Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I am a seeker of knowledge, an avid reader, a writer, and a curious mind all around. (cr: cottonflurry on tumblr)

We went over the basics, and I am excited to find a full-time trainer to go over more complicated lessons. ( #nsfw just to be safe, again. )
It does make me wonder what draws creatures from not just other timelines, a concept I have had properly hand-fisted down my gullet in wipes past, but from other 'realities'. The separation of which is in the fact that all contained timelines appear to have only set species and rules in them while other realities have entirely separate species and rules. For example, I currently reside on Alternia, roughly 40XX sweeps after the uprising of Her Imperious Condescension, several millenia further after the once-believed-mythic attempted coups of the Signless and Summoner, and some hundred or so sweeps before the era of the hatching of the trolls who are destined to bring Alternia to its ultimate destruction. That is my point of origin. Other timelines share it with subtle differences, other timelines are humans on Earth, but we are all contained under a single multifaceted reality wherein we are the species predomiment and the rules governed. When another reality converges, say 'Toriel Dreemurr' from a reality wherein every contained timeline is filled with variations of a human-monster-darkener facet instead, I can only wonder why. Why is this website capable of breaching a point not even the great 'Game' can breach?
succinctly put. I've been wondering much the same myself. perhaps there is something in the inherent coding of this site that's pierced through all the realities like a sewing needle through stacks of fabric.
In my time observing this site silently I have also noticed wave upon wave of species beyond what my compendium includes. I have decided to keep it limited to Humans, Trolls, and Cherubim. Were I to add another section for each new unique species that appears from the depths of Paradox Space, I would have to throw out some of my books to make room for the sheer girth¹ of this compendium. That, and it seems that most of these species (Digital Constructs, Dragonkind, Darkeners, Robotic Imitations, etcetera.) lack the grit and determination it takes to maintain a presence on this site for more than a few nights. ¹ Size it would take up.
In developing my interspecies compendium I have made certain observations about humans. Notably in the romantic department. Humans, by default, seem to only experience what we trolls would know as the 'red' quadrants, those which lead one to matespritship and moiraillegance, though the latter seems to be to a lesser, less directly labeled extent. The 'black' quadrants are something inherently¹ foreign to them that have only recently (comparitively, since time is, as I have been told many times, a flat circle - side note, I do not understand that saying. Every circle is flat. If it was not flat it would be a sphere or something between the two.) They are capable of one concupiscent relationship and one conciliatory relationship², whereas the concepts of kismesitude and auspiticism are foreign to them. This led me to wonder if humans did not engage in these relationships purely because they were not capable of them at all, or if they simply did not know they could. On this site I see many humans with kismeses and some with an auspitice to mediate between themselves and their pitch parallels, and I have spoken to a number of them about their experiences with navigating this form of romance which is new to their species but so common to trolls - especially in cross-species relationships. This particular section is a work in progress. I only have 79 pages of it written so far, and I plan on interviewing many more trolls and humans alike to see what else I can figure out. ¹ As in it seems they are not introduced to the concepts from birth. ² For any humans unaware, concupiscent refers to 'romantic' quadrants: pitch and red. Conciliatory refers to 'platonic' quadrants: ashen and pale.
Hello, human-ish enough to apply here. Yeah, you're right on a lot of accounts here, we traditionally do not have more than what you'd call a red quadrant, and concepts that pale and ashen fall under are more nebulous. I wouldn't say we're exclusively capable of only one romance at a time either, polyamory exists in both troll and human cultures, speaking as someone in a poly red situation with a troll and a poly more human relationship (with someone who is neither human nor troll but that's a whole other matter). While we don't formally recognize full quadrants, I personally have been in a pitch situation with someone and had a mediator, both of which were human. I'm very good at accidentally inciting pitch feelings towards me in other humans, due to being, as they'd say, too reckless and harmful to others. I don't start pitch I just end up in them.
THE CONCEPT OF PITCH ATTRACTION. IS IN FACT FULLY NATIVE TO HUMAN SOCIOLOGY. AND IS A CORNERSTONE OF EARTH LITERATURE. THE TOUHOU SHIP KAGUYA/MOKOU. IS WHAT SOME MIGHT REFER TO AS THE ARCHETYPAL EXAMPLE. OF A CALIGINOUS SHIP. AND HUMANS WROTE THAT ON THEIR OWN. WITHOUT ANY INTERFERENCE. DIFFERENCES IN HOW IT IS EXPERIENCED BY HUMANS. ARE LARGELY DUE TO EARTH SOCIETY NOT POSSESSING THE SAME NORMATIVE MANDATE. TO ENGAGE IN NON-FLUSHED PAIRINGS. THAT YOURS DID.
What? I didn't post that. What the hell was that?

/ur midd𝐋e prong got a 𝐋owk suggestive shape to it bruh put that away
* gasp! how rude! >:\
I am sorry. I did not post this. I don't understand how this happened. This photo was for a specific troll a long time ago. I would never post this.
* hm... * i believe you! apology accepted :]
Getting three reactions from two separate cherubim on that chit was both discouraging and encouraging.
I MEAN, NOT SURE WHAT THE OTHER GUY SAID BUT IT’S RELATIVELY ACCURATE SO.
Net 0. Good job.
OH, MY SON.
Cherub Compendium Chapter 6, Subsection 5.4: 'Cherub Romance' In my time spent researching and observing cherubim (I am told the correct plural is not 'cherubs', I will be going back through previous chapters to rectify this), I have noticed that the most fascinating part about them is not their vast and mighty wings, nor their grandiose size, nor their skeletal forms, and not even their REMARKABLY complex mating ritual & habits the likes of which would put the most aggressive of troll kismesis off-drone-season sessions¹ to shame, but it is their romance. As most potential readers of this compendium will already be aware, the troll species on both Alternia and Beforus (and any off-world colonies) have a romance system comprised of four unique quadrants; two 'romantic' and two 'hatred'. The flushed and pale quadrants are devoted and platonic love respectively, while the pitch and ashen quadrants are hatred and mediation respectively. Cherubim, however, are seemingly incapable of three of those. They are capable of only 'pitch'. Hatred. My research has shown that in almost (watch that space) every known instance of Cherub relations they are limited to the brief pseudo-sexual exchanges which perpetuate the existence of their species, while entirely foregoing any connection afterwards. This is likely a psychological factor - you see, it is typical of cherubs to be hatched with two minds in one body, and as they mature one mind will eventually win over the other. This loss creates a void in the soul, and causes the mature cherub to seek out another of its species to occupy that same space of hatred that its other half once did. Further research, however, has led me to notice something interesting. Fully matured cherubim in certain spaces beginning to exhibit RED romantic feelings. This leads me to wonder if this hatred is not an INNATE species trait, but simply a LEARNED trait, and other cases have just not been observed and documented. ¹ #nsfw
What the fuck is this. #VTMB¹ ¹ I Set My Friends On Fire - "Crank That" (Full Album Stream)
I am learning I may stick to the very specific style of music I already listen to for good reason. However, it is fun seeing Vriska's friends interact with her and each other. #VTMB
I won't lie, there *are* pro8a8ly other days 8etter suited to what you listen to!
It's alright, I have no qualms about sticking around just to watch the chat move. If you do more of these I can attend for the music.
I most certainly will, and you most certainly can! I'd really like to see you there. ::::)
Oh! Everyone's good friend just followed me. Hello there, friend.
So much for all of the work I planned on doing. I have much more important things to take care of tonight. The only thing more pressing than the mountain of papers is, of course, the matesprit and the consequences of her actions.¹ ¹ #suggestive
She is cruel to me. #vagueposting #shortpost
I feel that it might be entirely ridiculous to act so coy about my matesprit when I am likely the worst troll in the history of Alternia at being vague about it. Still, it is fun to at least give the slightest sense of mystery to those who do not care to take the time to read through and put together very large puzzle pieces. It is one of the very few fun things I allow myself to indulge in.
She¹ is far too sweet to me, which is amusing because from everything I have heard about her from others, that would be very, very surprising to them. I can consider myself lucky that it is an exclusivity I get to have. ¹ My matesprit.
I have been neglecting this site recently in favor of, as a dear friend of mine put it, "locking in"¹ and getting through the mountain of work I left unattended while being glued to it. This has had the unintended consequence of making me very bored. Everytime I log in here for the past few nights I have, at least, gotten to bear witness to the inane postings of one certain fledgling legislacerator², and that has kept me amused enough to stay logged in for a short time. ¹ It means to focus on your work. ² Tagora.
I Missed Your Little Post Citations, Welcome Back. :>
Thank you, Larkso. I missed the way this site made my pan hurt. That may sound sarcastic, but it was not. The same friend mentioned in this chit has been advising me on what is good for my mental well-being and said that sometimes it is good to allow oneself to experience things which make their pans hurt, because it means they are doing something worth the energy expended to cause it. I am glad to see that you are doing well.
Fascinating. This one is a robot. I see many alternates of her on here and. for the most part, they all seem similar enough - though the one I know is, of course, beyond compare. A robot is a unique one though. This is simply ideal observation. Should I care to inquire more I will do so directly, since I am more than capable of approaching someone and speaking my mind (not necessarily a 'dig' at the current state of the dashboard, but I do feel that way about those confession accounts.)
Thank you! I will. And as I said, if I have any questions that I need direly answered, I will reach out.
HELL OF A SELECTION, AIN’T IT?
I hope to attend the event again next time, having taken this one and the last off. I need to get back on my training 'grind.' (please do not make a joke about that word. It is low hanging fruit, I know. But you do not need to take it.) I intend to put the cutlass to the wayside for now and focus entirely on fisticuffs once more, seeing as I have apt opportunity to train with the blade when I am at the Swash8uckler herself's hive. Regardless I do look forward to, at the very least, attending next week and getting out of mine for a while.
I should make a playlist for him. Hehehehe. #vagueposting
Her¹ lyricposting is my favorite thing to see on the dashboard, and that is saying a lot considering the extent to which I sit here and look at Chittr when I should be focused on my work.² ¹ #vagueposting ² But it isn't really.
!!!!!!!! ::::D
As a humorous addition to my use of numbers there and a personal dig at myself, I am typically unable to use the first two numbers in numeric form, as I took it upon myself to code my personal devices into automatically defaulting one and two into ¹ and ² written in superscript. This applies even amidst other numbers: 56487¹7768². As a result, I could not update the dashboard on my human compendium progress until the number of pages for each section no longer included either of those numbers. You may believe the solution to this is to simply reverse it, however, it comes in handy much more often than it acts as a hindrance.
