Just had a horrifying though: a Rogue of Breath stealing the breath from the air and forcing it into people's lungs until they explode

Ouch. I mean you’re not wrong but, ouch. God Tier powers can be pretty terrifying yeah. Maids and Sylphs may be able to do that too by ‘Making’ more Air.

So mages don't have the flashiest powers, but with what they know about their aspect could they find loopholes and use them to become stronger?

Hmm, that’s a good point, not only about Mages but also about Seers, finding ways to power themselves or others up could be a worthwhile use of their powers. Mages however, can have quite flashy powers too! The fact Seers and Mages ‘know’ doesn’t mean that’s ALL they do, as I’ve said before, Aspects themselves seem to imbue some people with straight up majyyks they can cast, like Rose with her light beams (More voidy back during the Session). But yes, finding ways to power themselves up and cheat the game could be a think Mages do.

Can a knight of breath, if he so choses, uses his abilities to be an airbender?

I feel a Witch or Heir of Breath would Airbend more naturally than a Knight, but I wouldn’t put it past a Knight’s abilities to Airbend!

About the knight of breath ask, do you think a sylph could airbend too? In any way?

Well, ‘Making’ air currents definitely sounds like it could be Airbending too. Really, maybe all Breath players get windy Airbending.

Do you think a knight of mind could create literal mind weapons (Like swords and maces and stuff) that would start to become weaker or disappear entirely if their mental fortitude weakens?

Projecting mental weapons sounds like a thing they could make! Weaponizing Thoughtforms, what a terrifying power.

Horrifying God Tier Thoughts: Prince of Blood killing his opponents by causing their blood to force itself out of their bodies

I see that and one-up you a Prince of Blood literally boiling their opponents’ blood from within their veins.

Horrifying God Tier Thoughts: A Bard of Mind causing a sort of glitch in your mind that slowly eats away at your consciousness and before you even realize it you're brain dead

Jesus these are getting dark. Even more horrifying God Tier Thoughts: The way for the Bard of Mind’s power to start having effect is for their Codpiece to gently poke you on the head.

Horrifying God Tier Thoughts: Thief of Blood sucking all the blood from your body through every orifice until you're a shriveled husk

Or less dramatically, a Thief of Blood is just a Vampire.

prince of light making everyone forget they ever knew you, including your parents and all of your closest friends, and making them forget all of the memories and good times that you had together, thus making you completely irrelevant to everyone. you wanna talk real damage?

Yowch. Destroying someone’s relevancy and leaving them behind is painful, but I would see the memory erasing more related to either Blood or Mind.

Horrifyingly God Tier Thoughts: a rogue of time messing up the timeline so bad, rearranging and switching times and inserting tidbits of doomed timelines and creating so many buffer zones that no one even understands what going on anymore

Horrifying? That sounds pretty much like a totally normal SBURB Session.

God tier thoughts: A heir of space managing to replace their Genesis frog as the embodiment of the universe

“Ya guys usually the Frog is a Universe, but this time our planet is somewhere around Jimmy’s left thigh.”

God tier thoughts: A Thief of Heart stealing your soul before possessing your body?

Sounds Thiefy enough alright. 

Heart is a freaky aspect tbh, there's so many ways powers based entirely around souls and sense of self could be used for messed-up shit. Imagine a Witch brainwashing someone by manipulating their soul, or a Thief or Rogue stealing part of your personality, or a Prince just deadass ripping it out and destroying it.

Yep, I mean we see Dirk literally doing exactly that to Aranea, except it was Brain Ghost Dirk and he was juuuust slightly short of ripping Aranea’s Soul out. It wasn’t pretty to watch.

Is it possible for a mind player’s greatest obstacle to be their emotions and pity?

I mean, yeah? I don’t think Aspects exactly limit what one’s biggest flaw may be.

A Prince of Breath abilities being able to suffocate people, or would it be more creating tornadoes and other destructive wind storms?

Don’t see why not both.

God tier thoughts: a seer always having deja-vu and remembering their prophecies too late? Or a seer using their abilities to cheat in board games?

I’m certain the latter was both Terezi and Rose during the Meteor Trip. It was impossible to play against them. Deja-vu could work well for a Mage too, I like that.

Horrific God Tier Thoughts: Lord of Space vs Lord of Time vs Lord of Hope s Lord of Rage

Why do you want to see people suffer so much.

So, as far as I know, seers suffer from their aspect, too. Just not as bad as mages. Maybe, a seer/mage of mind can be very self-destructive or with a mental illness? I really see them dying from their own poison

I think a Seer and a Mage’s suffering is intrinsic to the nature of their powers, I mean if you’re able to see outcomes or futures, you’re bound to see things you would’ve rather not have seen, or wonder if you could’ve prevented something you saw some way. Also we do see a Seer of Mind, and her poison is, indeed, regretting her Choices.

General ideas for a knight of space?

Serving and Weaponizing anything physical sounds rad honestly, I would see them using Jokerkind and equipping anything and everything they want, and being able to turn just about anything into a weapon- Basically MacGyver. Serving Space could also mean both giving others some time to themselves and leaving them alone to not be overbearing, or literally offering them EVERYTHING they posses. Likely both because if they’re pushing everything they have on others and giving away everything they have, I would need some Space too.

… Wait, Serving others Space? Giving them something physical? Offering everything to everyone? Talk about topical, we found Santa Claus’ Classpect.

Horrific God Tier Thoughts: A Maid of Void creating Void where certain body parts should be, basically severing your limbs

Yep, things like this are what make me consider changing my Fan Witch of Void to a Maid of Void.

Terrifying God Tier Thoughts: A Bard of Life causing cancer cells, and other bodily diseases to form in those in his vicinity

Jesus, I mean I could see that but God, why are y’all coming up with such Dark Uses for your God Tiers. Is it not enough to wear beige with a green codpiece? You also have to make others suffer so much?

Lord of Space, Lord of Heart and Muse of Mind vs Lord of Rage and Muse of Hope vs Lord of Void vs Lord of Light, Muse of Light and Muse of Void vs Lord of Doom and Lord of Time vs Muse of Time. This is an actual subplot for my fansession

Sounds like your Fan Session is FUCKED. Honestly the thought of a Lord of Void specially makes me kind of “nope”.

GTT: Seer of Space more or less having telescope vision and being able to navigate the furthest ring.

I honestly don’t know if the Seer of Space would be able to navigate the Furthest Ring since there technically is NO Space in the Furthest Ring. Goddamn Lousy Non-Euclidean Voids. I believe a Seer of Void would be more adequate. Zoom Vision is kind of a given for the Seer of Space, though, as well as Omnipresence, just being able to See anywhere.

How about /light/ god tier thoughts. What about a Sylph of Life, when fully mastered their abilities, can resurrect Dream Bubble ghosts regardless of if they have a physical body or not.

… You know you just raised an amazing Question, could Jane resurrect the Ghosts from the Bubbles if she just. Did her Lifey Thing onto a Soul?

My Last Horrific God Tier Thought for now: Prince of Time touching a person, causing their cells to age rapidly and slowly disintegrate them (larger enemies takes more time)

That sounds about right. There’s a bunch of God Tiers that could age and de-age huh.

Alternate SBURB Thought: Calliope loses her Ring of Life so Jane uses her powers to restore life back in her/make a new body (making life)

I mean, technically by what we see with Aranea, her eyes didn’t blank out until after Condy Snapped her neck, although she removed her ring and snapped her neck pretty much at the same time. But it would seem that the Ring just kind of brings someone back to life and doesn’t necessarily need to /stay/ on afterwards to keep them alive? It does keep regenerating them and healing them if they get wounded though. Callie’s pretty much wearing it at this point because she’s married to Roxy, of course.

As much as I would love that to be true I need to state these are just my silly thoughts and not actually confirmed canon, albeit the Snapd8 did have Roxy, Jane and Callie in an obvious Poly Relationship. God Bless WhatPumpkin.

What would a "rouge of life" abilities be

Stealing Life can be seen as killing someone, so it sounds like they may be able to Drain someone’s Life to heal others- Moira, think Moira from Overwatch. They’d also Steal Agency, likely taking down someone powerful or wealthy to empower those they’re supporting. They’d also be able to just yoink Pumpkins anywhere, because Pumpkins are plants and so they’d be Stealing Life, and as we know Pumpkins are the easiest things in the world to Steal.

yo, what kind of abilities would a Mage of Life have?

Knowing and Understanding Life sounds like they’d have an easy time with anatomical and biological knowledge of just about anything, I’d recommend being a Doctor. They may also be able to See Life, as in know distinctly between what’s Inanimate and what’s Alive, letting them spot Mimics and perhaps Feel how many living beings there are in the area? Could work well as a sort of radar to spot people through walls or find hidden enemies. Knowing Agency too, that’s weirder, having an understanding on what lets people do things, maybe then being able to just do anything they want because they know exactly what will allow things to happen or what will make people not stop them.

what would a Sylph of Void be able to do? Repairing nothingness, Repairing voids, so like... healing physical wounds? Healing gaps in knowledge or memory? Creating and harnessing a blackout like we see with Roxy or Rose?

Think bigger. They could definitely do that, but remember Roxy? She Removes the Lack. Someone who Improves the Lack and someone who Makes the Lack Better sounds like they could ambivalently make things disappear and appear at will. May want to stick with making things Disappear if you don’t want to have too much overlap with Roxy. Other than that though? Remember Void and Horrorterrors go hand in hand too. Healing through Dark Magics of the Horrorterrors could be fair game as well. Aside from that, they could likely, indeed, harness the Blackouts or rather, be able to obscure just about any piece of information. Oh hey, who was asking before for a Classpect able to make people forget your very existence? A Maid or Sylph of Void may be able to just erase every trace of you ever existing. 

any ideas for a sylph of mind?

A Sylph of Mind would’ve been a very nice Classpect to have after Mituna’s Accident, because I seriously would love to know what the hell happened to him. Healing psychological ailments and improving and increasing Choices, either by allowing their team to be able to do more than what they thought possible, or by enforcing and making what they chose be better somehow. Also Making Mind and Making Thoughts, they may be able to implant ideas in people and do telepathy stuff. Maybe even materialize things they think.

Stupid God Tier Powers Idea: Sylph of Mind literally making brains and tossing them at people. Not too effective but gross enough to keep everyone away.

continuing on the Sylph of Void talk... could they make a really powerful item disappear and then reappear somewhere else? like say... the black king's scepter? the black queen's ring? beat the dersite royalty without even having to battle them?

I would assume a their ability to make something disappear would have a limited range, which is to say, they’d likely have to engage the Black King regardless to Void that Scepter out in the first place.

A Rogue of Space could torment someone by stealing the mass of an object and adding it to that person until they're crushed. #ClasspectsInterrogating ?

Huh you know, I keep forgetting when talking about Space how it also relates to the Properties of Matter, that would definitely be an interesting use of those powers.

how do you think a seer of void would suffer from their aspect?

I mean I’m pretty sure a Seer of Void would be straight up blind to begin with. It’s also possible people don’t believe their prophecies. 

Eyyy, what do you think a knight of doom might be able to do?

I’ve already answered the Knight of Doom, BUT let me add a thing I thought about not long ago. I got a lot of people asking about how Doom would directly use their Aspect, like Breath with Wind and such, and I’ve been saying Lightning and maybe some Dark Mist or Poison or something like that, while also neglecting one of the most obvious things here. Fire. Tying in with the exhaustion of resources Doom represents, Burning Out, Extinguishing, Consuming. Fire is a great embodiment for Doom as an Aspect.

I was wondering how Karkat beat Clover in a fight ? Clover is the luckiest person/thing ever so how would have Karkat been able to do it? Getting beat in a fight isn’t ‘nuetral’ like getting whacked by a newspaper would be

Clover canonically enjoys bondage, for him getting tied up is a good outcome.

Wait a minute, Karkat besting Clover anon again,,, is that why Clover’s eyes were flashing the leprechaun romance symbols after Karkat beat him,,, does Clover have a crush on Karkat is what I’m now asking, also ???

Let’s be honest, Clover has a god damn crush on everything that moves, but yes, it’s implied that Clover has a crush on Karkat after the fight. Whether that’s because of the Bondage or for other reasons, it’s unclear.

Also I’m really not joking about the Bondage stuff. Remember the time he gagged himself on his bowtie and sent us a half-nude?

Truth be told, the Snapchat Updates were… Kind of horny weren’t they? It was the time Homestuck went Horny on Main. I mean.

I MEAN.

Classpects Interrogating: Prince of Mind forcibly extracting information from a person's mind?

I think a Prince of Mind would likely erase memories and information rather than extracting. Maybe a Rogue or Thief of Mind?

Do you think a fully awakened Maid of Mind could "create" a new path of choices and alter the Alpha Timeline in a way kind of similar to John's retcons?

That’s an interesting outlook, if someone ‘Makes’ new choices and creates outcomes, would they be able to extend a Doomed Timeline? I like the concept. Not quite Altering the Alpha like John’s Retcons, but definitely opening up new possibilities that do lead to the Alpha, or that give more time to a Doomed Timeline.

Classpect Interrogations: Prince of Life grabbing someone and killing off their cells

Beginning the necrosis of the body while they’re alive isn’t pretty my dude. But, fitting.

I have a terrifying(?) godtier idea: a seer who purposefully leads someone in the wrong direction which makes this player cause massive destruction(like going into a berserk mode). What if seers can convince players with their talking/“”open their eyes”” and basically control them to do the best for the team? They kind-of manipulate them by spreading information about their aspect. I think a seer can be some kind of a puppeteer

That’s definitely an interesting concept! Hmm… Specially Seers, Seers seem more prone to influencing others to produce a change from their prophecies, where Mages seem to lean more towards actively influencing said change. The question here is, would this be a Seer of Doom guiding people towards their destruction, or would it be, say, a Seer of Light that’s intentionally straying away from the path they see, seeing how far away from the Alpha they can go?

Do you think it would be likely for a Prince of Mind to have memory problems/loss of concentration?

If the Destruction of the Mind is of their own Mind, it could be fitting, but not really necessary.

Could a Prince of Void destroy the nothingness where something is and create things out of thin air like Roxy?

You could make a case for it, but I’m not so sure. Destroying seems more aggressive than Removing or Taking Away.

so from what we know about mages, they can experience some of the imminent happenings (idk how else to word this hhhh), so would a mage of time be able to kind of, know what splinters of themselves would be up to while preforming the time loops?

I mean the only hint we have of this is Sollux hearing the voices of the imminently Deceased, he Knows of their Doom. Meulin, however, seems to be more aware of what relationships she thinks would be the best together and tells people how they should get together. However, yeah a Mage of Time may have some good idea of what other iterations of themselves are doing around, hopping back and forth and doing time loops…

I got Sylph of Life and my sis got Page of Life. I'm thinking that would actually be a really powerful player combo in a session - what do you think they'd br capable of together?

Hard one to answer, you two could definitely be a powerful combo, but it would depend heavily on /how/ you combined your efforts and how you acted! Pages get Served their Aspect, so it’d not be hard to imagine you as a Sylph basically pocketing your sister, Healing and Buffing their abilities to bring out the full potential of their power! A beacon of Life, and powered by a Sylph, I feel a Page of Life powered up like that would be able to do Anything they put their mind into (Agency), heal their wounds non-stop (Life), and have anything living (Plants, Animals), serve the in their cause. That sounds kind of badass. 

Does Void have ties with technology?

Doom seems to have the most ties with Technology, Psiionic Energy powering up things, Computer Programs written in ~ATH, and such. 

What do you think of a Seer of Space being able to "see" where the frogs needed for the Genesis Frog's genetic code are so they know which ones to use and which ones to not bother with?

That almost sounds like cheating but I’m sure it’d work.

(just wanted to say ur great)

Awww :D Thank you very much!

Classpect Interrogations: Maid of Mind creates memories of themselves in your mind until you are comfortable enough with them to tell them what they want to know. They've been there for your birth, heck they could implant the memories that they're your childhood best friend who saved you from the crazy Prince of Space and you wouldn't know because that's how it's always been

Ooooh I like that, wasn’t there a Bleach Villain that did exactly that? It was a really messed up power set. Making fake memories.

Yes there was a Bleach villain who did that, glad you got it XD

Unpopular, and very much non-Homestuck opinion, but I actually kinda enjoyed the Fullbringer Arc.

Me too and Classpect Interrogation: A Mage of Heart knowing the deepest desires of your soul and pushing the right buttons to get you to admit what they want to know while a Seer of Heart can look directly into your heart desires and see what your aim is

Hmm, an interesting look at the Mage/Seer difference.
