cherubs:

To be fair, you have to
have a very high IQ to understand Homestuck. The humor is extremely subtle, and
without a solid grasp of romantic quadrants most of the jokes will go over a
typical viewer’s head. There’s also Karkat’s nihilistic outlook, which is
deftly woven into his characterisation – his personal philosophy draws heavily
from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff;
they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these
jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about
LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Homestuck truly ARE idiots- of course
they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Karkat’s existential
catchphrase “FUCKASS,” which itself is a cryptic reference to
Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons I’m smirking right now just imagining
one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Andrew
Hussie’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I
pity them. 😂 And
yes by the way, I DO have a Homestuck tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s
for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re
within 5 Echeladder rungs of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
