History
Gabestuck is a parody of Homestuck by Andrew Hussie, made to be about Gaboza and his friends. An original version of Gabestuck was made in August 2017. For seven years afterward, jokes would always come from a friend of Gaboza's, Jakob, asking when Gabestuck would continue.
One day, in 2024, when the friends were at an arcade, Jakob was playing a plinko game. When Jakob yet again asked if Gabestuck would be made, Gaboza replied that if Jakob got a jackpot on his first try, Gaboza would made Act 1. To both friends' surprises, Jakob actually made the jackpot, and Gaboza kept his word, but couldn't promise the comic would be made in a timely manner.
Gabestuck (Act 1) would eventually be released on May 29, 2026 for Jakob's birthday, almost 9 years after the first page of the comic's original iteration was made. There are no plans for any future Gabestuck pages to be made, and Gaboza has even stated he would refrain from putting more Gabestuck on a bet, unlikely as they may seem.
When making the new Gabestuck, Gaboza tried to adhere best to how he was at the age of 13, usually by means of excessive swearing and moodiness.

Plot
I would be remiss to summarize the plot of my Homestuck parody, which basically copies the plot 1:1 with very few changes, without actually telling you to read Homestuck; which you can do by clicking this link.
The first page of Gabestuck (2017).
In Gabestuck, Gabe reveres his comic, The Cool Kids, despite Gabestuck taking place in 2016 and The Cool Kids being created in 2018.
Additionally, Gabe's in-comic reverence of The Cool Kids is a reference to how Jakob, the friend that Gabestuck was made for, has a tendency to jokingly refer to the former story as "peak".
[S] Gabe: Take bite of apple is the third Homestuck-style [S] animation Gaboza has done; the other two being [S] Concede and [S] Clash, featured in In Your Imagination! (Remake).
In Gabestuck, Gabe makes references to two different movies in his Skype dialogue: the first being "it wasn't from a lack of trying..." from Kill Bill, and the second, "b-e-a-utiful" being a catchphrase of Jim Carrey's character in Bruce Almighty.
