Anonymous asked: Would it be strange for a time player to be interested in art/drawing (because of their relationship with destruction)

Not particularly. It might struggle against their inherently destructive tendencies, but with enough practice you can learn just about anything, and in fact might help them learn to reconcile their nature with Space like is necessary.

Anonymous asked: While awesome I dont see how that is heart unless heart is the aspect of being a bad ass dude.

Essentially, Heart is the aspect of yourself. Why is Dirk so badass? Because he knows who he is. Why is Terezi so badass? She knows how she acts and how other people act. It comes down to WHO YOU ARE, and HOW YOU ACT. Reality is affected by people who are going to affect it, and that is, in essence, what Heart and Mind are.

Anonymous asked: I get heart and mind are the self and you can affect reality but i dunno it seems tricky to affect reality through personas or being yourself. Are there any examples of people affecting reality through heart or mind? Terezis killing of Vriska confused me I have to admit but its the only possible example I can think of.

I can think of a couple examples.

ok how do i rescind what i said cause i’m sorry and didn’t mean that i”m sorry jesus fuck i didn’t realize anyone would see that or care or notice i’m sorry

Oh, no, I was just pointing out an error! It’s just important to notice your vocabulary and correct any erroneous concepts that were stated. I’m sorry if I made you feel stupid or uncomfortable. I would advise a little bit more caution in your statements, but it’s not such a big deal that you need to feel bad about it. :)

the quiz gives me depression omg

That statement is most likely inaccurate. Depression is a severe emotional state characterized by intense apathy to a destructive degree, or the mental imbalance that causes said emotional state. You can say that the quiz makes you upset or sad (I know it makes me feel that way), but depression is another thing entirely, and it’s not cool to belittle depression.

machiavellianfictionist asked: What do you think of Lauren (thepageofhopes) and her Classpect and Land tests?

I have no problems with her and I respect the foundation that she laid for Classpect, but her adherence to non-canon Aspects makes me skeptical and paofihea0goiuhaqeogiuah QUIZZES GOD I HATE QUIZZES. I’m sorry, but Classpect is deep and personal and confusing and there’s so much more to it than just something a quiz could really pick up on, and more than anything I get pissed off that she popularized them.

In short, she’s a great Classpecter, and I respect her, but she’s most definitely not my kind of Classpecter.

lol nope not me, but hey cool XD i wasnt aware i caught your guys attention XD

Ah, cool.

Sorry about the lack of depth. I don’t pay too much attention to a lot of Classpect people, which is something I should probably change. Mostly it’s lildurandal (who hasn’t updated in forever) and bladekindEyewear (where I get most of my followers form :\).

Anonymous asked: Are you taking requests because Im having trouble figuring out how heart and mind affect reality

Heart and Mind are centered around the self. You can act. You can affect change. You can affect reality. Heart and Mind are YOU.

Anonymous asked: Do you know of tumblr user dahnimae, and if so, what do you think of her classpect explanations?

Pretty decent, seems more focused on evidence versus purpose, which is never my specialty, but otherwise a solid Classpecter. Though I do have to wonder if it IS dahnimae behind those anonymous shades…

She’s following me, alright. Hm……
