It has come to my attention that the greater part of you [humans, he means--] remain completely and inconcevviably ignorant of the fundamentals of troll romance. WWhile this is not all together surprising, considering the lack of reading material pertaining to our culture, are you incapable of making any sort of inferences wwhatsoevver? I didn't think it especially difficult to assume an alien species wwould also havve alien customs, nor is observvation from afar a particularly arduous task.
If you still fail to comprehend my forthcoming explanation of a single aspect of our culture, ask a lowwblood to further elaborate; howwevver grueling that may be.

Matespritship is of the flushed quadrant. I expect this to be the easiest for you to grasp, as it is the most similar to human romance. Howwevver, the concept of 'pity' takes more prevvalence. It is concupiscent.
Moirallegiance resides in the pale quadrant. It typically occurs wwhen twwo trolls devvise something of a pact wwith each other in order to counterbalance their traits. As insinuated, one is the instigator, wwhile the other is the pacifier.

[INSTIGATOR OF... WHAT. sure is being inexplicit here]

Kismissitude, in contrast to matespritship, is a rivvalry; though it is also the other of the reproductivve quadrants. It is considered to be caliginous. This seems to be the most difficult for humans to wwrap their ~~thinkpans~~ heads around, as it lacks a more distinct parallel. Consider it synonymous to havving someone you loathe dearly, though also find attractivve-- the description in itself provving to be a markedly shalloww comparison, but that's a necessity. Generally, as it is a rivvalry, it requires the acceptance of equality.
Thus, I suggest you refrain from ostentatious displays of hatred for another of my species here, lest they get the... wwrong idea.

[hint fucking hint. ahem.]

Auspicitization occurs wwhen a third troll intervvenes wwith the relationship abovve. This is to prevvent one another from outright murdering each other, wwhich wwould obvviously vvoid the possibility of a successful filling. It is also to prevvent unitentional infidelity, as a kismissitude can quickly become destructivve to nonparticipants. Its quadrant is the ashen one.
And this concludes the summarization of a sypnopsis.

As for the lesser of the trolls here: Do go on embarrassing yourselvves wwith your purposeful naivveté; it isn't as if there is an entire exposition of the superficiality of human culture in the form of a library a feww floors awway.

Some questions regarding your flawwed reality. I suggest you answwer them.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

If the individual in question had any semblance 'a intelligence, than they would be. But if you must, then don't go harassin' a highblood over it.

[So, so wryly-]

Is that a hint, Orphaner?

An' a warnin'.

We shouldn't be bothered by such trifles. That, an' most wouldn't take as kindly to bein' so.

Ah. A shame.

[Can you hear the sass, Dualscar? Can you?]

I did so enjoy our previous discourse on the matter.

[HE DOES

also he was expecting gratitude or something, aka THANK YOU DUALSCAR FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS IN SUCH A NONVIOLENT MANNER!!

god he is so unappreciated]

In addition, you may wish to take more care in better veiling your sardonicism.

[Honestly, don't be so presumptuous Dualscar, geeeeez...]

I was not trying. However thank you for this explanation. I was not quite aware what the other aspects of troll romance entailed.

Then if you have any other questions, now would be the time to ask them.

[just because he's... already on the topic and all]

Hmm... Allow me a moment to consider the information already presented a bit more thoroughly.

[Since you're being so generous and all~]

[ ...

wai... ting...]

[She loves you too buddy. Ahem.

Okay, she's done.]

...in this moirallegiance, you say one party is generally the instigator and the other the pacifier. Instigating in what, precisely?

Violence. They are a threat to themselves as well as society, thus they instinctively seek one unlike them for survival purposes.

I see. So a troll like yourself or the Grand Highblood would seek someone of a more... docile nature to keep you in check, so to speak?

[ew

lumping him in with that brute

sigh he guesses he kind of walked into that one]

That is correct.

[Yeah, you pretty much just waltzed right into it Dualscar.]

I see... [A pause.] And what of those who are already of the more pacifistic nature- do they simply seek out someone they can help, or is there something else they look for?

Edited 2012-01-12 21:35 (UTC)

Considerin' they're a danger to society, they seek to prevent just that. It may also happen that the more violent of the trolls, as they typically tend to be higher up on the hemospectrum than their palemate, would choose to play the role of protector.

But this is not necessarily guaranteed.

I see. That is quite sweet, in its way.

[No sarcasm, just honesty.]

Why is it not guaranteed?

Because not evvery troll is in need of protection, nor is evvery troll capable of givving it.

I see. What of the rest? Is the only difference between one pity or hatred based quadrant and the other simply the level of attraction?

Love 'n hate. I would imagine the level of attraction can be similar between both, otherwise, with a lack of such, it would be considered platonic.

Hmm. Alright, that is more or less what I thought. It is an interesting concept overall, for a species that appears to be so inherently combative to have a system in which dependency on another is encouraged, even if not strictly necessary. Charmingly contradictory, in a sense.

You could say that. Regardless, we take a great deal 'a pride in it.

[if you. haven't noticed??]

An' what of you?

So I've noticed. Then again, you seem to take a great deal of pride in many things, Dualscar.

[In other words yeah, she kind of has.]

What of me?

You didn't seem to protest very vehemently when I said you were unfit for quadrantship.

[She tilts her head a bit, somewhat incredulous, and then gives her shoulders the barest of shrugs.]

Because humans don't have quadrants- thus, being unfit for something my species isn't intended for is not that great a concern.
