A term coined in the MSPA webcomic Homestuck, used to refer to a strong platonic relationship. One of several types of romance (referred to as quadrants) for an alien species referred to as "trolls," although such a relationship can be formed between a troll and a human or between two humans as well. Represented by a diamond (<>), in the same way a sexual romantic relationship is represented by a heart (<3). Also referred to as palemance, pale mates, pale romance, the pale quadrant, and palerom. Is sometimes used by nerdy Homestuck fans to refer to their best friends.
person 1: "You and so-and-so are awfully close, what's going on between you two? c:"
person 2:. "We're moirails! We were just close friends for a while but we recently entered the pale quadrant. ^u^"

1. The mindset of an individual who thinks they are very mature "for their age" and therefore refuses to see where they have room for improvement. Will often use their alleged maturity as an excuse for the stupid, petty shit they do.
Everyone has this mindset at some point in adolescence, but if they retain this trait at age 25 it is unlikely they will ever grow the fuck up.
2. Less commonly, the mindset of someone who <i>knows</i> that they are immature, but just doesn't give a shit.
They will most likely reach maturity eventually because they don't play victim when something goes horrendously wrong. Because they have the self-awareness to know how their actions led to the end results, they know what to do if they want to prevent those results from happening in the future.
Typically, this brand of immaturity is more agreeable, friendly, and tolerable than the first type.

1. He acts like he knows all that, but gets defensive when someone questions the rationale behind his policies. He's 40 years old, and he's still immature.
2. He knows he shouldn't buy 10 cartons of orange juice. He know he shouldn't go to Starbucks everyday like hipster trash, and especially not when he barely has enough food to last him until his next paycheck. He knows he shouldn't binge watch the whole season of Breaking Bad on Sunday night when he knows he has to get up early for work the next day. He<b>knows.</b>
But will that stop him? Ah hells no.

Kismesissitude involves both mutual hate and mutual sexual attraction between two individuals. Kismeses do NOT "hate each other but love each other on the inside"; it's TRUE hate, felt equally by both parties. This is called a caliginous relationship.
The term was coined in the webcomic Homestuck, written by Andrew Hussie, and refers to one of many forms of romance of an alien species known as trolls.
Though fueled by rivalry, defeating or killing your kismesis is discouraged since that would obviously end the relationship. Kismeses must be equally matched for the rivalry to be fulfilling; if one consistently bests the other neither will feel the satisfaction of competition. Sexual attraction is a part of this as well; kismeses may engage in hatesex.
Kismesissitude can be either healthy or abusive. A caliginous relationship must involve mutual respect, admiring each other's strengths even while hating one another. If the relationship makes one or both parties feel inferior, it's unhealthy. Kismesissitude should encourage each individual to improve themselves so that they may surpass one another; if both parties do this, both will continue to grow trying to match one another.
It was previously thought that only trolls could develope caliginous feelings for one another, but recent updates in the Homestuck webcomic suggest that a troll and a human may be able to form kismesissitude.
Also known as blackrom, black romance, hatemance, and caliginous romance.

I need to get stronger to maintain my kismesissitude; my kismesis is starting to get the upper hand. This ought to be fun....
