What is this?

So, with all of that being said,

How can I create a story that is meaningful to me out of content that already exists?

My goal with this portfolio is to explore how I can grow my own story out of something I care about a lot, that being Homestuck. Homestuck impacted some of the communities I'm in, projects I've made, and clearly, my art. It means a lot to me as corny as that is to say. I want to see what I can make out of pre-existing ideas and how I can change them into something better suited for the story I want to tell. Imitation is a form of flattery, after all. I care deeply about the community that engages with homestuck and the mindset of "anything goes." Anything and everything is canon, after all, there are an infinite number of timelines and possibilities and realities, and I think that's beautiful.
