Classpecting is a fun exercise, somewhere in between D&D building and Tarot reading, based on the 12 universal elements in Homestuck.

Like anyone spending too much time with it, I learned early on that anyone could be described by literally any combination of the classes and aspects... in some way.

People are too complex, and don't have narrative arcs to really drive these things in a specific direction.

I could see Breath in my impulsive, wayward patterns. I could see Time in my lifelong obsessions with nostalgic past and struggles with reality. Doom dominated my mentality almost as much as Hope did, in those existential adolescent years trying to make sense of life. Bound between too many people I saw Blood in myself, and a self in which to reflect Heart through acting. And a great Void, in that great abyss in which I couldn't really know myself with any clarity.

In the end, "Mage of Space" was something I got randomly rolled from a random number generator during an ARG.

Ironically, with my take that Space relates directly to the idea of fiction and stories itself—it ironically became the most fitting thing I arbitrarily slapped on myself. By being about fiction itself, my struggle to assign myself elements of this fictional setting was itself tied to the mythological title.

Tonight this entered my mind, and I thought—

What if a basis for assigning oneself a Classpect would come from thinking "What Class and Aspect ties most closely to my relationship to Classpecting myself to begin with?" What's the goal?

Somewhat filling in the shoes of a narrative arc in a meta-textual way.
