I got recommended your blog for classpecting stuff and gods I think you have one of the most coherent guides I've ever seen that isn't so tightly bound to what's been "considered canon".
Yeah to me there’s different type of canon. Like, I keep coming back to Calliope’s theorycrafting in Act 6 because in some ways I think that’s what established a lot of the framework that makes classpect just…….. less functional. Calliope canonically believes all that stuff, but Calliope also is working on limited information and is extrapolating. She is the first person in the comic to try and give the classes these specific translations and they aren’t commented on by anyone else. There’s no corroboration. And she is the metatextual avatar for fan speculation and fan creation. I rag on her theorycraft a lot but lemme be clear: I adore Calliope.
To me, the reason I focus on character’s actions is because that’s a better indicator of what their classpect is. What do they do with it? What do they say about it (which informs their view of it)? That’s the meat of the topic to me. But I treat everyone in whomstve as an unreliable narrator, especially in act 6 where Everyone Is Lying Oh My God Y'all.
