#i don’t use pronouns

[plusreaderswhenever]

I know learning how to not use pronouns is tricky, even I have trouble with it!

Despite how difficult it is to get used to, not only can it can be done, but adjusted to not make the flow and rhyme of songs and poems awkward!

I don’t expect you to ever figure this out without getting stuck sometimes, it’s like learning grammar in third grade again, or in a new language. It takes a lot of patience and mistakes to become fluent, and longer to use it in music or poetry, but I’m cheering you on!

To prove it, here’s a version of Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn? by Evelyn Evelyn without the sister’s pronouns! (My attempt, anyway. This could probably be improved upon if I had some more experience, haha. /lh)

Of course, this isn’t intended to replace the original. It’s not like you have to sing this version forever now!

Have you seen my sister, Evelyn?

Who’s dang gone and wandered off again!

I've been lookin' high and low

Where oh where'd my sister go?

Who’s been known to spend some time

With a sailor friend of mine

I called him up and what'd he say?

"I ain't seen that girl today!"

So if you see my sister Evelyn

Tell that girl to hurry home again!

Where oh where'd my sister Evelyn go?

Maybe with the doctor? Or the plumber?

Or the dentist? Or the handyman?

Maybe gone to India? Or Africa?

Or Wichita? Or Pakistan?

Did sis’ go and join the navy?

Or go completely crazy?

Or perhaps playin' a trick on me?

Did ev’ run off with the farmer? The professor?

Or the banker? Or the clergyman?

Is it possible ditzy could be in Timbuktu? Or Katmandu?

Or Vegas? Or Uzbekistan?

Maybe learning how to do, do

The Chattanooga Choo Choo?

Oh, golly, where could that girl be?

Have you seen my sister, Evelyn?

Who’s dang gone and wandered off again!

I've been lookin' high and low

Where oh where'd my sister go?

Who’s been known to jump the train

With a gal we know from down the lane

I looked her up and what'd she say?

"I ain't seen that girl in days!"

So if you see my sister Evelyn

Tell that girl to hurry home again!

Where, oh where'd my sister Evelyn go?

Is my floozy sister with the doctor? Or the drummer?

Or the dentist? Or the handyman?

Did that ho-bag quit that job and run off with that dickhead Mike to

India or Guantanamo?

Or Panama? Or Disneyland?

Maybe studyin' Kabala? Could’ve won a million dollars?

Or is sis’ dead in a ditch somewhere?

So if you see my sister Evelyn

Tell that girl to hurry home again!

Where oh where

Where oh where

Where oh where

Where oh where

Where oh where'd my sister Evelyn go?

Hopefully it’s helpful!

“queer people need to get WEIRDER-” you can’t even handle genderfluid people

people who refer to their favorite characters with pronouns that deviate from what said character uses in canon are stronger than any us marine

I feel like Dewey would make a Tumblr blog that's just full of pictures of bugs. Mostly normal bugs but also some random Hollow Knight bugs every so often.

Hahahaha I can see that. It would be 30% some cool image of a bug online, 60% of a really bad image quality bug photo he definitely took outside, and then 10% of random Hollow Knight bugs.

Eddie, posting to Tiktok: Hey guys. Sorry about Steve tinfoil-hatting the background. We overheard someone talking about an NDA at dinner and now he thinks the FBI is going to kill us.

Steve: They were talking about someone breaking an NDA on the phone. Who (1) has an NDA and (2) breaks it? You! All the time.

Eddie: Baby, sweetheart. Steve! They sounded like a lawyer. A bad one in cheap ass shoes.

Steve: You don’t know what lawyers talk about! And did you see them? Bad hair, bad clothes, looks like they’ve never seen the fucking sun? That’s the fucking CIA, man.

Eddie, not winning this one: …Okay. Well. I’m going to put this on the internet. Then if we turn up dead, you can be vindicated.

Steve: That’s actually a good idea. Post it twice.

Their FBI agent watching this video as they come back from lunch: …Oh. Shit.

(guy who sent in the original i thought you were a lesbian ask) i just wanted to say i still find you just as attractive with the knowledge that you are a man, apologies if i made you feel uncomfortable or like you're less handsome for not being a hot butch. you're still plenty hot regardless and i'm sorry for inflicting tony hawk's sapphic nightmare on you

Tony Hawk’s Sapphic Nightmare is very funny, I would photoshop something if I could right now. Thank you.

I like how I gave Frida two flags when she only needed one, meanwhile David has to squish both flags together. To be fair, it’s just like Frida to be incredibly organised and bring multiple back up flags, and for David to panic and not do that.

Haven’t seen it mentioned but the last exhortation by Zathuda to Fearne (“burn what thy will burn and take what thou wilt from the ashes”) uses the familiar thou. Although it gets coded as stuffy and old-fashioned now, thou/thee was the historical informal English pronoun, the equivalent of tú in tú/usted dichotomy or du in du/Sie. He’s getting linguistically informal, as if they finally know each other.

Reminder that Dreamtale Twins are canonically sexless beings who identify with male pronouns.

yk what that means troops~💫

Xenogender and neopronouns are such a non issue for me, like it really has no impact on my life whatsoever if a 15 year old in some other corner of the globe identifies as vampire gender or whatever else. I have shit to do with my life. I don’t care what pronouns are “valid” or not. It sounds like it’s really not my problem

I love my doll mutuals with cool pronouns

[topperflop]

i can’t resist stupid ship charts

Not cis, not trans, but a secret third thing

people can Famously do whatever they want especially when it comes to enjoying media and generally i find this to be a good thing. but unfortunately i am a strange and unusual autistic that generally sticks very very close to canon. all this to say i don’t Get It when people headcanon k_k deltarune as using they/them Only or even she/her Only when he has literally been referred to with ‘he’ by one of the people presumably closest to him(brothers to me)

for the record i think he is he/they. i think all three of them are he/they. maybe even canonically but people fight me on this one (really just capn and kk since sweet has only indirectly been referred to as they like in the following screenshot from the wiki (bc I didn’t want to watch a video of their fight to screenshot and crop flavor text) BUT they’re still called by generally masculine terms alongside the other two like ‘guys’ (ost “almost to the guys”) and ‘young men’ (by seam)) (and they use overly-masculine self-referential pronouns in japanese, along with capn)

like im Fairly Certain the individual of scc are still the only one being lost in the groove in dance x. the “they” in ‘they’re totally lost in the groove’ is still Just One of scc. I don’t believe the fun gang are lost in the groove bc honestly they don’t talk like any of this fight was fun for them HSHSHDNDHDJDJ

also incase it isn’t clear i think it’s chill to add on she/her to k_k’s pronouns. people can famously do whatever they want especially when it comes to enjoying media and generally I think this is good. but saying they use she/her (or they/them) ONLY and not In Conjunction With is where I go “well. no. the game called him he. so he/him has to be part of their pronouns?” and i recognize it’s probably petty and stupid to care about to like any degree but know I don’t say this with hate in my heart

and of course there’s nuance like maybe the idea is they Change their pronouns later on but idk no one ever says this

“gender is a social construct” okay so why are you bullying people using neopronouns 🤨
