Disorganized aspect thoughts (read my writing on classes here)

like classes, they're equal and opposite.

time/space - existence. both aspects concern themselves with the very fabric of reality. In time's case, it is the minute, the details, the past and future, the discrete, and struggles. in space's case, it's concerned with the macro, the big picture, the present moment, the interconnectivity of all things into a greater whole, and resolutions. a time player knits together the nitty-gritty of a plan. a space player keeps track of the larger goal.

breath/blood - movement. both aspects concern themselves with the direction of the party, both ad a whole and between individuals. in breath's case, it's concerned with freedom and choices, movement and flight. in blood's case, with bonds and pacts, tying down and keeping still, stalwart in the face of opposition. a blood player keeps the party together. a breath player brings the party somewhere new.

light/void - materiality. both aspects concern themselves with that which can be known. In light's case, it's concerned with the concrete, the factual, the fortuitous, and clear communication. void is concerned with that which cannot be known - secrets, subjectivity, emptiness. the spaces between, the silence, and the infinite promises it holds before it's collapsed into the known. a light player illuminates that which is salient. a void player dwells among the infinite possibilities of the unknown.

mind/heart - causality. both aspects concern themselves with cause and effect. in mind's case, it is concerned with the external - logic, actions, societal ramifications, karma, and justice. in heart's case, it is concerned with the internal - feelings, motivations, identity, the soul, the self, and acceptance of all as they are. a mind player keeps track of right and wrong, and how people will act. a heart player keeps track of identity and motivations, and how people will feel.

life/doom - journeys. both aspects concern themselves with the cyclical paths all entities undertake. life is concerned with beginnings, continuations, exploitations, healing, growing, and pushing through. doom is concerned with endings, laws, suffering, acceptance, peace, leisure, and letting go. a life player summons the strength to push through and adapt against all adversity. a doom player brings all to their proper conclusions and gives all a place to rest.

hope/rage - beliefs. both aspects concern themselves with truth and fantasy, and imposing their will upon the world. hope is the aspect which makes fake things real, makes the impossible possible, is associated with magic and divinity. rage, then, is the aspect which deems real things false and banishes them - "tearing down false truths" - and turns the possible impossible; it is associated with physical sensation and devilry. a hope player imposes their will on the world by making real what they believe in. a rage player imposes their will on the world by banishing that which they refuse to acknowledge.

example classpects, although i must include a caveat: classpects are deeply personal to the character they're applied to, and thus, even two people with the same classpect can manifest two entirely different skillsets. these are only some suggestions for how the combinations might shake out.

rogue of time | one who steals time for others / one who steals from time for others. a rogue of time is a force of change and upheaval; while they can travel through time, doing so is highly instinctive, and they often find themselves lost as to why they travelled to when they did, even as their instincts draw them to the exact right moment to disrupt the status quo - and they can often disrupt time for the worse, if not given clear direction and communication. More unique to this combination is the rogue's ability to steal directly from time, able to appearify past and future objects and entities at will, or to steal time away for others, able to reverse aging and injuries, or prevent accidents and harm, by stealing past and future, respectively.

knight of space | one who wields space / one who leads with space. a knight suffers from crippling insecurities, and in the case of space, this may lead to them shirking or denying the interconnectedness of all things that they instinctively feel. the relationship of a knight and their aspect is a straightforward one, that of a soldier and weapon or tradesperson and tool, so a knight of space will have fairly "standard"-seeming abilities - teleportation being the big one, but size manipulation, barriers and borders, and all other physical properties. with space's focus on interconnectedness and the larger goal, the knight takes on the frontline role of ensuring the party is united in the correct direction, always aimed in the proper direction.

seer of void | one who comprehends void / one who guides with void. a seer generally tends to struggle with blindness, both literal and metaphorical; so much the worse for one whose sight is aimed at the nothingness. already prone to feeling so burdened by their sight that they choose self-destruction, a seer of void must receive careful guidance from their party in order to understand the abyss they are gazing into. once given this direction, the seer will be an incomparable guide in unknown places, having an instinctive grasp of the ebbs and flows of nothingness, able to set the party on paths where nothingness is absent. a seer of void is well-equipped to deal with emptiness, nothingness, or eldritch madness that would normally drive others insane. Moreover, no secrets are truly secret to a seer of void; although such things are often unspeakable by nature, when the time comes for a secret to be known, the seer will always have a feel for how to bring that knowing about. "Lost" is never actually lost when a seer of void is present.

prince of light | one who destroys light / one who destroys with light. Princes are often the most psychologically maligned and self-destructive party member, and thus, a prince of light will embody ignorance, misfortune, and/or incommunication. What's worse, if their psychological problems are left unaddressed, they may wind up destroying precious knowledge, fortune, or lines of communication for the party as a whole. However, brought back into the fold, the prince, first of all, has access to deadly lasers. But also, they can crush arguments with facts and logic, and are especially skilled at using light to crush misfortune or banish uncertainty, paving the way for sure victory.

heir of heart | one who is beloved by heart / one who awakens to heart. an heir tends to start out privileged, and an heir of heart especially begins the game having won the hearts of their team members. However, this is also a danger to them - being naturally gifted with their aspect, and not having done much introspection to learn to control it, an heir of heart often winds up subsumed by the desires and identities of those around them, left unable to make choices for the party's benefit, or even their own. they must interrogate why they are so beloved, and what it means to be beloved, in order to protect from the consuming force of heart, and to learn to share their inheritance. An heir of heart can often take on the role a blood player would typically have, as they're uniquely suited to bringing understanding between their teammates, as they share the bonuses granted to them as a heart player amongst their party. they naturally charm their opponents, and are well-suited for political maneuvering or de-escalating hostilities. moreover, being a heart player typically allows them to achieve Ultimate Selfhood sooner, often during the game itself, the benefits of which are conferred to their party, as the party is granted a guide with knowledge of all timelines, whose heart is big enough to fit them all.

sylph of mind | one who nurtures mind or creates a land of mind. sylphs already struggle with a tendency to luxuriate within their comfort zone, becoming aloof to the outside world - a sylph of mind is especially dangerous in this regard, as mind is concerned with karma and justice. a sylph of mind who does not have their worst tendencies kept in check will designate themselves judge, jury, and executioner of the party, imposing their own sense of values upon their teammates and making enemies of those who do not conform. However, if they are pulled out of their comfort zone and forced to come to a realization that their own values are not absolute, the sylph can instead become a trusted moral backbone to the party instead, capable of providing constructive guidance, and dare i say, cognitive-behavioral therapy, in line with their tendency to be nurturers and healers. a sylph's passive abilities are incredibly powerful; with a sylph of mind on the team, the party never has to worry about foes equipped with mental attacks - mind control, mind reading, or whispering madness. if something of that nature does somehow manage to infiltrate the sylph's area of control, it's trivial for the sylph to banish it - one does not mess with a sylph within their own territory.

thief of breath | one who steals breath from others / one who steals with breath. thieves are selfish mavericks by nature, playing a dangerous game with the patience of their party, and a thief of breath finds it all-too-easy to earn their teammates' ire. by stealing breath - that is, choices and freedom - a thief of breath can control their victims. what's worse is that, by granting themselves that stolen breath, they grant themselves the power to determine the party's direction. thus, the thief must be confronted and made to address the reasons they desire such control. once turned toward the party's best interests, the thief of breath is a powerful force of freedom and liberation - so long as they have a say in things, no prison can hold the party, and no obstacle is insurmountable. the thief's ability to steal breath is also literal, as they're capable of asphyxiating foes, or using vacuums to their advantage - for example, the air bubble of a pistol shrimp. Moreover, once they've amassed a store of stolen breath, they can do nearly anything with it - blowing their enemies away, masking their scent, slipping in and out of tight spaces. At least, until they run out, and they have to replenish their stores.

witch of blood | one who manipulates blood / one who achieves dominion through blood. a witch of blood starts the game surrounded by an excess of bonds - but with no clear idea of how to change them. Often an "outsider," a witch is prone to following the whims of their naive hearts without fully interrogating the ramifications of their actions - in the case of a blood player, this means setting up or destroying relationships. this naivety makes them easy to manipulate, and they will often be taken advantage of by external forces, and, their gullibility left unchecked, will lead to them perpetuating harm - which is especially bad for witches, who have such powerful active abilities, and set the tone for the world they create. The same abilities that make a witch of blood capable of singlehandedly destroying a party's interpersonal relationships also makes them the ultimate matchmaker, once they've learned to sort right from wrong. otherwise, their abilities are quite literal - a witch of blood can manipulate literal blood, and also instruments of binding, like ropes and chains. there doesn't exist an enemy a witch of blood cannot incapacitate, provided the witch is fully-realized. interestingly, as they preside over bonds, witches of blood can actually act as a breath player, weakening bindings just as easily as they can strengthen them. with a witch of blood on the team, the party is truly stronger together - and the witch can ensure that they stay that way.

maid of doom | one who distributes doom or manages with doom. maids begin the game oppressed, if not outright enslaved, and the maid of doom especially has been designated one of the universe's sufferers. maids have an unbelievable influence on the party, managing from the backlines, and if these malicious external influences aren't addressed, a maid of doom will doom their party, dispensing their aspect according to the whims of their master. However, if they are able to free themselves, then a maid of doom is one of the most powerful possible party managers. doom is concerned with rules and proper processes; as such, a maid of doom knows that there's a place for everything, and ensures everything is in its place. they can also bring suffering without injury, which is sometimes useful for snapping a sylph out of their comfort zone, or showing a thief how it feels. after all, doom players provoke sympathy, either for themselves or for others, and oftentimes, pain is needed for growth. As doom is also associated with silence and rest, a maid of doom is also uniquely gifted in providing comfort and compassion to those who are in pain, providing them the space to grieve and cry, and soothing them that everything will eventually be at peace. the fact that doom is associated with pain and death means that it is one of the most powerful combat options available to maids, as the mere act of dispensing it can cause great damage to their foes - alternatively, they can grant the foes silence and peace, putting them to sleep. the last of their duties is to bring all things to a close - when the maid of doom says they all lived happily ever after, they fucking mean it.

bard of life | one who allows the destruction of life / one who allows destruction through life. the bard is the class of making the impossible, possible, and this is especially powerful when paired with life's tendency toward forward progress against all odds. however, bards tend to be shaped by the worst of the society from which they come, and the harmonious pairing of bards and life can easily work against the party, allowing for the destruction of not just their literal lives (while bypassing godtier immortality), but also for all that life stands for - beginnings, forward progress, healing, and the surmounting of challenges. A particularly maligned bard of life can cause the destruction of all the party's progress entirely, including all future progress. On the flip side, if the bard is taught a new way of being, there is no state of ruination that cannot be overcome. Their ability to allow destruction through life means that life will find a way, dammit. Even if the bard is the last one standing, their class will grant them some miracle by which the rest of their party can return, so long as the bard keeps living. the bard of life can either be the ultimate dead end, but, like nature reclaiming the most barren wastelands, they can also be the symbol of ultimate perserverence.

page of rage | one who earns rage or inherits the mantle of rage. pages start weak, with infinite potential, but long, arduous journeys of self-improvement to reach that potential; this almost seems contradictory when it comes to rage - is the page meant to learn how to be angry? Well, yes, but more importantly, the page must learn how to be honest with themselves. rage is concerned with truth and the destruction of lies - but what that truth and what those lies are are malleable. unrealized, the page of rage will likely spark a massive conflict by misdirecting their anger, or deeming the wrong things to be true, which can tank an entire party. however, if they are capable of surmounting the emotional issues that plague them, a page of rage is practically capable of warping reality. rage does not bring anything new into being, but it DOES take "false" things away - and these things can range from illusions, to disguises, to propoganda, to governmental policies, to the lies we tell ourselves, to game mechanics, to other entities' abilities, to the laws of physics - a similar powerset to a prince. a page of rage is an unbelievably dangerous foe, capable of laying bare all embarrassing things, uncovering all secrets, and denying all falsehoods - if only they're able to reach that point.

mage of hope | one who invokes hope or is drawn to hope. a mage of hope seems, at first, like the ultimate boon to a party - a "prophet" capable of literally speaking hope into existence. However, great danger lies in this incredible power - mages are often tainted by extreme self-loathing, which in turn, muddies their visions, and causes their prophecies to be self-destructive, if not destructive to the party - so much the worse when hope turns fake things real. A mage of hope can speak their darkest, ugliest, cruelest thoughts into existence no matter how improbable, or even impossible, such circumstances would normally be - and, in fact, they're naturally drawn to doing so. it would actually not be odd for a mage of hope to be the party's biggest problem until they were able to address their self-loathing and move on from it. Once this is done, then that incredible ability to prophesy the most impossible circumstances, and make them come true, becomes something that works in the party's favor. does this seem overpowered? hope is kind of just like that; it's considered an exploit in paradox space canonically, which is probably why it's balanced by only being given to the most pain in the ass classes. other mages would be constrained by their aspects - mages of doom can only predict dooms, and mages of heart can only predict feelings and matchmake; a mage of hope has no such restrictions, as hope is magic, divine intervention. The only requirement for a mage of hope's prophecy to come true is that the mage believes in it.

Notice to Classpecting Blogs

For years now, I've compiled useful information from other classpecting accounts onto my computer. When classpecting, I often use this wealth of information as a reference guide.

I have since discovered, to my horror, that a large percentage of content I have saved no longer exists on the internet (due to the deletion of blogs, art accounts, etc).

That being said, though it is wildly unorganized, I am sharing my google drive with the rest of the classpecting/Homestuck community! I hope you are able to find use in it, or, at the very least, make sense of it.

Hi there! I’m a sylph of heart and i’m creating an oracle deck based on the mythos of SBURB. I’m still very much in the brainstorming phase atm, but i was hoping that as a fellow classpecting enjoyer (with a recently active blog!) you could help me get some exposure? I’d really like to gain a little following here so i could have a pool of people to help provide ideas, interpretations, and feedback. Thank you! 😊

What an interesting idea! I'd be down to chat about it, if you ever wanted.

[classpect-interpreter]

do you have any ideas for a land to a knight of light?

Well, it kinda depends on what the Knight needs to improve on to reach their full potential! Knights of Light are those who utilize/defend and/or utilize with/defend with Light (knowledge, information, perception, attention, the finite). Some problems for Knights include a lack of confidence with their aspect/themselves, perfectionism, and/or lack of creativity with their aspect, so let's go off of that. I also use the "Land of [Problem Word] and [Solution Word]" format that I initially saw used by the user Dahni Witch of Light.

The Knight of Light's issues could be summed up with words like "Unknowns", "Instability", or "Indecisiveness". I think all of these could be summed up nicely under Mazes or Darkness/Shadows, which works as a land characteristic and an application of the Knight's room for growth. They could be intimidated by the many possibilities and paths, or scared of getting something wrong, whether they admit that to themselves or not.

The second word depends on how the Knight chooses to solve the problem; perhaps Towers from which to see the correct path through a maze (or at least get a different perspective), ascended through a test of knowledge, or Vision/Clarity to see a hidden path, or Light as a literal light for seeing and/or a guide!

These things can then, of course, be further personalized to your taste: perhaps your maze is more of a Labyrinth, Puzzle, or Forest, maybe your darkness is better described as a Fog or Mist, and maybe your Light comes in the form of Lamps or Orbs, or your Vision could be gained through a conduit like a Telescope or Glass! Get funky with whatever you think will help you (or your Knight character) reach your (or their) true potential as a Knight of Light!

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

Hello! please tell me which quadrant will be more pronounced between the witch of mind and thief of void? Thanks in advance

Ooo, an interesting question!

The Witch of Mind has an interesting relationship with logic; they're the master of thinking outside of the box and thinking in ways others don't, but this could put them at odds with those who think in more "conventional" ways. They solve problems differently, but no less successfully than others! They also love to see how others can creatively solve problems, not always wanting to be the one in the spotlight. They could also like to play with the status quo and how they're perceived. This could mean playing with outfits, maybe even portraying themselves as a different blood caste (if a troll). This may or may not accompany a sense of blankness or confusion in their actual identity.

The Thief of Void revels in the unknown. They love being in the shadows and keeping information close to their chest. While they hold their own secrets dear, they may like to uncover the secrets of others, whether those others like it or not. I can totally see them acting as a spy. If they like you, though, they could be the ultimate secret keeper who will bring your revelations to their grave. They also think creatively, partially due to the things they know and partially due to their apathy towards what is the "right" answer or path. Though they may not share it, they also have an interest in the different ways people think

Honestly, I like these two as either moirails or kismesis. As moirails, I could see their relationship being built on sharing the things about themselves they hide: the Witch's thoughts on their identity and how what they present isn't necessarily the truth, and the Thief's myriad of deeply held secrets. They can also bond over how they deceive others about their true natures, for better or for worse, like to act in the background rather than being the main character, and other traits they share. They are more similar than anticipated! Of course, this could lead to a more romantic relationship as well, but moirails are specifically for being confidantes so :P

As kismesis, I can see them trying to one-up each other with these same hidden aspects of themselves; the Witch taunts the Thief by pointing out how little they truly know about the Witch, while the Thief constantly tries to uncover their "true self".

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

[classpect-interpreter]

maid of space <3 prince of time, please! have a nice day!

Thank you, I hope you have a good day/night too!

These two likely have similar sensibilities, making it easy for them to get along! The Maid would be the sort to encourage their friends and be a great listening ear; they want to see those around them grow and change for the better, and they especially love to help with it! This could lead to them being a bit pushy, wanting to change it up often and not totally getting those who are ok with routine. The Prince is similar, but even more so; they really don't want to be stagnant, and they can work with the Maid to keep things fresh! They love to help others break out of ruts of their own, wanting to help their friends reach their fullest potential. They're likely more impatient, wanting things to be different now and resisting the end of situations they favor.

On a different note, I can see these two having a lovely garden together, especially a wilder one!

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

sylph of doom <3 prince of life?

These two have very aligned goals and will have a lot to bond over! I see two conflicting things: a pair who work together in a rebellious fashion, increasing decay and destroying authority with their respective knowledge of rules and hatred of current authority; OR a pair who hate rebellion and work to maintain the status quo, increasing order and destroying rebellion/energy with their respective knowledge of decay and hatred of change and growth.

Option 1, Hates The Authority: The Sylph understands and appreciates decay, and is likely a great mediator and listening ear, explaining how change is just a part of life and all things come to an end, including the order they enjoy. They understand the true worth of destruction, but likely prefer it be done in a quieter manner, and they believe that this careful pruning can be more sustainable due to being less obvious. They definitely know how to game the system, no matter what.

The Prince is more energetic, and a huge rebel. They hate the current authority figure/group with a passion and can be a whirlwind of change, possibly being reeled in by the Sylph or dragging them into their energetic fight. They're probably the idea maker, while the Sylph refines the method.

Option 2, Is The Authority: The Sylph revels in order and rules, using their destructive abilities to sweep away things they find undesirable or unruly, which may involve things like. Others' freedoms. But y'know, whatever. They know what's best, and what's best is upholding the status quo by whatever means necessary. Of course, they work carefully, not being too brash or obvious.

The Prince hates those who engage in rebellion and general energetic behavior, possibly being the authority figure themselves. They use their own power to suppress any uprising against them, living in relative luxury and wanting to be the only one to do so. They generally live to keep others in line, likely under them.

Either way, they're certainly a pair!

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

[classpect-interpreter]

do you do kissmetitudes? If yes can you analyze prospit prince of light <3< prospit maid of doom?

Indeed I do!

This -pio and -mino could easily work together, but they could easily clash, aka the perfect setup for a mutual respect rivalry! A Prince of Light can be very stubborn, stuck in what they believe to be true and wanting to destroy false information. They could also be interested in obfuscating all information, wanting to cause confusion or hide something specific from others. This isn't necessarily out of malice, of course, it could be a way to protect others or themselves. This intention may not be obvious or may not matter to everyone, however.

The Maid of Doom, on the other hand, will be focused on creating destruction, rot, acceptance, rules, wisdom, etc. They may also be stubborn, following rules and conventions religiously and using this as the framework for their whole life. Of course, these rules may be ones the Maid created themselves, but that doesn't mean they aren't important to the Maid. They may enforce rules on others that may not always be appreciated.

If these two's principles don't align with each other, they can easily grate on each other. "Why are you destroying that when you could be destroying this with me?" "Because destroying that doesn't matter!" "Why you-"

The Maid may see the Prince as a reckless renegade, while the Prince could see the Maid as either nonsensical or stuck-up, depending on how they lean. However, they may respect each others' drive and sheer destructive power!

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

[classpect-interpreter]

yoooo could you tell me a bit about a knight of void? how would they fight? what powers do they have? and how do they use them? what would their personality be?

Knights generally use their aspect directly, and a Knight of Void is no different! Though one could think this is counterintuitive, they have plenty of options. The Knight of Void could be a sort of spy or rogue, working best in the shadows and loving sneak attacks and misdirecting their enemies. They may fight barehanded, literally fighting with nothing, or have some sort of shadow weapon. I can see them having a connection with darkness, shadows, and literal voids; maybe good night vision, or the ability to hide better in shadows!

As for personality, non-destruction-class Void players tend to be secretive and a bit introverted, preferring to live in the shadows and keep their secrets close to the chest. They can be very creative, seeing a lot of possible options, and pretty good with unknowns. Knights tend to have some anxiety regarding how they handle their aspect, so they may be nervous regarding unknowns or the secrets of others, but they can handle it better than they think! A Knight of Void would have less trouble than others when in new or complex situations, since they can make really anything work or just be low-key until they figure out what to do.

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

[classpect-interpreter]

Derse Sylph of Light <> Prospit Knight of Blood

A -pia and a -cer could end up being great moirails!

A Sylph of Light will focus on what they deem important, trying to teach and lift the voices they see fit. This could be very helpful for a shy Knight, who may have great ideas but difficulty finding the confidence to voice them! On the other hand, perhaps this Knight is like Karkat and needs help focusing on what is actually important, another specialty the Sylph may have.

Of course, a dersite will likely have trouble adapting to various situations, a real detriment for an information and attention-focused Light player. They likely become very frustrated when others don't listen or don't trust their judgement, which is where a relationship-focused Knight can come in handy to possibly mitigate arguments.

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

[classpect-interpreter]

I'm a bit out of practice, so I apologize in advance if anything seems vague or lower quality than pre-hiatus!

[classpect-interpreter]

Hello! If you're still taking requests, how well would a Prince of Blood and Thief of Doom get along?

Well, depending on how well they fit their roles, pretty well or pretty rough!

A Prince of Blood will likely resemble a Breath player, being more carefree and free-flowing. They may sabotage their own relationships, or those of others, for whatever reasons they may have (or even accidentally). Maybe they have issues with responsibility, and try to drag others away from theirs.

A Thief of Doom will likely be at least somewhat logically minded, and likely know all of the rules and barriers specifically so they can be used to the player's advantage. They may act in the role of a healer, relocating the rot and harm on a teammate or themselves to be somewhere else.

I can see them getting off to a rocky start, and any relationships the Prince has will likely be difficult. However, the Thief may see this as just another barrier they can work with, and weasel their way into being friends anyway! They may share a disdain/apathy for rules and responsibility, a shared Doom-Blood trait.

Of course, this is just my interpretation, and may not accurately reflect your specific situation.

Any ideas for a good lusus for a trollsona?

Well, it depends on a couple of things!

Some castes seem to have a sort of "category" for lusii they usually have, in canon:

Bronzes seem to have lusii connected to farming; a bull, a herding dog, and an emu (which are farmed!)

The Captors are the only named golds with a lusus to not have said lusus be a bug of some sort

Karkat's lusus is special, since he's a mutant! It was specifically developed by secret followers of the Signless so a mutantblood would have a lusus in the future.

Jades can, incredibly rarely, have a Virgin Mother Grub lusus! Kanaya was said to be a rare case (though I can't find a source for this).

Cerulean lusii seem to have a connection to biting (snake, tick, and spider), and so far many have been bugs.

Indigo lusii seem to be related to farms as well, though more on the ungulate side! Examples are Arthour (a cow centaur) and a goat.

Purple lusii seem to trend between semi-aquatic (Marvus' "land dolphin" lusus) and fully aquatic (goatdad and a whale).

Violet lusii tend to be fully aquatic (seahorsedad and a background aquatic cat lusus)

Fuschias ONLY have Gl'bgolyb as their lusus

Though of course, you can ignore this stuff if you don't feel like following canon to the letter!

If your trollsona is you, it could be an animal you have a deep connection to, or just your favorite! For example, I think mine would be a sheep with fangs, like a musk deer! This is because I'm a cerulean and wanna keep the biting theme, but also I have a special connection to sheep, since that's been my main stuffed animal since I was a baby!

Other options include, but are not limited to:

An animal with a theme or aesthetic you want your troll to match or contrast

An animal with a temperament you want your troll to match or contrast

Any pre-existing lusus, of course

A not totally animalian lusus, such as one with plant elements

I hope this can help you!

How would a Maid of Rage work? My character is a Maid of Rage according to a couple of quizzes (sign: Sagicorn), and Heart (the name of the character, based on a heart pin on vir Gacha Club design) is kind, determined, and ve dreams of being a hero (for context, Patapon OC, dreams of being an Uberhero Charibasa, and is currently just a normal Yaripon), what challenges and strengths would ve have from vir aspect? (ve uses ve/vem/vir/virs/vemself btw)

Well, in my opinion, Maids of Rage accomplish goals by increasing/creating concepts of Rage in others or themselves (if necessary). This includes fear, anger, doubt, distrust, etc. Don't be mistaken, though, this doesn't mean that Heart is a bad person or can't be a hero!

I personally think that this means ve is a healthy skeptic who values thinking before acting, encouraging others not to immediately trust in things that ve thinks might be false or misleading. This can help vir team/friends avoid things that ve doesn't trust, but of course, how this affects everybody depends on what it is that ve's avoiding. Something tells me that ve loves messing with vir enemies, goading on foes to cause them to make mistakes in their rage, though ve could also go for intimidation or confusing the enemy to get through a fight.

If ve accidentally falls too hard into Rage, over-embracing the aspect, then ve might have trouble trusting anybody and end up being quite pessimistic, going past a healthy threshold of Rage. Ve could also accidentally end up pushing people away if ve doesn't manage vir Rage stuff properly. Ve doesn't wanna overdo it, after all, lest ve end up making nobody trust vem or be constantly upset in vir presence. On the other hand, ve can't completely reject the aspect, as blind belief, joy, and trust just isn't vir thing. It simply wouldn't be fulfilling or functional for vem.

Interestingly enough, being a blue sign, ve is probably pretty laid-back and fun-loving, making for a fun contrast with vir generally "negative" aspect and its use! I hope this can be helpful for you!
