Rules

This is primarily an ask blog. Feel free to ask me questions, or try to pester her.

I am fairly selective when it comes to roleplay partners. Do not take offense, I’ve just had a lot of bad experiences in this community.

I will do small interactions with people though, but they will most likely not be a part of my blog-canon.

This is a single ship blog. I have yet to choose a ship partner, but once I do I will only have them.

NSFW will be somewhat common on this blog. It will all be tagged as ‘nsfw’ or ‘mildly nsfw’. All gore and blood will be tagged also for your blacklisting leisure.

No art used on this blog is mine unless explicitly stated. Icon is drawn by SkepticArcher. Sidebar and Banner are both canon art drawn by Riot. I will do my best to source all other  art that I post.

Now, onto the rules. Thank you for coming and reading them, I greatly appreciate it!

I will probably do occasional world building on this blog. I’m fine with you reblogging it to your blog. I love it in fact, because it shows me you like it! But I please ask that you do not repost it or take credit for it. If you want to use anything I write, please ask me first. I will almost always say yes, but if you don’t ask, I will have you take it down.

I do not consider the Institute of War to be canon. As such, my muse will most likely have no idea who you are unless your muse is someone incredibly well known (a leader of a country like Swain, a famous assassin like Talon, etc).

This blog is OC friendly, however I ask you do not force an interaction with my muse simply because yours says they know mine. Building is needed first.

I shouldn’t have to say this, but God Modding will instantly earn you a block from me. If your character takes no damage in a fight, if you write my character’s vocalizations FOR me, if you force a relationship (romantic or otherwise), If you use information about her that your character otherwise would not know at all…you will be gone.

Be patient with me. I do take a long time to reply sometimes due to work and other things. If you pester me for responses, I am more likely to drop the thread.

Please don’t take offense at what my muse does or says. Remember, she is a muse and not me. Her actions, beliefs, and convictions are not my own. If you can’t separate mun from muse, do not interact.

If I find that you’ve harassed one of my friends, I will not interact with you. This community is a rough place, and I appreciate loyalty to a friend I’ve known for four years over a newcomer.

You are not required to match my writing length or style. Oftentimes my first couple replies are long, but the rest are a more manageable length. It can seem very imposing, but please don’t respond with just a few sentences or a paragraph. It won’t give me enough to respond to.

If you read the rules, please send me “I will dance in ashes.”

Now it looks like metal!

[radwolf76]

Here is a series of images that I'd saved from a now defunct blog, images that supposedly originated on the MSPA Forums shortly after the Breaking Of The Internet:

And here's some text in a pastebin (I don't remember the source) that goes into further detail about the whole thing.

And of course, here's a decent YouTube mirror of [S] Cascade itself. Obviously spoilers if you haven't gotten to that part of Homestuck yet, but even going into it with zero context you can still appreciate the spectacle of it, especially the parts where the animation escapes the confines of its borders to expand to fill the whole MSPA web page:

Gather ‘round, children, and listen to an old Homestuck tell the story of The Day Andrew Hussie Broke the Internet.

See, back in 2011, when Homestuck was at its peak popularity, mspaintadventures.com was getting over a million hits a day.  It outpaced a couple of the top news sites at the time put together–I think one of them was CNN.com, actually, but it’s been almost a decade, I can’t remember which ones specifically.  If you see cosplayers having minor PTSD breakdowns about gray facepaint, it’s because we were everywhere at conventions.  Homestuck fans roved in packs, meming incomprehensibly on people and generally making a nuisance of ourselves in the most well-meaning manner possible.

Hussie knew that he was about to drop thirteen minutes of footage on millions of rabid fans, in the form of a flash video that messed with the very structure of the website itself.  (No, seriously, it was mind-blowing at the time.)

So he partnered with Newgrounds, getting them to host the flash itself, hoping it would keep his own website from shattering into a million pieces.

Now, at the time, Newgrounds was one of the biggest deals on the internet.  It’s where every major Flash artist and video maker went to upload their creations.  It was a lawless wasteland, but it was also a creative bastion that got TONS of traffic, one that could weather almost any storm the internet could create.  Its owners were confident they could handle the traffic.

Boy howdy were they wrong.

Homestuck updated with half a dozen pages every day, so people were used to a constant flow of content, but by the time [S] Cascade was ready to drop, Hussie hadn’t posted any pages in a month and a half.  We were all on edge; the MSPA update desktop apps had been sitting there without pinging that whole time, we all knew something Fucking Massive was about to hit us, but none of us were prepared for what actually happened.

The mind-blowing nature of the flash itself is a story for another post, sadly, because we’re here to talk about everything else that happened that fateful night.

The night Hussie broke the internet.

The flash dropped.

Hundreds of thousands of people had their MSPA notification bots pop open, giving quite a few of us heart attacks.

Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people descended upon mspaintadventures.com to view the new flash.

And, within a handful of minutes, Homestuck fans had crashed Newgrounds.

The behemoth.  The titan.  Newgrounds had fallen before the collective might of a million stir-crazy webcomic fans.  Fortunately, however, several people had loaded the whole of Cascade on their computers, and decided to host a livestreaming party so other fans could see it!

And promptly took down livestream.com.

Hussie himself uploaded the animation to megaupload.com.

Megaupload was crushed under its weight.

Some of the more enterprising fans decided to record Cascade as a video and upload it to Dropbox.

Dropbox shattered under the blow.

I think this cascaded to a couple other websites, but the one most relevant to you, o Tumblr user, is that the Homestuck fanbase had a huge presence on this very website–still does, honestly–and the sheer number of people talking about the Cascade SNAFU crashed Tumblr a couple times.

This was unprecedented.  This wasn’t a DDoS attack, this wasn’t a virus, this wasn’t any kind of malicious assault on the hubs of the Internet.  This was just one single excited fanbase desperate to consume a piece of media that they’d been building up to for two and a half years of constant drip-feeding.  This wasn’t malice, this wasn’t trolling, this wasn’t an attack.

This was the day Homestuck broke the internet under the weight of its fandom’s love.

I think that’s kind of beautiful, honestly.
