BYB rambles about roles, classes, and aspects
Alright, so for the longest time, we saw Aspects - breath, time, space - and thought they mattered only literally. And we thought the Classes in front of them barely mattered, or didn’t see the point in them (besides, perhaps, the Seer). Furthermore, we saw only token correlations between many of the trolls and their roles, thinking their failure at learning what the game’s quests were supposed to teach them denied them the heavy role associations other players seemed to achieve.
UU and Aranea have shown us otherwise. Not only are the roles meaningful, but one is expected to reflect their role even in their very nature.
Under the break, I’ll be going into the following topics:
- From the introductions of every troll in Hivebent, Andrew knew what their game role was, what it meant, and used it to shape their personalities.
- Just as Light and Heart have been shown to mean broader things than they literally imply, other aspects have unintuitive side-applications as well… ones that the players and trolls have embodied for quite some time!
- Just as Kanaya and the other trolls were dreadfully uninformed on the purposes of the Sylph, Prince, and Bard classes, even Rose might have been wrong about the general idea of the Heir class and such.
- The Knight of Blood deserves some special explanation, and the Page of Breath as well, especially with how he’s played out storywise.
This will not be boring. Click to read more. It will be long, but pony gifs have been added to ease your eyes while reading. >;]
EDIT: Added a bit at the end about the Witch role. EDIT2: And a supporting Blood quote an anon supplied.
(on AO3 where it doesn’t look so chopped and LQ)
Ooops, I just recieved kudos on this and it made me realize I forgot to post it here… which is sad, because I’m pretty proud of this piece! It was too hard to come up with a way it would work in a tumblr post, though. This is…

I noticed that this raised some questions, lol. I did waffle on it for a while but yeah there was some reasoning behind it (no really)
a. rubber bullets.
b. she is a cop (detective NOPD anti-gang, coast guard reservist instead of full time) and feels naked without it /stereotype
c. she has great aim with firearms, not so much with powers.
d. edited her abilities so she has to switch her entire mass to energy form to use her power, no laser hand-blasts.
e. this version of Monica is when she is very new and doesn’t have precise control over her ability, her resting energy state is basically a glowy white-light energy being that is diffused over a fairly wide area so she doesnt risk incinerating everything/one around her. When she concentrates it she can tap into the cosmic background radiation to boost her intensity but its like opening power floodgates. This is great for battle against superbeings and giant monsters, not so much against humans. She CAN manifest at more midrange intensities but no matter what area of the spectrum she’s at this would be either very annoying to downright dangerous (disrupting radio communications, internet and wifi, being too blindingly bright. Or uh giving everyone around her radiation poisoning/cancer… not really an acceptable form of collateral damage. Everyone tends to draw the line at weaponized throwing cars)
f. IN CONCLUSION, her two current settings are essentially “light show” and “atom bomb”.
/nerd
PS- later on she learns to reign it in enough to work as an Active Denial System though :p but takes a level of precision she doesn’t initially have and would just microwave everything.
The first two are the most frequently used.
Hey, I look at a lot of porn, so surprising, I KNOW.
Here is one of my absolute favorite porn tumblrs at which I have used all of these faces (No shit, it is so dirty and amazing you guys):

Also, I’m experimenting with coloring comics, I used to not have any time for such decadence with my auto bio strips but maybe there will be more of this in my future.
