It's confirmed in the Extended Zodiac that Xefros is a Rage Player and Dammed of Blood

I love your speculation. However, I don't think that classpects are going to have any effects on Hiveswap's plot, characters, or central themes, nor will we be able to infer anything about the classpect system by observing the main characters of Hiveswap. While we could assign classpects to Joey, Jude, Xefros, and Dammek based on how their personal motifs and how they develop as characters, that would be something more akin to how people assign classpects to characters from other series. Whatever hypothetical classpect these characters possess, it won't matter since it will not influence or govern their character in any degree (in much the same way Ash Ketchum's character would not be affected by being dubbed an Heir of Space)

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

That's a definite possibility, don't get me wrong! And I wouldn't really mind if it turns out to be the case. I just don't think it's the likelier one at the present moment. Mainly because of the FLARP manual and the Butler motif at the moment, since FLARP was used to introduce concepts important to Homestucks' classpects to begin with, and the Butler is one such motif. But that's part of what makes it so interesting. If it turns out you're right, then I have to reconsider whether Homestuck as an IP really puts as much emphasis on FLARP as I've been thinking it does. Or it becomes much clearer that Classpects are really only and exclusively a Sburb thing, that we can't expect to see in Non-Sburb Homestuck works going forward. Either way, we learn a lot about how the IP is going to evolve, and that's exciting in and of itself.

Tommorow, its time we open the door but will it be good? Only time will tell

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

That question is part of why I brought the Grandpa thing up! The fact that Hiveswap's attention to detail is so on point that it retains environmental storytelling details from Grandpa's house back in Act 3-4 gives me a lot of confidence that Hiveswap is going to be fantastic as far as expanding Homestuck's lore and less-documented subjects goes. And the most important thing for an adventure game is the lore and story, in a lot of ways. So yeah I'm not worried--Hiveswap's gonna be great :)

@goldchimera3764 6 лет назад

Excellent video, it's given me a lot of interesting things to think about as I obsessively refresh Steam tomorrow. I'm especially excited to find out some more about Grandpa, the guardians were some of the most fascinating characters in the comic to me just because we know so little about them for sure. Also, in addition to the point you made about Joey's aspect, she actually has the light symbol on her bedroom ceiling, so that definitely does seem to be a pretty solid guess.

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

Yep! I decided to forego using the Demo footage as it's low-quality and I'm not sure how WP feels about having it out there, but there's also the Lite-It game board she can use there that gives her a command to "Lite It" to make different symbols, including her own.

@goldchimera3764 6 лет назад

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one! btw, I think the light symbol is also visible in one of the trailers but whatever

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

Yeah the light symbol sun is in the skyline for Hiveswap, to my memory. Which doesn't relate DIRECTLY to Joey, but given how important the symbol has at the beginning/end of Homestuck, and how that particular depiction of the sun always comes with the connotations of good fortune and enlightenment that the Light aspect proper always carries--well. I think it's another good sign in favor of classpects in Hiveswap.

@goldchimera3764 6 лет назад

No, I just meant the symbol on the ceiling is visible in a trailer but yknow it hardly matters, the point stands just fine without it I guess

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

Oh! I thought that bit of lore came from the demo, too--hence why I didn't include it. I'd take a closer look at the trailer and make sure its there too but...well, we'll know soon enough whether theres merit to this stuff, haha :B

@plopermon 6 лет назад

I'm convinced that hiveswap will at least somehow connect to the extinction of the trolls, seeing as xefros and dammek are both rebels against the troll hierarchy a mere 25 years before the main 12 beta trolls are the only ones left

@lokitheskeleton4676 6 лет назад

Actually the main trolls are not the only one left before suburb there were a lot of trolls on alternia they just weren’t shown as vriska even feeds her lusus other trolls

@mr.gameandtime8432 6 лет назад

Xefros Tritoh is rage Dammek is blood Trizza Tethis is blood this is from the sighs they have

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

Yep! It's unveiled some exciting stuff about the nature of Aspect affinity, I think. I was right about Grandpa, The Neverending Story, and Xefros roleplaying a Knight, though ;)

@mr.gameandtime8432 6 лет назад

I think Xefros is a page but is roleplaying a Knight now we need joey aspect

@82cyan 6 лет назад

trizza tytheus is actually blood for her aspect, lol

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

Workin on a video on how the system likely works :B We've learned a lot about classpects, I'm excited!

@82cyan 6 лет назад

yea, now that we have all the symbols for the trolls, we know any of the new troll's classpects

@82cyan 6 лет назад

well not really class, but aspects and Derse/Prospit dreamers

@cynicalsupernova6082 6 лет назад

I always figured as far as aspects went Xefros would be Breath as it's similar to Zephyros, the god of wind and Dammek as a life player as the name roughly translates to Earth from what I've read. That being said I really liked the classpect analysis presented; doesn't matter how long or how many times you've read Homestuck, there's always something new to be learned/discussed

@justincase1582 6 лет назад

Xefros could also be time due to a quote in hiveswap when he raps

I recently got into Homestuck, finally after years of seeing various cosplay and boys swooning over Vriska, and wanting to dive into it, but never knowing when or how to start such a daunting task. However, channels like these that actually analyze the comic have been really informative and helpful for me. So thank you! I feel like I may have needed to wait until now, like Homestuck entered my life exactly when I was ready for and needed it the most. Good good shit. Good as hell videos. It also feels like hardly anyone on RU-vid actually set out to make editorial style analaysis videos on Homestuck, my personal favorite type of supplemental material relating to a work I'm getting really into, so again, this is really appreciated stuff. Thank you. Also I'm very curious as to how people will receive this game after all the shit everyone's gone through just to get it done and to get it out there, and on the other side, waiting for it to finally drop. I definitely joined this universe at an interesting time in its history lol

@lostsignal2503 6 лет назад

I only just found you, and I can't wait to see what you do! Enjoy hiveswap, friend!

@aradiati0n 6 лет назад

kermit is that you

@stratovolcano7813 6 лет назад

Great as always! I forgot to watch this when it came out so I already know what happens BUT you weren't really wrong about, like, anything. Joeys definately a light player :p

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

Thans! :D You know, I recently had a breakthrough and realized Anthy is a Witch of Light. I'd love to make classpect videos on her and utena once I get a video out there explaining the classpect system

@stratovolcano7813 6 лет назад

optimistic Duelist Oh omg... I look forward to it!!! :D

@nightazday7988 5 лет назад

Turns out Trizza is the blood aspect now to question what her class would be

@gamzee3610 6 лет назад

Gosh Hecking darn it here I was, enjoying my non-existent pasta, when I clicked on the link for the first article on Dirk and Jake, now here I am, reading all four, and enjoying them very much. Who are you to bring your good essay writing here, and can you give me some advice but only if you're interested.

@optimisticDuelist 6 лет назад

Glad to hear it! They're good kids. :B

@gamzee3610 6 лет назад

:p they are ^^
