Serving them Nothing then Serving Lies about not having been the culprit, sounds petty alright. Alternatively, they would be the Cook and not the Waiter/Waitress, and prepare Friend Horrorterror Tentacles to literally Serve Void to the clients.
I’d imagine a Prince getting captured or kidnapped all the time because they’re quick to rush in and mess up constantly, while the Bard would kind of just stand there while they’re being dragged off, shrugging.
That’s way too broad without a Class. As the Canon Quiz implies, Rage is tied to Chaos, Anarchy and Violence. There’s a lot of ‘Storm’ references in the Sign of the X thing for the Extended Zodiac too, so it implies its ties to turbulent times and weird stuff like that as well. But as for Powers in themselves, I don’t know? It’d depend on the Rage Player.
Thank you very much!! I don’t intend on stopping any time soon. :p
It’s the Quiz’s Questions- I don’t want to shit on it, specially given it’s helped some people find their Aspect and more about themselves, but a Quiz is still a Quiz. You’d need a much more personal and in-depth analysis to tell your true Aspect, which means you’re the one calling the shots here! In the Quiz, it puts a rather heavy amount of importance to the Lone Hero kind of deal for a Breath Player, but we even see canonically, while still seen as the Protagonist, John tries to be part of an ensemble of Heroes rather than the Heroic Leader or anything. This is a good canonical show that, yeah, Breath Players may be predisposed to Leadership and Heroicism, but it doesn’t mean they even do it consciously or want to keep that position. So the question in the Quiz is already, inherently biased to Breath Players who do find attachment to Leadership, rather than the other parts of Breath, like Detachment or actual Wind.
I got Time and Rage on the Quiz, but Doom heavily resonated with me, so I’m Doom. Similarly, a friend got Heart but likes Void more, so she’s Void. It’s all up to you in the end, specially having descriptions about how Aspects relate to bits of Personalities now, you can get a broader idea of what you are from what you know about yourself, rather than taking a silly test.
But what if they serve everything through literal platters, just like, they open something and there’s a delicious meal but the person says they don’t like that. So the Knight closes the platter and opens it again and it’s something different and they’re just like. You get food, and you get food, everyone gets food, I’m a one-man restaurant mofos.
Also for a Star to be Miniature and still glow with enough intensity to do that it would most likely have to remain its Mass, just compressed really small. Which would likely make it collapse into a Black Hole.
Given Spiderman’s Spidey Sense kind of gives him anxiety about minor things and doesn’t alert him until things have crept right up behind him, sometimes to the point other people would’ve already noticed the danger, sounds about right.
People like Rose have shown to express other Aspects entirely than the ones they’re bound to, and Calliope herself mentions it, people reluctant to answer the call of their Aspect, or corrupted by outside forces, may actually appear bound to another Aspect, even if it’s unhealthy or temporary. Furthermore, one of my biggest theories to come out of Hiveswap’s Extended Zodiac, is that each Caste is ‘bound’ so to say, either socially by expectations or because it really does run in the blood, to a specific Aspect- Matching the Trolls we know from Homestuck. Time for Rust, Breath for Bronze, and so on. Everyone individually is bound to their own Aspect, but just for being from that Caste, there’s a shown affinity towards the True Sign’s Aspect.
I have literally not watched a single Marvel or DC Movie and all I know about Superheroes is Tumblr Memes so I’ll take your word for it.
Pffft, yes please.
Being irrelevant can be a burden, but when you know to exploit your own irrelevance? Then things start to get spicy.
I’ve already talked about the Sylph of Light in the past! As for the ties between Light and Speed, I get what you’re going for, Light Speed, and… It depends? Doesn’t seem directly linked, Breath as Motion and Space would most definitely tie to Speed more directly, but… If you don’t mind all of your Speed coming from maybe Changing yourself into Photons or Making yourself into Light, there could be something there with some Classes.
That’s quite the intriguing take on it, and could definitely work. Xefros, being in an unhappy place with his life, shows a lot of traits relating to Time, and as I’ve said before, Rose and Void are closely tied in the beginning, so I could see that. Then again, as I’ve said before, you know, Quizzes aren’t Word of God. Only Hussie can do that, directly. Lucky WhatPumpkin Employees, getting Classpected by the Huss directly and all.
Oooh. The issue here is that Breath represents a bunch of things, but paired with a Class, a Prince of Breath or an X of Y doesn’t… Necessarily represent anything. Aspect is the ‘What’, Class is the ‘How’, together they determine what the full God Tier does, but there’s the issue- Princes Destroy, Reduce, Lessen. Breath is Motion, Freedom, Detachment, Wind, Heroic Leadership, the Plot. They’re both, also, more than just that, it’s already hard to tell what a Class and what an Aspect individually do, there’s absolutely no way to say what a Classpect would ‘represent’ without knowing who this Prince of Breath is.
One can Destroy Freedom and be evil, or they could Destroy the enemies’ Freedom and be good. They could Destroy Breath and suffocate others, or they could Destroy Breath by being an amazing kisser, leaving them breathless. They could Destroy the Plot and bring it to a halt for their own purposes, or they could Destroy Motion and literally bring things to a halt. They could Destroy THROUGH Wind and make violent storms, or Destroy THROUGH Leadership and use their influence to bring others to their knees. As long as you can tangentially make a case for why it’d fit the Class and the Aspect, you can most definitely fit a power or a role on a Classpect combo. So when you ask ‘What does the Prince of Breath represent’, I can’t give a straight answer. I give pointers to give a general idea, when it comes to Class Personalities, when it comes to Aspect powers, but at the end of the day, Humans are Humans and they cannot be reduced to 14 Personality Classes and 12 Aspect Affinities if they’re too strict, meaning that the leeway Classes and Aspects have about what they represent, make each Classpect a world of their own impossible to know without further context on who the person itself is, or what their world is like.
Not a Mage, but we do have a Knight of Mind who uses her Rad Persona to try and look more chill than she actually is, so I could see a Mage doing that as well, specially given they’d have a better knowledge of how to actually pull of a good Persona as the situation requires.
sake of others and that they don’t think differently of me, my self esteem tends to be quite low and I’m reserved but once I open up or want to open up I’m just positivity, creativity and compassion, but I almost never talk about anything negative going on with me unless it really gets to me. for my friends I’m the listener, the one who you can count on for creative inspiration and to make you feel better when you’re down (2/2)
oh same anon, I’d describe myself as a mix of realistic and optimistic. I’m the type who if you ask is the glass half full or half empty I’d say “it’s full because half is water and half is air” lollll
Sounds like a Sylph or a Maid of Space to me! Check the Sylph and Muse descriptions and maybe see if you resonate more with those?
Well, it may come down to whether you focus heavily on the ‘Self’ or not. The Canon Quiz equates Heartbound Characters with quite heavily tied to the Self, so introspection, self-interests or just the nature of people and what makes them ‘them’ are good candidates to see if you lean more towards one or the other.
That’s hard to say, because ‘Possession’ comes in many flavors. A Thief may Possess directly and a Rogue swap bodies, or vice versa. Heir/Witch may be more oriented towards Shapeshifting. If it’s straight up bodily possession, the Thief/Rogue pair seem like the most likely candidates, but I bet you could make a case for every single Class combo.
Sounds good, the Red Miles are very Blood-y, a Prince, a Bard, and perhaps a Knight and a Page could pull something like that off.
Sylphs can kick some fucking ass easily.
Creepy but, yep I could see that. They’d also be able to see someone’s true self beyond lies, personas and facades.
Have you read any part of Homestuck with Kanaya in it? What a babe. Or what Aranea did to Jake? Sylphs are part of the Creator Pair. Sure, they Heal- But they also Improve, Increase and Make. Creation is within their realm, they Make people do things and Make things themselves, buff others and themselves for combat, and have generally proven to be able to fuck shit up when they need to.
Again, the Class and the Aspect do interact in specific ways, but you can not get an Aspect and actually be its complementary because of your Class. This is a misconception on how the Aspects work, you can argue with some that if your destroy one, like, Light, what’s left behind is Void, but this is not true of all of them, and it’s definitely not true of Aspect Alignment.
Being a player of a certain Aspect has its own bunch of traits- Heart for example, like the Canon Quiz talks about, is heavily centred around the Self. If you’re a Prince of Heart, yeah you destroy Heart- But you’re still centred around the Self. You may be able to equate a Maid of Void to a Prince of Light when it comes to powers, and not even 100%, but I can see that equivalency, but a Maid of Void would be a Void player and a Prince of Light would be a Light Player, which have entirely different traits and affinities.
If you don’t like Heart, but you’re a Prince, it doesn’t mean you’re Mind- Read the descriptions of all of the Aspect-bound personalities and see which one fits you the best, no Quizzes.
Honestly? It’s hard to tell, at times it seems like everyone is prime to get murdered at any moment, like… Rusts are cannon fodder, plain and simple, and Bronzes are likely not much better off.
Golds seem to have a little bit more leeway, but if they’re good with Psiionics they’re just going to be used as tools for Highblood Ships.
Limes have been hunted to extinction, or will be hunted after the events of Hiveswap, they’re also prime for the murdering.
Olives may be the first caste that’s a bit more free of societal murdering, but we still see Olive blood on Chahut’s pants. Jades seem to be slightly spared, but the Grand Highblood did have Jade blood on his wall. They’re rare and caretakers of the Mother Grub, so maybe some Trolls don’t want to kill them for that, or maybe they are just not common enough seeing around to actually go on a murder spree.
Teals are the first level of Highblood in the Hemospectrum if we divide right by the middle- More considered a Midblood, but on the high-end of things. Along with Cerulean, they may be the first ones to actually start living without that much fear of being murdered (Remember Amisia may use Grubs for paint, not actual Teen Trolls, so the Teal may not be from a Troll).
That being said? Here’s when things get complex because FLARPing seems to be a rather popular thing everything from Lowbloods to Violets partake in, and even if it wasn’t socially acceptable to kill someone Teal-Cerulean-Indigo, when it comes to FLARP and losing FLARP, it seems anything is valid, as long as they adhere to the rules of the game, which already seem to highly benefit higher bloods.
Indigos are Aristocrats and Purples are a big part of what keeps the Lowbloods in check, so if there’s any Bloods that may be more free from the dangers of being killed, it would be these two. But then there’s also Violets, Nobility and Royalty, which are higher and from an entirely different sub-species, Seadwellers, which gives the perfect grounds for a Violet with a grudge against Landwellers to kill a Purple or Indigo, as well as a reason for an Indigo or Purple to kill a Violet on the grounds of Fish Racism.
In the end, not even Fuchsias are spared, since they’re to live their lives threatened that the current Empress may come back at any moment when they are considered too influential and murdered on the spot.
There’s literally no safe Caste on Alternia.
Void isn’t really that much about negativity and bad thoughts, I’d imagine this would work better as either a Rage or a Doom Player.
They’re a Bard of Void, also, they’re ‘Destroying Void’ by filling every small empty space and hole with their presence, letting them just pop out from virtually any crevice they find. Drr… Drr…
Does that mean other people are shoving Adulthood in your face while you try to be in denial of the fact so you don’t get crushed under the responsibility?
#Relatable.
They’re implied to be Jujus, and we honestly don’t even know if they’re actually two different Rings. Much like other Jujus, they’re… Mysterious bullshit, without a certain beginning and end. There can only exist an instance of them within a Multiversal Chain in the same Timeline, and otherwise are doomed to be Destroyed or simply Disappear when they’re passed on to a new person. So, could another Session have them? Yeah, like the Sucker or the Treasure, I guess. But you’d be likely fucking with the Canon Timeline unless your Fansession is however the FUCK the Ring got to Hussie in the first place.
Look, I love the ways Homestuck breaks the Fourth Wall and the Meta behind a lot of things, but sometimes I’m still surprised the Ring of Life’s first appearance was Hussie himself delivering it to a character in his own story. That poor Fourth Wall and Fifth Wall has suffered so much abuse.
Yep. The Ring is still a mysterious thing to me, namely because the Caliborn that becomes Lord English is actually wearing it, and I can not tell if it implies that Caliborn is from an alternate Timeline to our Caliborn, or if Calliope is going to lose it eventually.
Awwww thank you, it’s always encouraging to see these messasges! :D
Not at all, nor even show their powers like Calliope does. I mean you don’t even need to go extra-canonical here, we have Calliope, and Alt! Calliope, and they act nothing alike. But they’re both Muses of Space and they both show their powers in different ways.
Angels are definitely Hope-coded, sadly though I am not sure we even have enough context about them to know what their Role may be because as I’ve mentioned in the past, they seem sort of like Hope Elementals, and as far as I can tell, we don’t see Elementals of any other Aspect within the comic. I could be wrong though, and this is a thing I would love exploring more of. Chances are your Fan Planet will have to be Hope-Coded, unless you had like, a Land with all the Aspects and just elementals of each of them.
Ooooh, definitely if it’s something Eldritch and Dark, I could see mind-readers gazing right into the Horrorterrors through the mind of a Seer/Mage of Void. Hell, they may even go Grimdark just from exposure to them. And Rage Players don’t even need to be that full of Rage- Rage is Chaos, Disorder and Anarchy, I could see a mind reader just. Being unable to tell ANYTHING apart from a Rage Player’s Mind because they literally cannot navigate their thoughts coherently.
I mean, don’t think of it in Jane terms, Jane has her own interpretation of the Maid of Life. A Buffing Sylph of Life could assist the group to Make and Improve Agency, letting them go through with their plans by holding back the enemy, or ensuring they can pull off whatever tactic they’re trying to. They could also Buff Life as in, accelerate the body’s natural healing capabilities, or enhancing biological functions to strengthen themselves and others. Never say ‘X would be the worst’, you never know when you will be facing against one of them. ;p
Most definitely, there’s no such a thing as ‘random’ for a Witch of Light, outcomes would be easily manipulable.
Oooh, fair enough.
No pls, I’m not down with the Clown.
Destroying, Reducing Light, could likely make them Blind people or shut off the lights in an area, casting it in complete darkness. Alternatively, Destroying Through Light means they’d likely have lasers of some sort and light beams. Destroying Truth and Information could make them good at obscuring bits of info and lying to others, and Destroying Fate could imply a propensity towards not following the Alpha Timeline and dooming things easily. Prince of Light sounds like a really versatile combo, there’s a ton of ways these things could go, huh.
I mean there are a bunch that could fit that bill, buuuut… Maybe a Prince/Bard of Hope? Merely because of the thought of destroying one’s hopes, it always seems like something associated to like, a relentless monster chasing you down and inducing fear, that you know you cannot kill and just keeps getting closer and closer.
A Seer of Doom would fit that much better- This is one of these cases where people assume the opposite must be true with a complementary Aspect. Light shows the Alpha, Fated, Proper Way, but that doesn’t mean because of that, Void must show the Improper, Bad Way. Rather, they’d know information Irrelevant to the Alphaness of the Timeline, not necessarily anything ‘bad’ or ‘good’ but just things that don’t influence it. Now a Seer of Doom? They’d be able to know what would make people and Timelines ‘doomed’.
Definitely, a Witch or Heir of Light bending photons to appear invisible, a Rogue or Thief of Light to Steal the vision of themselves and be rendered invisible, a Prince or Bard of Light destroying the perception of their bodies… That being said, Heir/Witch seem the most likely, bending light, as ‘Destroying’ or ‘Stealing’ Light could potentially leave a black person-shaped void where you are, rendering the power useless. But I’m sure all of them could do it in some way.
Taking advantage of Terezi’s rage towards Vriska to get a free pass and get the two into a stalemate where one of the two has to Die is most definitely something the Bard of Rage influenced for sure.
Hmm, let me see! Heir of Life, they would be influenced and influence others, through Life, which makes it likely they’d be from an influential or rich family/status. Jane is actually forced into the role of a Heir for quite a long time in the comic, with a Thief of Life stealing her Agency and trying to Change her into someone that would one day Inherit Condy’s empire.
Power-Wise though, the ability to manipulate Life, we see the Witch of Life healing, so the Heir would likely be able to Heal as well. Manipulating Life also sounds like the ability to have animals or plants come to your aid, Changing Nature Itself for a purpose. They may struggle with people trying to force them to do things, but they may be bound to free themselves and assume a rather important position of power. And as I’ve talked before, if Heirs can change themselves like John does with the windy thing, a Life Heir may… I don’t know, either maybe regenerate and infuse their bodies with Life, or maybe like, poof into animals, like you’d imagine a Vampire poofing into bats.
This is literally something Aranea actually pulls off- She increases Jake’s relevancy in the story and forces his Hopey Potential out, forcing the whole scenario for Game Over, and her plan is to make the GO! Timeline so Relevant it overwrites the Alpha Timeline and ensures LE isn’t ever born. Which, of course, fails.
Nope, Vantablack is still like, 99.9-something%, Stealing the Light fully would make it like a true Black Hole, just completely devoid of a single trace of light.
I mean, you could Argue maybe you could develop weaponry with the Alchemiters that emulate Classpect Powers, not sure how naturally the powers would come to people though- Classes are what they are most comfortable with. The Seer-Mage-Heir-Witch quartet is the most flexible and interchangeable, but even then the issue is that being forced to do things other Classes do may come with a price for the God Tier. If anything, I would say if you want to have full Control over an Aspect, being a straight-up Lord/Muse is your best bet.
Aspects don’t have Opposites, they have Complementaries, so they would definitely not cancel each other. We actually see Void and Light interacting in Collide, and they only play off of each other and amplify each other nicely. Fraymotifs are just combo attacks, though, the whole music theme is because a lot of Homestuck itself is music and theatre themed, like. A lot of the Quests and Tools and the Scratch Constructs, are related to Music in some way or other. They’re cool abilities, but they’re just kind of that, combo abilities.
Destroying through Void and Destroying a Void, sounds appropriate enough. Black Holes do seem Voidy and Destructive enough, and we do know that ‘removing nonexistence’ definitely works to summon items. Maybe to make it different from Roxy’s, you could have them literally filling an empty space, like, being able to fill in the shape of something- Effectively lockpicking any and all locks by destroying the void inside the keyhole with material and turning it, or filling in silhouettes of any kind.
A Muse or a Seer/Mage sound like the most likely candidates. A Seer or Mage may offer advice and try to change others through their knowledge of Emotions, without outright ‘changing’ anything, but still leading up to a change, while the Muse could inspire emotions in others and be rather empathetic.
I really, really wish I was able to get every reference you guys sent my way without needing to Google up more stuff. I need to catch up on my Pop Culture.
