“Describe homestuck” is a weird question, because you can describe the overarching plot but not the weird branches it shoots off into

Like, “Homestuck is about a reality altering video game that comes about at the end of every world that, if beaten, allows the players to become gods of the next world. we follow four kids from our world who play it, the aliens from the previous game that made our world, and a ‘reboot’ game that comes about when ours fails.”

And then someone asks about how the fuck Betty Crocker plays into it and you don’t fucking know how to answer without a goddamn essay

giving someone a quick, offhand summation of homestuck like it didn’t consume at least three years of your life:

THEY ASK A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION:

“betty crocker is the queen of the world the aliens who made ours are from. she escaped the destruction of their universe into ours so she could wait for our worlds players to almost win and she could steal the new universe herself”
