Fan sightings!

[tynic]

I've never seen anyone wearing any MSPA gear outside of a convention. I've wondered, if I did, if I would bother to stop them and try to explain that the creator of Homestuck is my brother. But then I think that that would probably seem kind of desperate and awkward, so the better thing to do would be to just allow it to continue to be a not that interesting mystery.

you should probably just wear a shirt with andrew's face on it at all times. On the back it can say 'hussie bro'.

That wouldn't be weird at all.

Have Andrew insert you into some scenes so that you can be a bigger MSPA deal and sell your autograph!

I'm obviously Lord English all along.

That revelation would be when everyone stopped caring about Homestuck.

I'll wear it if someone makes it for me.

Mega64 loves all of you, especially Robogoat.

Oh man I didn't know this thread was here! This has happened to me a bunch of times.

In May when I was down in Florida I saw someone wearing a Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff shirt at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando. I tried to shout "Sweet Shirt, Bro!" but he didn't hear me. Embarassing!

Up here in Philly, I've seen someone who I swear was wearing a Tavros shirt (but by the time I realized it I had already passed him by, didn't see him again) and, of course, there was a DOUBLE REACHAROUND sighting when a cool dude wearing a long sleeve Dave shirt (in a car, at a stoplight) saw me wearing my Tavros shirt and called out "Tavros!" to me! IT WAS LIKE... A MIRACLE.

So basically what I am saying is this needs to happen more often!

So awesome!
It does indeed need to happen more often and the obvious solution to this is for us to wear MSPA shirts every single day whenever we go anywhere that there is a chance of seeing anybody else.

Yes, I agree. We all obviously need to throw out all apparel that is unrelated to MSPA and immediately replace it with things from the store. That will make everything infinitely easier. Make your entire wardrobe into uniforms.

I would do that in a heartbeat if it wasn't completely ridiculous and if I had the money.

Today I went to a big and cool anime convention. I found a group of Homestuck fans, breaking my previous statement of thinking they're barely inexistant here.

Terezi, Aradia, Sollux, Feferi, Gamzee, and later I got into a giant Q-Tip/Cotton Swab/Cotton Bud/Cotonete/Whatever fight with EQUIUS.

My life is now complete.

Amazing that other brazilians know homestuck, I really didn't expect finding these guys here (i was in a hurry and unfortunately didn't talk to them, sorry guys!)

[~ATH]

My friend wears a becquerel shirt almost all the time. he got me in MSPA, btw.

[SupBro]

I'm cosplaying, for the first time, without a group at a con later this month. I'm incredibly nervous about it. I really hope I find a lot of fans, it's a big con and I'd love to meet some new people.

[Buse]

Yes, I went to Anime Friends today(09/07). And that is the Equius I cotton-fought. There was no John, Karkat or Nepeta, though.

If you went day 9, I was the dude with the top hat and the suit. And the occasional skull mask.

...Were you with a guy cosplaying as Ness?

[Buse]

Yep, that's me.

[Syniphas]

Yep, that's me.

I hung out with you guys for a while. You're friends with a friend who dragged me into that con. I was the guy with long black/bluish hair with glasses and a Mario cap.

Ahaha, exactly!

I was at my friend's house with some friends of hers I had never met before (I know her from boarding school, shit like that happens a lot). We were talking about favorite numbers when I said 413. One of the other girls just said "Homestuck?!" and I told her yes. We proceeded to squee like little fangirls and discussed the latest update together.

THat's not a bad Equius right there.

[michi]

I've never spied a fan outside a convention or bunny meet-up either! Not that I leave the house much these days, having turned into a studying hermit crab and all.

Once, out to coffee with Andrew a few years back, he had on a green slime shirt. The cashier remarked on what a cool shirt it was. Andrew just humbly directed him to the topatoco website.

PS @quietus, your name is one of my favorite legal words!

[kholhaus]

That equius looks suspiciously like Nic Cage.

[supalime]

I think he looks a bit more like Tommy Wiseau.

[AProcrastinatingWriter]

Nic Cage looks suspiciously like that equius.

Fixed that for you.

I guess this is the place to post this:

So for the summer I have a job working in one of my university's chemistry labs. Yesterday, while looking something up on the lab computer, I discovered MSPA in the browsing history. Turns out the other person working in my lab is a huge Homestuck fan and was checking for updates. For the rest of the day we talked about the recent updates and had some of the homestuck albums playing as background music while we worked. My job just got a lot more awesome.

[bookworm773]

I may have spotted some fans while waiting in line for Harry Potter. I was talking about some of the recent updates to a friend of mine who I got interested in Homestuck, and someone behind me kept saying she hated how something was being ruined for her and then she plugged her ears and started "lala"ing. I was hoping it was a fan, but was too shy to ask.

I did see, however, not a fan, but a spitting image of Dave. I mean right down to the shades. He wasn't wearing the right shirt, though. But man, it was so perfect! I was working at a farmers market stall and he came up and I convinced him to buy some blackcurrant strawberry jam, all the while trying to to grin and ask him how Rose was doing.

I didn't spot this guy because of a shirt, but because of d&d. Another forumite and I got together at her dad's place to play Dungeon's and Dragons with some other dudes. One of the guys was a DM for another game and was talking about the game he was running when he mentioned trolls. He said something along the lines of: "they're pretty damn hard to kill, too bad they don't just die like other types. It would be easier on the group." Then he turned to the other reader and I and said, "But you probably wouldn't know about that? You wouldn't know about Homestuck." My friend and I looked at each other and then teased him for being stupid because I was scrawling Karkat all over my character sheet and then there was a rant about hipsters or something. IDK.

MORAL OF THE STORY BROS WHO PLAY D&D READ HOMESTUCK TOO.

[supalime]

My DM said he didn't like Homestuck. Meanie.

[CheeseDeluxe]

Nobody around me has even heard of Homestuck or Problem Sleuth. At best, "I've heard of it." At worst, "OKAY, I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT YOUR FETISHES."

What.

Where do you people live? I wanna hang with you guys instead. :<
