Glad you enjoyed it! And no, I didn't intend for that reference-- I have another project that's on the backburner (because yes, the main character sitting on too many projects is in fact based on real life haha) involving a character who's meant to be a Sonic-the-Hedgehog-like, and they're named Tempest-- was basically just a fun happenstance given I figured it would be fun to have the main character be a fandom nerd.
(Though, given Homestuck and webcomics in general were a major part of my formative years I'd say it's a pretty funny coincidence)
