Moirails are like that, except that grown-ups believe in it too. The whole loving thing with quadrants is that they really are just different regular relationships, but dressed up in this ridiculous romantic THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE TRUE X stuff that troll society inexplicably takes completely seriously. I doubt functional humans are capable of "being moirails", because accepting the concept of emotionally supportive brohood being a unique thing you can only have with one person at once is something that requires you to be a literal child. Remember how back at the start of Act 5 we got that whole spiel about Alternia being a planet of children, and all troll culture being created by children? Yeah.

There's also the minor rub about how moirails are supposed to keep each other from stabbing people, though. Which I can attest inherently makes for a slightly different sort of friendship than the usual.

I don't know, maybe if Nepeta didn't have Equius she would have hunted other trolls for sport and painted her shipping wall with their various shades of blood.

I choose to believe that Hussie actually did a great bit of relationship building with the whole troll quadrant thing. I think the reason we have a hard time understanding it is because it's an alien romantic relationship, for aliens. A human might be able to understand how the troll quadrants work, and to an extent may even have limited success mimicking them (We'll see how Rose did).I think that in the end though while a human can understand how troll romance works we can't ever quite "get" it. They're not even mammals, they're insects. I was kind of thinking along the lines you were regarding a society being invented by children. One failed theory of mine was that the whole mother grub thing and the relationship quadrants was introduced and specifically designed by Doc Scratch to make sure Troll culture was completely dysfunctional. However, the ancestors showed that they had both the mother grub and romantic quadrants long before Scracth was in the picture.

Prison Warden posted:The fact that people still see moirail and normal relationships as different is still amusing to me. Moirails is like the equivalent of a co-dependent relationship. Where two people need each other to keep themselves in line. You know how auspistices keep the peace between two people to prevent a kismesis relationship from going out of control? Moirails are the red equivalent, only between two people and not three. Like how kismesis is the black equivalent of matesprits. Let me use Equius and Nepeta as an example. These two are considered to be the ultimate moirails because they kept each other in line. Nepeta made sure Equius wasn't as high and mighty of a blue blood, who went around culling lower bloods below him and kept his issues in line. When he was upset about Aradia exploding, Nepeta's job was to console him and make sure he would be ok. Likewise, Equius must keep Nepeta in line by making sure she doesn't get too rowdy. Though Nepeta obviously does more work than Equius does, they work because they have a huge trust between them. They need each other to conduct daily troll life, whatever the gently caress that is. Being moirails isn't being best bros (though you could be best bros with your moirail) but co-dependency to make sure both people stay in line and don't screw up. When you're friends with someone you aren't responsible for keeping them always in line, consoling them every single time some emotional crisis occurs and making sure they don't kill people. And not all moirails are best friends with each other or even like one another (re: Feferi and Eridan, as the former hated the latter's guts but stood in the relationship to make sure he wouldn't cull other trolls) lotus circle fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Feb 19, 2013 |

Well god drat. Not only did my SBAHJ book arrive only a week after it shipped, which is literally the speed of light compared to what i'm used to, but they also labelled the price on the package as $20 instead of the real price, which means that it dodged customs (and saved me like 30 bucks). I'm not sure if they did this to be cool dudes, or if it was another layer of ironic mistakes, but man, it was great. It's even pretty uncrushed, except for a tiny (like one or two mm) dent in the corner, which is hardly noticeable. The downside is that there are like four of these loving stickers and they smell so violently gross that i feel physically ill if i bash my face against the book, as i often do. e: I keep doing all these things with my TF2 poo poo.

Those are pretty obviously not the hats and outfits they were/will be wearing during the original Midnight Crew intermission, I guess because they're not mobster-themed yet. Wonder if there's any particular point to that idea being planted by COMPUTER MAN now rather than just having them start out that way.

Interesting that they're wearing what amounts to a green Dersite/Prospitian uniform. I guess they are just sort of special rewards for a Lord player? Does that mean in theory there could be a Muse Felt set?

Does that mean in theory there could be a Muse Felt set? This is part of the Dead Session mystique, exclusive to players who attempt single-player sessions. I wouldn't wager it has anything to do with being a Lord/Muse and more to do with being part of a session whose conditions for victory are entirely separate.

Wow. Even I was losing any faith that Hussie would ever show us where the Felt came from at any point. Granted, at first I was a bit curious about how this worked since I thought I remembered it being said that Lord English recruited his minions throughout time - but then I remembered that was probably referring more to Snowman/The Handmaiden/Condesce, and whatever other past unfortunate ladies he's "hired" throughout his career.
