#classpect bracket

[our-fav-hs-char]

Which is the cooler classpect?

[meraki-sunset]

Hey I actually was wondering if there is an alternate timeline where that Gray Blooded Karkat and Tavris actually got to live, or if that was just a what-if thing. Because I think it would be interesting if that means in that timeline everything is the same, but Tavris is alive along with Tavros (both being azure signs) and gray bloods are a thing.

In that case would that as well mean that gray bloods are a separate blood caste or would they just be identified under the lime blood bracket like how Mutants are?

Also, one last question. Can all the sprites choose which godtiers they use the powers of? (Erisol being a Prince of Doom and Mage of Hope, Arquius being a Prince of Void and Heir of Heart, etc)

I am just curious because I would love to make gray blood ocs and am curious if Tavris lived in another timeline since they’re one of my favorite underutilized/underdeveloped sprites!

Hi, well those are all just what-if scenarios. when it comes to Tavris, i made a random timeline where they could live. the details about the silverblood caste are in it's own post.

as for the sprites, only davepeta can switch claspects, the otherones are definitive. i'll link the posts down.

SPRITES'S CLASSPECT - EXTRA

[understandableparadox]

Fendir Sanqui

fendir's a bronzeblood adventurer who idolizes troll indiana jones! hes got a pretty large collection of artifacts and loves learning about history. he also really likes myths and legends!! hes a very emotional guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, though he often (unintentionally) ignores the emotions of others. he's very very silly.

Altair Tascii

Altair is a Tealblood troll who lived on Alternia long before Karkat and his friends. He's a nerd who's very good with computers. His trolltag is genericCryptographer, and he uses a Hexadecimal themed quirk, and he speaks "in A CAlcul8ED FAshion, so as 2 AppEAr 2 say 2 much, when hE ACtually is kEEping HEXACtly what he wants 2 B sECret, sECret"

He's a bit pretentious and controlling, but many of his friends still trust him. He has a moirail and a matesprit, the second of whom has trolltag AT and initals GC. He's 8 sweeps old, and his classpect is Mage of Light. People often remark that he seems to talk and act like he's a computer, and there's a reason behind that... (no spoilers!)

Friends with PL (another troll I submitted to this bracket). Altair is PL's server player.

His ancestor, the HEXC0DEr, invented Trollian, ~ATH, and the troll internet.

Technically originally meant to be my self-insert, but ended up as his own character.

Has photographic memory and can do complex maths really really fast.

Strife Specibus: Keyboardkind. Fetch Modus: Hex-hash modus. Lusus: Hexapede

Closeted Transfem who has barely realised it yet.

Patch 5.0.0

And with this, the new version of Sburb (or whatever you call it) is live! Please update your game to this patch at your soonest convenience, because we do not have the capacity to handle old glitches. Migrate your Sessions to the 5.0.0, because we our old servers are decaying and if you do not want your Session to be erased from existence completely and retroactively, you need to be on this patch.

Known issues with migration: Some Quests reset or disappear completely with their NPCs. Classpect reassignment. Level reset. Prototyping scramble (Reassignment of prototyped properties between Players). Inability to use certain weapons because their strife specibus tag got changed.

Patch properties:

Prototyping: You no longer need to track your pre-Entry and post-Entry prototyping. First prototyping in each Sprite imbues the moon, the second affects only the sprite itself. Sentient creatures (living or otherwise) are no longer eligible for First Prototyping (thus putting an end to sprite^64+s multikins, because the code did not like that).

Prototyping, pt. 2: Frogs, First Guardians, neutrinos, non-physical entities, Charge entities, databases, and Aspect entities are no longer eligible for Prototyping at all. SkaiaNet reserves the right to remove eligibility for Prototyping to pieces of media and culture in the future without announcing it beforehand in order to maintain integrity and sensibility of the game and balanced gameplay. Itemised list of Prototyping ineligible objects and subjects will be accessible.

Code: General overhaul of inner math and handling of small (e-50+) and big (e+50) numbers. Furthermore, the surface code levels no longer needs physical properties to work, so you do not have to physically haul around brackets and commas. (That's probably more interesting for me than for you, but anyway, you can stop sending brackets now.)

Land generation: The possible Land Themes have been revisited. Most of the favorites of our Graphic Department have been permanently removed, with the honorable exception of Pots, which will now generate structures similar to Crockery.

All Lands will now generate as Land Of [Theme/Concept] And [Material/Structure], except for the Breeding Grounds which will always be Land Of [Material/Structure] And Frogs.

Each possible Land Theme now has an assigned tag whether it is Material, Structure, Theme or Concept. Frogs are tagged as Theme, which I am sure will be appreciated by anyone who had to deal with Consort settlements being build out of gigantic frog carcasses.

Land Variant Themes: Each Material/Structure Land Theme now gets two random modifiers out of six: Large (10% chance), Ruined (10% chance), Floating (5 % chance), Plentiful (5% chance), Colorful (5% chance), and Classic (65 % chance). These modifiers are invisible and only affects Land generation. Therefore you have 42.25% probability of having a "classic" Land, 57.75% chance that it will generate in its alternate variation. If your Land Theme generates two of the same modifiers, they do not add up, because we haven't figured out how to make floating stuff float more, and Colorful^2 gave yours truly a terrible headache upon testing.

Land generation: Internally Lands are now identifief by their generated number which is Session ID-PlayerNumber-LandTag1-LandTag2. Since no Player gets the same Land generated twice in on one session, this will solve a lot of problems.

Aspects: Aspects are receiving a cosmetic graphic overhaul and a large thematic overhaul. Aspects now have a pool of specific Aspect Abilities which anyone with the corresponding Aspect in their Classpect can use as long as they pass the conditions given by their Class.

Aspect Interpretation: For unified terminology and game balance, each Aspect has four possible interpretations AKA "stuff it does". You can specialize in one or two or generalize. Mastery of all four is obtainable by boring grinding. The interpretations are unofficially called: Literal, Lateral, Derived, and Elemental.

Aspect Names: With the thematic overhaul, some Aspects have been renamed to match better their visuals and also be more intuitive to use. These changes are: Rhyme -> Verse; Flow -> Roots; Law -> Chain; Stage -> Veil.

Classes: Classes are receiving an unifying overhaul in abilities. Each Class now has Class abilities which everyone with the corresponding Class in their Classpect can use, but its effect depends on their Aspect.

Dream Moons: The Revolution, Contra-Revolution, Fifth Game, and Usurper Questlines are now for once and for good only one per Moon.

Derse: You can no longer partake in a sexual act with the Dersites. For the record, you can't with Prospitians either, but that's never really been a problem.

Dersepite: No longer a thing, even in 1-Player Sessions. Goodbye, Dersepite, you shan't be missed.

Chapters: The game chapters (usually called stages) have been slightly reordered to be more intuitive, and also the connecting points have been de-cluttered and straightened, so now you should clearly know in which chapter you are, and where are you heading next. The chapers now go: Awakening -> Terraforming -> Reckoning -> Crystalizing -> Descending -> Ascending. [Aspect]ing has been fully merged with Ascending. Terraforming has been moved before Reckoning, because people generally try to tackle the Black King under-prepared. Descending has been moved as far back as possible, because feedback has been that everyone and their guardian units hate it, which, completely understandable. Reckoning still marks the end of the standard gameplay, from Crystalizing forward it's basically epilogue.

Accessibility: Besides improving the screen-reader and closed captions, the options menu now has Color Modes setting where you can pick your contrast and adjust color schemes display to suit your needs; there are pre-sets for the most common types of color-blindness. Screen-reader and text-to-speech still don't handle typing quirks. You have to ask your co-Players to stop.

Living Hell: Transfer to patch 5.0.0 isn't possible without general amnesty, so everyone stuck in Living Hell, regardless of their crimes, have been released. However, if you do not behave, LH still exists, and putting people there is actually rather easy.

Charges: Charge Influences no longer accumulate exponentially.

Charge Dormancy: Added Charge Dormancy value. Every game tick every Player’s every Charge Influence decreases by its respective Charge Dormancy. Charge Dormancy cannot be lower than zero. Some item tags have Charge Dormancy, they add up.

Grimdark, Angelight: As a result of Charge Dormancy being added, the Grimdark and Angelight Charges can be now dropped without dying.

[aortaobservatory]

hey! i just started classpect researching to better understand the system. do you pull any of your sources and understanding from homestuck canon itself? if so, how do you separate class influence from aspect influence from general character traits? i know that the characters/classpect system were catered to eachother, but do you have any thoughts? sorry if this doesnt make any sense

I love this question, I think this is one of my favorite questions I've ever received on this blog. Yes, I do pull a basic understanding of the classes and how they interact with the aspects from Homestuck canon! I try my best to keep my understanding and research of the classpecting system true to what is shown to us in canon and what comes from canon sources, with a little dash of what makes sense in real life. We are given canon explanations for the aspects from [The Extended Zodiac], so I pull my understanding of the aspects from the canon summaries that are given and what we are shown in Homestuck canon.

We are not given canon class explanations, so that area will always remain nebulous ranging from classpector to classpector (unless we suddenly are given canon explanations). As such, how I've been able to separate class from aspect from character traits in regards to canon is based almost entirely on my understanding of the aspects, then comparing two characters of the same class to see what is similar and what is not.

Karkat is a good example. At first glance, we can see he is an extremely angry character. He yells a lot, curses a lot, he's full of rage, and yet, he is not a Ragebound character. Why that is, has everything to do with what an aspect is. What does an aspect mean to a person, or what does it mean to have or be an aspect of something?

Ah, this became a long post. I'll put it under a read-more.

Aspect is the force that is most important in a person's life, whether lacking or abundant, whether good or bad, whether they want it or not.

Karkat is not Ragebound because Rage is not his driving force. [Rage as an aspect is about fighting and tearing down the system, rebellion, and discovering the truth.] It is activism and change. Karkat is a very stubborn and angry character, but the Rage aspect traits are not what drives him forward. In fact, Karkat is actually the antithesis of a Ragebound; he loves Alternia's empire, and it's one of his dreams to serve as a part of it as a Threshecutioner! He doesn't question the empire, despite its rules regarding the hemocaste that tell him he will never belong to it. That's actually more of a Hopebound trait than Ragebound trait.

So, he is not Ragebound despite being an angry character. What drives him forward is Blood, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. His own blood color is what drives his entire character, but aside from the literal symbolism, Karkat's driving force is his friends. [Blood as an aspect is about the ties that bind, the weight that promises hold, the value of relationships and keeping everyone together.] It is unity as a group, camaraderie within, the relationships you make and the responsibility you have to maintain those ties. I do talk a bit about Karkat and Kankri in my post about the Blood aspect; I've linked it in the brackets above.

So then, what is class, and how do we separate it from the aspect traits and just plain character traits? We hear a lot about "active classes" and "passive classes". Some class mechanics are even explored and explained in canon, but we never get a concrete definition; only pieces of a bigger picture. From these little pieces, I defined it down to a single sentence.

Class is how a person interacts with or is shaped by their aspect, either actively (directly) or passively (indirectly).

To separate class traits from aspect traits and character traits, I compared the two Knights in canon who get a lot of screen-time; Karkat and Dave. Being Knights of different aspects, I figured that, theoretically, if I subtracted their known aspect traits from their characters and then compare what is the same and what is not, I could find a pretty good ground for the Knight class to stand on. Whatever was not the same between them would be character traits. Whatever was the same could be a class trait pertaining to the Knight.

What I got was this:

Knights are extremely adept with their aspect, their driving effort to protect it and others through it. They are loyal to their aspect's cause and naturally gifted with it, using it as a tool to achieve whatever they set themself to. Their challenge is to learn how to be less harsh on themselves, to accept and learn from failure, and to accept the assistance of others when they need it.

Knights are an Active Utilizing class; they have a direct relationship with their aspect and make use of it, and with Karkat, this is very true! He's the self-proclaimed "relationships guy", and honestly, when he actually shuts the fuck up and gets to his point, he's pretty spot on with a lot of his stuff. He uses Blood because he has an extremely direct relationship with it (his own blood defines how he sees himself and what he strives for, after all). He's very gifted with Blood; it's how he was able to bring twelve very different and very difficult people (himself included) together for long enough to succeed at an extremely long and convoluted game where the mechanics aren't exactly explained to you. In fact, I might even argue he was so good at Blood that him "giving (the Beta Kids') universe cancer" was him accidentally forging a tie with them (perhaps that's why they all have mutant candy red blood like him). Of course, the other trolls affected the kids' universe as well, but it was through Karkat's leadership over the trolls that the Beta Kids crossed sessions and came together with the trolls as one big group.

Anyways, this kind of became a love letter to how Karkat's character is written, my apologies.

Though the dancestors were written quite flatly, we are given at least three of each class in canon between the Beta Kids, Alpha Kids, and the trolls (except for four; the Thief, Mage, Sylph, Bard). The dancestors are caricatures, which made analyzing them harder, but it was extremely interesting to subtract their aspect traits and parse out what was similar between the classes of the dancestors and characters who were written with more thought behind them.

As for the four classes who had one well written character to represent them and one flatly written character to represent them, I looked to their paired active/passive class. The Thief and Rogue are Allocators; while the Rogue is passive, the Thief is active. The Mage and Seer are Understanders; while the Seer is passive, the Mage is active. [The Sylph and Maid are Enhancers; while the Maid is passive, the Sylph is active.] Finally, the Prince and the Bard are Destroyers; while the Prince is active, the Bard is passive.

Since I had already constructed the other eight classes from analyzing the characters in canon and what little tidbits are given to us in canon, I figured I could look at how, let's say, the Knight (Active Utilizer) and the Page (Passive Utilizer) interacted as a fully analyzed class pair, then follow that pattern for the remaining four classes that needed a proper analysis.

[You can read my basic overview of the 12 classes here.]

Thank you so much for asking, this question was extremely fun to answer! So sorry I made it about Karkat, I just happen to love him.

[into-the-fraymotif]

Well from one fraymotif ask blog to another, glad to see company!

Could you do a Maid of Mind + Prince of Time Fraymotif?

Hey, glad you stopped in, then! Good choices btw, I am personally quite fond of the interactions between Mind and Time, and this is a pretty tightly woven one.

One thing that I do sort of gloss over in the reference brackets when listing the Maid classpects is that their duty of service is not unlike a Knight's duty of protection. Whereas the Knight protects their Aspect from things that would interfere with it, the Maid tidies it up when it gets a little messy and acts on behalf of the Aspect's inherent motives. That clarified, here we go:

Crimson Waltz

Prince of Time [one who destroys and destroys through time, change, and activity] + Maid of Mind [one who serves and serves through reason, order, and consequences]

Crimson (deep red, reference to the JoJo stand King Crimson who has a similar ability to the Fraymotif and who's user is also a Prince of Time) + Waltz (a style of dance in 3/4 time instead of the commonly used 4/4 time, almost as if skipping a beat)

The Prince begins by striking forward in time, attacking the Target's future instead of their present. The Target, who is currently fine, may try to attack the Prince or their allies before the Prince's future attack happens, to which the Prince deletes the span of time between the Target's attack and its resolution. The Maid maintains the perceived order of events for themself and their allies, but that leaves the Prince unaffected by the Target's attack--skipped over--while the Target is still disoriented from realizing that they never actually attacked (even though they were positive they did). The Prince strikes forward in time again, then deletes the duration in which the Target retaliates, and the Maid makes sure that any series of actions that would result in the Prince being attacked during skipped time are "swept under the rug" if you will. This all occurs several more times until all of the Prince's past attacks happen at once. Extending the "under the rug" metaphor, the beaten and battered Target is then pushed over the huge lump of consequences in the "rug" of combat, falling backwards into their own attacks that previously got skipped over (because trying to remove causes from their effects would go against Mind, so the Maid just makes the effects of the Target's skipped attacks hit the Target now instead of the Prince or their allies all those previous times).

I really hope that all made sense, because it's a really cinematic attack combo, albeit kind of hard to follow, and certainly fits in with the kind of rapid attack sequences that you might find in [S] Collide.

Although now I'm kind of curious, because you said you were a fellow Fraymotif blog what your take on it is, if you don't mind dropping it in another ask ( o_o)?

Which is the cooler classpect?

[angel---eater]

@zerosforks sure! typing it out in an rb cause i get a little longwinded talking abt this stuff but the core of it is through my 10+ years of analysis for the classpects and the characters, one reaccuring theme i see in space players is isolation through sacrifice. this is seen most glaringly in alt!callie, who was the same kid we were first introduced to at some point. she shed what made her Herself (her interests, her identity as calliope in contrast to caliborn, anything else u can think of that makes someone themselves) to become the Muse of Space for everyone else's sakes. since cal and callie are the two cherubs who permeate through the paradox space we know in homestuck, i think the Muse of Space sets the precident for all other space players. to do your job as a space player correctly, you have to sacrifice something important to you (interests, your friends, a romantic relationship, your identity [like your perception of gender/sexuality for yourself. u see this in callie in particular with how in love she is with being a girl, and also her in-universe fantheory on how certain classpects are genderlocked thru her focus on Being A Girl. she tries to connect with both roxy and jane thru Being A Girl. alt!callie doesn't talk about her fannishness or girlitude very much, if at all. shes got her Duties to attend to])

accidentally put my next point in square brackets lol. theres very much a correlation between the space players we have in homestuck, 'girlhood' (whether or not the girl in question stays a girl), and personal sacrifice for a greater good, which can be boiled down into that good ol' conservative chrisofascist sense of Duty that is pummeled into girls, people who were dfab, and people percieved as cis girls and women by a ciscentric society. we have to take care of our little siblings, we have to cook, we have to clean, we have to help our mothers, we cant go out and play in the dirt or we'll ruin our pretty dress that our mothers gave us, we have to grow up to be good little wives who always fuckin smile, that kind of thing

jade struggles with this through ALL of homestuck, and its the reason why shes made so much drama in meat and candy, AND the reason why she had yiffy in the first place. she is surrounded by friends and family but she can't connect to them, probably because of her total isolation growing up. and she doesnt even know how to fix it. she doesnt know how to connect with the people in her life without barging in and making herself at home (candy timeline, putting herself inbetween davekat and jeprodizing their relationship not just with e/o between the three of them, but with themselves [dave shoving himself in the closet bc he loves her, just not in the way she loves him]). shes internalized her loneliness and doesnt know what to do about it. the island keeps following her.

alt!callie has also internalized her loneliness, and we see that literally in the way she so frequently hovers around deep in paradox space. kanaya managed to escape it through meeting rose, but is now facing it directly in beyond canon. kanaya had some very close misses in hs1 with her unrequited feelings for vriska, though. i fully believe that if kanaya hadnt started talking to rose, her duty as caretaker would've completely taken her over. though i say that while she's in charge of the troll population's hatchery in beyond canon

the tug-of-war that sburb players have between themselves and their 'idealized' game-ified self (their classpect, held up as their Duty) is a theme with all homestuck characters (even nep who doesnt have a lot of screentime compatatively as purely herself), but bc we dive into some characters psyche more than others, callie and jade and kanaya really pop out to me. they're caught between Themselves, and their Duty. theyre sooo magical girl to me. theyre basically doing this all through homestuck

if i had the brain power id write a whole essay about magical girls (namely sailor moon and madoka etc), sburb and classpects, loss of identity through transformation even when that transformation isnt wholly negative (houseki no kuni guest appearance) (cherub-type 'one facet of You predominates the other. usagi is slowly overtaken by serenity, dave vs the Knight Of Time. dirk + splinters. space players in general) through a jungian lens (my fave to dissect literature with) but i DONT have the brain power so ur just gonna have to imagine it

[hskidsfightingkids]

GODTIERED KID VS KID TOURNAMENT BRACKET DRAFT!

Hello Homestuck Community! Happy 4/13! Here's a little something I wanted to make! :V

There's already so many Homestuck tournaments that have been made, but I haven't seen one where we can discuss the age-old question of who we think would win in a fight. So here we are!

We are playing with hypotheticals here, that is the key of any future discussions! All characters are god tiered to be on the same level (at least in spirit). You've gotta imagine this as a fighting game, or like the tournaments in Dragon Ball. Contestants go up on a stage and duke it out with all they have! Weapons, powers, you name it!

While I am busy stockpiling for the tournament, please feel free to reach out! If you think contestants or placements should be switched, have thoughts on the powers of the classpects from characters that didn't get to god-tier, or want to talk about your bias on who should win and why, my asks and submissions will be open!

Thank you for any and all participation! I hope we can have a fun time with this! :>

[understandableparadox]

?????? Achlys

19 yo Mage of Void hemoanon, Achlys is a air-headed party girl who likes to take it easy, life is definitely too short to be worried about every little thing. She's quite friendly for a troll and always knows what to say to please people. She changes quadrants pretty often.

However when SGRUB begins she seems to know just where to look to learn all the rules and easily makes herself the leader before anyone notices. Not to mention her fake lusus and dreamself that seems to be puppeted by horrorterrors…

penanceLarceny

PL is a Cobaltblood troll who lived on Alternia long before Karkat and his friends. He's a master thief, who mostly breaks into highbloods' hives to steal expensive things, and also hats that he takes a fancy to. Seriously, he really likes hats.

His theming is mostly around hats, and also foxes and the number 5 (his 5 eyes don't give him special powers like Vriska, however). His quirk replaces f with 5, o with ø, and x with ×. His lusus is a 5-tailed Kitsune (Japanese fox-spirit) who can walk on walls, and has partially taught PL to do the same.

Speedruns video games, specifically Super Snario Iliad (Troll Super Mario Odyssey).

Friends with Altair (another troll I submitted to this bracket). Altair is PL's server player.

Strife Specibus: Throwing-knifekind. Fetch Modus: Hat Trick Modus.

His classpect is Rogue of Time, and he gains later in the story the ability to locally reverse time (within a certain radius) and travel back to the alpha timeline in such a way that allows him to absorb the memories of his alt-timeline self, thus un-dooming himself and dooming them instead (stealing time from himself).

8 sweeps old.

PL cannot mind control others like regular Cobaltbloods. He can, however, manipulate them in such a way that they specifically are unable to remember having seen him.

He's cocky, but smart. He is in a rocky kismesistude with another troll, which is being auspistised by a third. He also has a reciprocated flushed crush on his best friend, but both of them are too scared to tell each other.

Has a funky gender, but uses he/him because he hasn't found any other pronouns that fit him yet.

Did I say he likes hats? He really likes hats. And heist movies.

i saw homestuck . may i suggest: space player c!tubbo and time player c!tommy? i know itd be easier to make c!karl time but i dont feel like he fits that? i think hes more of a light player than anything . quackity blood player,,, these are just my thoughts though <3 also yeah c!techno is SUCH a rage player. god

might i direct you towards this post of mine for tommy tubbo and ranboo classpects?

also yeah i agree that karl isn’t really a time player despite... time traveling. the light/void coin seems to fit him better

as for quackity. he’s a mind player. STRAIGHT—up. he’s practically a terezi kinnie already— a chaotic lawyer character with a bracket face ??? yeah. i don’t know about class... quackity is kind of deadly but only reveals it sometimes.... i think bard makes the most sense. bard of mind quackity

Hello, I’m hoping to get a classpect analysis if that isn’t too much trouble! I’m an ISTJ, with 5w4 ennagram. I like listening to music (synth wave, future funk, city pop are a few examples), playing video games, reading, and writing. Most of my life I’ve been by myself, and haven’t really had any solid ‘friends’ up until very recently. Mostly because I just end up drifting away from other people after some time because our interests end up not being too similar. (1/2)

Despite being kind of distant, people say that I’m really responsible and a dependable person who gets what needs to be done done. I jump from job to job, but I’m good at what I do. I’m pretty shy as well, and I tend to apologize a lot. I usually try to stay humble as well, I just don’t like arrogance lmao. I usually have gotten Witch, Mage, Seer, and Rouge. I’ve gotten Breath, Hope, Blood, and Doom the most. On the EZ, I’ve gotten Prospit and Breath. I hope that helps! (2/2)

Hello, thanks for asking! Based on the information you gave me, I would say you're definitely either a Breath or Blood player. I’m leaning towards Blood for a few reasons, including that I think it would most accurately explain your mix of results (especially combined with being a Prospit dreamer). 

Rogue of Blood is a strong possibility. It would describe the lack of Blood you’ve experienced through drifting away from friends, while still having personality traits that line up well with a Blood player. The way Rogue’s seek to become confident in their aspect could seem similar to a Mage/Seer and the way they relocate it can also seem similar to a Witch at times. Some of your personality traits also line up really well with a Rogue. Therefore, this seems more likely but I’ll give you a few more possibilities in case something about this doesn’t seem right to you.

You could be a Prince of Breath. You could be destroying Breath traits within yourself and using Breath as a destructive force (though this is only likely if drifting away from friends has harmed yourself/others). However, this seems less likely as the fact you have solid friends recently would align better with a Blood player that has struggled due to Breath. So really only consider this if being destructive and/or the point in the brackets stands out to you.

The final possibility is a Seer/Mage of Blood or Breath. This is the case if you feel surrounded by one aspect but you struggle to understand the other. For example, perhaps you have felt like you understand Breath but it has been limiting you and you would rather know Blood to find relief (this would make you a Breath player, and it would be the opposite if you’re a Blood player). You haven’t really given evidence of this being the case, but I didn’t want to rule it out completely for you if I’m just lacking the information. 

I hope this helps! If you decide you are a Seer/Mage and are struggling to decide which one, feel free to ask me to help you figure it out. Otherwise, feel free to ask any other questions. ^^
