This is a community for works featuring the quadrant romance system from HOMESTUCK.

Short-ish explanation on the quadrants:
Quadrants in HOMESTUCK are divided in 2 ways; concupiscent (physical/sexual attraction) + conciliatory (designed to pacify) & red romance (strong positive emotions) + black romance (strong negative emotions). Each of these romances are represented by a symbol of card suit (hearts, diamonds, spades & clubs), which funtions similar to "/" or "&" for shipping purposes.

The quadrants themselves;
Matespritship or "flushed" romance (concupiscent + red) ♥ or <3
Moirallegiance or "pale" romance (conciliatory + red) ♦ or <>
Kismesissitude or "caliginous/pitch" romance (concupiscent + black) ♠ or <3<
Auspisticism or "ashen" romance (conciliatory + black) ♣ or c8<

The flushed romance is basically our understanding of romance (with a partner called a matesprit). Pale romance is described in canon as "soulmates, but more platonic" and generally is QPR coded but more specific, with the function of such being to pacify eachother (the moirail) and help eachother be better. Pitch romance is also about bettering eachother, but moreso in the way of rivalry and thanks to negative emotions instead of postive ones to the target of their affection (the kismesis). Ashen romance is unique in that in canon it's a v-relationship of sorts, with the function of the middle leaf (aka the auspistice) to pacify the conflict of the side leaves, often but not always because of unproductive pitch attraction, but always because the non-involvement could cause destruction to relationships or the people themselves.
