#avoid pronouns

[ID: Tweets from Emily 'Soup Lesbian' Gwen (@theemilygwen) on twitter with the following text:

Well, just left a job interview crying because the hiring manager told me they liked my application but were disappointed that I didn't bother dressing appropriately. I tried to explain that I haven't been able to afford new clothes in years but I just couldn't handle it.

That comment and my reaction was one of the most mortifying moments of my life. I thought I put together a decent outfit for the job with what I had, and hearing her say that just destroyed me.

Anyway I'm still looking for work and struggling a lot. Even $5 would help pay for a meal. ko-fi.com/emilygwen

love everything about the creature from before the time of labels in Hilda S3E6. The design. The voice. The little airsacks on the neck. The menacing hunt. The whole "if you are not food than you are friends" thing. Cryptic references, refusing all labels. iconic being

PRODUCER USED THEY/THEM PRONOUNS FOR ME

Imagine 

Cuddling with Leviathan in his demon form. He’s cold blooded, ofc, but he has the tightest grip on you because you’re so damn warm and perfect. You’ve got blankets wrapped around you both and ngl his bathtub bed seems like the perfect place to stuff a bunch of pillows and plushies in. He’d have his tail wrapped around you and he’d keep nuzzling you in his sleep <3 He canonly does move around a lot in his sleep, though when he falls asleep with you in his arms and him in yours he doesn’t move a muscle <3333

Transmasc Leo is cool and all but y'all are missing out on the absolute hilarious scenario where he finds out he's biologically female and go "Oh. Oh. This explains so much."

And also the absolute chaos of going from the first one to come out as gay to the token straight. HOW are we missing out on this???

Just a question but as someone who's nullpronominal / uses no pronouns, I'm wondering why "use name as pronouns" and "no pronouns" were split in the pronoun polls?

I + the other nullpronominal people I know all consider ourselves both (since we usually have to phrase it as "no pronouns, please just use my name if you refer to me!" for people to understand) so we're just a little curious about the split there.

Or am I just totally misreading this and it's about using a name as a pronoun set? (e.g. emily/emily's/emilyself)

In previous big annual surveys I've combined "use name as pronouns" and "avoid pronouns" into one checkbox option, including this year.

But I have always wondered whether technically they're the same option or not. I've learned in the past that combining two almost-identical options is sometimes unexpectedly Trouble, for one. And also, I can sort of see how the two are very subtly different, if I think about it too much:

"Avoid pronouns" is when you refer to someone by name and then, in all speech where you would use a pronoun, you sneakily avoid pronouns somehow.

"Chris said his sister liked her birthday present" --> "Chris said his sibling liked the birthday present"

"This is Chris! He likes zebras" --> "This is Charlie, who likes zebras"

"Use name as pronoun" is when you substitute in someone's name in any place where you would have used a pronoun.

"Chris bought a coffee for himself and one for his friend Sadie" --> "Alex bought a coffee for Alex and one for Alex's friend Sadie"

Or, as you said, that could well use "Alexself" as the reflexive, nounself style.

So, perhaps this is the start of me investigating whether there is a difference, and whether anyone prefers one but not the other. (Then I can decide whether to split them in the big annual survey.)

There isn’t a wrong way to enjoy fandom and you can do literally whatever you want. now that is out of the way, I gotta say the way fandom treats characters with less accepted pronouns like it/its and will do advanced gymnastics to use any other pronouns makes me personally want to animorph into the joker sometimes 👍

[mossghosst]

ok so obviously morro isn’t cis but drop your neopronouns hcs for them. personally i’m projecting so i gave xem xe/xem pronouns

"I'm not gonna use pronouns! Pronouns are evil! I'm not gonna adhere to the transformer agenda! "

Then have fun trying to talk to people. I'm is a pronoun. Your is a pronoun. He, she, they, etc arent the only thing that are pronouns. Your sentences will now sound like this. "Going to get milk, do want to come with?" "Want fries." "Fuck." Your not pulling a super smart thing by saying your not gonna use pronouns bc even the sentence "I won't use pronouns" has a pronoun in it.

It's fascinating to me how Mizuki and Yoh both use short form when talking to each other but you can somehow still hear how Yoh is being more polite and deferring to Mizuki. Just in the way he uses filler words and how he intones stuff and his general mannerisms. Like at some point during the date I actually had to stop and pay attention in case he was slipping desu form in there and I just hadn't noticed.

de killer letting it slip that he doesn't know that adrian is a woman is probably my favorite moment in the entire franchise

Do you think when the collector comes to visit, he's hesitant about calling Raine "Ray Ray" after figuring out it was Belos talking the entire time the kid knew them?

Do you think Raine reassures him that he can still call them that nickname after catching him correcting himself?

Do you think Raine would show the collector some bard magic tricks and visa versa?
