Ah! Umbagog got a mention!! YAY IT EXISTS!
don’t forget homestuck
I have Homestuck in my archive but I haven’t read it yet. All the comics I put in my masterposts are pieces I personally have read or have had submitted by their creators. I do this as a way to ensure everything is properly tagged and vetted as something I can put my recommendation on.
If I were being completely honest I’ve tried reading Homestuck a few times and I can see why it has such a huge fanbase but… for me the format is inaccessible. I have a processing disorder and between the chat format, typing quirks, multiple timelines and pacing I have serious trouble remembering and comprehending what is going on. It’s kind of frustrating on my end cause I know there’s a lot of people who enjoying it, some of my friends included, and I just can’t read it. I know there are comic dubs for the series and I wanna try again with those, but I have to put aside the time to put in the long haul. I really hope one day I can get through the story so I can include it in my lineups!
