Instinct

Basic troll instinct pushes a troll to fill as many quadrants as possible and as soon as possible. This is for basic survival as it could risk one getting culled should they not follow through. Having more than one filled quadrant obviously gives you better odds. Say for instance your matesprit (your only filled quadrant in this scenario) gets killed by some sort of beast and the next day the collector comes by and... oops. Will you look at that? Tough luck, you get culled. Sure wish you filled your other quadrants, huh?

Sometimes this instinct backfires and may cause a troll to force themselves into a quadrant where they may come to realize their feelings are not as strong as they thought. Like falsely mistaking pale inclinations for red. Now of course it is best to have at least one of the bucket filling quadrants filled, that this to say the red and black quadrants.

Filling all the Quadrants

It is possible to have all your quadrants filled. Although, take caution as the more quadrants you have filled the more complicated your interpersonal relationships become. Especially if those you are filling quadrants with happen to know one another, you will find plenty of angry jealous trolls left and right. Just imagine you are a rubberband, each filled quadrant adds tension and pulls you taut. There is only so far rubberband to stretch before something gives and snaps.

Quadrant vacillation 

Quadrant vacillation is when you are flipping between 2 quadrants. From my understanding there are two ways this can happen.

There is 1, vacillating between red and black.

Which should be perfectly fine so long as both parties don't have either of their red or black quadrants filled (aside from their vaccinating relationship of course). Characteristized by torrid emotions, an important element in quadrant vacillation.

2, is flipping between ashen and black quadrants.

Or what I like to call the "part-time auspice". This can happen if the auspice is uninterested or generally ineffective in their work. The auspice is supposed to suppress the black emotions between both parties by acting as a mediator between them. Should they fail to do so the two will be exposed to their full force of their calignous feelings and flip into the black quadrant. 

There does not seem to be vacillating between pale and red relationships as it makes little sense, as a pale relationship is essentially red without the intense passion or desire to procreate. As is apparent here, strong, unstable, or fluctuating emotions have a lot to do with vacillation. 

Ashen Relationships: The Jugglers

Theoretically, it also seems possible to be in more than one ashen relationship as either a mediator or a participant. Why do you ask? Well the quadrant basically only exists should a troll have more calignous relationships than they could handle (that is, more than one since you can only really have 1). Granted, I am sure this kind of setup is incredibly rare and difficult to pursue but it is not impossible given the right circumstances.

The ashen quadrant can be used strategically so not to upset the balance in another quadrant. Say Troll A in your red quadrant platonicaly hates Troll B who you are pursuing a blackrom with. This can upset the balance in the red relationship you have with Troll A should go through with a blackrom with the aforementioned black crush. To remedy this, you can have an auspice intervene keeping all parties happy.

Red and Black Infidelity

While red infidelity is incredibly painful black infidelity can be too. Yes blackrom centers around negative emotions but there is an element of trust there. So should someone cheat on you it is understandable to be upset. 

Red infidelity is more shocking and painful for those experiencing it as it is a relationship based on positive interaction. Depending how the situation is dealt with there is a possibility to turn the infidelity into a vacillation into a calignous quadrant. In a sense, that is the best case scenario you can hope for. Infidelity is quite common in younger trolls and is often expected. Although because of the nature of red romances, infidelity in this quadrant is frowned upon.

Rejection

Can't talk about troll romance without talking about rejection. To be rejected in any quadrant is painful especially in the flushed and calignous ones as they are based on trust. Clearly there must be some established trust between the trolls before they confess their feelings so to be rejected affects that presumed trust. Depending on the severity of the rejection can leave you in a sorry emotional state for some time, especially in cases where that troll is concerned. Rejected moirailaggence can sting as well since there is a trust element here too. With the ashen quadrant, depending on the emotional involvement of the auspice there is no telling what can happen, it can vary. 

Moiraillegance vs Best friends

Do not forget moraillegance is still considered a romance. It is a step above what is refered to as a best friend. A best friend is someone who you love platonically. A moirail while still platonic is considered as a type of soulmate who understands you best and vice versa. Unconditional love. A confidant.

Moirail Marking

Highbloods may mark their moirails by giving them something displaying their blood color to essentially get others to back off and not mess with them. May be possible with other quadrants as well.

Hemospectrum Mixing

Is greatly frowned upon by the upper echelon to mix with low bloods. So blue blood and higher should fill quadrants with those worthy enough. Lower bloods have more freedom in that regard. The lowered life expectancy for low bloods also serves as a deterant for quadrant filling highbloods. 

Ascending the Quadrant System

The fabled ascension from the quadrant system is fabled between the Disciple and the Signless. Now the reason it is fable is because it is inprobable and almost impossible, which is why it is only present in troll legend. The quadrant system has been beaten into trolls generation after generation of-- lord knows how long this imaginary culture created by Hussie has metaphorically existed, JUST, A LONG TIME.

Imagine, dealing with teenage hormones and trying to find A, as in SINGULAR, as in ONE person to start a relationship with. Cool. Now imagine having those same hormones and having the inexplicable urge to find SEVERAL, as in PLURAL, as in MULTIPLE significant others who may or may not fit in the quadrant you thought they would. So here I say, transcending the quadrants? Ain't nobody got time for that. This is why it is a myth.
