Hey nB, are you still taking suggestions for aspects? if you do, I have a couple:
Stone
Leaf/Leaves
Luck may or may not be redundant, since Light Players are said to have control over Luck (ex: Vriska being the Thief of Light but she steals luck)
But I am not sure if the Light players controlling luck only applies to Vriska
"Light" has been canonically stated to preside over luck. The Hero of Light's powers always include luck/probability/fortune-related ones. Having a "luck" aspect would be redundant, yes.
However, I really like "Leaves" as an aspect. Plants and nature and such. Sufficiently different from Life, I think, and offering some interesting possibilities.
Lots of the new aspects overlap with ideas covered in the canon aspects, but I think that's a good thing because we need a large variety of aspects rather than just a few, key ones. If we were to be picky about it, we could probably cross out most of the list. Sense, pride, soul, dreams, mood, and fear could probably fit into "Mind," for instance.
... and I tried to make a design for "Pain." It's not polished, obviously, but it gets the idea across.

I love "Toil."

"El-ahrairah, your people cannot rule the world, for I will not have it so. All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
I don't know. I just read in the OP that
It was planned.
Plus, the aspects aren't just about one's abilities; they carry over to the player's experiences and knowledge. They are specializations which thoroughly resonate with each character. A player with the aspect of pain would not only know the best ways to cause it, but also why it's important, what it can do, and he likely would have personally experienced a lot of it.
Lots of specific aspects are preferable to a few broad ones, if only because there are lots of people interested in the subject.
I was thinking, can you make and art/color aspect? The symbol would be a paint splant (all colors of the rainbow including pink) and the color scheme would be all abstract.
Is this dead?

Best quotes from Homestuck:
Piss really? If any of them should be taken out, it should be that one, because I don't want to be remembered as the "Mage of Piss" I want something cool like the "Rouge of Darkness" or some cool crap.

Best quotes from Homestuck:
It's ~canon~. FedoraFreak's title is the Gent of Piss. You can't argue with something that's so completely
(Besides, I found some post floating around tumblr with a really interesting description of the "piss" aspect. Basically, the idea was that it was an aspect concerned with things broken, thrown away, old, ignored, forgotten - which could actually make for some really cool powers.)
Trying to bring this back from the dead with a Knight of Song.
