Your gateway to endless inspiration
Hello! I’m Homestuck Examination, and for a while now I have been doing Class and Aspect analysis stuff. With the advent of the Canon Aspect Quiz and some pretty interesting explanations of each Aspect, I decided to make a Class Quiz, which you can take following this link:
Ever since I made this Quiz, people have been asking me to go more in-depth about some of the Classpect Combinations, and until now I’ve been answering them separately- But then, given they just kept coming and repeated ones kept popping up in my Inbox I thought, what the hell? I may as well do every single one of them broadly and get it over with!
Below I’ll post links to analysis for each Class individually on its own, and a broad view over how each Class Pair would interact with each Aspect.
Creator Classes - Sylph / Maid - Aspect Analysis
Giver Classes - Knight / Page - Aspect Analysis
Visionary Classes - Seer / Mage - Aspect Analysis
Innovator Classes - Heir / Witch - Aspect Analysis
Taker Classes - Rogue / Thief - Aspect Analysis
Destroyer Classes - Bard / Prince - Aspect Analysis
Master Classes - Muse / Lord - Aspect Analysis
A foreword about this analysis, the pairings may not exactly match up your personal Headcanons, specially talking about the Knight/Page alignment and the Sylph/Maid and Heir/Witch pairings, but I do explain my reasoning in the analysis, and you should check this if you want a more in-depth analysis about the reasoning between these pairings and power ideas.
Furthermore, Classes sharing the same Verb are similar enough with their powers that they may be interchangeable- So what a Bard of Time can do, a Prince of Time likely can, and so on, so if you don’t exactly agree with my analysis, make sure to check the Passive/Active counterpart!
Hope my analysis helps you come to terms with your own Classpect, or think of fun interactions and things Players could do within a Session!
Kudos to @revolutionaryduelist for his amazing analysis of Homestuck as well as the little Class Cards, and to homestucking-girl for the base sprite I used for the Mage Class!

Additionally! If you haven’t been able to come up with your own Class and Aspect yet, feel free to check my Classpecting Guide on Patreon!
I wish there were still active blogs who'd classpect you when you'd send them an "about me" thing. Cause I can't figure out mine and it frustrates me so much. ( `ー´)

Classpects are used by the fans for many things, from describing other media, to describing the elements of existence, to describing the core or humans. This diversity made an interesting community with broad descriptions and applications for classpecting, where there isnt a situation you CANT classpect, but in this i see people getting lost in the sauce missing even the basics of what the titles are.
Classpects in homestuck originally was a system to give character hero titles similar to those seen in video games and those titles were designed to be flexible, to use the word blood and then pull on any connection of the word, to literal blood flowing through veins, to family and connections as can be seen with karkat. Describing something so broad and flexible is a fools errand but i can give key points to help you create an idea on what would or wouldn’t fit an class or aspect.
I can t give you THE ANSWER, because for the most part THE ANSWER is that the system is full of vague areas and topics that can overlap, that the titles are arbitrary and that going with the simplest and most direct connection leads you to the most canon or “correct” answer. the mspa reader is someone who sees something in nothing and thus a seer of void, when james roach plays party games with Andrew and friends, others become luckier and so james is titled heir of light by Andrew Hussie for that. The rules are lose and vague but I can give you ideas on how to use them, give you an idea on what this madness truly is and the ways you can describe stuff with it giving you a direction and hopefully inspiring more to give classpecting or titling things a shot, and from those titles draw more depth, meaning, connections, fun and so much more from that.
