I fucking hate this class bro.. I have no one to talk about what’s going on the class.. it’s all shit my parents don’t agree with. But I love the class Yk? Like I hate that I have no one to talk to but I love what I’m learning. I love that I’m learning about me. About people going through the same things as me. And I knew from the get-go that this was gonna be a class I had to do on my own but it would be nice to talk to my mom or dad about it. I wish I could go them with questions. With getting help writing and finishing projects. But alas. I cannot.. anyways. My mad chat I’m just frustrated.

I chose to teach one of my classes the word "defenestration" (the act of throwing someone or something out of a window) and it has become one of the most used words among us. I'm proud.
I got a new computer and I'm like so excited ! I bought it because I earned money teaching mathematics and physic. I love teaching people ! There is also my bullet journal. Since the holiday I try new things in it, I decorate it more basically. And if you zoom you will probably see that I'm following curses on Coursera, I got one on music theory and one on thermodynamic because it was one of the very few I found in French.
*Whisper-yelling* Just... gonna leave this here... FOR LATER
Homestuck Examination - Classpect Analysis Masterpost
Hello! I’m Homestuck Examination, and for a while now I have been doing Class and Aspect analysis stuff. With the advent of the Canon Aspect Quiz and some pretty interesting explanations of each Aspect, I decided to make a Class Quiz, which you can take following this link:
HSE Class Quiz
Ever since I made this Quiz, people have been asking me to go more in-depth about some of the Classpect Combinations, and until now I’ve been answering them separately- But then, given they just kept coming and repeated ones kept popping up in my Inbox I thought, what the hell? I may as well do every single one of them broadly and get it over with!
Below I’ll post links to analysis for each Class individually on its own, and a broad view over how each Class Pair would interact with each Aspect.
Creator Classes - Sylph / Maid - Aspect Analysis
Giver Classes - Knight / Page - Aspect Analysis
Visionary Classes - Seer / Mage - Aspect Analysis
Innovator Classes - Heir / Witch - Aspect Analysis
Taker Classes - Rogue / Thief - Aspect Analysis
Destroyer Classes - Bard / Prince - Aspect Analysis
Master Classes - Muse / Lord - Aspect Analysis
A foreword about this analysis, the pairings may not exactly match up your personal Headcanons, specially talking about the Knight/Page alignment and the Sylph/Maid and Heir/Witch pairings, but I do explain my reasoning in the analysis, and you should check this if you want a more in-depth analysis about the reasoning between these pairings and power ideas.
Furthermore, Classes sharing the same Verb are similar enough with their powers that they may be interchangeable- So what a Bard of Time can do, a Prince of Time likely can, and so on, so if you don’t exactly agree with my analysis, make sure to check the Passive/Active counterpart!
Hope my analysis helps you come to terms with your own Classpect, or think of fun interactions and things Players could do within a Session!
Kudos to @revolutionaryduelist for his amazing analysis of Homestuck as well as the little Class Cards, and to homestucking-girl for the base sprite I used for the Mage Class!
And if you want to see my original Post about the Class Quiz, you can find it over here!
Additionally! If you haven’t been able to come up with your own Class and Aspect yet, feel free to check my Classpecting Guide on Patreon!
What's a class or species are good for wisdom, intelligence, and dexterity for d&d
i love sitting under desks in class
(i SWEAR im working on posts, artblock has been beating me like i owe it money recently)
im ALSO in a gears cosplay so even more what the fuck
I'm bored and tired. So have a random moment from my science class a few weeks ago!
Teacher: *explaining Science stuff, writing on whiteboard*
*whiteboard pen runs out*
Teacher: *throws pen at bin, but misses*
Classmate: Sir you missed.
Teacher: I don't miss...
Class: . . .
Teacher: I have two kids to prove it.
Class: *all look at each other and back at our teacher*
Teacher: . . .
Class: . . .
Teacher: Anyways, back to revision-
My mind: what tf????
Do with this as you please. A prompt? Incorrect quotes? Idk.
OKAY BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT MY HOMESTUCK PERSONA'S GOD TIER SUPERPOWERS AND THEN IT HIT ME: "if there were a life player who's class is knight they'd use seshoumaru's tenseiga"
That's it. That's the whole thought.
The Inconsistencies of Race and Class
NO. 1
Class is primarily an economic measure, of course, based on wealth and income. This is explained more in Karl Marx’s and Max Weber’s ‘The Communist Manifesto, where Marx touches on Capitalism, an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit rather than the state's need to expand throughout Markets. The three main groups in class society are 1) The Aristocracy, 2) the bourgeoisie, which owns most of society’s wealth and production. And 3) the proletariats, or the working-class people. These terms are even more present today than during the Industrial Revolution. The bourgeoisie thrives off alienation and false consciousness, which is the way of thinking that prevents a person from understanding the true nature of their social or economic status.
NO. 2
Patricia Hill-Collins writes in Toward a New Vision, ‘’Each group identifies the type of oppression with which it feels most comfortable as being fundamental and classifies all other types as lesser importance. Oppression is full of such contradictions. Errors in political judgment that we make concerning how we teach our courses, what we tell our children, and which organizations are worthy.’’ (Collins, 1993). Oppression of education and fundamental voting rights happened exclusively to minorities, especially black people. During the ’50s and the ’60s, Brown vs. The Board of Education was one of the most iconic moments in history when the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled that the segregation of public schools between blacks and whites was unconstitutional.
NO. 3
Basically, proving that separate is not equal. The Voting Rights Act of 1965, and of course, the Civil Rights Movement that led up to it, was a landmark civil rights and U.S. labor law in the United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Now, with the Civil Rights Movement passed, it makes it seem that all people have rights, but it’s not true. Minorities alike do not have the same rights, no matter the changed laws and how much we think we’ve changed. White privilege is the societal belief that benefits white people over non-white people. It makes it almost impossible for all minorities to overcome the system. White privilege is the belief that there’s nothing wrong with being a white nationalist and that the removal of our nation’s past physical examples of racism, ex. The erasure of Confederate statues, affirmative action, and other such policies is an attack on white heritage.
NO. 4
Whether they want to admit it or not, the overlap between race and class has a great impact on society, and it intersects in complex ways, and simply focusing on one aspect alone may not lead to comprehensive solutions. Affirmative action was used to bridge the gap between racial and class disparities, and now that it is being threatened and taken away, we must carefully consider the impact that it has had and continues to have on marginalized communities. Carol Anderson, the author of White Rage, talks about the definition of white rage, which is how their anger fuels hatred, and that hatred fuels violence which has caused the deaths of black people, men, and women alike, ever since the first boat brought the slaves. It touches on white privilege and the indifference white people feel for black people, sort of like colorblind racism, a ‘toilet assumption’, the naivety that all people are created equal, when that’s far from the case.
It's time for another episode of Good Idea, Bad Idea
[Image ID: lightbulbs replace the 'o's in "good idea." Under that is the phrase "go to class early" in American Sign Language. Then the words "bad idea" with a lightbulb over the 'i'. Under that is the phrase "go to class naked" in American Sign Language. End ID]
Photography
Elements of Design
Line
Definition: The path of a moving point is a mark made by a tool or instrument as it is drawn across a surface.
Types: Vertical, Horizontal, Curved, ZigZag, Diagonal
Notable Example: "The Eiffel Tower" by Henri Cartier-Bresson - showcasing elegant vertical lines.
Shape
Definition: The area stands out from the shape next to or around it because of a defined boundary or because of value, color, or texture.
Notable Example: "Migrant Mother" by Dorothea Lange - illustrating the emotional impact of the human shape within its surroundings.
Color
Definition: A visual sensation caused by light.
Notable Example: "Afghan Girl" by Steve McCurry - using vibrant color to convey the subject's striking gaze.
Components: Hue, Value, Intensity
Hue refers to the pure, basic colors of the color wheel. It is what distinguishes one color from another, such as red, blue, or yellow.
Example: In a rainbow, each band of color represents a different hue.
Value represents the lightness or darkness of a color. It is determined by the amount of light reflected by a color. A range of values creates contrast and depth in an image.
Example: In a grayscale image, the variations from black to white represent different values of gray.
Intensity, also known as saturation, refers to the purity or vividness of a color. A highly saturated color is pure and vibrant, while a desaturated color is more muted or grayish.
Example: A highly saturated red will be bright and vibrant, while a desaturated red will appear more subdued.
Space
Definition: The area occupied by form. The main area is positive, everything else is negative.
Notable Example: "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico" by Ansel Adams - masterfully using negative space to emphasize the moonrise.
Value
Definition: How light or dark a given color or hue can be.
Notable Example: "The Old Guitarist" by Pablo Picasso (photographed by André Villers) - utilizing value to evoke emotion in a monochromatic context.
Form
Definition: Where light and shape collide to create images with depth and a sense of touchability.
Notable Example: "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2" by Marcel Duchamp (photographed by Man Ray) - playing with form and movement in a surreal way.
Texture
Definition: The visual depiction of variations in the color, shape, and depth of an object's surface.
Notable Example: "Migrant Mother" by Dorothea Lange - highlighting the weathered texture of the subject's face and hands.
Practice:
Take 5 photos demonstrating lines or explore more variations.
Principles
Balance
Definition: Feeling of equality in weight.
Types: Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial
Notable Example: "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli - showcasing symmetrical balance in a classic painting.
Proportion
Definition: Deals with the ratio of one part to another. Ratio implies comparison and is expressed in size, number, position, and space.
Notable Example: "Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci - exploring the proportions of the human body in a meticulous drawing.
Harmony
Definition: Creates unity by stressing the similarities of separate but related parts.
Notable Example: "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh - achieving harmony through the use of color and swirling patterns.
Variety
Definition: A change or contrast within one or more elements to add interest and to avoid monotony.
Notable Example: "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" by Pablo Picasso - introducing variety through diverse and unconventional forms.
Movement
Definition: Where your eyes look in a picture.
Notable Example: "Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir - capturing the lively movement of dancers in a joyful scene.
Unity
Definition: The whole or total effect of a work of art that results from the combination of all its components.
Notable Example: "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso - achieving unity in a powerful anti-war painting.
Rhythm
Definition: A continuance, a flow, or a feeling of movement achieved by the repetition of related visual units; the use of measured accents.
Notable Example: "The Dance" by Henri Matisse - creating a sense of rhythm through repeated, flowing shapes.
Emphasis
Definition: The stressing of an element to make it more interesting or important through one position, color, object, or texture.
Notable Example: "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer - emphasizing the subject's enigmatic gaze and the play of light on the pearl.
Composition
The way the principles of art are used to organize the elements of art. It determines the movement or direction it takes your eyes around the picture. There are many types of compositions; some of them resemble an S, O, U, T, L, S, and more. Understanding composition enhances the overall impact and storytelling in your photographs.
Composition in photography refers to the arrangement and organization of visual elements within a frame to create a compelling and harmonious image. It involves making deliberate choices about how to position and combine various elements like lines, shapes, colors, and textures. A well-composed photograph not only captures the subject but also guides the viewer's eyes in a way that enhances the overall impact and storytelling of the image.
Key Aspects of Composition:
Framing:
Choosing what to include within the frame and what to leave out is crucial. The frame acts as a boundary, focusing attention on the subject.
Rule of Thirds:
Dividing the frame into a 3x3 grid and placing key elements along these lines or at their intersections can create a visually pleasing balance.
Leading Lines:
Lines within an image (like a road, river, or architectural elements) can guide the viewer's eyes toward a focal point or create a sense of movement.
Symmetry and Asymmetry:
Symmetry can create a sense of balance, while asymmetry adds visual interest. Both can be used to guide the viewer's focus.
Contrast:
Contrast in color, tone, or texture helps certain elements stand out, drawing the viewer's eyes to specific areas of the photograph.
Depth and Perspective:
Creating a sense of depth enhances the three-dimensional feel of a photograph. This can be achieved through techniques like using leading lines, overlapping elements, or varying focus.
Balance:
Achieving balance ensures that no single element dominates the composition. Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial, depending on the desired effect.
Guiding the Viewer's Eyes:
Visual Hierarchy:
Establish a hierarchy of importance within the image. This can be achieved through the use of size, color, or contrast to make certain elements more prominent.
Focal Point:
Clearly define a focal point to which the viewer's eyes are naturally drawn. This can be the main subject or a strategically placed element within the composition.
Leading Lines:
Utilize leading lines to guide the viewer's eyes toward the main subject or a specific area of interest within the frame.
Contrast and Color:
Use contrast and color to create emphasis. A pop of color or a high-contrast element can immediately attract attention.
Positioning and Flow:
Consider how the viewer's eyes will move across the image. Arrange elements to create a natural flow that leads the eyes from one point of interest to another.
In summary, composition is about purposefully arranging elements within the frame to create a visually pleasing and impactful image. By understanding the principles of composition, photographers can effectively guide the viewer's eyes, control the narrative, and evoke specific emotions or reactions.
Practice:
Here are three famous photographs where you can circle or draw an arrow to the focal point:
"Migrant Mother" by Dorothea Lange:
Assignment: Circle to highlight the focal point. Consider how the photographer uses the expressions and gaze to create a compelling focal point.
"Afghan Girl" by Steve McCurry:
Assignment: Circle or draw an arrow pointing to the focal point. Notice how the intense gaze creates a powerful focal point and draws the viewer into the subject's emotions.
"The Falling Soldier" by Robert Capa:
Assignment: Draw an arrow pointing to the focal point. Reflect on how this focal point captures a decisive moment in the chaos of war, conveying both action and vulnerability.
For each photograph, consider the composition techniques that contribute to the effectiveness of the focal point. Pay attention to factors like framing, contrast, and the placement of elements within the frame. This exercise can help enhance your understanding of how photographers use focal points to guide and engage the viewer.
when I say I love english, NEVER am I talking about argument analysis
I have seen/experienced familiar things before but what happened today was unbelievable. I felt... betrayed. I never thought I would have to go through a day like this and that too involving that particular person. I should never ever think that one is good cause you never know when they'll step away. I was honestly hurt today. Maybe I was being kind towards the wrong person.
