so 8asically i just. in my canon(s) pronouns in alternian were complicated as shit and 8ased on 8lood color. im gonna explain it in more detail, out of quirk for reada8ility. (theyre written in the format of he/him/his)
each caste had their own pronouns, with the exception of fuchsia - fuchsiabloods were to be referred to as the alternian equivalent of “your majesty” (or the highblood or seadweller pronouns if you were close enough to them, depending on preference)
in addition, there was a hemoanon pronoun set (on grey in the picture), but it was rarely used, and if so mostly by lowbloods.
any individual could also use pronouns associated with lower castes, but often this was a bad decision as itd mean people would assume you were lower on the hemospectrum, resulting in worse treatment.
2. pronouns by bloodcolor
sorted into rustbloods (burgundy and bronze), greenbloods (lime, olive, and jade), bluebloods (teal, cerulean, and indigo), and purplebloods (purple and violet). again, an individual could also use any pronouns lower than their place on the hemospectrum.
3. pronouns by low/mid/high status
seperated into lowbloods (burgundy to lime), midbloods (olive to cerulean) and highbloods (indigo to fuchsia). it was an unspoken rule that you should not use lower pronouns than your own in this category, but some trolls would regardless.
landdwellers and seadwellers also had seperate pronouns. seadwellers would under no circumstances ever use landdweller pronouns, unless covering up their identity.
5. using pronouns for others
if talking about another troll, you would often use the most relevant set - if i was talking about my friend who got culled by a highblood, i would use the midblood pronouns a/ar/a, or if i was talking about how a violetblood i know was annoyed with the pollution of the sea, i would use the seadweller pronouns zae/zae/zae. if i was talking about the burgundyblood i saw being culled by a troll who wanted to use their blood for art, i would use the burgundy pronouns bu/bul/bur.
