MY FAVORITE TRANS EGBERT NAME IS STILL SALLY/SALI EGBERT AND HERE"S WHY

y'all ever seen a Movie called CON AIR

y'all know that there's a TRANS WOMAN IN THAT MOVIE?

her name is Sally Can't-Dance and YES it's a bit weird and the representation is a bit problematic but the joke isn't really ever "wow she's in a dress," it's, like, aggressively validating??? The joke is that she's a woman and she's doing crime.

Put Egbert in this dress and you have sold me on june

Hey what happened to erijan central?

i didnt want to pay for the url! (un employed.)

it's currently at its old, free url, "https://aeich.pythonanywhere.com/"

lmk if there are any bugs that the url change caused. idk if anyone was using the erijancentral api but that would definitely be broken by the url change LOL

[girlbowser]

i mean, i do use it, but you dont need to spend extra money just so a stranger can see classpect examples and play homesturdle lol

reenabled it on the free url... i need to press a button every three months to keep it running but for now enjoy

this will also reset your streak on homesturdle, since it's tied to url. soz orz

classpect hatsune miku >:)

This is a softball one because she and I are both Maid of Light ....... she's a hologram, she's a star, she's a stage girl... she is also overflowing with cultural relevance...

Genuinely one of my favorite classpect assignments ever tho. Hatsune Miku my legal kin <3

Thoughts on Neon (Breath+Light)?

Neon (BreathLight)

(icon by victis-stelar)

So! Neon is a fun dual aspect, because it's one of the ones that inspired the entire classpecting system! By that, I mean it has canon representation, in the form of poor, dear, Tavrisprite.

Tavrisprite, according to the ERIJANCENTRAL.COM dual classpect calculator, is a Spy of Neon, or ThiefPage of LightBreath. (Other notable details - Spy is an inverse of itself, and its paired class (active/passive swap within the verb group, so Thief to Rogue and Page to Knight) is Hunter, which is Davepeta's dualized class.)

In a sense, Tavrisprite is the ultimate showcase of what can go wrong with dual classpecting. The two personalities are incompatible as a living being, exploding just seconds after being created. This is obvious in the classpect name itself - Spy of Neon. A spy is thought of as sneaky and subtle -- neon is anything BUT. Their fusion was doomed from moment zero.

On the other hand, Neon itself isn't a fundamentally broken classpect. Obviously, the Tavrisprite fusion had permanent personality-altering effects on both (Vriska) and Ghost!Tavros - Vriska discovering how to cool her fires, and Tavros discovering how to be a leader, even though the fusion was merely seconds long. (For more discussion on that specific note, check out my fanfic, polyfrag.)

Neon also could represent a coming together of John and Rose. A "Herald of Neon" - a herald being a messenger containing news - could fit their relationship, vibeswise. I won't really get into it here, since that'd just end up being a Why I Like Grimdorks apologia, lol. But I do quite like it.

Finally, the popular fan fusion/pairing of John/June and Vriska results in a "Vagabond of Neon." Again, I can't really go into this specific one beyond just, "those vibes feel kinda right for that pairing," but yeah. (Hi godfeels fans lmfao - my new fic about June, featuring her wandering in Alpha Timeline Earth sort of aimlessly yet directedly, does evoke this classpect intentionally.)

I just realized I got to the end of this post without talking about Neon.

@nihilistic-janitor and I named the aspect Neon because it's bright and obvious, yet literally a gas. It's one of the more literal names, since it is just Light But Windy, but I feel like it fits.

Where Light oftentimes blinding and scattershot, and Breath leading in all directions, Neon is a pinpointed alternative. A neon sign tells you where to go and why you need to be there. It combines knowledge and travel in a nicely neat way.

(Special thanks to @victis-stelar for the dual aspect icons!)

Please send in more asks! I can do ones about specific Classpects, Classes, Aspects, or meta stuff, like the dual system or how classpecting works with player-fused Sprites.

CLASSPECT POKERAP: 1/5184 COMPLETED /j

[girlbowser]

is the medigo mod being updated or is it finished? and is there somewhere i should take my questions for that? :)

the megido mod basically died when hades ii was announced. :(

on the bright side, we got all the beta kids in, and all the aspect icons! i don't think the mod is unplayable by any means. we just never got far enough to do anything much story-wise.

but that's not to say that the mod meant nothing!!! i met tons of cool artists through the project, got a nod from casey mongillo calling it "COOL" lmfao, made some seriously important strides in the hades modding community...

and most importantly, a lot of the story beats i had for damara i ended up reusing in the prologue of Pesterquest Rewritten.

i've wanted to tell her story for a long, long time, and cutting out the gameplay modding and just telling a goddamn story.,,, well! i think the results speak for themselves. :3

i guess this is a bit of a post-mortem?

if you want to pick up the mod yourself, honestly, like. go for it. recruit some artists, find people who can draw in the hades style. find 3d modellers, too. and i can contribute some knowledge/my existing code, but yeah, like. the idea isn't copyrighted. (twice over lmao, i don't own hades or homestuck.) have fun with it.

mod your games people!!!!!!

What's your hot take about doom?

so above is a link to a prior post talking about the Doom aspect, but the meat of my analyses on Doom is on my Classpecting FAQ archive, as well as on erijancentral.com/search/doom. If you're browsing my blog on its main domain (even on mobile, i have a custom browser view) you'll be able to access the main ErijanCentral website for the Classpecting Search Engine!

Anyway, yeah. Doom is -- it's new life after a forest fire. It's survival after devastation. It's the climate apocalypse and perseverance in its face.

Honestly I think my hottest Doom take is that Doomguy isn't Doom, he's a Time player???? Because of his themes of legacy and loops and music. (Doom music is ICONIC AS HELL, you cannot argue with that.)

That first post I linked talks about Doom in relation to queerness, but it does mostly assume that you know that the Life aspect has strong ties to, like, the idea of comphet. (See goddamn Jane Crocker, see the Batterwitch being the Ideal Housewife, see, uh, yeah.) And so Doom, as its inverse, has strong vibes of the other way around.

I think the doom aspect is neat, basically. :3

shoutouts to @notable-phlyarologist for cocreating the invite link au with me. or well. creating creating it. and then i just sorta took it and ran with it in various directions. AUGH THE INPOURING OF SUPPORT FOR IT. it makes me over-fuckin-joyed

invite link fanart for @classpectpokerap lovingly crunched up by tumblr's strange image compression (also the trickster wifebeater bit is from discord user jaderezi appreciator)

[girlbowser]

I did the math and for Homesturdle, the best starting word out of the alternia and beforus trolls is Eridan. Every answer can be gotten within three moves and the majority (20/36) can be gotten on the second one. Also pesterquest rewritten is fun to read, so thanks.

hell yeah.

one day i need to go back and update the erijancentral site. a ton of it is suuuper amateur looking, and it's pretty out of date wrt my current projects. (pqr isn't even listed, in the "games" tab.)

part of me still thinks i'll eventually make homesturdle+ but i dont wanna reset the streaks, which would be the case if i updated it

anyway yeah glad you're enjoying my projects :) check out my ao3 too, bro-coded's been my project focus for the last bit

[girlbowser]

ok so question is the alpha discord homestuck fic discontinued?

nope! you just reminded me that i wrote a huge section from chapter 5 and then never did anything with it

full version coming When I Remember To Finish It Lmao

[girlbowser]

SO SO SO SO HYPED THAT THIS IS DONE OMFG!!!!!!!!! Everyone PLEASE go follow this blog, they absolutely artfully canonized the dual classpects into fantastic sigils.

I guess now I have no choice but to make that old "canon duals" post, huh? Hehehe

Seriously seriously thank you for your work. You have kept the erijancentral dual classpects alive. (For those of you interested in learning more, view my blog (not the dash version) in browser (not the app) on mobile or PC!!!)

My current charts of dual aspects, will update as I go along :D Feel free to use any of them for anything you’d like! Dual classpect names from https://www.erijancentral.com/

[girlbowser]

hello! so sorry, but mspfa is offline rn, is there another way i can read escal8?

ESCAL8 is also crossposted on Spacebattles!

[girlbowser]

it might just be me, but whenever i try to go to erijancentral, firefox detects a potential security risk

that's because i didn't pay my bill LOL

so now it redirects to a blank page...

i didn't know people actually used the site!!! it is currently down but send me another ask if you actually use it... i may reinstate the site if so
