All right. So, I have some long-overdue writing here. If you've been following me for some time, you may know me as The Classpect Guy. I wanted to take a second and write out the full thoughts that underpin my meta, listed at the HSBC Predictions Page on the Classpect Connector.
I'll post the introduction here, and my predictions, but I want you all to take a look at my full text file before commenting, if you can.

========== Introduction ==========
I wanted to write this post as an explanation for my classpecting metas for HS:BC. At the risk of sounding trite, I tend to do classpecting based on two things: 1) the narrative role (as is required) and 2) the thematic context. As such, it behooves me to identify the thematic context in which I place these narrative roles, before I discuss each. The thematic context for classpecting in HSBC, in my view, has to do with two major things: heritage and reclamation.
Heritage is undeniably a core theme of HS:BC, as it is itself a continuation of Homestuck. Furthermore, half of the cast (Tavvy, Harry, Vrissy, Yiffy, and now Bowie) are descendants or kids of characters from the original comic, which only increases the impact of their parentage on who they are as characters. I would be remiss to ignore a shared theme of these characters when I classpect them.
Similarly, reclamation plays a big role in these classpects. As we have already seen with Del’fi being confirmed as a Seer of Life, a good chunk of these classpects are also trying to go back to what may be considered “traditional” symbolism and traditional foreshadowing for Classes and Aspects. (As opposed to the versions of them that often appear in fanon.) That isn’t to say that the fanon concept won’t be commented on—it will be, as it has been throughout Homestuck’s run of classpecting—but HS:BC presents a little bit of a return to form on this issue. This “return-to-form” is also in part a consequence of the story’s narrators: An MSPA Return Guy, and An MSPA Stop Cherub. This, however, leaves room for the characters to reclaim these ideals—after being cut down to zero, they may grow again.
At this point, I’m going to go through all of my classpect predictions as of today, October 17, 2026, explaining the narrative role, symbolism, and thematic links for each. Lock the fuck in.
