#pronouns: they

[realmythsmoved]

@escapedartgeek continued from here

This was one of the rougher few projects Zora had been dealing with for a while. The stress and to have gone through all that much work just for these clients not to appreciate it at all was enough for them to feel a ... deep irritation. It was a wonder that they hadn't done anything to get back at those who had so willfully wasted their times. [well.. nothing too major. yet.] In the meantime, they had spoke to Farryn just to be able to get this off their chest. "Yeah, it's been really irritating. Like I wish people wouldn't put me through so much time and energy just to be so awful towards what I made. You don't have to like it but not to appreciate the fact that they specifically requested my style, my approach to work and .. it's like this was a total waste all around. I hate this."

"Yeah, it sounds like it." Farryn says with a small, kind smile in their friend's direction. "I don't blame you for hating it. I would too if I put a lot of effort and time into something, only to be told it's not good enough." They pause. "Like you said, they didn't have to like it, but they should have appreciated that they asked you to do it, not someone else. To not even appreciate that is so wrong. They could have at the very least understood or tried to understand your style and approach." Farryn thinks that would've just been basic courtesy. Apparently not.

"Do you still have the work?" They ask Zora, a curious expression on their face. "I'm sure I would love to see it." And would appreciate it in a way that their clients never could, apparently. And if there is anything that Farryn can do to make Zora feel better, they would gladly do it. What are friends for, after all? "Anything else I can do for you, friend? I'd love to help if I can." Their smile is back. They hope to help their friend in whatever way they can. Even if it's just listening to them vent.

@escapedartgeek continued from here Zora just rests with their head in their hands. They are a little bit annoyed with the outcomes that they had been dealing with. Sure a showing had gone well enough - but they had been dealing with such persistent .. strange encounters with people who claimed to want to work with them. And yet failed to get even a basis grasp of what they were trying to accomplish with their work. It was one thing to be open to others' interpretations as they tried to be - but what they had been wrestling with felt like something else altogether. And Hope's statement just felt like another nagging sensation. "Maybe so. But like.. I don't know if I can hear that right now. "

Hope frowns. They had wanted to comfort Zora. That's all their words had been meant to do. But it appears that their words had frustrated them more than anything else.

Hope looks at Zora, their eyes full of concern but also apologetic. "Sorry, don't mean to be annoying. Just...wanting to help." They offer, a small, kind smile appearing on their face. "I can see how what I said could be hard to hear right now, though. " It could seem to be invalidating what Zora is going through, and though that's definitely not Hope's intention, they know it could be their impact nevertheless. "If you want to vent or talk about anything, I'm here. Or if you'd rather not, that's fine too. It's entirely up to you." Hope doesn't want to force Zora into anything, but does want them to know that Hope is there for them, always. Still, Hope is fine with whatever Zora wants to do, not wanting to be a frustrating presence, but rather a helpful one. Or if Zora would rather be alone for now, Hope will understand that too. Everyone deals with things differently. And Hope's feelings are their own to manage, they know.

we're having sex and you pull out at the end to discover your cock is entirely gone, dissolved (ive digested it like a pitcher plant). bye!

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.

Just saw someone with “use whatever pronouns you use for yourself for me” in bio. I honestly never considered the depth the pronoun metagame could have, we’ve barely scratched the surface with this shit

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

@thedoctornumber11 continued from here "You could have tricked me," the Doctor stated, keeping his sonic screwdriver out in case he needed to use it. "Who are you, and why are you here?"

This is the difficult part. The Doctor looks at their past self with a curious expression for a few moments as they debate what to do. Finally, they decide to be honest. "I'm you from the future. Far in the future...."

A pause, a chuckle. "I'm most likely here for the same reason you are. What brings you here?"

[minediamonds]

@escapedartgeek continued from here Zora just kind of .. glances at Farryn before giving a small shrug. "I mean I believe you. I'm just not sure what you want me to do about it. Seeing faces in unusual places is .. certainly a phenomenon that happens from time to time. Do you want to look into it any further - because.. this sounds like something you would take for an excuse to try and dive into what it might have been.." There's something something about Farryn and Adventure that Z might be thinking about right now but hasn't really tried to convey into words.

Farryn smiles brightly at Zora. Never one to say no to an adventure, that is their calling, after all, Farryn nods along to their words. "Of course I want to look into it! Want to come with?" Farryn will investigate the face either way, but adventures are always more fun with company. At least, from Farryn's point of view, they are.

Do you know this queer character?

Castiel is Queer and Agender or Genderfluid, and uses varying pronouns based on presentation!
