Also, in this picture, is this implying kanyaya/eridan while equius watches the whole thing (and sweats) , or kanaya and eridan eyballing sweaty equius?
Either way, the crack is so delicious I support all options. Equius could make her a STRONG chainsaw.

Plus, now you're creating senseless drama by
denying each other's feelings just because you're invested in a fictional alien romancesorry, misread this. I mean, now you're creating senseless drama by putting yourself in a situation where you're allowing yourself to indulge in feelings for someone you like which could easily lead to cheating(if what you're saying is you already have a boy/girlfriend).Even if troll romance was a real thing, you do know the trolls were raised in a society that has taught this concept for centuries and it's engrained in their culture. You can't just "shift" over to troll romance because it sounds more interesting, because it's not gonna work out the way you think.

Well the conciliatory quadrants are pretty common to see, it's just that we don't identify them as romantic relationships and don't really have any reason to...so yeah it's still stupid to label these things.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-12 08:34 am (UTC)(link)I'm not the OP, so I could be getting some of the details wrong.
Quadrants is kind of weird. But I don't think that putting labels on things is the problem. I mean, if you're monogamous (and I'm saying this as someone who is), you already are saying "this relationship is one thing, this other one is a completely different thing that's nothing like it." The problem wasn't having this friendship and labelling it as a special friendship, the problem was that special friendship wasn't what either of them really wanted. They want to date, and by having this special friendship they're enabling each other to have a kind of intimacy that crosses lines even if it's all theoretically platonic. People have gotten themselves into this situation without labelling their relationships in any strange way.

Troll romance had to come from somewhere. Y'know as long as people arn't idiots about it.

(Personally, while I am very aware that I am not a grey-skinned alien with horns and oddly coloured blood, I think that describing human relationships in terms of quadrants is popular not because people think they are really aliens or that trolls are real, but rather because our culture tends to devalue all relationships that are neither blood/adoptive family nor sexually motivated. If the most important person in your life is not someone you are banging or ever want to bang, the concept of moirallegiance can feel really validating. If you have had the uncomfortable--and yes, incredibly fucked-up--kind of relationship where you're wildly sexually attracted to someone you cannot otherwise STAND and are constantly furious with, the idea of kismesis makes a certain kind of sense--and gives you a name for the kind of attraction you've experienced before and would now prefer to avoid. And so forth.)

(Anonymous) 2012-02-12 08:00 am (UTC)(link)Homestuck quadrants are tame shit compared to that, and I think it's actually really cute to have a word for a best friend that recognizes the relationship as an important one! A lot of people think that having a best friend is kid stuff, and it makes me really sad to see adults who don't have one, or really any friends at all, or even who don't think friendship is really that important. I don't do quadrants myself, but I really do like the whole "treating platonic relationships as a thing" bit. I'm also wondering if people who do polyamory could adapt this into something that might be useful for some of them- not involving hate dates or anything, but if there were multiple kinds of relationships that they wanted to have and they wanted to reserve one slot for each, or something like that. (I also don't do polyamory, but it's interesting to see how different people make it work and such.)
