I’ve put way too much effort into this and I am deeply sorry. Also @p1nkwitch I hope that you don’t mind that I borrowed your cat but then again you gave me the idea that one catboy isn’t enough. Also I like your user names so I decided to use them as well.
Also it’s written in the homestucks curswed second person perspective because I secretly love homestucks second person perspective…
Anyway I strongly discourage you from reading it unless you have some knowledge of homestuck.

Your name is ELIAS BOUCHARD.
Or at least that’s what we will assume for now. After all why should we think anything else that it is and always was your one and only name? It would be shame if we ruined some horrible revelation by some bad foreshadowing wouldn’t it?
So your name indeed is ELIAS BOUCHARD and you are the HEAD of the MAGNUS INSTITUTE.
You’ve had this position for quite some time. And by quite some time it is of course meant reasonable amount of time for a man of your age. Again it would be silly of us giving some vague hints that you might have been over two hundred years since you are obviously not.
You are playing sburb session and you’ve just successfully entered the Medium. The circumstances leading to this are quite fascinating and containing lots of shenanigans. It is really rather an entreating story! Sadly it all is absolutely irrelevant right now so we won’t talk about it at all. But it was really quite a wild ride so it is kind of a shame.
But we should rather focus ALL EYES back on you shouldn’t we? At you and your current struggle which is your attempt to alchemize some mores stuff. It is not that easy since Punch Designix in THE ARCHIVES of your institute then Cruxite in you office on the third floor and Alchemiter on the ground floor. So whenever you want to create something you must go all the way down there punch a captchalogue card then back all the way up to make Cruxite and then back down to finally alchemize something.
Yes it is all placed in rather inconvenient and actually straight out dumb way. It was of course idea of your dumb server player PETER LUKAS who also happens to be your husband. At least for now.
You don’t know whether it is less embarrassing to admit that you asked your husband to be your server player because you do not wish his death or because he is the most bearable person in your social circle which says a lot since he is huge pain in the ass and so far incredibly unhelpful.

WC: Peter.
WC: Peter!
WC: Peter stop ignoring me I know you are not doing anything important.
WC: Peter answer me right now!
WC: Answer or I will divorce you.
WC: I am taking the ring off my finger peter!
FT: …
FT: maybe I was doing something important
WC: No you did not. I can See you did not!
FT: no you cannot there are no eyes on tundra
WC: You forgot to turn down our wedding photo you have on your bedside table.
You can see your husband frowning and cursing. It is worthy even though now he put away your only way for you to see him.
WC: I need more grist to alchemize few things.
FT: Why? You’ve alchemized quite lots of stuff?
That is not true but your husband probably thinks that even two thing is two too much. You look at some of your beautiful creation. Since you have whole ARTIFACT STORRAGE full of cursed objects of different entities at your hand there you’ve alchemize few really interesting pieces like FLESH DESOLATING GUN, DISTORING PORTABLE PIANO and FOREVER FALLING NET TRAP and much more! Of course your favourite weapon so far it EYELEGANT CORD.
Yes you are great with cord actually. It certainly is not related to the fact you were growing up in 19th century when acquiring these kind of skill was not uncommon because as we established quite clearly earlier you are not over two hundred year old. Seriously that idea is ridiculous and we should stop bringing it up.
Anyway yes you did indeed alchemize more than just two things but they were mostly practical. You deserve some nice things as well!
WC: I still have few ideas. Now can you finally be helpfully and get me more gist and more importantly get me rid of those imps destroying things around here?
Ah the imps. They are quite easy to deal with but there is too much of them and it is hard to be KEEPING AN EYE on them all the time. And they are making such a mess all over yout beloved institute. You are especially upset because they dared to destroy few portraits of the great founder of the institute JONAH MAGNUS.
At least DuchessSprite – the combination of kernel sprite and your cat – is there to help with them since your server player is so useless. She seems to be having quite fun chasing them around. You are really glad to have her here to help. You would like to pet her but it would not be a wise idea since she was not yet prototyped for the second time since you still haven’t decided what you want to prototype her with.
Oh well you can find the right thing later. It is not like something unfortunate might happen by waiting a bit longer with it right?
FT: how? you were complaining when I was throwing things at them
WC: Of course I were! You threw at them my personal library!
FT: what can I use then?
WC: Figure something out yourself. But please ask me first!
FT: …
FT: maybe those clocks in you office they look quite sturdy
WC: Absolutely not!
FT: your table?
WC: I have things in it so no.
FT: your drawer?
WC: …
WC: Fine you can use that one.
WC: Oh, but first place Barnabas somewhere else in the safety he should be on top of it if I remember correctly which I of course do.
FT: …
FT: fine

Now where were you? Ah yes putting together some nice accessories for you. Or you could maybe say eyecessories but you are not as keen on obnoxious puns as is your husband.
First you make CEASLESLY WATCHING SUIT which is combination of your regular green suit, one of the portrait of Jonah Magnus and jar of possibly real cursed eyes from artefact storage. It comes out rather lovely you cannot wait to put it on.
You are just about to alchemize MAGNIFICENT ALL SEEING SHOES when you hear DuchessSprite meowing followed by a loud noise. You have naturally very bad feeling about it.
You might check right away of course because nowhere is as many eyes as in your office. (Or at least before you created you CEASLESLY WATCHING SUIT) But you decided to first get your husband chance to prepare you for whatever happened there.

WC: What was the sound, Peter?
FT: fuck
WC: WHAT WAS THE SOUND, PETER?
FT: oh… well… that’s funny story
WC: Peter? What did you do???
FT: simon is writing me i will get to you later
ForsakenTundra ceased pestering WatchersCrown
WC: Peter what did you do?
WC: You never answer Simon right away what the hell did you do?
WC: I swear if you broke something-
You are about to write few more angry messages but then you hear sound of something approaching.
CatboyBarnabasSprite: Uh… I am sorry but this is Magnus Institute right? Could you possibly help me find… Hm… there is so much information in my head right now it’s hard to make sense in them sorry… uh, who are you?
Elias: Oh fuck…
As much as I love fannon portrayal of lonelyeyes with multidivorce, the hate love tension or even all the more soft takes on their relationship…
I think we are not paying enough attention to their strictly cannonical dynamics.
They are avatars of opposing entities. They have completely different personalities. Peter’s ritual literally failed because of Elias’ Archivist. Yet they built some wierd kind of companionship based on bets and wagers? Elias doesn’t even Know how to make successful ritual for that long so he couldn’t be scheming from the beginning… They just reall had to meet one day and decide to keep seeing and annoying each other…
Also not to mention the fact that Elias trusted Peter with the institute. Like yes he didn’t have exactly many people to ask and he needed to mark Jon with the Lonely but still it’s HIS Institute!
Anyway I think we need more fanfics without any subtext where there are kind of begrudgingly friends.
(I think I’ve ever read just one but it was really nice and there seems to be much more understanding than in lots of those where they are married… )
p1nkwitch:
Oh god I just had the worst thought. In a tma homestuck au.
What…
What happens if Elias prototypes his original body as his Sprite????
Will there be two of them now? How much would it even remember since his eyes are technically powering Elias. Does he remember up until the first time he switches bodies or somehow it’s still connected to Elias and he has all the memories.
Is it like with Jade sprite or nanna and now they have half the soul of a Regency bastard mad at being alive when he is also active as Elias ? Actually it’s a nice take on how much of the original Jonah is left every time he body hops.
On a funnier and more lighthearted note, Peter is the one who accidentally prototypes it for himself and now he doesnt know what to do with his husbands ghost following him around.
In another unrelated note. Gertrude, Gerry and Leitner sprites. Think of the possibilities of the archive crew being stuck with them.
Wouldn’t that mean Elias would lose his all seeing powers since the ability to see is connected to his original body being left on specific spot?
On the other hand sprites are much closer to immortality than God tier can ever be. Also so much knowledge about the game you gain as sprite… Would be Elias almost see it as a win for his old self? while Jonah would hate the fact that he got no agenda in this decision… The conversation of which one of them is the more real one no matter how much memories they share…
On less philosophical note you could prototype Jonah sprite with cat and get a real catboy Jonah-
What are the class aspects headcanons? you cant tease that knowledge. I have my own, as every last hs fan, but I want to know your opinion.

nonbinaryeye:
@solaredarisen (you are making mistake I will write you an essay here..)
I’m happy to hear that I’m not the only one who is trying to fit into classpects on any characters in piece of media… 👀
Anyway apologies if I’m misunderstanding some class or aspect it’s a whole since I graduated from homestuck 😔 (also there’s always so many different ways of interpretation…)
Jonah Magnus - Seer of Light - Light is aspect of knowledge and it fits any Eyevatar the best I would say… With the class I was a bit more hesitant but passive more observing class of Seer who is using the aspect to understand probably fits the best. (but I would also consider Prince of Light because he uses the aspect - the knowledge - for destroying and rebuilding in a sense. Plus those with class of Prince are usually prices so would fur as well.)
Jon Sims - Mage of Light - Active counterpart to Seer whose main purpose is knowing as well in more in a sense of a receiving knowledge from their aspect. Also mages got somehow theme of not having the luckiest fate so… I don’t take criticism here.
Martin Blackwood - Knight of Hope - Here I’m pretty certain about class as Knight is the one who serves to the point of sacrifice through the class. I would probably go with Hope considering Martin’s optimism to the point of disillusion in certain situations… Even though here he could easily slip to Knight of Heart. And also because of his Web tendencies I wouldn’t be opposed to Knight of Mind.
Gerard Keay - Heir of Light or Rogue of Light - Light once again because of the Eye. But with class I really cannot decide. On one side heir would fit because it’s passive class connected to change which is about being consumed by the aspect to certain point… And Rogue is about using the aspect to help the others so… I really cannot decide here.
Gertrude Robinson - Witch of Light - It’s active class focused on change and manipulation… Plus Light because of the Eye. I don’t take criticism on this one.
Annabelle Cane - Maid of Mind - Mind Class of Maid to add to it as Maid is active and rather focused on creation yet still having there the association of the servitude to something higher…
Peter Lukas - Prince of Heart - yes Void would fit more for the Lonely but Prince is class of destroyer and also active therefore it might be interpreted as destruction of the emotion. Not to mention that Heart is overall aspect for the ones focused mostly on themselves… (anyway I was also considering Bard of Void is you wanted to be more traditional…)
Anyway even though I have thoughts on the others as well of course I have too much trouble to settle on some…
But please tell me your classpects headcannons I’m curious! 👁️👁️
I was also trying to connect entities to aspects… Because Eye is Light, Web (and possibly also Spiral) is Mind, Slaughter and Desolation is Rage, Flesh is Blood… but some entities are really hard to fit… Is Vast more Breath or Space? Is End more Doom, Time or Void?
I always end up trying to put this into everything i consume at least once, its ingrained on me at this point. I love your takes on them, they fit very well. So have my own version of it too.
Ellias is a thief of Light, he steals information and hoards it for himself, to keep others in the dark, while he does as he wants ;;;;)
Jon is a page of light, they always start sort of weak, but theorically if they become realized they are one of the most powerful classes. He starts knowing too little, but eventually knows too much.
Basira i would say is a knight of blood, she wants to be a leader, to guide the ohters, but because of her own shortcomings she ends up falling short. Since she keeps shunning her bonds with others and blood is about bonding.
Martin i hesitate but i would say is a heir, also yes he is a hope player, even when its detrimental to himself.
Gerry i agree is a Rouge of Light, the opposite of a thief, he helps people when he can with his knowledge. The nurse and girl in her vacation.
Sasha would have been a maid of heart, but NotSasha is a witch of heart, being able to manipulate her identity or her “self” at will. I can be wrong but its my opinion.
Georgie is a heir of void, she keeps herself in the dark and away from the conflics, prefering to ignore what happens around her to keep herself safe.
Melanie is a rage player no doubt, but i cant pinpoint a class.
Same with Tim he is Doom, always followed by the death of someone and gets progresively more dissilusioned, but i cant match the class either.
Peter is would say is a bard of breath, he would rahter dissapear and be on his own than deal with the others, being hard to tie down, plus bards can use their aspect on others to manipulate them. On the other hand he could be a prince of blood, cutting off any bonds with others.
Finally to not make this longer.
Eye and light, vast and space, dark and void, stranger with heart (sort of in an abstract way it is about the self after all) breath and lonely (Something about being able to move as you please and be hard to catch) End and doom, web and mind, slaughter and rage. I cant think of much more my brain is busted.
