My personal opinion on/depiction of Auspicitude, my favorite quad alongside Moiraillegiance.
Auspicitude comes in two forms: the third leaf auspistice and the break up auspistice.
The break up auspistice is arguably the one most depicted in canon ashen relations. It’s exactly how it sounds, it’s the form of auspicitude that is there to prevent a kismesistude from arising due to pitch infidelity or both members involved or/& the people around them cannot at the time afford to be boggled down/distracted by the crush. So of course someone will step in to break up the possible kismesis pair, said person however must be someone both individuals trust enough to listen to them even in the heat of passion/anger, must have a cool & clear enough head to cut straight to the roots and must be determined enough to constantly interfere with the two’s bullsh*t. Unlike the third leaf auspistice the break up auspistice is short lived, only lasting as long as the crush lasts - it’s an thankless and unfulfilling task but someone has to do it.
The third leaf auspistice is arguably the most described but least shown in canon. It’s a longer lasting auspicitude and highly fulfilling although depending upon the individuals involved also/still thankless. It’s essentially a moiraillegiance for kismesistude, being basically a pale relationship but not on the same level/intensity as a moiraillegiance and for both individuals in the kismesis pair. For this reason the ashen-spec is a less intense version of the pale-spec, also the third leaf auspistice can be different ashe bond for either individual in the pitch pair - the auspistice could be a ascended friend ashen bond to one and a queerplatonic partnership ashen bond to the other, a romance but not ‘romance’ ashen bond to one and a sibling bond ashen bond to the other, etc. The third leaf is someone who cares about both individuals on a deep enough level to constantly place themselves in the couple’s bullsh*t(when it’s called for) to console/sooth them & help them work out issues/kinks that even the healthiest kismesistude is bound to have due to the romance’s nature and both members of the kismesistude trust their third leaf enough to listen to them even in midst of passion/anger as well as trusts them enough to be believed when they say something about the other if one of the pair needs greater context on their spademate and for the relationship to be kept on the same understanding/level.
Please note, however, a third leaf auspicitude is not for unhealthy/abusive/toxic kismesistudes, it’s a trusting relationship between individuals that trust and care for one another in both the auspistice side and the kismesis pair, if a kismesistude is unhealthy/abusive/toxic the relationship needs to be broken up/cut out and not encouraged to try and ‘fix it’.
The third leaf auspicitude is just as much of a quadrant / relationship as any other, it’s not an inherently “lesser”/“less important” quadrant / relationship.
