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! ✨

[trenchesandoptimism]

Looky looky, class analysis!

Wow the flu sucks!!! It knocked me out for NINE DAYS. It is pretty much over now and I lived to tell the tale but wowza did it mess me up.

Obviously I missed my target release date for Act 7 of Enter the Medium, and I'm still tired as heck, but I do think I'm on track to release Act 7 this Friday. Keep your fingers crossed people, I am wayyyy behind on life and if something urgent pops up I might need to finish that up first.

But we're going for it!

[trenchesandoptimism]

I can't believe I missed 4/13 😭 I have been SO sick with the flu for five days now, I haven't been able to do anything. Including working on my writing, which means on top of missing 4/13, I'm probably going to miss the release window for Act 7 of Enter the Medium. I might pull it out before next Friday but wowza am I not feeling it right now.

The trolls brainstorm ways to get past the newly-revealed aquatic planet. A quadrant blossoms. Meruji is disturbed by visions of the future. A relationship blossoms, a dream turns into a nightmare, and a hostage is taken.

Ooh, is there a design for Homeswap!Feferi? My beloved pink girl, but I couldn’t find any art of her

Yes! I couldn't find her either so here you go! Her name is Faye and she's obsessed with mermaids.
