#Beta Quadrant

[pluralzalpha]

Galactic Gazetteer: Excalbia

Class: E

Quadrant: Beta

Distance from Earth: several hundred light years

Inhabitants: Excalbians

Surface: largely molten

Atmosphere: toxic to humanoids

Appearance: TOS "The Savage Curtain" (1969)

Fun fact: thought to be lifeless outside of space legends, until the rock-like Excalbians made contact with the USS Enterprise.

Another fun fact: the Excalbians have no concept of good and evil, and thought that the best way to learn about was to take the form of historic figures like Abraham Lincoln and run war games. Don't ask me, season 3 of TOS was weird.

We caught a deep space anomaly on the sensors today. Its throwing out a lot of nasty radiation into the local system. Luckily it's uninhabited and our shields are good enough to deal with the brunt of the radiation. Though a word of warning, any freighter or vessel passing through the North West section of the Donatu Sector might wanna check up on your anti radiation safety. And worst case scenario reroute via deep space K-7 just to be sure.

Me and boss have submitted a request to the Captain to alter course to have a closer look. Under the Lt.Com's advisement ofc.

Beta Types

Beta types are those with Ti-Fe & Se-Ni as their oscillation pairs. Beta types often develop as smooth-talkers and persuaders. From the articulate and empathic FeNi, to the hypnotic NiFe, to the affable SeTi and the cool geek TiSe, we are drawn to their tailored presentation and confident aura. In their best form, their cultural know-how can lead to the creation of social cohesion, community, stability and equality. Like with alpha types, a strong sense of brotherhood/sisterhood may flourish and invite involvement between people of all demographics. But this acceptance won’t always come free. There may be peace and order but only in the confines of a certain paradigm which may carry superfluous restrictions and misconceptions about human nature.

A type of sectism can quickly develop and an us-vs-them mentality stretches its root. When this hostility is at its worst, we will find opportunistic social and emotional exploitation, shaming, oppresive social hierarchies, bullying and misleading visions from oracle figures. But this stubbornness can find a source of relief in a feeling of cosmic embrace. When Ti and Ni collaborate to create an all-inclusive principle, sensitive to the empathy shared by all conscious beings, then the beta quadrant recovers its generosity and leniency.

A sense of aesthetic will permeate the quadrant which aims for simple elegance and function. These types will often make an art of sensation, creating luxurious displays and channels for stimulation. An insatiable gravitation toward richness of experience will ebb across all four of these types and sometimes clash with the moderation suggested by their ethical code.

Fe+Ni Sectarian

The Fe+Ni function combination merges together Fe's understanding of social dynamics, with Ni's grasp of the interconnected nature of historical narratives, producing a unified worldview of human nature and destiny. This inclines Fe+Ni to extract out the over-arching truth of the human condition, its necessary arrangement for human flourishing, and its fatalistic decline if it should fail to meet those needs. The Fe+Ni combination can thus rally together people into one world-changing revolutionary spirit, or it can create cult-like groups around an all-enveloping worldview.

Ti+Se Sensationalist

The Ti+Se function combination produces an experience where life is percieved by Se viscerally and connected to literal reality, while Ti aims to hone that experience, perfecting its form towards an ideal. The result is an analytical approach to lived experience, where Se's creativity is channeled through Ti's form-scrutiny, insisting on a high standard of artistic elegance. This can lead to an acute aesthetic mastery on one hand, or to an unhealthy visceral indulgence in stimuli on the other.

Fe+Se Persuader

The Fe+Se function combination merges Fe's social acuity with Se's awareness of the immediate environment, creating a savvy, influential communicator. This cognitive union excels in maneuvering through social landscapes, using its charisma and perceptiveness to sway opinions and shape dynamics. What results is a captivating presence, adept in both professional and personal spheres. The Fe+Se combination can create lively and immediate social impacts on one hand, but that same talent can lead to opportunism and con-artistry on the other hand.

Ti+Ni Cabbalist

The Ti+Ni combination produces a metaphysical approach, created by Ni’s focus on thematic convergences across time, and Ti’s investigation of ideal ontological forms in those patterns. What results is an epistemology which aims to discover eternal structures and patterns, often graphically modelled, that permeate every aspect of reality. One example of this approach is found in the Cabbalistic tradition, which investigates the structural relationships (Ni) between transcendent, divine essences (Ti). The Ti+Ni combination can lead to convergent philosophical holism on one hand, or to an obscure mysticism on the other.

[nekropsii]

Hey, I'm getting back into Homestuck in a big way but I'm having trouble with something that feels pretty common to mess up and misinterpret, so I'm wondering if you could shed some light on it. Namely; Kismesistude and Auspistices.... I cant trust my memory until i catch up on the re-read but so far the only Blackrom I can recall canonically is the one with the clown and the uh... messy breakup.

If you have any insight, please share. (Also maybe if you'd prefer maybe clear up some misconceptions on Terezi's romances? I know, ships are all i see, but i feel like some of them are... misinterpretive, but i cant put a finger on why. Sorry for the big ask, have a good day.)

Auspisticism and Kismesissitude aren’t very heavily covered in Homestuck, but we do know a decent amount of things. A few examples of canon, or semi-canon, Kismesissitude are as follows:

Spades Slick <3< Snowman (Plot important. Probably one of the more noteworthy ones, hence listing it first.)

Sollux Captor <3< Eridan Ampora (Not something I’m a scholar on, ultimately never went anywhere satisfying.)

John Egbert <3< Terezi Pyrope (Hinted at, personal favorite.)

Dirk Strider <3< Caliborn (Really funny, can be interpreted either way, still a personal favorite.)

Dave Strider <3< Karkat Vantas (This is where everyone thought their relationship was going in the olden days.)

Gamzee Makara <3< Terezi Pyrope (This is a bad thing. Also plot important.)

Vriska Serket <3< Tavros Nitram (Vriska had tense, vacillating feelings for him for a while. Tavros did not reciprocate. Very plot important.)

There could be more that I’m not presently remembering, but that’s what I can think of at the moment. I did not include Bec Noir <3< Bec Blanche because I don’t really know if that counts- I’m pretty sure PM just has a platonic undying hatred for him, rather than a… Romantically and/or sexually motivated rivalry with him. PM is a motherfucker with a mission. Her hand is not in her metaphorical pants about this.

It’s incredibly important to note that Gamzee and Terezi’s kismesissitude is canonically very broken and abusive. And since I’ve seen this misconception everywhere, YES, kismesissitudes CAN be abusive. Any kind of relationship can be. Kismesissitude =/= Abuse. These are two extremely different things and this is literally a major plot point several times. I’m making no assumptions of your knowledge or character here, anon- this clarification is being made as a precaution since I’ve seen so many people make that same god damn mistake and argue over their own poor readings for years. Sure, reinterpret things how you want, but a shoddy reinterpretation based on a loose grip of facts doesn’t suddenly make, for example, Cronus’s actions towards Mituna be Blackrom. That isn’t how it works. That is textually not what is happening.

Kismesissitude is a complicated quadrant, as all quadrants are, but keep in mind that there needs to be:

Equal levels of power in both parties.

Equal levels of hatred in both parties.

Red feelings mixing with the hatred. That is the backbone of the quadrant. The metaphorical mitochondria of the relationship.

Read this part slowly. Read it carefully. Repeat after me: Fucking CONSENT.

Personally, I like to think of Black Romance as being based in competitive self improvement. Like a purposefully charged rivalry. All relationships are different, so all kismesissitudes have varying parameters for what their relationship exactly entails. Some just royally fuck with each other, others beat the shit out of each other, some may berate each other constantly. It’s a method of challenging yourself and the other party, and whatever is needed for this is a fluid variable.

Lack of communication can lead to things breaking down incredibly quickly, and hurt can compound fast. Sometimes the relationship becomes highly volatile and dangerous, going from a scale of completely wrecking mental health all the way to the potentially lethal.

This is where Auspisticism comes in. They are the mediators to Black Romances, and they make sure that the pair don’t completely tear each other to shreds, one way or the other. They are optional- you don’t really need an Auspistice for your Kismesissitude… Until you do.

The most well known Auspistice is Kanaya. She kinda sucks as an example, though, because as far as I remember, she was not very good at it. It’s a fair thing to find challenging, though- you have to know both parties well enough to know what gets both of them to knock it off, without causing any further harm. It’s basically a harm reduction and damage control quadrant. Once again, as I said with with Kismesissitudes, what Auspisticism will entail is a fluid variable dependent on each party.

As far as Terezi’s quadrants go, she starts off as Childhood Moirails with Vriska, but this evolves into the world’s most tragic Matespritship. She’s had red feelings for Dave, and pitch feelings for John. Karkat has had red feelings for her. Cannot for the life of me remember if this was reciprocated, but they were very sweet as friends. Those are the main things I remember- I’m not one to get too excited over ships, and I don’t really tend to look out for them.

Welcome back to Homestuck, by the way! Don’t forget, you’re here forever!

Guess who's on their way back to Earth for shore leave? This guy! Hopefully we'll be back in the sol system tomorrow. I got an entire week set up for me whilst the Bermondsey will be in dry Dock for refit. Though I got a few things to work on in San Francisco I'll mainly be in London visiting family. It will be a good time to kick back and relax. 😎

karkat is canonicaly very attractive by troll standards

#things i think about sometimes #like. litteraly every beta troll excluding kanaya who is a lesbian and practically his sister has hit on him #every single one at some point #hell even cronus showed interest in him (albeit because he is an attention hungery creep. but still-) and meenah had a crush on him at #some point #its so funny to me #but also interesting because it kinda gives an insight into alternian standard of romantic attractiveness??? #hes easy to wind up -> an attractive trait in kismesis? #his emotiveness and passionate personality make sence for redrom naturally #not alot of people had like. explicitly pale crushes on him but i imagine his size. lack of physical abilities compared to other trolls and #mutation make him an eadily pitiable partner #and thats not even factoring in how much of a 'pale slut' he is #just loves emotionally supporting people to the point it can be quadrant blurring #he is just... the most guy ever its so funny #just so... karkalicious? if you will #ik this has been said a hundred times befor and explored more in depth by other people #but like #im rotating him in my brain rn
