If Aesop Played Homestuck...
So... a bit of background,
I had this hobby where my friend and I would sit around and classpectisize characters from different fandoms (Usually, Fandomstuck).
I mostly base my results off of OptimisticDuelist’s videos about this thing and all, and I was wondering, if Aesop Carl from Identity V played Homestuck, what would his God Tier title be?
I had an idea and brought it up with my friend sometime before quarantine started, and he agreed that it fits Aesop well.
The God Tier title? The Knight of Doom.
Now why did we think it fit him? Tbh I kinda forgot for some time until I picked up my research again and remembered why.
So why is Aesop a Knight of Doom? Explanation; go!
Doom represents the burden and conflicts characters experience. It can represent hopelessness, futility, and oftentimes, death. Knights serve their aspect, or serve through their aspect. Aesop falls in both catagories when he serves doom in his backstory and through doom in his skill. In his backstory, Aesop serves doom to others by persuading them into letting him kill them because death was far more welcoming than life, and in his skill, he serves through doom by rescuing teammates from rocket chairs- from their doom- by embalming them and using his coffin. Even his occupation of an embalmer alone evokes Knight of Doom vibes! He serves and restores bodies who have met their doom!
That’s it and thanks for listening to my TED Talk!
