#ship: tiergan/prentice

[kotlc-fanfiction]

you were in the darkness too, so I stayed in the darkness with you 

Summary: The Solreef family is having a rough night and ends up in pairs comforting each other after a series of nightmares, ending in a proposal that will change their family forever.

My thoughts: 19k words of absolutely gorgeous writing! The parallel scenes work beautifully to create the suspense that both looms over the story and is intertwined with sweet familial moments. Rayni, Linh, Tam, and Wylie are written delightfully well, as are Tiergan and Prentice and their relationship. This fic is the perfect blend of humour, angst, and fluff, all while exploring and expanding upon the characters' canon selves. For any Tiertice or Solreef family enjoyers, this fic is definitely the fic for you.

Hello! If I may, would you be amenable to expanding on your "most of you are kinda racist" tag? I do have an idea of what you're referring to with characterization for character of color, and there have been several posts about that in the fandom in the past, but I wanted to ask for clarity to know what you, specifically, have noticed. To be aware of what's happening, talk about it, correct mindsets and actions if needed

Of course, you don't have to answer and can just delete this if you'd like. No pressure. Hope you have a good day :)

hi! mostly i was referring to characterizations of the song twins and wylie and maruca. obviously posts about the issues with linh and tam have been made many times before. for the most part i think that problems with the song twins come from canon itself, but i think people in general need to be more conscientious when looking at their characters and the stereotypes that are already in them :)

and for wylie and maruca, i can't really speak on stereotypes and biases that the fandom has for them as a non-black person, but i just feel like they get put aside by the fandom a lot despite being major characters (wylie in particular)

i really feel like wylie should be an incredibly popular character in this fandom. i mean, he's just got so much... angst about him. you guys love angst. i feel like people take what makes his character so interesting and the hurt and loss that comes with him and just slap it onto another non-black character.

obviously not everyone has to be in love with wylie. but i think the reason such a hurt-and-comfort fic generating machine is ignored so much is because as a black male, he's automatically viewed as more masculine than other characters. therefore he can't be the fandom's "boohoo sad wet sopping cat" character like fitz or keefe, even though HE IS LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF SOPPING WET SAD GOT KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED DEAD MOM FUCKED DAD WHAT ELSE DO YOU GUYS WANT FROM HIM!!!!!!!!

anyways i wish this was more eloquent but i just wrote this really quick!! these are really specific examples but i don't know how to put the general overall racism that i see into words... i'll work on that!! i also don't know how to explain the issues with fanon maruca that i see so

tldr: the song twin's characters have pretty obvious bias and stereotypes that the fandom needs to be more aware of, wylie isn't popular despite his sad cat-ness because black men are seen as more masculine, maruca's characterization makes me uncomfortable in general but idk how to explain it

please tell me if anything i said was wrong or hurtful! i am not black so you should always listen to black people before me. also i am probably biased as a die-hard wylie fan so take anything i say with a grain of salt :) would love to hear other people's opinions on this!

*also, put this in the tags but i feel like its important to say here too: sad sopping wet meow meow wylie is NOT a good interpretation/characterization its pretty shallow but he still should be getting the same treatment as other characters

#yeah wylie was kinda a dick to sophie SO WAS LITERALLY EVERY OTEHR CHARACTER!!!!!!! #obviously fitz and keefe have their own traumas but i feel like wylie should be on the same level as them #also yeah sad cat wylie is not a good characterization. neither is sad cat fitz or sad cat keefe he should still get that treatment #toe talks #oh and i have stuff to say abt the prentice/tiergan ship too but i have geniunely no idea how to put it into words sorry

my kotlc hc (gay edition)

Biana: straight (don’t hate me) but has definitely tested the waters

Linh: lesbian

marella: bi but w a heavy preference for hot guys (I ship Marella and linh what can I say)

Dex: gay thought he had a crush on Sophie bc he had never had a friend before and couldn’t tell the difference

Fitz: bi bc I ship fedex and he’s just not straight idk what to tell u (keefe found out pre-keeper)

Tiergan: Gay. In love with prentice. Has been for decades. Wants him BAD. Even Wylie ships them

Prentice: Bi, develops a crush on tiergan only after he gets out of exile

Alvar: bi but in a straight way

Ruy: bi or gay idk but he’s dating alvar (in secret ofc)

Bronte: not straight that’s it hes just not straight I’m not sure what he is but it’s not hetero

Fintan: also not straight (had a thing with fallon)

forkle: aroace

I feel like the elves would be homophobic but not in a “let’s hate crime the gays 🤪” way but more in a “the match system doesn’t allow for being gay so gay couples are a bad match” way

#they aren’t all gay but most are #if they aren’t up there then I consider them straight 🤷‍♀️ #prentice x tiergan #they are actually my fav ship #ruy and Alvar are kind of fruity who are we kidding #Bronte had a lil crush on Fintan at some point #kotlc fandom #kotlc

the homestuck quadrant system & relationships in KotLC

i am fully aware no one asked for this. WAIT that’s a lie three of you asked for this. @orionhong @the-way-astray @soryasongsaa this post is for you <3 it’s been simmering in my drafts since november and i finally had an excuse to finish, and i hope u guys find it interesting!

so. what exactly is the quadrant system, you may ask? and why is it relevant to kotlc? well, we’ll start with the webcomic homestuck. (oh boy) this comic features an alien species called trolls (based off internet trolls) that have some very fun cultural distinctions, such as a caste system based on blood color and the quadrant system, which is a fun variation of romance that i think could be very fun if we applied it to elves, which don’t have enough cultural differences in my opinion.

homestuck trolls have four type of romance as opposed to one and each has its own specific purpose. 2 of them are necessary for reproduction, and 2 of them are necessary for peace and harmony in society. it’s considered desirable to partake in all four kinds of romance, and there are certain rules around this that i’ll get to later. while KOTLC elves only use the one traditional form of romance, it’s considered desirable to be in a socially-acceptable relationship, an approved match, to help grow the elven species, and have a similar sense of Regulation around romance. telepaths also have cognatedom, a special kind of relationship that adds potential for romantic drama into the mix.

i thought it would be interesting if in an alternate universe, the elves recognized more than one form of romance to distinguish their society even more from that of humans. it’s also just fun to ship characters but with extra nuance and spice. so without further ado, let me explain the four quadrants and speculate which relationships in KOTLC, both canon and otherwise, would be in which quadrant! enjoy this silly little time with me

so!! there are two categories: red romance and black romance. red is associated with positive feelings and black with negative, although it’s a bit more nuanced than that. they’re also divided into Concupiscent (associated but not exclusively linked with sexual attraction and reproduction) and Conciliatory (not associated with reproduction). each of the quadrants is assigned one of the four suits in a deck of cards, hence red and black. here's a convenient chart:

a relationship might not just fall into one quadrant, too. relationships are only meant to use one label at a time (more on this later) but often shift across quadrants or be called one quadrant but have some traits of another.

below, i’ve written descriptions of each romance type and also given suggestions for KOTLC ships that would fall into these categories. feel free to fight with me on my choices if you like.

FLUSHED QUADRANT: MATESPRITSHIP/HEARTS <3 (red, concupiscent)

this quadrant is most similar to regular human romance, and already features in kotlc. there's not a whole lot much more to say here, so let's get into examples.

a good canonical example of this in KOTLC is edaline and grady ruewen being matesprits (the name for this kind of partner). an example of flushed feelings that were mutual but never became a relationship is kenric and oralie. sophie and fitz also had flushed feelings for each other canonically, as do sophie and keefe right now, but i would say in both cases the feelings aren't purely <3. i'll talk more about that soon, though.

other noncanon relationships i would describe as matesprits/flushed crushes are tiergan/prentice and marella/linh.

PALE QUADRANT: MOIRALLEGIANCE/DIAMONDS <> (red, concilliatory)

moirails could be best described in our terms as platonic soulmates/queerplatonic partners. that being said, while it doesn't involve kissing or sexual attraction, it IS a type of romance and is distinct from an average friendship. moirallegiance is actually WILDLY similar to the concept of Cognatedom in KOTLC, which is what inspired this behemoth of a post in the first place.

(furthermore, this is why posts implying that cognates are always romantic rub me the wrong way. there are plenty of forms of closeness that aren't traditional romance/flushed).

like cognates, moirails aren't just soul besties, but they're balancing forces that complement each other and keep each other grounded. these relationships hinge on sharing feelings, mutual acceptance, giving advice, and bringing the other person down to earth.

this makes alden and quinlin a good canonical example of ex-moirails. a non-cognate relationship in KOTLC that resembles moirallegiance is that between keefe and dex: they have similar personalities, share secrets, and are able to help each other even when their other relationships are on the rocks.

while sophie and fitz obviously had flushed feelings for each other, their cognate relationship most closely resembles a moirallegiance. they're a pretty good representation of quadrant vacillation, going from close friends and cognates to dating to back to close friends (although their friendship is still recovering from that).

also, while sophie and keefe have flushed feelings for each other, they would actually make really good moirails. they repeatedly have "feelings jams" where they share their worries and trauma with each other (not to say that matesprits can't do this, it's just specifically associated with moirallegiance) like the sleepover scene in neverseen. they're able to see who each other are under their own individual masks, and have well-complementing personalities that bring each other back down to earth. sophie is impulsive but good at connecting with others while keefe thinks things through but makes decisions without consulting other people.

PITCH QUADRANT: KISMESISSITUDE/SPADES <3< (black, concupiscent)

this is where we start to get a bit confusing. pitch relationships are based on hatred, frustration, and annoyance, but just like moirallegiance isn't just an average friendship, kismesissitude isn't your average hatred. there is also an element of attraction and in homestuck is one of the two reproduction-based quadrants.

a kismesis, one's pitch partner, must be someone that not only annoys and angers you but also indirectly challenges you to grow and recognize your own flaws. a kismesis is someone you hate, but grudgingly respect, but also find attractive. basically, it's a very strong arch-rivalry. and while a kismesis is intrinsically hate-based, they’re supposed to cause more or less equal trouble for each other and not actually wish to kill or permanently disable the other. if one or both wants this, or there is a power dynamic where one is harming the other much more, then it’s not a healthy kismesis.

obviously, these feelings aren't really recognized in human or canonical elf society, but if they were i think keefe and tam would make a good kismesis pair. they have outwardly clashing personalities and abilities, but are actually very similar people with a lot of chemistry who just present in different ways. they are at odds for most of their interactions but do show trust and care.

some even better kismesis pairs could be sophie/stina, marella/stina, or even dex/stina. tbh this is just telling me that stina is really good as kismesissitude. home girl just loves hatred i guess. maruca/biana is also a plausible one. you could even do vespera/fintan. go crazy lol

a good example of unrequited pitch feelings is dex’s hate obsession with fitz in the first couple books. in recent material, keefe/fitz could be on their way to a pitch relationship after spending most of their lives in an either pale or platonic situation, but i digress.

ASHEN QUADRANT: AUSPITICISM/CLUBS c3< (black, conciliatory)

this is definitely the weirdest one and is the least defined within the text of homestuck itself, but it means we can also have some fun with it. in homestuck, the ashen quadrant is mostly used for the purpose of mediating two opposing people so they don’t fall into the pitch quadrant. it’s a weird three-way situation involving the conflicting pair and the auspistice, who would be the one having ashen feelings. these feelings might be expressed through an attitude of “god these two are idiots but they’re My idiots damn it and i need to make sure they don’t cause problems.”

two important things to note here: 1) you are only meant to have one person in each of your four quadrants at any given time. 2) while you can shift quadrants, your relationship with someone is only meant to have one of these labels at a time. homestuck trolls are very aggressive and develop feelings of dislike quite easily, so auspistices are needed to prevent people from cheating / getting into romantic fights with people who aren’t their kismesis. while elves aren’t as aggressive, this still could be a problem. for example, if tam and keefe were an established kismesis pair, but keefe and fitz started fighting in a way that could turn into hatred, sophie might be called to be an auspistice for them and make sure their fighting doesn’t turn pitch (in which case keefe would be cheating).

assuming keefe and sophie are matesprits, this also poses a problem for their relationship since sophie is acting as keefe’s auspistice and not his matesprit. It’s a lot.

auspisticism can also be a generalized way of describing relationship mediation. sophie, fitz, and keefe probably need some auspisticizing for all the quadrant shifting they’re doing.

this kind of feeling may be hard to recognize as romantic because of all the utilitarianism surrounding it. think of it as being a very dedicated therapist friend, or part of a very stressful polycule. it requires a Hell of a lot of devotion for two people for their friend to get involved in all that conflict, a devotion which can very much be romantic. I imagine sophie having a high capacity/desire to be an auspistice, as would biana.

that’s the main chunk of the explanation, and there’s a lot to play with here. beyond what i described, you can also get things like two people rapid-firing between flushed and pitch and back to flushed, to people who have feelings for each other but not the same kind, to messy groups of 3, 4, or even more people where relationship types are constantly shifting. conflict in one quadrant can also impact your relationships with all other partners. for example, when alden and quinlin’s cognatedom/moirallegiance fell apart, it could have put stress on quinlin’s matespritship with livvy to the point where the flushed feelings between them are either gone or turned into unhealthy kismesissitude depending on how you look at it.

still confused? that’s okay, you’re kind of meant to be. andrew hussie is a fucking mad lad who doesn’t even take their own story seriously. that being said he did give us the bare ideas for some cool and complex relationship dynamics and a new way of seeing romance, so i’ll give them that.

but anyways, have fun with this!! i would LOVE to see your homestuck-based HCs if you happen to come up with any. a couple more kotlc/homestuck related notes before you go:

- sophie foster is a valid troll name (6 letter first and last name) as is gisela sencen. i couldn’t find any others, which is weird considering the amount of characters.

- trolls have varying powers depending on their blood color, not unlike special abilities.

that’s all folks! have a spectacular day and i hope you learned something cool!

[fintan-pyren]

quick q abt stellarlune (im not gonna be able to read it for a while)

what characters are featured like a lot, outside of main three

If by main three you mean Sophie, Keefe, and Fitz, they actually aren't featured much. There's a lot of Sophie, but Keefe is mostly ignored until late in the book, and there are only a few scenes with Fitz.

It's a LOT of Sophie, which I kinda liked. The other characters it focused on were:

Oralie

Kenric

Ro

Gisela

Characters who also got a lot of screentime (pagetime?) and felt sort of relevant were:

Vespera

Tam

Edaline

Forkle

Trix

Fintan

Rayni

Characters who sort of were there were:

Fitz (mainly there for love triangle and cognate stuff)

Keefe (mainly there for ship stuff)

Wylie (played a small role but far more than earlier books)

Tiergan (mainly there for cognate purposes)

Marella/Maruca (mainly there for their abilities)

Prentice (minor role but said more than all the previous books combined and we got a sense of his personality)

Jensi (minor character development)

All the main characters appeared but most just said a few words without having any meaningful role in the book.

get your own fic recommended :]

Summary: In an alternate universe, Tiergan is there when Alden and Quinlin come to arrest Prentice. Desperate to save his lover, Tiergan throws himself into the fire instead.

My thoughts: Well. As stated in the ask, I did in fact write this fic, so my thoughts are perhaps slightly biased. That said—if you're a fan of Tiertice angst, this fic is definitely for you! It's all about Tiergan's desperation, Prentice's shock, and Quinlin and Alden's confusion and discomfort as the arrest doesn't quite go as planned. Tiergan has a choice to make, and unfortunately, he'll always choose Prentice and Cyrah over himself. Angst and anger and canon divergence, very fun.

Best KotLC ship?

I held polls for the most loved ship for each character. The winners of each poll went on to this poll to determine which ship is the fandom’s favorite ship.

p.s. idk about you guys but sokeefe is goated (with tiertice and marelinh a close second)

Solreef Family headcanon where ALL OF THEM ship Tiana. It started with Linh, of course, then Tiergan started shipping, then Wylie and Prentice. And then Rayni came and she’s all like “wait, you guys ship Tam with Biana? OH SO DO I EEEE”

But Tam is completely oblivious to all of this. He never notices the goofy, large smiles on his family’s faces anytime he brings up Biana because he’s to busy thinking about her to notice.

Wylie!

YES

my honest opinion of them:

oh. my gosh. i love him so much. he is my FAVORITE AROACE COLLEGE STUDENT!!! He's so!!!! Everything!!! I rarely talk about him because I fixate on Keefe and Tam and Sophie and everyone but stars above do I love this kid. He and I would be BEST FRIENDS if we ever met IRL, and I wholly believe that. He's just such a cool dude, and I think he's one of the privileged few who isn't blinded by anyone in the lost cities. I think he honestly can see through every single manipulation, from the council to the black swan to the neverseen. he doesn't know how to solve the problems, maybe, but he can definitely see through it. he's removed enough to come to the kids and tell them it's a lost cause, removed enough to see the big picture, Wylie Endal is a fantastic character and he's soooo hecking underrated. I love him. So much.

who i ship him with:

no one he's aro-ace like tiergan also if i did ship him with anyone it wouldn't be a character who exists in canon it would be some random college student he's met but anyways i dont ship characters who i headcanon as aro-ace amen

predictions for him in the next book:

agh

going to live, not a big enough character to get killed off. shannon isn't one to write murders for the sake of death, nor is she one to just kill a ton of her characters off.

uhm if tiergan doesn't adopt the twins wylie will, send post.

probably has crucial information, probably always has, and it will come out twenty minutes before sophie needed it, and she might have a mental breakdown about it

is going to hug those kids once this war is over. he is going to hug them. they are going to get wylie hugs.

Prentice is probably gonna get killed off, and Wylie will have to cope with losing his dad a second time, and he'll be so confused as to why it hurts less, because he never actually processed having a dad back, and he seems nearly unaffected, until one day when Tiergan asks him something and he just has an emotional breakdown on the couch at Solreef.
