#plus i gave classpects based off of like 10 sentences max and 1 hour of content that ran had gotten the short end of the stick from KFNQK

ALSO i reread your jackie and ran classpect analysis and holyyyyyy shit i am all kinds of inspired now. i feel like i haven’t been characterizing them quite right in past chapters which is a bit embarrassing djdnsmks but now i am more confident for future stuff
I EVEN MENTIONED RAN IN THE LAST FEW TAGS OF THE LAST ASK IS THIS PROPHECY.... but thats completely fair lmaoo tbf sometimes the og kids n trolls kind of dont align w the perceptions of their classes/aspects but thats bc theyre dumb teenagers and also sometimes classpects have to be analyzed a certain way so that like. real people can identify w them because fucking obviously none of us have powers LMAO so ultimately some symbolism gets lost and theres also some padding to make up for the fact that well.
hussie was Not thinking that hard abt his funky magic system. rage was only really made for gamzee originally, the life aspect was pretty much made with "normal girl next door" energies in mind, the friendsim trolls' aspects dont actually fit their characters in most cases and the true zodiac quiz was stuck together with a bunch of bullshit, the canonical explanations given often have problems with them (cough cough gendered classes cough cough), etc etc.
dont stress too hard about whether the characters youre writing fit their classpects a bunch, each person is different and with the way canon is set up its very easy to get stuck because ultimately, even though hs ran for so fucking long and the characters were accidentally fleshed out amazingly, it was an accident that it was so amazing. we may never know how a prince of hope would actually act because of eridans early death, the dancestors are all a bunch of jokes and meant to be unhealthy examples of their classpects, and for all we know, the characters could have all had different classpects were their lives to be different. we dont know if dave would still be a knight of time if he wasnt abused, if june would still be heir of breath if she had a worse home life, if aradia and tavros would have turned out different if they had better lives.
all that is basically just to say i think youre doing fine :] using their classpects as inspiration for where to take them is definitely going to turn out amazing, but dont beat yourself up if you stray from the path a little. it just makes them feel all the more real for them to have grown past the original plans lol
