Sylph of Mind
He helps you save your game and do menus in the og game
Make you aware of your choices
Ooo theme of choice w mind
Kris Deltarune is 1000% an heir of heart. No choice
Hmmm
Lord of Mind
I kinda
Wanna say
Omega Flowey
Right???
Or is he Lord of Heart
No
It's his lack of heart that defines Flowey specifically
The souls escape
Hmm
I just keep hearing GMan
...
Should've gone w first instinct.
Asriel is Lord of Heart, GMan is Lord of Mind
Time , to choose
Doctor Freeman
Dominates thru choice
Plus the whole, appearance of government officiality
Justice, law
For Asriel the heart is a bit twisted
And I'm actually thinking he's not a Lord at all
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 12:56 AM
this is just what always happens when we start talking lmfao
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 12:56 AM
But a Maid of Heart
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 12:56 AM
it just turns into classpecting again
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 12:56 AM
FORGIVE ME
ITS THE PART I LIKE
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 12:57 AM
its on me too lol
i love this shit
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 12:57 AM
Asriel is literally Maid from Heart
The distributed selves of EVERY MONSTER and ALL SIX HUMAN SOULS
Are what u need to make one (1) Asriel Dreemurr
And it's not just him as God of Hyperdeath, his soul literally, it shatters into dust over flowers
His self being distributed
Brought to life thru DT
(Choice)
(Hope?)
(Choice)
(I think DT is Mind more than Hope)
(Esp the connection to Undyne)
(she is the SPEAR OF JUSTICE and that's why she's more naturally determined than any other monster in the entire goddamn underground)
(Justice is mind is DT)
Oh shit
Yeah.
They're literally fucking yellow.
Toby you sly dog.
You changed the colors on us!!!!
Mind is YELLOW
Justice. The justice soul is goddamn yellow bc hope isn't yellow in UT
Offhand I don't know what it is
I don't think it translates one to one w a soul color
But DT and Hope are very different things in Undertale iirc
The Angel has a lot to do w UT "hope"
Which i think makes it blood/breath aligned
Esp bc hope is literally, for the monsters, freedom
Fresh air
And this fits too w Noelle, the angel, being a Bard of Blood
The Angel's Hope
Her breath, her blood
her bunker
what the fuck happened in that bunker.
someone knows. nobody is saying anything.
Kris...? Are you okay?
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:02 AM
it makes sense if dt is blood
dust is breath, right?
and monsters dont bleed they just turn to dust
but if theyre pumped w dt they start melting
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:02 AM
Maybe DT is like
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:02 AM
and dt is a liquid extracted from people
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:03 AM
A mind/blood combo?
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:03 AM
that runs through hearts
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:03 AM
Mmm
Specifically the whole, DT is choices thing
Tho
Hm
Hmmm
No yeah. Sticking to DT being choice
And that's specifically bc I think
[Hyperlink blocked.] from DR Chapter 2 is LOVE
In the like
Object duality version of the word
It's love as in hearts as in love ❤️ as in love as in Level Of ViolencE(edited)
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:04 AM
does undertale pair up aspects differently, i wonder?
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:04 AM
Than DR?
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:04 AM
heart and rage
mind and blood
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:05 AM
It's definitely a question. People don't even know if Determination does the same thing across games
So it being fundamentally different would repair the aspects
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:05 AM
i still havent played dr2
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:05 AM
Lemme find a really interesting theory abt DT in DR
I remember it had like
Something to do w different aspects of storytelling
Which is like
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:05 AM
i mean im not too invested in unraveling dr atm
lol
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:05 AM
For classpecting hahaha(edited)
Okay okay okay
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
mostly just cause its like... supposed to be a five part thing right?
so ill just
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
I mean I'm mostly waiting on other ppl to join in in terms of
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
wait til the pieces are all there
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
This dm
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
tru
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
Ohh
And it's actually
7 parts
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
...
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:06 AM
The first five chapters are going to be pretty good overall
If a little top-heavy towards the back half of Chapter 5
It'll end explosively but on a vague cliffhanger
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:07 AM
please no
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:07 AM
And that's actually what Toby will release as the first package purchasable
The second half of DR will be uh
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:07 AM
please please no
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:07 AM
It's just gonna be allllllllllllll chapter 6.
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:07 AM
viri
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:07 AM
And then chapter 7 will be animated using stolen Kickstarter funds!!!!
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:07 AM
are you /jk or /srs
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:08 AM
I'm jk abt the details of what each chapter contains
But srs that he's releasing ch1-5 as a for-money package, waiting until the rest is done, and then 6-7 will be either DLC or standalone depending on ur preference(edited)
And like
Listen
Listen
I'm
I see those chapter markers
And
THE THING IS IT MAKES SENSE FINANCIALLY TO DO IT THIS WAY.
He already released 2 for free
So then you split the rest in half
3 and 2
Obv he wants more content in the middle, and then the last 2 are gonna be climax and finale and wrapup(edited)
It's just
It's funny
To see the Homestuck numbers
aorticAblution13-Jan-22 01:11 AM
im gonna fucking scream
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:11 AM
But seriously
For those who aren't uh
Hypernerd classpecters
Plz ignore
Most of this hahaha
I can promise w 89 percent certainty the gmans classpect will not factor into the lore
But I do want ppls input.

are our evil selves our inverses
like
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 11:39 AM
Ye
Generally.

is a rouge of life
awesome
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 11:40 AM
Idk if we'd stick specifically to jreg as your guy
transientAcatalepsy13-Jan-22 11:40 AM
yeah that's a joke lol
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 11:40 AM
I think we played w like, not one to one
Evil Selves
Like I think so long as all inverses were represented in the alt party
If someone is a knight the alt party has a rogue, but the rogue doesn't need to be the representation of the inversion aspect
Yeah. Bc Katy Willow was the Muse but AltRuth was the Lord
And alt Kiko was Thief of Breath despite glows being Rogue of Life(edited)
transientAcatalepsy
are our evil selves our inverses
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 11:44 AM
So Actually, No
Lol
The rule I think is
All inverses should be balanced out
But that's abt it
For the sake of party comp across the two groups, I mean
Lemme grab the full old classpect list
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 11:53 AM
Glows (Heir of Hope) - Elliot (Page of Blood)
Ruth (Mage of Hope) - Ethics In Video Game Journalism (Lord of Rage)
Joan Roswell (Page of Time) - (Sylph of Void)
Kiko Yoshida (Rogue of Life) - Chad Raisao (Thief of Breath)
Emma Jettie (Maid of Light) - Etch Alty (Bard of Doom)
Katy Willow (Muse of Space) - DEAD (Knight of Space)
8s (Witch of Mind) - The Navigator (Seer of Time)

no wonder the session collapsed under its own weight
No heart player either

【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 01:53 PM
Pick up where we left off so to speak
Hope player on our side is dead, having gotten murdered by a player on their side and replaced in the chain
That way the big bad can still be a Rage player but keep it balanced(edited)
We've all Entered the Medium but things aren't perfect(edited)
We're getting harassed by weird accounts
Might be fun to like
Oo
I have a concept. Like, have for each player the cute traditional Homestuck intro that abruptly hard cuts into the chaos for each character immediately post entry
Bc I think heroes journey wise having some "normal world" establishment, showing that these kids are friends before the game, even if just a glimpse
We also then can have that normal world setting in the back of our pockets for like emotionally resonant flashbacks!!!!
1
Bc I'm recalling that lots of the, like, memes and running gags and tonal stuff is established pre entry
We don't need to spend really any time there at all
But having it there for contrast yk
Weird plastic blow up aliens and detectives with the CFBI
Arson and book preferences
Modus stuff can be saved for the post entry in game tutorial
Esp bc it's weird to have
Two tutorials
Which is essentially what Entry is
A tutorial for the comic and alchemy
And then post entry to first gate is a tutorial for, what is The Medium, what does fighting guys look like.
And then after that you're finally off to the races
But we're getting rid of the first one almost entirely bc this whole
gestures vaguely
Is that tutorial
But still
A safer place to play around in than an alien planet.
Super Metroid has the space station, Mario has that empty space before you see the first few blocks
A brief realm w zero danger at all to familiarize yourself with the controls.
Tho I do mean brief haha
I think if we wanna get this show on the road we should stop trying to invent from whole cloth
The pieces are there and we can pick them up!
If people WANT to do something else like
Yes
But do we??
crescentCecropia13-Jan-22 02:04 PM
im down for whatevs tbh
【SKAIA】13-Jan-22 02:05 PM
Yeah
So I think we can just
Take
The platonic ideal of the plot of the first run of the rp
And just
Say that that happened
We all entered hope player died got replaced by evilclone.
Vroom
Parties are
Heir of Heart
Knight of Doom
? of Time
Witch(?) of Space
? of Hope
---
? of Rage
? of Space
? of Time
? of Mind
? of Life
Okay so they had balanced classes
Sometimes the altself was the inverse sometimes it wasn't related at all
In that case
crescentCecropia13-Jan-22 02:10 PM

Is Neo maid of space????
No
That's bad
But I feel like there's something there
Maid from the medium itself
Distant but trying to close that distance
Has power over physics
Okay, well, first of all, Tabuu Smash Brothers
and slash or alyx vance
maybe Chell Portal2, too
Hm
Not chell
But definitely alyx specifically bc of the VR stuff
And like. Dem gravity blasts lol
Gordon is a Knight of Space. He can do the whole damn thing himself. This is a problem, obviously, and man gets actively manipulated and gaslit like fuckin crazy, but he also can exploit physics thru the gravity gun
Alyx don't need no gun
