that shit is dark once you get to the right part

I don't even understand Homestuck it's just so NEAT

is that a bad

I mean story wise I don't have a clue what's happening but it looks so awesome

it is

Yeah

it's also 1.2 million words

That's right
It's actually longer than the Bible

yeah
the bible has 783,137 while homestuck has over 1,200,000

as much as i "dislike" it i have to admit i'm glad it exists because Toby Fox probably wouldn't have done anything if it didn't

True

I just feel like it's REALLY overrated

I dunno man
I like it
I don't OBSESS over it
But I like it

I know I'm not saying it's bad I'm just saying it's overrated as F**K

I guess

I just don't get why people treat it like a form of breathing

I mean me neither I'd NEVER be that excited over it

STOP SAYING "READ HOMESTUCK" YOURE NOT READING IT ITS NOT A F**KING NOVEL OR SOMETHING ITS JUST DRAWINGS WITH A FEW WORDS YOURE NOT READING IT YOURE JUST LOOKING AT GO***MN IMAGES

GO ACTUALLY 'READ' SOME REAL BOOKS

I second this

it doesn't have to be a novel for you to read it
your reading my comment right now

*you're

but it HAS to be made of words for you to read it, and your comment is made of words. homestuck is just story made of drawings so you're technically not reading it.

See?
Words.

still not enough words to call yourself "reading" it.
no artistic language, just short sentences.

Ok so reading is when you look at words and process them in your mind
Do you look at and process words when looking at Homestuck?
You do.
Therefore you are reading it.
Also there is no requirement for a certain amount of words or artistic language.
No such thing has ever existed.

you dont understand do you?
it just should be counted as a comic or whatever because its toooooo far from being a novel.

Too big to be a comic

No.

It's bigger than THE BIBLE
You can NOT tell me it's not too big to be a comic

NOTHING CAN BE "TOO BIG TO BE A COMIC"

still technically not a novel. too far from being a novel like I said.

chees pizz a 👍👍👍

seriously, its literally the same logic as calling a long audiobook a "movie" because its long. look from that perspective.

you said it isnt real reading

yea but you took it too literally

your logic is dumb because your saying that homestuck is bad and isnt real reading when it has 1.2+ million words

1. ITS NOT ABOUT HOW MANY WORDS IT HAS I SAID THAT TO SIMPLIFY WHAT I MEAN

2. when did I say Homestuck is bad?

3. it just shouldn't be count as reading a novel but should be count as a reading a comic book because a comic book is closer to whatever it is + if its big it doesnt mean its a novel because it doesnt have what an actual novel has.

I hope you understand what I mean this time because I tried to come to the point

i process words when i watch a playthrough of the worst game ever made, that doesn't mean i'm "reading" Sticker Star

You're reading words in Sticker Star
You're also playing Sticker Star
Reading is going along with the game
Going along with the game is called playing a game
What do you call going along with a story?
Reading a story.
This is unaffected by the quality of the subject at hand.

well Sticker Star isn't a novel just because it has words and a story (i wouldn't even consider it a game but that's beside the point)
neither is Homestuck
i also never said the quality had anything to do with it

Sticker Star isn't a novel because it's a game
You control a person
You can win or lose parts of the game
You can't control a novel
You can't control Homestuck
Novels can have pictures
Novels can have very little complete sentences
That's the thing
There are almost no requirements for novels

it is NOT a novel
it is a f**king COMIC

I won't

I'm sorry

No need to apologize so much

You're alright

every time an argument breaks out i always do this

It's OKAY

i'm sorry now i'm doing that other thing i always do
please don't go offline

With all due respect you need to CALM DOWN
I might get off for a bit if this goes on

wait nonono i'm sorry
i always do this i'll calm down

It's ok you don't need to worry yourself over this
I'm not mad I just wanted you to calm down

i'm sorry

It is at the least a graphic novel

it's 1.2 million words

There are words
It's really just a long comic but the words aren't in bubbles, they're below the picture

like I said, it just doesnt have that artistic language that REAL books have, its just short talk ass sentences

That's because they talk like real people
It's not your average story

you've obviously never read an actual novel. it's just SOOO different and they "talk like real people" there too it just tells what's happening in artistic language and that artistic language is what makes a novel a novel. not some drawins.

really living up to your username

Novels can have drawings for every panel
This is, at the very least, a graphic novel

choose your own adventure ahh panel

There's a BUNCH of words you haven't even looked at it

you haven't even looked at an actual novel, it's supposed to tell whatever is going on in an artistic language not basic ass drawings and short talk ass sentences.

Homestuck has words you literally just need to read the first 100 pages
Someone came to the conclusion that it has 1.2 million words in 8,000 pages
Look at this, this is in one page of homestuck
is that not enough words for you

you're misunderstanding me.
a real novel is supposed to tell what's happening in a very artistic language that makes your brain picture it and also words sound very good. that on the other hand, just has basic sentences (many words doesnt mean not basic) and just drawings. it doesnt even have that real novel feeling and vibe.

https://www.amazon.com/Homestuck-Book-Act-Andrew-Hussie/dp/1421599406 they have books

it's still too far from being a novel. its just like a comic book. if its not a comic book there's no way its a novel.

average novel word count is 70,000 to 120,000 words so you're right
homestuck has around 1,200,000 words so it's between 10 novels and 17 novels

its not about how many words it has
I just used it to simplify what I was talking about.

chee s pizza 👍
