[[You may not have realized it, Karkat, but she was taking notes while you were explaining. This includes drawing a diagram of her own. She shakes her head, offering the paper to you.]]

I do not believe so, unless my own is mistaken.

[[That notepad may be for Pokemon breeding, but who's to say it can't be used for other various romantic subjects?]]

So, Matespritship, represented here in the top left by the heart, is where two share positive feelings that lead to a more intimate relationship than simply being friends. Kismesissitude, represented by the spade down here, involves two hating each other at such passionate levels that it also leads to a more intimate relationship.

The Double Reacharound, which I've shown as this double sided arrow to the side here, takes place when one side feels more negative feelings and the other more positive, causing a sort of flip flopping between the two quadrants in which they cannot quite decide where they fit, therefor settling with both.

Moirallegiance, found here in the top right of my personal diagram as a diamond, is formed when one side of the relationship needs guidance to help ease their reckless behavior, whether violent or not, and hopefully steer them in the right direction.

I have a feeling both sides likely need a little of it from each other, otherwise you would have an endless chain of Moirails, which doesn't sound quite like what goes on, but those are my own thoughts I suppose.

Finally, Auspisticism, which is represented by the black club on my chart (seeing as there is a sort of theme here, and that is the only symbol missing), requires a third party to help mediate feelings of hatred, aiming to avoid the two mediated from becoming concupiscent for a variety of reasons, each likely unique to the individuals involved.

[[She glances back down at her chart before looking back up at Karkat.]]

At least, that is what I understand. Feel free to correct me where needed.
