i had a dream that i made little cards that say "THEY!" on them that i handed out to people at work who got my pronouns wrong, immediately after they got it wrong. and in smaller text (or on the back) it said "i don't want an apology, i want you to do better" or "don't say you're sorry, DO BETTER" and ..... i kind of want to do it. maybe i'll get some moo cards made lmao
various scenarios included:
me slamming it down on a desk in front of them.
instead i had stickers, would slowly peel one off while they watched, and stick it on it on them.
handing out a quarter sheet piece of paper based on the 'i caught being good' tags we'd get in kindergarten which said 'i got caught misgendering hallie/my coworker'. it would have their name and date on it and a giant πŸ™ face. i had them as a pad of paper and would hold up a finger to say 'wait a second', dramatically pull it out of my back pocket, take my pen out of another pocket, slowly fill it out in front of them, and hand it to them while staring them in the eyes.
getting a whiteboard for the outer side of my cubicle wall that said '[days] since i was misgendred' (with a bonus by saying 'last offender: [name]'
i also dreamt that i got into trouble for it because i was making people feel bad and was 'creating a hostile work environment'. i was just like.... okay and how do you think i feel? and my boss shut up real fuckin quick. dunno if that would be the case irl but if that does happen i can only dream.
#tired of the people who say 'i'm trying but i'm going to make mistakes'#ok sure i definitely mess up sometimes too but when it's not even close to 50/50 let alone merely uncommon ............. fuck you#what's sad is it's all people i like and it hurts so much#in the dream it the cards also said something about how i'm not a girl. not a lady. not a woman. stop saying that word to me ...#... in plural when i'm with female coworkers. about half the time i say 'not a lady' and only about half the time it's acknowleged#or that one who constantly posts female-empowering images on ig which are alienating bc it's clearly very binary#and getting comments like 'well it applies to you to!!!' why bc i have a pussy? fuck off#and she'll sometimes say 'thank you for your patience' (what patience) or 'have patience with me' (no.)#i've also thought of holding up my name tag in their faces bc my previous boss had it specially made for me#it's got my name position and pronouns#same boss tho..... he was REALLY consistent about using my pronouns but one day used she/her three times in a row before eventually...#... correcting himself and the next day i told him that really sucked especially from him and he later told me i should have been nicer...#... about it. i was PISSED. i said 'well then how should i have said it?' i don't even remember his answer i just know i wanted to go...#... off on him SO BADLY bc he said it 'hurt his feelings'. well too fucking bad bc every time i'm misgendered it makes me want to...#...die inside a little and feels like at the very least a tiny punch to the gut but that felt like being stabbed esp since it was a new hir#he also said 'ok but i corrected myself' yeah AT THE END after doing it THREE TIMES and that's not the point here#anyway lol this dream definitely stirred up shit unfortunately but i'm serious when i say i might actually have these made#like both my internal email and external emails have my pronouns in them (i had to campaign for this btw so thank you me)#but i recently added my own custom signature with 'they/them' in it that has a link about using pronouns correctly#me#lgbtq#nonbinary

Got tagged by @untaintedtea for this! ;u; thank u for the interest dfgdfg. Not everything is super set in stone (but i mean...one can always be flexible with ocs, there r aspects that'll never change and some that just depend on the mood huehuehuehue) but for now this is what i got!!! c: i uh,,, i actually don't know who to tag for this, but if anyone wants to take this template HAVE AT IT!!! and @ me so we can pretend im cool and tagged u....
Tumblr media
GENERAL
name: Miranon alias[es]: Quaril out of necessity. and i guess it's not an alias, but "Mimi" is a nickname that he's had for forever. Only people that call him that are his family and whatever previous lovers he's had. (and me and my gf, bc mimi is cute and shorter than Miranon) gender: male age: I wanna say around 70 years old, given Altmer lifespans birthdate: 4E 131 roughly?? place of birth: The Summerset Isles hometown: Alinor spoken language[s]: Altmeri and Tamrielic (had to look that up but basically Common Tongue sdfdfg) sexual preference: bisexual occupation: Previously a Thalmor soldier, largely at the urging of his family. After his desertion, mimi becomes a bard, then an instructor at Solitude's Bards College, then takes a year long break as a traveling bard, and then back to being an instructor again when he returns to Solitude. he teaches young bards singing, how to be charismatic when u perform, and survival skills (like how to fight, which would come in handy when you're traveling on ur lonesome).
APPEARANCE
eye color: greens hair color: auburn height: 6'/182.88cm scars: Most noticeable one is the one right in the middle of his face that goes straight across his nose.
FAVORITE
color: shades of maroon and greens. and cream. hair color: auburn lol, he doesn’t do anything with it song: he tends to lean towards any of the singable songs. his favorites may be The Dragonborn Comes, The Coldharbour Compact, and Stagger and Sway (the last 2 being from ESO which I've never played lmao, but let's pretend that ppl still sing those in TES:V timeline) food: fish of all kinds, so long as they're well seasoned. or even over-seasoned. and paired with bread. Oh and he also loves hearty stews. That's a more recent development for him. drink: since coming to Skyrim, he's really taken to ale and mead lol
HAVE THEY
passed university: definitely, though his family had considered it a miracle at the time, since he didn’t much care for it. (he was more of a party boi) had sex: yes had sex in public: yes, mostly in his younger years whdjwjjf gotten pregnant: no kissed a boy: yes kissed a girl: yes gotten tattoos: no gotten piercings: no been in love: yes stayed up for more than 24 hours: yes
ARE THEY
a virgin: no a cuddler: YES a kisser: YES scared easily: no jealous easily: no dominant: yes submissive: yes in love: yes c: single: no C:
RANDOM QUESTIONS
have they harmed themselves: nnno? or maybe yes in the sense of drinking a lot pre-desertion of the Thalmor. thought of suicide: no attempted suicide: no wanted to kill someone: yes have / had a job: yes have any fears: getting recognized, captured, and dragged back to the Summerset Isles mostly. and the general fear of losing those closest to him. and draugr.
FAMILY
sibling[s]: a twin sister named Siriana. they were pretty close and she’s the only one from his old life that knows where he is. they exchange letters from time to time. parent[s]: Neneth (mother) and Runarion (father), both alive, presumably. mimi became more and more distant from his parents during his years as a Thalmor soldier, which other Thalmor were aware of. though he doesn't hold them in the highest regard, he does hope his desertion hasn't impacted his parents too terribly (beyond any humiliation in social circles anyway). children: none significant other: @illrae's Foro c: pets: no, though he's not against the idea
