rise and reclaim your place

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

"i miss him" says girl about the fictional guy she thinks about every hour of every day

got that dog in me and mitski has been showing financial interest in it

speaking of semicanonical they/thems. i am rewatching again and there is a Remarkable number of times that tr meet an npc and are entirely unable to guess their gender unless given a gendered honorific to go with it. there is also a Remarkable number of times that lore flavor text switches around pronouns. either tr are just deeply confused by gender or everyone here is gnc as fuck or trans. ianite, capsize, furia, the shadows, gaines, world historian, gandus, the darkness,

cjordan having no idea about gender + ianitee language having complicated pronouns = i think the pirates would want to study him like a worm. capsize cautiously uses the masculine based off of how ianite addresses him, and knows there's Probably something there based on the way he talks abt the concept while learning the language but whatever, not her problem, she has bigger fish to fry. redbeard does not and just keeps throwing pronouns at jordan for sport to see what will stick. he responds to everything other than she/they for some reason

grips myself by the shoulders. no. no. it is ENOUGH to put english words in standard galactic you do NOT need to come up with an actual ianitee conlang you do NOT have the TIME to come up with an actual ianitee conlang you do NOT have the SKILL to come up with an actual ianitee conlang do NOT do it

so. the ocean is a she/they,

anyway objects and concepts are almost always genderless Except for when they're something associated heavily with the gods, bc they're facets and aspects of divinity. there are seven standard pronoun sets. i have a paper due

not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
