The Light Player Problem
Jan. 10th, 2019 09:37 am...Is a term coined during my classpect meta discussions with Bumblebard and will be defined here for future reference
So! Going solely off of the letter of the aspect, and given what we know about how Light powers work, it seems like Light players should be these knowledge-driven support players, the quintessential boring-but-necessary utility class. And while this is technically true to a degree, every single light player in homestuck proper also has a chronic case of Never Does Anything Small and a bone-deep driving desire to fuck shit up on a scale measured in entire timelines. Or, to put it more simply:
Sburb: You are a support main.
The Light Player, In All Likelihood: The FUCK I am! *Kicks over a trashcan and sets fire to the sun*
OCs that represent the Light Player Problem: Charlize, Ami, Sigal
Characters from other media that represent the Light Player Problem: Morrigan, Barry Bluejeans, The Medic, MA
