Cupiciliant

Whats up, I made a term I know is useful for myself and might be useful for yall too.

Ya know homestuck quadrants? How they have a whole nonhuman version of committed relationships that Arent human romance? Sometimes you just feel that, and sometimes you get a Kismesis in real life, or you have a Moirail who you help and who helps you.

Thats what this is. Its a term for everyone who either feels quadrant-based feelings (flush, pale, black, ashen) exclusively or not, OR someone who may not feel those feelings, but willingly participates in those relationships (Like how ace folk might still have sexual relationships or aros like me are still in romantic relationships.) 

The colors are. Literally just the colors of the quadrant symbols in homestuck, with the red outline to represent the combination of Human Romance and Troll Romance when it happens.

Grasshopper: A troll that expresses their masculinity through softness, comfort, and calm.

Katydid: A troll that expresses their masculinity through daintiness, delicacy, and calm.

Mantis: A troll that expresses their femininity through extravagance, grace, and violence.

Cockroach: A troll that expresses their femininity through ruggedness, mess, and violence.

✦ quadrant based attraction - a revamp

the quadrant system is a model of attraction created by the webcomic homestuck. while someone has already broken down the quadrants into facets of attraction here, we figured we would take our own stab at it! (with permission from the original creator of course!) this is meant for anyone interested in the concept, although it helps to have prior knowledge! if you find this attraction model appealing, a wikipedia page exists that explains it well here, but we'll be going in depth ourselves under the cut!

and now for a more in depth explanation of quadrants and each facet of attraction! as you can see, there are four quadrants - matespritship or matespritian (heart), moirallegiance or moirallegian (diamond), kismesissitude or kismesian (spade), and auspisticism or auspistian (club).

they're divided into two groups: red romance fueled by love/positive feelings, and black romance fueled by negative feelings/hate. you can have multiple people in one quadrant, or only one, the concept of quadrants is polyamorous by default, but some choose to have only one moirail, kismesis etc. you can also have different sexualities for different quadrants! for example: you could be a gay man who is exclusively in matespritships with men, but could be in a moirallegiance with anyone of any gender. you could also be in an auspisticism with multiple genders, this is because both moirallegiance and auspisticism are usually based on platonic feelings as opposed to romantic or sexual. this does not invalidate the person's status as a gay man, it's just how they would do quadrants!

flipping or "vacillating" between quadrants is a natural occurrence as well. the feelings you may have for someone can be complicated and if you feel you'd want to be moirails with someone as opposed to in a kismesissitude or any other form of vacillation it's just something to talk over with your quadmate!

now, specifics for each quadrant will be under the cut!
