I’m pretty sure I solved Homestuck’s Class System.
This is a masterpost for a series of essays that lay a case, strongly informed by the canon with screenshots and references, for the following things:
1) What every Passive/Active pair is.
2) What every Key Verb (IE: Destroy and Steal, the canon ones) is, and how those Key Verbs are paired together.
3) what Passive/Active even means exactly.
4) How the Passive/Active spectrum works.
In this masterpost, I make the case for the core philosophy that informs the entire Class system. I’m also posting and linking to the first essay, on the Destroy and Create verb pair. The other two essays are already written, and I’ll be posting them over the next two weeks!
They are available in their entireties for my Patrons, so if you can spare me a buck a month you can get these early if you decide you like them enough. Higher reward tiers will let you invite friends to the Discord so they can read them too!.
Feel free to @ me, reblog or send me an ask with your thoughts on these first two essays. There may be some things I can’t answer as they will be answered in later posts, but I might use those as inspiration for what teasers to release from sections of the next two essays over the course of the week.
You can also feel free to talk to me in the Hiveswap Discord where I moderate and cry about Homestuck. I’m very interested in seeing how my thoughts stand up to scrutiny, so don’t be shy!
