Caption: [So, you're nonbinary. You've got your nouns figured out, you got your pronouns figured out. What could possibly go wrong? Until, there's a formal setting. You have to use a title. You don't have a doctorate! So you go online, you look "what are gender neutral titles", "nonbinary titles" and everything everywhere says "mx". It's fine. You just don't feel like its right for you. So what do you do?

Hi I'm Tuse, I'm nonbinary and I'm a huge linguistics and history nerd. And I want to share some alternate options for nonbinary titles. Let's start with what we already know. Mister and Missus. Those are the base gendered titles in English. Mrs. comes from Mistress. So, mister and mistress. The ending of those "-ter" and "-tress", those are the modern English forms of the Latin tor and trix.

So one great option is just removing the gendered ending. So just "Mist". I really like this because its simply, to the point. I like to shorten it with "M". But my favorite option is- Latin didn't have two grammatical genders. Latin had a neuter gender. And so, the neuter equivalent of "tor" and "trix", is "trum". So "Mistrum".

I really like this, I use it for myself. I like to shorten it as "Mm". And I really like it because it is unambiguous. It is very clearly not mister, not mistress, not missus, and not miss. That's what I like to use for myself. I love exploring other options for nongendered titles and nongendered language in general.

We have a tendency to come up with one option and then expect everyone who doesn't fit into the two binary options to use that third option. And we don't have to do that. If you have other options for what you like to use as your title as a nonbinary person, I would love to hear it. Please share!]

Got some art for the fanfic! Wanted to go for a comic style so I broke out my Pigmas when I should have been taking notes during a lesson, but oh well. Did anyone ask for this? Nope. I currently have Chapter 26 in the works, not totally sure of when I’ll be able to get that out, but it should be done in the next two weeks. Busy, busy, busy!

Art trade with fren, @emperorblackheart

His name is Widogast, he is foggy boi

Concept: What if Takemure fell in love with V but refuses to acknowlage it, because of his duty and maybe he thinks they will not return the feeling cuz him being corpo, straigh up Saburos bodyguard and diferences in their outlook on life. Maybe he will quetly drown in sorrow, yearning and misery. Slowly becoming colder and distand to V.

What if V actualy feels same, they love him but thinks that he will not returng feeling for dirty merc from streets. But still enjoy their friendship in diference from him, for Takemura it's bittersweet, no one ever cared for him this way but nothing more ever come from this. V is just happy to have friend. His coldness is hurting them and V is just asking themselves "What did they do?". Slowly driving themselves to be borderline alcoholic and wandering badlands.

They both just ache and yearn until death or grand confesion.
