:33 < what is a quadrant like you ask
:33 < i'm so glad you asked purrospero!
:33 < a quadrant is one of the four types of romance that can exist fur trolls
:33 < your matesprit, your moirail, your kismesis, and your auspitice are all important!
:33 < people sometimes think that the matesprit and the kismesis are the really important ones because you'll get culled if you don't have those filled on imperial drone day
:33 < but your morail and auspitice will help you survive every other day of the sw33p

:33 < okay, no time to waste!
:33 < let's get started

[A sketch of Ledah and April with a heart between them, a sketch of Shakespeare and Francis with a heart between them, a sketch of Diarmuid and Grainne with a heart between them, a sketch of Atsuro and Madoka with a heart between them, a sketch of Saori and Kaiji with a heart between them.]

:33 < human romantic relationships are most like matespritship
:33 < the flushed quadrant is the one with so much affection that turns into mating fondness
:33 < passionate love, in other words

:33 < wow, there sure are a lot of these in purrospero!
:33 < diarmuid and grainne have a committed flushed relationship
:33 < we don't have those as often as you do, but they're wonderfur to think about!
:33 < ledah and april obviously are about to take the step into starting their relationship
:33 < shakespeare and francis are just redflirting everywhere
:33 < atsuro and madoka are so cute, and by their age we usually have a steady matesprit, so they're a good example
:33 < and saori and kaiji are cute too!

[A sketch of Diarmuid and Issei with a diamond between them. And a sketch of Nepeta with another troll (Equius).]

:33 < this is moirallegiance, the pale quadrant
:33 < it might be my favorite quadrant if i didn't try not to pick favorites
:33 < a moirail is like what you'd call a d33p friend, but different
:33 < a moirail will get you to talk about your f33lings and protect you
:33 < sometimes that means calming you down and/or k33ping you from doing stupid things that will hurt you in the end
:33 < sometimes that means killing anyone who looks at you the wrong way
:33 < equius is better at the second one

:33 < equius is my moirail, and i'm very happy with him!
:33 < we've b33n meowrails fur a long time
:33 < i miss him...
:33 < diarmuid and issei have a great moirallegiance here
:33 < they have f33lings jams purractically all the time
:33 < and they're both good at making the other one reconsider the stupid thing they were about to do
:33 < not to mention purrotecting the other
:33 < they have one of the best meowrallegiances i've s33n!

[A sketch of Kayneth, Arturia, and Diarmuid with clubs between them; a sketch of Vriska, Issei, and a question mark with clubs between them.]

:33 < an auspitice is the only quadrant that usually works with two or thr33 trolls
:33 < the ashen quadrant is about making sure two other trolls don't kill each other, basically!
:33 < if you do that with furrocious force or if you do that with words, as long as you get the job done, you can be a good auspitice
:33 < we n33d auspitices to stop black infidelity
:33 < which is bad
:33 < really bad
:33 < imagine someone you hated already cheating on you and you'll know why

:33 < kayneth, arturia, and diarmuid had a thr33-person-type auspitice, at least for a while there
:33 < arturia was in the middle and kept diarmuid from going after kayneth until he calmed down
:33 < vriskers and issei have a two-person-type auspitice
:33 < if vriskers and i got into a catfight, issei would break us up, since she has a kismesis already
:33 < besides, i don't think he likes fighting very much...

[A sketch of Ingrid and Klaus with a spade between them, a sketch of Gilgamesh and Beatrice with a spade between them, a sketch of Vriska and Feferi with a spade between them, a sketch of V/V and Albedo with a spade between them.]

:33 < the caliginous quadrant is kismesisstude
:33 < you hate someone so much
:33 < SO MUCH
:33 < that you start a committed rivalry with them
:33 < you focus on this person over everyone else
:33 < clothes start flying, and... meow!
:33 < you can't just defeat or kill your kismesis
:33 < then there won't be a relationship anymore
:33 < there has to be not much of a gap betw33n your skills

:33 < ingrid and klaus are purretty good at trolling each other
:33 < gilgamesh and beatrice are too
:33 < but if you really want to know how a kismesis works, look at vriskers and feferi
:33 < i'm not sure if i should list albedo's black f33lings here
:33 < they're obviously onesided
:33 < but i don't think v/v's f33lings are red either
:33 < she just likes everyone that way!

:33 < which brings me to...

[A sketch of Diarmuid and Ryuunosuke with both a heart and a spade between them.]

:33 < sometimes you can't decide whether to be in a flushed or caliginous relationship
:33 < this is normal, don't panic!
:33 < the matesprit/kismesis double reacharound usually has one person's black f33lings reacting to the other person's red ones
:33 < this isn't really a quadrant, and should settle if it has enough time

:33 < diarmuid's f33lings for ryuunosuke are black, black, black
:33 < and no wonder, he'd get all his quadrants filled!
:33 < grainne for flushed, issei for pale, kayneth and arturia for ashen (sorta, now), and ryuunosuke for caliginous
:33 < unfortunately ryuunosuke's flushed for him
:33 < he's flushed for a lot of people, actually...
:33 < that's not the point right now
:33 < the combination can be explosive!

:33 < does everyone s33?
:33 < i'll take questions after i take a catnap
