this will be poor in quality but i hope it opens up some more disscusion, this is not at all fleshed out Le Lol. of course its related element is air but there is also a lot of fire when it comes to John and Tavros
In the early acts john says something about how his father always has a fire lit, its like a key thing for homes to have. Johns father is also seen with a pipe a lot, i belive this is to show how john is to be challenged by his title as Heir of Breath to clear the skys and make it easier to breath or smthn lol. anything thing id like to bring up is his nana being cremated, like burned up and shit idk, just seems to be a lot of this early on. now tavros is less evident but when he first talks to dave hes talking about spitting sick FIRES, as hes known to do. he is also shown in a dream bubble (possibly due to it being in a bubble) to have pyro kenitics??? no one remembers this but he shoots fire out of his hands its super cool and also leads to a lot of speculaion on his god tier powers as a page of breath with pyro powers.
any/all, love will win despite anything and everything against it.

ohhhh.. thats really interesting!!! it would also make sense just in the way that theres a lot of scientific references in hs and air is a REALLY important element in fire... thats really neat!
I think that your 'element', let's say, for example air, is sort of subconsciously challenged by the narrative. John's home life is filled with fire, and as the Heir of Breath one of his character arc goals is to let go of his childhood, metaphorically harnessing the air to blow out the flames. Just a thought.

OPKAY i havbe more classpecting is my fav part but i like to look at aspect pairs void and heart are the most obvious pairing that show up in the comic from the iconic moraligance or nepeta and equius nect up roxy dirk in act 6 another great pairing with a cool dynamic this is getting to be a stretch but fefetasprite (nepeta) and roxy being friends on janes land you also have arquius and dirk on dirks land i find this so interesting because you get multiple views of this as though skia is making it so these pairing happens i think they mingle because of the missing something, nepeta being akward not really being able to mingle right dirk having his splinters always unsure of who is roxy and equius... idk! lol

ooh! i think you're onto something with the void/heart pairing that i hadn't considered before. i think the void players we see in the comic are both pretty stable people. well, ok, maybe stable isn't the word, but i think it's adjacent to what i mean; a lot of equius' arc revolves around not changing, he's static. roxy is actually just stable in like, the stable way.
like, dirk is very much not stable; man is constantly falling apart and not just because of the splinters. and i think nepeta's lack of stability is maybe another similar element; and why she spends so much time focusing on shipping and categorisation as a structural element to her life (that, until the game started, had been very unstructured i.e living in a cave and hunting lol.)
also, equius kind of generally represents order, and roxy is basically the leader of their session. i don't know where i'm going with this i just think you've got something here!
separately, i think a similar sort of thing comes about or is at least implied with breath/light. like, we see it with vriska and john, vriska and tavros, we see it with karkat's suggestion of the john/rose ship. like, even though they don't really come to fruition, it feels like there's a narrative force trying and failing to push those together to me edit: oh my god the grey is unreadable on yellow im sorry

i’ve been thinking ab this, & the only other pair i’ve thought of so far ( besides breath & light, which someone already mentioned) is blood & space!! bc of karkat & jade, karkat & kanaya, and porrim & kankri/the sufferer & the dolorosa. also, iirc, space players are supposed to be disconnected from other ppl, while the blood aspect is all about connections with ppl.. i just think that’s really interesting! :]
