Classpect Amateur

Have you ever wondered what the classpect of a toaster would be? Me too. Let's find out! If you disagree with anything, please be as vocal as possible.

How about some Christian Mythos. What would you call the Tree that bore fruit that possessed the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the one God said "don't eat this stuff, I forbid it." Conversely, you can also do the Tree of Life, who's fruit gave immortality if regularly consumed.

Trees… Nice.

Since the first tree relates to knowledge, I would give it the Light aspect. At first I was against it, as Light seems to come in hand with facts and an urge to be good, while the tree has knowledge about good and bad. However, Light players in Homestuck are totally ok with doing bad things sometimes, even if they think they’re right at the time, so the Light aspect makes sense. 

Though a Rogue of Void would make more sense, as it steals a lack of knowledge from other people to benefit them. But considering God, (who is probably a person that should be listened to?) doesn’t want people to eat it, it would be a Thief of Void, as no one probably benefits.

For the Tree of Life, I’m assuming it would have the Life aspect as it’s in its name, and also helps extend people’s lives, as two Life players in Homestuck had the potential to have the longest lifespans. Since it tries to assist others through eternal life, I would give it the classpect  Maid of Life.

What would a ceiling fan be?

I love ceiling fans. They’re so pretty!

Ceiling fans blow wind around to move around stagnant air and make things cooler. Considering that they literally control the air, I would say that they’re a hero of Breath. Since they kind of manipulate the air by moving it, I would call them a Witch of Breath.

However, you could also call them a Lord of Breath as well, as they command the air and make it do what it wants, but ceiling fans can only really make air cooler. A Lord of Breath would probably be a thermostat, as a thermostat can make the air hotter or colder depending on its will.

Classpect of a lamp please!

Lamps! They’re so pretty, especially when they have those cool lampshades!

Anyway, lamps are used to provide light indoors, and can have a variety of different designs and shapes. However, rarely ever is a lamp a centerpiece in a room. It seems to be used to illuminate other objects than to bring attention to itself, so I would give it the Rogue of Void aspect. When off, and especially fancy, it is admired a lot. However, when on it tries to take away the darkness and obscurity of other objects by giving them light, effectively stealing their darkness lack of being noticed and giving it to itself. While a lamp, when on, is incredibly bright, it’s light is being used to illuminate others instead of itself. 

Lamp: Rogue of Void

What about a hoodie?

Hoodies! So warm!

Hoodies are used for warmth and comfort, and are also what the god-tiers in homestuck wear! People god-tier after dying and coming back to life on a quest bed, so maybe hoodies have something to do with Time, when you consider destruction (of life) and then its reversal. Hoodies could also fit the Heir role, as the class of Heir seems to be associated with fulfilling a role, and this would fit the whole idea of becoming god-tier. So if we look at hoodies in a homestuck way we get Heir of Time.

Shockingly, hoodies do infact exist outside of homestuck. In this case, hoodies are used for warmth and, occasionally, a way to disguise oneself. Hoodies are also considered comfort clothing. In this case, I am tempted to say that they are of the Void aspect, as they are fairly inconspicuous. It also assists other people through Void, so I’d say a hoodie could be a Heir of Time or a Maid of Void!

Hello

I was inactive for a while due to exams (there are still more but it’s more manageable now) so I’m going to be answering asks again! (Yay!) Sorry!

YAY IMA BOOK

A book is a good thing to be!

A diary or journal would obviously have a void classpect right?

A Void aspect would make sense, as a diary is typically kept private which would fit Void, but there is still information contained within the pages of a diary/journal. But then again, the fact that the information is hidden would only make it even more Void-y so I would say that you’re right!

What classpect would a pair of safety scissors have

Safety scissors:  the safest thing around

Safety scissors are made to cut paper, not flesh, fabric, or television screens. My first instinct would be to call them a Prince, but scissors aren’t made to destroy. They’re made to modify and shape things, so I would call them a Witch.

Now we need to think of the aspect. Since paper is typically used as a medium to show art or words, I would say that the scissors have the Light aspect, as they manipulate the information/paper.

Safety scissors would be a Witch of Light.

All right, I'm going with something really boring and average, so show me what you got; a ball of clay.

A ball of clay is filled to the brim with potential. It could become anything, a jar, a sculpture, a mess, a weapon of mass destruction… the possibilities are endless! I would definitely consider a ball of clay to be a Page, as it could become great, or it could dry out and be a ball.

However, what aspect could possibly do justice to such a fascinating object? I would think Mind. Since Mind mainly focuses on decisions and the consequences of those decisions, for a ball of clay, this would be perfect. The decisions made affects how the clay becomes something else, and the consequences are evident when it is dried/cooked. And perhaps, with enough time, that clay art could be considered a masterpiece, if only enough determination and focus is placed. The ball of clay would be a Page of Mind.

What about the classpect of like clothes, or to be more specific, a shirt/sweater?

Hmm… Clothing.

The classpect would probably depend on the goal of wearing the clothing. For example, if someone is wearing a certain outfit to appear fashionable, the classpect for those clothes would be different from one that’s for functionality. Since you said sweater, I’ll assume that this is aiming towards comfort (if you meant something different, please tell me!).

When someone thinks of a sweater, they imagine warm and fuzzy cloth covering someone, or protecting someone. Some interpretations of the Knight class seem to correlate with protecting someone. Since that person is typically a human, or at least someone alive, and keeps them warm and safe, I would say that a sweater is a Knight of Life.

First of all: I think this is an amazing idea for blog, holy hell. Second: What WOULD a toaster's classpect be?

Thank you!

So first we need to look into the operation of a toaster. It has slots it in in which to place slices of bread in. When you hit the lever, a timer starts and the bread gets toasted. I would think this would have some relation to Time, as it is heavily reliant on time in order to perfectly toast the toast. You could also say it is the Life aspect, which is heavily related to food, because it helps cook bread, which I am pretty sure is food.

In order to better determine which aspect it is, we could try to figure out its class. I am pretty stumped, but I think it would be a Sylph. The toaster does not heal the bread, but it does make the bread transform into toast, its ideal form, which could be considered healing. 

I would consider a toaster to be a Sylph of Life.

I am the same classpect as a toaster SCREM

Toasters are good and productive members of society.

what would be the classpect of a book?

Books! There are so many different books and types of books, so I’ll just go with the basic idea of a book.

Books are pretty heavily associated with the Light aspect, as Rose is shown having an entire wall of books and wrote a pretty popular one before the Alpha session. Books in general are also linked to knowledge and smarts, so it’d be pretty safe to say a book belongs to the Light aspect.

The goal of a book is to show people the words inside of it and help them know more, or derive enjoyment from it. Since a Maid is considered one that provides others with their aspect, it would make sense for a book to be something that provides others with knowledge, or a Maid of Light.

Okay. Here's one. There's an old Japanese myth about two swords, one is a bloodthirsty blade that will cut abso-fucking-lutely anything in its path happily. And another is a serene Blade that will not cut anything unless it Absolutely deserves to be cut. What you got for me bro?

Ooo! I am not very well versed in Japanese myths, so I’ll try my best!

For the first blade, it seems very eager to destroy, so I would probably say it’s class is Bard or a Prince. However, it seems to be eager to destroy everything in its path indiscriminately, so coming up with an aspect seems a bit more difficult (at least for me). I would either call it a Bard of Doom or a Prince of Space. For Bard of Doom, the sword destroys others and, considering there’s an entire myth about it, it’s probably saturated with tales of dread and infamy. A Prince of Space would make sense, as Space could be a nice blanket term to contain simply everything, and the Prince part could help with the destruction part.

For the second sword, it seems to have a large sense of honor, and is eager to do the right thing. I would consider this sword to fit Light. Light would make sense, as all of the light players in homestuck are fairly focused on heroism (even if it doesn’t end too well). While some of them may have made some questionable decisions (*cough cough* Vriska and Aranea *cough cough*) they were still incredibly determined to be heroes. I would probably call this sword a Bard of Light, as it destroys people through heroism, if that makes any sense.

Oooh ooh ooh what would the classpect of an egg be?

Woa! Egg!!!

Eggs are considered a symbol of life and creation. A lot of celebrations use eggs to portray renewal, so I would consider an egg to have the Space aspect, as it is a Space player’s job to help give life to a new universe. You could also consider an egg to be Life, as it isn’t only a way for a bird/animal to be put into being, but it can also be eaten (but I like the Space interpretation better.)

As for a class, eggs are used as a vessel for a baby bird, and, at least to me, seem to represent potential. In the past, that tiny small egg could become a vicious dinosaur, so I would consider an egg to be a Page of Space.

So, I think the real question that we need to ask is, what classpect would a classpect blog have?

Woa! Deep.

Considering classpect blogs are typically used to share knowledge, albeit homestuck knowledge, so they would probably fit the Light aspect well, or a reversed version of Void (like if paired with the prince aspect). Considering Light is more associated with fortune, I would be more eager to call a classpect blog a Prince of Void.

Would spears land under staffkind, bladekind, or get their own thing?

Hello! I just kinda do the classpects of inanimate objects, not the strife specibi, but I will still try to answer your question. I think it would be its own thing, but if you decided to use it more as a staff, then it would be placed in staffkind.

Sorry!
