why did you pick your classpect

I chose the Time Aspect for myself just because I related a lot to the way it was described lol. I at first took a quiz, but I just didn't feel like the Classpect it gave me described me all that well. So I just went through each one and read them so I'd get a better feeling. I'm not sure what kind of Class I'd be. Personally I always related the most to the Seer's like Rose and Terezi, so I'd probably be a Seer of Time.

we got our classpect (mage of time) on a classpect test, we got time multiple times on other tests

then someone explained mage of time to us in detail and we were like "holy fuck thats us"

I have tons of diverse friends, so I got Blood. And, I don't have any friends outside, so there's Page.

I was initially against the whole idea of placing oneself on the class-aspect grid, after all, can an ordinary person have a mythical role? It's also a personality test centric way to identify, and the thought of being labeled is kinda scary!

I've placed myself as Seer of Void, aligning myself with knowledge and the multiplicity within darkness.

i classpected myself as a rogue of heart idk how long ago

the way i understand the heart aspect is that it is for me identity and emotion two things that i hold closely to myself i love labels i love constructing things that primarily function to represent myself these often come out in different ways such as this account its one small part of who i am that i express within the bounds of the forum

rogue is something i can identify with ever since i heard the word used in fiction typically i like the whole rebel thing that comes with the label and frankly being rebellious is a huge part of how my identity is allowed to be mine

also something about kitty cats and shipping just really resonate with me

I used to think I was a mage of light, but the more research and thought I put into it, I ended up deciding I was an heir of mind. Subtle differences especially between certain pairs like life hope or mind light can be hard to distinguis.

i took a few quizzes and got seer and mind, and the official hiveswap quiz said i have a mind aspect which tracks tbh as i heavily relate to the pyropes. mostly terezi. shes just like me in the sense that shes nothing like me because shes an alien troll that can taste colors. you understand.

I can't remember when I decided on it, but I'm a Mage of Mind. My logic is I'm generally very good at telling other people's minds, having a lot of psychology knowledge and whatnot, but as Mages suffer from their aspect themselves, it's fitting that I have trouble helping myself using this information. It's gotten so bad I've started getting it on quizzes and stuff.

I'm a Page of Space. For simplicity's sake, I'll add in my own brief descriptions of the way I perceive my class and aspect.

Page: Someone who starts out weak and extremely lacking in their aspect. This is made up for however in their incredible potential, needing to take a long journey before they can truly embrace their class and harness it for combat and for changing the narrative of their session's story. This aspect is all about growing as a person and fighting to persevere. 

Space: Kinda just physics. Like, the size of objects and how they relate to other objects, as well as their velocity. It's also about creation, space players play important parts in creating things and many tend to engage with creative hobbies. Also associated with maternity and nurturing.

When I was younger, I lived in a really tiny, dirty apartment, I was poor and didn't have many things. My room was small and cramped but I didn't feel comfortable anywhere else, either. Along with that, I really stagnated with art and writing; it's something I had a lot of fun with but I could never bring myself to hone in on my passion because I was depressed and lacked self motivation. Finally, while I desperately wanted to take care of my loved ones, I went through a lot of phases where it felt like I wasn't able to or didn't know how to do that.

Pages are those who really strive for their aspect. They want to embody it, but for some reason or another, whether it be things outside their control or personal issues, they can't reach their full potential and be who they want to be. I wanted more out of my life. I wanted a big room filled with things that made me happy, a big house I had pride in, somewhere I could invite my friends if they needed a safe place. I wanted to be able to create things; I wanted to be able to apply myself to art or writing and get better at it. I wanted to help others.

I've rambled a bit too much so to put it all simply, I wanted to be powerful enough to create a better world for myself and others, but was always stuck in a place where that felt so far out of reach.

But over the years, I've slowly realized my potential. I've realized just how much I can help the people I care about, I got out of a bad home situation and moved in with my girlfriend, and while it's still an ongoing thing, since moving, I've been able to create more things. Create more of a life for myself. I'm even working to get my Child Development Associate and started training at a daycare.

I think if I keep going long enough and reach my full potential, I can change peoples lives for the better like I've always wanted to. Help create a better world in small but meaningful ways. If I was in a sburb session and realized the point of the game, I would work really hard to give the story a happy ending, create a new world, and take care of the world we created. So, I think that I'd be a Page of Space.

I could go quite into a lot of detail (I won't dw haha) on why I chose what I did, but the short of it is...

I'm a seer of heart because I like to research people, and why they are the way they are, what makes them tick, for the sole purpose of knowing how to talk to them and help them with their problems :P

lots of research, though that might not appeal to the less light-inclined of us. initially id classpected myself as a mage of light since i kept getting light on the aspect quiz, but as i've grown older my aspect has changed with more introspection. it really is a hugely introspective process if you want to get one that isn't just a surface level vaguery of your movements through life and personal aesthetics.

a good way to start is just by digging up old quizzes-- there's one lying around on an old tumblr blog that uses the MBTI and enneagram, as much as those are... kind of bullshit pseudoscience they can clue you into some things. i'd also recommend reading up on anything particularly resonant-- i've read a stupid amount of writings on mages within homestuck. a good starter resource is dahniwitchoflight on tumblr, since they have analysis on pretty much every classpect combo. if you're still interested in diving deeper after that:

ouroborista's treatise on classpecting (https://ouroboros.cafe/articles/Treatise_on_Classpecting.pdf) is a very well-written document & argument towards certain class pairs & has some REALLY good stuff on how aspects and class interact with one another.

dewdrop's classpect brochure (https://www.reddit.com/r/althomestuck/comments/1kjmtuk/classpect_brochure_181_nicertolords_edition/) may eternally be a WIP (or maybe i'm just bad at using reddit) but is a super hard hitter re: classes. worth a readthrough and also has discrepancies if you're tied between two (or three, or four) classes.

ultimately, no one source is going to be perfect. don't take anyone too seriously, since at the end of the day its a mythological role for a video game in a comic, even if it can be used as a tool for introspection and social understanding. fundamentally, we construct our own canons, and it's best to come to your own conclusions if it really matters to you. look at the comic! try your own analysis! throw spaghetti at the wall! i personally understand maids & the breath aspect much better just by virtue of Really Liking the Crockerberts. have fun!

i'm realising i didn't really talk about myself that much in that last response, lol...

i don't know how i originally landed on mage. i think it was like... partly just a light sensitivity thing? as striderian as that is (eugh). i think i took a quiz way back and then poked around the 'net; pretty sure the aforementioned tumblr post with the enneagram assigned mage to INTP. i won't argue with it.

classpects can be very personal but ultimately i'm not built for socializing and have kind of been thrust into it by virtue of the american education system, alongside bearing witness to interpersonal strife more times than i can probably count. i'm also pretty invested in learning about what makes people tick (which made me temporarily consider mind) & i spend more time than i'd like to admit thinking about social structures. so... blood.

i think with mages it's a little imperative to not like your aspect, though. i do often wish i were a breath player, as much as they have their own issues (the obliviousness is really not something i need.) you can also see that with sollux. it's a begrudging acceptance of the thing. if i'm right, it has interesting implications for how meulin feels about herself.

im a mage of light! it is quite literally THE most obvious classpect possible for me because a core part of my personality is that I Am On A Need-To-Know Basis. I NEED TO KNOW. i'm very nosy and morbidly curious and i often do not like the things i learn. i love to learn but sometimes it feels bad!!!! also, i hate attention but also crave it. i want to be popular but without being known, which is an oxymoron. #suffering

I've gotten a lot of tests that tell me Im either a mage or a sylph (even a bit of prince sometimes), but honestly? I feel really close to the Maid class.

The fact that one relies on others at the start only for it to learn and be able to grow and no longer rely on others but yourself is relatable, I wish that could be my way in life.

the aspect its a less trickier one, Heart all the way, no matter how much I find interest in it, void still doesnt stick right to me u_u...

I've always had a hard time understanding and labeling myself, which paradoxically is in big part why I've landed on Void as my aspect! I tried taking multiple online tests a bit ago and they all gave me different results as a Heart-bound or Life-bound with which I did resonate somewhat but none felt as fitting as I found Void to be ^^
As for the Sylph class, I initially chose it because I like playing as healers in videogames lol but as I got more into classpecting I found myself pretty aptly described with how some people write about Sylphs and specially their struggles of learning to trust people on matters of their aspect and maintaining balance in between meddling too much (like I used to) and helping too little (like I'm stuck in now xP)

Mage of Heart here. Despite being the Knower of Heart... It's taken me a long while to come to this conclusion. Which, ironically, helps strengthen it for me. I've had a long journey with my gender amongst other things, and it's been, well, a very personal journey that I've gained knowledge through. I have an urge to go out and just... learn things, about why people do stuff, how people feel- anything, honestly! But I only settled on Mage of Heart recently, due to learning that just because my self isn't so consistent, it doesn't make me a bard or anything. I'm a Mage of Heart. And figuring it out filled me with... so much relief, that I can't help but feel it's true.

my classpect took a long time to figure out, i took a bunch of quizzes and did so much introspection and reading analyses and shit, i ended up settling on prince of time. i considered myself spacebound for a while because i just really like the space aspect, space in general (the nebula part of my chumhandle came from that) and theres a strong connection for me with creation and creativity, plus prince of space sounds sick as hell??

i didnt want to admit to myself i was timebound because time travel is SO lame compared to anything space could give me, theres a theory that princes ghost their opposite aspect so i held on to that to reason why i would be spacebound with all these timebound traits - connection to death (i literally collect dead things lmao), the colour red, music, just the vibes of time in general - but EVENTUALLY i was like okay i identify with time too much i cannot keep calling myself spacebound. rather anticlimactic but thats what happened lol

AS FOR CLASS im gonna be so honest i just thought prince sounded and looked cool. i still do, but the biggest reason i stuck with it is because destroying time, having this negative or maybe just complex relationship with the concept of time and all that is something i strongly identify with, i wont go into it because a lot of it is personal and some of it is rather silly but yeah! thats how i decided my classpect :33

for a long time, i considered myself to be a knight of light. this is because i got light as my aspect on the extended zodiac quiz multiple times and the knight class just seemed to fit with it for me, considering how important it is to me that myself and others know the correct information about things

however, i recently retook the extended zodiac quiz and got hope. this kinda bothered me at first, because i don't like change, even when it comes to something that is unimportant in the grand scheme of things, like what i get on a homestuck quiz. but after thinking about it for a bit, i realized it fits me even better than light! i am generally a chipper person, and i really want the world to be a better place someday. i hope strongly that things will improve for people when i see them down on their luck, and often do things to help the people who are (such as buying things for the homeless or trying unreasonably hard to cheer up an unhappy friend)

as for class, i still view myself as a knight. this is because i try quite hard to keep myself and others optimistic and happy, thus "defending hope". i think knight of hope is a pretty cool classpect, and i'm pretty happy that it's mine :)
