#so if I screw it up or make anybody uncomfy with the use of gendered language just lemme know

Just a PSA- I do tend to "he" or "she" Skykids, Elders, and Spirits. Partially on appearance, but mostly on vibes.
My best guess is because I've never felt any conflict regarding my gender identity. The doctors said "It's a girl!" And I said "Sounds about right." I had a few times when I was like 6 when I wished I was a boy, but it didn't stick and I realized I really just wanted "permission" to be loud and messy. Which I can do just fine no matter what my gender is ANYWAY, but like I said. I was like 6. My brain likes patterns, my brain likes rules, and unless told otherwise it tends to sort people into boys and girls because unfortunately that's just... What I'm used to, I guess.
I'm just saying this NOW because if I say he or she about a character- Original or otherwise- And I get it wrong or you would rather I use "they" about your art, please don't hesitate to shoot me a message so I can fix it! I've had people get it wrong with my character on another blog before and it feels very yuck- Especially when they don't bother using the RIGHT words after you tell them. That's been a blockable offense for me, honestly. I don't want to make anybody else go through that, so if I need to change the pronouns I'm using for your art and the folks in it, just holler at me! I might not always remember everybody all the time, especially if it's been a while, but I WILL always fix it ASAP.
