#clover four
Note
Could you analyze the canon charm pairs we see on page 6007 of homestuck?— itchy (pot o gold, horseshoes, balloons)/doze (rainbow, moon, hearts) and trace(diamonds, star, horseshoe)/clover(pot o gold, hearts, clover)?
AHAHAAAA YES OK
I will go at these through the idea of these as examples of troves rather than feelings they have for a particular other and discuss what each trove bracelet would consist of in their entirety, because each charm in a bracelet effects how the others are expressed. I also got your other ask and i will also cover the charms mentioned in TIDOMS.
Itchy and Pot o' Gold/Horseshoes/Balloons: I noted in my charm post initially that Gold/Balloons may be similar to "work-wives", the idea of having someone at work separate from your romantic partner at home whom you are emotionally close to and find mutual support and companionship in without the romantic angle. Adding Horseshoes to this may result in the type of bracelet that would form between coworkers who act as confidantes, commiserate on similar feelings, and may lack an angle of physical intimacy. I actually think this fits very well for Itchy, and this may be the kind of dynamic he has with Trace and Fin, although without the charm labels, where they bitch about Crowbar and having to do their jobs. A Horseshoes/Balloons combination de-fangs Balloons somewhat- It lessens the typical intensity of emotional connection and comfort by nature of its casualness, so it's good for that kind of mild emotional constipation I imagine most of the Felt have. Doze and Rainbows/Moons/Hearts: This is a fun one- Rainbows contributes to this relationship being very circumstantial and impermanent, but Moons is about distance and charm-mates coming back together and parting reliably. Hearts of course is conventional romance and mutual feelings. This creates what I would call a summer love trove- charm-mates in a bracelet like this would likely see each other very rarely, possibly only in a specific place: ex. where they vacation, or a certain annual event, or something along those lines, but when they do, its impassioned and deeply romantic, before parting with little to no communication until the next time that event happens- This is a very fun little crush-feelings setup, very "worlds apart" trysts energy. I don't know if this would come up for Doze personally, and if so, with whom- but its definitely fun.
Trace and Diamonds/Stars/Horseshoes: This one's a bit complicated. Diamonds invokes calignous-adjacent feelings, stars invokes respect/adoration, and Horseshoes invokes a casual friendliness and comraderie. The resultant feelings for this trove might create a relationship, for example, between two competitive athletes of similar skills, who admire one another's abilities, and face off actively- as if on opposite teams who clash regularly in a team sport. This could also be replicated in competing employees who are still coworkers and maintain a friendly veneer while spitting insults and snarling behind closed doors. I can see this kind of relationship being similar to what Trace and Fin had when they first met, actually. Their abilities put them in a unique position with one another, and they've mellowed into Diamonds/Hearts/Clovers since (with a light unhealthiness in Clovers, derived from their mild dissatisfaction and upsets that they refuse to communicate with each other about to risk breaking the Clovers, but readily discuss with their Balloons).
Clover and Pot o' Gold/Hearts/Clovers: this trove implies businesslike transaction, romantic love and mutual reciprocation, and a relationship that highlights the best of both charm-mates effortlessly. Cans and Crowbar have a steady Clovers/Pot o' Gold relationship, which is a good example to look at- Cans' is his own asset, his size and strength make him particularly useful to Crowbar, and Crowbar's direction and tactical instructions make Cans more effective as a fighter, and employee under Lord English. Very transactional in nature. Their Clovers' rides off of the Gold, as their relationship brings out the best in each other, primarily on a business level. Crowbar feels like an effective leader when commanding Cans properly, and when the two work together, and Cans feels most useful and respected when he does a good job, and Crowbar is both proud of him, and making best use of his skills. Cans carries a Star for Crowbar as well, in relation to this dynamic. Adding a Hearts charm to their bracelet would simply invoke a more romantic intimacy, and likely break their Clovers charm which is already strained slightly by the communication necessary in their working relationship. In terms of Clover, he could likely a relationship of this type easiest with Deuce. Clover carries pitch for Deuce and Deuce does reciprocate, but he isn't a very hateful person to begin with, and if he could wrap his head around charms (which few non-leprechauns can), this may be one form their relationship could take if they were to work together.
FINALLY: TIDOMS
Balloons is a charm that has a lot of emotional vulnerability, goodwill and patience involved, and as Crowbar manages the Felt he often sees just how uncooperative, unkind, and stubborn they can get, I'm not surprised he would believe they're all unfit for Balloons. Crowbar doesn't know how they were interacting or what in particular Clover had been propositioning Itchy with, but does suggest Horseshoes as another possibility, and I agree that this is a good guess. Itchy and Clover would probably make for decent Balloons though, if a big part of their repartee is teasing one another and physical pranks. As Clovers/Horseshoes, they also don't communicate extensively, and Balloons is importantly about emotions and vulnerability- which neither of them are super willing to go into detail with one another, in case it ruins the magic.
I hope you enjoyed this little too-long tangent!

How did we end up shitting on redheads so hard can you BELIEVE how cool it is that some humans just HAVE red hair?? Like a group really saw the irl equivalent of a shiny pokemon and collectively went "I'm gonna bully that" and everyone went along with it for a hundred years. Like WHAT

13 and 20 :3
13: worst blorboficiation
I don't know honestly, maybe Clover tbh? I see why he's so popular sometimes but at the same time, he has so little canon content. He's not even featured as much or more than like, Eggs and Biscuits. TIDOMS gives him a little more, but I just don't think he's drastically more interesting than the rest of the felt or even most of the Felt. He's just one of the guys I like and I don't like him any more than I do most of the Felt. I also think that is at the expense of more interesting characters that get comparatively ignored. I want to talk about Stitch or Quarters or Matchsticks, their powers are more interesting!
20: part of canon you found tedious or boring
I don't even think this is an unpopular opinion per se, but I think the parts where Slick has Die's doll are relatively of low consequence and tedious. It's classic bullshit, it's fine, and it isn't overly long, but I prefer how time travel was handled in TIDOMS a LOT more, it's more interesting by a long shot! And I imagine that kind of experience isn't unusual for any of the Felt, let alone Crowbar, so the total mundanity of Crowbar running into himself really makes me smile. I like a lot of the rest of the more tedious bits because they make me smile and give me fun character moments, like Deuce and Doze, but the kind of boring way Slick pops places and shoots people is meh. The Die takedown and his thoughts about Snowman are the exemptions
