&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some people hate Homestuck because they think it’s about a boy who just stands around in his bedroom. I will not try to tell these people that they are wrong, but at least with my help they can easily lie to their friends by pretending that they have actually read Homestuck and enjoyed it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some choice plot points from acts 1 through 6, in no particular order:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mark Twain is killed by a newborn baby dual-wielding flintlock pistols&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Somebody chops a meteor in half with a sword&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One of the villains builds a tall building full of staircases just to torment a guy in a wheelchair&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;About 90% of the characters are time travelers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Somebody attacks a planet by dropping a moon out of orbit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A video game destroys all life on Earth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One of the characters makes &lt;a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/"&gt;Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Charles Dutton can see into the future&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A god shows up and literally juggles a bunch of planets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Prohibition-era mobster plows through a wall Kool-Aid Man style&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The whole universe blows up&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A completely different universe also blows up&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The author jumps into the story and engages in melee combat with the devil himself&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The creators of the universe track down the main characters to scream at them over the internet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Betty Crocker lands her alien spaceship on Earth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are dinosaurs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;I apologize for how much was left out of this summary. By the time it reaches completion, Homestuck will be longer than Leo Tolstoy’s famous novel War and Peace. If anyone wants to try writing a better summary, I wish them luck.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;let’s say you’re a big sherlock fan and you want to get your friends into sherlock what do you do&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you invite them over and pop in a dvd and watch an episode of sherlock and at the end your friends go “oh that was quite good” and borrow your dvds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;same deal with just about everything else right getting someone into something is as simple as turning a page or popping in a dvd or tuning your dvr to record at a certain hour&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but like&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you want to get your friend into homestuck&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“just click on the link trust me i know he’s a stick figure and he just kinda wanders around his house doing fuckall for 250 pages but it’s reaLLY COOL ONCE YOU GET INTO IT TRUST ME”&lt;/p&gt;

Bottles of light. 
Fluorescent lights and
streetlights..."</title><description>“&lt;p&gt;Here at the Light Emporium we sell light.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bottles of light. &lt;br/&gt;
Fluorescent lights and&lt;br/&gt;
streetlights and the light that falls&lt;br/&gt;
across the faces of your neighborhood buildings&lt;br/&gt;
at seven a.m. on a large march early spring&lt;br/&gt;
morning. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Purple and Green. Red and Black. &lt;br/&gt;
White lights — the ones you get when a car&lt;br/&gt;
is catapulting towards you at forty five miles&lt;br/&gt;
an hour. The near-death light. The DMT light. &lt;br/&gt;
All the ones that you can imagine — here: in little&lt;br/&gt;
glass vessels. Organized with the Dewey &lt;br/&gt;
Decimal System. 423 if you want to learn the language of&lt;br/&gt;
light. 700s to master the art of it. And 900: the history&lt;br/&gt;
of light, from the moment it was separated from&lt;br/&gt;
the darkness. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Buy them. Eat them. Stir them into your &lt;br/&gt;
morning coffee. Inject them straight into your&lt;br/&gt;
veins. Do you want to become the light? Here, &lt;br/&gt;
come to the Light Emporium. Where our sole&lt;br/&gt;
purpose is to give you everything&lt;br/&gt;
that takes away the dark corners that&lt;br/&gt;
keep you awake at night. &lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;“The Light Emporium,” Shinji Moon (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://commovente.tumblr.com/"&gt;commovente&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://ashlings.tumblr.com/post/50995544383</link><guid>http://ashlings.tumblr.com/post/50995544383</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 02:16:00 +1000</pubDate><category>words</category><category>magic is real</category><category>wow i.. love this so much??</category><category>so many light feelings i don't know what to do with suddenly</category><category>this needs a heroes of light run a magical shop au desperately</category><category>because this is everything</category><category>light as knowledge and guidance as healing and history as fortune and fate</category><category>where rose would collect it and spend hours numbering and cataloguing each and every vial and bottle</category><category>walking through aisles and labyrinths of light ensuring everything was in its place</category><category>and where aranea would forever be buried in journals and manuscripts carefully painstakingly recording the history of each light</category><category>each minute detail from its birth and its journey from its wavelength to the places and people it's touched</category><category>and then selectign only the most perfect and fitting lights for each and every customer according to their needs</category><category>lighthouse lights for the lost auroras for those seekings inspiration</category><category>low burning candle lights from romantic dinners for those falling in love and lights from the hearts of libraries for seekers of knowledge</category><category>and once they had their lights and turned the corner there'd be vriska</category><category>pockets full of light stolen from a midnight poker game a jewellery store or a fine arts museum</category><category>grinning and offering a discount on the finest light you would ever see</category><category>and once you made the trade hands full of light you don't need</category><category>she'd saunter off slyly pickpocketting your light to sell to the next poor idiot to cross her path</category></item><item><title>enoqi:

&lt;p&gt;Just something fun: The image on the left is a picture I did about a year ago. The one on the right is the same image revised for my AP portfolio. I’m pretty happy with the improvement margin, and I hope I can make the same growth in the next year!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, this is from before I got into homestuck, so when I saw Prospit Jade for the first time I kind of lost my shit with excitement.&lt;/p&gt;
