Autistic Classpecting part 3!!!! (Repost bc the tumblr app format is confusing and it marked it as mature somehow-)

This time somebody ACTUALLY requested!!! This time, I’ll be Classpecting Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony!!

I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies, I’ve never actually seen the show- :P

Personally, I believe that she’s a Sylph of Hope! :3

As for the Sylph part, sylphs heal their aspect, as well as through their aspect. Pinkie Pie shows this through trying to uplift the emotions of everyone around her, being pretty good at it! (Parties, so many parties.) Additionally, I believe a part of a Sylph’s journey is losing their aspect, and Pinkie Pie has moments in the show where she becomes nervous and reclusive, even doubtful of her and her friends’ abilities, which sounds a lot like a lack of hope!

As for Hope itself, it is represented by belief and positive emotions, and Pinkie pie also demonstrates a lot of those!! Hope players are described as being unflinching, unstoppable forces, who act in what they believe is right.

Overall, Pinkie Pie SCREAMS Sylph of Hope!! :3 Once again, if you’re here, thank you so much for reading!!

(And thank you to the person who suggested this!!!)

I LOVE YOU CALIBORN IM YOUR MOST DEVOTED FAN. ANYWAYS, IS LORD OF HOPE BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT OR WAT? (im a lord of hope obvssiieieieieieeeeee) (also hi calliope)

UU: hello to yoU, too!

UU: my, yoU are powerful!

UU: my brother can explain being a lord qUite a bit better than i can. instead, i will explain the hope aspect!

UU: hope can be explained partly as how we know it. a firm and Unwavering belief that things can improve, no matter the circUmstances, that helps one endUre and maintains the emotional well-being.

UU: hope extends into ensUring a timeline, altering the trajectory of a journey, and into belief!

UU: hope players can lend themselves a boost or lend others strength throUgh the power of their belief! it is an incredible and ephemeral aspect.

UU: this can lead to illUsions, and false beliefs. that is why the best parts of the rage aspect, the path of the painfUl trUth, balance out hope when it corrUpts. the reality-altering power of hope can become dangeroUs...a timeline that killed dirk's bro and jane as well involved the exploitation of jake's powers.

UU: and then there is what happens when hope is Utterly destroyed...that resUlts in the destrUction of lives as well. life and hope are not opposites, bUt the realities and harsh coUrse of life makes it freqUently clash with hope.

UU: if yoU know a life player, this may reflect in their relationship with yoU.

UU: take care as a lord of hope, player. it is a great deal of power; the ability to alter belief and illUsion can extend into reality at that level, perhaps going as far as to create a world...

uu: A WORTHY OPPONENT. WHO KNOWS THAT I AM THE SuPERIOR. IT IS GOOD. TO MEET SuCH A DEVOTED FAN. ARE YOu ALSO A RED CHERuB? THAT WOuLD BE INTERESTING. I HAVE NEVER MET OTHERS LIKE ME.

uu: AND YOuR CLASSPECT IS INDEED BEAuTIFUL AND PERFECT. SO MuCH SO THAT I CANNOT PERMIT YOu TO INTEFERE WITH MY GOALS.

uu: THE LORD CONQuERS. TAKES IT ALL. IS ALREADY HERE. IT IS THE PERFECT CLASSPECT. IT ABSORBS SOME OF THE STRONGEST PARTS OF OTHER CLASSPECTS. TO CREATE. TO DESTROY. TO TAKE. TO CONTROL. ALL OF THESE ARE WITHIN THE REACH OF A LORD. THEY ARE WITHIN THE GRASP OF MYSELF IN MANY A TIMELINE.

uu: A MAID CAN HAVE THEIR CAKE. A THIEF CAN TAKE THAT CAKE. A LORD CAN HAVE THAT CAKE AND EAT IT TOO BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS HIS CAKE. AND BY CAKE I MEAN YOuR ASPECT. I MEAN TIME. IS MINE. AND I WISH I HAD SOME CAKE RIGHT NOW. WHY IS THERE NO MORE CAKE IN THIS WRETCHED BuNKER.

uu: HOPE REPRESENTS AMBITION. DO YOu THINK. I WOuLD LET A RIVAL FLOuRISH? AND RISK LOSING EVERYTHING. THAT MAKES ME A CANDIDATE TO RuLE ALL OF TIME? WHILE SOMEONE ELSE. RuNS WITH ALL THE AMBITION. AND THE POWER TO WARP REALITY BY BEING AN OPTIMIST?

uu: HOPE IS AN EXCELLENT ASPECT. LIKE JAKE HAS. I WOuLD OFFER TO BE YOuR PATRON MANBRO. BuT THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE LORD.

uu: WE SHALL DuEL AT SuNSET.

uu: ...SHIT.

uu: I AM STuCK HERE. THAT FuCKING SuCKS. HOW AM I SuPPOSED TO DEFEAT ALL THESE ASKERS AND ANONS. WHO THREATEN MY THRONE. WITH THEIR ANNOYINGLY VIABLE CLASSPECTS?

uu: CALLIOPE. FREE ME AT ONCE.

UU: not if yoU are going to Use that to attack people! at least free me, if yoU are going to do that!

Alright then! How about classpecting the album "A Kiss for the Whole World" by Enter Shikari? (Though you already did two songs from it, i'm curious about the rest.)

This album proved difficult to classpect because every aspect dichotomy seemed to exist within it throughout the various songs. There's Space/Time in mentions of death and rebirth, Void/Light in truth versus lies, Breath/Blood in freedom and community, Life/Doom in overcoming oppressive misfortune, Mind/Heart in hypnotism and a lack of identity, and finally Hope/Rage in optimism and a willingness to fight back.

The overarching story appears to be one of pushing back against an oppressive, negative reality through optimism and perseverance. Positive emotion defines the protagonist's identity and allows them to break free from imprisonment in a blaze of glory. On the other side of things, this character is desperate. They feel they do not know who they are and may be forever trapped by situations out of their control. Halfway through the album they appear to suffer a significant crisis of identity.

The overall instrumental sound of the album is one of desperate triumph. It is joyous and chaotic.

Taking all of the above into account, I've decided that the protagonist of the album is likely a Rogue of Hope that becomes a Knight of Rage. Either they were meant to be a Rogue of Hope and inverted into a Knight of Rage during a moment of crisis, or, as most classpects do, they were destined to be a Knight of Rage and simply began their journey as their inverse.

At the start of the story, the main character comes across as an optimistic rebel, fighting for good against all odds. This is very much in line with the Rogue class, which steals their aspect with the goal of helping others. Likewise, they are fiery and driven by their positive emotions, with emphasis on concepts like: rebirth, truth, joyful community, and triumph. These concepts on their own come across as separate aspects, but together are Hope.

Halfway through the album, the story takes a darker shift, focusing on mental manipulation, despair, and fighting back even at the loss of your own identity. This to me rings of inversion, where the character is either discovering their true path or choosing to take a new one due to necessity. Their crisis is one of Heart/Mind, identity versus introspection. However, the character themself is not a Heart or Mind player. Rather, it seems the Heart/Mind within them is being influenced by an outside source. The antagonist of the story, the enemy that has put them in the situation they're fighting against, may be a Lord of Mind.

During this crisis of identity, the protagonist begins to act as a Knight of Rage. Throwing aside the mantle of the reckless rebel, they are instead the determined warrior, ready to make personal sacrifices to change the system they are trapped in. Again the themes of other aspects arise, this time coalescing to form the Rage aspect. Rebirth now means inversion into a new self, truth is rebellion against lies, freedom comes from violently breaking out of their chains, and a will to overcome is driven by their anger at injustice.

The story of this album could also be viewed as a Homestuck Sburb campaign, with the Rogue/Knight as the leader and the Lord of Mind the final boss, a Lord English equivalent. In this case, the Rogue/Knight would likely be in a romantic relationship with a Breath/Blood player, possibly a Maid of Blood. The Maid of Blood would specifically be the subject of the song "Dead Wood" and would be the character supplying the Breath themes in songs like "Leap into the Lightning".

Hope this helps! I will post the classpect card for the album shortly.

Bill Cipher: Lord of Hope (the homestuck classpect)

explanation for why I picked this classpect for him under the cut

First of all, a brief note on how I interpret classpects: I think classpect is heavily influenced by one's narrative role in a story. It's influenced by personality too, of course, but someone with the exact same personality could have a completely different classpect depending on how the story uses them.

Lord is an extremely powerful class reserved for the big-bad in homestuck. It means having unimaginable amounts of control over your aspect (which here is Hope). It's also a volatile, destructive, and self-serving class. It's also the mirror and opposite of the Muse class, which is equally powerful, but wielded passively for the benefit of others, often using methods more like setting up all the components of a rube goldberg machine behind the scenes, rather than the Lord's preferred method of steamrolling over things whenever possible.

Second note on my classpecting philosophy: Each aspect has an opposite, and I think these aspect pairs meaningfully influence each other by virtue of being on opposite ends of a continuum. You might even say they're opposite sides of the same concept.

Hope is the aspect of imagination, limitless possibilities, belief, and the literal meaning as well. It also has a ton of religious undertones. Its opposite aspect is Rage, which, other than the literal meaning, is all about doubt, skepticism, tearing down facades, and seeking the truth at all costs. It carries a deep disdain for the unfounded and the sugar-coated. Instead of living in a world of fanciful ideas, it cares about pushing past anything it sees as substance-less to uncover the way things really are, no matter how ugly the truth might be. They both need each other--without Hope, Rage becomes misery. Without Rage, Hope becomes completely disconnected from reality.

Which brings me to Bill. On the Hope-Rage spectrum, he's leaned so absurdly far towards Hope that he's convinced himself Rage doesn't even exist. In his reddit AMA, he literally says "lie until what you want to be true becomes true. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore." I can't think of a better encapsulation of what it means to push the Hope aspect to its absolute extreme. He believes so much in the power of belief that he simply ignores any truths he doesn't like.

He embodies the Hope aspect in many other ways, too. Originally he was going to be more of a morally-neutral trickster character, whose whole purpose was just to show up randomly in Dipper's dreams and rattle off wild statements of questionable truth and conspiracy theories at him. The kind of things that people hope are true (sometimes to make the world seem more exciting and magical, sometimes for bigoted reasons, you know how it is with conspiracy theories), but the point is: Bill retains some of this in his canon personality. He tells Ford in the journal that the moon landing was fake. When he first meets Gideon, he says the whole "reality is an illusion" thing. He delights in sharing these kinds of things with people, and yeah, it's to fuck with them, but there's still something to be said about the fact that he accomplishes this through the use of things that exist as uncertain possibilities in people's minds, and things that some people have a strong belief in and/or hope to find proof of. He's wielding Hope as a tool, because that's when he's in his element.

Bill also preys on people's hopes and dreams, appearing to people literally inside their heads, and existing mainly in dreams and minds for billions of years--a place where you really can create anything you can imagine. He uses Ford's hopes of accomplishing something meaningful to get him to create a doomsday device. He also has Ford practically worshiping him, calling him a Muse with a capital M, calling his presence 'divine intervention'... the religious themes that often go hand-in-hand with the Hope aspect are definitely present. Of course a Lord would wield the Hope aspect to give himself worshipers who practically see him as a god.

And, speaking of doomsday devices, Weirdmageddon is the exactly what would happen in a world where the Hope aspect ran rampant without any laws or restrictions or concrete truths. In the codes of Journal 3, Bill says, "why should time only move forward, why must cause precede effect, who voted on the laws of physics - rules are perversions against all will, that's why I'm about to rewrite the whole system buddy, and no one is going to stop me."

We also get some insight into Bill's beliefs when we take a look as Mabel's dreambubble. He literally uses someone's hopes as a weapon against them, trapping her inside a twisted version of all the things that could've been true, if only the world was fueled by pure imagination, without any laws of physics or imperfect days or boring moments. Bill is so confident that this trap is infallible that he doesn't even bother to stop Dipper from trying to get her out once he makes it inside the dreambubble. Maybe the reason why Bill is so confident that this trap is inescapable is because he's pretty much trapped himself in a dreambubble of his own creation, where anything is possible and fantasy wins over reality every time (talking about the nightmare realm here), and was so intoxicated by the limitless lawlessness of the place that he spent billions of years trying to expand his little self-imposed prison to cover the rest of the multiverse, rather than ever stop to question himself or consider the consequences. Because with enough Hope, there are no consequences, only infinite possibilities limited only by your own imagination! ...right?

I could probably go on, but I think this is more than enough to support my case for Bill being a Lord of Hope. I'm always interested to hear about other classpect headcanons though!
