An Introduction to: Homestuck

Hello! Chances are if you read the above title you said one of three things to yourself:
"Homestuck! : ) " or "Homestuck! >  :  (" or maybe just
"Huh?"
Note: an image from the comic. 
In the case that is was the third answer, worry not because I am here to inform you. Homestuck is a webcomic by Andrew Hussie which you can find here. It is about four kids who play a video game that ends the world. But it is a lot more than that really, so much so that it will take a entire post to just to explain it! A bit of a warning though, it contains a fair amount of strong language so be advised.

Homestuck is a comic done is the style of text based adventure games, and it seems to parody them at first. It also has flash animations and minigames, so it's really more of a web-thing at this point. It also happens to have over 8,000 pages, so it's kinda a doozy.

It starts off about a boy named John Egbert, who receives of a copy of the game Sburb in the mail. Little does he know that playing this game kind of ends the world. So him and his fellow players Rose, Dave, and Jade must play the game in order to escape certain doom.

Homestuck is really a comic about a lot of things, and it starts out with it being a parody of video games. With all the captchalogging shenanigans and other such references. But does it get more complicated, who boy! Homestuck has a long and complicated plot with one thing making it so complicated: Time travel.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?!?
note: another image( GIF) from the webcomic.
 Homestuck has a complicated plot with many confusing factors but somehow I feel it does this well. It's confusing at times to be sure, but it's so well written you can't help but love it( at least me anyways). The characters feel real, the plot is good, it's not afraid to get silly, and it all just has this lovable feeling to it. Homestuck just completed it's run about a week ago, so now it the perfect time to read it. I'd tell you more but Homestuck is best something experienced for yourself.

Anyways that is just my feelings on and introduction to my favorite webcomic ever, so I hoped you enjoyed it. I haven't been posting much because I have a bit of a project coming up in a few weeks, which I will post here. I hope you are looking forward to it. Catch ya later! : o )

The Ending of Gravity Falls

I thought it was perfect. Everything I hoped and the best we could've asked for. Gravity Falls has been my favorite show for awhile and I loved this ending. Everything was wrapped up nicely, with a few hanging plot threats so that we can always come back to it, which I like. All the characters come back for an epic ending. It was the ending of summer and it felt really appropriate. It was very emotion and heartwarming too, I teared up towards the end. I'm sad it's gone but it will always be in my heart forever, and is now my favorite show of all time. That montage at the end was great too. I'll probably do a top ten episodes sometime in the future.

Gravity Falls

I just wanted to let you guys know that the series finale of Gravity Falls is airing tonight, as well as the first half-hour special of Gumball. I'll do some sort of retrospective of GF after or something. Thanks for reading!

We Bare Bears: Charlie

We Bare Bears: Charlie is a episode of We Bare Bears. In this episode the Bears get a house guest as part of some website, but instead of a awesome friend that Grizz wanted, it's Charlie the very messy bigfoot. This was a really funny episode, with Charlie being a funny new character. My favorite part was at the end with him and Panda. I give this episode 4.5 out of 5 stars.

New Gravity Falls

I just wanted to remind everyone that there is a new episode of Gravity Falls this monday is part two of Weirdmageddon. Alex Hirsch has also announced that part 3 is a hour long special is to be the series finale of the show. While I am disappointed by this news I'm happy the show was able to end on its own terms and have its story come to a close. I hope Mr. Hirsch does more cartoons in the future. Gravity Falls forever!

We Bare Bears: The Road

We Bare Bears: The Road is a new episode of We Bare Bears. In the this episode the bears are cubs and we get a look at their life. This episode was very funny and the baby bears were absolutely adorable. The voice actors they choose were very appropriate for each character, even Ice Bear who didn't actually say anything in this episode. I really liked this episode and hope for more baby bear episodes in the future. I give this 4.75 out of 5 stars.
