* If I had to choose my favorite characters I could probably narrow it down to Karkat/Vriska/Aradia/Nepeta being my favorite postscratch Trolls and Kankri/Aranea/Latula for my favorite prescratch Trolls. Though for the kids it's probably John for Beta Kid, and Roxy for Alpha Kid. If any of that made sense.

* Oh sweet Jesus. Ships. I definitely ship Karkat<3Sollux, Karkat<3Terezi, Karkat<3Kankri, Gamzee<3Tavros, Nepeta<>Equius...The list just goes on. And for the kids: Dave<3John, Roxy<3Jane, Dirk<3Jake. Those are for sure. I ship more too! It's just hard to actually name them all.

* My favorite part is when everyone dies. I don't really have a favorite part. I just love the whole darned thing.

* My least favorite part is probably the intermissions that [seem to] stray completely from anything relevant to the plot. So that first intermission was rather...not fun for me when I first read it. I bet I'm speaking for a lot of people when I say that. :)

* I found out about Homestuck through a friend who was seriously obsessed with it. So, after she showed me what my zodiac troll(s) would be I looked up the infamous 'Homestuck' only to get sucked into the lovely void that is now my life.

* I started reading it about a week after that. This was just about a year ago. I don't remember the exact date. I just know it took me a bit to actually get into it.

* Basically all of the strife music and the theme songs for the characters. I also love certain flash music like Gold Pilot and Cascade, for instance.

* Well. I do have headcanons. But some are weird and inappropriate, so I won't say those. My favorite one is the nook and bulge headcanon. And one I thought of myself where if a troll's God Tier wings get ripped/cut off that it is excruciatingly painful and they will leave huge scars that will cause the same pain again when touched. I am a mean person, I guess. Otherwise I enjoy the elf-like ears headcanon. Most of my headcanons are for ships though.

* My patron trolls are Sollux and Mituna Captor. Hehe. Though I am also located on a cusp so I consider Karkat and Kankri Vantas as my patrons as well. I do show signs of both Gemini and Cancer anyway, so.

* All these Pokemon...I've never really considered what Pokemon partner each troll could have. Though I know for a fact Eridan's would be Kingdra. Kankri's is definitely Chatot. Uh...

* Oh, yes. I have a [female] John Egbert God Tier cosplay all ready and set up in my closet, actually. I'm also working on Kankri and Karkat cosplays too! I can't wait!!

* As for Pesterchum/Trollian, I have one for myself and several others for my OCs. But I am hardly ever on. It would be aurumChimera.

my favorite characters overall in homestuck would definitely be sollux and karkat in first place

karkat's a master wordcrafter, some of his insults are so beautiful like seriously i could sit and listen to karkat chew me out all day ahahah but seriously, i like how he's so prickly on the outside, but it's obvious that he cares a lot about his friends
sollux is pretty good at wordcrafting as well, also his terrible puns are terrible, and his design is incredibly cool
i'm quite fond of feferi... a lot of people seem to pass her off as the brainless fish princess, but holy cow she's a sassy lady, it's hilariously adorable, i wish she got less crap for cutting moirailship off with eridan though

as for the humans, i really, really like dave and dirk... there's just something about those striders <3

wv and ms paint are seriously too adorable to not love also

there aren't a lot of characters i don't like though, i either really super adore/love them, am okay with them, or am neutral

for ships, karkat <3 sollux is my OTP <3333 like i literally will not ship these guys in the red quadrant with anyone else ahah i will go down with this one, i also ship them in some weird freaky awkward brotp amalgamation of red pale and black, with red being predominate
i thought i was the only one who liked aradia <3 feferi, but it has a lot of potential for feels, which is really a lot of what i look for when i ship
i also ship karkat <> gamzee, i was sad when it dissolved :(
mituna <3 latula is like wow cuties
i'd like to see dirk and jake work things out too, though i also ship dirk/jane and dirk/roxy man i think all i want to see is dirk be happy haha

my favorite part of the comic...it's all pretty cool
i wasn't too crazy about the midnight crew intermission, but that's cause i didn't understand it but now i'm like okay, that's not so bad...still not my favorite though
i loved the alterniabound flashes and all the ones like it, walking around and talking to the characters as a character was stupidly fun
mostly i read the first acts of the comic having absolutely no idea what was going on, and i was in it for the art...and also dave

i found out about homestuck while i was rolling around on youtube a long while ago... i saw these little demon characters in all these videos and i was wondering what the heck, what anime is this, and i went researching and found out allll about homestuck (the first homestuck youtube vid i ever watched was solkat, go fig)

i started reading homestuck a few weeks before the cascade flash, whenever that was

favorite music...oh man
fuschia ruler, even in death, unite synchronization, frog forager, rex duodecim angelus, the cascade version of flare, english, ocean stars falling, serenade, terezi owns, the lemonsnout turnabout, arisen anew (doctor who and vocaloid? i'm not going to say no to this song)

i'll just say i share all detestalicious' headcanons and leave it at that lol

my patron trolls are vriska and aranea :b

i REALLY like the idea of pokestuck... i actually have a lot of headcanons for it and used to roleplay it elsewhere
i want sollux to have a bunch of combee lol i don't think he'd be all that excited about the concept though... i imagine tavros, feferi, aradia, or nepeta would be pretty chuffed about getting cute critters to travel with
aradia and fossil pokemon!
nepeta with skitties and meowths eevees and all the cat pokemon, also gardevoir would make quite the elegant tea companion

my pesterchum is astronomicalTechnorave though i'm most often in invisible mode on my sollux alt, thoroughlyAntisocial
it'd be pretty cool if we could fix ourselves up a memo to hang out in too!

Favorite characters.....that's hard to choose. Almost all of the characters give me feels. ?(????) Kanaya is definitely one of my favorite characters. She's such a trooper and have been awesome throughout the whole thing. Initally, Vriska wasn't one of my favorite characters (even though we're both Scorpios) but she grew onto me. For kids, the pre-scratch kids are my favorite. (so much feels man)
I like Karkat<3Terezi, Aradia<3Sollux, Lesbifins, Dirk<3Jake, Meenah<>Vriska, and so much more....Karkat<3Sollux is also a nice ship.
My favorite part of the comic...is finding out when there's an update so I get learn more about what's happening.
My least favorite part was the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff random comic thing.
Actually, I've forgotten how I heard about Homestuck. I vaguely knew about its existence for at least a year or so before 2012 and then my friends and I were talking about reading it. I didn't get to it until August of 2013. So I'm relatively new to all of this and stuff.
What comes to my mind first is Hate You. I also really like the album Symphony Impossible to Play and the Medium.
I do have headcanons but typing them out is too much work. Also most of them involve one ship.
My patron trolls are the Captors.
Regarding PokeStuck, I like what other people have partnered the characters with in general.
Haven't cosplayed as anything from Homestuck or anything else yet....
I also don't have a Pesterchum. I'm afraid I'll get too distracted and not do any work....Also, I'm thinking about a good Pesterchum handle to use xD

who are your favorite characters, and why?
Ahh wowwww, that's a hard one, because I kind of love most of them-?
But if I had to narrow it down to just a few, I'd have to say I really like Karkat, Sollux, Eridan, Nepeta, Damara, and Aradia.
I don't really have any specific reasons per say, that's just who appeals to me the most I guess...

who do you ship?
Wowwwwww, this one.... I mean, I have a lot of ships honestly, but again if I had to pick just a few, GamKar<> and Karezi<3 are pretty much my ultimate ships, but I also really like Rosemary<3, SolKat<3, NepKat<3, Meowrails.... If you're interested in the full list, it's on my tumblr, and I could link you to that, I don't want to make this post too long....

what's your favorite part of the comic?
what's your least favorite part of the comic?
I don't really have an answer for these, honestly, there are a lot of great things about all the parts, I think, and it's hard to choose-

how did you find out about homestuck?
From friends- Actually, oddly enough, it was a while ago when the fandom was still largely hated, and a couple of friends were talking about how much they disliked it, and I kinda thought "it can't be all that bad maybe I'll look into it," but later I heard from a friend who did (still does) like it, and that's when I decided "yeah, I'm going to read this.

when did you start reading homestuck?
A little more than a year ago.

what's your favorite music from it?
Ohhh that's hard too, all the music is pretty great....
Karkat's theme is my ringtone on my phone if that counts for anything-

do you have any headcanons for anything?
So many...
So many.......

who's your patron troll?
Uhhm, well most people here seem to be going by their Zodiac trolls, which in my case, I'm an Aries, so that would be Aradia and Damara-
However, I prefer the method described here (as it's more accurate, what with the kids' patrons not matching up to their zodiac, and when used with their canon birth dates, does yield their canon patrons), in which case mine would be Feferi.

what pokemon would you partner with the characters?
Hmmm, not really sure, to be honest.... I do like some of the things a few of you already said-

have you cosplayed as anything from homestuck?
Yes, I cosplay Karkat-

do you have a pesterchum, and if so, you can share it if you'd like!
Yeah, mine is blueCourage
