If I see one more person bitching about the “it” pronouns or “bi lesbian” label you are banished. That’s it. It has 9 girlfriends and hacked the fucking no fly list!! You wish you could comprehend it’s swag

Bkdk incorrect quotes part five; in celebration of chp 412 and endgame QL Izuku canon(?)

Izuku: Cause you're pretty and you're smart, and you're ignoring me so you're obviously my type. Kachann , who was distracted: Hah- what were you saying? Izuku: Perfect. Izuku, throwing their head into Kachann 's lap: Tell me I'm pretty! Kachann , lovingly stroking their hair: You're pretty fucking annoying, that's what you are. Izuku, sweating: Kachann , there’s something I need to ask you- Kachann : Finally! You’re proposing! Izuku: How’d you know? Kachann : Izuku, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner. Kachann : I even picked it up once. Kachann : I want to kiss you. Izuku, not paying attention: What? Kachann : I said if you die, I wont miss you. Izuku: I think I'm falling for you. Kachann : Then get up. Kachann : If I'm extra sarcastic with you it probably means I'm flirting with you or you really annoy me and I can't handle your crap… have fun figuring out which one. Katsuki walking into the kitchen and seeing all their limes peeled: Izuku , I love you but, what the h-e-double FUCK. Izuku , sipping coffee happily: I love you too :) Izuku: Wait, but if you're not gay, why're you always kissing me and holding my hand and calling me your boyfriend? Katsuki: It's... satire Izuku: i don't think that what sati-

The preposterous Pied Piper makes it’s heinous debut!

With an intimidatingly permanent jolly expression to it’s face and a constant knack for laughing and giggling, it’s no question why this meticulously designed specimen is quick to make others flee! But don’t be deceived by it’s raggedy, silly exterior! For inside this humanoid build is a great multitude of… rats! A seemingly hive mind of an entity, inside of this soft sentient shell is the internal makeup of countless vermin it commands! Like seriously. They’re nothing but rats inside it. It has no other make up inside. It’s just. Rats.

But deep down, this whimsical, giggly entity has a darker origin to it’s motive. That old Mother Goose— yes, the very one after our pregnant protagonist Einin— has piqued this entity’s interest to the max. Joined along a small band of it’s equally sadistic allies, The Pied Piper has set it’s sights for control of that beastly bird with quite the cult-like obsession. Why? Who knows! Perhaps recognized power, or maybe it seeks alliance to carry out more wicked deeds alongside each other? And Einin…? She’s the utmost perfect bait to allow them to get ahold of that creature… if bait means sacrifice, in this case.

It would pull just about any trick in the book to get exactly what it wants. With a trusty smoking pipe along side him that it blows an oddly wispy essence out, it can easily lure in just about whatever it wants if the mind is feeble enough to fall impressionable to the falsified truths they will whisper. To him, nothing dare stand in it’s way of it’s cultivated goal… not even a backstabber.

(quick clarification: this post is specifically about neurodivergent transmeds refusing to use people's neos out of an apparent disrespect and using their neurodivergence as an excuse to legitimately be mean. feel free to add more stuff onto this in the replies!)

hey guys don't mean to be queer on main but i think people using their neurodivergency as an excuse to misgender people isn't ok actually.

i've seen stories of quite a few people who use the fact that they have ADHD (or some other condition that may cause memory issues) and can't remember things well as an excuse to "forget" someone's neopronouns, even after being asked by that person multiple times to refer to them with those pronouns. this isn't ok on so many levels.

first of all, i think it's incredibly guilt-trippy to make someone feel bad about accidentally being ableist by expressing themselves, when in reality, they haven't done anything wrong at all. using funky and obscure pronouns is not ableist in any way just because some people might have issues remembering them, and i think the take that neopronouns are ableist, especially for that reason, is an incredibly ridiculous and purely situational excuse to be mean.

that's like if someone told you their name, and then you got mad at them for using that name because you struggle to remember it and you demanded them to use a name that's easier and more convenient for you to use, rather than the name that the other person feels comfortable with. that's not an accommodation, that's just being an asshole.

second of all, some neurodivergent people (such as autistic people for example) struggle with change and complex concepts like language and pronouns. it's hard to get used to using neopronouns or someone changing their pronouns sometimes, especially when it happens for the first time because you're so used to it. however. finding change hard is NOT an excuse to misgender someone for your own comfort. someone's deeply personal identity should not be the cost of your own convenience, and refusing to acknowledge and respect that identity by not doing the bare minimum that is using their pronouns is incredibly close-minded and harmful.

third of all, the way someone chooses to express themselves is literally none of your business. someone uses pronouns that are confusing and seem grammatically incorrect to you? none of your business. someone's using "stereotypical" pronouns that "make the queer/autistic community look silly"? not your problem. we're all a little silly.

if you're neurodivergent and you find neopronouns, or any pronouns, difficult to remember or understand, here are some tips you can try instead of being mean:

make a fun little chart of people's names, their pronouns and how to pronounce them (ex. Name | Pronouns | Pronounce)! colour code them, use stickers and drawings, anything that will help you remember which pronouns someone uses. stuff like whiteboards and docs can work well for people who frequently change their pronouns or have a lot of them. making the chart fun, personalised and memorable can help a lot with memory issues for a lot of people.

try practising saying or typing their pronouns, whether that's in the mirror or in group chats. there's some really good pronoun dressing room websites that help illustrate how to use more obscure pronouns in conversation.

feel free to ask people! if you can, ask them what their pronouns are and how to pronounce them. i'm sure they will not be mad and will gladly help you learn :) (though please remember to not out someone and their pronouns if they are in an unsafe place. make sure they feel comfortable first before asking/telling someone about their pronouns because some spaces can be really bigoted and unsafe unfortunately.)

make a character that has neopronouns! making an OC that you get attached to can help you familiarise yourself with the concept and referring to that character frequently with their pronouns!

hopefully this is helpful. if you end up seeing anyone in the neurodivergent community use their neurodivergence and an excuse to misgender someone, please block them and don't start an argument. bigotry will not be tolerated in this community or on my blog.

disclaimer: this post is NOT saying that having memory issues/issues with change makes you a bad person, nor does it make you intentionally ignorant and rude. this post is specifically about people who willfully refuse to respect and use someone's correct pronouns on the basis that they're neurodivergent and find them confusing, and choose to intentionally misgender people for their own comfort/convenience.

edit: also!! i should add that this post isn't saying that nd people who legitimately find neopronouns as a concept difficult to grasp (such as people with learning disabilities) are bad people either! that was something i didn't think of when writing this because this post is more about neurodivergent transmeds/transphobes i've seen in the queer and nd communities specifically, but yeah!! i think accommodations absolutely should be made if a neurodivergent person finds themselves having communication difficulties related to neopronouns because some disabled people actually cannot use them. for extra clarification i have added a disclaimer at the beginning of this post. (thanks to @zolf for pointing this out in the notes)

'trans men can be lesbian' are you a trans man. genuinely asking cuz uhhh...

anyways id like to say that trans men are men. men.

im going by nonbinary now as of like late ish march this year, but as somebody who identified with being a trans man for 4 years with only one gap of thinking i was genderfluid to try and appease internalized shit, we're men. cant be lesbian.

'well they have a connection to womanhoo-' thats transphobic but alr.

'well history says-' well history SAID that eugenics was good once or twice, does that mean all nazis and shit are valid or like???

trans MEN cant, trans MASCS can. get your shit right.

love how you can use he pronouns and not be a guy. love how you can use she pronouns and not be a girl. love how you can use they pronouns and still be binary. love pronouns

this is lucas and it sucks that people haven't been using faer swag pronouns. fae should get fae'd more often, i think (if fae decides that the pronouns still fit faer). regardless, i hope fae has a nice pride month :)

fae/faer still fucks, ty for confirming that, sir <3

Lets stop pushing headcanons onto real life people and start respecting peoples fucking pronouns instead of creating a wild narrative built on your own obsession with a person fitting ur exact views and wants and then acting like youre normal for that. Yes this about Gerard Way, please stop constantly misgendering them and attempting to label them because YOU think youre entitled to their experience and journey with their gender. If Gerard is transfem thats for THEM TO FUCKING DECIDE.

YOU DO NOT GET TO DECIDE WHAT THEY IDENTIFY AS YOU LITTLE FREAK

i think more people need to talk about how their past identities echo into the present and how sometimes it's good to embrace those memories with open arms. i am a cumulation of every lived experience i've lived through; i am shaped by memories

Listen I'm all for using multiple pronouns, go crazy, it's not up to me to decide how you wanna live your life, but-

If you use different pronouns for the same person, IN THE SAME SENTENCE, I'm going to automatically think it's a different person

"She thought that they said-" sounds like two different people please

Codsworth would absolutely destroy someone verbally and physically if they misgendered me or made me feel invalid and tbh that's so important

hey btw chara and frisk are both canonically use and are referred to by they/them pronouns so get off my blog if you're going to misgender them, i don't want any enbyphobes interacting with my content

This is not very thought through but I have some issues w the closeted experience being described as a “facade” or not ur “authentic truth” hmmmm. Especially because the idea of lying is upsetting to me and it causes a lot of distress for me to think AND be told that I’m lying by not being out. And it is often coming from people that are out which I’m not trying to say there’s some kind of Out Privilege or that the Closeted are oppressed by out ppl I just . Hm wonder if they might not be aware of the internal conflict this idea perpetuates

Like I want to want to come out because I’m sharing something about myself, and that I feel safe to share that. I don’t want to come out because I feel like I’m lying to every person who I don’t tell I’m trans or gay etc. I don’t want to feel like I’m lying every time my parents call me their daughter and I don’t object to it. But of course I’m saying this as a closeted person, and out ppl were, for the most part, once closeted too.

And then I wonder, how much this idea of it being a facade or lie transfers to stealth trans people who bigots will accuse of lying for not disclosing. Are we lying when we don’t offer our identities to every person? Is it a facade to go through certain aspects of ur life being seen as a typical member of a cisheteronormative society? Does it have to be interpreted as shame when we don’t have the energy to take on the burden of bigotry when our identities are known?
