[Insert witty title here] |
|
Does Classpect confuse you? The endless series of titles and ranks, charting some unfathomable system that is wondrously complex, terribly complex, but overall just seems way too important to the story for something Hussie doesn’t seem willing to explain? Well good news! Under the tutelage of my friend and mentor bladekindEyewear, I have the learned the basics, and through spending way too much time thinking and writing about the classes and aspects, I have come up with working definitions and ideas behind them! So read on, and look at a few very well defended and defined ideas and theories behind them all.
This system was primarily developed by Homestuck, so reading the comic would be a great asset in understanding it, but by no means should a study be limited to fans of the comic. It would be very interesting to see a non-Homestuck get into the system.
It’s all under the cut. Questions, additions, theories, criticisms, compliments, and gifts are all well appreciated. Especially the gifts. But be warned: there are approximately 9,000 words here, and you are getting yourself into something big.
My friend here managed to make a giant post attempting to explain every aspect and every class in a couple detailed paragraphs each!
I’d probably have used different words, descriptions, and metaphors here and there (because I’m a perfectionist), explained more about role inversion, but instead of nitpicking I’ll hand it to you guys to keep around as a 90-95% accurate comprehensive reference. :D I’ll link it in the big theorylist I link to on my sidebar, too.

— The Cherubs’ Jujus —
Y’know, Caliborn and Calliope’s ‘uROBuROS’ and ‘UrobUros’ jujus COULD be Red and Green colored combinable halves of that wishing amulet from The Neverending Story.
Two mythological serpents, symmetrical, bite at the other’s tail. In the book, they form an oval, and are not intertwined. One serpent is white and one is black. Each has an eye to correspond to the color of the book’s print, red and green. It may be noted that the film version has the two snakes in an “Infinity Knot”, a kind of grief knot which looks like a more intricate variation of the figure “8” infinity symbol and another sign of ouroboros. The two snakes represent the dual nature of the two worlds, Fantasia (German: Phantásien) and Reality, but also the twin nature of their mutual creation and destruction. On the back of AURYN are these words:
“Do What You Will” (German: “Tu, was du willst”).
Ultimate Riddle tie-in much??? I mean, the inscription’s practically the answer to it! :D
uu: WHEN COMBINED. THE JUJUS BECOME THE MOST MAGIC THING EVER.
uu: THEY CAN MAKE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. AND EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. WILL MAGICALLY FALL INTO PLACE.wecansexy reblogged this (making me feel all warm inside), and added the obvious image for those who didn’t recall:
it all makes sense now.

Holy friggin’ damn.
One last thing, though I’m not sure it’s relevant: I recall another instance of a player encountering a legendary weapon, calling it a “legendary piece of shit”, and splitting it in two.
It looks like we were right! Pat yourselves on the back, everyone.
What? You disagree? Or didn’t you see what was flashing in those alchemization and combination gifs? Via vigilantpredator:
Haven’t you ever heard of the mythical snake biting its own tale?
Not that this tells us anything about exactly what the fuck it’s doing.
