🍉🖥ACTUAL INTRO ABOUT ME BECAUSE IDK 🖥🍉

Hi my name is Watermelon!!!! (Yes that's my actual preferred name idk why) I sign off my post thingies with "- Watermelon 🍉🖥" I AM NOT A SYSTEM!!! I just like doin that because it's something

I use any pronouns (especially neopronouns or xenopronouns) and I think I'm xenogender n objectum (mainly techtum) n aroace (aegoromantic/sexual to be exact)

I LOOOOVE computers!!! I like music and drawing too I guess :/ but mainly COMPUTERS!!!

Funnily enough I don't like watermelons a whole lot and the whole watermelon thing originated from me yelling it in gym class lmao

This blog (??? Do I actually have a blog what is this) is probably gonna mention NSFW things from time to time maybe? I'll obviously put warnings!!!!! I don't like just subjecting people to me wanting to do things to a computer without warning them first because otherwise that's weird.. Like i may be strange but not that strange like ew

My favorite colors are green and pink and red but I really like rainbows the most!!! Very pretty <3

I LOOOOVE answering questions so if you have questions about me even if you're not interested in me as a friend please please ask them

hello rook! i need some advice from someone who uses neopronouns and hope to know your opinion

i have a moot who only understands very basic english and never communicates with the english side of any fandoms or in general, just their native language. recently, she's getting bombarded and targeted by someone (we dk if it's one person or a group of them) who keeps pestering her about neopronouns because my friend once posted about being extremely confused when she stumbled upon someone who uses kitty/kittyself especially when the translation to her native doesn't makes sense at all

im the only english speaking moot of hers but im not knowledgeable about neopronouns so she decided to make some research about it. an hour later, she told me that it's the most confusing thing she's ever heard, even worse than trans and intersex

in her native, there's only one pronoun used for everyone and its spelt and pronounced the same. she does know that there's she/her, he/him, they/them, and it in english, but she doesn't understand why someone would want to custom make their own pronouns when they could've just use they/them. she couldn't imagine using those irl

as mentioned before, idk anything about neopronouns, so idk what advice to give her

i don't think she's trying to be mean or anything, she's just genuinely confused on what is this new stuff she accidentally stumbled upon, but i don't think this justifies that person/group to target her for not understanding english and what's going on in a specific group of the lgbt community

as someone who uses neopronouns, what would u tell her? what are your thoughts on people who couldn't understand neopronouns, would u force them to use it regardless or break your friendship?

Haha sorry this took a while to answer anon! I got busy and stuff but ill try to answer this as best as i can 👍

To me when it comes to using neoponouns, a part of it is me seeing pronouns in general as a part of my gender presentation. I see myself as a girl and a boy at the same time yet use he/him or prefer to be referred to with masculine terms because its more comfortable to me. Its how i present my own gender.

This applies to my neopronouns as well. Gender itself is a performance to me which is why i use neopronouns along side with he/him. It's like a stage persona i guess? Not all people who use neos are the same of course.

I could see where your friend is coming from though, my native language, filipino, also has like a general pronoun to refer to others (siya) which is gender neutral.

I honestly don't mind if people don't use my neos on me if they find it difficult but if they don't use it simply because they find it ridiculous or weird then maybe i would be a little hurt. It's all about intent really. However if i would exclusivrly use neos then I'd honestly be a little miffed. I'd like for people to play along with my presentation and all. Sorry if this didnt make sense 😭 i just started rambling because guess what i just like talking abiut myself lol
