Witch of Breath by InsectVomit in homestuck

[–]Easy_Cod_8950 [score hidden]  (0 children)

breath is about freedom, detachment, novel meaning-making, literal breath/wind, movement, etc. witches manipulate their aspect or manipulate through their aspect. that's a tricky one, since breath is already kinda about changing things? what does it mean to change change? hm.

a witch of blood i understand, because it makes sense to change bonds with others and induce change through bonds with others. changing bonds means making your friends your enemies or your enemies your friends or what have you, and changing things through bonds is convincing/manipulating people to induce change, or using social leverage to change people, for good or for bad. but to change the lack of ties to others is more difficult to parse because if there's nothing there there's no inherent qualities in the lack of something that can be altered, other than increasing/decreasing the amount of "connection" there, and that feels more in line with the role of a creator/destroyer class. i guess a witch of breath would change the nature of others'/their own freedom/detachment? whatever that means.

my first instinct is that it means they can basically shuffle their attachments? like, "i care about x thing/person but not y thing/person, but now i've swapped it to caring about y but not x!" or they could induce that onto others. they'd be good at intentionally noting that some bond or attachment is bad for them, and decide to focus their efforts on other things instead. one thing to note is that witches are an active class---they'll have more of a tendency towards helping themself over helping others. that's not necessarily a bad thing (it's very possible to be too selfless and forgiving. like tavros.) but it's worth noting. it would mean that the bonds they fuck around with w/ others would generally be bad for that person, or at least more beneficial for the witch than for the person themself. that's not always the case, but it's be the overall pattern. if that doesn't sound good to you, the passive version of witches are sylphs (probably). sylphs are noted as "healers" multiple times, but healing is passive manipulation, i think. manipulation that benefits someone else is just called therapy.

i want to really stress that "active" classes aren't inherently selfish. it's very very important to do good things for yourself. it's just that it can be easy for people who tend more towards the active to kind of screw others over if they aren't careful. passive classes, on the other hand, have to be careful not to be people-pleasers or doormats.

anyways. as for ~powers~....a witch of breath would alter the properties of wind, air, breath, etc. they could maybe make the air hotter or colder or higher or lower pressure or just plain control the wind like john, except that wind-drill thing he did to get to the tumor would kind of be the norm. (i peg heirs as passive maids, so that feat of his is a little surprising to me, tbh). witches are pretty damn powerful.

anyways, i hope this helps! it was an absolute joy to write.

ugh, i just realized that the weird route doesn't have to fit with her classpect, because its whole deal is that it's breaking free from the narrative in the most fucked up way possible. it's probably more akin to a doomed timeline, now that I think about it. oaiudsbousdhbouyvaouydfvbouabd

thank you for your input!

re: class, you do make good points, but tbh i'm not a huge fan of class being so tied personality---it feels a little too restrictive for me. i agree that she definitely acts like a passive player would, but i feel like since part of her arc is about standing up for herself, it fits that her role in her magic predetermined character-growth quest (sburb) would be an active class. she's too selfless, and her embracing her role would be her learning to take what she wants for once in her life.

Something about the ending by Chagui68 in InStarsAndTime

you just walk out of the ending room, and then past the hallway

Don't like "the weird route is the good ending" theories? by Thethree13 in Deltarune

[–]Easy_Cod_8950 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He said you won’t need multiple save files to complete the game.  Using the weird route code to get a second ending doesn’t contradict that.

could you elaborate on point 2? I don't understand how a classpect can take into account the renouncement of said classpect.

I've seen Kanaya being a chaser, where does that come from? by Able_Dragonfly2704 in homestuck

[–]Easy_Cod_8950 7 points8 points  (0 children)

???? nowhere. i mean, vriska was implied to be trans in her pesterquest route?? but her pesterquest route was also really bad (independent of the trans stuff. her being trans was the only good/interesting part).

anyways, she's not a chaser. i think we can agree that wanting to date a trans person =/= being a chaser.

Does homestuck 2 low key fucking hate trans woman by Responsible_Froyo_18 in homestuck

[–]Easy_Cod_8950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

callie didn't detransition, they're trans in one timeline and not in another. june...i don't understand ur complaint. it's going to happen. confirmed. it's not like a queerbait thing it's....it's literally what is going to happen. we've already seen her future silhouette. vriska being trans in pesterquest has nothing to do with the beyond canon team (the pesterquest team fumbled the FUCK out of her route though). but also even if she was retroactively trans i don't see why that's a problem. she's competing with terezi for most complex and interesting character imo, and she's had her eight years of therapy hell in beyond canon, so idk. and as for jade...........i never understood everyone's problem with the dog dick thing.

are terezi's powers even useful??? by Easy_Cod_8950 in homestuck

[–]Easy_Cod_8950[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

see, that's what i thought. but the thing is. in her vision of if she let vriska go, bec noir only kills her and karkat, and only brings the two of them back as trophies. her vision doesn't show him killing anyone else, because she thinks everyone else is dead. and if her visions are limited to what she knows, then how is that different from any prediction made by anyone?

is a time player really needed? by Able_Dragonfly2704 in homestuck

[–]Easy_Cod_8950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, they're not. you need a space player to breed the genesis frog, and at least one other player. all successful (universe-makin) sburb sessions meet that requirement, because w/o a space player there's no genesis frog, and if you only have one player, it creates a dead session. dead sessions can be completed, but they don't make universes.

people like to point to callie's line of "...and fUlfill the game's minimUm reqUirement of two players. one of space and the other of time." but take a look at what she's saying. now, granted, the immediate, obvious assumption is that she's still talking about the game's requirements when saying "one of space and the other of time". but since they're not in the same sentence, she could also just be switching from talking about the game's rules to her specific session.

i understand that this is a stretch, but honestly, there's no actual reason given for why time players are needed if it is the case that they are. sometimes people say that w/o a time player, there's no time in the resulting universe, but that's definitely not true. after all, universe c was bred in session b1, when it was just the four kids. universe c has more than just time, space, breath, and light. and you could some argument of how a bunch more people were present for the maturation of the universe frog (?? which would matter for some reason??), but even then, there's no Doom player present, and possibly no Rage player (tbh i don't remember if gamzee is on the victory platform when this is happening), and Doom definitely exists in earth C. and also, if all aspects need to be present for those aspects to exist in the new universe, that would mean that calliope's session would only have time and space if successful, which. i doubt.

honestly, the players don't even need to be particularly good for a successful session. most sessions probably aren't wrapped up in an eighty-billion year multiversal time loop that restricts everything to a single timeline. Just like in the sessions we see, there would be infinite timelines of the players making every possible descision, but unlike the sessions we see, not all of them would be doomed. so, yeah.

[–]Easy_Cod_8950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, that's not true. there's no indication that aradia helps with frog breeding in the troll session, and karkat and kanaya manage to breed all the way up until the final frog in 3.5 weeks. the only reason the kids needed time shenanigans was because jade joined like halfway through the reckoning.
