Homestuck

Homestuck is an Internet fiction multimedia series created by American author and artist Andrew Hussie. The fourth and best-known of Hussie's four MS Paint Adventures, it originally ran from April 13, 2009, to April 13, 2016. Though normally described as a webcomic, and partly constituted by a series of single panel pages, Homestuck also relies heavily on Flash animations and instant message logs to convey its story, along with the occasional use of browser games. Homestuck's plot begins with a group of teens who seemingly trigger the destruction of Earth by installing the beta version of an upcoming PC game, Sburb. The teens soon come into contact with a group of Internet trolls who are revealed to be horned aliens, and these trolls work with the teens to create a new universe by completing the game. It is renowned for its complex and nonlinear narrative, considerable length at over 8,000 pages and 800,000 words, and intensely devoted fan community. Homestuck's success has resulted in numerous related projects and sequels, including the Hiveswap series of adventure games. On August 9, 2025, an animated web series pilot adaptation was announced by Vivienne Medrano's company SpindleRoo, an Australian division of SpindleHorse, with Skye Henwood as director and writer. Released on September 27, 2025, the pilot stars Toby Fox, Cherami Leigh, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Adam McArthur, Chris O'Neill, and Brandon Winckler.
