I think that these inversions we are seeing may stage something that will happen with Dirk. Since Heart has to do with soul, and he is a Prince. I think being a destroyer of Heart would lead to inversions or stability of such.

Princes are a hard case for inversion, though:  As destroyers of their aspect, they naturally ghost the aspect’s opposite without any actual inversion!  It’s what they’re supposed to do.  Mind is the aspect of logic and appearances/façade, and that’s essentially Dirk’s philosophy.  (Albeit, one he pours the strength and determination of his Heart into with a shocking degree!)

There almost certainly will be a major, powerful inversion, the way the stage is being set.  But Dirk is a poor candidate.

More likely, it's Jane Crocker.

GG: I just want to go to sleep and not wake up forever. 

Isn’t that a disturbing image/speech pair for a Maid of Life?  Especially when you consider that “dreaming and not waking up forever” is death in Homestuck!

She wields a red pitchfork even; all she needs is a bit of dead-friends/dead-relatives/dead-relationships trauma and a metaphorical perforated tail.  (And maybe a mind-control headband with the Condesce pushing her over the edge.)

There’s even circumstantial evidence that Gamzee intends to provoke this inversion, hinted by Kurloz:

And he certainly succeeded in denying her the comfort and stability of a guide to direct her goals, with the temporary Tavrisprite debacle.

Her inverted role, by the way?  If my chart holds up, she’d be analogous to a Bard of Doom.  Scary, scary stuff!
