Artifact found in glovebox. Circa 2000 AD, Late American petro-empire civilization. perhaps used in religious rituals

The cult, believed to be founded in the early 21st century based on dating of artifacts, has a name that seems to translate roughly as "House Trapped." It is believed that they were some form of largely internet-dwelling recluses (this was during the earliest days of the internet), though there is archeological evidence that, during their peak, they were known to meet in large costumed groups known as "cosplayers." They worshipped a large pantheon of gods whose mythology was recorded in a large online religious text that had already deteriorated from its original state within approximately a decade into its founding. Today, little is known about the "House Trapped" cult, but it is believed to have been influential upon the large-scale development of the early Internet Age.

my hot take about homestuck is that describing the plot is incredibly easy (several others have done this, so i won’t on this post), it’s the STRUCTURE of homestuck that’s impossible to explain simply

and THATS why homestuck references are the most batshit confusing things ever. because they aren’t about the fairly simple plot, theyre about the weird amalgamation of computer coding, chess, billards, zodiacs, fucking LUCKY CHARMS, etc that make up the building blocks of the background elements that barely have anything to do with the core plot

it’s one thing to say homestuck is about 4 friends that play a game at the end of the world to try and design a new world, it’s another to explain why betty crocker is a pisces alien fish dictator that takes the place of the black queen in the third intergalactic chess game of the series

regardless of how you feel about homestuck you do have to admit that the story concluding with almost all of the major characters literally deciding to just say fuck it and abandon the story entirely is like. an absolutely iconic narrative decision. you know what i'm not doing this shit anymore. figure it out. bye.
