I don't use pronouns

You may ask, "well how does that work? Doesn't everyone have pronouns?"

Well yes, but also no.

I'm fairly sure everyone uses the pronoun "I" (Though I might very well be wrong) but not everyone, for example me, use the third person/thing pronouns, which would be "she/he/they/it/ze/(and more)" and that is what I am referring to when I say "I don't use pronouns"

Well how do you not use third person/thing pronouns? Do you just say the person's name over and over again?

Well that is certainly one way though that might take the flow off your text or words quite easily. But worry not for there are other ways to go around that.

Some that come to mind right now would be

1. Referring to what the person is you are referring to.

It might be easier with fictional non human characters, but you can do it with real humans as well.

An example of this could be

"Oh, I think she went to sleep"

Okay well this character is a demon, let's use that!

"Oh, I think the demon went to sleep"

Unfortunately most of the people you are going to be talking to are humans and not otherwordly beings. I know, boring. You can still use this though! Maybe a "demon" doesn't mean a literal demon, it could be word play for troublemaker, though you can use that in itself as well

"Oh, I think the troublemaker went to sleep"

That is what the person is, maybe not literally. I mean "troublemaker" isn't a species or anything like that, but it does describe what kind of a person we are talking about.

You could also just use "guy" if you know the person you are referring to is comfortable with these kinds of terms (Personally I am, when used in a non literal manner and more of a slang)

"Oh, I think the guy went to sleep"

2. Change your wording!

It can take a bit of thinking, but practice makes the master, so don't feel discouraged if you don't pick it up immediadly.

I'll give you an example

"I asked, but he didn't seem to have any interest in joining"

"I asked, but there didn't seem to be any interest in joining"

3. Referring to a title or a position of some kind.

This should be fairly easy, but everyone makes mistakes. Just remember not to make it about yourself, just apologize (this doesn't mean write a novel about how shit you are, it means "Oh, sorry" and not quilt tripping the person to forgive you. They don't have to and you shouldn't expect them to), fix your mistake and quickly move on.

Here's the example:

"He wrote the equation on the blackboard, his hands shaking from old age I'd assume"

"The teacher wrote the equation on the blackboard, hands shaking from old age I'd assume"

As you can see I also used changing my words a little on the last part instead of saying "the teacher" again. This is to help the text flow more naturally, so don't feel restricted to only using one way in this and experiment! I'm sure these aren't the only ways, just what came to my mind at the moment.

[homunculus-argument]

Saw a post about whether Johnny Bravo would date a trans woman, and now the thought is in my head and I hate being able to picture exactly how that conversation goes, so now I have to write it out.

You ask him, as a hypothetical question. He says he doesn't know what that word means, but you said "women" so now he's interested. No, the other word. He doesn't know what "hypothetical" means. He interrupts your explanation to let you know that sounds boring, he doesn't want to know what "hypothetical" means. What was that other word, you said "women".

You try to explain as simply as you can, being frequently interrupted by reminders that he is uninterested in abstract concepts and unfamiliar terminology. He doesn't know what a chromosome is. He doesn't want to know what a chromosome is. He is unsure how any of this subject is related to the ladies but he's optimistic about it.

After about half an hour, he finishes with asking "ok but what's the difference". After a while of unfruitful back and forth, you understand what he's asking what is the difference to him, how does this distinction affect him and his immediate surroundings. You have no idea how to word this in a way that would be understandable to a gerbil with A1 level english skills.

"If... If trans women are women, there's... More women?"

"More women. Nice. Then let's go with that one."

He walks into the sunset, leaving you unsure whether anything of value was actually achieved. As a matter of fact it feels likely that instead of you enlightening him, he actually managed to make you stupider.

here’s something ive been working on for the past couple weeks. mettaton animatic hours

Non-binary characters in Undertale and Deltarune

A lot of people don’t notice this, but there are several major characters in Undertale that are referred to exclusively with they/them pronouns. In this post, I’ll go over them, and I’ll explain why so many non-binary people identify with them.

Keep reading

[suzyundertale]

Small update of this post since chapter 2 of Deltarune! 

1. In the Undertale 6th anniversary livestream, Toby refers to Seam with they/them pronouns!

2. In chapter 2 of Deltarune, Kris is referred to with they/them pronouns a SHIT TON, so much so that it almost feels like making up for the fact they’re only referred to with they/them once in chapter 1 lmao. Oh, and also, Toby refers to Kris with they/them in the 6th anniversary livestream too!

Here’s some screenshots of Kris’s own freaking mother referring to them with they/them pronouns, so “Susie and Ralsei don’t know their pronouns” isn’t an excuse anymore! (this is from this easter egg)

I fucking hate the new internet I hate how every website is owned by a rich dude who kicks babies and has 10 huge ads that fill up the screen for 3 seconds before you can close them and 3 of those ads have auto play videos that play the entire time you’re on the site and you can’t close them. I fucking hate the new internet I fucking hate the new internet I fucking hate the new internet. I hate discord I hate social media sites I want forums and IRC goddamnit

Everybody use neocities.org to make a free old fashioned homepage like the good old angelfire/geocities days or host a much bigger website (like my one) for $5 a month. The owner charges that little because he’s being honest about what it actually costs to host everything. Other webhost services charge up to 10 times that and it’s almost all just their own profit.

[unlani]

Please make a neocities!

You can back up your work at any time. If Neocities goes down, you can take your blog or wiki or what have you and move to a new provider (or even host it yourself).

Free accounts have 1gb of space. You probably won’t hit that unless you’re hosting a lot of images. I’m at 0.5% of that limit, almost all of which is images. Plain-text just doesn’t scale that quickly. (If you can donate, I encourage you to even if you haven’t hit the limit. It’s a great website.)

Neocities has its own tutorial built-in, but I’d recommend checking out other resources as well! Most of what I’ve learned is from googling about specific problems and then moving on from there. I’d also recommend looking around your library or used item stores! I have a HTML/CSS guide I got for 6$, and it helped me fill a lot of gaps in my google education.

For anyone interested in blogging on neocities, I’d recommend checking out zonelets.net. It’s free, and has in-depth video tutorials explaining how to use it. It makes blogging a lot easier, though the way it relies on javascript can make parts of your site inaccessible to those who don’t/can’t use it. If you’re looking to solve that problem and are used to using html, I’d recommend looking at static site generators like Jekyllrb.com (this is the one I use, which is why I’m linking it. I’ve heard good things about gohugo.io too.).

I’d also like to take a moment to shill for forums.sufficientvelocity.com. It’s a writing/worldbuilding/collaborative fiction forum. I really, really recommend that people check it out. There’s a lot more interaction between writers and readers, and the moderators are both elected and incredibly progressive.

As a final note, I’d recommend that everyone check out revolt.chat, an open-source version of Discord. It doesn’t have all of Discord’s core features yet, and it’s kind of laggy, but it is a way to step onto another platform where you have more control over what your user experience is like. You can also self-host it! I’m trying to avoid listing out software that you need to self-host, but it is an option for those who only want their data stored on their machine or the machine of a friend.

[unlani]

Add-on: When I’m recommending Revolt, it is for talking with your friends. If you want to make a community or a fandom hangout space or a roleplay or anything where you expect it to be more than you and five friends, make a forum.

Discord and its knock-offs are not easily archived. You can’t find it when using a search engine. You can’t have people read what happened before in the discussion. If you get banned, you can’t reread conversations unless you screenshotted them. I think many communities have been harmed by this lack of history trail. It’s a problem with Twitter and Tumblr too, but I think it’s more apparent on Discord because Discord is impossible to effectively archive. If we want knowledge to survive more than a few months, we need to store it places where people can get to it. 4chan, the website where it literally deletes stuff on purpose, is easier to find old stuff on than Discord is. I’m not eloquent enough to explain, but I have to stress that archiving stuff is very important. Pick apps and websites that let you do it. (Hell, at least Skype lets you download every groupchat you’ve ever been in, pictures included. I had to set up a custom bot to do that for my personal Discord.)

I don’t have a good suggestion for forum software. Make a proboards, I guess? It’s not perfect, but at least people can shove its annoying bloated UI into the wayback machine.
