It's fine. ^-^

Homestuck is the best fandom ever. I love it more than any anime or show or book or movie I've ever come across. It's really emotional, but there is some humor.

Four kids - John Egbert, Dave Strider, Jade Harley, and Rose Lalonde - play this game called Sburb. Little do they know, it's going to send them into a spiral of death, depression, and pain. It was meant only for fun, just a game, but it turns out to be so much more.

They meet twelve trolls - Karkat Vantas, Aradia Megido, Tavros Nitram, Sollux Captor, Nepeta Leijon, Kanaya Maryam, Equius Zahhak, Vriska Serket, Feferi Peixes, Eridan Ampora, and Gamzee Makara - who are of the planet Alternia.

They all have personalities that, at first, seem to be typical and common. John's a smiley nerdish boy. Dave is a typical hipster boy. Jade and Rose just seem to be the more feminine and girly characters who aren't exactly very good at much when it comes to the fighting. Karkat is a hot-tempered foul-mouthed jerk. Aradia is a kind, sweet girly girl. Tavros is a babyish helpless little boy. Sollux is a sarcastic Bipolar hacker. Nepeta is a sweethearted little girl who loves shipping and roleplaying. Kanaya is a fashion-loving vampire. Equius is the creeper with a ton of awkward fetishes. Vriska is a bully who thinks she's stronger and better than everyone. Feferi is a kinda-short-tempered girl with kind of an attitude. Eridan is very arrogant and thinks he's the best. Finally, Gamzee is a really foul-mouthed gangster-ish but kindhearted guy. Sound like dull typical characters? Think again! They have personalitites deeper than that that're all their own, and they're characters develop.

The characters are only one factor. The plotline is absolutely beautiful. They go along, meet new characters, and suffer through and overcome problem after problem. I highly recommend it. I cried so many times, and laughed. It's so wonderful. It's the most beautiful thing ever.
