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.

AND YOU ARE OKAY WITH DYING?

[orphans]

A decidedly vvague term to use, but I suppose so.

[benigncancer]

WOW.
OKAY.
I CAN RESPECT THAT.

wow my html died there...

[orphans]

I don't care if you do or not, it is wwhat it is.
Though, I'd almost believve you thought highbloods as inferior or somesuch wwith that sort of reaction; wwhy it apparently surprises you, is beyond me.

[benigncancer]

I DON'T THINK HIGHBLOODS ARE INFERIOR, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
I JUST DON'T THINK YOU'RE SUPERIOR, AND I ALSO KNOW YOU'RE NOT REALLY INCLINED TO OPEN YOUR MIND AND CONSIDER WHAT I BELIEVE.
SO FAIR ENOUGH, I JUST KEEP HOPING THAT SOONER OR LATER WE CAN FIND COMMON GROUND.
AND I MISJUDGED YOU PERSONALLY, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE A LOT MORE SELFISH.

[orphans]

Inferior in our morals, surely.
And believve me, I HAVVE opened my mind to your "ideals"


and I still think them as foolish as I did wwithout.
As much as I appreciate the sentiment, being marginal to begin wwith, I do hope you don't jump to any conclusions wwith them.
There is vvery little I wwould wwillingly die for; do not make the mistake of thinking otherwwise.

[benigncancer]

OKAY I WON'T DENY THAT, YEAH.
BUT HAVING DIFFERENT IDEALS DOESN'T MAKE ONE *PERSON* INHERENTLY BETTER OR WORSE.
THE WHOLE QUESTION OF WHETHER ONE PHILOSOPHY CAN BE OBJECTIVELY SUPERIOR TO ANOTHER IS A WHOLE CAN OF WRIGGLING THINGS THAT I DON'T WANT TO OPEN.
LEST THEY EXPLODE OUTWARDS IN A DISGUSTING CACOPHONY OF SLIME AND SQUIRMING INSECTS.
BUT PERSONALLY I THINK MY PHILOSOPHY IS BETTER THAN YOURS, BECAUSE IT RESULTS IN LESS DEATH AND VIOLENCE.
AND SINCE I THINK DEATH AND VIOLENCE ARE GENERALLY TO BE AVOIDED, IT FOLLOWS.

I'LL TRY NOT TO JUMP TO ANY UNWARRANTED CONCLUSIONS ABOUT YOUR BASIC GOOD NATURE, OR SELFLESSNESS.
GOSH.
THAT WOULD JUST BE AWFUL.

[orphans]

It is.
But seeing howw vvery little you appear to care for and knoww of the semantics of our society, astoundingly enough, I fail to see any reason to attempt to explain this to you.
I'vve already made my assumptions regarding THAT matter, and I suppose I shouldn't pay mind to wwhatevver conclusions you come to regarding my owwn beliefs.
I don't havve any reason to.
Thus: I do believve wwe're through wwith this topic, don't you?

[benigncancer]

YEAH, WE'VE PROBABLY HIT THIS HOOFBEAST CORPSE WITH ENOUGH STICKS FOR ONE DAY.
UNTIL NEXT TIME, I GUESS.
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP, YOU KNOW.
