Obviously Homestuck is not everybody's cup of tea. If you have criticism or questions in regards to my playing, however, I'd prefer you take it to my HMD post. Otherwise, this post is designed to help you feel as comfortable as possible playing with me.

I'm more than aware that a lot of people resent Homestuck for being a popular canon with a lot of terms and memes that are incomprehensible to those who hven't read/watched/played it. I'm going to attempt to avoid cultivating this resentment as much as possible. I don't want to blind people with blocks of purple courier, I don't want to make constant references to things nobody else understands without explaining myself, and I don't want to godmode simply because "that's the way my canon is". I'm absolutely willing to compromise, translate and explain wherever possible, but in the end I don't think playing off a Homestuck troll is any different to playing off a Homunculus from FMA or a Claymore or a Bleach Shinigami — each canon has species, abilities, terminology and references that an "outsider" would not intuitively grasp and yet they still manage to integrate just fine within a panfandom setting.

If you would like to request for me to never tag your characters or to never tag you with the purple courier that is fine! Even if we're just threading in a meme or on dear_mun or something! You may do so here by commenting with this handy form:

Comments are screened and I won't be replying to them. I honestly will not be offended if you choose to take this opt-out.

Homestuck trolls, being aliens, call some things familiar to humans by different names. For my reference and yours, here is a glossary of these terms.

For my reference and not particularly yours, this cool dude compiled a text colour reference for all characters.
