Canon Pronouns? Hm. It/he?…
“It” from those who feared me, respected me- viewed me as an immovable object- a monster, a god.
“He” from those I invited closer. Those I offered my words without my fangs, and my loyalty and care. Or those who assumed they were good enough for that.
I so desperately WISH it was so now, but no one looks at a very human male stranger and goes “It” So He/Him it is. But anytime someone decides to try and ‘be rude’ because of my gothic or punk appearances- try to dehumanise me and mock me with “It”, I smile with all my fangs inside at how much respect they have unknowingly shown. I am no human to you, stranger. And that’s exactly how I like it.
