Firstly, I love this blog, keep up the good work! Second, I'm tying to understand the Void aspect better for an oc I'm making (she's either a Heir or Witch of Void), but I'm running into a roadblock. I know that nothingness, obscurity and secrecy are part of that, but i dont quite understand some of what was shown in Homestuck, like what exactly Equius' whole caste stuff had to do with his Aspect?

Thank you very much! Nothingness, Obscurity, Secrecy, Eldritch stuff, are all Voidy things yes, but what Equius’ Aristocratic Caste and the names of the ‘Signs of X’ given to the Voidy Signs tells us, is a mild relation with… Philosophy? And Metaphysics. Questions about the Material World that don’t have a definite answer, things that make you think about the nature of the Universe, but without a concrete answer. This ties in well to both the Void’s nature of ‘not knowing everything’, as well as the relation between Void and the Material World.

That’s another little divergence that’s not as obvious as it may seem at first- With Light representing the Gnostic World of Ideas, Void is tied to the World of Darkness, the Material Reality we inhabit. Given Blues are the ones that uphold aristocratic rules the most, and the whole Caste System and societal rules of Alternia are influenced by Lord English, a Yaldabaoth, it makes sense that Blues would be Void- A Caste concerned with upholding the Material Reality they live in without questioning, asking answer-less questions…
