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

I did not wwant your input; I'd surmised you'd already givven it.

[sob yes that is the only quadrants he's actually... good at...]

But there's not much more to say on behalf of the others either.

REALLY.
HAVE YOU EVER *HAD* A RELATIONSHIP BASED ON PITY, ORPHANER?

Obvviously, or else I wwouldn't be here right noww.

[because crushes, fleeting relationships, and ones with hookers isn't cheating the system, right?]

NO, NO, I DON'T MEAN A PAILMATE WHO ISN'T GOING TO BLEED YOU.
SOMEONE TO FILL YOUR RED FILIAL PAIL AND KEEP THE DRONES OFF YOUR BACK.
I'M TALKING ABOUT SERENDIPITY.
A REAL EQUAL RELATIONSHIP BASED ON TRUST AND MUTUAL PITY, WHERE YOU CAN BE YOURSELF WITHOUT FEAR THAT IT'S BARING YOUR THROAT TO THE CLAWS OF SOME UNSCRUPULOUS TROLL.

[... ummmmmmmmmmmmmm you lost him at 'bleed you']

I already said I havve.
Howwevver, I don't see howw this could be any of your business either wway.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE - OR LACK THEREOF - OF ROMANCE ON THE TABLE TO BE SCRUTINIZED.
SOME OF US HAVE OBVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA.
OTHERS, DO NOT.
GUESS WHICH CATEGORY I FIGURE EACH OF US FALLS INTO.

That wwasn't my intention.
I wwill concede that I may not be as wwell vversed in the art of red romance as you are, but only on account of your vvileblooded little tramp.

Havve you evver had a kismesis, Signless?

DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE CALL HER THAT.
IT'S COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR, NOT THE LEAST BECAUSE SHE'S FUCKING DEVOTED AND ISN'T A TRAMP IN THE LEAST.

NO, I'LL ADMIT THAT I HAVEN'T EVER HAD A KISMESIS.

I'll call her wwhatevver I like.
Then I dare say I'vve a bit more experience than you in these matters, wwouldn't you agree?

NOT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES.
I NEVER DENIED THAT YOU HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN I DO IN THAT *PARTICULAR* AREA.
IN FACT, I SEEM TO RECALL COMPLIMENTING YOU ON THE DEPTHS OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

I meant collectivvely.
And these 'consequences'-- somehoww forcing me to listen to the drone of your vvoice, prattling on about troll equality? Engaging in a group therapy session, wwhere wwe all get together to discuss our feelings of dissatisfaction wwith the current regime?
Something equally mundane and sophomoric?

HOW DO YOU HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE 'COLLECTIVELY' THAN I DO, YOU'RE STILL ONE TROLL WITH GAPS IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE AS BIG AS THE EMPTY, ECHOING SPACE BETWEEN YOUR HORNS.
I WAS THINKING I MIGHT KICK YOUR ASS, ACTUALLY.
SOME THINGS DO JUSTIFY VIOLENCE.

I givve you permission to try, if that wwill further convvince you.

CONVINCE ME OF WHAT?

That vviolence is alwways justified.

ALWAYS?
SERIOUSLY?
YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT, DO YOU?

WWhy not?

BECAUSE DESPITE MY GENERAL CONTEMPT FOR YOU, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE MORE THAN A ONE-TRICK HOOFBEAST.
IS THAT ALL YOU'RE ABOUT?
YOU HAVE ONE WAY OF RESOLVING EVERY PROBLEM? ONE WAY OF DEALING WITH EVERY SITUATION? BY HURTING ANYONE YOU CAN?

WWas that supposed to be flattery?
It takes a simpleton to twwist my wwords so grotesquely. WWhile it may be justified, that does not automatically make it the wwisest course of action, nor the automatic, foremost mean to a solution.
But it does solvve things rather quickly and effectivvely, I'vve found.

I'M REALLY GLAD YOU SAID THAT.
AT LEAST, THE FIRST PART.
WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE THE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE SOLVED, THOUGH?

I'm not followwing.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IF YOU WERE THE ONE GETTING CULLED FOR CAUSING SOME KIND OF PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE ELSE, WOULD YOU BE SO HAPPY ABOUT BEING QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY SOLVED?
OR MAYBE YOU'D PREFER THAT SOMEONE TRY TO FIGURE OUT A LESS PERMANENT WAY TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.

If I'm culled for hypothetical incompetence, then I'vve no qualms. Culling is just that: removving the wweak, and my removval should do to benefit society in the long-run.
But as you can see, I'vve little wworry about on the matter.

[except well he does get culled for that but aksjd]

YOU'RE FUCKING NAIVE IF YOU THINK TROLLS ONLY GET CULLED FOR ACTUAL INCOMPETENCE.

And if it wweren't...
Then I'm sure I still deservved it.
