Hell yes, finally I get to nerd out about this. I was assigned my classpect by a friend back when I was first getting into Homestuck. I hadn't even read it yet, but I was very interested in the Aspects and Classes part of it, as a big fan of alchemy and mythology.

She assigned me a Witch of Rage, a title I've come to simply adore. Witches are manipulators of their aspect, changing it and reshaping it to their own will. Rage is the aspect of wrath and chaos, but also, revolution, skepticism, and madness. As opposition to the Hope aspect, it is also the domain of materialism, as opposed to utopianism. It's also related to theater, with how it connects to the Purple Bloods, with a lot of Dionysian-esque imagery.

It fit me like a glove, and continues to do so. Not to be corny, but ever since first being assigned it, I've kind of went thru a bit of an arc with it. I've became heavily invested in political theory, specially historical materialism. And even though that led me into becoming a [graduated!] historian (whose thesis was on Dionysus, btw), I've always been a bit of a theater kid, taking a class on Commedia dell'Arte (if you know what this means and is wondering, I played the Pentalone).

I will now open up in a public forum about mental health and how Homestuck classpecting helped me through a journey of self-improvement. Surely this won't backfire.

So, almost two years ago now, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I did so after years of struggling with it, not only on how it made me feel, but how it made me act. I was angry at everything and everyone, and I hated myself for it. I lashed out. I hurt people I cared about. Ever since starting medication and anger management, I've been doing much better. I still have bad days. I still get angry. But I'm doing better, and I want to continue improving, a little bit, everyday. I took my Rage, my madness and my wrath, and I harnessed It. It is a volatile force, and my control of It isn't perfect, but I'd like to think we're allies now. There are things worth getting enraged about. A time, and a place. Otherwise, though, I let It rest. And in turn, It lets me rest.

Whew, that was proly more than anyone bargained for lol. But yeah. Margot Kix, Witch of Rage, Derse Dreamer. That's me.
