Angels might as well be servants of LE, representing the worst of the Aspect of Hope – blind devotion and forsaking others in the name of one’s ideals – Eridan’s hinted to be influenced by them. Could they represent the cult of LE? And aren’t they blind, like LE himself? Eyes seem to be significant in Gnostic tradition. – With due respect, A

You might be right–though Jake being able to summon them makes it kind of murky, its not like they were presented in a very nice light then, either. I honestly don’t feel I have the angels “Figured Out”, and I’m not even quite sure I’m supposed to.
Jake’s arc is, after all, rather incomplete–his big showdown with Caliborn in the Masterpiece is still ahead of him.

Maybe we’ll learn more about angels in the future, or, frankly more likely at this point, i’m missing some gnostic myth or other source that contextualizes them really well. Hard to say.

to the “light is plot” discussion– yeah, and light is what makes you keep reading vs void being the fact that you could stop reading and nothing would really change. also, aranea interacts with the plot by KNOWING BASICALLY EVERYTHING? like, “sylph of light” translates to “exposition character” guys! she repairs holes in the plot, that’s why she’s inclined to ramble on and on and tell everyone around her (including the audience) stories.

yupssss

So ive seen a few people talking about how light is possibly the aspect of stories, and how the light players in homestuck were somewhat aware that they were in a story, vriska through literally interacting with the author, rose through insistence that they follow character arcs in a few scenes (I’m not entirely sure how Aranea would fit into this theory though). Just wanted to get your opinion on the whole thing since I️t sounded interesting. Hope you have a nice day!

The more I think about it, the more I agree with Tex Talk’s description of the Aspects as each relating to an element in narrative construction.

It’s been traditionally accepted that Light is the Aspect of narrative revelance/importance. The “Spotlight”, if you will. Tex argues that all the Aspects represent different elements of a story.

Light is plot relevance, while Void is plot irrelevance. He hasn’t done videos on every Aspect yet, but he has covered Rage, which he describes as plot Contrivance.

So I’d say all Aspects are an aspect of stories, in that they all describe different  parts of narrative construction that make a story whole. 

So then it’s not so much that Light is the aspect of stories, but that the fact that Homestuck is a story is one of the most important things about it. Indeed, characters like Vriska and Jasprose come by the closest to acknowledging and interacting with the author.

hey duelist I think joey is a breath player not light and reason is joey has not have any good luck before going to Alternia but has gotten trapped or stuck and needed to be saved so maid of breath. That and joey is john half sister it will connect them that and i think is genetics also is a factor for aspects like some times they have the same aspect of there dad or mom or what mixing those aspects will make together or a random aspect.( game and time)

Hey, thanks for the message!

I’m not sure about this, to be honest. If Joey were a breath player, I’d expect to see more Breath-related descriptions and dialogue surrounding her. So far, there’s a lot of Light and Life, but I haven’t seen much Breath yet. Feel free @ me with stuff.

Besides which, sure Joey’s related to John, but by that measure she could just as likely be a Space player, like Jade. I actually wouldn’t be shocked, to be honest? It’d require some recontextualizing, but I could see arguments that Space imagery is already there, what with the green sun and all that.

Her parents are also Jake, a Hope player, and if my guess about A. Claire is right, then a version of Jane, so a Life player. Or A.Claire could be someone else entirely, at which point she could be any Aspect and might be influencing Joey in ways we don’t understand yet.

My point is, there’s room for Joey to be related to players of lots of different Aspects, so I’m not sure I’d use that as a way to tell for sure.

2018 let’s all be kinder and more understanding and willing to accept mistakes in both ourselves and others. agree?

If I make a mistake it’s because I am a bad person.

untrue!! if you make a mistake it’s because you’re a human being and it’s completely unreasonable to expect perfection from a bundle of monkey impulses!! we’re all here to learn and grow and every day we disseminate new information and expand our worldviews!! even the universe is expanding!! we’re all in this together, so don’t decry yourself or anyone else as Bad and Beyond Help ❤️
