Hi! I Was Wondering If A Knight Of Mind, Heir Of Blood, Or Seer Of Heart Would Be A Better Leader?

Hi! I was wondering if a Knight of Mind, Heir of Blood, or Seer of Heart would be a better leader?

Well, it would depend.

A Knight of Mind would be good at using façades and choices, exploiting and maximizing the usefulness of thoughts, rationale, and the outer self in order to get things done. If balanced, they could also use their Rogue of Heart inverse to obtain, redistribute, and share souls and inner desires.

An Heir of Blood would be good at influencing and inviting change relating to bonds, pacts, and connections of a group. If balanced, they could also use their Mage of Breath inverse to understand what direction the team should take—their goals and quests—and use that knowledge to act or lead.

A Seer of Heart would be good at understanding the core of each person in the group, such as their strengths, weaknesses, fears, and inner desires. They would then guide the team using that knowledge. If balanced, they could also use their Witch of Mind inverse to change others’ minds—their rationales and decisions—and their outer selves.

I’m inclined to think an Heir of Blood would make one of the best leaders in general, but there are a lot of factors to consider. It’d depend on the individual leading, the group dynamic, the purpose and goal, and what the team actually needed. It’d also depend on how “realized” (and competent) the person is.

Certain classpects are probably naturally better skilled and equipped to lead than others, but each classpect has the potential to be a good leader (or a poor leader), depending on the circumstances.

Suddenly this seems extremely relevant:

TT: But I'm confident in my plan. I have it under control. GA: Your Hubris Is Really Astonishing GA: Easily Twice The Mass Of A Universe I Think GA: That It Hasnt Collapsed Upon Itself Into A Tiny Lavender Singularity Is The Most Striking Marvel Paradox Space Has Coughed Up Yet TT: Maybe it did? TT: Maybe that's what went wrong. TT: We figured it out!

Hey, remember that time two Kernelsprites prototyped each other?

Remember how that basically created a black hole that sucked in an entire planet?

Caliborn’s session consists of pool ball planets he has to sink in order...

image

...Saving the 8-ball planet for last.

Similarly, Lord English is destroying dream bubbles and cracking paradox space in a procession, seeking to destroy Calliope:

UU: now he is completely obsessed with finding my soUl and wiping me oUt for good, even if it means tearing apart the reality that sUrroUnds Us. UU: he will never feel he has won Until all traces of me are gone.

image

And where is Calliope?

In a dream bubble resembling an 8-ball, the final ball to sink in order to win the game.

The Magic Chest

Remember John's MAGIC CHEST?

image

In here you keep an array of humorous and mystical ARTIFACTS, each one a devastating weapon in the hands of a SKILLED MAGICIAN or a CUNNING PRANKSTER.

This sounds eerily familiar.

A “MAGIC CHEST”...

image

...containing a “mystical ARTIFACT” that’s “a devastating weapon”...

image

VRISKA: The legend says there's some mystical ancient treasure hidden somewhere out here in the furthest ring. VRISKA: I'm assuming it's some kind of weapon. It's said that if you use it, or like, activ8te it in some way, [Lord English] can 8e defeated forever.

...“in the hands”...

image

..."of a SKILLED MAGICIAN or a CUNNING PRANKSTER."

image

JOHN: i thought for sure i was a goner, when suddenly i poofed away from his tentacly grasp like houdini’s slippery ghost. later i rematerialized to seize the tactical advantage!

JOHN: i am like the ultimate prankster now… nanna would be so proud!

John is now both.

The level of foreshadowing and callbacks in Homestuck, retroactively or otherwise, never ceases to amaze me.

your method of determining classpects is actually really interesting and useful. i had thought i was a mage of mind for a long time, but then i did this (and of course did some more research on my possible titles) and discovered i fit more as an heir of time! i still have the mage in there since my opposite is mage of space. it works really well!

Classpect Profile? Thanks! I’m glad it helped you! :]
