Stormy: Create “Spider 8itch Of Alternia”

I honestly have nothing else to say about this so...Whatever I fucking love making shit :D

LIGHT IS LUCK, not knowledge

I don’t know about other people, but i’ve always seen the light aspect interpreted as the aspect of knowledge. I thought it made enough sense, Rose is a know it all that sees the future and Vriska… should have been able to make people unknowledgeable or something.

But, it makes so much more sense for light to be the aspect of luck, especially taking into account the new hsbc upd8s.

A common theme recently is the fact that Rose gets the future wrong. That implies either the malfunction of her powers, or the fact that she doesn’t see the future plain and simple, but the most probable path.

Again, idk if this was already commonly accepted or not, but it made me think (i don’t really remember a lot of homestuck, and i never even finished the main thing).

Vriska has always been more tied to luck than knowledge, and with the ability to steal the luck from other people, it’s so much more feasable for her to defy Rose’s predictions.

The fact that Rose’s seer powers are luck-based also makes the seer class more appealing. Since before, one could assume that the only thing they did was see the future, as that’s what Rose and Terezi both seemed to be doing.

I think the characters inside the comic itself don’t know what Rose’s classpect entails, except for maybe Rose herself. We all thought that she knew what was going to happen in [S] br8k, all the other characters probably thought so too, but she didn’t know, she was placing a bet against herself, and making it come to fruition.

Thief of light is a really cool conceot once you get that, Vriska steals bets, she doesn’t manipulate them, not directly, but her very existance contradicts the hopes and wishes for luck, for just this one thing to happen.

Anyways, these are just random thoughts about classpecting, i’d love to give my interpretation of classpects that we don’t see in the comic. I’m also excited to see what classpects the new gen of kids will have (omega kids? delta? idk).
