Well, even if I had the sense to put my aspect to words, I don't have much need to now -- Margot's done it better than I could've anyway! ^w^

Of course, my relationship to it is different, as a Maid. I've always been fascinated with its manifestations, and it's defined my life in as many ways as I can count, yet I've always lacked it within myself -- or, the ability to use it for myself. Cause of that, it took me quite a while to actually accept it as my aspect at all! I vacillated between Heart and Void for most of my time thinking about classpect, but Rage just kinda... drew me in.

I was also impeded by the fact that it's a pretty vague and contradictory aspect. Rage as performance, confusion, disbelief, defiance, resolve, and of course, anger are all valid ideas if you ask me. You just as often see people pose Rage as Truth to Hope's Falsehoods as you see people include Falsehoods as a part of Rage. Honestly, I think that contradiction in and of itself is quite Rage-y -- it's almost poetic how it has by far the most confusing and conflicting interpretations among classpecters. As if it's defying the roles we try to put upon it :3

(rage as performance is, in particular, pretty relevant to me, as someone who actually tidies and creates through a theatre in my spare time, lol. though most of rage's facets have played a role in my life in one way or another)

For a brief bit of (relative) seriousness, thank you Margot for sharing that story. :) As someone who's also going through that process of slowly improving and forming a better relationship with that which has hurt me, it's heartening to hear about another person finding her way through it. Even though classpects are, well, entirely made up, they're still valid tools for meaningful introspection. They serve the same role that other masks and roles have always played in understanding our own emotions, goals, and motivations!

(I wish I could've had a whole class about the commedia dell'arte, I only had it as a topic in a class... but I played Colombina in our brief exploration of it ^w^)
