@Greg Egan pronouns: Oh, that's nice. But I'll just stick to using they/their/them pronouns to refer to such people.

I'm gonna keep associating your Spidergod with Anansi, since he's applicable.

[disclaimer for any nonexistent tropers who worship Anansi]

Did Anansi create the universe? I thought Anansi was a trickster god. Spidergod is not a trickster. Spidergod is a champion of the downtrodden nonbinary-gendered victims of patriarchal cisgendered oppression.

Also, wow willie, I'm legitimately a little irked by that reaction

>I use ve/ver/vis pronouns without any insistence that others do the same

>someone asks me about them

>I explain

>third party jumps in with unwarranted patronizing "Oh, that's nice, but I'm not going to use them"

Like I already assume nobody is ever going to use them, you don't need to explicitly inform me of that

Like I don't walk up to random people on the street and tell them "I am not going to take off my clothes and poop on the street in front of you" because presumably they can already assume that I'm not going to do that

He did create the universe. He has more than one role.

But he's also a trickster, right?

Yes. That's his primary thing.

He's basically Loki if he were a spider. Or, he's Coyote/Raven/Fox if he were a spider. Take your pick.

Okay, so Spidergod is definitely not Anansi. Ve doesn't believe in deception. Occasionally whimsy. And also is nonbinary-gendered.

Ah, okay.

Not that any of this matters because we will never see ver again.

Perhaps y'all would like to meet Waspgod, though. She's pretty chill.

At least the pronouns aren't "spiderself" pronouns or something.

Right

That's another of the reasons I didn't mention why I like the v-pronouns: They're concise. Like pronouns should be.

I just use singular 'they'.

Yeah, I prefer concise pronoun-y pronouns.

Lots of the "nounself" ones don't parse as pronouns to me.

"Ve" pronouns are just fine.

Yeah, I don't mind neopronouns that are just like "xe" or "ze" or "ve" or something like that, I prefer singular they as a gender neutral pronoun (because it's already a word) but will respect invented ones that actually fucking look like pronouns.

now iz be not undrstandin this shit rite here

To be honest if you're using like, "kit" or "bun" I'm gonna parse it as a nickname before realizing "oh that's supposed to be a pronoun".

I tend to default to "singular they" if I don't know someone's gender/pronouns.

Anyway........

Dusty went under the bed again.

'Cause I accidentally startled her.

She should probably come out soon.
