What pronouns do nonbinary people use in Spanish?
any pronouns they want but lenguaje inclusivo does exist. If someone wants to use neutral pronouns in spanish, they can use elle or substitute the e in articles and adjectives. its becoming more popular, and lenguaje inclusivo isnt just about making language neutral, but also about subverting gender dynamics. my favorite professor during my study abroad in Barcelona always greeted us as "chicos, chichas, y chiques", and many other greetings he included both the feminine and neutral version of the word. It's about destroying the idea of only using the "male" version of words because grammatically they also include women (ex, "los cocineros" can mean all men or 1 man the rest women, while "las cocineras" means all women only). Idk, it's kinda cool and it was nice seeing it in practice while abroad, but yes, nonbinary folks can use any pronouns they want, but if they want neutral terms, we usually add the "e" or "x" ending to words. There are other versions I've seen around but I dont remember them.

imagine being someone at new rome university and not knowing percy is the same guy as “percy jackson, son of poseidon, two-time hero of olympus, former praetor” because the thought doesn’t even cross your mind. like… he’s percy. he’s a total frat boy. on a normal night, he walks into a party, refers to everyone as bro or dude, socializes with every living (and not-living) person in the room, makes at least 50 sarcastic comments, plays 12 rounds of beer pong, drinks way too much, and then skates around campus on his skateboard yelling “I LOVE NEW YORK” (which makes no sense, because they’re in california) until someone calls his girlfriend to come get him.
and then one day there’s an attack, and frat boy percy is all of a sudden a fighting machine. he’s yelling battle cries alongside the praetors frank zhang and hazel levesque as they lead everyone into battle. (why is he with the praetors? and why…. why in the world do the praetors seem to be following his lead?) his sword slashes through armies of monsters faster than you’ve ever seen. he’s controlling the entire river surrounding the camp, creating huge waves as tall as skyscrapers that crash down all around him, wiping out monsters and causing mass destruction to his enemies’ ranks. the sky is suddenly dark above you, ice-cold water droplets are slashing through the air, and the wind is blowing so aggressively that it’s making it hard to stand up steadily. because he’s somehow created a hurricane.
and he looks terrifying. you can feel the power radiating off of him. he’s like a god. or maybe a monster. it’s hard to tell. you’re a little scared of him, to be honest. but also in total awe, because it’s extraordinary. he’s extraordinary.
frat boy percy is not who you thought he was.

I ❤️ self-loathing characters, characters who struggle with monstrosity (either fearing or embracing it), characters who are so lonely, who have a gaping hole in their chest, who bottle up & repress their feelings, who claw their way up & have ambitions, who fall down & lose everything, who search for identity & purpose yet can’t see themselves outside of what others want from or expect of them, who are hurt & hurt others, who long & grieve, who lie & pretend. characters who are messy & flawed & human

Prompt 261
“So is no one going to talk about the eldritch space child or…”
“I mean, do you want to get between a child and Batman? I think the only one who could even get close right now is Superman…”
“No you’re right, I think- oh my god the eldritch space child is playing with batman’s bat-ears and he’s not doing anything about it what the fuck I thought only Robins could get away with that-”

cas would not kiss dean first. dean would also not kiss cas first. this is their tragedy. but a shapeshifter or some kind of monster clone or djinn dream would initiate the first kiss and they would 100% return it. or the real dean and cas would've just simply fallen together somehow like tripped and fell and gravity would bring their mouths together whoops anyway they'd both take it from there - and that's not fate pulling strings it's just dumb luck for these two dumbasses (affectionate)

poor rose got stuck with the metacrisis doctor fresh out of almost committing genocide. the doctor handed him off to her like 'here. another traumatized version of me. please fix him so he doesn't do anything crazy.' meanwhile donna's over here having weekend brunch with uncle doctor who just got back from his weekly therapy session.
