Sorry if this is out of the blue, but what do you think of the whole "Heart players deal with their splinters"? To me, it doesn't really make sense?

I keep seeing it in classpecting posts (which are years old tbf) and imo, splinters are a Dirk thing, not a Heart thing.

I mean, if Heart is the aspect of the True Self, then it makes sense for Dirk as a Prince to destroy it and have multiple selves. But Nepeta, for example, never struggles with this? Nor Meulin?

The only other self Nepeta has is her role-playing persona, which she doesn't really struggle with, and her Dream Self which I think was awake on Prospit before the start of the game.

Unless you count Fefetasprite and Davepetasprite, and she seems happy as both.

I feel like sometimes fans only look at Dirk to define Heart and forget that Nepeta also was a Heart player, or that Dirk had a Destroyer class.

What the hell?

Yeah, this is absolutely a problem caused by what I like to call “Strider Bias”. Dirk is very, very frequently used as the sole reference for analysis of Heart as an Aspect, with complete disregard for the fact that he is a Prince. It’s such an issue within Classpect Analysis that even the Official Extended Zodiac Site fucked this up.

Splinters are a Dirk only problem, stemming from his specific manifestation of him being a Prince of Heart. This is because Heart is the Aspect of the True Self, and Prince is a Destructive Class. He expresses this by fragmenting his soul- or his self- into “Splinters” and scattering them elsewhere. This is not something that other Heart players have to deal with, because the nature of their relationship with Heart is not inherently Destructive. Destruction of Heart is needed for Splintering. That is in the very nature and title of the ability.

Earnestly, Spriting does not count towards Splintering unless what was put within the Sprite… Was ALREADY a Splinter. Davepetasprite^2 and Fefetasprite are not Splinters of Nepeta. They’re just Sprites that happen to have Nepeta in them, who happens to be a Heart player. No one’s saying Erisolsprite is a Splinter of Sollux or Eridan, nor that Davesprite is a Splinter of Dave or the crow. That side of the argument falls apart when you consider that the Heartbound aren’t the only people that get Sprited.

Same for the Roleplaying example. The Heartbound aren’t the only people that Roleplay. Nepeta’s roleplaying has to do with her being a Rogue of Heart. That’s a Redistribution class. She’s just putting her soul into a character for a while as a means of earnest self expression. She gets her friends to do it with her, yes, but none of it has to do with Splintering. It’s not Destructive. You need Destruction to form Splinters.

Rogue of Heart

A Rogue of Heart values the personalities and identities of others so much that they give away their own in an attempt to let others flourish. They use direct courses of action to help others shape into what they deem to be what is personally best for the people in question. This means they often forget about themselves.

Gotta say, aspecting Sasuke a Blood player is really clever. I think the impulse would be to call him a Rage player because his whole deal is angst fueled revenge, but if you look at where that desire comes from and what it means for his character dynamics and story arc, that desire and its consequences are firmly rooted in Blood.

Sasuke's whole arc's primary focus in about how his desire for revenge, yes. But that revenge fantasy is the manifestation of a sense of obligation to the dead of his clan to end the life of their murderer and his brother who he believes a traitor. And the anxiety from past perceived betrayal coupled with that fixation on obligation results in him being sabotaging new relationships with the characters around him, because it twists his view of relationships away from the typical mutualistic bonds between comrades to one of self-centered transactional tools to be exploited and discarded; when Sasuke believes characters have nothing left to offer him, he abandons them, betrays them in favor of pursuing his own agenda alone.

His core character arc then, is one rooted in a fundemental misunderstanding and harmful malapplication of Blood's core ethos as presented in shōnen storytelling.

I'm running through my head trying to decide on the best class to pair with Blood for Sasuke, and in canon, I'm torn between the three most overtly self-diasterous classes: the bard, the prince, and the mage.

The argument for Bard is that blood is something which destroys Sasuke, consumes him, leaves him lesser. He is through his interactions with Blood left hollowed out. This works narratively with how Orochimaru tries to groom him to become the snake's next vessel, but falls apart when Orochimaru fails to do that.

The arguement for Prince is that his whole quest begins as a search to destroy his last remaining blood relative, and he eventually succeeds though he destroyed the bonds he had with all his allies up to that point to do so. This argument falls apart when the story doesn't end with the death of Ittachi, and Sasuke has to grow beyond his now fulfilled revenge fantasy.

The argument for Mage is that his misunderstanding of his elements leads him towards using it in self-destructive ways. By continuously isolating himself as a form of self-flagellation with the aim of growing stronger. This particular one falls apart not in Sasuke's arc, but in my personal reading of the Mage class as a whole. I don't think the mage is best characterized as the active but self-destructive analogue to the seer class. The primary view we get of the mage class is Sollux as a mage of Doom, and what Sollux as a mage is doing is actively amplifying his aspect: He's increasing Doom. The same way Dirk's splinters are more stemming from how Heart is influenced by the Prince class, shatter it; Sollux's self-destruction stems more from how Doom is influenced by the Mage class, amplifying it. And Sasuke ain't amplifying Blood.

If we open ourselfs up to fanon, I do have a class in my expanded classpect system that's in my opinion perfect for him, or rather, I will have it after I bother with making the class write ups (only have the aspects done right now).

The Mime, which abandons its aspect, would perfectly describe Sasuke's characteristic interactions with Blood: he abandons his bonds with his squad in pursuit of permanently severing his bond with his literal brother, and he abandons any other allies he makes along the way, who he views tools to be used in pursuit of his goal and then discarded when no longer useful. Perfect match to my reading of the character.

Anyway, that's a lot of words to say good pick on Sasuke as a Blood player OP, it makes sense that he'd identify strongly with the story structure and themes of another blood player because because their storys, rooted in the same Aspect's themes mirror each other.
