homestuck is known for its symmetry
so it wouldn’t be weird if
Joey – LIGHT PLAYER (active creator class i.e. MAID)
credit to sweet and precious @revolutionaryduelist
- her symbol is a star
- flashlight strifekind
- can read Alternian
- is a performance artist
- heals stuff (creator class confirmed)
Xefros – TIME PLAYER (passive exploiter class i.e. PAGE)
also credit to the wonderful, dear, sweet @revolutionaryduelist
- likes rapping
- has a lusus known for being slow
- time flavor text
- all rustblood characters in homestuck are time players
- gets pushed around
- has an idol
Jude – SPACE PLAYER (passive relocator class i.e. ROGUE)
- has a frickin space alien on his shirt
- may or may not have memorized star charts
- we don’t know much about him yet
- selfless like all canon rogues are (sacrificed his pigeons for Joey)
- literally relocated the marbles (good job btw)
Dammek – BREATH PLAYER (active destroyer class i.e. PRINCE)
- controls Xefros, destroying his dreams to be anything that’s not a butler
- really, Xef can’t go anywhere as long as he’s making him butler
- he’s leading a rebellion, so he has big dreams and motivation
- all canon bronzeblood trolls are breath players
- again, we don’t know much about him
- is an asshole like all canon princes
They could have the Aspects of the Beta kids but the Classes of the Alpha kids.
But what would it mean? What does this symbolize?
note: all classpect speculations for Jude and Dammek are vague and purely speculations. classpect posts for Xef and Joey can be found at @revolutionaryduelist‘s blog.
Ooooh this is the one concept that seems promising enough that I am pretty swayed to believe it. I have a different reading of Jude so far (writing a post about it because i haven’t been able to video edit yet actually) but I would be pretty dang happy if this turned out to be correct.
I’m gonna nitpick a little in that I don’t think Pages are Passive and don’t subscribe to the “Exploit” verb, and also I have to stick up for my boy Dirk who is not an asshole (any more than the other alphas, anyway) and catches too much flak for the stuff AR does.
But that’s just a matter of avoiding inconsistency in my own opinions so I don’t confuse people more than I already tend to. Love this post! 🙂
PS: Thanks for the mention!
