A hypothetical god tier for the Seekers of Truth from Dragon Age: the Knight of Light.

A Knight of Light is among those who use knowing and perceiving. They are motivated by themselves to utilize awareness. (x) The Knight of Light puts on a front to hide an insecurity and enjoys knowing things others don't. (x) They are the Defender Scholar, defined by guarded awareness. (x) Their opposite is the Page of Void. Their inverse is the Rogue of Void. They share their personality with the Seer of Doom. The Knight of Light would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Haze and Light, reigned over by Hemera (Goddess of Daylight) or Apollo (God of the Performing Arts). They would rise to ascension on the wings of moths. (x)(x)(x)

Started thinking about Kingdom Hearts character classpects and now that KH3 has given Sora a new aspect to fill I have honestly never had characters slot so cleanly into unique classes and aspects before. Enjoy my self indulgent mental experiment:

Sora - Rogue of Time (one who steals from time for the benefit of others)

Kairi - Muse of Space (one whose agency is denied but inspires the actions of others)

Riku - Seer of Life (one who benefits themselves with knowledge of life and uses it to guide)

Roxas - Heir of Heart (heir of identity/self/soul)

Xion - Sylph of Doom (one who heals for others through death/fate/doom)

Naminé- Thief of Mind (one who steals mind/thoughts/consequence)

Axel - Page of Blood (one who creates bonds/provides others with bonds and serves the bonds created)

Saïx - Lord of Void (one who has command over emptiness/commands the emptiness of others)

Vanitas - Witch of Rage (one who creates negativity/creates using negative emotions) OR Bard of Blood (one who invites destruction through bonds)

Ventus - Maid of Breath (one who provides freedom/confidence, one who tends to freedom/confidence)

Aqua - Knight of Hope (one who serves and protects hope/ideology)

Terra - Mage of Light (one who arms themselves through the pursuit of knowledge/one who is manipulated through their pursuit of knowledge)

#kingdom hearts #homestuck #sora #Kairi #Riku #Roxas #Xion #naminé #Axel #Saïx #Vanitas #Ventus #Aqua #Terra #I learned classpects in high school like other girls learned tarot and birth charts #I don’t care if classpects are cringe in 2023 they’re still fun to me #Vanitas gets two because I didn’t want to sacrifice my initial idea of him as a blood player #sorry to Saïx who is stuck in his Organization XIII middle management position #I don’t have a firm enough grasp on Isa and what that backstory is to assign him based on that #originally it was going to be Saïx as the rage player Axel as the void player and Vanitas as the blood player #but I ultimately felt it shook out better this way #also I know that Ven struggles with both freedom and confidence #but the Maid class uses their aspect to benefit others more than themselves #and so I thought it fit ‘you never stopped lighting my way home’ #and also he does the windy thing

ive been thinking abt my oc comet. genuinely what is wrong with her. she cant differentiate between someone being plural and someone being haunted but he can narrow it down to those two

#krill chirps #my stuff #krillverse #oc: comet mhorlborne #shes genuinely a reallt interesting + powerful chatracter. unfortunately he is a monocellular organism #classpect would be either heart or breath player #page i think? has a lot of power but doesnt. use it

[hubrisapologist]

so tempted to make a classpecting resources blog where I organize all the different classpecting theories and opinions and ideas out there by linking them in one place to make it easier to sort through the oceans of theory posts people have made over the years

#hubthoughts #not to be like 'oh boy I love sorting through and organizing information into categories' but #it would help me remember all the different things ive heard about classpects over the years. a comprehensive reference would be great #maybe this'll be another drop in the ocean of ambitious projects I wont ever get around to. who knows

[aortaobservatory]

would lovelovelove to hear ur take on the rage aspect in general.

You've actually asked me about my favorite aspect and I will GLADLY take this opportunity to ramble about it (and, I suppose, touch a bit on its inverse as well). I actually wish I was this aspect instead sometimes; I present as very punk in my offline life and every Ragebound I've met has always been the most delightful company I've ever kept. (I suppose that might also be a very Heartbound thing to wish for, to be of another aspect...)

Of the twelve aspects, I will argue that Rage and Hope are the most commonly and grossly misunderstood. When they are flattened into one dimensional concepts, they are flattened into words that are not even in the realm of correct. Because of what we see in canon, Rage and Hope tend to get flattened into the "angry aspect" and the "positive aspect". These are incorrect understandings. Hope is about ideology and the systems built by them (such as government, or organized religion). Rage is about activism and digging out the truth. It is a very active aspect.

From The Extended Zodiac, I pulled these keywords from the Rage Aspect description. These would be the "canon" traits; they are what I adhere to when analyzing, but it should also be understood that this concept encompasses much more to do with than these keywords. Its "vibe", if you will, is much more than what is written.

TEZ Rage Keywords: Chaos, contempt, truth-seekers, doubters, stubborn, volatile, unpredictable, original, revolutionary, fearless, (cruel, uncompromising, vicious)

The words I chose to represent Rage in my analyses of the classpects are "Skepticism, Truth-seeking, Rebellion, Stubbornness". Like the other aspects, Rage is not an inherently good or bad aspect; it is neutral in its purest form.

Rage is what brings change. It is rebellion against unfair government systems, it is breaking free of internal biases, it is going out and finding the truth outside of the propaganda you have been fed. Rage aligns with punk very well, and I would be willing to argue that many of those in the punk subculture are Ragebound or know several Ragebound, and this is because to be punk is to rebel against wider societal views. You'll find many queer people in the punk subculture, for example, even if they are not Ragebound, because of how wider society views queer people.

Not all punks are Ragebound, and not all Rage is punk (though, much of it is). Rage is also activism. It is organized rallies and protests. It is essays that carefully deconstruct internal biases and point out what is and isn't propaganda. It is not believing what you are told about something because you'd rather get first hand experience or research it yourself than hear it from the mouth of anyone else.

I cannot speak of Gamzee and Kurloz as they are presented in canon, because... their characters were either written very messily or just not written at all. They are both destroyer classes, which tends to skew the understanding of an aspect as well. However, I would think that Gamzee and Kurloz's arcs, if written out with intentions of having them be properly developed as characters, would include becoming aware that their beliefs were built on faulty premises, turning against their cult beliefs, and tearing it down; using Rage to destroy what had (passively or actively) destroyed them.

(I would like to joke that Gamzee and Kurloz had to be written poorly. If they were ever written as a fully realized Bard of Rage or Prince of Rage, Homestuck would have been over the moment they accepted their true aspect and began using it to destroy the Condesce and Lord English. Those two classpects are particularly powerful.)

jadekat & why i love it

jadekats this really interesting homestuck pairing to me! i feel like its because both jade & karkat are cool characters on their own, but their great strengths come with great flaws, and their dynamic balances out these flaws so well. it's a strangely underrated pairing too, considering jade is probably the character karkat most obviously flushes for in the comic, next to terezi. ill be explaining why i think this bond is so overlooked.

jade has a variety of strengths. as a witch of space, it makes sense. space is on a more grand level of intuition and clear knowledge on a vast amount of things, leading to space players sometimes not being able to explain the way things are in detail. this vastness also comes with a "wait-and-see" approach, as space is always growing organically, like an organism/plant. as a witch, jade followed through completing time loops with eagerness and a loss of wanting to know exactly why these loops must be fulfilled, simply believing things like fate knew what they were doing, and everything would come into order. shes also very well-versed in science, rifles, childhood cartoons, plants... she does everything she possibly can with the space around her, manipulating it (therefore "manipulating space") to her own will!

on a more characteristic standpoint, jade is socially isolated. shes nice to everyone she comes across (until theyre mean) but she has isolation problems. living on an island alone has made her used to having things done in her own methodical and scientific way, simply because thats the way she believes in. shes at a loss when it comes to chaotic, unorderly things like karkat's memos with his future/past selves! she just doesnt know how to handle it because she's only known how to be in tune with her own thoughts & feelings.

karkat is well-versed in the way relationships are supposed to go. he's watched an abundance of rom-coms and dealed with all his friends as a leader. it makes sense why he's so good at knowing how others feel and how to care for them. the problem is that he doesn't know how to outwardly express his own feelings or care at all. he doesn't know how to approach terezi without fighting with her, but still constantly pesters these people he likes with his angry, nonsensical ways.

when jade and karkat interact in the comic, it's confusing at first. karkat is constantly pestering jade at random intervals of time, and this ruins her ordered way of working around stuff. she develops these "conversation passwords", an intuitive way of staying on the same time track with the trolls. karkat is obviously angered by jade's action, but after realizing jade won't budge about it he goes along with it. in openbound, it's even revealed he used one of these conversation keys as a password for his own memories in a dream bubble!

in the memos with karkat's multiple selves, jade learns not everything can always be so orderly and clear, and this is very hard for her to stomach. she wants to quit dealing with it, but karkat's stubborness makes her deal with these messy, personal feelings.

in summary, jadekat's this great, balanced dynamic. jade teaches karkat to be more open and true to himself and his own feelings, while also getting him out of trouble with ridiculous things like future selves and all-over-the-time-loop conversations with clear solutions to get him back into the big picture. karkat teaches jade to consider the smaller details and how the more orderly paths can't constantly be taken to solve something.

this is all i have right now, i hope it makes sense!! i tried not to connect this to a lot of classpecting cuz i feel like jadekat's mainly about focusing on the very feelings of the characters (whether clear or messy) instead of just connecting them to a grander thing. lmk if u have any thoughts on jadekat or just jade/karkat in general ^_^!!

Space, Mind, and Void: Getting to Know Your Neighbors

Let's talk more about Space for a moment. (Can you tell I'm a little fixated on this Aspect right now?) Space is not just the Aspect of creation, visual arts, and literal space. It's also represented by the classical element of Water. (There are people out there who will tell you that Space is actually Earth, and Blood is Water. These people are wrong.) Space is "concerned with the big picture," sure, but what does that really mean? Strap in, because we're going to get a little bit ~conceptual.~ This Aspect is vast, essentially containing everything that is.

If we look at its neighbors, Mind and Void, we can understand Space as their intersection. The universe is not a "conscious" entity in a way we as humans can relate to. After all, it is a frog. If you take the instinct of self-propagation and expand it out into a literal universe-sized organism, its methods of attaining that feat would look a lot like conscious choices from someone on our level of complexity, wouldn't they? Ask yourself this: does a person consciously tell their bodies to produce new cells? What about the reproductive cells responsible for new life? There are forces within the universe that have their own desires—and the players themselves are invaluable, as their cooperation and success provide the only way that a universe can propagate—but the Genesis Frog simply is.

The Genesis Frog "contains every single instance of the universe that is within him," which naturally includes every choice one could make. Unlike Mind, however, Space itself is largely unconcerned with causality. It is merely the stage upon which the play is set. So, Space and Mind aren't the same thing. Why, then, are they neighbors? Put simply, the domain of Mind is not restricted to the choices one makes. Mind is what allows us to conceive. It's what allows me to find patterns and relationships in Homestuck's cosmology and Classpect system, just as it allows you to come up with your own interpretations of the same. Concepts, ideas, philosophies—these belong to Mind. The intersection of Space and Mind is, quite literally, the galaxy brain meme. Space provides the backdrop, but Mind invites you to imagine, to engage with possibilities as limitless as the universe itself. Mind brings you to a million crossroads and asks one simple question:

What will you do?

Let's take a look at our neighbor on the other side: Void. This Aspect is also characterized by its breadth. Much like a dark and impenetrable ocean, those who flirt with the Void without a proper appreciation for its nature may find themselves sinking helplessly below the surface. A Hero of Space may have difficulty teasing out their purpose in the game, chewing on the grand mythology their Land offers them free of charge. Nevertheless, the writing is often already on the wall. A Hero of Void, however, will find that their purpose has been translated through dozens of foreign tongues, with plenty of key information lost to time—or purposefully redacted. The result is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, pocked with uncertainty and doubt. Whereas Mind encourages its players to parse through a vast array of known options to find a way forward, Void demands that its players conceive the inconceivable, creating something from nothing through methods best described as arcane.

There are two kinds of people in this world.

1. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Space and Void both share a profound connection to Water, and they both possess a certain vastness that can only be truly understood through experience. These are both true of Mind as well, though Mind's connection to Water is much more abstract. (Appropriate, considering Mind sits above the Aspect Wheel's horizon, in the World of Ideas, while Void sits below, in the World of Matter.) Yet, they all deal with a theme I've mentioned several times now: conception. Birth. The new replacing the old. Space and Void both conjure up a sense of creation that's almost miraculous in nature. To create a whole universe, even for the most powerful Space player, is still incredibly impressive. To create something from nothing—whether that "something" is a physical object, an idea, or a secret third thing—is no less astonishing. A Mind player can synthesize information, make inferences based on what they know, and use that understanding to chart causality. All of this, however, requires prior information to work from. A Void player is capable of seeing the unseen, understanding what cannot be understood, and acting based upon that. They flirt with paradox and fuck the ineffable. Our familiar celestial bodies are the source of much inspiration, and we pay homage to them in so much of our art. Yet, like silence to a song, Space is defined not just by the stars themselves, but by the void between stars, and it is in these dark waters that Space and Void become one.

Come, friends. Let us bask in the now, in what is. Let what must be remain in the fiery bosom of Time. Breathe, and feel the universe breathe with you. Allow your conception of yourself, of your planet, of each cell in your body to shrink as you inhale, to expand as you exhale, until the microcosm and the macrocosm are utterly in sync. Visualize every physical and conceptual boundary you can think of, and allow them to dissolve. Do the same with those you can't. Allow me to ask you one simple question:

Have you ever rotated a tesseract in your mind?

*It seems that Dave was asleep but quickly got up, ready for whatever bullshit (his and my words, not anyone else's; after all, Homestuck itself is that) he had ready. Although IRL school demands IRL, not transitioned Dave to study, in this hour he's good to yap*

Alright...the thing is, a part of me alwahs doubt my own judgement on others, especially as I'm poor with judging myself. But there's no denying that I was already in the right track all along! So, you got: Knight of Mind! Some powerful classpect, although every one of them are powerful when used properly (although since I'm no SBURB player, at least this "THE Dave", I got no classpect powers. But my classpect is pretty neat as well).

So, since I'm lazy af rn, here's a quote from a tumblr blog that focuses on classpects: "Knights use their aspect as a weapon, exploit their aspect for any situation, and defend others with their aspect. Mind is all about logic, decisions, the outer self and tactical planning. Therefore, the Knight of Mind uses their mind to fight and defend, allowing them to be masters of battle tactics."

Knights also...hide under a persona. Either that is a shadow of their true potential, or hiding their true selves...mostly the latter, most of the time. As for you, you seemed to be quite a good example of such classpect used with (almost) full potential! You used strategies to make your fellow Rescue members organized, and no offense to Jin but you had more leadership effort since you're way more present than her. <-Blud still thinks Jin is the 'true' leader and will die on that hill

Although there is a canonical Knight of Mind in Homestuck [who is it? I ain't telling; go read the gogdamned comic or search ;) ], you were quite the opposite of her. You used your knowledge for real instead of hiding it, but even then there's that case of an "outer self" with you. However, unlike Roy, you seemed more stable with the emotional and mental parts of your identity, although still something...that may or may not be quite concerning, I suppose?

I've met many Polis who were as strategic as you but used it for other reasons, whether for good (like my Murder Drones AU!Poli/Price) or evil, others who emphasized the "No usey knowledge" thing—although it's not in a "cool lad" persona but in a kinda stoic sona instead—and some who were supposed to be a Mage, which understands their aspect quite well. Although that case for that last one is due to various...shenanigans.

Although the thing is...I wonder if that first variation of you that I've met as a kid is still around. As in, "narratively significant" around. Maybe he is, but who knows, really? We're all puppets of fate, and for someome like me...myself. But in the end, all is good...and I wish it was in my actual world.

I was far from it for a reason...

"Oh my word.."

Poli blinked several times, processing said information.

"Well, good morning to you? Woah, you manage to type up a whole storm after waking up? Impressive."

"Knight of mind, huh? That sounds like a cool title. So I'm sort of a knight? Also.. there's other Poli's out there? Like, other versions of myself?"

"I seriously learn something new everyday from you all.."

looked thru ur lifestuck au and. Heir of rage grienn is so real actually. Like I run a small classpect analysis blog and I saw that and went "that's the truest thing to ever be spoken" I love that for him. Also everything else about the au is also great it's just that that specific detail means so much to me specifically. Also may I ask about lifestuck joel?

thank you!!! and YES rage player grian is so special to me. he's mildly deranged he's bloodthirsty he'll lead people to their deaths just for the heck of it. but also: he's very much aware of how the game works he's organizing groups of allies he's not quite himself. (heir in particular,,, he is the game. he's played by the game. he's taking 30 hearts off you and he's laughing.) etc etc :)

you may have noticed that this ask took me a very long time to respond to, sorry! this partially because the character of joel smallishbeans confounds me and i spent like a decent amount of time trying to puzzle him out, lol. he is like one of three characters i don't have a solid classpect for so this is tentative, but here he is for now :]

he is most definitely a knight, of that i'm sure. he's super connected to his aspect intrinsically, but the game is not kind to him for it. again, like martyn, he's the narrative's beloved littleguy and they love stacking stuff on him to deal with. and boy does he deal with it, or tries, but it's Not Fun

as possibly disastrous as a session with three rage players would be, i do think it would make sense in some part for him to be one -- although with the caveat that he's not very good at it, haha. yeah he's supposed to be vengeful and a force of chaos for the server. does he particularly succeed in this? ...ehhhh

#thank you again!! i really appreciate it! also‚ if you're ever willing to share your classpect blog i would love to see it...? #no pressure ofc! i love reading different interpretations of hs canon is all ^^ #smallishbeans #lifestuck au #askbox #doodles #i need to go back to my scar post and add some details i forgot his dream planet + patron troll augh (<does not matter but i want to anyway

A hypothetical god tier for the Templar Order from Dragon Age: the Knight of Mind.

A Knight of Mind is among those who use the individual’s impact. They are motivated by themselves to utilize intuition. (x) The Knight of Mind puts on a front to hide an insecurity and enjoys challenges. (x) They are the Defender Genius, defined by guarded intuition. (x) Their opposite is the Page of Heart. Their inverse is the Rogue of Heart. They share their personality with the Mage of Doom. The Knight of Mind would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Haze and Mind, reigned over by Athena (Goddess of Justice) or the Sphinx (the monster that ate anyone who answered her riddles incorrectly). They would rise to ascension on the wings of dragonflies. (x)(x)(x)

Hello! As someone who loves having good study materials, I made a Beginner’s Guide to Homestuck Classpecting. It’s only 5 pages!

This guide has a focus on the class side of classpecting, covering foundational information including:

What the classes represent.

How the class system is structured.

How active and passive are defined.

It includes links to where all the information comes from. Most info is from the comic itself and nearly verbatim, while some info is from archived or now-deleted tweets from Andrew Hussie.

This isn’t a comprehensive guide, mostly it’s a guide for people who either know nothing and need a good spot to jump in or for people who like having a lot of references organized in a quick to find place. Either way, I hope someone enjoys checking this out! ✨

I saw you say you could ramble on forever about gender intricacies and I am BEGGING for you to do this about equius

FINALLY THE MOMENT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

Why do I think Transfem or Transmasc could work for Equius? Well, first let's examine his Classpect - Heir of Void. This aspect gives us insights into his personality beyond what is shown in the comic itself. The void aspect is associated with infinite possibilities and secrecy. Like Roxy, another void player, Equius may see the potential within emptiness rather than focusing solely on its absence. However, the impact of the aspect depends on the individual wielding it. While it can be beneficial, it can also lead to indifference and apathy. How Equius lets the aspect affect him is crucial.

Now, let's consider his class, Heir. Heirs begin the game already influenced by their aspect, as we see with John, who is a free spirit. Equius, on the other hand, is extremely secretive about himself, concealing rather than being open and honest with his friends.

We can now interpret this in a literal sense, relating it to gender. In Alternia, the only physical characteristic distinguishing individuals on the male-female spectrum is breast tissue; otherwise, there isn't much to differentiate the two genders. Trolls possess both sets of reproductive organs, making it challenging to determine their sex. It's essentially arbitrary.

Let's delve into Equius further. In the comic, he is strongly tied to the caste system and adheres to specific roles. He believes trolls of lower castes are crass, but he contradicts himself by fraternizing with those beneath him, such as his Moirail Nepeta. This suggests that he may not fully agree with the system or its ideals. However, in a society that dictates how you think, it's instinctive to lean towards those ideals.

Equius also displays an obsession with strength and prowess. He admires muscular Hoofbeasts to an uncomfortable extent but also engages in Nepeta's playful antics, which contradicts his masculine ideals. Equius himself is exceptionally strong, but he is upset about it. He frequently builds robots just to destroy them due to his own strength. It's evident that he has a complex relationship with his own strength, contrary to his admiration for other strong beings. There are two ways to interpret this.

One interpretation is that he could be Transfem. The only time he drops the masculine persona is when he is with Nepeta, which makes sense as they are Moirails. While he demeans femininity around others, it can be seen as his reluctance to express that he enjoys femininity to some degree.

His explosive anger towards his own strength could be another indicator that he doesn't fully embrace his masculinity. To compensate and feel "normal," he surrounds himself with extreme levels of muscles and dominance, which can be seen as a coping mechanism. It's not uncommon for queer/trans individuals to deny aspects of themselves and conform to societal norms that are expected of them.

On the other hand, Equius could be viewed as Transmasc. He is more comfortable expressing femininity with Nepeta but outwardly presents himself as masculine. He may want to maintain the image of extreme masculinity, while still being able to feel like himself naturally with Nepeta. Being feminine with close friends doesn't diminish one's identity as a man. However, with other friends, he feels the need to uphold a certain identity.

Despite his frustration when his strength causes harm, he does enjoy being recognized for his strength and masculinity. Trans individuals often surround themselves with what makes them feel comfortable in order to be seen as their identified gender. In Equius' case, it can be seen as a way to cope with wanting to be perceived as masculine by his friends, which is a common experience for many transmasculine individuals.

This analysis of Equius allows us to gain a better understanding of him as a character, using the information provided in the comic. The void aspect represents infinite choices, as shown by Roxy's comfort and fluidity represented in fandom. Equius inherits the void, so we can explore the infinite possibilities within his character. There is a lot of potential in understanding him this way.

Ultimately, both sides of the argument can be valid, as each point can be interpreted as either FTM or MTF. The beauty of analyzing characters that the comic doesn't extensively explore is that we can draw insights based on what is already defined.

Just my thoughts and if you read through this clusterfuck of a post, thx for sticking around!

hey there! out of curiosity, have you ever classpected yourself?

HELLLLOOOOOOOOO NURSE yes i have!!!! Slyph of space :3 took a quiz and got that the first time, then i switched to slyph of blood for a bit, took it again, and got the same answer! I rlly like this analysis of the classpect like oh my gos. Literally MEEE. Anyways slyph of space is SOOO COOL like mending space?? Fuck yeah. I imagine you’d need like a deeper understanding of the composition of objects to “fix space” which fucks SO HARD cause i love learned the intricacies of how things work and how far down they go like,, our body is made up of organs right? But then those organs are made up of tissue, and that tissue is made up of cells, and those cells are made up of molecules just down and down and down!! also i love chemistry and science in general (if you couldnt already tell just by the pervious ramble) so that fits into the space thing as well!!! OH i also made like a kid sona????

Goober. Gooby. I wish we had actually seen some vers of Kanaya that reached god tier so I’d have more to play off of?? But aranea is close enough iggggg. Anyways. Yeah ahahah i share a classpect with a glowing lesbian vampire from outer space. Yeehaw bitch
