Neopronouns are not a “tumblr fad”. Gender neutral pronouns other than they/them have existed in the English language for actual centuries. They are not harmful to the trans community.

To those who are against neopronouns, you’re acting against the evolution of a language and acting against something that’s been around for far longer than you’ve been alive.

To those who use neopronouns, your pronouns are not harmful. You do not deserve to be made to feel ashamed for your pronouns.

I found these doing very minimal research:

Ey/Em/Eir (1975, created by Christine M. Elverson) E/Em/Es (1890, created by James Rogers) Per/Pers/Perself (1976, Used in a novel by Marge Piercy) Thon/Thos/Thonself (1858, Created by Charles Crozat Converse) Ve dates back to 1980 Xe dates back to 1973 In 1789, William Marshall confirmed the use of both“a” and “ou” as a replacement for he/she/they and even i. Co/Coself (1970, created by Mary Orovan) Ne (1850, appeared in print in 1884) En (1868, mentioned by Richard Grant White) Han/Hans/Hanself (1868) Un/Uns/One (1868) Se/Sis/Sim (1884) Hesh/Hiser/Himer (1879) Hi/Hes/Hem (1884) Le/Lis/Lim (1884) Hersh/Herm (1884) Ip/Ips (1884) Hae/Haes(Hais)/Haim (1884) Tha/Thare/Them(Thon) (1885) Zyhe/Zyhe’s/Zyhem (1885) Ir/Iro/Im (1888) De/Der/Dem (1888) Hor/Hors/Horself (1890) Ith/Iths (1890) Sources for these as well as many others that I didn’t add due to the list getting too long can be found here. [[Unfortunately, the original link is broken, and no version available on the web archive :( ]] An interesting note is that in the modern language a lot more people use neopronouns then you would expect! Yo is a majorly African American pronoun coined in 2004 and used by Middle School students In Baltimore, Maryland. Fae/Faer, coined in 2014, is used by 4.3% of participants in the 2019 Gender Census. Plus a vast variety of newly coined pronouns that you will have seen commonly floating around! Neopronouns have existed and been recorded for a long time, they are not a new concept, nor are they MOGAI or a tumblr concept. They are not modern, there have just been many modern adaptions to already existing pronouns.

As another addition from me, Ae/aer pronouns are from 1920, from the scifi/philosophy/??? book, A Voyage to Arcturus, by David Linsey.

I’M SO SORRY TAL I HAVEN’T DRAWN YOU SINCE 2021,,, as an apology. They get to be pretty (and also pronoun update! Ve/per/they!)

Hey. PSA. Neopronouns users. Google your pronouns before committing to them. Just in case. The chance of your shiny new pronoun being a curseword in another language is low but never zero.

Know Your Neopronouns

If you look around online, you can find lists of neopronouns. (Neopronouns are words that get can be used instead of 'he' or 'she' when refering to someone.) Most show just the first 2 terms (‘Ey/Em,’ or ‘Ze/Zim’). Few provide any info about how to pronounce them. And even less provide examples of how messy real usage is. This guide is an attempt to show how real people are using neopronouns. It’s based off the data of the 2020-2023 (Nonbinary) Gender Censuses.

-

English Pronoun Sets include:

Subject (the person acting) – ie. They

Object (the person the action is happening to) – ie. Them

Dependent Possessive (ownership, thing owned is named) - ie. Their

Independent Possessive (ownership, thing owned is not named) – ie. Theirs

Reflexive (action affecting the person who is acting) – ie. Themself

In a sentence:

They walked in and told me their name was Chris. I said hi, and showed them the name tags. They found theirs and put it on themself.

-

Neopronouns come in 3 flavours:

The first type is based off the most common English personal pronouns:

‘They/Them/Their/Theirs/Themself (or Themselves)’

‘He/Him/His/His/Himself’

‘She/Her/Her/Hers/Herself’

This type of neopronoun usually mimics the ending sounds of one or more of the common pronoun sets. For example, ‘Ze/Zem’ pronouns are based on ‘he’ and ‘them.’

The second type includes pronouns not usually used as personal pronouns (like indefinite ('One'), neuter ('It'), or definite (‘that’)). It also includes neopronouns derived from them ('Thon').

The third type is based on various nouns not usually considered related to gender at all ('Star' or 'Pup'). These are called ‘nounself pronouns.’

-

I’ve listed both the common pronouns, as well as the most used neopronouns. For each entry, I include a variety of forms and spellings. I do my best to provide pronunciation. (I have not heard all of them pronounced, and what little I was able to find online might not match what real people are saying.) And I mention if they mimic feminine or masculine pronouns, singular they, indefinite pronouns, nouns, etc.

A note on defining sets:

Deciding what to consider a variant, and what to consider a different set altogether, wasn't easy.

Elverson and Spivak pronouns are mostly separated because of their history, and how (relatively) well known they are. I then tried to stay consistent, and separated things like 'ze' and 'zey' sets.

Animal and sound based nounself pronouns are grouped based on how difficult it was to separate them. A relatively high percentage of people wrote 'kit' and 'cat' forms into the same entry. Less people grouped 'mew' and 'nya' forms. And, while 'mew' and 'nya' forms were FREQUENTLY grouped with 'kit' and 'cat' forms, I kept them separate for my own sanity.

I am also VERY glad that 'sie/sier' pronouns didn't make the top 25. 'Sie', 'se', 'sea', 'ce', and 'ke' are probably unsortable without talking to their users individually. (There's at least three pronunciations in there - 'zee', see' and 'kee'!) But I love the 4 people using 'sir' as a pronoun. That amuses me!

neopronouns i think the characters of good omens would use with little to no explanation

(format is he/him/his/his/himself, she/her/her/hers/herself, they/them/their/theirs/themself)

Aziraphale: ae/aer/aer/aers/aerself ael/ael/aels/aels/aelself ('ael' or 'iel' is a french neutral pronoun, but reminds me of the -el suffix in angel names) thon/thon/thons/thon's/thonself honourable mention: ga/votte/vottes/vottes/gavotteself

Crowley: ey/em/eir/eirs/eirself (crowl-ey, guys) ne/nem/nir/nirs/nemself si/sin/sins/sins/sinself honourable mention: hiss/hiss/hisself

Gabriel: fo/for/feir/fors/foself (based on the fo/feir/foself pronoun set from "fortis" meaning strength and gabriel's name meaning "god is my strength") hi/hem/hir/hirs/hirself

Beelzebub: ze/zem/zir/zirs/zirself xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xyrself (anything with the buzzing noise rlly, extra points if ze is spelt like zzze/zzzem to emphasise that)

Muriel: per/per/per/pers/perself (when pretending to be a Human Police Officer, to emphasise the fact that they're a Person) pep/pip/pips/peps/pepself

Shax: di/div/divs/divs/divself dae/daem/daer/daers/daemself (both of these express individuality, plus the dae- prefix which demon came from)

[wainwrightjakobshammerlock]

the (organic and material) sophont species of the three planes (left to right: human male, human female, cethelan, serthan female, serthan male), at their "average" heights and morphologies and in "planar" order. very long and mildly incoherent ramble under cut if you want to know more

Humans

Scientific name: Homo sapiens sapiens Main social unit: family (group of a highly variable number of humans, usually headed by a pair or several pairs of humans, plus their children and siblings) Individual noun: person (plural: people) Common group nouns: gang, pack, circle, discipline Average lifespan: 70-80 years

The sapient species of the Upper Plane, also known as Anahita. Although height-, magical aptitude- and physical durability-wise they could be considered "average", they are pack-hunting persistence predators, and this is absolutely reflected in how they act. The prevailing stereotype is that a pissed off human will hunt you down to the ends of the universe. No matter how many limbs you manage to remove from their body or how much you escape, you will not be able to escape their wrath. They love eating and drinking things that would be considered poison for other sophonts (or even then), especially pastry, which they appear to have a species-wide obsession with, and alcohol (but that's more understandable - anything with an organic nervous and digestive system can get drunk). Humans exhibit sexual dimorphism, but it's very minor and notoriously inconsistent. This is not even mentioning their concepts of gender, which is a total mess and varies not just from culture to culture or city to city, but person to person.

Cethelans

Scientific name: Ct'iniuo alam'chhoth sapiens Main social unit: school (group of usually blood related, but not always, cethelans of similar age; traditionally, a school lives in the same place, travels together, and groups of schools form clans which are analogous to human clans) Individual noun: skleph (plural: sklephit) Common group nouns: squad, club, class, gurgle Average lifespan: 60-70 years

The sapient species of the Middle Plane, also known as Shugg. Very tall, with three pairs of limbs and one eye, as well as blue blood, and a system of internal shells in place of a typical endoskeleton. Their heads sport 2 sets of external gills, with the upper ones adapted for breathing in air and the lower ones for catching it in water. Don't be scared by the facial tentacles - they're mostly vestigial, but still come in handy sometimes as they are fully prehensile, and a big indicator of mood. Their nervous systems are quite decentralized, which also means their meridians are more decentralized and their node is smaller, contributing to a lowered spir capacity but greater capability for channeling it cleanly and quickly. Cethelans are monoecious*, meaning each individual simultaneously has male and female reproductive organs (both contained in an ovipositor/abdomen-like organ, here covered by underwear for obvious reasons). As such, they do not possess "gender" in a human or serthan sense*, so most use "pe/per/pers/perself" pronouns in Triadic*. They can also regenerate lost limbs, but only if the limb is treated quickly enough. Otherwise, they are quite physically frail and do not have the essentially infinite stamina of humans - their hunting strategy is to color and shape-shift their skin* and lie in wait, stealthed. Cethelans are carnivores, but definitely not obligate ones, and can even consume certain minerals (not just salt). A lot of their cuisine is based around different kinds of protein, which to them is a cavalcade of flavors, plus tasty rocks for spice and a bit of bitter plantlife (which also comes in many varieties, as cethelans are adepts of domestication to the point of some considering it biotechnology).

Serthans

Scientific name: Szed-rod-kao kikdedi sapiens Main social unit: herd (group led by a singular dominant female, sometimes called a "matron", as well as her "harem" of males, her adult daughters, sometimes also the harems of a few of said daughters, plus younglings and larvae) Individual noun: kit (ki-aqik) Common group nouns: fold, hive, flock, corral Average lifespan: 100-110 years

The sapient species of the Lower Plane, also known as Uku. Shortest of the sophonts, longest lived, with yellowish translucent blood. Despite appearing similar to Anahitan mammals, they are not made of anywhere near the "same stuff", with their fur actually being made of chitin, peculiar internal anatomy, and a strange life cycle involving pouches and "walking eggs" (the aforementioned larvae). Serthans also exhibit visible sexual dimorphism, with females having horns, large manes, pouches, thick furred tails and downturned ears while males are shorter, have significantly longer facial and forehead antennae, upturned ears, naked tails and colorful spotty markings. Their eyes usually look as if they were closed, but in reality their eyes just small and often squinting, especially in bright light - serthan ancestors were partially subterranean. They are also the most physically durable species, thanks to thick skin and fur, but they are also slow and not very agile. Magic aptitude wise, serthans have a very sizable spir capacity, but the aforementioned thick skin and fur make it difficult to efficiently channel it. Of course, this rarely comes up, as magic is considered evil or at least inappropriate to perform yourself in many serthan cultures. Serthans are primarily herbivorous, but especially like fruit, honey, honeydew and similar sweet substances.

And now, the asterisks:

I am using "monoecious" here even though it's not technically accurate, as the alternative would be using a word that starts with H and is often considered a slur against intersex people, therefore I am not comfortable using it.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN CETHELANS ARE "BIOLOGICALLY NONBINARY". THEY JUST... ARE. LIKE SNAILS.

Not really, since actual Triadic is its own thing (a constructed language used as the lingua franca of the Tri-City), but, yknow, the translation convention applies, so I'm talking about it as if it was English, sorta like Common in DnD.

[hatchetfield-ocs]

Hi there! Thank you so much for running this blog, I'd love to take a moment to introduce my own Hatchetfield OC "Tavie"

Full name: Octavia Quinn Coda Pronouns: pe/per/pers/perself

Octavia Quinn Coda is from the Forever & Always timeline and began life as one of many Paul clones kept in CCRP's basement. Specifically, per number was 85, which served as the basis for per new name - not only giving tavie the prefixes oct- (8) and quin- (5), but also giving per a great excuse whenever someone points out per tattoo. per last name "coda" is meant to signify finality, like the coda of a piece of music, labeling per the 85th and final paul clone manufactured at CCRP.

Tavie was created after the events of Forever & Always and is actually a clone of Paul 23 (when 23 escaped he destroyed as much of the facility as possible, so a new DNA sample had to be gathered once the machines were running again months later). Tavie similarly escaped captivity after per creation, but rather than seek out the original Paul in an attempt to replace him and take on his life, Tavie wanted to distance perself from Paul as much as possible. When pe was finally allowed to view perself as a full person rather than being seen as a tool and a double, pe came to the realization that pe is nonbinary, and per true identity as octavia quinn allowed per even more safety as per resemblance to paul would more likely be attributed to being a sister or cousin.

Tavie also enjoys dyeing per hair on like a ramona flowers level of frequency so I redid the intro art with a few different hair colors

i'm currently working on a long fic set in the world of forever & always which will include tavie at some point but i've been busy lately so it might be a bit before we get to see tavie interact with other characters

forever & always is my favorite hatchetfield story (i could talk about the implications for hours lmao) and i think there's so many more interesting things we could get from that timeline but likely will never see in canon bc it's such a tangential story in the massive hatchetfield multiverse, but that makes it perfect to imagine fic in. plus as a nonbinary person i've always been fascinated by trans readings of clone/artificial double storylines. the idea of being made in the exact image of someone else by someone who assumes they know who you are and yet still risking everything to forge your own identity is just inherently transcoded imo so the phrase "paul clone that's trans" is immediately appealing to me and i'm excited to introduce this idea into the fandom!

Welcome Tavie!
