is a maiestic natural wonder nestled in the enchanting region of East Java, Indonesia. Located near the slopes of Mount Semeru, the highest volcano on the island of Java, Tumpak Sewu is a breathtaking cascade of waterfalls that captivates visitors with its sheer beauty and grandeur 🌲🌊 !.
Do you remember when tumblr was overrun by kids in grey body paint and horns speculating over how their story would end, when browser extensions would ping almost every day alerting people to a webcomic update, when the anticipation of the next plot twist had people inventing chaotic AUs and sometimes other, completely fake webcomics?
Do you want to do it again?
On April 13, 2024, I will turn on New Reader Mode in the Unofficial Homestuck Collection, and I will not turn it off again until April 13, 2031. Every day, I will post to this blog which pages were originally posted on the corresponding day 15 years ago, and read those associated pages - and if anyone else wants to experience or re-experience Homestuck in real time, I invite you to read along.
A few months back I had the idea of 'what if Dracula Daily but for Homestuck' and I considered how to make Homestuck work in email format - I think it's possible, but would be a lot of work and still wouldn't be as good a reading experience as the Unofficial Collection. So I modified the idea and just made a big spreadsheet of which dates every Homestuck page was posted on, and I'll be scheduling the page ranges to post day by day for myself and anyone else to follow along with in the app.
I came to Homestuck towards the end of its original run, so I've never had to wait for updates on the main comic - which I've heard is a very different reading experience to getting a few pages a day and having to endure long pauses in the last few thousand pages. I can't turn back time and start reading in 2009, so this is the next best way to get the real time reading experience. I am really interested to see if this will change my opinion on any aspects of the comic, as I like a lot of the things I know other fans hate, and I am extremely committed to seeing this through, even when it means not looking at some incredible moments for many years.
Will this be a good way to experience Homestuck? Will anyone else think this is a cool idea? I have no fucking clue, but ai'm excited to see how it works out. If other people are interested, I have other ideas including a Discord server in the style of r/stuck10yearsbehind, otherwise, I'll brave the solo journey.
Happy Cascade Day, Homestucks grab your strife specibi, go forth and be cringe 😎

one of my favorite parts of this drawing was how varied the responses i got when asked for a "club" outfit were. everyone kind of looks like theyre attending a completely different event but here is my rough attempt at categories.
oh, to hit the gay bar with balthazar. we can only dream of the carnage.
some other silly stuff i did: romance breakdown. congrats to woljif on the four girlfriends and boyfriend.
