I've seen people on the internet talk about "Homestuck" before but I don't really understand what it is. I assumed comic at first, but I'm not so sure anymore.

I googled it, and found a terrible looking comic, but I'm not sure if that's actually it, or...

homestuck actually has a neat visual aesthetic and an interesting presentational premise and much care and devotion has gone into it and it's worth experiencing, but jesus christ it is so easy to get lost, also it has spawned an insane fanbase, like,

Yeah, "Homestuck" isn't exactly terrible-looking once you realize what he's doing. I'm a fan, but I'm not a FAN -- in the sense that I don't really know who half the characters are and couldn't begin to tell you what's going on right now with all the ancestors on their dreamworlds and, um....On the other hand, I know what a "moirail" is.
