An essay about Kanaya's ashen quadrant through the lens of compulsory heterosexuality. Figured I should finally get around to sharing this on Tumblr since I spent so much time on it.

Send me questions about auspisticism. Even if you think they sound dumb. I want to know what the people wanna know about auspisticism.

I wrote a review of the Paradox Space print-exclusive comic Fiduspawn from the perspective of the ashen interactions between Nepeta, Sollux, and Karkat.

i like that your blog has an all-quad aesthetic despite being "the ashen blog". i've always thought that an auspistice must necessarily be a master of all quadrants and their implications... it just makes sense! how else would they handle their vacillating outer leaves!

so in my mind, an auspistice being like, a card dealer, makes perfect sense symbolically.

Okay so. 1) you're absolutely right that auspistices do have to be a master of all quadrants to do their job right, or at least have to master ashrom AND whatever quad(s) the relationship was gunning for prior to the auspisticism. Or maybe they have to be jacks of all quadrants? Point is, quadrant vacillation and auspisticism go hand in hand. This is literally just canon.

And 2) the sad truth is that much of the ashen art or writing I find tends to be in the context of all quadrants being represented (when auspisticism isn't forgotten), so it's by necessity that I include pan-quadrant creations.

Anyways. I love auspisticism. Please make more ashen creations everyone. My life depends on it. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

I am a humble ashrom fan who wanted a place to organize all the auspisticism posts that strike my fancy.
