#light player

[spyder8itch]

The paradoxical nature of being a light player is either you are minimized and set into a pretty little box of zero relevance and mischaracterization or painted as an irredeemable bitch who should be punished for the crime of having self determination. The complexity that light players bring will forever set them in the minds of certain fans as either motherly and meant to be decoration in the background or destructive, meant to be destroyed for the enjoyment of simplicity and the men around them. I wonder what this could be a great metaphor for. I wonder why all the light players are women.

With Rose using her godtier powers to manipulate Kanaya to calm down, she now plays the same parallels as Vriska and Aranea. Those bitches used their powers to manipulate someone for their own needs.

Are all Light Players manipulative? Is this another thing that's part of their aspect? If so, do not trust a Light Player ever again. Either way Kanaya, you got what you wanted. You wanted another bad girl and this is what it lead you.

A hypothetical god tier aspect for the Orlesian Empire from Dragon Age: Light

The Light aspect pairs with its opposite, Void, in the category knowing and perceiving. It is defined by awareness. (x) It is symbolized by light, probability, eyes, and data. (x) Light players enjoy knowing things others don't and rise to ascension on the wings of moths. Their denizens include Hemera (Goddess of Daylight) and Apollo (God of the Performing Arts). (x)(x)(x)

True Canon:

"Those bound to the aspect of Light are the universe's knowledge-seekers. They are, above all, driven to learn and understand. They are great alchemists, able to take multiple sources of information and synthesize them into something useful. They are scholars and researchers, absolutely dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake. They are the ultimate students, and although that might conjure up the image of people sitting around peacefully waiting for knowledge to be brought to them, that couldn't be further from the truth. The Light-bound will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful. They aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either. They often take rules as simple suggestions, instead searching for loopholes or work-arounds. At their best, the Light-bound are resourceful and driven. At their worst they can be fussy, pedantic, and insensitive."

Hey there.

My name is [Error:404] . See this blog as something of a session guideline, if you want? Or see it as what it is. The insane ramblings from someone who has far too much [Error:404] on their hands.

My session is highly irregular, so who knows what information I have that could be helpful. My session was hijacked, and instead of a game of four, we are now a game of 22.

My chumhandle is avoidantAcension [AA]. Add me at your own hazard, but I'll do my best to help with any...questions.

Now, it's important to remember to [Error:404] [Error:404] [Error:404]

or you'll likley die.

Good luck

Although Vriska will probably live after stepping into the plot point, I still think there could be a possible narrative reasoning for killing Vriska off.

Vriska is the thief of light. One who steals knowledge and luck, using these attributes for their own benefit.

Naturally, thieves are aggressive and independent and usually desire control and wealth. Light players often like to search for or create new knowledge to enhance their intelligence as a means to flex control over the narrative. In the case of passive classes (like Rose making the GameFAQ or Aranea’s bookkeeping on her friends and leprechaun romance) they also would try to subvert fate using knowledge. Rose destroyed gates, Aranea steals the ring of life. Rose breaks the narrative of Sburb’s game mechanics, and Aranea trues to break the narrative of the alpha timeline.

Active light players, well, Vriska, obfuscate knowledge, like when Vriska kept Kanaya out of the loop on her attempt to swoon Tavros.

How does this all connect?

Well, Vriska, the light player, exerts control and authority wherever she goes as a thief, and uses knowledge and luck as her tactic to exert narrative power. As an active light player, she can obfuscate and hide knowledge from outside observers, acting as an extra coat of camouflage for the candyverse.

Interestingly enough, by absorbing her into the plot point, all the relevance, luck, and knowledge she stole is dissipated into the fabric of the Candyverse, and since she is a character who is always relevant, the candyverse becomes relevant by absorbing Vriska’s essence.

That would be an interesting idea. Part of me though is a bit skeptic because past events in the series also shown that Light Players is not actually about relevance. See how Rose fall into alcoholism and does absolutely nothing after Act 6. She's even a nobody by Post Retcon. Aranea disappears after her villain arc moment and nobody mentions her again. Vriska lost the hero title when it was TAVROS the one who rallied all the ghosts to fight against Lord English. And don't even say she would be the one to take down LE as well. Because by Epilogues, it is shown she couldn't beat him. It was DAVEPETASPRITE who would sacrifice itself to beat it and NOBODY else would know it was them. There's a chance that it could be about this to Vriska. That though she is part of the mission, bitch won't actually get the cool epic moments she desires or wants. It would be other characters who get it or worse case scenario, happenstance occurs without her influence. Though that's just my thoughts because of how Andrew Hussie and WhatPumpkin had treated the aspect within the narrative. Just like they did with John as a Breath Player. Breath was never about freedom and the writers mock us of thinking us. Maybe it will be different for James Roach and HICU since they want to be in at least good graces with the fandom. James Roach too was even the one who suggested the classpect book to Hussie and has plans to explain more about the classes in HSBC despite the short summary. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

I'm sick of Vriska saying she will do shit to become a hero and nothing comes of it. Vriska created Bec Noir, forgets about him for Lord English. Even when focusing on LE, it was Tavros who made the ghost army in the first place. And by Epilogues, she wouldn't be the one to kill him, it was a fused kernelsprite. What will the bitch actually do this time that will have people, both in narrative and audiences, kneel to her for doing an action to show she is a hero despite being an awful person? Call me a jaded bitch. Cause why did they have to drag us along seeing how shit and worse things have gotten along the way that would lead up to the cool moment? Especially one not many worked for? Even if it's to soon disclose all the horrible mistakes that Hussie and WP did, it would have been better to just do it so early in the beginning when they took control of this dubious canon series. There's no need to give one single damn respect to Hussie or certain members of WhatPumpkin for what they had laid out in Homestuck 2. It's better to wipe it out sooner than to continue on building on top of the crap in the first place.

ok ive been combing thru the various homestuck tags since reading the upd8 and i have seen no one really talk about rose. which, given everything else is kind of fair. like look karkat and vriska being the most competent people in the room. june egg cracking.

but im so so so interested in what rose has going on. she's a seer of light. she saw everything that was going to play out. it was going to go right for the revolution. she wasn't going to have to receive consequences for her shitty actions (yeah yeah jade is culpable in some way too, but we're focusing on rose here).

and vriska, another light player, steals it from her. she takes the information rose saw and literally does not give a fuck, and yet again makes her own luck out of everyone elses.

and the way this breaks rose

ohhh my god. i genuinely don't think rose has had anything contradict her seer vision the entire 20ish years of candy. which would explain why she's losing her shit so much.

this is why i think light as an aspect has way a bit more to do with luck than information. rose was seeing what would be her luckiest timeline to escape consequence. she knew kanaya would have to forgive her because she saw it, so it'll be so.

and all of what she knows is now broken.

imagine you're able to know everything that will happen before it happens, and there's only one person who could possibly change it, but she's been gone so long you don't even register her as someone who could disrupt what you see. and for rose this has all come crashing down immediately, at one of the most tumultuous parts of her life post-game.

she doesn't see the future anymore. maybe she never did. one of the main things rose finds comfort in, at least in candy, is that she's in control of her situation. she knows whats happening at near all times. and vriska gives her a true reality check by taking her luck.

so she breaks, has a panic attack. kanaya hasn't forgiven her (presumably), she's not in a bullet induced coma or dead. her mental break isnt coming from just having to face her consequences, its coming from a complete upset of everything she thought she knew
