'''Quadromantic''' is on the [[Aromantic Spectrum]] and is characterised by only being able to experience romantic attraction inside ''Homestuck's'' troll romance system, known as quadrants. A quadromantic person may or may not vacillitate, or may not use the term kismesis to its full potential (eg. using kismesissitude to describe someone who you are fond of and ''romantically interested in,'' and make hateful/threatening jokes towards - both parties are aware of, participate in and consent to these jokes being made). |
