Okay so I've been eating your art for a few days? Weeks? Months? Ever since I found you through my Welcome Home hyperfixation help it has me in it's death grips and just, admiring all the details you put into your pieces?

Like, I can't tag every little detail I come across and like from what you post, because I would be too distracting from the contents of the post and my gushing and speculating derived from that alone, but I see and like them even if I don't say too much about it.

For instance, don't think I didn't see the grime at the edges of Frank's frown and mouth in your Lights Out AU post! It is such a small detail to notice, but it really sells the idea of the puppets becoming grimy, scruffy, and dirtier as time goes on and they are stuck in the dark with little to nothing to clean themselves. I feel like it is most noticeable with their hair, as my gosh do they all need a hair brush by the time we see the group interactions of the unlikely four, but I enjoy seeing their disheveled selves as they try to go through life in the dark. While I won't pick up on every little detail, the stuff I do see is really interesting a think about, that you didn't need to add it but you did because you enjoyed making it l, and it's pretty heartwarming in a way for me you know?

Anyways, as a fellow artist, it's both cool and concerning because I get the gist of how much time and energy it can take to make stuff! I enjoy and adore your art and thoughts a ton, just remember to take care of yourself and not to push too hard on yourself to make stuff! Stretch and drink water, etc etc etc, and remember there are always people who will like what you make, be it dragons, welcome home stuff, and oc thingies!

AH IM

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO NICE!!! MY STUNTED EMOTIONS CANT HANDLE IT!!!! no but seriously i had to take a break reading this to walk through my house and Simmer Down bc man... the reaction pic is accurate.... i made Several dying animal noises!

i'm beyond happy that the details are being Noticed and are Enjoyable! i like to include as many as i can (when i Think of them, which happens less often than i'd like). i rarely have it in me to scribble Full Things, so i try to make up for it with the little things! it seems to be working, yippee! and it Is fun to include them, yeah <3

you take care of yourself as well! actually, get some water as soon as you read this. All Of Ya's. im takin a hefty sip rn so you all better get hydrated with me. no diedrating on this blog no sirree!! but yes um thank you so much for the very kind ask! mentally i am printing it out and pinning it to my wall! i will be thinking about it every time i Add Little Details!

#also pls dont hold back in the tags on my account or others #they are Lifeblood <3 #plus i just like to hear other people's thoughts!!! and id love to hear What You See And Get Out Of It!#& who knows you might even inspire something #tagged comments can do wonders yk yk #you would not be distracting In The Least <3 #rambles from the bog #also i like that title... The Unlikely Four... i will be referring to that group as such from now on!#and i Will say... the grime on frank's mouth is Grime but its not exactly natural....#also hello! i dont think ive said that yet!#i recognize you from my notifs! you're one of the regulars whom i see and mentally tip my hat to whenever i catch sight of your icon #& i cannot help you. wh has me in its grip as well #none of us are getting out! yippee yahoo hawyee!

Got Mommy Issues? I wrote this poem about mine:

Elizabeth

You carried me for nine months, but

I carried myself longer

I carried myself farther

You gave me life

A life I didn’t want

So I cut the cord that bound me to you

It’s alright, you don’t have to apologize

I know you don’t know how to love me

My laughter tears through you like bullets

My ideals cut like knives

It’s alright

I’m at peace knowing that you and I never stood a chance

He’s poison, you know and he poisoned you

You’re doomed, but I don’t have to be

I have no love for you, but

I do have sympathy

It’s alright

#mommy issues #poetry #i think its incredibly healthy to recognize what our parents did for us while also recognizing the ways they failed us #fyp #tumblr fyp #i have mommy issues #the poison this poem refers to is my father #that heartbreaking moment when you realize your mom might have been able to accept you if not for your dads influence

english used to be the normie filter & how you could tell someone was a Trve Internethead but after the DAMNED 2020 quarantine for obvious reasons EveryBody & They Momma is acceptably fluent so now i have to learn swedish or something. -_-

#already been spending time this past year & a half i only need someone to actually speak it with IRL for maximum efficiency #technically i want to say 2019 people were already turning to english at least in my city. 7 year old me would be so happy but #ARRRRRRGHHHHHHH #YOU ARE POSERS I HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH YOU & I NEVER WILL. has me feeling so ♯DECEIVED #native english speakers will probably never understand this feel #speaking english now is just as cringe as i thought being francophone was a decade ago Yes even as a child i was against normies #i was forcibly taught.by my millennial older brother i had no choice but to abide by that line of thought & so here i am today #well he was right. not anymore he ain't but he used to be #but technically you can say this new wave of self taught anglophones are going against the current & remnants of colonialism so well #it is a good thing objectively i just miss the ease of recognizing Real back in the day TT_TT like you just KNEW they shared your interests #& weirdness they knew your references it said something about what their social status likely was too ETC ETC. But not anymore...#i enjoyed it tho i had a bestfriend whom i mostly spoke english with & we were known for it we were outcasts #i distinctly remember this fag who got so mad at us & harassed us for it during middle school recess. like fluency was a bad thing #we were not even gossiping about him Altho we should have been. & that was the best part is that it was a barrier #so you could talk about anything out loud & nobody would be able to understand you & at the time it was just us & our older siblings #+their friends

scaramouche actually respected the other harbingers ( and most of his associates in the fatui, for that matter ) so little he DELIBERATELY went out of his way not to learn most of their actual names.

#𝟎𝟎𝟒 : 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥. ◟ hc .◝#( brought this up in dms & i thought i should probably post this here )#( it ties into how names are so important to him. what name he uses for you depends on how he feels about you / how much he respects you. )#( it gets particularly absurd when you remember his memory is basically perfect )#( so he will either purposefully endeavor never to learn it or pretend that he doesn't recognize it )#( remembering a name is a right you need to earn in his eyes. being referred to by a name is a right you need to earn. )#( learning his name is a right you need to earn. )#( scaramouche rolling up to the banquet like ''wow i don't respect literally any of you people.'' )#( you're not an equal you're whatever rank you have and maaaybe he'll vaguely acknowledge your codename when it's convenient )#( anything else is a reward for good behavior. don't get used to it. )

Guys I made it, I'm a real writer, I got my first negative comment today 👍

Edit 5/8/23: It has come to my attention that the person who made these comments has been going to multiple warrior cats fanfic writers to request fics, in a similar vain to what he was doing here. Specifically, they seem to be fetish related stories. When a fic writer does not want to fulfill his request, he insults them, usually calling them a cur (lmao. lol)

I have reason to believe this person is @ville234 here on tumblr (although he may be using different blogs by now). A few months back he was sending asks and dms to writers, requesting fetish fics related to bondage and inappropriate pairings. He was called out for it. Another reason I suspect this is the same person is because of his blog header, multifandomfanatic95, which is exactly the same as the username for the ao3 commenter, except the numbers are different. Everyone please be wary of this person, at the very least on Archiveofourown. Minors should be especially careful because of the inappropriate content he asks for. I'm not asking for a witch hunt against him. Just that if he interacts with you, you report and block him.

#''you fandom deserting cur'' is sending meee 💀#my fic about warrior cats using warrior cats naming and ranking system and warrior code clearly makes me a fandom deserter #I'm clearly not a warrior cats writer because I don't write for canon /s #no but seriously at first I thought the dude just wasn't understanding my first couple explanations #because there's neroudivergent people like that #so I decided to be blunt with a no #because Im certain they were referring to real/canon warrior cats fics as opposed to my fanclans #I'm sure even if I'd said yes they would have called me a liar #also they blockef me after the last comment lmao so I couldn't reply unfortunately #but I was pretty clear about what I write with the first reply right? right??#plus my answer was a ''no for now''basically #also this fool has been reading my stories since the beginning of moon rise. I recognize their url from my kudos #at this point how do you NOT know I write warrior cats fanfiction?#not sotm #viti shoosh

Perhaps the funniest League of Legends character interaction that's also highly plausible in-universe, thematically appropriate and emotionally charged is Rell and Veigar teaming up.

They’re both extremely magically strong and skilled. Rell controls metal, a product of the earth from which she can directly rip ore. Veigar draws his celestial magic from the stars.

They both have dark, tragic backstories: because of their magical talent, they were taken into custody by powerful, corrupt Noxian authorities, isolated, abused and forced to use their magic harmfully for a long time, at least relative to their respective lives. This traumatized and broke them so much that they now see inflicting pain as the only thing they’re good at, even capable of. They have no friends. They've never known or have forgotten what it feels like to be loved, joyful or carefree. All they were left with once free was so much guilt and grief and so much power. From that, they have forged new identities - roles to play - built around singular, combative ambitions that they cannot imagine lives or futures beyond. Rell identifies as a gritty, edgy antihero, having noble intentions but using brutal, destructive and downright gruesome methods. Veigar identifies as a villain, but is good at heart despite not comprehending this himself.

They’re both currently roaming around the Noxian countryside in order to find and defeat as many powerful, corrupt Noxian authorities who mistreat people as they can. Rell does this to make the guilty pay for their crimes and liberate and protect the oppressed. Veigar does it to replace the authority and prove that his evil is greater and cooler than theirs, but in practice doesn’t really bother hurting anyone innocent and just ends up making the guilty pay for their crimes and liberating and protecting the oppressed.

They’re both connected to Mordekaiser, and would be primary enemies of him holding personal grudges if his plot about trying to dominate Runeterra is ever developed. Rell was such an important project for the Black Rose because they hoped that she would be able to defeat Mordekaiser. He embodies everything she stands against. Mordekaiser was Veigar’s captor and abuser, responsible for who he is today. Rell can manipulate metal; Veigar wields incredible cosmic magic; and Mordekaiser is a magical suit of armour, so if anyone can finish him off, it’s these two working together.

Rell is practical, pragmatic, cynical and consumed by bloodthirsty, vengeful rage. Veigar clings to and imitates an immature ideal of Villainy, fashioning his outfit after Mordekaiser’s stereotypical fantasy evil overlord aesthetic, his behaviour after all the most theatrical tropes that archetype can be associated with and having very dramatic and flashy magic, but inwardly lacks the cruelty (not to mention dignity) to back that presentation up.

They both want the Noxian people to respect them as a threat. Rell has wanted posters and become widely feared by the elite army less than a year since her escape. Veigar has been ‘conquering’ for centuries and is still not taken seriously.

Their respective magic colours are yellow and purple, and the rest of both of their colour palettes is grey, silver and black.

Everything about Rell is played completely straight. Almost everything about Veigar is played for comedy.

Rell could come across a village that Veigar has seized and accidentally benefitted, like Boleham in his story on the website, and try to challenge him. Or they could both arrive to kill the same tyrannical warlord at the same time. She realizes that he is a) really bad at being bad, b) just a silly little guy and c) an extremely useful asset to her quest.

So she directs him at the Black Rose and they go and utterly fuck Noxis up while helping the downtrodden. There's so much comedy to get out of their contrasting personalities and perspectives. Rell always acts like the protagonist of a grim, action-packed young adult dystopian series and Veigar is standing right next to her emanating campy children's cartoon villain energy; they both think the story is a different genre and the acting and tone should reflect that. This premise is hysterical with the proper execution.

But it isn't just funny! They can genuinely bond and learn, or in Veigar's case remember, what loving and being loved is, and begin to process their trauma and help each other cope with their C-PTSD and be kinder to themselves and have fun and become fulfilled. And then kill Mordekaiser, whose return is one of the subplots. And then live happy, safe, peaceful lives together, because they were never meant for all this violence.

Other subplots besides Mordekaiser include LeBlanc, Rell's mother and the Black Rose's operations; the wider Noxian politics they tie into; Samirah hunting Rell; Annie also wandering around Noxis causing trouble and eventually getting adopted by Rell as a little sister (they deserve it); maybe the story of a Yordle who knew Veigar before and thus can supply some of his backstory that he's forgotten, a 'normal Yordle' foil to him; and generally lots of Noxian and Yordle worldbuilding and lore.

While I'm talking about Veigar, here are my ideas for a redesign of him, because his design is... not that great:

As yordles are generally animalistic or at least furry, he strongly resembles a black cat, with gold eyes with slit pupils and a dark purple nose. Black cats are associated with the supernatural, magical arts and misfortune, they're bad omens to some, but they're also fluffy little babies. He is covered in fur. You want to scratch his checks. You want to kiss his little forehead. He's so adorable and he hates it. His large pointy ears, visible under the brim of his hat, move to signal his emotions for more expressive animation. They both have notches, which help him look pitiable and allude to his past as a prisoner and victim of abuse. He has big 'weathered street cat hissing and growling at you when you try to pet it because it's reflexively afraid of people and shows that through aggression' energy.

@ohnoitstbskyen's idea in his "What's the deal with Veigar?" video that Veigar's face (his cute kitty face!) is never fully in the shadow of his hat despite him trying to look mysterious and ominous is brilliant. He’s very lively, since he acts like a classic cartoon villain who’s so excited and gleeful about being evil, so he has a habit of jostling his hat or lifting his head to reveal his whole face and then hastily pulling the hat back down.

His robe no longer has the spiked metal hem and is of a soft, loose, flowing fabric. It’s dark indigo with silver sparkles all over it like he’s wearing the night sky, in homage to the stars he draws his power from. Except the beautiful pattern is interrupted and partly obscured by a leather belt - not spiked and black, a bolder and more ‘evil’ colour than brown and a Noxian colour - with a tasteless spiky silver buckle that clashes with the stars. I love what TB Skyen said about the armour and spikes working best as a parody of Mordekaiser’s aesthetic, so I want those aspects to look tacked on and out of place. To feel wrong. Inadvertently on Veigar’s part, but deliberately in a meta sense. Between the robe, his big purple wizard hat matching his nose that also makes his body look smaller and cuter and the black cat associations, you’ve got a perfectly good yordle celestial mage design; but the influence of Mordekaiser is intruding on it, corrupting it, even. That is the clear conflict of this design. While the robe is comfortable, the armour doesn’t appear to be. This impression is helped by it all being at least a little oversized, because Noxian armour doesn’t come in yordle size and therefore Veigar has cobbled his together out of scraps he scavenged (I mean, he STOLE, how wicked) and he isn’t really a great blacksmith. His boots aren’t clown shoes or anything, but they’re big enough that his attempt at an imposing villainous stride is awkwardly clunky. They could have black leather straps on them to hold them tighter than their metal fasteners will allow. His spiked pauldrons were cut out of human ones and still jut out too much, one of them having an irregular shape that gives him a dash of Noxian asymmetry and marks him further as a flawed imitation of a fantasy supervillain. The message that he’s incompetent at something and did it anyway out of passion, perhaps not even realizing his mistakes or at least too proud to acknowledge them, makes him come across as comedic and yet an endearingly earnest, hardworking underdog, and adds to the surprise of his genuine incredible cosmic power - he couldn’t learn to smith properly before forging his own armour, but he can command the energy of the stars to smite you? Yeah. That’s Veigar. There’s one silver ring around the base of his hat that has five spikes on it, thick, long and evenly positioned so that from above, they form a star shape. Specifically, an inverted star with one spike pointing directly forward. Symbolism! His belt buckle could also be an inverted star to establish that as a motif of his; it’s spiky, but more personal and iconic than just spikes themselves.

Moving onto Rell... she has her sigils. I don't know why she doesn't in her model or artwork, they're such a crucial part of her character design! Her biography and short story both bring them up. There are even bare sections of her arms, which would only make sense if her sigils were visible in them because it's impractical and she's so averse to vulnerability, but the sigils are missing? What? Why, Riot? So yeah, in my redesign she has sigils right down both her arms. A few more recent ones are on her back (symbolic of her betrayal by her family, the Black Rose and the government). They're always hidden, even in her lighter armour on horseback, as she's deeply uncomfortable around the concept of being exposed and seeing them herself. We and Veigar only see them in dramatic character exploration scenes when a) she feels safe enough to take her armour off, b) she needs to due to injury or to hide her identity or c) someone else damages or removes her armour. Taking TB Skyen's advice again, her outer armour and therefore horse are spikier and less polished and regular, products of her undiluted heartbroken rage in the moment she destroyed the academy. They're highly distinctive, almost organic-feeling and definitely don't look like the work of a smith.

#i NEED this dynamic do you understand me?#almost everyone recognizes rell on sight or when she uses her magic and reacts with fear and awe #and veigar always gets something like *blank stare* '...who are you?'#'oh god it's the iron maiden! and... a little furry magician?'#'wow rell you got a pet?'#and he goes ballistic and whines and stamps his little foot #he insists that he has the title 'veigar the terrible' even though nobody ever calls him that except to humour him #rell even says it to cheer him up once they have a solid rapport #after seeing veigar evolve from bad at being bad to good at being good she eventually asks #'why do you think you're evil? because evil is about hurting people who don't deserve it and you only seem to hurt people who do'#and he gets all broody - not in a funny way this time legitimately serious - and says in a truly broken haunted voice #'you know nothing of my deeds. i have done Terrible things and so i will always be veigar the terrible'#referring to what mordekaiser made him do during his imprisonment #and instead of sounding silly like every time before it's like 'oh. oh. he Hates Himself'#and rell says thinking of her fights with other kids that led to them being nullified #'yeah but i was made to do some terrible things too and that doesn't make me rell the terrible... does it?'#and her voice cracks and her eyes well up and she's sixteen #and suddenly the wacky buddy vigilante sitcom adventure is two survivors of abuse believing themselves to be unlovable #do you see my vision? DO YOU SEE IT?#title idea is 'terrors of noxis'#rell #lol rell #veigar #lol veigar #noxis #league of legends #legends of runeterra #runeterra

I finally got up the nerve to ask my spanish professor if I could use the nonbinary pronoun elle in class and I was worried the answer would be no since it's not an official pronoun, but he said yes! I got to use the correct gendered words for myself on my test today, and I didn't know just how much gender euphoria writing out the phrase "cuando era niñe" and ending my adjectives with -e was gonna give me but I'm gonna be happy for the whole rest of the day now. I'm also glad bc like... now if any other nonbinary students want to use a pronoun that matches their gender in their spanish class it should be easier for them. I've already done the hard part of coming out to my professor at a community college in the bible belt, explaining the movement for a gender neutral spanish pronoun to him, and providing him with resources from a spanish LGBT organization. And I let my pride club know what he said so now if any other students ask the organizer about using nonbinary pronouns in their spanish class she'll be able to tell them that the prof is okay with it 💛

#rambling #i just keep repeating the phrase 'cuando era niñe' in my head #no era niña o niño. era niñe <3 #ive used the elle pronoun in online spaces already but like. for one thing im not involved in a lot of spanish spaces online #and for another thing theres a difference between referring to myself with a pronoun on the internet #and getting to refer to myself with a pronoun in real life in my class and have it recognized as correct by my professor #its very gender affirming #tbh the euphoria im getting from using elle for myself in spanish is making me consider using a neopronoun in english even more #like. they pronouns dont exactly give me gender euphoria. its more like the absence of dysphoria #i only ever really notice if someone gets it wrong. if they get it right my brain just interprets it as normal and glides right over it #and i think it may be bc they isnt specifically a nonbinary pronoun? its just gender neutral #same with all the words that describe me in english. kid/sibling/partner/etc. theyre all gender neutral #they dont tell you much about what my gender IS. they just avoid gendering me #which is correct! i generally do not want to be gendered #and i do notice and appreciate when my family uses gender neutral words to talk about me now #bc its a welcome change from the previous daughter/sister/etc and tbh gendered words give me more dysphoria than gendered pronouns #but when it comes to pronouns specifically... maybe i might. want? gendered pronouns?#ones that at least when theyre used in lgbt spaces would communicate not just 'this person has a vague gender'#but 'this person is specifically nonbinary'?#ive been eyeing e/em pronouns for a while and tbh i think it would be cool to use that pronoun set #bc it would match with the first letter of my name AND the pronoun i use in spanish #i think i might bring it up to my partner and friends to see if they can help me try it out #i dont think i would get rid of my they pronouns but maybe i would use they/them publicly and e/em privately #my business pronouns and my party pronouns

while mutt does sometimes inspire parental feelings, usually in people who already are parents, as far as fond relationships go, he's more likely to give off the energy of a little brother, a cool young cousin, an apprentice/mentee, or simply that kid you have an intergenerational friendship and rapport with. his general attitude/bearing and fierce independence has something to do with it -- he doesn't act in a way that suggests he particularly needs or wants someone to feel that way about him.

#add weirdo in front of all of those it’s important his weird kid status isn’t lost #he is more likely going to give ur badass lil cousin with a silver tooth in the back of his mouth #and little brother is funny. he will end up big brothering you. thats just how he works.#'but you use dad/mom/son so often' yeah and i stand by that! for the bit!#of course he’s been referred to as son but thats just what older people sometimes call him - he's Not a fan #u gotta be soooo important to him for him to allow u to call him terms of endearment like that ... i digress #found family can be many things i wish ppl would recognize it isn’t just applying Nuclear Family Labels #and putting them in boxes based on how you perceive how those people would act in a family unit #i.e. which one is the mom the dad the two and half kids #i know it ain't that serious but cmon #those tweets that say ‘work will have you 17 years old with a 56 year old best friend like dang where tf mr otis at today 😭’ mutt!#hc.

hmm

#nonsims #been thinking of the support group that starts this sunday #in a way my brains are all 'you don't need to go if it makes you uncomfortable!!! you can just stay home!!! that would be sooo comfy!!!'#but at the same time i recognize that stepping out of my comfort zone might be very good in this particular case #not that i haven't been out of my comfort zone all my life lol #i just know that i need Something that feels real and important in my life #i need to build myself some kind of a life where i will still have things to live for if/when i lose the most important people in my life #and you know what. i counted the social things i've done independently as an adult #like sure my bf's friends visit us a few times a year #but for me those visits are 100% tied to my bf and i would never see those people without him cos they're HIS friends #i do always refer to them as our friends but the reality is that i would never hear from them again if me and the bf split up #so i counted the stuff i've done independently (school or work or hanging out with mom/grandma/bf not included)#i've had dinner with my coworkers TWICE (i didn't want to go but i didn't dare stand out by not going)#i've been to a bar with my work partner ONCE (after one of those dinners)#i see my BFF 2-3 times PER YEAR #that's it. that's my independent social life for AT LEAST the last 12 years #so you know if i were to go to the support group and attend all 11 meetings...#that would be like the biggest social thing for me in my whole adult life #and it's so funny cos it's an AUTISM support group!!! my biggest social thing would be an autism support group!!!#so i'm trying to get into this mindset that i'll go at least this first time to see what it's like

Eventually going to have to go on a rant about how people now think reading through everyone's carrds or about pages or even just descriptions before every minor interaction is normal. It is not. Don't expect that of people

An adult reblogging the post of a minor that has "30+ year olds dni" in their bio is not "being weird around minors". Someone using they/them to refer to the op of a random post they've seen and do not plan on interacting with them again is not misgendering. (Yes you can misgender with they/them pronouns but it's literally not being used to misgender someone if referring to a stranger whose pronouns you don't know). A shipper visiting someone's blog and reblogging a few of their fandom posts without reading their carrd and finding out they say "dni if you like this ship" isn't harassment!

I am not anti DNI, I'm not anti telling a bit about yourself in carrds, I'm not anti establishing boundaries. I'm against the idea that you have to familiarize yourself with thousands of different strangers before you interact with them once or twice. This is not a new problem, but it's a worsening problem. Years ago I got accused of misgendering someone by using they/them for them (it was like 5 years ago I don't remember their pronouns anymore, hence they/them. Incredible how it remains a gender neutral pronoun and not an act of anti trans violence like that). They said their pronouns was on their page. I clicked on it and there were no pronouns. Just a link to an about page that didn't work on mobile (I did not have computer access). And yet I was blamed for not using information not easily made accessible to me

I have plenty of times SEEN people get upset at adults making harmless replies on posts because their bio says "adults dni". I absolutely believe in respecting boundaries, but this is social media. Not respecting boundaries is harassing you. Not respecting a soft block. Trying to evade a hard block. Being directly told their behavior is uncomfortable and refusing to listen to it. NOT a stranger interacting with a post. You may not EXPECT it to leave your circle of friends, but it can. The point of social media is to share posts with others. People do not need your whole backstory before they engage with it

Just like. Remember that while people CAN choose to take a few minutes to read about every person on tumblr, it's ridiculous to expect them to. People using social media as intended is not harassment

#adding on to the misgendering thing: once again yes they/them can be used to misgender #I've seen it used to misgender tons of it/its users! they get the worst of it!#but referring to a blog and saying they/them once or twice isn't bad #if they say 'hey actually i use he/him' to you and you DON'T start using he/him. yes that's misgendering #but if they don't. it's fine #now if talking about that person becomes frequent. learn their pronouns lol #i used they/them for plenty of people who bothered me #then they kept bothering me REPEATEDLY and i talked about them more #so i checked their pronouns so i could use their exact ones now that i spoke about them more frequently #when something is no longer in passing. then learn pronouns. before that just using they/them is normal #it's what people fought for for SO long to be recognized as the default. and now people are fighting against it #I've been misgendered. ACTUALLY MISGENDERED. called he/him. for not having my pronouns in bio on various websites #they said if i didn't want to be called that i should have put my pronouns in bio so there was no assumption #it's supposed to be the gender neutral pronouns when you don't know someone's pronouns. that's why i don't always #put them in my bio. because if you don't know you use they/them. and surprise! those are my pronouns anyway #it would theoretically work out. but it doesn't. because people are DESPERATE to misgender people #i guarantee you 98% of the time when someone refers to someone else in passing with they/them pronouns it's out of respect #bc the people who don't care about respect will literally just say he/him for strangers instead
