On your most recent posts about sylphs you had an image of the archetype and details about it, could you link to where you got it please so we can see the others? Or could you post them please?

yeah its this a roundup of Carol Pearson’s updated Jungian archetypes, heres the pdf:

http://www.uiltexas.org/files/capitalconference/Twelve_Character_Archetypes.pdf

Far as I can tell, they line up roughly, with some areas of
overlap and some archetypes that seem to apply to one or two classes
simultaneously–usually Active/Passive pairs, notably.
But I’m
not exactly 100% sure the one is based on the other at the moment. It’s
close enough to be extremely useful to me, but messy enough that I’m
not inclined to call it literal canon.Also, it’s worth noting
Roleplay blurs the lines on the Class end. IE: When a player roleplays a
Rogue, they end up taking on traits/struggles associated with the
Lover. Rose and Tavros both do this at different points. Here’s a list of correspondences, as I see it:

Innocent-Page
Orphan-Knight
Lover-Rogue
Seeker-Thief

Warrior-Prince
Destroyer-Bard
Creator-Maid
Caregiver-Sylph

Sage-Mage, Seer
Magician-Heir, Witch
Ruler- Muse, Lord, weirdly the Witch kinda jives with some traits here too
Fool/Jester- Bard/Heir,
which is pretty odd too. But then, John and Gamzee are both explicitly
linked to fools and jesters quite notably, so as odd as it is, it
lingers.

What would you say the quest of the Sylph is?

i’m not sure I think of the classes as having “quests”, so much as symbolic motifs and core personality struggles.

I’d say the Sylph’s symbolic motif seems to be to embody the role of a fairy/elemental of their aspect. that can manifest as any member of the “fae”, ie: imaginary creatures. Vampires, demons, literal fairies, angels and the like. As for their personality struggles:

I think this captures the Sylph pretty succintly. Kanaya showcases the addiction to caretaking and codependence more, while Aranea tends to fall more into the Suffering Martyr angle (while we’re at it, so does Vriska), so yeah thats my take

-Wanshi is a precious kid, goddamn i love her. dunno what her class is at all but the Doom came through pretty well. i will protect her

-Charun’s probably a Maid of Rage?

They make all this art and stuff seemingly purely for their own amusement/benefit,

and the art’s pretty Ragey in itself. it invites skepticism and confusion, and even when they make “good” art, the Reader describes the experience as pure “what the fuck”. Pretty fitting Rage stuff.

-them stealing the tracker through Rage (manifest in azdaja and konyyl’s black feelings) suggests Rogue/Thief, but they do so specifically so they can make stuff with it later. Since Rogue would be the class that corresponds to Olives and every olive so far has outlaw imagery attached, I’m putting down the stealing tendency to that.

-finally, most importantly of all of course

-charun/cirava otp all years, step aside galora

In the Latest HS book AH said that Lil Cal ‘is choked full of troubled souls who have a history of influencing people in unfortunate ways’. What does that say about Bro and Gamzee?

it says they’re influenced by Lil Cal in unfortunate ways. Once upon a time i actually heavily doubted that premise, which is funny cause I did a complete 180 eventually. I’ve written quite a bit about how Lil Cal influences both of them (like in the gamzee videos and an up-coming video on lil cal specifically) so i dont rly feel the need to go over it here, but yeah its a nice explicit confirmation of stuff we suspected
