why we’re not getting any more info on the aspects.

oh boy a theory. a theory that might annoy some people too. yay.



so, classpects can be quite a controversial topic in the homestuck community. some people are annoyed that the things we know about them aren’t canon, some are annoyed with theories that they don’t like, and some tend to be annoyed by the fact people tend to try and put themselves in these roles. all of these things are all in good fun so i don’t understand, especially with this one thing. aspects are meant to be abstract and not easy to put together. hear me out on this…



people still think were gonna get more info on classpects, and it really doesn’t look like were gonna. and i don’t really want to get anymore info either. i think the fandom has created an amazing way to distinguish people based on their personality, and actions.

the first thing id like to say is i think we might get more info on classes, but aspects are most likely done. (the mage and bard need some development honestly)

the aspects have been described as “abstract” by calliope. here in this conversation

“JADE: if its not the right time to wake up where im sleeping…

JADE: how long do i have to wait HERE in order to wake up?

CALLIOPE: the correlation between the passage of time in the furthest ring and any given physical location is tenuous.

CALLIOPE: the measurement of time here is inseparable from the physical passage through its knotted space.

CALLIOPE: those two aspects are closely woven together here, to such an extent that they are barely separable.

CALLIOPE: all aspects are.

JADE: really?

JADE: all of them??

CALLIOPE: yes.

JADE: i understand how this place has time and space of course…. even if they work together weirdly

JADE: but

JADE: i dont see any of the others

CALLIOPE: one doesn’t see abstractions.

CALLIOPE: not directly.

JADE: …

JADE: oh “



i personally think this is hussie telling us “hey guys, everyone sees the aspects differently. they’re very abstract concepts with very loose meanings. go nuts with them!” this wouldn’t be the first time he’s let us create our own cannon. hussie has never been…very open with details, most of the comic falls under reader interpretation when it comes to allot of things and i think the aspects are definitely one of those things (as i think the classes are to a certain extent)

also the comic sorta ended. and i don’t think the epilogue will explain everything about classpects to us

another reason i don’t think we’ll get anymore info on classpects is because of how big and important the ideas and theories that we use for the system have become in the fandom. its a pretty normal thing to just say “hey whats your classpect?” when talking to someone. not to mention all the aspect merch available and how the fandom uses said merch to show off their aspects



hussie gave us just the right amount of info (except when it comes to mages and bards >:l) to create an amazing system. and lets be honest, would you enjoy it if hussie came out with a bunch of new info that contradicts the info put forth already? like i wouldn’t like having to change my classpect. i like the one i have right now. i also don’t really think hussie is the person to put all the thinking that we have into classes and aspects unfortunately. i think he wanted us to create our own definitions.

now there are a few things that contradict this. like shelby and cohen having classpects (tho they could easily chose their classpects from their own interpretation). but honestly this is just a theory. and a stupid one at that
