im actually not even kidding about this since tagoras influence by the Mind aspect which is largely about controlling how you present yourself to the world, and logical choices, theres likely a societal pressure for him to put thought into appearances
im gonna just need you to talk to me abt a.) tagora and 2.) aspects always, RD, just sayin
but anyway yeah like. I’ve been COMPLETELY sold on the idea of an alternian equivalent to a Sun/Moon sign for trolls revolving around the given aspects for their own sign, and aspects that influence them via their caste.
Tagora is so fucking obviously Space/Mind, aside from a pretty obvious societal pressure on him as a midblood to be what Teals are supposed to be (and to not look like a lowblood, since midbloods are kind of neither high or low to the low or high), he’s undoubtedly obsessed with appearances and creating appearances. He’s got an ostentatious fucking mirror and bathroom for fucks sake, which is the loudest tell for that than anything, and while he’s a real smooth talker when he’s doing his bit, when something unexpected crops up it throws him off significantly (mildly when he sees youre an alien, majorly when Galekh shows up unannounced) which is suggestive of him throwing on a whole facade. like anyone is surprised.
there’s also something to be said about him being creative, too, crafting up a scam pretty fucking on the spot but also in creating a persona he can step into that he probably isn’t wholly naturally.
im in fucking LOVE with him
I think it’s quite telling-from how you’re describing him, anyway-that the way tagora thinks about keeping up appearances is focused on very traditionally space linked things–visual arts/fashion, and decorating or designing ones environment, which all space players seem to do a lot.
I hope you realize this means tagoras true calling in life is probably something like. Interior decor or something. Lmao
Edit; also hearing that was validating as fuck, thank u
a lot of you might not be able to understand. a lot of you can walk, you can run, you can jump, you can leave the house. you have goals and a future and hope for a future. i do not. i am trapped almost every day. my whole life is hospital after hospital and IV after IV and i am dying. i am dying and my life is short and i cannot go on adventures. i am too sick for adventures. pokemon was my adventure. pokemon is what i dream of almost every night pokemon is what kept me going pokemon music is what i listen to when the pain is the worst. i do not have many happy memories. i have memories of pokemon. i can run in pokemon. i can see people in pokemon. i can go places in pokemon. nobody makes fun of me for being sick in pokemon. pokemon never cared that i was dying
it was always pokemon, it has always been pokemon. a lot of you can say “just skip this game!” but my time is running out. i will not live for many more games. i will not live much longer. i want to play pokemon. i could not play pokemon go and now i cannot play this game. many of you can go on adventures for real in real life you can walk without worrying about collapsing or pain you can see people you can have jobs you can follow your dreams but my whole life is pain and waiting to die and being almost completely alone and pokemon is my escape. pokemon is my fantasy of a kinder world.
but pokemon does not give a shit about me. disabled trainers begged pokemon go to be more accessible and they saw that and made a brand new console game that is even less accessible with integration to a game that disabled people can hardly play. my hands shake my heart is weak and motion controls hurt. they hurt so much. and the new switch games require a lot of motion controls. that pokemon go steady swipe? that hurts too. my arms shake. i shake. my heart is so weak that i fainted multiple times every time i tried to play skyward sword. i could never beat it. i could never played it. it made my heart hurt and i would frequently faint. i wanted to play it and it absolutely crushed me. i am not a priority. pokemon go was explicitly made less accessible despite international outcry from disability activists and was never patched. disabled trainers were ignored. and until pokemon comes out with a statement saying that accessibility is their priority with the new switch games i have no reason not to believe that i am either not going to be able to play it or am going to be at a major disadvantage because of being terminally ill
just like the rest of my life
I haven’t been moved by many of the criticisms I’d heard of the game but this, this cuts to the core. Really feeling that #FuckNintendo mood right now. I’m sorry, rune.
i honestly havent been able to play it yet, but i saw at least one “break” or “destroy” reference in a screenshot and he seems based on like, your Light Yagami (Death Note) and Lelouch (Code Geass) types in anime, who tend to be Royal/Destruction classes. So I’m inclined to think Prince or Bard.
Again though, pure guess. My instinct is to consider the “service” motif Knight roleplay too–Terezi was one of Homestuck’s most intense roleplayers in her emulation of Mindfang, after all.
But I haven’t seen a teal blood seem to roleplay much outside Terezi! Tagora’s the most substantial one we’ve seen directly yet short of Terezi herself, as cool as Latula’s two versions are. Since I’m not really sure how the class system on alternia is delegated to the different blood castes, I’m not entirely sure thats whats going on.
More to come when I actually get to play it but I’m busy getting this last gamzee video done. Should be switching focus to Hiveswap for a while after that, though.
