GLOSSARY OF TERMS THAT COULD BE CONFUSING

I STILL DONT KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY NEED THIS OR IF I'M MAKING SOMETHING TARGETED TOWARDS AN ENTIRELY HYPOTHETICAL SET OF PEOPLE. BUT WHATEVER, THIS PAGE WILL BE AN EVER EXPANDING LIST OF TERMS AND DEFINITIONS. FEEL FREE TO REQUEST ANYTHING IF YOU *ARE* THE HYPOTHETICAL PERSON WHO NEEDS THIS.

FIRST FORM ALTERNIAN

REFERS TO THE VERSION OF ALTERNIAN SCRIPT THAT WAS CREATED FIRST; WHICH IS THE ONE PRESENT IN THE COMIC "HOMESTUCK", FOR REFERENCE. I ALSO REFER TO THIS AS OLD ALTERNIAN.

SECOND FORM ALTERNIAN

REFERS TO THE VERSION OF ALTERNIAN SCRIPT CREATED SECOND; THIS ONE IS PRESENT IN "HIVESWAP".

MOIRAILLEGANCE

(ALSO CALLED PALE ROMANCE) IS THE NAME OF A ROMANTIC QUADRANT. HUMANS TEND TO MISUNDERSTAND THIS ONE AS BEING BEST FRIENDS, BUT A BETTER WAY TO UNDERSTAND IT WOULD BE AS A VERY SPECIFIC TYPE OF QUEERPLATONIC RELATIONSHIP. A PARTNER IN THIS QUADRANT MAY BE REFERED TO AS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: MOIRAIL, DIAMOND, OR PALEMATE. HERE IS A LINK TO THE WIKIONARY ARTICLE , THOUGH I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH IT.

MATESPRITSHIP

(ALSO CALLED RED ROMANCE) IS THE NAME OF A ROMANTIC QUADRANT. THIS IS CONSIDERED THE CLOSEST QUADRANT TO STANDARD HUMAN ROMANTIC FEELINGS, BUT HAS SOME DIFFERENCES. A PARTNER IN THIS QUADRANT MAY BE REFERED TO AS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: MATESPRIT[E], HEART, AND ANY STANDARD HUMAN TERMS. "REDMATE" IS NOT A TERM I'VE SEEN ANYONE USE.
