“Alright, clearly you’re unwell, and I’m sure as shit there’s no way you can get home. I can take you to my house, we’ll get you well rested, and we’ll see what we can do from there.”

“Is that okay?”

“uh.”

“k”

[ALT: he seems like he'd be a prince of doom since princes usually act like their opposite aspect AND he acts like a life player methinks]

in a reblog for this post: x

putting this as a separate post because it got so long that i couldn't simply put it below your reblog ^^'

yes that is exactly my classpect for asriel!!

( just as a sidenote, I find it very fun that, given my track record of assigning UTDR characters classpects, when a character is a Prince, they are also literally a prince in canon, like Ralsei, and now Asriel).

Asriel Dreemurr // Prince of Doom

You (very correctly!) stated Princes ghost their opposite aspect, and they do that since it's only prudent for a destruction class to destroy their aspect through leaning into the opposite one, too. The fact Princes destroy their aspect or destroy with their aspect supports this even more. They're destructive inwards and towards their environment, zeroing in on things having to do with their aspect and, depending on their mental state, destroying the enemies of its well-being or (usually, really) making it wither.

The ways Asriel supports Doom as an aspect are so numerous that it isn't even funny, so I'm just gonna list some things from my aspect notes and provide brief explanations:

affinity for unfortunate events, either in being the victim or invoking them (the incident he and Chara had with buttercups instead of cups of butter, Chara's death and subsequently Asriel's death during the scheme they both agreed on, creating entire timelines where he concocts his own genoroutes)

natural magnet for the worse parts of the narrative (being fated to live as a soulless being by pure chance, since his ashes were on the flowers purely by coincidence)

great supply of empathy and/or wisdom (the former is true for Asriel, who has a soul; the latter for Flowey, who is soulless and tested how things work many times - he even gives you a mock tutorial)

sufferers and martyrs (Asriel sacrificed himself to not kill anyone, even when attacked)

affinity for attunement with some kind of... otherness, alongside Life (like the exiles or horrorterrors in HS, or what I interpret as game mechanics in UT, and kinda just us - Flowey addresses Frisk, Chara and the player all at separate occasions)

Doom's symbolism of skulls, fire, explosions and bombs (he literally uses all these in his various attacks, most in the Omega Flowey form, that one with the added caveat of vaguely destroying Doom by using plants, Life's domain, too; but the skull appears in his Hyperdeath form attack)

literal meanings of death, sacrifice, entropy, acceptance (the first two are already plenty clear, entropy is just what Flowey was doing before we got here again and again, and what he attempts to do as Omega Flowey; and acceptance is what he finally exhibits at the end of True Pacifist)

abstract meanings of deterioration, nihilism, stagnation, static state of affairs, pessimism and limitations (most are already clear - the static nature of Flowey is him resetting again and again, to the point where Sans, along with whoever he was conducting research with, noticed the time anomalies and literally had depression induced because of the fact time is just Standing Still in a loop and nothing seems to matter anyhow so why bother trying <- destroying with Doom at its finest example; but also, the loop could be seen as something exactly opposite, since Flowey always tests something different).

Additionally, as the Extended Zodiac tells us - even though I try to not rely on it too much - the best a Doom hero can be is wise, kind and non-judgmental, while the worst they can be is being filled with bitterness, resentment and fatalism. The difference is between if they cling to the past or if they learn from it.

First up, Chara Dreemur

My thought process for sorting them into Rage was because they seem like they are angry at the world, angry at humanity and ready to do what it takes to break out of the underworld. Possibly to the point of dying way too early on their beds to try and ascend to godtier to try and gain more powers.

Next is Sans,

I deliberate...for so long about his class. Knight seemed the most fitting as it allowed him to manipulate and exploit light and use it to do his bidding but (also his role as the guard in judgement hall and sentry duties just seemed apt to assign him this role)...its also very funny that he is too lazy to do much of anything. The light aspect was a cruel joke I decided to go for, knowing his personality it is devastating to his character when he already knows the outcomes and can further prove to himself that nothing matters and that sock can just stay where it is, the timeline will eventually end anyways...

Then we have Alphys,

I liked the idea that she KNOWS what will happen if she does something, and KNOWS what happens if she doesn't. She is constantly stuck weighing choices, lives and options and it will eventually break her. As someone so anxious, I think it's sadistically hilarious to have her be faced with seeing all the consequences of her actions...all the time. It is paralyzing and terrifying, but her anxiety doesn't allow her to not look either.

Next is Asriel,

Deciding his classpect was tough...it was difficult to choose something that fits him but also will bring about character growth. Hence, I decided to just provide a different kind of tribulation. Having Flowey as your guiding sprite. Honestly, what did he put in that kernel to create such a menance when he is a sweetheart...no one knows. However, it is hilarious that his role is literally designed to help him do good things, but his guide is literally making it impossible to do right.

Last but not least, Mettaton
