Thoughts on Neon (Breath+Light)?
Neon (BreathLight)
(icon by victis-stelar)
So! Neon is a fun dual aspect, because it's one of the ones that inspired the entire classpecting system! By that, I mean it has canon representation, in the form of poor, dear, Tavrisprite.
Tavrisprite, according to the ERIJANCENTRAL.COM dual classpect calculator, is a Spy of Neon, or ThiefPage of LightBreath. (Other notable details - Spy is an inverse of itself, and its paired class (active/passive swap within the verb group, so Thief to Rogue and Page to Knight) is Hunter, which is Davepeta's dualized class.)
In a sense, Tavrisprite is the ultimate showcase of what can go wrong with dual classpecting. The two personalities are incompatible as a living being, exploding just seconds after being created. This is obvious in the classpect name itself - Spy of Neon. A spy is thought of as sneaky and subtle -- neon is anything BUT. Their fusion was doomed from moment zero.
On the other hand, Neon itself isn't a fundamentally broken classpect. Obviously, the Tavrisprite fusion had permanent personality-altering effects on both (Vriska) and Ghost!Tavros - Vriska discovering how to cool her fires, and Tavros discovering how to be a leader, even though the fusion was merely seconds long. (For more discussion on that specific note, check out my fanfic, polyfrag.)
Neon also could represent a coming together of John and Rose. A "Herald of Neon" - a herald being a messenger containing news - could fit their relationship, vibeswise. I won't really get into it here, since that'd just end up being a Why I Like Grimdorks apologia, lol. But I do quite like it.
Finally, the popular fan fusion/pairing of John/June and Vriska results in a "Vagabond of Neon." Again, I can't really go into this specific one beyond just, "those vibes feel kinda right for that pairing," but yeah. (Hi godfeels fans lmfao - my new fic about June, featuring her wandering in Alpha Timeline Earth sort of aimlessly yet directedly, does evoke this classpect intentionally.)
I just realized I got to the end of this post without talking about Neon.
@nihilistic-janitor and I named the aspect Neon because it's bright and obvious, yet literally a gas. It's one of the more literal names, since it is just Light But Windy, but I feel like it fits.
Where Light oftentimes blinding and scattershot, and Breath leading in all directions, Neon is a pinpointed alternative. A neon sign tells you where to go and why you need to be there. It combines knowledge and travel in a nicely neat way.
(Special thanks to @victis-stelar for the dual aspect icons!)

Please send in more asks! I can do ones about specific Classpects, Classes, Aspects, or meta stuff, like the dual system or how classpecting works with player-fused Sprites.

creature of the day #1!
today's favorite funky friend is the bleeding heart pigeon! or, Luzon bleeding-heart~
their scientific name is Gallicolumba luzonica and they are apart of the family Columbidae(which is a family which consists of doves and pigeons!)
these funky fellahs are a near threatened species which usually only lay a single egg during june. sadly, because they are endangered there isn't too many to study, but! there has recently been a push to create a breeding project to keep their numbers healthy!(link)
hower, pushing past that-- these are grey birds with iridescent feathers which give it a green-blue appearance in the correct light! in fact, you can see it in the little fellah above! another fun quirk is their red splotch on their chest, something which was the inspiration for their name!
here's a better look at it if anyone was curious!
currently, these guys are almost all in captivity but, they used to live in the Philippine Islands of Samar(link), Leyte(link), Basilan(link), Mindanao(link), Bohol(link), and Dinagat(link)!
these critters are shy creatures who tend to run from anything it deems dangerous! they tend to prefer being on the ground, only flying to branches when nesting or escaping from danger!
they primarily forage on the forest floor eating berries, seeds, worms and insects! although, in captivity, they tend to be fed grains, parakeet feed and greens!
also, the babies look so dumb
however sadly, that's all the info we know on these happy guys :)
