Baffled-Jailbird

Alright, so I've been soldiering my way through homestuck, and so far I just don't get why everyone is so excited about it. Admittedly I'm only in Act II of the game, so I'm not very far in. But I still don't get it... I mean.... Where are the people with the orange horns? What is going on? I mean, more than anything this seems like a choose your own adventure game without much of a plot. How did the hard core fans manage to get so far into the game without their heads exploding? I'm finding that I hardly care to read the captions anymore, and the artwork makes my head hurt. So far I can find nothing that I personally like about this game.
Please explain to me why this thing is so popular?

I have projects to do... And I am on all useless social networks, plus the ever awesome DA. I'm f*cked.

I am a super passionate Doctor Who fan now, and nothing is stopping it. I shall only fuel the madness with more Doctor Who. Always.

I have been noticing more and more that when people think of me, they immediately associate me with anime, and I'm starting to truly resent it. So I've decided that my reputation is going to start taking a different turn. Obviously anime and manga are a part of my passions, but I would truly like others to look past this facet of me into the general idea. The big picture here is the art; the colors, the shapes, the characters, the messages. I originally started liking anime as a kid because I truly appreciated the art style and that inspired me to start developing a more mature art style of my own. I am always inspired by the bright colors, the immaculate details in the drawing while remaining simplistic. I understand that not all anime has the same attention to detail to speak of, but those that do... Well, they speak for themselves. I am an artistic person by nature. I love any facet of art: drawing, photography, fashion, painting, writing, acting, etc. Anything in the world of art is the world I thrive in. Anime is just a small part of the artistic world I inhabit. Please stop associating me with an image of a cute anime girl with overly large watery blue eyes and start thinking of me as the artist and person that I am. For once, I don't want to be called "the anime freak", I want to be called "the artist".

I have 199 llama badges... Will my super llama become even more super after 200? I wonder...
