Okay so I don't know where I heard it or where it came from (it might be canon for all I know idk Homestuck was long as shit I don't remember) but supposedly Knights lack whatever their aspect is within their session. For example, Dave's session, as the Knight of Time, was only about a day long and then Karkat, as the Knight of Blood... well, I don't really know but I assume it's because he hid his blood colour? I'm not really sure... Anyway, I think this is interesting for two reasons.
First of all--and this one holds no bearing on the narrative or anything, I just thought it was interesting--Time is associated with music, and while the beta kids' session is supposed to lack Time, each kid knows an instrument (or is otherwise musically inclined cuz idk if turntables are considered an instrument exactly lmao). John plays piano, Rose plays violin, Jade plays guitar, and Dave plays(?) turntables. I mean, I guess they already lack Time in the most literal sense of the aspect, so I guess if the theory is true it might stick to something more literal rather than encompassing the whole of the aspect or something like that idk. And actually, come to think of it, Time being associated with music may just be fanon as well that I've taken to be true solely because it's been hanging around in my head for so long.
But I digress. Long story short there is their session is apparently supposed to lack Time, Time is associated with music, each kid knows how to play an instrument, and therefore they don't lack that aspect of the aspect (lmao). Which doesn't mean anything, it's just interesting.
Anyway, second of all. And still operating under the assumption that Knights lack their aspect in their session here btw. I think it's probably more like they lack their aspect until they don't. Because for Dave their initial session is only about a day long until he, Rose, and the (remaining) trolls have to hang around in the Veil(?) for 3 years waiting for John and Jade and stuff. I.e., they're lacking Time until they got a whole hell of a lot of it. Similar goes for Karkat, I think, with the whole bloodbath Gamzee situation. I.e., they're lacking Blood until there's a whole hell of a lot of it.
Though I guess maybe that bloodloss is supposed to be the lack in the first place? Whatever man. That's just what I've been thinking lately k thx bye xoxo

What's the difference between a mage, sylph, muse, and knight of void?
Mage knows how to screw in a lightbulb but won’t tell you.
Sylph goes around unscrewing lightbulbs humming to themself.
Muse preaches about the value of darkness but doesn’t actually unscrew anything.
Knight slingshots every lightbulb in the house.
None of them can change a lightbulb.

I saw your tag on the post about Karkat "and that's why Karkat is a KNIGHT of blood", what's your analysis of Knights? Why do you think it he is a Knight (or important for him to be one)? No pressure to answer, I know you are generally busy. Thank you and have a good day!
Knights are there to both signal and, more importantly, make up for a deficit in an Aspect in any given session.
Dave is a Knight of Time, and the Beta Kid session lacked Time that he had to scramble to make up for. Karkat is the same with the lack of Blood in the Beta Troll session. The Beta Trolls undoubtedly care about each other, but they were raised in a system that's actively hostile towards the formation of genuine, grounded emotional connections with other people.

Weird Homestuck Classpect feelings
Does anybody else fight with a really weird form of imposter syndrome when it comes to your classpect? Especially if you get a classpect that is already used by a character in the Homestuck webcomic?
Like, for me I am a Knight of Time but that title is already taken by Dave Strider and it would feel really weird if I made a Knight of Time outfit cause then it would look like a really shitty cosplay (like as if I was dressing up as Dave but didn't bother getting a wig or sun glasses) I dunno, maybe it's just me overthinking this.
Don't get me wrong tho, I fully believe that all these quizzes are right and i relate to it and all, but it just feels... weird, ya know??

How about the Knight of Heart? As a treat. It's my classpect.
🌑 Of course!! Thanks for the ask. 🌑
Knight of Heart
Knight: Knights are a protector class, through and through. They use a mask of self-importance/“cool”ness to hide how much they care for others, and they’re happiest when their friends are happy.
Heart: Heart is the aspect of emotion, self-expression and the True Self. Because of this, they can be very different depending on class, but you can certainly never accuse a Heartbound of being shallow. They can have trouble separating their inner world and the real world, though.
Inverted Title: Rogue of Mind
Oh this is gonna be fun, knights are among my favourites. Very well then. A Knight of Heart is an interesting case. How does one hide behind identity? Simple enough, a KoH wants everyone to believe they know exactly who they are. And it works, too! From the outside, a Knight of Heart is impenetrable. They may not be the most well-liked person in the room, or the most talented, but it doesn’t matter, because they’re completely aware and sure of themselves, and that means nothing can shake them, be it a petty insult or a crisis.
Whether this is actually true depends on the particular knight and how far along they are in their development, but it will nonetheless be something they strive for. This Knight is also interesting because it would genuinely be hard to parse said development, since they were hiding behind their true self in the first place. Even if their mask consisted of Emotion rather than Self, or some other aspect of Heart, the end result would be the same. Long story short, a Knight of Heart would be Rose Lalonde’s worst nightmare.
We’ve talked at length about the inner workings of this Knight, now let us look at how they might interact with the world around them. Heart players seem to have an innate understanding of what makes up the core of people, their heart if you will, and Knight being the class of innate skill with their aspect, this ability would become a weapon in their hands. Just as with all knights though, this weapon is a double-edged sword, and a Knight that is too empathetic may let their understanding of people get in the way of treating them as they deserve, or in turn a more unempathetic Knight might come to see any person’s action that doesn’t match up with the version of them they perceive as a deception. Whoo, that was a sentence and a half.
I feel as though I’ve been a bit harsh to this classpect. That’s part of the nature of the Knight class though, occasionally they need a reality check. Not that their heads tend to wander, Knights tend to be fairly rooted in reality, only that they tend to lose sight of others’ perspectives in favour of their own. Particularly unhealthy knights also tend towards self-sustaining loops of anxiety, usually somewhat regarding their aspect. “Is the version of me I show others truly who I am? Are my emotions justified?” A Knight that can stay grounded is a formidable force, however, and should not be underestimated.
A Knight of Heart might be someone who enjoys and is skilled in roleplaying, and by connection RPGs. They strike me as the type to enjoy games where decisions and consequences hold real weight, and their dialogue options always reflect their true feelings, rather than the ‘good’ path most main characters are pushed into pursuing. They might also be skilled in matters regarding technology, coding and torrenting, and for some reason my intuition tells me scrapbooking. It’s an interesting idea, for sure. If you’re a KoH feel free to tell me how you feel about scrapbooking I’d love to hear it.
Mostly they need to remember that their achievements hold weight, and others cannot prescribe meaning to what they hold dear, only they can. As the knower of all that is irrelevant, I would know. Also, they shouldn’t let the whims of others become obstacles for their own desires.

How I see the Homestuck classes
Tagging @golgothas-terrorr because they inspired me with their own post...
capslock ideas under the cut
THIEF -> TO STEAL YOUR ASPECT FROM OTHERS FOR YOUR OWN GAIN ROGUE -> TO STEAL YOUR ASPECT AND GIVE BACK TO OTHERS
BARD -> DRAINING YOUR ASPECT TO CAUSE THE UNPREDICTABLE AND SUPERNATURAL PRINCE -> YOU DESTROY THE EXCESS AMOUNTS OF YOUR ASPECT HEIR -> TO BE AIDED BY YOUR ASPECT WHEN NEEDED PAGE -> SLOWLY LEARNING TO LEAD USING YOUR ASPECT SEER -> YOU TEACH ABOUT YOUR ASPECT TO OTHERS MAID -> TO SERVE UNDER YOUR ASPECT, USING IT AS A GUIDE
SYLPH -> YOU HEAL USING YOUR ASPECT IN A MAGIC WAY KNIGHT -> TO PROTECT OTHERS BY USING YOUR ASPECT WITCH -> YOU SHAPE AND RESHAPE YOUR ASPECT LIKE IT WERE CLAY MAGE -> YOU EXPERIENCE YOUR ASPECT AND IN RETURN IT UNDERSTANDS YOU
MUSE -> TO BE YOUR ASPECT, THE SPIRIT OF YOUR ASPECT ITSELF LORD ->TO RULE YOUR ASPECT AND ALL IT ENCOMPASSES

Upon seeing this on my dash, I got ridiculously excited. How about a Knight of Heart redesign? I'm interested to see what direction you'd take it in.

Knight of Heart! This was an interesting one to start with.

What do you think a knight of hope could be like?
Hmmm.
The Knight of Hope
Tumblr media
Knights are a fun class. Maybe you all like the fact that I think that they're passive. Dunno.
Knight - passive exploitation class, one who serves aspect, or serves through aspect for others.
Hope - control over positive emotion, and hope itself.
The Knight of Hope is one who serves Hope, or serves through Hope for others.
The opposite to a Knight of Hope is a Thief of Rage.
The Knight is going to be one of the more offensive defense players. They're able to weaponize the Hope of their teammates, and if they get them hopped up on the simple belief that they Can, then the team is basically unstoppable.
Even the littlest bit of Hope in any of the team members can be exploited and expanded.
The Knight's going to be the motivator. The one who says "we can do this because I believe so and you do too" and everyone will go along with it. They aren't leading the party, because they're not fit for that, but they've got your back regardless.
Knights often put up a facade ghosting their opposite aspect, as they start out with a small deficiency in their aspect. This means that, in the beginning, the Knight of Hope might act more like a Rage player, being a downer, someone who didn't have a lot of Hope in their own life, so they don't have any as a result. Once they get over this barrier, though, they'll really be able to turn the tides.
They're the type to believe strongly in something until the moment they realize that it's futile or simply incorrect, and this could either be from fact or the Knight's own insecurity, so having someone to support the Knight will also help.
Pre-God Tier, I see the Knight of Hope as someone who's had a lot of letdowns in their life, empty promises leading nowhere and they just need that extra push to keep them from going hopeless.
Though so long as they can overcome these challenges, the Knight of Hope will make for an excellent player and an even better friend.

Knights don’t use their aspect like a shield or their inverse aspect like a shield they use their misconception of what their aspect is as a shield
