Raise your hand if you are a person able to become pregnant, are disabled or mentally ill, are a person of color, or are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and you are the most terrified you have ever been and believe hanging the American flag upside down right now is 100% justified. Trying to prove a point.

"why are you so criticial of a country/capitalism/religion/etc? Your life is good." ah you see, I have this crazy thing where I care about other people and want them to have good lives as well.

tbh i'd go farther to say dirty bong water lol

My brother and I were in a movie theater discussing what we thought “America’s drink” was and he said “bong water.”

“This user is a Knight of Space” - 🩸

bwoosh

Concept: a knight of space who grows mushrooms.

if ur ok with requests can u analyze knight of space :0c

Yeah, I'm okay with requests! I actively encourage them, in fact!

Okay so: The Knight of Space. (Disclaimer: Pretty much everything here is speculation. I’m mostly doing this because I find Classpects really really interesting, so this might not be super accurate. Also, I will be looking at cookie cutter examples for personality. Those parts are mostly for 1.) Making characters and 2.) Being like “Oh my god that’s me wow that’s so cool”. Okay anyway lets actually do this thing. WHERE MAKING THIS HAPEN)

KNIGHT

The Knight class is very powerful, especially considering they get a lot of their powers before god-tiering. (im jealous - the page) The Knight is the active version of the Page class, and they would manipulate their aspect, or manipulate through their aspect. Looking at the canon Knights (excluding Latula because I find her hard to analyze), we have Dave Strider, the Knight of Time (Endings, Death) , and Karkat Vantas, the Knight of Blood (Companionship, Bonds) (OMG GAY PEOPLE!??/?!!??!?!?)

Anyway, Dave Strider. Dave had an inherent talent for his aspect, and got the hang of time travel and time loops pretty quickly. (He also self-prototyped, which might be a time player thing considering they already surround themselves with clones anyway.) He also very actively exploited Time to get rich. However, he rejected parts of his aspect, specifically the death and endings part, and tried to cover up his lack of comfortability with his own mortality with a constant "cool guy" routine. Knights also are very likely to show up in sessions lacking their Aspect, and Dave was in a session that had only about a day before the reckoning.

Karkat Vantas is the Knight of Blood, and while Blood is less flashy than Time, he still exploited the hell out of his aspect. He basically used Blood to have everyone rally around him, in a positive way or not. He had everyone basically unite in sort of hating him, and that held the session together. Trolls are a very violent race on Alternia, and so there was a lack of Blood, but Karkat pulled everyone together. He rejected how much he loved his friends by putting on a "I HATE EVERYONE" façade.

SPACE

Space is one of the “big two” aspects, Time and Space, which are both necessary for a successful session, and both have an aspect that elaborates on one facet of the aspect, Doom and Life. That being said, Space is about creation, the laws that govern reality, and well, physical space. Personality wise, this results in most Space players being creative people, and ones who are interested in science, typically some branch of astrophysics. Some Space players manifest their aspect as nurturing behaviors, although this is most commonly shown in Sylphs and Maids, the two “Caretaker” classes.

KNIGHT OF SPACE - PERSONALITY

The Knight of Space would probably be really creative, but tunnel vision on one part of their aspect. For example, a Knight of Space might be very creative, good at drawing, really like puzzles, etc. But, they would only focus on say, making cosplay. They would likely be interested in all the other things, but think that they were too "lame" or "soft" to be interested in. (Have I mentioned that Knights seem to desperately try to be cool to everyone around them? That's not just a Dave thing.)

As time went on, the Knight would realize that they are allowed to like what they like, even if it's "cringe" or "lame". They would take off their mask of coolness, and allow people to see who they truly are, and if they didn't like it, they could just buzz off! The Knight, at heart, would be pretty excited about Space-y things, and be pretty good at them too!

KNIGHT OF SPACE - ABILITIES

As I said, the Knight of Space would be pretty powerful before god-tiering. In the beginning, they could probably get some low-level items spontaneously generated, like a Perfectly Generic Object or something along those lines. I can also imagine a Knight of Space having a planet with some sort of teleportation gates, and they would find out how to use them.

At higher levels, the Knight would be able to instantly appear an object, and probably game that ability for INFINITE GRIST. Alternatively, they could also game that ability for INFINITE BOONDOLLARS. It's their choice really. The Knight would also be able to teleport themselves and other objects.

Knights also protect their aspect, such as Dave protecting the timeline, and Karkat protecting the bonds between everyone. A Knight of Space might be very protective of things that are still growing, so they might be a very protective older sibling, or even somebody that would KILL for their cactus.

CONCLUSION

So, a Knight is a pretty powerful class. Especially considering the fact that Space is a pretty gosh darn powerful aspect in itself. To reach their full potential, a Muse of Space would, as usual, be pretty useful. However, I can see a Seer of Rage showing them how to be skeptical of their own front to cover up a part of their aspect. The Knight would also be really good at creating the Genesis Frog, and in general the Knight would be pretty good at "Space Duties", unless they fail to remove their front, in which case they may not be successful at all. (The Knight would also be very very homosexual and gay /j)

Feel free to recommend a Classpect, or to ask me about other SBURB stuff. Or just random questions.

howdy!! its nice to see a new classpecting blog in this year of 2021 :D (and a really active one at that- but please try not to overwork yourself!) i'd love to hear your take on a knight of space! and maybe weapon ideas, perhaps nature or writing themed?

I love how you sent this and then I went dead for like 4 months or something. But thank you so much it means the world to me so sorry about the wait.

Knights are a neat class, described the ones who exploit their aspect as a weapon, as mentioned by Aradia. It's speculated that they may be the ones who serve their aspect or serve through their aspect for the betterment of others. Knights are always known to have some sort of mask, or fear of being wrong or a let down in some way. This is seen with Dave's cool kid persona to hide away at his insecurities, karkats anger and Grey scale palette to hide both his blood color and mask how deeply he truly cares for his friends, and latulas gamer girl persona to.. mask the fact she is nose blind? Or maybe it's to da with the fact she feels insignificant who KNOWS. Who am I to judge though. Moving on !!!! Knights also have a noted pattern of their session lacking what their aspect was. Dave's session was short on reckoning time, karkats session was full of betrayal and broken bonds despite his best efforts, and latulas session is described as "a series of bad decisions".

That last bit does not seem to bode well for a Knigjt of Space but all is not lost!!!!

Space!!!!! Space is all about creativity, it's about finding your own path, doing things YOUR way. Space players are very smart and calculated, but can be painfully aware of when it's time to let soemthing die and are not ones to dwell on absolutes. We see this alot with Jade early in the comic, very omnipotent about what's going to happen with the game na dbeing very.. nonchalant about the chaos that ensues around her. Kanaya too has a stronger sense of intuition, being a very smart and calculated Sylph even if she was meddlesome a little bit we still love her sobs. Space players. Unlike time players, don't have much care for the future. In the sense I mean they don't worry about it. They are very shoot now ask questions later, focused on living in the present and doesn't put alot of great thought or care into what might happen. Space is ever growing , in our real life. The universe is expanding and growing and so do Space players!!!

The inverse of a Knight of Space is a Rogue of Time!!! Both very interesting classes.

So! Let's tie this all up and fuse these bitch like it's monster high freaky fusion

Knights of Space start of with.. a deficit or flaw of some kind that they try to hide. They are extremely skilled at what they do I think. They are the Jack's of All trades, but they really think of themselves of Masters of None. They feel like they aren't good enough or don't do well with whatever project they are trying to complete. Artists are like this alot, but a Knight of Space might scrap a project because in the now it doesn't look where they want it to be without considering that maybe it'll look even better if they keep going. They constantly bounce from pr9ject to project, maybe they do the same thing for their various interests. Knights of Space develop very fast, they are quick and detailed workers, but Knights also tend to use their aspect without realizing their consequences. Maybe they rush the creation process or even take too long trying to perfect the genesis frog and fuck something up, ruining their session or maybe reality a little more wacky than what they wanted it to be. If it gets severe enough, like any artists; they may forfeit their own health for their art

Weapon time!

Knights have been seen primarily with bladed and sharp weapons l, though with Latula we can perhaps assume she has some similar to terezis staff sword thing!!

Space players tend to use Tactical / Close range, seen with kanayas Chainsaw and Jades rifle!

Writing Themed

- penkind, primarily a calligraphy ink pen with the metal tip could slice and dice and be a cool weapon, plus special moves using the ink ? That'd be cool! Maybe it could be uh. I forgot the word combined? Fused? With something nature themed to give it a pretty flowers and vines all around it!

Nature Themed

- Axekind, not inheritly nature themed but it is a blade and ties into the specific ranges space players death with

- Shovel, goes hand in hand with Axe

I hope this helps!!!!

Punk Gardening!

It’s that time of year again where you are all out there planting gardens and being anxious about how none of your seeds have come up, or they’re “leggy” or there’s too many weeds or you didn’t water them enough.

And I’m here to say screw all that. You’ve been sold what a “garden should look like” by pesticide and herbicide companies. To be perfectly honest you’ve been sold that about your lawn too, but that’s for another post. It's time to take back gardening and grow some delicious, nutritious food!

So let’s talk about some things that can make you grow a happy, healthy, gnarly-butt garden that’s gonna grow a lot of food and take very little actual effort.

First: Weeds

There’s no such thing. Weeds are a myth. There are plants in your garden that weren’t the ones you planted? Great. Plants like to grow in your dirt. That should make you happy. It means the ones you want to grow will probably also like your dirt and want to grow their fruit/bodies there.

You’ve probably been told non-planted plants take nutrients from the plants you want there. They don’t. Seriously. For one thing, plants need different things, and clover isn’t going to want the same nutrients as your tomatoes, and it’s also probably not going to out-compete your tomatoes for sun. In fact, “weeds” also contribute good things and generally work together with your other plants.

Good plants to see growing in your garden:

Clover: A nitrogen fixer, meaning it will help your garden self-fertilize year to year. You want as much of this as possible in your lawn, too. It’s killed by a lot of major herbicides though, so to justify it’s use, you’ve probably gotten told you want a monoculture of bladelike leaves for the “perfect lawn”. A perfect lawn like that is both really hard to keep alive if not the exact correct type for your yard, and also generally needs added nitrogen fertilizer… because you removed the clover with your herbicide… sigh.

Dandelions: These are great because they have a really deep taproot that breaks up ground and brings water and nutrients to the surface for your other plants to enjoy. This means less watering, less fertilizing, and less need to till the soil before planting! Plus, young dandelion greens, while bitter, make a great topping for a salty sandwich or pasta dish. Their early-season buds can be pickled for capers, and if you’re vegan, cheap, or just want some variety, you can make dandelion “honey” by using dandelion flowers to flavor a sugar syrup.

Henbit: not going to hurt anything, gives good root mats that can help keep water in the soil around your plants, and is also edible, if bitter.

Grass: Similar to henbit, it creates a root mat that aerates soil, keeps in moisture, and prevents erosion.

Plantain: There’s not as much I can say about this one, but it’s not going to hurt anything. And you can make tea out of it if you like.

The only plants I would really take out are the spiky ones (that might make it hard for you to access your food come time for harvest, and are easier to remove when small) and really tall ones with large leaves, which genuinely may shade out smaller plants, especially at the beginning of growing season. If you have a bed near a tree that produces a lot of seedlings, you may also want to be selective about which ones you keep, if any.

Second: Choosing Seeds

You can go the cheap/free way (link), and make yourself a nice dumpster garden out of discarded food scraps. If you’re particularly daring or broke I recommend going to an actual dumpster, since a lot of the discarded produce will be overripe and most plant-able. If you’re gonna invest in seeds, though- make them ones that are native to your area. As my dad found out after several failed years of 2-fruit harvests- growing lemons in Ohio is expensive and futile. Something like sweet potatoes or squash though will be a much better use of your energy.

You can easily recoup your investment in good seeds if you get heirloom and save the seeds for next year, limiting the number of times you’ll have to buy them in a lifetime. A lot of time it’s as easy as letting a few plants/fruits “go to seed” or overripen, then remove and dry the seeds. This is especially easy for brassicas, lettuces, and greens, but can also be done for tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, and others with a little research and strategic planting to ensure minimal inopportune cross pollination.

Third: Planting and Care of Your Plants

Historically, nature has been pretty dang successful in growing things. Even things humans have decided we like to eat. The biggest thing you can do for yourself here is think “what would nature do?”.

Nature doesn’t till. Generally you can help root veg (carrots, beets, potatoes, etc…) get a little bigger/more uniform by roughing up the soil, but you don’t have to do it for anything else. Not tilling actually helps plants grow longer and more complex root systems, which decreases the need for watering and fertilizing, and they’re more likely to survive high winds.

Nature doesn’t plant things in rows ¼ inch deep. She dumps a ton of seeds in one area, half of them get eaten by birds, the other half sprout and beat each other up trying to get sunlight. A few nice, hardy, delicious plants remain. You can take some advice from this, but also help nature in this regard. I recommend dumping a ton of seeds in a section, then scrabbling your hand through them and the dirt over the area you’d like them to grow. There. Planted. Some will grow too close to each other and may stunt each other’s growth. You can thin to an appropriate distance, and generally eat the sprouts whole in a salad. You’re just gonna have to assume that some of the seeds will be eaten by birds/squirrels and be okay with that. Seeds are cheap and a renewable resource- especially if you got them from a dumpster.  

Nature doesn’t start seeds indoors. Just plant when it says on the packet outside.

Nature doesn’t water things regularly. If the soil is super dry when you plant, you may want to dampen it with some tap water. Other than that, water only when it’s been dry for a week or so, or the ground is exceptionally dry despite your clover and grass cover.

Nature doesn’t use petroleum-based fertilizers. She uses composted organic material (vegetable food scraps, yard waste if you’re on a 1-year compost cycle, plus pet waste, meat and dairy scraps if you’re on a 3-5 year cycle), and urine. Yes your urine. It’s great. High in nitrogen. Very free. Add it to your compost or use it directly by mixing it with about 3 parts water. You can either apply it in the rain or just try not to get too much of it on the leaves- pee plus sun will burn leaves.  

Finally, nature doesn’t neatly harvest on a particular schedule. Leave a tomato plant out and watch a deer go to town on it. We actually had all of our tomato plants last year eaten down to nubs early in the season, and they came back and gave us one of the best harvests ever! I don’t recommend this as a strategy, per se, but if you’re picking something like greens or basil, harvest by just grabbing handfuls and ripping it off the plant. Our basil and other greens LOVE this and grow massively when we do this.

Fourth: Miscellaneous Tips

Move your plants around year to year. Crop rotation isn’t just a big farm thing. Tomatoes are going to take what they need from the soil but leave the rest and add something back with their own decomposition, which might be something your squash wants next year, etc.. You don’t have to be perfect about it, just try to put things in different places from the year before.

Speaking of which, once you’ve gotten what you can out of them, just chop the plants up and cover them with a little topsoil or mulch at the end of the season. Saves you time and returns everything you can back to the soil. You may get volunteers next season, but really the more the merrier!

Also- some plants you can eat a lot more of than others. For example, the only thing edible on a tomato plant is the tomatoes. But radishes? You can eat the root, the greens, the flowers, and the seed pods, and they are all great! Look into other things you have growing and you might end up with more food than you thought!

Your plants will look weird. That’s okay. Some of the leaves may rot or fall off. The tubers will be weird shapes because they grew next to a rock. Some of them will get eaten or break and be a little behind because they had to grow back. Your tomatoes may have a crack or two in them. Just eat those first. Produce isn’t supposed to be as perfect as it is at the store, and it’s not a problem that it loses a few leaves or is “leggy” at first or other things people worry about. Plants grow, sometimes weirdly. That’s really, genuinely, okay. It very likely won’t harm the end product at all.

...I wonder if this has anything to do with the compensation Uber has to do for drivers that get their cars messed up from passengers? because if they do this they not only defeat the purpose of the service, but it'll increase DUI's, car accidents, and they'll lose tons of money from the lack of drunk people being ordered rides home so they're safe instead of dead, and anyone with 2 braincells to rub together can assume this as well.

that sounds so badass too lol

its a very long cycle of seeing how many hoops we can jump through for the government, while the gov't takes away life-given rights (access to food, shelter and water) very slowly to force us to go through said hoops and eventually we'll be out priced on homes, outpriced on food and water and families will have no choice but work for all of this until it kills them or until all american populous just gets tired of it and revolts

If they're susceptible to their bible being re-translated, mistranslated, and then translated again in a huge process over the history of christianity, then I believe they're susceptible to anything lol
