Like there's TONS of "accidental homestuck" posts where its functionally just someone being like "Hey I wish stories existed where things go this way!" and everyone being like "That happens in homestuck!" and the obvious intent is that its supposed to be this huge GOTCHA like "HA dumbass thought a Homestuck-ass idea was GOOD!!!!!!!! But its obviously cringe because Homestuck is CRINGE" But like. if Homestuck does all these things that we all want to see, maybe its because Homestuck is actually good? I mean its easily one of the most influential pieces of media from its era, fans/contributors of it have gone on to create such incredible works as Undertale and The Locked Tomb series, it pioneered telling stories through multiple mediums in an online setting, its got some of the most memorable characters to ever exist, its even still got an active fanbase years after the content slowed to literally nothing for a while--Maybe, just maybe, we should admit that Homestuck is fucking good???????? Maybe even GREAT???????? And the fact that its available entirely for free online in this era where everything costs some stupid subscription MINIMUM is something we should celebrate, and go enjoy????????

its honestly a little funny how far people will go to avoid saying Homestuck is good actually

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I've been having this issue with the beyondcanon website where whenever i'm on a page with a non standard background color (for instance, Yiffy: Lights out or Diamonds, Dames, and Dads) it causes the whole website to rapidly alternate between the two backgrounds. Just wondering if you're aware of this or if it's something on my end and not a replicable problem

this was brought up in the work chat and i believe it is on the list of things to fix about the website

[dingodad]

like im sure someone had used the phrase "dubiously canon" to describe something at some point pre-homestuck but if you actually look for the exact words "dubiously canon" or "dubious canon" on either the homestuck OR beyondcanon websites you will find that they never appeared. that was me. i said that. i'm sorry

[gendertrickster]

literally can we just give beyondcanon its one free walkback for transmasc roxy. it is so deeply impassionate and i can feel how little anyone actually gives a shit about it. it's a bad tactless and deeply transmisogynistic choice made by a couple petty screwball idiots once that we are forcing ourselves to live with for absolutely no good reason. can we bite the goddamn bullet and just walk it back already

[perthstuck-beyondcanon]

There is no spongebob yaoi or yuri on perthstuck-beyondcanon, that is a lie made up by th- no don't scroll down what are you doing stop that

[juggalism]

LMAO beyondcanon is blocked on the work wifi

[ohsoleon]

there are going to be 4. (four) more vriska updates.

[sapphiclittlecryptid]

Frankly I'm distressed and repulsed by this reference. Caught off guard no warning no safe word

so the easiest thing to do here is to just change his text color to one with a darker contrast.

before:

after:

luckily for us, the new site actually uses named css classes to change the colors of the text! so all we need to do is edit .text-char-dirk.

easiest way to do that is to use an extension like stylish for chrome that lets u write your own userstyle. all you need to do is install it, and then on the beyondcanon website, click the extension icon and click write new style.

and then you can paste in a new userstyle like the one i just wrote:

/* ==UserStyle== @name beyondcanon.com - Apr 2024 @namespace github.com/openstyles/stylus @version 1.0.0 @description A new userstyle @author Me ==/UserStyle== */ @-moz-document domain("beyondcanon.com") { /* Insert code here… */ .text-char-dirk {color: rgb(219 112 19);} }

and that should work once u hit save to change the text to a higher contrast one!

i am 100% sure that the beyond canon team is working on a native version of this, where u can increase contrast. kohi (who's working on the site) just gave it a huge overhaul with a ton of new features like better page loading, and (this is huge) a quirk disabler -- showing that the new team is gonna prioritize accessibility in the future. my guess is that its just takin a while because all development takes a while, esp something as potentially fragile as upgrading a complete website while keeping all of its content intact etc.

so yeah! tldr:

download stylish on chrome or a similar extension for firefox

paste in the above code

hit save. done!

yo, you know how in beyond canon dirk's text is bright fuckin orange and it's on a grey background so it's really aggravating to read? do you know anyway to make that easier to read, idk you're very knowledgeable about homestuck so you seem like the person to ask.

Hi! So yes, i totally get you, it is a bit eye searing! i kinda do know, but it actually involves me summoning a more knowledgeable friend @classpectpokerap . Theyre pretty good with code stuff, so i trust them to help you out.

[theartisticapparition]

Fourth homestuck kid~~ I love them their design looks so cool 

Just one sketch before i finish my work

[i-petted-a-snake]

Oh gosh, those fics were adorable! You have great taste :) I was wondering if you could recommend any others (I'm rubbish at finding good ones)? Any setting is fine.

Boi, you just unleashed the beast lmao I have soooo many recs. This should definitely be more than enough, but if you want more recs, feel free to ask lol
