The Light Aspect & Rose/Kanaya 

Me: How did I end up with Light as an Aspect? Optimistic Duelist: Rose seeks the ability to understand things on a intellectual level, and lashes out emotionally when she’s unable to. Early Rose has a fundamentally uncomfortable relationship with reality, and escapes and challenges that reality by relying on the power of her ideas. Me: I didn’t ask to be called out like this.

yiffany: im about to do whats called a pro gamer move

"They gay and badass, the end"

It'd be cool if Roxy and Calliope where next.

Its because of content like this that I fell so in love with HS over the years. It was never just the amazing adventure that is Homestuck. It was also the fandom and everything they contributed to make this story so enjoyable to read again and again. The art, fan comics, stories, theories, explanations, lyricstucks, ect... its been a great ride.

“Rosemary is good.” -Coauthor of HS^2 I’m kidding. Your videos are great, and I have faith for the future of the sequel.

I really like the relationship analyses! Would totally be down for more!!

This is incredible, your analyzes are always so detailed, you never disappoint!

this video was really good and I'd love to see the rest of the relationships you mentioned analyzed!!!! but then again, more analysis by you is always welcome. the way classpects manifest within a character's arc is something I've always found extremely interesting, but I've never really thought about with regards to their relationships besides surface level stuff like... Kanaya is a moth drawn to Light.

Maybe do a bit about Moirails? Especially the Meowrails, but Kurloz and Mituna, Gamzee and Karkat, or even Eridan and Feferi, as unhealthy as those moiraillegiences are on some levels, and how that relates to Classpect.

Oh my god!!!!!!!! I need that callieroxy content in my life DESPERATELY. I really like how you touched on Kanaya's classpect because I do not see it talked about often, this video is very illuminating :)

I really like the idea of ​​analyzing relationships. But would it be interesting to analyze some toxic relationships too, to make a comparison? there are several in homestuck. Especially in the epilogues but not only.

I'm definitely interested in the other videos! This was short, sweet, and insightful.

This was pretty good! I like both objectively looking at the single aspect, as well as viewing it through how it effects the people within a singular or multiple relationships.

This is essentially a "why you should ship video" I love it.

I really enjoyed this style of video! it especially left me feeling a little more clear on Kanaya... I'd love to see more about specifically her connection to space, but perhaps not for a while, as you seem to have a lot of ideas on your plate. the relationship oriented videos you were talking about sound like a lot of fun, and I'll be super happy if they do get made!

please do more like this!! i nearly cried their relationship means so much to me

Yess more like this. Your analysis of the story enriches my enjoyment of it so.

YES! YES TO ALL OF THE RELARIONSHIPS YOU MRNTIONED AT THE END!!! The way you analized Rose and Kanaya's relationship was beautiful, to say the least. I eould like to know more abouth the "nature" of other relationships just like this. Thanks for the videos by the way, they sure are a good source of joy in these times!! :-)

Add Dave and Karkat to the mix and I'll totally watch all of them :3

I loved this video! Your stuff is always ~enlightening~. I'd really look forward to a Vriska and Terezi analysis as well!

THIS IS SO COOOOOL i love aspect videos, im looking forward to other relationship videos :D also as someone said id love to see how the classes and aspects relate to toxic/failed relationships as well

As someone who's favourite ship in homestuck is Rosemary, I love this video and you really pin pointed why their relationship works. A lot of ships in homestuck in general is really interesting to analyze so if you ever make more videos like this it would be really cool!

I would LOVE to see your other mentioned videos of this kind. honestly I have yet to watch a video from you that I disliked, and hearing your theories and analyses on homestuck is very entertaining

I love Rose and Kanaya so much this made me very happy. I very much hope you continue these relationship analysis stuff.

PLEASEEE MORE RELATIONSHIP ANALYSIS I LOVE IT SO MUCH

I really love this style so far! also hell yes I'd love a calliroxy episode!

Yes please continue. Loved this

Short and sweet, I enjoyed it!

I’m so glad you made this video!! I really loved your essay on light as a romantic motif and I’m especially looking forwards to the potential Roxy and Calliope video. I just really loved how well analysed it was. I have a lot to say when it comes to callie and roxy and I’ve waited for years for you to make that video!! And when it comes to this one I have no other words than rosemary is king and thank you for finding thematic reasons why

Oh my goodness! This relates to my long term qualms with Buddhism and any other existentially nihilistic philosophy based around the dissolution of self/being! While our ultimate end is inherently outside our control, the truly lawless and random perturbations of the void being the only eventuality of any true end to any particular instance of "thingness" or reality, opposing the non-relative "alternative" of nothingness, the actionable meaning is that there is no point in infinite enlightenment beyond personhood, corporeality, suffering, individuality, beingness, or whathaveyou, because there is no "outside" of all this: reality is reality, thingness is thingness, and your inherently relative nature to all other things cannot be escaped. The key is balance in how you approach your eternally(eternal until your entirely random and unforeseeable End) relative and ongoing existence. Thank you bunches! I never see this getting addressed! Well, I guess besides very abstractly in daoism.

I loved this video!!! Really interesting and great analysis!

-and homestuck relationship is good -yes. homestuck relationship, not HS^2 candy

I loved this and I'd really like to see more like it!

I did like it alot please do more!

Yes! Make those videos! This one was very good

THEN YIFFY AND DIRK HAPPENED

yes!!! more couple vids!!! hell yes!!!

Vriska and Terezi Those characters have a long time coming (even though they always insist there's nothing romantic in every version of Homestuck)

"Homestuck is good y'all" -the video just ends after that-

love this, i'd love to see more :]

It would be great if you continued with the mentioned follow-ups, yes!!

Super good man Loved it ^-^

Yeah nice idea! Would be up for more!

happy pride month!!! :D thank you for this

yesss absolutely do the other pairings!

Yessss!!! More please!

Rose and Kanaya are my favourite couple of all time so thank you for shedding some light (hehe) on their relationship. :)

Nice video! I watched utena...you should make more videos about it!

Yeah this style of video is great.

First, I love these videos.

Rose and Kanaya are low-key goals

When I hear the word "Homestuck" nostalgia burns in my heart

Hit me with that Roxy and Calliope video you beautiful bastard.

LIFE BOYS WHERE YOU AT

I'd watch whatever kind of analysis you want to make

Heck yeah! Give me aaallllll the relationship meta!!

I REALLY REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CALLIE AND ROXY ONE 🥺

I would very much like to see that calliroxy episode

SPOILERS FOR HOMESTUCK 2: Rose and Kanaya as a couple are cute and their talks really give a lot to think about. However, Rose's main problem in almost all Homestuck stories is that she overthinks, and her doubts make her do destructive things and be easy to be manipulated. Kanaya is like Rose's anchor to reality, but that can be stressful and we have seen the results in the Epilogues and Homestuck 2. Also, Rose's "enlightenment" can sometimes make her arrogant. She prefers alchemy over modern chemistry and wastes her time making alcohol, she spends a lot of the final part of Homestuck complaining about Jasprosesprite^2, she doesn't consider other solutions to the canon problem and manipulates John, she abandons Kanaya, and she basically cheated on Kanaya to create Yiffy.

Do a theory on the ms paint can adventures comics called Lucidstuck and Waterworks.

This styles very nice

This was a great video & subject, and I like all the ideas you have for future videos like it. BUT... and this has nothing to do with the content, I think your microphone might be faulty, the audio is a bit lower quality than usual.

admit it, this whole video was an excuse for you to gush about the rosemary ship

so what you're saying is....they complete each other

‘ bleed red ‘ *yes*

@optimisticDuelist you should do a video about Dave and Karkat

Will you ever review homestuck 2

i agree, put them out

Pls do videos on classes

Hey Optisimsit dueslit sorry if I miss spell but why is the meat timeline talking about higher self because I went into it and I don't know if the higher self can relate to homestuck aspects and class at all

I Love Kanaya! KANAYA!

Jumping around a bit, aren't you?

Bring em bro I am FOR EM

Quite one of the most healthy relationships in homestuck.

1:41 What did that firefly says in morse code?

It says you're "Director Emeritus" on the team list, are you taking a break or gone for good (or under an NDA and can't say)

wootwoot

yes this is me

Vriz and terezi!!

Optimistic Duelist, I have another inquiry I hope you can awnser: do you wish sburb was possible to create? I ask this because I hope it would be possible. P.S. a video on the rest of the relationships would be a very good idea.

Okay, it may be just me, but any other light aspect members who've read Homestuck find it funny rose can't make apple juice? Pragmatically she is the one person on the ship who can.

Do davekat!!!!!

I think even though it's not looking good rn, Rosemary is safe. She's one of the people working on hs2.

Please give Roxy and Callie, its all I want in life

You are the meti ntbg but for homestuck

Can you make an analysis of davekat It's just a request and also your videos are amazing keep up the good work!

you HAVE to pronounce the c in charting harder

Lets be real, you just want a excuse to talk about Rosemary and sound clever while doing so.
