The Big Pinned Post!!!

What I do here:

My name is Zero, and this is my Classpecting blog! Here, I do a variety of things related to Homestuck’s Classpect system!

What I will do:

Individual Classpect Analysis (Tags: Use the name of the Classpect/Class/Aspect)

Session Analysis (Tags: session analysis)

Planet/Quest Creation (Tags: land, quest)

Assigning Character(s) a Classpect(s) (Tags: character analysis)

Fraymotif Creation (Tags: fraymotif)

What I won’t do (At least now):

Fan Class/Aspects

Strife Specibus Ideas

Literally anything that isn’t some kind of analysis

Just send in your requests, and I’ll be more than happy to respond!

Class Defintions:

Pretty much every class follows the pattern of “Does something to their aspect or with their aspect.” Classes are also paired into active and passive versions of each other. What exactly it means to be active/passive varies based on the class, but often active classes will do their action directly or for themselves, while passive classes will do their actions indirectly or for others.

Also an important note: I ignore the gendered limitations on Classpects. I personally find that to be far too limiting on creativity.

Prince: Active destruction class. One who destroys their aspect or destroys with their aspect.

Bard: Passive destruction class. One who allows destruction of their aspect or allows their aspect to destroy. A Wildcard for the session.

Maid: Active creation class. One who creates their aspect or creates with their aspect.

Sylph: Passive creation class. One who allows creation of their aspect or allows their aspect to create.

Page: Active serving class. One who serves their aspect or serves with their aspect for themself.

Knight: Passive serving class. One who serves their aspect or serves with their aspect for others. Represents what the session lacks. Also responsible for protecting the Space player during frog breeding.

Thief: Active stealing class. One who steals their aspect or steals with their aspect for themself.

Rogue: Passive stealing class. One who steals their aspect or steals with their aspect for others.

Mage: Active knowing class. One who understands their aspect or understands though their aspect for themselves.

Seer: Passive knowing class. One who understands their aspect or understands through their aspect for others. Functions as their session’s guide.

Witch: Active manipulation class. One who changes their aspect or changes with their aspect.

Heir: Passive manipulation class. One who is changed by their aspect or is changed through their aspect.

Lord: Active master class. One who dominates their aspect or dominates with their aspect.

Muse: Passive master class. One who inspires their aspect or inspires through their aspect.

Aspect Definitions:

Space: Represents physical space and creativity. Always responsible for breeding the Genesis Frog.

Time: Represents time and inevitably. This player’s planet has the Scratching Mechanism.

Light: Represents light, knowledge, and fortune.

Void: Represents nothingness, secrets, and ideas.

Life: Represents life, creation, and control.

Doom: Represents death, destruction; and servitude.

Breath: Represents freedom, individuality, wind, and literal breath.

Blood: Represents friendship, community, society, and literal blood. Potential link to Jack Noir.

Mind: Represents thought, logic, decisions, and consequences.

Heart: Represents the soul, emotions, motivations, and romance.

Hope: Represents hope, positive emotions, belief, and holy powers.

Yo! How did your classes go? Hope it went well

Reading an ask referring to me graduating highschool as someone halfway through *college* is fucking crazy man

[zerotheclasspector]

Prince of Mind?

Alright, time for the lobotomiser! Classpect No. 32:

Prince of Mind

Prince: Active destruction class. One who destroys their aspect or destroys with their aspect.

Mind: Represents thought, logic, decisions, and consequences.

Prince's tend to show traits of the opposite aspect in the beginning, they would be someone who struggles with abstract, logical thinking. Since Sburb/Sgrub/Shrub (damn it has so many names now) tend to skew younger, they probably struggle academically. They may also have an aversion to making difficult decisions. However, they may be better in the realm of emotional intelligence, and easily show care to their friends.

Upon entering the medium, our Prince of Mind would have to develop their reasoning skills further, and know how to use their own mind as a weapon. I could see the prince struggling at first to get the alchemy system, but slowly learning how to make completely OP weapons.

As for their powers, it really depends whether or not they are using Mind to destroy or are destroying Mind itself. If we go with the former, I could see them being able to create supporting allies in combat from their mind, kind of like Summoning from Terraria. Given Mind's relation to decisions, I could also see them split into multiple possibilities of themself when presented with multiple options, allowing them to make every possible choice. With the later, well, as eluded to earlier, they could literally destroy the minds of their opponents, which could erase their memories, knowledge, or anything else stored in their minds.

Oh, oh I see

[zerotheclasspector]

Trynna figure out if I wanna follow the official definitions or just use the ones I have. On the one hand I like following the official sources, but on the other I've already done a few with my own definitions lmao

[zerotheclasspector]

Holy Jegus that’s a large inbox

[zerotheclasspector]

… Ok, so I may have forgotten about this blog for a little bit

I’m wrapping up my classes rn, so I’ll try to get back into this in a week or two

My apologies for anyone who is still waiting on me to answer an ask, I will get to it as soon as I can!

[zerotheclasspector]

would you be willing to analyze the prince of breath classpect? much thanks (this is mod 8ean from theextendedzodiacas btw)

Sure, it's cool to see another Homestuck blogger! Classpect No 31:

Prince of Breath

Prince: Active destruction class. One who destroys their aspect or destroys with their aspect.

Breath: Represents freedom, individuality, wind, and literal breath.

Since Princes lack their aspect, the Prince of Breath would not have much freedom in their life. There are a few different ways this could be manifested. As Sburb/Sgrub players tend to be the children of their species, they may have incredibly strict guardians, not letting the Prince do what they want. It is also possible that the Prince has far too many responsibilities in their life, meaning they have very little time to themselves.

The Prince of Breath would also be able to destroy the freedom of others. How would they do this? Well, one way they could would be by being an incredibly strict leader. They would require their teammates to do everything they say, exactly how they say it. While not the most pleasant boss, they could definitely get results.

In the Medium, the Prince of Breath could put those leadership skills to the test. Their harsh commands could cause conflict within their team if they are too strict. A good Blood player could provide balance the team desperately needs.

Now, what can the Prince of Breath do? They can destroy the air around them, and stop the wind. They can also use the wind as a weapon and could even create tornadoes and hurricanes. They can also destroy someone's freedom, forcing them to do exactly what they want.

any ideas for a prince of doom?

Already did that one ^_^

[zerotheclasspector]

Can you share what the main difference of a prince of time and a knight of time is :0

A Prince of Time destroys Time or destroys using Time, while a Knight of Time serves Time, or serves using Time!

[zerotheclasspector]

meticulous hot take: life is character development while doom is stagnation of oneself

I can kinda see where you're coming from, but I have to disagree.

For example, if we look at the Life and Doom bound characters in Homestuck, the Doom bound characters (The Captors) had more change in their personalities (Sollux half died and became more optimistic, while Mituna suffered a personality altering brain injury) than any of the Life bound characters (The Peixes and Jane) did.

I personally see these two aspects as representations of Life/Death (obviously) and Control/Submission (I need to phrase this better).

The Life/Death split is pretty clear by the names alone, and the powers shown by Godtier Jane and Feferi. The Control/Submission is shown through the characters assigned these aspects, with the Life bound always being in positions of power (Somehow always linked to Betty Crocker-), and the Doom bound, as they are both powerful Goldbloods, are doomed to become batteries.

do u have an analysis for a Seer of Time?

Classpect No 30:

Seer of Time

Seer: Passive knowing class. One who understands their aspect or understands through their aspect for others. Functions as their session’s guide.

Time: Represents time and inevitably. This player’s planet has the Scratching Mechanism.

The Seer of Time would start out not knowing much about time. They're the kind of person who doesn't manage their time very well. They constantly ignore the 30 reminders on their phone telling them to do all of their basic tasks. I am hoping that you all relate to the Seer of Time, because I sure as hell do.

The Seer of Time would also not really fully grasp ideas such as the length of time before them, the length of time that comes after them, eternity, and destiny. They seem pretty content not thinking about these things. However, if they started to fully consider these things, it could be a bit overwhelming for them.

In the Medium, the Seer of Time would have to finally understand Time in order to guide their teammates. They would use the knowledge of Time to be a guide. The bad thing about this means they will see all of the tragedies that have to happen to not doom the timeline. While this could be difficult for them, if they are able to handle the inevitable existential crises, they would make a great guide.

What powers would a Seer of Time have? Obviously, they can see what will happen in their timeline, either in the past or in the future. This would allow them to keep time loops stable for their session.

[zerotheclasspector]

Could I get a session analysis for a session with a mage of blood (prospit), knight of light (derse), prince of hope (derse), rogue of space (prospit), sylph of time (prospit), and heir of mind (derse)?

Okie dokie, let's see the players:

Mage of Blood: Active knowing class. One who understands blood or understands though blood for themselves.

Knight of Light: Passive serving class. One who serves light or serves with light for others. Represents what the session lacks. Also responsible for protecting the Space player during frog breeding.

Prince of Hope: Active destruction class. One who destroys hope or destroys with hope. (Eridan my belovved)

Rogue of Space: Passive stealing class. One who steals space or steals with space for others.

Sylph of Time: Passive creation class. One who allows creation of time or allows time to create.

Heir of Mind: Passive manipulation class. One who is changed by mind or is changed through mind.

So, good news: you have a Space player, which makes this session viable for completion! Bad news, however, the session is going to lack the aspect of Light. This could show itself in a couple of different ways, A: The session is incredibly dark, making it hard for the players to see the world around them, B: The session lacks knowledge, with the players never fully realizing the rules of Sburb/Sgrub, or C: The session lacks luck, with every unlucky thing possible happening to the players.

Now, let's look closer at our players:

Lets start with our Frog Breeding duo, the Rogue of Space and Knight of Light. The Rogue of Space would have difficulty breeding the frogs, as the frogs won't be found on their planet, but the planets of other players. They would have to use the gates to travel through the session, stealing the frogs they find. The Knight of Light would assist the Rogue by serving them knowledge. They could serve as a scout, finding the frogs for them. Overall, they make a solid team easily prepared for the challenge of breeding the Genesis Frog.

Now we have our time player, the Sylph of Time. As a Time player, they would be responsible for making sure time loops occur the way they are supposed to. The Sylph of Time would have a hands-off approach, letting things happen the way they happen. While this is certainly risky, allowing time loops to play out on their own could work out great.

While this session lacks a Seer, it does have a Mage of Blood. The Mage has a deep understanding of relationships, but for themselves. They could easily be the team's leader, as they are able to get along well with everyone. However, they would not be able to really help others with their knowledge, meaning if there was a falling out in the team, they wouldn't be of much help.

There really isn't much to say about the Heir of Mind. They are a very logical person, and they could make a great strategist for their team. I could see them being difficult to work with if they were arrogant, but if not, they would make a great asset to the team.

Now for the most dangerous player: The Prince of Hope. We all know just how dangerous this player can be for the team, destroying any and all hopes for success and survival. However, despite these dangers, they could be a great ally, using the power of Hope as a weapon. The Prince of Hope can really make or break this session.

In all, I can see this session going really well! The Frog Breeding players have excellent synergy, and the other players have really useful skills. While the Prince of Hope could cause problems, the players could likely still prevail.

Me: "Hey, I'm gonna try classpecting more this month!"

*Forgets to post for 10 days*

I'm gonna try to catch up now ^_^

[zerotheclasspector]

WOW I did not follow this lol

Yeah school’s pretty busy, so I’ve had less time to write this blog. I will *try* to post more, but I have no guarantees.

[zerotheclasspector]

I had this one asked of me last month, so here we go, Classpect No 29:

Maid of Rage

Maid: Active creation class. One who creates their aspect or creates with their aspect.

Rage: Represents anger, negative emotions, and rebellion.

The Maid of Rage would be great at putting people in bad moods. They seem to always know what to say to make people angry or upset. They would even be able to get themself angry pretty easily. This anger wouldn't be necessarily destructive, but instead could be put to good use. They could make others angry to serve political or ideological causes, for example.

One very specific thing I can see the Maid of Rage doing is creating ragebait on social media. This fits the definition of a Mage of Rage quite perfectly. They would post things such as long discourse, controversial memes, and clickbaity articles in order to get people angry. Like I said above, they may use this to further their own causes.

In the Medium, the Maid of Rage could serve as a great motivator and healer. They would use anger in order to get their teammates to cooperate and achieve their goals. However, if they abuse their powers, they could be a threat to the session, making their teammates turn against them.

Now, what could a Maid of Rage do? Like I implied throughout this analysis, a Maid of Rage can create negative emotions within others and themselves. They could also use the power of anger to create or heal things, literally turning negative emotions into physical objects or energy.

[zerotheclasspector]

Happy February everyone! I was able to do 28 different classpects over January. Since I’m trying to do all possible classpects in one year (14 a month, this means I got two months worth of classpects done!

However, I did take a bit of a break around the end of January. I’ll try to pick up again this month.

Thank you all so much for your follows and asks, they’ve encouraged me a lot! I’m looking forward to doing even more analyses this month!

spare me the witch of doom

Classpect No 28:

Witch of Doom

Witch: Active manipulation class. One who changes their aspect or changes with their aspect.

Doom: Represents death, destruction; and servitude.

A Witch of Doom would know how to change destruction to their own advantage. Despite what their aspect implies, they would be a very positive person. They would look on the bright side of bad things that happen to them, and try to make it positive. Along with this, they would try to find ways to benefit from negative situations. Got sick? Hey, at least you don't have to go to school/work!

A Witch of Doom would also know how to manipulate service and servitude. They would be a person with many leadership qualities, and would be good at leading others. However, they could be a tad controlling, trying to force people to do exactly what they want them to do.

In the Medium, the Witch of Doom would use the destruction inherent to Sburb/Sgrub. They could use the death and doom they encounter of their journey as a weapon, attacking the many imps they encounter. However, if they were to turn on their own team for some reason, they could be devastating to their session.

What can a Witch of Doom do? They could take the injuries one has and make them either better or worse, depending on the Witch's goals. They could also control lower enemies in Sburb/Sgrub, such as imps, as minions. Finally, they can take death itself and change it, potentially giving them ressurection powers, or mass killing powers.
