Any baseless headcanons?

Through virtue of sheer probability, probably lots? I’m bound to be wrong about some stuff, and figuring out whether my guesses are grounded or baseless is part of the fun.

Do I have headcanons that are just for fun, because I find them appealing, with absolutely no aims to speculate with regards to how they fit in canon? Sure.
I prefer to keep them to myself more often than not, though. Not cause there’s anything wrong with sharing them–I just keep really busy talking about canon stuff. And it’d be likely to make things more confusing. 

I’m looking at the God Tier color palettes, and a thought just hit me – What about a link of Doom and Hope? It sounds dumb, but I can justify it – Doom can mean a general pessimism, or even just falling foul on circumstance, Hope being near the opposite, the name suggesting as much? IMO, a Doom player would see things for the worst, possibly giving up, whereas a Hope player would say “We can get through this!” I mean, I’m just going by colors, but that uproots literally anything that’s been set?

It’s the [Hope <-> Doom] Anon, again !! //// The other
pairings would be like this, based on colors: [Space <-> Time],
[Light <-> Breath], [Rage <-> Blood], [Life <-> Void]
and [Mind <-> Heart]

I don’t disagree with the links drawn because I think all the Aspects are interrelated to some extent, but the homestuck extended zodiac already provided canonical confirmation that Hope/Rage and Life/Doom were the “complementary Aspects”, so the actual argument seems rather moot to me.

I think we’re far past the point of debating what the pairs actually are, but that doesn’t mean we can’t draw links between non-paired Aspects, if that makes sense.

for the archetypes and class thing, what about the other 6? like I’m the Explorer but on your lists I don’t know where that would fit XD

I’m not sure I understand the question, sorry. What other 6?

If you mean 6 classes, each Archetype corresponds to two Classes.
You can think of Classes as different “versions” of the Archetype, with the same rough powersets that are simply deployed differently. Or at least, that’s how I think of it.

Does that help?

i LOVE your articles about homestuck’s mythos. i love your way of thinking about things, your grasp of the narrative and your depth of thought! is there a place you go to talk about these things with people like you? i want to hang out there lol

1) Aw jeez, thanks!

2) I’m mostly around on the Discord channel dedicated to my Youtube channel (Patron or Patron-invitee only), and in the Hiveswap reddit’s Discord where I’m a mod.

you implied dirk would eventually remember the game over timeline along with terezi and davepeta, I’d like to know why you think he specifically would

Oh, no. All I was alluding to was that Mind and Heart powers in general both seem to be linked to alt-universe memories. I kind of already believe this about Dirk, since I suspect he correctly subconsciously intuited Jane’s other name, Anna.

Since Dirk has Heart powers, I just mean he has the idea of Heart to add to any potential fraymotif combination. Considering what Dave and Terezi were able to do together, literally who knows what the kids could accomplish by working together as they learn to use their powers to their fullest.
