ok................... at risk of soundin like an ignorant human some1 explain quadrants to me like im a grub
8=) < Thank you 8=l < It is frankly bizarre to me that some people 100k at troll romance and despite the romance label still decide that half of the quadrants are platonic 8=l < By nature of being romance, they aren't platonic and cannot be

SEE this is y i asked coz i kept hearin ppl say everythin but matesprit were platonic an i was like mmmmmmmm are they tho?????//
8=l < Definitely incorrect 8=l < All four are love 8=l < I tell my kismesis I love him as freely as my matesprit 8=l < Because that's what hate and pity are, they're both love

I love autism. Anyways. Quads aren't actually nearly as complex as people tend to think. I could get into the nuance but a short tl;dr is that <3 is adjacent to a "standard" human relationship but with less focus on emotionally supporting your partner, though this isn't unusual. <> is basically queerplatonic relationships but specifically geared towards keeping each other in check and balancing each other out. Two halves of a whole type deal. <3< is where you have a rival that you hate so bad you *gotta* kiss them on the mouth because you see exactly what they *could* be, and you know it's possible, and it pisses you the fuck off that they aren't there. But also they make you mad and horny. Hornad? Marny? That last one sounds like a name. And ashen... I'll be so real. I'on think anybody really knows what's going on over there. I think they're all lying. It's like having pale feelings but towards a pair of people so pitch it's gonna blow up and you want so badly to fix them. It's the "I could fix them" quad. I think.

wait ur bringin a big fat sappy tear to my eye rnnn :,) THTS SO BEAUTIOUS... WOW <3 LOVE WINS the ppl who think the quadrants are 75% platonic r rlly losin out on smth awesome

Politely, there is nothing platonic about any of them. It's just that two of them don't involve you gettin' freaky as fuck with the horizontal tango, which people mistake for platonic because humans are stupid as bricks.

im takin notes so furiosly u wld think i have finals tmrw THANK U DIRKY U NEVER LET ME DOWN!!!!

If you got questions I love popping off about this shit. The only thing I haven't...really experienced is ashen feelings. Nor am I sure I want that kinda drama in my life. I got enough drama.

ngl beatin someones ass affectionately sounds sorta great!! but i think i need some lovin in my life before that could b a thing that wouldnt destroy me emotionally

Hey, no shame in knowing that. Besides, the intent is to fill multiple quads. Kinda the whole point of having them. Helps make sure you get all your needs met, in my opinion.
