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.
