so this week's subject of discourse on my side of twitter is pronouns and i'd like to ask your thoughts on them? personally i think "pronouns aren't tied to gender" is bs. pronouns only exist to replace one's name not to make conversation repetitive so of course they SHOULD specify the gender. so we know who we're talking about!! which makes the "she/they" "he/they" "all pronouns" thing ridiculous to me. like how am i supposed to know we're talking about one (1) person and not multiple? it defeats the point of pronouns...

btw i also find the "they" for nb ppl frustrating bc in spanish our "they" is gendered. like we have él/ellos (masculine he/they), ella/ellas (femenine she/they) AND in what we call "inclusive language" we've created a new non-gendered pronoun in both singular and plural (elle/elles) which i love. ik some languages don't even use pronouns but coming from a language that does, it irks me that in english it's like halfway there yk? like english language if you're gonna have pronouns do it well lol

ahh, the infamous pronoun debate!

in short: yes. pronouns are inherently gendered.

it makes no sense to use a pronoun that doesn't tie to your gender identity, and you shouldn't be using conflicting pronouns (ie he/him lesbian or she/her gay man) bc the whole point of pronouns is to make communications easier. i also have a very hard time with mixed pronouns, bc if you switch between pronouns, it makes it absolutely incoherent of who you're speaking about. and that's not even touching on the subject of neurodivergent brains that find it hard to follow a conversation in normal circumstances.

as for the they/them issue, while i still find it incredibly difficult to use it as someone who is 1) neurodivergent and 2) been paying attention to how english works since 4th grade when i decided i wanted to eventually publish a book, i would rather have they/them for nb's and gender neutral issues than any set of neopronouns (or even the old ones like thon or whatever). but that's also from a native english speaker, where that's what i'm used to, and so it just makes the most sense for me. plus, to me, allowing neopronouns in for any reason is too much of a slippery slope into like, emoji neopronouns n shit that we've got going on online already.

on a bit more of a selfish note, i also hate mixed pronouns bc you use pronouns when you're talking about someone, not to someone. so mixed pronouns--especially the people that demand that you constantly flip between them--are asking others to view them as so special as to make the world harder for neurodivergent people, both the one talking and the one listening, with that person gone. it's frustrating and it's annoying and it's extremely confusing.

again, as a native english speaker that doesn't speak spanish, i think it's pretty cool that y'all have a non-gendered they/them (if i'm understanding what you're saying right!! if not i v much apologize)!! that's awesome for you guys and i hope that's going well :)

but yeah, pronouns are inherently gendered, so i agree that he/they, she/they, he/her, and she/he/they are generally pretty terrible for a multitude of reasons. i'll cling to my they/them just for sanity's sake (and bc yuck to neopronouns) but i can definitely understand why you would be frustrated with english not having an equivalent to spanish.

#also hello i'm v tired today after a night of bad sleep so #if some of this didn't come out right #pls assume it's all in good faith!!#i'm always happy to engage in polite discussion :3 #i once tried to read a book my brother had that used xe/xem bc the character was an alien #with different sexes than male/female #and boy howdy #i could not understand a WORD that book said #every time i came to those pronouns i had to disengage from the story #to remind myself what those meant #surprising no one i did not finish that book #sorry for rambling in the tags but like #if u follow me n u thought i wouldn't then you haven't been paying attention /lh

hello again anon!! THANK U AAAA i might post it after the current event ends bcs im busy grinding lately lol but i will post it soon so i hope u like it ehe ;; as for ur schedule PLS SLEEP !!!! i do know the feeling off not doing any of ur work nd just resting but sometimes it's ok anon! studying when ur not feeling like it will only feel like a chore nd u probably wont be able to retain any of it. so study when u want to, bcs while exams r important, so r u hehe <3 anyways here r the charas!! wrote a lil scenario for mika, leo, nd rei!! hope u like it <3

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

KAGEHIRA MIKA

• mika overworks himself alot, mainly bcs he just wants to prove, to himself and others, that he is worthy of being a part of valkyrie

• but he still likes being a lil spoon when yall r cuddling (o˘◡˘o)

• while he is a powerful artist when hes on stage, he just melts when hes in ur arms yk!!!!

• so he doesnt mind it when lately u seem to be slacking off a bit more than usual bcs he gets more cuddles from u !!!!! #mika1stwin

• but when u suddenly stop out of nowhere nd even refuse to come out of ur room at times bcs uve procrastinated ur work too much nd if u do not finish going through ur material then ur doomed to fail nd oh lord-

• "(y/n)?"

• u look up at ur bf nd hes standing beside u- w his stuff in his hands.....?

• "ah ya see.....ya've been lookin' a lil stressed lately so i thought abt.....helpin' u like this! idk what is troublin' ya, but im here to always listen! :D"

• u break into a grin, one mika had missed so much, nd grab his cheeks to plant a kiss on his cheek

• nd still keeping ur hands where they are, u pull away to look at his bright red face

• "thank u mika... ill always be here for u too, ok?"

• nd he quickly nods, scared to meet ur eyes, esp bcs of the close proximity of ur faces rn

• what a lil baby

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

TSUKINAGA LEO

• leo is honestly the last person u want to see when ur trying to finish learning ur material,,,that too in a rush

• like!!!!! u love him u rlly do but this bitch will start doodling abt his inspiration nd all nd ur brain just cant focus yk

• that, nd also that if u dont give him Any attention At All he will literally wither away nd basically refuse to sleep nd WILL stare at u till u give him kissies (nd he alrdy doesnt sleep enough........ sigh)

• so when he wakes up in the middle of the night (the one night u managed to somehow get him to bed) nd doesnt see u in the room a part of him panics

• he quickly calls out for u nd when he hears u respond from the study room, he opens the door to see u slowly turn around from ur chair, tired, shoulders slumped over

• immediately rushing over, leo tightly wraps u in a hug, a hand running through ur hair

• "(Y/N)!!!!!!!!! WHERE WERE U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT THE ALIENS KIDNAPPED U!!!!?!!???!!!!!!! DONT LEAVE ME AGAINNNNNN ｡･ﾟﾟ*(>д<)*ﾟﾟ･｡!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

• "leo it's 2 am.......nd also i didn't leave u, u know? im right here!"

• the exhaustion was very evident in ur voice, so much so that leo pulled away only to squint his eyes at u nd go "r u not ok? u sound tired ...... gasp r u DYING????????? NOOOOO U CANT DIE UR MY INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!"

• "leo thats v sweet nd while yes i Am dying im not leaving u it's ok"

• leo smiles, which turns into a grin, nd then he suddenly gasps again nd oh lord what idea is it this time

• "(y/n)!!!!! how abt i sleep here????????"

• ".....huh?"

• "YEA!!!!!! didn't u leave that room so u wouldn't disturb me?????? but im lonely so......ill just sleep on ur lap then, ok? ok! good nightttt!!!!!!!!"

• nd then he places his head on ur lap, the other half on his body relying on the chair he was previously sitting on for support

• while he isnt wrong abt the disturbance part.....he does look content here.......nd he does feel lonely so ......

• mayb u just gotta learn today what u can wing everything at this point...... it's gonna be ok . probably....?

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

SAKUMA REI

• unlike the other two, rei wouldn't even have to guess that ur not doing ok, he would just Know

• nd what does he do to help? flirt w u nd get u to let him teach u obv!

• he Knows it's not rlly teaching, nd so do u, but what can u do when he looks at u w those puppy eyes of his, nd says that he'll do anything nd everything in his power to always help u

• so when he does take in whatever u have to study he..... he realises he's Also bad at this

• good job rei rlly helps out a ton!

• anyways to make up for it, nd also stick w his promise to help u, he tells u to go through the material, nd explain it to him! he heard somewhere that it works bcs it forces u to rlly understand the concept instead of memorising it nd u think it should work

• but oh god how is it supposed to work when rei keeps looking at u w stars in his eyes, nd his hand suddenly grabs urs nd he circles his thumb on the back of ur hand nd IS HE FLIRTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A STUDY SESSION

• rei playfully quirks an eyebrow when he sees u get flustered nd just . lay ur head on the table w sigh nd just whine

• "REIIIIIIIII I HAVE TO STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

• he chuckles bcs he does realise what hes doing to u nd honestly he loves ur reactions so he keeps doing it

• "fufufu.....sorry love, i'll be quiet now. go on, do ur thing." (liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur too flirty for a study session!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

• tip : never keep him in the same room as u when u have work to do . keeps flirting . too much distraction .

• ratings : 200/10 . the additional 200 points is bcs hes too cute to say no....... god he rlly has u wrapped around his finger huh
