#they use any pronouns! I actually think neo pronouns might be better but i havent decided on which ones

Hiiiii I love the pics you posted of your ceramics they are extremely epic 👍👍👍 also tell me more about the characters in them 👉👈 they look so cool!

HI LOUIE YOU ARE SO NICE ALWAYS ILY TYSM 💕💕💕

for the ones I've posted so far only one of them is an actual oc that I use consistently, its the one of the lil guy in an apple!! The others are just unique to the pieces :)

A page from my sketchbook of them hehe. They have three names but I mainly refer to them as noma for consistency's sake. It's short for anomaly! To summarize, they're a shapeshifter with very little control of the shifts, which are heavily tied to their thoughts and feelings. They have no idea what their true form is, and even the way I depict them isn't how they would actually look like most of the time. It's more so to make them recognizable.

I find it easier to get across their situation in the form of questions. Were they a monster to begin with or did seeing their self as one make them become one? How would you break such a cycle if what your thinking is manifesting itself to be true? if they learn to accept this part of themself would they lose it?

They feel like something is inherently different about them from other people, and those thoughts cause shifts. But they aren't incorrect in thinking that way because they have this abnormal.. ability(?) So is it self afflicted or isn't it?

Tbh, I don't think chatgpt was ever going to be helpful on that particular subject. Google searches and asks sent to LGBT information blogs might be a better route if you ever decide to try understanding again later. I don't use them personally, but the way I see it, neopronouns are just like any other word used to describe a person. Nicknames, labels, pronouns: people are just using whatever words they feel match up best. People who like more than one gender could all identify as bi if they wanted, but for some, a different word feels like a better fit. As far as grammar, you can always ask on a case by case basis, and I'm sure anyone would get it if you messed up sometimes. But yeah, even Wikipedia would probably be a better resource than a chat bot.

I feel that the thing i dont understand about it would be taken as too pedantic to be worth explaining. And because of that, no google search would give me an answer specific enough for the questions. And yeah chatgpt is definitely not the best option, but i feel uncomfortable requesting of someone for whom this is a personal topic to have patience while they overexplain something that im not getting on an abstract level. I've been going in circles with chatgpt for almost 3hours now about this 😂 because i still havent given up lol.

But to stop being so vague about it, what I don't understand is how a neo-pronoun can resonate with a person. Like, what is it about a particular neo-pronoun that speaks to someone over a more traditional pronoun? This is difficult for me to understand because there is nothing i can compare it to in my own experience. Like, for me I feel that my reasons for my pronouns are not the same reasons someone with neo-pronouns may have. And as far as it being similar to bisexuality, that comparison confuses me because if i idenfity as (for instance) pansexual over bisexual, it would be because to me, pansexual carries a meaning that isnt captured by "bisexual". It would be because, to me, those words, while similar, are not actually synonymous. So if that is also the case with traditional pronouns vs. Neo pronouns, then my question is: what is it about "zir" (for instance) that means something different than a more traditional pronoun like "them" if both suggest a gender identity that is outside of the binary? What does "zir" mean that "they" isn't capturing? What quality of "zir" resonates more than "they"?

Clearly these questions can be subjective and are likely to have different answers from different people. And im also not asking you to answer these for me, anon, just to be clear. Im just explaining my thoughts, and why wikipedia or a google search wouldnt help me answer this. You're right in that I would probably need to ask real people for their insights into this. But im afraid of coming off as disingenuous or even just annoying by being so.. philosophical about my misunderstanding of what i think is supposed to be not this complicated, & im really not looking to upset or offend anyone.
