The 'Homestuck Alternate Universe' or 'X-Stuck' naming convention emerged from the massive fandom of Andrew Hussie's webcomic, Homestuck. Fans began creating their own timelines and scenarios, labeling them by adding the '-stuck' suffix to a descriptive prefix, such as 'Sadstuck', 'Highschoolstuck', or 'Marchstuck'. This naming convention became a cornerstone of internet fan culture, allowing creators to instantly communicate the theme of their derivative work. In the meme world, X-Stuck templates are used to place characters in absurd new contexts or to mock the ubiquity of these tropes, blending nostalgia with the chaotic energy of the original comic's experimental narrative style.
