Pro tip, writers who only use she/her or he/him pronouns:

If you usually write everything in 3rd person POV, but just suddenly feel the need to write in the 1st person as soon as you're dealing with a character who uses neopronouns of some sort, that is your unpacked exorsexism talking and trying to make you avoid using the pronouns that make you uncomfortable.

Resist the urge. Write your story in 3rd person POV just the same way you would if the character used she/her or he/him. Get used to it.

Switching to 1st person POV as soon as it's about a character that uses they/them or it/its or xe/xem is the lazy cowardly exorsexist way out. You can do better. Accept the challenge, or at least have the strength to admit you're choosing the coward's way out on purpose.

And no, saying that "using it/its pronouns in the 3rd person is just too difficult tho :(" is not an excuse, that's just an admission that you don't know how to write.

I wanted to make a cosmeresona too. 🥺

The satchel is inspired by girdle books. I like the idea of jamming a bunch of metal studs in to allow for an impromptu weapon.

(Also the "dot" is short for daughter. Maybe some gender shenanigans too.)

What are your pronouns?

#pronoun reveal soon (a little underwhelming) #I DSIJT MEAN TOS END THIS YET I THOUGHT IT WAS GOIFN TO DRAFTS #we have to commit. maybe delete later. #whats my ask tag i forgot im so flustered #ask tag #right. #i just remembered i speak in 3rd person weirdly often in my tags so if u do detective work u could probably find them #whagever. good luck

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

noooo you can let me describe the doctors body trust me i totally wont be weird about it this time

#me explaining why the doctor is hot: well theyre old enough to be my messiah so jot that down #also a body thats died many times #me opening the powerpoint: so before we begin hands up how many of you have spent more time than you should thinking abt jesus' body #church was like and this is body of christ and me being 7 and autistic took that in every way they DIDNT mean #anyway sorry yaz not sure what exactly the sin is here but im pretty sure uhhh it is one #its usually the master doing this #but yaz is taking the masters place in this fic so #that tracks i guess #gonna have to figure out how to take the pronouns out of this too #also look at the third person/second person flipflopping #i do that kind of a lot but i realised in this paragraph maybe thats because..........there isnt a third person imperative uhh mode? #is that a mode we call that idk #there ISNT a third person imperative right? thats just second person? #i think so #but its interesting bc thats like the main way my narration flipflops #idk if thats like bad. bad writer habit or whatever #if it is i dont really care #it doesnt bother ME so #idk if it bothers anyone else #one time i had a fun paragraph in the doctors pov where it went from its standard 3rd to 2nd to 1st. 1st plural i think #and then Back to 3rd distance yourself from yourself dont get too close #anyway

Actually you guys want to see something neat? I'd had a sense of this already but I'd never seen it quantified.

According to the World Atlas of Language Structures, in a survey of 378 different languages throughout the world, a whopping 254 have no gender distinction in pronouns. [source]

Even adding up all the variations on gendered pronoun structures, that's only 32% of languages in the study. And yet some people still want to act like "singular they" and neopronouns are the death of modern language.

#although it is interesting that Japanese is categorized as '3rd person only' because that's... not true? it has gendered 1st person pronouns #there's probably others that are miscategorized as well but I think the point still stands

The Absinthe Underground

YA La Belle Époque inspired gaslamp fantasy adventure

follows two girls steal posters to pay their rent, when they’re caught stealing one by the subject of the art: a woman who owns an exclusive underground club, who hires them to do a quest into Fae to steal some jewels that would free her

my gender is that i’m a cis woman but also don’t have a strong association with my gender BUT whenever some woman online goes “as women we all do this” or like any kind of version of that i always go “oh fuck please don’t lump me in with yall”

#it's valeriia talking #that is to say that my pronouns are i/me because i don’t think of myself in 3rd person and forget i can be perceived by other ppl

[compacflt]

okay here to pick ur mind…i know you’ve alluded to it throughout WWGTTAI and debriefing but do u think bottoming is something that i’ve struggled with throughout his relationship with mav-especially if he enjoyed it-bc it may have been “more gay” in his mind and therefore harder to excuse due to the inherent misogyny wrapped up in men’s homophobia? it’s something we’ve talked abt in my gender studies classes so i just wanted to know how you think your ice may have approached that due to the repression of his sexuality so throughly and for so long!

as always with questions like this there’s a diegetic (in-universe) answer and a non-diegetic (writing theory) answer so I’ll start with the diegetic answer (not tagging this as nsfw but obv refer to the subject matter & discretion advised):

he isn’t thinking about it. I mean, he has to think about the mechanics of it, because sure there’s a lot of prep work involved, but he’s not really thinking about what it means, because no one’s telling him to. He knows it’s “wrong” —but the whole thing is “wrong,” anyway! The fact that he’s doing anything with Maverick is already wrong... I think he categorizes things as “not-fucked-up” and “yes-fucked-up” in his head, and any form of non-societally-approved contact with another man is “yes-fucked-up,” and there’s not really a sliding scale. Which is why Maverick’s weird extended hug thing right when Ice leaves TOPGUN (ch.4? I forget) is like literally the biggest deal in the world to him. I think Maverick could’ve actually groped him and he would’ve responded the same way. It’s all fucked-up, in his head. No difference between hugging/kissing/fucking/being fucked; it's all the same. There are the rules, and then there’s breaking the rules—no gray area in Ice’s mind (though note, in turn, Maverick’s analysis of Ice bending the rules—there is a gray area, just an unacknowledged one). 

So, yeah, he isn’t really thinking about the implications of the specific act. Maybe he knows that he enjoys it, and that thinking about what it means that he enjoys it would ruin it, so he doesn’t think about it. Also, he’s operating under the unspoken assumption that there’s something “wrong” with Maverick and not with him, because remember that Maverick already confessed to engaging in same-sex acts in ch. 4. There’s something fundamentally “wrong” with Maverick, so anything Ice does automatically looks better in comparison, because (he thinks) his transgressions are isolated incidents, whereas Maverick’s are a known pattern—even if Ice’s “transgressions” amount to literally being fucked by another guy. Hey, well, at least I’m not as bad as rule-breaker Maverick, who does this all the time, apparently! 

In Ch. 8 I was kind of trying to harp on that fact with the use of the word “resentment” during Ice’s discussion of choice/free will—there is kind of a sense that Maverick did this to him against his will, as in, he wasn’t “yes-fucked-up” until he met Maverick/this whole FWB-situation started, and maybe there is some deep-seated resentment about the fact that he might have been “normal” if it weren’t for Maverick (he wouldn’t have been, but he doesn’t realize that). I was close to having him just say this outright in Ch. 8, but as I’ll talk about below, their relationship is already pretty toxic, and there were some lines of toxicity I didn’t want to cross explicitly.

As for the non-diegetic answer, AKA the reason I wrote it this way: I’m kind of hesitant to politicize sociosexual (esp. “hierarchical”) roles in fiction, because I feel like it’s an easy way to betray your own political biases (as a writer) towards male sexual roles—it’s just too slippery of a slope IMO. Especially once you introduce ranks and professional/financial power dynamic differences, I feel like it’s all-too easy to portray the relationship as incredibly and toxically sociopolitically unequal. Yeah, I guess it would make more sense for very-closeted Ice to top 100% of the time, but he’s already “hierarchically” above Maverick 100% of the time anyway—politically, professionally, financially, in terms of social respect, etc. I didn’t want their dynamic to be skewed all the way towards one character having all the social/external/traditionally masculine power, so I didn’t write it like that. That in and of itself is a political decision that betrays my beliefs about male sexuality, and might not make sense in-universe, with characters this repressed, but…I personally felt uncomfortable with the alternative.

I think I’ve explained this a couple times elsewhere, but I wanted Ice & Mav to be true equals in this fic, because it reflects the equality they achieve in canon— “You can be my wingman anytime” vs. “Bullshit, you can be mine.” They are canonically equals. And, yes, of course in a sexual relationship you can be “giver” or “taker” and still be “equal” with the other person, but—like, you see how it would be different, right? If you’re only ever the “giver,” in our society’s traditional understanding of gender roles, you have an insane amount of power over the other person, and I wanted Ice & Mav to be equals when they’re with each other. It’s why I was hesitant having like an actual D/S dynamic with them as well—and the lack of that dynamic is itself a plot point. Ice in ch. 8 rebels against what he thinks their dynamic is—namely, that Maverick always leads/gives the orders, and Ice always follows. He portrays himself as submissive in that moment (“I’ve never had a choice”), but in reality he has just as much control over this relationship as Maverick does—i.e. he is just as “dominant,” and wants it just as bad, he just can’t articulate that. Which is the point of his whole character arc. Their equality is the point, not the transgressiveness of the act itself.

Also related to his character arc is the passivity of the act of bottoming as well, which is maybe why it's "overrepresented" in the story (sorry coming back to add this graf after doing the tags already &then Having A Thought). Like if Ice's whole thing is following orders/not having a choice, which makes him a great naval officer but a deeply flawed and confused person, then it makes sense that his narrative focuses most on the following/passive act of "taking," not necessarily the more leading/active role of "giving." These are simplistic terms obv but hopefully you can see what I'm getting at.

#& i think honestly i rebelled so hard against the idea of ice stereoptypically ALWAYS topping/'giving' #that i maybe OVERrepresented him ‘taking’ in my writing #just bc it was like ‘oh ofc ice would top🙄’ so i wanted to do something different #which then turned into him bottoming all the time LMFAO that was NOT my goal #they are verses ok that’s what im trying to say here #bc at least with each other they need to be on an equal playing field #asks #edts notes #But thank you for the ask! most of this also stems from the fact that as a writer im just…bad at writing smut/ #characters talking about sex so i avoid it when i can & fade to black as much as possible #doesnt make me uncomfortable im just bad at it lol #especially in 3rd person (i usually write in 1st) #too many pronouns/name repetitions #and i abhor epithets & smut is the only time i use epithets to avoid overusing names #but my hatred of epithets > my desire to write smut so i don’t do it #which then leads to conundrums of clarity like this

my nana was looking at some pins my mum has on (she just put some more on her lanyard so she could be "a cool teacher" lmaooo) and as I walked to the living room all I here is my nana say "She/Her? what's that?" and I had to stop myself from bursting out laughing. but yeah anyway my nana called her "down with the LGBT" or something afterwards so I think she does know what it means

Hey yalls, guess who wrote a Danny Phantom one-shot (4k words) that I'm extremely proud of!!! Even if ya ain't into DP, I'd appreciate if you read it & dropped a kudos and commented, because I'm honestly in love with this so much!!!!

Focuses on a confrontation between Danny and Wesley Weston involving Danny's secret identity woooo~

Warning for; panic attacks, descriptions of inhuman appearances (Eldritch!Danny my beloved), & mentions of death!

It's the longest fic I've written to date (I thought a multichapter WIP I wrote in 2018 was longer. I was wrong. That was only 3.5k), and I'm thrilled at the outcome!!

I'm the kind of person who enjoys their own writing (and forgets what I've written after a few days), so when I read it over pre-posting, I was smiling and giggling the whole time. I even screamed from excitement at it (I was on call, and my friends gotta hear me freaking out as I read my own writing XD)!

So, yeah. I really hope you enjoy, because I sure as hell did!

#danny phantom #danny fenton #wesley weston #danny phantom fic #danny phantom fanfiction #dp fic #dp fanfic #dp fanfiction #danny phantom fandom #dp fandom #oh also it aint mentioned anywhere in the fic but Danny was written transmasc #didnt tag tho cuz i get annoyed when ppl tag something thats not brought up #yes i get characters (n real ppl duh) can exist without any mention/indication that they are trans #but as a trans person. when i search for trans character fics. i want at least some small mention of SOMETHING #adjusting a binder/stuffed bra or pulling at a shirt to hide it. trading of pronouns (even tho cis ppl do that too). adjusting their voice. #a brief mention about appointments or hormones. seeing a bottle for them on the bathroom counter or bedside table if u go to their house #just like. at least something small if you're gonna tag it. #... where was i going with this? #oh also Danny n Wes r both written as autistic. they never say they're autistic but they're both *clearly* written as such. #its more obvious with Wes cuz the fic is 3rd person limited following Wes but they both are written as such #also. this fic does not villfy or woobify autism. ppl are complex multifaceted individuals and having autism doesnt mean ur auto one-sided #ANYWAYS YEAH IM JUST REALLY PROUD ABOUT HOW THIS CAME OUT AND I LOVE IT A LOT PLZ READ IT B) #azzy grows

[hzrnvm]

the really hard part abt being trans, the part i didnt expect, is the fact that i've gotta nourish this whole new me that I suddenly started knowing exists. but it's hard not to feel like I. Like I almost am, or am becoming, what I am forced to be. bc the me that i'd be otherwise just doesn't get to be reminded that goddamn, she exists!

#pronouns are only 3rd person so it's not like I ever see it. no one irl knows. #it's hard!
