btw if anyone is ever researching neopronuns and you find out that ae/aer was first used in the public domain scifi book, A Voyage to Arcturus, and oyu think, "Wow!! I wanna read that!!!"

I mean, you definitely can

but if you're expecting a coherent story you're not gonna find one.

I've literally never been so bewildered by any other book as much as I have by this book.

What is the plot, you ask?

I literally can't tell you because I have no clue.

I have no idea.

I don't even understand what people are saying half the time

and it's not because the book is old. I've read mcuh older books and they make perfect sense.

No, no this is just. 100% David Lindsey.

It sure is something.

The only real thing I have to say about it besides the fact that it makes no sense is that the planet itself is fucking beautiful. I love this fucking planet. It's too bad the story makes no sense because the planet is fucking breathtaking.

People have also made audiobooks of it for youtube. Maybe it'll make moresense that way lol....

it's also realy weirdly misogynisitc

and by weirdly misogynistic I mean the misogy is.....really fucking weird

[neopronouns-in-action]

Neopronouns in action: ae/aer/(aers)/aerself which will follow the same rules as she/her/(hers)/herself for this example.

Replace she with ae Replace her with aer Replace hers with aers Replace herself with aerself

EX:

"She is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as she gets a fence set up around her yard so the puppy can go outside without her having to walk it. Her uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he's letting her use, since she lost hers."

Becomes:

“Ae is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as ae gets a fence set up around aer yard so the puppy can go outside without aer having to walk it. Aer uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he’s letting aer use, since ae lost aers.”

This is also a free writing prompt, inspired by the 1896 short story, "The Wooing of Miss Woppit". It was written by a misogynistic transphobe glorifying colonization, so here's a very quick version that just says very simply "okay but what if we don't do that?"

===

Reclamation

By day ae was known by one name, one face. And by night, or by the shadows, ae was known by another.

During the day ae had to put on an act－dress a certain way, talk a certain way, act a certain way, behave the way society expected aer to behave. And society expected aer to be meek and quiet and fragile and reserved.

By night, ae could be whoever ae wanted to be, and do whatever ae wanted to do.

What ae wanted to do was steal from the rich, and give to the poor. Take from the wealthy bastards who ‘owned’ the mines and worked the laborers to death and claimed they were the rightful owners of the gold the laborers dug up and died for. Ae wanted to snatch the food out of their hands so ae could give it to those who didn’t have any. Rip the clothes off their backs to give to those who were freezing.

Ae had to hide who ae were during the day, wearing clothes ae hated and having to pretend to be shy and ‘traditional’ in order to fend off the unwanted advances from men ae would never be attracted to, never allowed a moment to express aer true feelings or thoughts or wishes, not even around aer brother.

Aer brother. Who’d leapt at the chance to become the marshal, the enforcer of the laws and rules that oppressed so many of their people. He thought he was above it all, better than everyone else. He thought it was their God-given right to be there, to claim ownership over that land, to drive away and oppress the people who’d been there first.

He didn’t know what ae did when no one was looking, where ae went when no one was watching.

All it took was a change of clothes, a mask, a wide-brimmed hat, a pilfered rifle, and the courage to stand up for what was right.

Ae went out by aerself to ambush the coaches carrying the rich and their riches from squalid camp to fairway city, draining the life out of the people who labored for them, and all the while doing the same to the land and the people who called it home, one dynamite blast at a time.

Ae ambushed the coaches and stole from the rich. Ae stole their money, their clothes, their food, their tools, their blueprints and plans, their letters and newspapers. After the first successful theft, ae used the stolen guns, carefully staged within the bushes, to make it seem like ae wasn’t alone, like ae was covered on all sides by allies who would open fire the second anyone made a wrong move.

Aer prey was too frightened to risk calling aer bluff, and handed over their valuables without putting up a fight.

Then ae made aer escape, leaving no evidence behind by which ae could be tracked. No one suspected who ae was, the thought would never even enter their minds. They would rather turn suspicious eyes on the coach driver, as though he were somehow responsible, even though he was under just as much threat as the rest of them were.

No one suspected a thing, not even aer brother, who spent most of his time now trying desperately to convince everyone that he had the situation under control.

No one noticed that the poorest of the poor were wearing another layer of clothes beneath their outer layers, and shivering less in the biting wind, or that they complained less of hunger because of the food ae had stolen for them.

No one noticed the poor, and no one noticed aer, or realized who ae was. There was no connection in their minds between the fearsome, unchatchable highway man who terrorized the roads, and the poor, wilting flower that ae had to pretend to be.

What they did notice were the trees they wouldn’t be able to cut down any time soon because their saw blades had been stolen. The new quarries they couldn’t blast, the animals they couldn’t mass-slaughter because ae had stolen the supplies for their ammunition.

Ae could not kill poverty or exploitation, or stop aer people from expanding further west, not on aer own, but ae did aer part to fight it, one stagecoach at a time.

Using the font "Mainframe"

These ones will be made only by request because the background means each word has to be spaced by hand, I can't just center them, so it takes a lot longer to make.

Feel free to use these for icons or in moodboards, whatever you want!

You can now buy these from threadless!
