#ranboo uses he/they pronouns

[me1-atonin]

ok so this is the bare minimum but hearing charlie and grian use they/them pronouns for ranboo and joe respectively makes me happy

[updatingranboo]

what are ranboos pronouns? i was/have been under the assumption they used any but someome told me they only used they/them & ive also heard they/he....

i tried stalking ranboos socials to find out but it didnt work out 😭

ranboo uses they/he! as of december last year they swapped from he/they to they/he, most likely meaning they now prefer they/them the most (but are still fine with he/him used on him) though he’s never actually talked about it on stream or anything :]

they’ve never used she/her, except for when talking about miss beloved (their drag persona) or osmp ranboo (who’s canonically transfem)

[ramshitposts]

Drives me insane how everytime someone posts a then vs now comparison of dsmp streamers half the comments are like "ough ranboo glow down" "the Karl effect got to ranboo" and other shite like that and. dude.

Like it's embarrassing enough to act like that towards anyone but on top of acting like a child they're also admitting they have the worst gaydar known to man.

[visree]

hey guys

we collected the genders

[tinogiehd]

I don't know if I am weird for this but it always kind of rubbed me in the wrong way of Ranboo always seems to kind of denounce? minecraft and dsmp. Like it kinda comes across as being ungrateful. No matter how successful he is now, he wouldn't be here without dream and dsmp even if people say otherwise. If he wanted an identity outside of dsmp (and I wouldn't blame him) and wants to distance himself from mc he could've done it in a better way. For me always it comes across as arrogant? like he blessed the dsmp and mc community by appearing in it. The way he makes fun of his fans, rubs me wrong.

Ignore this if it upsets you in anyway :)

i’ve definitely heard this take before but honestly i don’t consume their content firsthand so idk what exactly has been said or how they’ve acted. afaik he’s made friends with people who’ve routinely mocked mcyt and fallen in with that but i could be wrong 💀💀 if this is true then yeah that’s pretty fucked up and weird to be doing like you can move on but so many of his fans are so intertwined with and love mcyt and he does owe his start to it so I can definitely see the discomfort

[duodusk]

ive been talking about this a lot because it pisses me off . like seriously. why are people going so far out of their way to explicitly misgender him every time. like ranboo goes by he/him people use they/them anyway, then they come out as he/they and now people use she/her or neos and its like. pronouns arent a suggestion theyre the ones he uses and its not your place to just decide hes not nonbinary enough for you with the set he uses

[solarwindsempire]

Heard the news, too scared to watch the video, thinking about kids cartoons instead

[dyketubbo]

going under the assumption that because they have two blood colors cranboo has two hearts as well. if she had a heart attack would cranboo have it in both hearts or just one

[voicehydrangea]

My friend,,,,

My friend told me I vaguely sounded like Ranboo, so I went into a frenzy and pictured an alternate universe where Ranboo and Tommy was just me and her. Drew it for a meme, and I ended up spending too much time on it for a person who should be asleep NOT to post it.

Fun facts:

- Even though I'm a cat person, I really, really want a dog.

- I started questioning my identity in 2019; I'm no closer to finding a label now than I was then. The difference is, now I don't want a label. I just am. :]

holding ranboo In my Hands i hope they are having the BEST DAY EVER.

[updatingranboo]

ranboo recently swapped their pronouns from he/they to they/he !! this most likely means they now prefer they/them :] (you can still use he/him though!)

[lowkeyrobin]

masterlist

KARL JACOBS

like a 7/10

he holds/squeezes your hand when another person is talking to/trying to hit on you to try and say "hey end the convo ur awesome bf is here"

if you're visibly uncomfortable and don't know how to end the convo, he slings an arm over your shoulders and kinda leans on you

"Hey, how can I help you? Oh, they're busy, sorry. Oh, yeah, I'm their boyfriend, thanks for asking! I love them a lot"

he tends to overthink so asks you for reassurance sometimes just to make sure

"Karl, im not leaving you for some ugly, potent rat that reeks of weed and probably doesn't even have a couch in their home."

QUACKITY

probably another 7/10

if he's jealous over a mutual friend, he'll playfully cuss them out (English or Spanish, depends on the time and day)

if it's a random, he'll scare them off with a nasty ass glare

he's too scared to actually say something so he does his best to silently make it known that you're his yk?

NIKI NIHACHU

5/10

again, mutual agreement like punz

yall don't get jealous / protective of each other too much

but if someone's getting a little too weird she'll step in like, "Hey, they're taken. Please leave us alone, thanks"

she holds ur hand and everything if you're the one diffusing a situation or anything as a little "I love you" / "you're super cool!!"

RANBOO

6/10

theyre sometimes a little worried about losing you

but we all know you'd never 😭🙏

if he has to step in, he just towers over and glares at the other person til they get uncomfortable and leave

"No, you can't have their number. thats my partner, try someone else"

if it's a friend playfully flirting with you, he doesn't care, he knows that's a joke most the time lol

they're very open about jealousy and stuff and obv you two resolve problems pretty easily, if there is any lol

TOMMYINNIT

honestly 8/10

not that he doesn't trust you, he just doesn't trust himself that he's good enough for you to stay with him yk

he uses his cool guy abilities to scare the other person away though (glaring, scoffing, checking a non existent watch etc)

"yeah yeah, they have a boyfriend, can you leave us alone now?"

[fagbearentertainment]

*This poll is for how much trans swag a character has, canonical transness isn’t relevant to this particular poll

*Ranboo, the person who played c!Ranboo, is nonbinary and uses he/they pronouns. Misgendering them will be an instant block

[mcytransswag]

ROUND TWO!

The_Eret: nominated from the Dream Smp. Headcanoned to be nonbinary and transfem. (Any pronouns but it/its, which Eret also uses irl)

Ranboo: nominated from Origins SMP. They are nonbinary irl, and use he/they pronouns

Note: Eret identifies as genderqueer irl

[antimony-medusa]

Okay this is 100% discourse, so maybe avert your eyes if you don't want to see me wail at the heavens, but for a fandom so anxious about boundaries, we haven't actually been very good in practice at respecting the actual stated boundaries the streamers put down, and I think it shows what we're actually policing, which is not things to make the streamers comfortable, it's stuff to make us comfortable.

This ranges from inventing new boundaries for people (you can't use neopronouns for ranboo, their pronouns are he/they; there's no boundaries on dark content for streamers so obviously we have to invent and enforce dark sbi rules ourselves) and then harassing people based on those boundaries that we just made up, to ignoring the actual things that the streamers said if we don't agree with them (cc!dream said he was uncomfortable with gore art back during the revolutionary war/exile but he's a villain, right, so we can just do whatever we want with the character, right?) and just doing whatever we want.

This is a recurring problem, with people violently policing boundaries that the fandom has all agreed on, to the point of doxxing and harassment and death threats, and ignoring boundaries that they have decided "don't make sense".

Like here's the example I put in the tags earlier, which is Technoblade related. Everyone knows that family dynamic is great and shipping is a no-go, right? But if you actually go looking for the clips, (or listen to streams in the background recursively while you're doing other things), you'll find that what Technoblade said about shipping was that it was "kinda cringe" (I think the list of things he said was cringe included reading percy jackson books and talking like you're better at video games than you actually are), and he was MUCH stronger in saying that he didn't like family dynamic in canon, saying that he didn't like it, that it was non-canon, and he'd never betray his family like that.

But if you look at the entire "found family" tag on Ao3, 19,860 stories, Technoblade is tagged into 29% of them. That's 5,760 fics just blowing right past what Technoblade said. Boom. Taking that character from his political anarchist setting and setting him right down in a royalty au w. younger siblings.

Because obviously a family dynamic isn't actually going to hurt someone's feelings or make them feel weird, the fandom has agreed, so what he must mean was that saying that family dynamic was actual literal canon is the only bad thing (I have been clotheslined by family dynamic written into stuff tagged as "canon compliant" multiple times as well,) and we can continue with the fun family stuff, right? Because someone saying they don't like family dynamic doesn't make Sense, in the way that I like it, the fandom has agreed, so we can just ignore that clip. Honestly I think that a ton of people have no idea that Technoblade ever said anything negative about family dynamic, because that clip is never brought out or talked about. I literally only know about it because I've watched that stream.

Meanwhile, the much less firmly stated boundary when it comes to shipping is absolutely doubled down on and brought out to justify mobbing people off the internet, because everyone already knows that shipping is bad and terrible and tainted and horrible to do and we don't like it, so even the slightest indication that it's out has to be grabbed and used to police people. So that everyone can be very to sure themselves that what they're doing is not weird, and the streamers are okay with it, and if I showed them my fic they'd say they liked it.

They're not going to give the Ok to your fic, because the fic isn't FOR them, and it shouldn't be. It's for the other weird fans who can't stop thinking about the block men characters, it's not for the actors. The actors have their own lives, leave them alone.

To be clear, I am not saying that we should stop writing family dynamic to respect Technoblade's feelings. Among other things, I don't think he's checking his character tag on Ao3 right now. But like, I've talked before about the way that boundaries culture ends up working in practice, and how constantly bringing problems up to streamers just ends up showing them all the things that are the most weird to the streamer. You only have to look at what most of Benchtrio has done in terms of boundaries, which has been transitioning from very explict boundaries with details on everything to just saying "just use your manners," stopping answering questions, and telling people to actually think about what they're showing the streamer instead of expecting someone to weigh in on it for them.

But even when it comes to the boundaries that we do have, that we know about, the way people enforce them seems to be less about actually respecting what the creators like, and more about making sure we're morally pure and never have to see something that we personally don't like, and we don't happen to have any of that nasty boys kissing content in our work, because we all know that's terrible. (And as someone who's seen crackdowns on LGBTQIA content several times, that certainly has unfortunate overtones.)

As long as it's all kept away from the creators, I really think that fluffy cuddly family dynamic and kissing fic and hardcore whump all falls into the category of "not for the creators, they might find that one weird, but you do you". Like keep it away from the streamers, use your brain, but like, it's all a bit weird and for fun. Let it be weird and for fun in a secluded part of the internet, keep it away from the streamers, tag your shit for people who don't want to see it, and go to town.

So just like, I really think that "creator boundaries" should be more about using your brain as to what you show the streamer, and less about harassing someone off the internet cause they drew kissing art.
