"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Ben San, that would make sense if the pic were only a few days old, but it was posted nearly a year ago and it's gotten steady traffic for a year. It's over 2k views now. Of course, for the past week or so most of the traffic has come from this board, but that's only a small portion of the total.

Then it's probably out into the Homestuck community at large. I'm not involved in the fan community at this point, but a lot of it is over tumblr, which means that archives aggregating links or images of a particular interest are relatively common (since the sources of interest don't inherently archive or aggregate in a meaningful way). If there's such an archive for, say, people costumed as that character (I think it's supposed to be Karkat), you'd get a steady flow of views from people looking for Karkat costume pics.

That's just speculation, though; I was only ever tangentially involved with that particular community to begin with.

I appreciate the help. I definitely did not know about Homestuck. Actually that's not true, I've been to that page before, on more than one occasion actually, linked from here, but I was never able to get past the first page before boredom set in and I left.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.
