hope has a lot to do with positivity and sheer belief. believing that everything will be okay and that anything you believe in, you can make it happen. that definitely can apply to spamton in many ways, with how he seems to believe in some sort of higher power, and believes that with the NEO body he can do pretty much anything he wants. but spamton's want for a better outcome seems more tied to personal power and agency than some sort of moral high ground.

a lot of spamton’s story revolves around him being pushed down in some way, and him wanting to get better - get more power - as a result. i think thats more tied to life than anything else.

another thing i like to think about when classpecting is how the opposite aspect applies to the character, especially when you consider the class. from what i remember about thieves, they tend to lack their aspect in some sort of way, making them want to seek it out. think of doom, life’s opposite. spamton’s current situation is very doom-y, suffering from homelessness, a lack of friends, literally restricted and controlled, etc. and is literally trying to steal a better life for himself. meenah, another thief of life, is a good example of this, albeit with a much different situation of course. she was destined and restricted (doom) to a life of servitude to her people, and so she ran away to do what the hell she wanted (life). a big simplification of course, there’s a lot of nuisances to life and thieves but yeah!

another thing, i completely forgot about this, but i did an edit to my original post on spamton's classpect bc i suddenly realized he has such a big emphasis on health and healing! the f1 for help thing, the heal deal move, even fried pipis, etc.

as for jevil, yeah i can definitely believe in rage. i havent analyzed his character much in comparison to spamton lmao, but he seems to pretty much match 1-to-1 with most things i know about rage. chaos, anarchy, tearing down belief. of course, jevil may or may not be a callback to the general idea of homestuck clownery, so this definitely isn’t a surprise heheh

You can also base it on what you already know about yourself and your current personal journey. You’ve been growing since you were a kid, changing who you are in little ways, being affected by different things; Classpects take into account all of this. 

I very much subscribe to the theory that Classpects affect your homelife and your upbringing. Your Classpect comes first - even before you’re born, your Classpect is there as an inevitable sort of thing. It details exactly what path you’ll go down as a person, be it to become a True, Realised, or Failed Player. You can pretty much always track these paths and the similarities between Players via joint experiences and joint struggles. 

This is the sort of thing we detail, too - or at least that I try to include in my analyses. This is what a Player will look like before their awareness; this is what a Player is likely to act like and struggle with. This is probably the easiest way to help figure out your Classpect, so long as you’re comfortable with the idea of self reflection; looking back over your life and seeing if it lines up with the explanation of a Classpect pre-awareness. 

To take myself as an example? I’m a Page of Heart. I know this because, throughout my life, I have had significant struggles with Heart (self identity, impulsivity, relationships), and I had a definite lack of it at one point in time (ending up doing a lot of the “trying to act caring/empathetic but often being overemotional” and “being passionate to the point of obsession” stuff). And I know for a fact that, still, in my attempts to be kind and caring, I can be... very overprotective and a little suffocating. 

On top of that? I’ve definitely been exploited via my emotions and empathy (something I only realised more recently through Classpect-based self reflection), and I have a tendecy to overshare with people who aren’t technically close enough for it. I know for a fact, too, that my emotions can get wildly out of hand. 

Therefore, a lot of my growth is about learning Heart until it becomes natural, and about an eventual sense of balance between the lack and the extreme. I already know I’m getting there. I’m getting much better at connecting to people emotionally, and I’ve got a knack these days for figuring out peoples’ identities (which can be something as small as guessing their favourite animal/colour first try and as large as working them through their Classpect journey). 

I know this is my Classpect because it fits not only what I’ve been through, what I know I’m going to struggle with, and the concept that it’s actively going to challenge me, but also because it hits this note of who I see and want my ideal self to be. 

This is why tests are great, but don’t always hit the mark. I’ve been asked a few times to make a test of my own, and as much as I’d love the idea and have put some thought towards it, a lot of Classpecting is self reflection and thought. It could help to narrow down the potentials, but it would never be perfect - especially since there are some Classpects (such as the destructive or lacking ones) that might appear on the surface as a completely different Classpect. I’m not sure how to accurately make a test that takes into account these little nuances. 

So! For a TL;DR:
