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.

Thoughts on The Heir of Hope? I could really use an outside perspective right now. (Thank you)

Hallo! I have not been active on the internets from my computer in multiple days because my internet died and I wanted to give you a proper answer with correct grammars :33

... Ok so I really am sorry for not answering my internet has been spotty at best for like a week but it’s pretty good now so I can finally actually answer!

Well, heir of hope... let’s start with heirs, shall we?

Heirs, as far as I interpret them, are more literal versions of pages; while a page would channel the spirit of their aspect as part of their personality, a heir would become their aspect physically (which is a fact that’s supported by canon! I love having theories and then remembering that they’re actually entirely canon ^^”). So heirs’ personalities tend to reflect their aspect more literally as well, being almost archetypes for “this is what being X aspect means”.

I’d say they’re a simpler class, but that might not be entirely accurate, because aspects have a lot in them, if you’re willing to look. Like how void may be about mysteries and things hidden in shadows, but also includes contradictoriness (is that a word? It feels like it should be a word), or how breath can be wind but also scatterbraininess (never let a breath player build their own schedule, it’s like a hurricane went in and messed all their meetings up... which, I suppose it is.. but that’s a tangent for another post, maybe). There’s a lot of room for exploration there, finding where you fit into your own aspect, and whether there’s traits there that you wish to change, or improve upon, and whether you’re willing to put in the work (you’ll find that, if you’re willing, it may come easier than you expected to start the change you want to see in yourself, though it’s still bound to be difficult.. as is any change one should make. The key is being truly, actually willing and eager to better yourself, and know that sometimes you should ask for help, and that regardless, things take time...)

So. If a heir’s personality is built on existing within the space of their aspect... what about hope?

... You know, hope is surprisingly hard to figure out. Though, the same can be true for rage, since both of them have two players that destroy their aspect, making them act inherently unlike said element... so we literally only have Jake to go off of and saying “you’re like Jake English but your personality is more hope” wouldn’t be particularly helpful... not to say kind of inaccurate.

I found (through two hours of research, god, apparently I’ve been sitting here trying to not get confirmation bias over theories for two hours... Then again I have been thinking about heirs for a while anyways, so it would’ve been longer if I had been putting off answering any longer...) that hope is one of those aspects that are dreadfully unclear. It’s pretty difficult to take hope literally, as even in its literal sense it’s not tangible like void and breath are, so, how do you become hope?

Well... I’m sorry to disappoint, but I believe that’s up to you. Hope’s one of those aspects that are, in essence, whatever the player makes of them. Like most others, actually, I just find that the players we follow happen to be wholly uncreative in their use of their aspects... Except those that use it subconsciously, in which case it’s more that the game looked at them and probably said something like “wouldn’t it be really funny if I made Dirk Strider a Prince of Heart?” which, well. I’d say “sad” is a better word, but the game’s got a weird sense of humor and is also wholly irrelevant to right now!

Hope can mean a lot of things, but literally it’s more... well, the way my brain tried to put it together is kind of like how determination works in Undertale (… without the space-time shenanigans, since those are both elements in actual Homestuck). You don’t give up, and there lies your power. By believing in yourself, you have power. By trying hard you can do.. whatever you want. At least, that’s the literal way to see it (which is the only way we see it in actual Homestuck, but, again, aspects contain so much more than just their literal definitions, and the players we meet during our time reading are dreadfully unimaginative). We never see any other definition, though I’ve seen some people mention that hope may also have to do with the literal definition of light, or holiness, because.. magic. Or something. Not sure I buy that, but also visualizing “hope”, which is a wonderfully grand concept is probably hard, so, glowing it is, I suppose.

What all of this ends up meaning is.. Well, the Heir of Hope is someone who is embodied by their hope. I usually suggest stuff like a horoscope but it’s getting pretty late here and it’s also 10 degree weather, and saying “don’t give up” feels awfully tacky of me... So I’ll say this, instead; stay true to who you are. I’m not implying you’re perfect, or anything, but more that your true self is a wonderful person who, had I not been a Mage of Mind who dreams on derse’s moon and therefore an expert in overanalyzing social interactions before I even know the other party’s name, I’d love to talk to. I feel like you can be an uplifting person, if you let yourself be, and that you’re an inspiration to be around once you start talking about stuff you’re passionate about. A presence to light up a room, maybe, or at least one that people notice when it’s missing (because you only notice the absence of light in the darkness).

Again, sorry this came out late, I hope me working on this post for... three hours (yeesh, how the time flies when you double check against confirmation bias that the third heir we meet is, indeed, Mituna Captor, and that he did indeed “become” doom by accidental brain deletion) makes up for the three days where I was looking at this question from my phone and going “I should start writing” and then instead made my trollsona art and also read fics I have memorized because I tend to procrastinate (and also I spent 10 minutes just now trying to remember the word for procrastination and googled it as “word for not doing thing”. It was not there. I'm in agony/j).

Hope (hah) you still enjoy it even if it’s late? ^^”

dirk general nsfw hcs?

Would like to apologize I clearly have a bias and that bias is wanting dirk to be a stupid slut thank u LMFAO

Also I mention a dick being in him, but that can still mean you have a strap on or something if ur not amab LOL

And also idk if I should put some warnings for certain kinks? I don’t write about triggering kinks (like noncon or cnc) so idk ! Let me know

Dirk NSFW hcs

- not to objectify dirk strider but I’m gonna say it . He’s a whore . Plain and simple this guy is an actual slut I would call him so many fucking names to truly describe this . It is ridiculous

- could imagine switch, he wants you anyway you want him, and sex for him is typically about pleasing you rather than himself

- so giving you oral? Fucking loves that shit, he loves knowing he’s pleasing you and he could get off of that alone honestly.

- he kinda likes being degraded as well? Oh my lord just make fun of him

- a lot of loud whining and whimpering oh my god

- and he cries a lot believe it or not like wow he is almost never emotional but when you guys are having the most loving and intimate sex he is crying his eyes out (in a good way)

- lotsa I love you’s, even if the sex isn’t as loving or more kinky, he needs you to know!!

- cue doja cat playing while you fuck, I’m so sorry guys

- he’s impatient, when you’ve got him going anyway, don’t keep him waiting or tease him for too long he gets all grumpy and lets out a lot of “please I need you!!”

- but also at least he’s not thinking about being too selfish just because he wants a dick in him lol

- likes mating press a lot

- also gets horny a lot? So if you don’t get horny as often he can get himself off it’s fine

- if not though sex happens so often, usually likes the bedroom but is literally fine with anywhere in the damn house if he’s desperate enough

- and purposely teases you and tries to get you in the mood

- sometimes dirty talks, doesn’t do it often because it’s totally planned (because he has no idea what he’s doing) and he’s trying to sound as cool and sexy as he possibly can

- did I mention loud? Cause he’s very loud. Never have sex with him when other people are in the house even when they’re sleeping they’re going to hear.

- he likes facefucking . A lot . But like . He wouldn’t do it to you? Yknow? He’s just a whore

- speaking of likes being called slut, whore, etc.

- Slap his ass. He lets out a noise everytime

- generally loves kisses at his neck, but a good way to turn him on is kissing the collarbone

- usually falls asleep quick after sex because he’s most likely just letting all that energy out during the session or whatever like he’s always very exhausted afterwards and most likely needs some aftercare <//3 take good care of your boy

Hey! Welcome to the blog!

Please keep in mind that I am not the be all end all authority on classpect analysis!

Classpect assignment

I will not analyze you and hand you a classpect. Being handed information about a stranger in such in depth detail is something I am not comfortable with. If you hand me something to hand you personally a classpect with, I won’t do it. Sorry, I’m not taking a potential trauma dump to hand you a classpect.

Classpect analysis

Send in a class+aspect you want me to look into and I will!

I will also try to hand classpects to characters! I’d rather original ones, as it lets you infodump, and lets me not go digging through miles of fandoms to find who you’re asking for, if i don’t know them

Session analysis

Curious about how a session with x y and s classpects will go? Shoot an ask my way and I’ll try my best to explain how I think it’d go! Void/null/otherwise dead sessions are welcomed and encouraged! I will analyze sessions over 12, and sessions with doubles of classes, aspects or both

Icons?

Icons are doable, but PLEASE do not expect them to be a high priority, they’re a thing I typically make to calm down from panic attacks

Where are the sprites from?

Here!

Just a small heads up that the “secret” button is kinda broken! Please be careful as it’s very eyestraining!

Enjoy the blog! Please note that if you drop anything nsfw into the inbox it will be swiftly deleted!

on a bit more personal note:

Welcome and all that fun stuff, yadda yadda

This blog is run by a Dave Strider fictive(that’s me), so there’s going to be some personal bias on shit for some classpects(knight of time being the strongest, let’s be fucking real here)

I’ve run the blog since about day one, and ive just gotten real fucking tired of pretending to be snowie, so here we are

said I wouldnt fuck with the url, but I guess I lied, whoops
