Homestuck Classpects (or Titles, whatever you prefer)

I've always figured on Seer of Time for myself. It started out as a "why does everyone always say time travel is confusing, this is perfectly straightforward" joke - I've never really had trouble keeping time travel plots straight, which apparently is somewhat unusual? Or people just like playing up their confusion? I don't even know - but I do genuinely like the Seer class's role as an intelligence agent and adviser without necessarily being a leadership position, and I don't hate time travel.

 

Are you in the Doctor Who fandom? 'Cause I get the impression the confusion thing happens a lot there - at least when Moffat is involved. Like, it's both a joke by fans and a less-joking hatedom thing. Both played up a bit, probably, for their purposes.

 

TBQH I'm not convinced that Moffat understands storytelling well enough to stress about his time travel plots, but yeah, I can generally get a feel for what he's getting at (full disclosure though I haven't watched any DW since the Ponds left. I was willing to put up with Moffat because I'd already gotten attached to Amy and Rory, but Clara utterly failed to catch my interest and I was already pretty fed up with Eleven.)

 

Have you seen Primer? That movie is infamous for being incomprehensible.

 

I think "can generally get a feel for what he's getting at" is basically me too. And it's a shame you don't like Clara; she's my fave companion.

 

I took that four part test a while back and recently, and the first time I was a Seer of Breath, the second a Mage of Breath. I'm not exactly the most well versed on classpects and their attached symbolism, so I have no clue how well it fits. Anyone willing to break it down for me?

 

I'm definitely a Rage player and not just 'cause purple. Probably a Mage of Rage. A lot of my life is based on limits- on how much I allow myself to feel or act, within what confines my actions are allowed to be. There's a really strict and highly personal moral code at the center of it, and the few time's I've broken it have had disastrous, largely self-inflicted consequences. And I'm prone to working on my own, even inside of a group. When I have Important Thoughts they're often hard to express, and I'm more likely to act on my own after weighing them (against said limits and code), without telling anyone or seeking approval. My thoughts are creative so that kind of throws the test, but my actions are analytical. So a creative, independent force that acts through the limiting of options (and often in limited options) suites me fairly well.

Even if it is kind of sad to think about. Sorry if some of my posts in gen-chat have been kind of down. I'm having a Day.

 

Mage of Doom for me, I think. Nerd classpect, right? :P

And hope you feel better, @Lazarae ; that sucks.

 

Thanks @albedo , I'm kind of jumping to extremes and it'll be better once I sleep proper. Also, neeeeeerd. [solluxsmiley]

 

I've generally got myself pinned down as a Sylph of Mind, which seems to be on the rare side for folks. At least I haven't met any others.

 

Agreed, especially since it does a lot of injustice towards the characters, IMO. Like...I think "Knights tend to put on facades" is the only one that's really true across canon, actually. It's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh, and "Thieves tend to be morally ambiguous/kind of jerks," but Roxy described it as "the asshole class" so that's not necessarily surprising...

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE.

 

Sollux always was my favorite. Less flippantly, systems and gathering/synthesizing data are my Thing. And giving up one opportunity to pursue another, weighing limited energy to effect change in the most important places, self-sacrifice to an unhealthy degree evolving into a more healthy one... Mmmyep. I am the nerd, it is me. I will effect change in the world by consuming all the data.

(I also sorta like the inversion, which I think would be Seer of Life, because that was how everybody thought I was going to turn out.)

 

I never really got inversion theory, but then again, I tend to not be terribly big on BKEW's theories in general, since so many of them require a lot of reaching (and since so many people tend to just assume they're canon for some reason, even though...they're not...).

What's funny about me getting Mind is that a lot of people tell me I'm kind of like Terezi, including several friends telling me my voice is their headcanon for her (my normal speaking voice, I mean). I even recorded her intro scene a few years back!

 

I'm either a Rogue or a Knight of either Void or Time. About three years ago I was a Rogue of Void, but I've changed a lot since then.

Time players have a fascination with death and music or another thing that requires a steady keeping of time. Space players fail to meet their own culture's expectations. I'm inclined to agree with Meenah when she says that Light players like to hear themselves talk. I have theories about the traits of the others, but they're less obvious.

 

While I think that Inversion is a thing, I've never liked BKEW's theories, and frequently disagree with them. I think that, because they have a very detailed explanation about why they have those theories, people are very inclined to just accept that logic.

 

if you don't mind me asking, were you born in 1993? please say yes, this coincidence is fun

 

I always get Mind for aspect, but my class seems to shift a bit. I've gotten Mage, Maid, Knight, and Witch. After lengthy discussion, my friends decided Witch of Mind was the best fit.
We spent about 4 hours figuring out everyone Classpects; it was a fun time.

 

1989, I'm afraid. I'm a Libra and a Snake.

 

I dunno, but I always thought that the whole "class/aspect HAS to be" thing was related to game mechanics or something? Like, the page is the "weenies with a lot of potential" class. You have to be a weenie with a lot of potential, or else the game won't assign you the class. Like, the characters don't have certain traits because they are a certain class/aspect, they are a certain class/aspect because they posses certain traits. I'm not much of a homestuck and maybe I'm entirely missing the point. Sorry.
