some thoughts on UTY aspects
clover is a mind player (mind's association with justice, right/wrong, logic, the superego, morality, etc. mostly basing this assumption on terezi since we don't have many other mind players to draw from)
dalv is a space player (associated with isolation and creation, the "reclusive artist" archetype is 100% space-coded plus the corn he grows accounts for the association space has with nature and gardening)
martlet is either a breath player (scatter-brained, air-headed bird girl who is a self-admitted freeloader and struggles to hold down anything stable or concrete) or maybe a hope/rage player? (something about her faith being shaken in every route you play, in neutral her belief in clover's goodness being wrecked by flowey, in genocide her belief in humanity as a whole being crushed by clover and in pacifist her faith in the royal guard & judicial system being destroyed after everything she sees on her journey to the point she resigns)
starlo is 100% a heart player (his entire character arc revolves around him being lost in a persona he creates for himself, clear-cut heir of heart tbh)
ceroba is a blood player (does this even need an explanation? the woman whose entire story arc is based around continuing her family's legacy, saving her daughter and depending on route avenging her best friend? yeah okay)
axis is somewhere in the heart-mind dichotomy (he's an "emotionless" robot whose entire characterisation revolves around him being very emotional and aggravated, you literally win his boss fight by turning him on for fuck's sake)
THOUGHTS ON MARBLE HORNETS CLASSPECTS REAL QUICK THAT I'M GONNA EXPAND ON LATER PROBABLY
Jay is definitely a Light player, constantly motivated by a search for the truth and largely kept alive by his own dumb luck and fortune; plus there's the whole 'bringing attention to everyone involved by posting everything on fucking YouTube' thing.
Tim is a Heart player, which seems pretty obvious given his alter-ego of Masky. A great deal of his angst comes from his lack of self-control and his fear of what he does when he dons the mask; the crux of Tim's arc is rejecting his other personality and trying to get a solid grasp on his own emotions.
Alex? He's a harder one to pin down, but I'm gonna say Void. He does begin his arc as fairly Light-focused (a pretentious college film student who wants to put himself out there into the spotlight) but when you consider his primary role in the narrative? Alex is the one desperately trying to spread obscurity and obfuscation because he believes the mere knowledge of the Operator is dangerous - he's motivated to create secrecy and destroy truth & relevance in the name of covering up the cognitohazard that is the Operator.
Brian is really fucking with my head right now. I feel like he's also somewhere on the Light-Void dichotomy? He operates in shadow & secrecy but at the same time he's obsessed with spreading the truth of everything and taunting Alex with the knowledge he holds. His constant tendency for mind-gaming also makes me wonder about Mind? (Which would work quite nicely alongside Tim being a Heart player to place both them and Jay/Alex as opposites.) Also arguably more tied to knowledge than Light, and I did just mention he's fucking with my head.
No strong thoughts on Jessica yet either, but my gut tells me Breath? I'm not too sure, but I guess there's an argument to make that her arc is about freedom from the Operator and disconnection from everything else going on around her.
Experimenting with new formatting here so my posts are more uniform (as opposed to being some late-night stream of consciousness). also pretty colours
Adding onto this; I'm getting more and more certain about Brian as a Mind player by the second.
Not only does it create that interesting dichotomy with the main cast as I've stated before, but the more I look at totheark in relation to this the more sense I realise it makes. Mind has so many ties to disguises and a fluid sense of self which makes perfect sense for Hoodie, Tim is animalistic and feral in his masked state but Brian doesn't have a split-personality at all. It's the id-superego dichotomy that also makes sense with Mind when you consider Brian's (probable) ultimate goal of bringing Alex to what he perceives as justice.
He just... everything he does seem to relate to getting into people's heads, manipulating how they think, using them as pawns to get what he wants - I'm sure you could argue him bringing out Tim's Masky state counts for something. Plus, Mind incorporates a lot of consideration about possible outcomes/offshoot timelines which makes sense especially in relation to TTA.
Brian is difficult to fully speculate on because he has such little screentime compared to the other main cast members, and even less of that screentime is spent getting to actually know him as a person. All we really know is he was a fun, cheery guy who Alex tried to 'dispose' of, and he donned the Hoody mask and started conspiring to take out Alex & The Operator. We don't even know how he knows what he knows, we just know that he knows it.
That's all I've got for now.

beginning to realise the inherent genius of mind-bound heather duke actually. i'm too exhausted and too afflicted with first-day-of-college-itis to elaborate right now but. yeah. i see it.
Have you done an analysis for a page of mind?
I haven't.
The Page of Mind
I don't typically get a lot of Mind requests, so this was refreshing.
Page - one who serves their aspect, or serves through aspect for themselves.
Mind - the power over thoughts or control over minds.
The Page of Mind is one who serves Mind, or serves through Mind for themselves.
The opposite of a Page of Mind is a Rogue of Heart.
Page classes tend to put up a facade, very similar to a Knight. But, whereas a Knight would put up a facade so that others see them a certain way, a Page will put theirs up so how THEY want to be percieved. And this facade often both mirrors their aspect and is their aspect.
The Page of Mind puts up a front of someone both in-tune with emotions and feelings, but able to see the logic in their aspect. They put up the facade of being able to logically pick apart the emotions of others, and do it as simply as breathing.
Pages tend to be incredibly smart, they're not stupid, so a Page of Mind would definitely be one of those smart people. Mind as an aspect is all about facts and logic, and while Light is about knowledge, Mind is about balance. The balance of knowing something, and knowing what to do with it.
That's Mind.
The Page of Mind is a very useful friend, because they are good at analysing, yes, but they need to grow out of their 'old front' first. They need to put their facade down and step into their aspect.
A Page's journey is described as long and slow, and while this could be their own willful ignorance, or it could be situational, their journey to coming into themselves entirely is a long, often arduous journey.
And once they reach the top of their scale, you will know exactly why Pages are one of the most powerful classes. Someone (I can't remember who, not for the life of me) once described Pages like a literal 'blank page', throwing in their potential.
The Page of Mind has massive potential. They can become the analytical backup that your session will massively benefit from, and they are fully capable of it. Babying them gets nobody anywhere.
Good luck, Page.
The last post reminded me that I Did A Thing some time ago.
When I tried to draw a godtier Kankri, I understood that every Kankri in comic had different godtier palette. So I made a chart of every of them to compare. Then I did the same to some more godtiers and forgot about it until my friend tried to do a Terezi cosplay and asked about colours. The chart helped and was forgotten again.
TL;DR: I have some charts that help to analyze godtier colours and can be helpful in drawing, cosplaying, designing godtier pajamas etc.
Let's start with Mind one:
I have nothing else here to say except that I did Terezi's palette proportionally brighter because she stands in the dark in that flash. "Official palette" was a palette that I found in Wiki, but seems that they changed it to Latula's Collide sprite's.
