How am I supposed to pronoun this character?
Back cover of the book uses 'she'
TVTropes page uses 'they'
Chapter two lays out, among other things, deliberately gender-ambiguous presentation
"I want out of the game entirely" (in reference to how ambiguous a new look should be)
Character occasionally refers to past self (who "had begun my search for who I really was but hadn't yet recognized the full scope of my options") as she/her
So far I haven't noticed a single similar reference to current self (and I've been keeping an eye out)
No other character has so far mentioned this one on-page in 3rd person except by name

#really it depends#they can be really good#or the raisins can be even a little bit burnt and therefore horrible

#ish#i can do the chorus of the my neighbor totoro theme in japanese#i don't know how much that counts since most of it is just the name of the movie

#waffle reads#fanfic#i mean#i could probably count all the 'canon' ships in the things i currently have open fic pages for on fingers & toes#(recognizing that what i consider 'canon' is probably stricter than a lot of other people)#in general who is being shipped doesn't matter a lot to me#so much as how well#(and whether it's in a style i like)

Hey, wait, I know those roots.
"Anaklusmos", translated as "riptide", would be the opposite of a kata-klysm(os), or cataclysm (or perhaps just the same thing in the opposite direction).
Aand yes, etymonline says cataclysm is from kataklysmos, a deluge, flood, or inundation. heee!

Reblog to curse your followers and mutuals.
#i mean the censor bars wouldn't change a whole lot#i'm not good at recognizing faces#but i'm going to go with the possible futures#if i get a good one every once in a while that could be nice

[ID: An excerpt from an article reading as follows:
An investigation by WIRED fed a variety of prompts into Midjourney, a popular AI image generator. Prompts for front-facing photos of "a nonbinary person," "a bisexual person," "a transgender man," and "an asexual person" all returned similar results: a skinny, white person with short hair - and that hair, for some reason, is almost always purple.
Following the excerpt are sample images labeled with each of the prompts, all matching that description. End ID]

#ummm#so#the last fictional character in my pictures is#jenny#from the fourth indian in the cupboard book#she doesn't appear in person in the book#let's see she's a displaced nineteenth-century maid from dorchester#who is in the book's present already dead on both sides of time#and when she was in the modern era she was three inches tall#very meek and not formally educated#not precisely lawyer material

To the very best of my recollection, I've "clocked" a trans person - real or fictional - without knowing in advance that they were trans, exactly once in my life.
But on the other hand, I can't remember the last time I found the "oho, this character is a girl pretending to be a boy" trope surprising or unexpected.
These feel like concepts that should be related, so I wonder what it is that makes the difference.
