#the pronoun game

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

bonney normally speaks very coarsely- she usually uses omae as her ‘you’ pronoun, which is uncommonly rude and aggressive for women and is normally only used by men. however, when she addresses luffy-as-nika for the first time directly, to say “i’ve been searching for you,” she switches over to anta for ‘you’, which is still informal but far less confrontational.

and then when luffy is just completely not getting it in the next line (“huh? we’ve been together this whole time!”) bonney instantly snaps back to using omae again for her subsequent lines. respect gained -> lost speedrun INSTANT

I do really appreciate bg3 having neutral pronouns/the ability to use whatever pronouns regardless of appearance but it's really amusing to me when enemies or npcs I never met gender my tav correctly it feels like this

#like shadowheart right at the start of the game referring to my tav as them #i think its bc irl im so used to ppl just. referring to me as my presenting gender #i guess for the companions it kind of makes sense maybe the tadpole mentally protects ur pronouns to them #projects* #bg3

Having a sidebar about gender and pronouns in your indie RPG is de rigueur these days, but I have to confess I wouldn't know where to begin. The supported player character types in my most recently published games have variously included sapient jellyfish, sinister hovering orbs, and creatures so abstract that their human players aren't allowed to know what the words on their character sheets mean when play begins. Forthcoming titles I'm currently working on will add "two-inch-tall frog wizards", "the sapient reproductive apparatus of a fungal hive mind", and "a deep space bounty hunter who is secretly a person-size mech suit operated by fugitive space gerbils" to the list. I feel like unpacking enough assumptions to drill down to the level of pronouns is one of those beyond-the-scope-of-this-text propositions.

You’re making a lot of promises there Chara…

Part 24 || First || Previous || Next

—Full Series—

I enjoyed doing this little Flashback scene. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled freakout session soon. Having monochrome color is very nice.

Here is a gif of Chara spilling their water because YES. And I spent way too long on it :)

Wow technology is so cool.

#Frisk is finally name dropped!! WOOHOOO #Az and Chara are my Little Lily bugs and I love writing their interactions #they still have a lot to learn about each other though. it’s only been a few months! #the tiny nudge made me happy #untitled goose game is just chillin in the corner #if you want lol. I ain’t cannonizing anything there #gif #I’m really happy with all this. I was planning on making almost 7 pages but with some help from friends I decided to cut it down a lot #i’ve also really been wanting to solidify all of their pronouns for a while now but couldn’t find a suitable time #anyways…I still have some vacation time planned so the next update will also be somewhat delayed #thanks to all those who are still loving the story #much love #bread #art #deltarune #deltarune chara timeline #chara #Asriel #Kris #my art

Reasons to play In Stars and Time: Canon Pronoun Warfare.

#in stars and time #ISAT #Siffrin #Loop #Context: early on you meet a character who tries to get you to use the royal We pronoun for them and you shut them down. It's great. #The gender swag and non-binary rep in this game is lovely. #I sketched this out when I was in Act 2 - and as of posting this I have not yet finished the game so *please* no spoilers. #It is rare for me to get into something spoiler free and I have been getting my shit rocked by this game in the best way. #Yes I *am* taking another detour to talk about a video game I love again. I will have some fun crossovers. Trust the process. #I will also do my best to pitch this game as spoiler free as possible. Because you *should* play this game: #ISAT is a very lovingly crafted RPG with very fun and emotional writing. #The characters are great and the mysteries you slowly uncover are intriguing! #The way the gameplay ties into the player's own emotional state is nearly always in sync with the protagonist. You *will* feel things. #And it is not afraid to let those things be hard emotions! Do mind the content warnings and know your limits though. #As someone who sucks at video games I also appreciate that it is so generous with your time and keeps things fun. #Not to mention it is honestly underpriced for the amount of content in it. Buy this game. I need to spread the brainworms.

i feel like i'm fighting for my fucking life here

#ultrakill #hollow knight #risk of rain 2 #baldur's gate 3 #there are absolutely more out there these are just the primary ones from games *i* play #it's totally fine to hc other pronouns tho like it's very obvious when it's just queer ppl having fun #i'm talking abt the ppl who default to he/him pronouns when referring to nonhuman characters #it's always he/him too . like what's up with that #i am an any pronouns user but it/its are my favourites #and i dunno Feelsweird when it/its is pretty adamantly used for characters ingame and ppl just throw it aside #'oh but it/its pronouns are dehumanising' that's the POINT !!!!! grrr #i like it/its because it makes me feel LESS human . i connect with these characters because they are inhuman and monstrous fundamentally #. you know #this is all in good fun btw i'm not that serious about this #just felt like it needed to be pointed out

Jellyfish, specifically JellyNeil has no concept of gender nor does it remotely care about its gender until a very specific series of events

Find the mer au masterpost here 💕

#tbf Neil still doesn’t care #Andrew gets angry hearing Neil’s ‘I’m whatever you want me to be’ #until he realizes Neil genuinely has no preference #Neil’s not saying it because it’s going to change itself for Andrew #or anyone else #but because Neil *wants* to be what Andrew likes #(even tho sharkdrew doesn’t mind his agender jelly partner) #(technically. it’s much easier for Andrew to admit to himself he’s catching feelings after this moment) #does this make sense. does this come across #ANYWAY #there’s more to be said on the topic but y’all have fun #it/he jellyNeil with interchangeable pronouns I think is what I’m sticking with #for now anyway we’ll see how this develops #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #renee walker #dang she doesn’t have a mer tag yet either #andreil #jellyneil #sharkdrew #oops all mers au #mer au #jellyfish

so I've noticed A Trend with some of my favorite fnaf characters

obligatory explanations below the cut bc I know some of yall are gonna be annoying if I don't

spring bonnie: its character description in fnaf world reads "male? female? it's a rabbit, who cares?" springtrap and plushtrap are referred to with he/him pronouns, but never spring bonnie on its own.

mangle: this has been a running joke since fnaf 2; but his gender is a resounding "yes," as explicitly confirmed in freddy in space 3, during monty's trivia level. she uses he/she pronouns in all character descriptions.

funtime foxy: in his sister location custom night and ultimate custom night descriptions, he's referred to with exclusively he/him pronouns, but participates the "ladies night" challenges in both games. handunit also refers to funtime foxy with she/her pronouns in sister location.

lolbit: only ever referred to by name. if mangle's gender is yes, lolbit's is likely no.

daycare attendants: glamrock freddy, the only reliable source of information in security breach and only character that refers to the daycare attendants, uses it/its pronouns when talking about them. in the ruin DLC, helpi also refers to the daycare attendants with it/its.

#there might?? be some i missed??? i dont THINK so but if there is please feel free to add on #also if anyone tries to “um actually” me with some game files shit or something youre just adding to their inherent enby-ness. sorry. #it just means they use multiple sets of pronouns :) #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf spring bonnie #fnaf mangle #fnaf funtime foxy #fnaf lolbit #fnaf daycare attendant #fnaf sun #fnaf moon

huge fan of the fact that ivankov was already making up new pronouns for herself as a kid. she self-references as ヴォレ/vore here, a modified/accented version of the masculine ore, as opposed to the ヴァタシ/vatashi (modified feminine/formal pronoun watashi) she uses in the present.

she's also using the regular masculine omae for 'you' here instead of the vanata that she uses in the present, which is an accented version of the more formal (and more commonly used by women) anata. so her particular speech style has gotten notably more feminine between this flashback and the present, but has always been distinctly silly!

the best part of rvb is when they refer to tex by he/him pronouns for like 2 episodes and church just rolls with it

#im ignoring the part where after church says she everyone freaks out bc shes a girl thats not canon. to me. #they're just like “he's so badass i can't believe he stole your girlfriend church he's so cool” and church is just like yeah ok sure #he was playing the pronoun game just thinking “did she change her pronouns???” #bisexual church has been canon from day 1 fight me about it #rvb #red vs blue #agent texas #leonard church #rvb chex

A certain species of gamer: Dungeons & Dragons games were better back in the day when we didn't have all this woke pronoun shit.

Blood & Magic, a licensed Dungeons & Dragons RTS published in 19-fucking-96, two years before the FIRST Baldur's Gate:

#my art #glamrock chica #sundrop #sunnydrop #daycare attendant #gee sun how come you get THREE tags?? #anywayy i mostly drew this cause 99% of this fandom only uses he/him for both sun and moon #and as an it/they dca truther..... its hard out there #i think sun specifically would actually use any pronouns but moon is definitely it/they #im very passionate about how gender they are... and in game they're literally only ever referred to with it/its #and nothing in game ever refers to them with anything but those pronouns iirc (besides their model names i suppose) #anyway.. chica is so fun to draw i need to draw her more chica i love youuuuu

Reasons to Keep a Spare Hairtie

Gaming x Gender Neutral Reader

No pronouns - Romantic - Drabble - Fluff

Word Count: 550

“Aw, man!”

You turn, curious and surprised. Gaming hardly ever acted so down. As you turn on your heel, you can’t help the puff of laughter that escapes your lips at the sight of his usually neatly tied hair covering his face.

“Trying something new?” You tease, approaching to inspect the issue. Gaming blows air through his lips, lifting a brown tuft from his face momentarily.

“Ha ha,” He laughs dryly, before giggling sincerely. “My hair tie broke. And of course I left my headband at home today, so I guess I’ll just have to make do,”

You hum in consideration, secretly taking a moment to admire the way his hair drapes over his shoulders and forehead when down. Although, you did miss seeing the red undertone that was made visible by his usual style.

Watching Gaming try to tuck the fluffy hair behind his ears felt like watching a puppy try to find its way out of a big blanket. Cute, but very much making you feel obligated to help. Each time he managed to clear his face, the fluffy stands would pop back in front of him within seconds.

“Turn around,” you say warmly, tracing a loop with your forefinger to indicate the motion. Gaming stares at you for a moment, evidently wondering what for. However, it doesn’t take another second before he relinquishes control, turning so his back is to you.

You push his shoulder lightly until he sits down on the stone ledge under him. Gently, you scoop the soft brown hair from around his neck and face and pull it back into a ponytail.

Your fingers don’t linger long enough to feel the heat that erupts from his cheeks.

“You’re lucky I have a spare hair tie on me. With how fluffy your hair is, you’d look like a lion by the end of the day,”

“Yeah, lucky,” the dreamy quality in his voice catches you off guard. Promptly, you distract yourself from the skip of your heart with the task at hand.

You find your hands slowing more than necessary, and you take your time brushing your fingers through the fine strands of his hair. Briefly, you wonder what his hair might smell like. You scold the thought before you bury it.

You step around to face him once you let yourself finish, smiling as you admire your handiwork.

"There, now you can see, and you don't look like a mop," Gaming chuckles and rubs the back of his neck bashfully at your joking.

"Wow, thanks! It feels pretty good, and I bet it looks way better than what I do for my day-to-day," He carefully feels around his head to appreciate your work. "Hey, let me treat you to dim sum! As payment for your expert styling skills,"

"Gaming, you've paid for my dim sum the last three times, just let me pay already!" You try to argue as you follow him but know it's practically useless.

"Nope! You worked hard and you deserve a reward!" He's started into a light jog now, and you know that if you let him get ahead, he'll order and pay before you even arrive at the restaurant.

Speeding up, you feel a smile lift with the butterflies in your stomach, and as you run after the beaming lion boy, you can't help but wonder if he feels the same.
