CLASSPECULATION:

The classes also have binding themes.

Roleplaying is a very large concept in Homestuck, and it stems from FLARP. Most of the time, roleplaying is unhealthy for the players and doesn't work out (see: Vriska as Mindfang, Eridan as a wizard, Dirk as a Knight), but occasionally it does not affect the player (see: Rose as a wizard).

Also no, Rose roleplaying the wizard did not result in her being unhealthy, and she was not inverting. The inversion theory is not canon and was confirmed untrue by someone very close to Hussie at the time. She continued to be an effective Seer of Light, seeking out information intended to be used to benefit the session and her friends, and could recognize that she was not a wizard but a Seer.

Eridan, on the other hand, failed at roleplaying the wizard because he could not separate it from who he actually was. Instead of making it a side thing, he tied it in with his Prince of Hope title and used his role to fuel his natural inclination to destroy. The same goes for Vriska; she was roleplaying a Sylph, and tried to be exactly like Mindfang. This resulted in her doing quite a bit of dumb things, like creating Bec Noir and inevitably getting herself killed. Space/Time

Though I'm inclined to believe that the aspects are more fundamentally linked as a whole. Something I'm absolutely sure of is that these "aspect pairs" should not be considered opposing concepts, but rather complementary ones; as one does not exist without the other. Would it make sense, too, that a universe could not function if it was made up of totally opposing concepts? This is where a fallacy of the inversion theory presents itself: an "inverse" aspect does not exist for any given aspect, at least not on a fundamental level, because if one did exist, the universe would be off-balance. Think of the concept of yin-yang, where the universe is balanced because of these two seemingly opposing concepts. Really, though, one cannot exist without the other, and every yin has a bit of yang, and vice versa. This is why it is important to view the aspects not as a system of opposites, but as a system of compliments.
