I am allowed to call you out for hypocrisy here?/

No. I should have said that I miss being actively interested in Homestuck and coming up with theories about the future of the plot. I miss being that engaged in something that is complicated, intelligent, and humorous. I'm not sure exactly how I could force myself to want to go back and read a thousand pages to catch up while not being able to really do what I enjoyed most about reading that comic: contemplating what the fuck is going on with people who are as clueless as I am. Everyone I would talk to about the comic is either way behind me or way ahead.

Where are you in Homestuck?

Ahead of you. After [s]: Cascade. To be more descriptive, you can consider me immediately after Cascade because I skipped alpha kids stuff to read new updates and therefore am not really caught up, or you could consider me around the part with all the ghost shit because that is when i last stopped reading.
Then again, you could also consider me at the beginning of act 5 because I really only skimmed through the Troll's introductions so I could get to the most recent update as quickly as possible.

I suppose I could just do what I've done in the past and skim the fuck through so I could start speculating about future updates, but I don't really see the point because Homestuck is about to be over and the last update was almost two months ago, so people probably have slowed down with their crazy fan-theories.

I am told that I am almost to Cascade. Perhaps? Stupid college essays stopping my Homestuck-reading.

So it wasn't really the actual webcomic you liked, it was interacting with other people about it? Interesting.

I mean, I did like the webcomic itself, it's just that my favorite part was thinking about it and discussing it with other people. So yeah. I'm the same way with literature. I enjoy thinking about books and discussing their meaning with other people much more than I actually enjoy reading them, for the most part. I still enjoy reading the books.

I guess I never really had that experience, because I started reading it after everyone else I know (except people who I've recommended it to). I love Homestuck because it's so clever and so incredibly creative. Plus it has cool music and art.
