I figured out the difference between the life and doom aspects:
two players encounter a tall fence that says “KEEP OUT”
the life player says “fuck you” and starts to climb the fence
the doom player waits until life is near the top and then says “dude, the gate is unlocked”
#AKA life hates restrictions and defies them but doom accepts restrictions and works within them #and they’re both little shits

#sepulchritude#Homestuck#Homestuck Aspects#Life Aspect#Doom Aspect#Good Thoughts#though I don’t think climbing the fence is the best example#climbing the fence requires accepting the fence and playing by its rules#that’s not what we see Feferi and Meenah do#they identify an obstacle then look for a way to bypass it completely#Stymied by The Game Fef goes outside it and cuts a deal with the HTs to preserve a chance for victory beyond life#facing Total Erasure Meenah exploits a glitch The Tumor to preserve existence beyond the terms of The Game#and both repurpose Death into a tool of preserving Life in the process#Jane’s a bit of a combo breaker here but I think that’s because:#1)The B2 stuff is just generally less developed attended and well put together than previous stuff#which may in part be thematic given what that bit of the story is about#and her story in particular got hit bad with this as AH’s interest gravitated more towards Roxy and Dirk#which isn’t to say Jake got off better; just that Jane was set up to be the main POVchar then abandoned#the story was never interested in Jake beyond a supporting character/plot device#and 2)Condy took a much firmer and more smothering hand in her life than in Fef’s or Beforan!Fef in Meenah’s#Jane didn’t want to break out of The System she wanted to take it over and remake it in her image#which makes the whole CrockerMaid thing particularly Ironic#though there are some similarities in Fef’s initial ideas about reforming the Culling system in that#but anyway still Good Thoughts#minitagrambles#zA’s Subrosa Quibblings#Homestuck Role System#appreciative reblogs
