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.

I just want to get to know you better, in an up close and personal sort of way.

[Don't do it Dualscar. She has no interest in your bone bulge; only your internal organs.]

[orphans]

[welp, even if he did know that askldj]

I thought I'd made it clear I'm uninterested in getting to knoww humans in that sort of manner, or any really, so I'm afraid I'll havve to pass-- as generous as the offer sounds.

[madscientits]

In what sort of manner? I certainly didn't mean it in a romantic way in the slightest. Honestly, what sort of woman do you take me for?

[orphans]

I havven't pretended to knoww you, havve I?

[madscientits]

You don't have to know someone too extensively to figure out what their tell is.

You, for example, are terrified of being alone and need romance to feel accepted. [Or at least, she's hoping she picked out the right soul. Otherwise that was going to be a bit embarrassing.]

[









he can't]

[orphans]

Your assumption isn't doing much to persuade me of your theory's legitimacy.

[madscientits]

[Bingo.] I can see a person's soul. It lets me see a person's personality, fears, things like that. Yours reeks of desperation and a need for acceptance.

[orphans]

Then I believve your sight needs some fine-tuning.

[madscientits]

You think so?

[orphans]

I knoww so.

[madscientits]

You certainly seem confident of that. Never had a lingering doubt in your mind about your worth?

[orphans]

Of course not.

[... yep]

[madscientits]

Assuming it's your soul I'm seeing, and not an alternate of you - because I'm not the only one fortunate enough to have a double, I've learned recently - I can sense the wavering uncertainty from here.

[orphans]

The fact that you believve you can 'see' 'souls' is ludicrous enough in itself. Do you really put faith in such nonsense?

[madscientits]

Would you believe me if I attacked you with my soul? Or would that still inspire idiotic skepticism?

[orphans]

And howw wwould that transpire, exactly?

[madscientits]

All I'd need to do is touch you.

[orphans]

And then? WWhat of my 'soul'?

[madscientits]

If I were you I'd be more concerned about what it would do to your body instead.

[orphans]

This givves little proof as to the existence of a soul in the first place.

[madscientits]

I'd just be touching you with barely a finger, though, and you'd still feel the effects. Unless you're in tune with your soul already, you probably wouldn't feel it there at all.

It would just feel like you got electrocuted.

[orphans]

Yes, I'vve knowwn indivviduals capable of such, wwithout anything spiritual being invvolvved. The rest is hogwwash.

[madscientits]

Where I'm from, souls aren't spiritual so much as they are a fact of life. When people die, everyone can see them. I'm guessing that's not the case in your world?

[orphans]

In that, there is no such thing.

[well, indeterminable, but that's what he'd like to think.]
