#gender neutral pronouns

“Y’all motherfuckers” is a gender neutral speech opener

Unlike many other languages, both second/third person singular/plural pronouns are the same in English!

We have both a singular and plural “you” and “they”

If you’re not also going to complain about plural you, ya don’t get to complain about singular they.

Plus, I bet you use the singular they all the time

“Has the mailman come yet?” “No, they haven’t”

You’re not worried about grammar, ya’ll just want to hate on nb people for no reason


It’s been a while since the last time I’ve allowed myself to air my headspace here, and just “post like no-one’s watching”, but now seems like a good time; called upon by a need to escape this increasingly trapped feeling I am having from Dear Franchise pushing on to uncharted territories, into a seemingly narrower space in this certain specific field. In a sincere effort of inclusion, but perhaps quite misguidedly; seemingly unaware of the wider impact its chosen storytelling methods, language, character handling (and costuming choices) are having on the implied societal standards of this future human generation it seeks to represent; revealing itself not quite as universally ‘there yet’ as previously open to be perceived (if so disposed), but tied to approaches and attitudes recognizable to certain modern cultures.

Anyway. Following is not a Trek commentary specifically (even if fueled by), but a personal, abstract inner conversation on language and how it can limit the perception of identities in general; tie one’s expression and regard of self and others in varying knots specific to certain linguistic cultures.

Mind an uncurated ‘diary entry’ as if it was just that.

“Oh, there’s a third thing!”

No, there’s no ‘third thing’, or even 'other things’.

There is an infinity of 'thing’, which appears as like 'this or that’ to a so aligned language/mindset. And which then keeps 'othering’ those who do not fit into the limitations of that form of thinking/linguistics. Sometimes the language is that of the 'others’ themselves, too. And that’s fine, if it fits their situation/experience (but also if it doesn’t, all hopes on them getting to find out and/or reach beyond any self-limiting language/mindset).

As far as I’m personally concerned, there has never been definite 'this or that’ (other than what one sees fellow humans express, individually or collectively); spectrum seems a befitting definition here just as it is sometimes recognized in various other context as well. And one’s individual placement(s) on the spectrum is unique and for most purposes irrelevant (as often in other contextures, too).

At most optimal, one’s language should be free to address one and others regardless any of one’s or others’ placements on that spectrum (on any spectrum - at any given time). Some languages do allow that freedom; some languages are not set on the idea of this and that and them being the separating and identity defining markers we point at each other.

Language shapes so much of how we grow up to perceive ourselves, others, and the world around us. Being able do see and define oneself beyond and regardless of exact language is a gift, a freedom. And frankly a must, if one were ever to expand (or see) one’s identity beyond a single linguistic culture.

Outside this one, other languages are already speaking of you in terms, which do not necessarily correspond to your identity-tied pronoun. If you are either ‘she’ or ‘he’ there is no pronoun for you in my native language. As there is not in several others. In specific terms and/or in customary forms of addressing others.

And what us all in my native language get called by, has a far too rarely used(imho) and often disputed closest corresponding term in this here language. Increasingly disputed, even among the proponents of the pronoun’s wider recognition and/or usage.

3rd person singular ‘they’.

No, not the ‘nonbinary’ one (although…), but the olden, neutral definition.

 .

.  

Think, if it was our bodyshape which pronouns referred to; and one could either be (/ be called) fat or thin (’traditionally’). Nothing in between or around has a widely recognized title, or pronoun as it were. Regardless one’s shape/mass.

According to the popularly regarded binary, one can be either fat or thin. Or, to differentiate oneself from this established fat/thin thinking, one can choose the non-binary option. And to conform to the established way of thinking, that all defined masses/shapes need a corresponding pronoun, one chooses 'they/them’. It’s already in recognizable use after all (if for the purpose of required ambiguity).

So, there is language for thin, fat, and they. Thin or fat or they, people can be very touchy (of someone) being called anything other than their (supposedly) chosen ‘thin’ or ‘fat’ or ‘they’, respectively. Calling a thin or fat 'they’ (or goodness forbit fat 'thin’ or thin 'fat’) can really upset them… excuse me: can really upset thin or fat. Or them. Thin or fat or them can be upset by the language of your choosing (for oneself or ‘on behalf’ of someone else).

But, as alluded to before: all of these persons can be - and occasionally are - also called 'them’ - individually -, if one does not know better, or no definition can be made (or needs not to be made… which is where things seem to get tricky and debatable).

When one has grown up with a language and thought patterns tied to this ‘thin or fat’ paradigm, one is inclined to try and assess people’s supposed identifiers/identities as fat or thin (or them). But one can hardly know by oneself, can one? 

So, why not default to 'them’? The aforementioned ambiguous option?

Because nowadays, few some seem to suppose only they get to be called 'them’? Since 'they’ is their specific identity marker, to match and counter the pattern of the limited ‘thin or fat’ binary oriented language/thinking, then to call anyone else 'them’ would supposedly be missmassing/misshaping.

What then, of the people who are not - and/or do not identify as - fat or thin, but who also feel cast aside by this 'someone else’ definition of 'them’? What of those, who feel forced to abide by this fat/thin language and mindset altogether; forced to present oneself and regard others by their bodyshape - regardless of relevancy. What is the option for the ‘unshapely’ or the shapeless-minded, if all the naming is shape-defined?

There are people with muscular bodies, who are bulky or lean, there are petite, curvy or flat, lanky, skinny tall and build tall, square or round, soft or firm, fat or thin… Of all the infinite shapes and sizes of human variation, why pick out only fat and thin and divide/define whole of humanity with those two words? (As far as one’s language knows). Or then attach societal merits and expectations to those two named categories? Or their divergents.

If humanity was split to fat and thin, which do you think you yourself would be? (The specifics of actual societal implications free for you to imagine in this thought play: corresponding to actuality or made up). Would you be fine with any certain other person also identifying as fat or thin with you? If your mama were fat what would that make you? If your sibling was thin, would that change your identity? And how? If both any of you were called 'they’, would that not track?

Now imagine, if for whole of your life you had not felt fat or thin, and your language had not forced you (or most others you know) to pick a side; had not forced you to define and/or call yourself or others by the shape of your bodies; if you would be free of that bond, to be called ‘they’ same as everyone - regardless the infinity of obviously different bodyshapes/masses that you all are. How do you think, would you then feel, if someone suddenly said you must be either fat or thin, or else be 'other’ - a ‘non’ in a two-way system.

Technically, you’d still be called 'they’, as closest to your native ‘they’, but you’d know there’s difference in the meanings now, where 'they’ means 'other’ from thin or fat. And where thin or fat are definitely not 'them’ with you. (Even if they occasionally are, in fact, called 'they’).

Why rely on something as limiting as a 'fat or thin’ binary for defining the infinity of human variations to begin with? Why enforce that supposition by defining oneself as something based on that binary, but 'not of that’ binary?

Should people be expected to tackle with an increasing specificity of mass/shape defined pronouns to match each and every individual bodytype so as not to 'other’ anyone? (For which there already is a concept: given names).

Or should it be recognized, that without any naming by bodyshape/mass, ‘they’ are all equal?

That they are they are they. In addressing. All of them. Regardless of the variety of shapely identities that they have. Free from any binary-tied bondage.

How has your native tongue shaped your identity, or your perception of the world and people around you? How well do those translate to this here language?

”People who challenge gender norms are often dismissed as prioritizing “theory” over “reality.” This is historically incorrect. The reality is that Indigenous peoples across the world have long lived outside of the Western gender binary system. They were (and continue to be) forcibly assimilated into Western gender as a tactic of colonization …

Gender and sex cannot be discussed as universal concepts, they must be located within specific cultural systems, histories, and societies.“ - Alok Vaid-Menon

/ — i just thought of this and was like ‘ y e s ’ so ur welcome

  • you ? like to cook ?? they’re all over you the second they find out .
  • it has been way too long since they’ve had a proper meal . they’ve been dining on blood and take out , so they really need a change .
  • you make them a nice , home cook meal with whatever you can find . you end up having to start a tiny fire to cook the ingredients since they don’t exactly have stove tops in their cave—
  • paul and marko make a fucking mess . they say sorry , and you’re just like‍♀️

“c’mon babe, it’s just a spill!”

“i swear, i will cook with your blood if you make another mess.”

  • after the first meal , they want you to cook all the time . no matter where you are or what time of night , they’re dashing to your place ( or place in the cave ) for some food . they’re always hungry dude .
  • sometimes , if you’re angry at one of them , you’ll cook what they absolutely hate and they have no choice but to say ‘ yUmMy! ’ so you’re happy with them .
  • david adores fucking giant feasts , marko is a simp for sweet foods , and honestly paul and dwayne will eat anything . though they all love ( most of ) all your food !
  • dwayne will always tell you soft compliments about your food . honestly , anything you cook is his comfort food .
  • paul low key tries to be all romantic while cooking . you’ll just be mixing up a salad or something and the next thing you know , his arms are wrapped around your waist and he’s pulling you close to him .
  • if david helps you cook , he ain’t given out any hugs or anything . he’ll simply tease you instead .

“no hugs? please?”

“you just wrestled garlic. no thank you.”

  • if marko helps you , he will no doubt go off the recipe or ignore your instructions . he’s a wildcard of course , so chances are he ends up making a whole damn meal instead of a light snack .
  • and finally , dwayne loves to dish out kisses will cooking . honestly , he’ll do anything you say for kisses . he’s a stoic simp and you can’t deny it .
  • honestly , no matter what you cook , i can guarantee that all of them will at least make one flirty comment directed to you .

! …

/ — i went ahead and made this a headcannon , but if u want it as a fic , i can totally rewrite it lol

— @bratscore ( tysm for requesting ! <3 )

  • honestly , they don’t even know why you agreed to go on a date with them . yeah , they admit that they’re decently attractive and pretty popular too , but you ? what the hell did you see in them?
  • stu is all over you while billy is more reserved . both of them asked you out to the movies , and were totally thrilled when you said ‘ yes ’ .
  • you’re all watching a horror movie , of course . billy wanted to , and how could you say ‘ no ’ to him ? the retro theater was going to play poltergeist , and billy was not going to give up the opportunity to see it with you and stu .
  • do they offer to buy you popcorn ? yep . do they offer to get you soda and candy ? you know it . they really want you to like them , but they want to be subtle ( stu wasn’t so subtle , but he was sweet anyways ) .
  • if you flinch or get scared at any point , either billy or stu will make a cocky remark in some way .
  • “if you want, you can get closer to me.”
  • billy is super into it . if you try and make a move on him , it would have be a pretty big move to cause him to look away . you end up playfully pouting .
  • stu likes horror movies , just not as much as billy , so if you throw yourself at him in the theater he will die a happy man . he is totally willing to wrap an arm around you contently .
  • they take steal some of your snacks occasionally .
  • the theater has a tiny arcade too ! after the movie , you all head over to the arcade . billy honestly pouts a bit since he claims ‘ the movies are better than any arcade’ . stu tells him to stfu tho since he’s planning on winning you candy and stuffed animals .
  • after seeing how happy you are when stu won you prizes , billy feels low key jealous and is compelled to win you prizes too .
  • stu definitely teases him , and that his blushing is definitely his sign of jealousy .
  • you win stu a little stuffed animal and tease him . though stu’s comment meant that billy took the prize you won for him .

“c’mon man, that was mine!”

“you can get it back when you’re done being an idiot, so you’re never going to get it back in reality.”

  • yeah , they’re tossing tiny bitchy arguments into your first date . they honestly tried not to do so
  • after the arcade , they don’t want to drop you off at your house so soon , so they volunteer to get food at a cute cafe they thought you would like .
  • they of course pay for you , being a sweet yet broke bastards that they are . they keep stealing your food though . that will honestly never change in your relationship .
  • when you head back to your house with the two of them , they look pretty sad to see you go . they honestly can’t wait for monday to come so they can see you again . calling you just isn’t the same for them .
  • you quickly peck them both on the cheek before heading inside . when you peaked out the window , billy was wearing a grin as stu had this dopey smile on his face .
  • it’s safe to say a second date was in the works after that .

/ — young matthew broderick was too good

— @bratscore ( tysm for requesting ! <3 )

  • let me get this out of the way — the man is ecstatic literally so much , wtf have you done to him ?
  • you guys probably go a couple of the local fairs in the area . throughout the time , ferris buys a ton of food and tickets so you guys go to almost every ride .
  • he definitely did ring toss and won you a stuffed animal . you ended up getting this tiny little pink elephant plushie , which he is very proud he won .
  • did i say anything about compliments ? ‘cause ferris is telling you compliments every hour ( okay , well not every hour , but it certainly does feel that way ) .
  • the first kiss is on the ferris wheel . he places a quick kiss on your cheek when your head was turned , facing the window and the people below . you grin and kiss him on the lips as quick as he did before . he ends up sitting next to you on the ferris wheel when you go on it again .
  • tons of hand holding and dumb jokes ensue .

“this is so weird.”

“what?”

“my hand seems to be glued to yours.”

  • there’s a little paint ball area , so you both head over there , change into the solid white outfits , and start throwing paint at each other . the whole ordeal is reminiscent of the scene in ten things i hate about you . you hopefully know what i’m talking about
  • ferris can’t stop telling you cheesy romance lines . he loves your slightly embarrassed face whenever he tells them to you .
  • all the snacks you guys get are paid evenly among you . ferris tried to be a gentleman and pay for the both of you , but you wouldn’t let him . so , you both emptied your wallets out on each other .
  • you both paint pumpkins ! though ferris does flick you with some blue paint …
  • you guys check out the antique collection too ! ferris would never tell you , but he truly wants to buy you a fancy necklace as beautiful as the antiques some day .
  • he takes the time to fall in love with you even more as your face lights up at the antiques . when you get excited , or intrigued , or any emotion in the antique tent , he just has this wonderful feeling deep in his chest . he never wants you to stop smiling .
  • you and ferris see the pig races as well . initially , you didn’t want to see it . there were other rides that you liked much better , but ferris wanted to see it . you really didn’t want to deprive him , so you two went to see the pig races . this caused a tiny bit of mud to be added with the paint on your clothes ( after that , ferris would chuckle and apologize at the same time ) .
  • when you have to go , ferris walks you back home . kidding ! he probably asked cameron to lend him the crimson ferrari . so , he drives you home , you say your goodbyes , and tell each other that you’d love to do this again some time .
  • though he felt so guilty about the mud and paint thing . not only did you get a pink elephant , you also got a new article of clothing the next day at school .

/ — there is definitely not enough neo content out there yenno ✊

— @bratscore ( tysm for requesting ! )

  • before dating neo , you probably met him and instantly fell for him on the nebuchadnezzar . you really didn’t want to be with him just for the looks , though . so throughout missions , you made it your duty to get to know him .
  • neo also got to know you too ! he fell for your looks and cute personality , but as soon as he fully trusted you and knew your intentions , he learned that he was completely in love with you .
  • you had to ask him out first since he was too much of a chicken . morpheus may or may not have teased him for this , which neo will probably never live down .
  • the first date is in a simulation that you may or may not have forced mouse to make .
  • honestly , the nebuchadnezzar really isn’t that cute , so you kind of had no choice . mouse didn’t really mind anyways . i mean , he looks like he really admires neo—
  • it was a nice little candle light dinner ! neo was of course a gentle man the whole time . you swore mouse would make sure none of the others knew , but that didn’t stop trinity from taking a tiny peak .
  • during nights where he can’t sleep , he probably shares your bed . no sexual actions occur , it’s just the two of you having meaningful and jokingly dumb conversations at like , one a.m.
  • he will definitely want to be on missions that you go on . he can’t help it . neo is just scared for your well being like that .
  • if you almost die during a mission , he will absolutely get in an argument with you . you end up making a bunch of promises that neo will always remind you of .
  • neo is always going to want to be the big spoon . he would be fine with being the little spoon , but the thought of you being in his arms is a thought that he really loves . bonus points if he gets to play with your hair as you guys spoon . it’s just really calming for him .
  • he spars with you in simulations ! partially to make sure that you can take care of yourself , and partially because he just wants to spend time with you no matter what . mouse and the others watch the sparring , and are pleasantly surprised when you kick your boyfriend’s ass . he is a bit embarrassed about that …
  • “uh, good job [n/n], but your opponents won’t trip up like me.”
  • “well,maybe you shouldn’t have been so cocky.”
  • expect him to try and get you little gifts . out of missions and training simulations , he will definitely try and find you cool stuff . you talked about a super cute lava lamp ? he’s gonna stop hanging out with you to find it . you said something about missing your rubics cube from your childhood ? he’s scavenging for it right now as we speak .
  • he loves to tease and flirt with you occasionally . sometimes in front of the others , sometimes not . he doesn’t do it all the time , but when it happens , your heart is melting . one time after he won in the simulation against you , you probably will never forget his confident remarks .
  • “if you want, i’ll let you win at other things, y’know~”
  • he reads to you ! when he scavenges for trinkets for you , he also finds raggedy books that look interesting , which prompts him to ask to read it to you at night . he just knocks on your door , says that he “can’t sleep” with the book in his hands , and you already know what’s gonna happen .
  • though no matter how busy your days are on the ship , he definitely will find some way to make time for you .

! …

/ — sorry not sorry , i love them so much

also , my inbox is dry ! send in requests if u have them ! :)

  • y’all will probably attempt to save up money to head to a concert together . they promise you that if they choose the band / artist , you choose next time ! though if you like rock music , you shouldn’t have too much to worry about . they’ll choose either van halen , ac/dc , or some other great rock group !
  • but since all of you are broke teens , going to places like 7/11 and circle k are the most common . you guys often buy slushees and junk food before sitting on the curb and bonding over stupid stuff .
  • “do you ever think about if the time traveling stuff was a dream?”
  • “woah, dude, you could be onto something…”
  • “guys, how did we have the same dream?”
  • when either ted’s or bill’s parents’ are gone , you guys have a sleepover ! which of course consists of listening to rock music , watching horror movies that they rented , and them trying to show off their guitar playing skills .
  • all three of you guys have tried to dye each other’s hair with kool-aid at either one of their houses at some point . ted needed to buy some bleach for his hair since surprise surprise , he’s a brunet . the kool-aid idea backfired and you cackled when some of bill’s curls became multi colored . i’m talking red , blue , and a weird brown color on every curl . thank god it was washed out .
  • after that , he pouted and sulked for a solid three days before he managed to get most of the dye out .
  • you all tried baking a cake as a date idea one evening after school . your boyfriends ended up accidentally getting a bunch of flour on your hair and clothes ( courtesy of ted , who claims that the flour dumping was for bill ) . though they helped you do almost every step , minus the ones with flour .
  • board games ! they both team up to beat you at monopoly , though you excel at battleship . during twister , they were kind of pervy but you beat them anyways with your ✨beautiful s/o charm✨
  • they try to teach you how to skateboard at some point , which causes you to fall many times or you get right away , depending on how himbo you actually are .
  • they have watched drama movies with you at the local theater . the three of you went to watch ‘steel magnolias’ and they refuse to admit they cried . you could hear sniffling noises and tiny sobs , which broke your heart and amused you at the same time . after the movie , you bought them snacks to try and cheer them up ( which didn’t really work but they appreciated it anyways )
  • “thanks babe, but this doesn’t change the fact that *sob* that movie was most non triumphant…”
  • expect cute little picnics at the park ! they tried to make food , but they ended up buying fast food and just made it seem like they cooked it—
  • honestly , no matter what you guys do for dates , these himbos always make it fun .

Author’s Note: I am aware that there are so people out there that own plushies, because it’s helps them a lot, so I thought that I should write something for them! <3

◙ Hanzo may seems like he’s a very judgemental person, but in reality he’s pretty understanding 

◙ You were aware of that, but you just were ready to tell him that you own a stuffies

◙ Having them was helping you a lot, they were part of your safe space and you couldn’t image not having them

◙ You were happy to own and your friends knew you owned them and supported you

◙ You just were worried how Hanzo would react 

◙ So when you and Hanzo started living together you were completely nervous

◙ He noticed it, of course and asked about it, but you just told him not to worry

◙ Some time later, he found them in your shared closed

◙ He came to you after finding them, asking who you bought them for

◙ His first thought was that you bought them for some kid from your family

◙ You turned completely red when you saw Hanzo holding them

◙ “Those are mine, Hanzo.”

◙ He looked surprised, but said nothing, seeing how anxious you were, he just gave them to you and gave you some space, seeing you need it

◙ Later he came to you, seeing you in bed with one of your stuffies, he asked about it

◙ He wasn’t sounding like he was disappointed he was curious about them

◙ You explained the whole thing to him

◙ And he understood 

◙ “Do they have names?” He couldn’t help himself

◙ He was happy to listen 

◙ Of course, Hanzo was supportive 

◙ He even bought you one stuffie, because it reminded him of you 

◙ Because of you, he was thinking about getting stuffies too (Let’s be honest, this dude has trauma)

Overwatch Boys comforting their s/o during panic attack

Decided to write after being inspired by @sunshineistyping​ Monty one shot, I requested it and I’m in love with and it got me inspired to write this
Here’s a link if someone would like to read it! ^^
Warnings: Panic attack
image

Genji Shimada

⋆ Genji knows how to deal with panic attacks, because he was experiencing them when he was in Blackwatch

⋆ Whenever he was having a panic attack, he was going to Angela, because he trusted her and she was a doctor, and knew how to deal with it

⋆ He picked up some things from her, when she was calming him down, so now he knows what he should do

⋆ When you have a panic attack, he would take his mask off, so it would be easier for you to focus on breathing with him

⋆ He took off his mask and focused his eyes on you. “Hey, look at me.” He grabbed your hands, squeezing them lightly, speaking softly. “Breath in…” He took a deep breath and you followed. “And out. One more time, okay?”

⋆ Genji is not leaving you until he knows you’re okay

⋆ As soon as you’re breathing is under control, he’ll ask what happened. You don’t have to tell him if you don’t want to, he’s going to respect that

⋆ He’s going to give a hug and will ask what would cheer you up 

image

Hanzo Shimada

⋆ Hanzo is similar to Genji, he has experienced panic attacks, but he didn’t have anyone to comfort him

⋆ So he’s gonna a bit lost when it happens, but he’s gonna do his best to help you

⋆ He’s going to gently hold you his arms, whispering things to help you calm down

⋆ “I’m here, darling. I’m not leaving you, everything’s gonna be alright.” He murmured, kissing the top of your head, hoping it would help at least a bit

⋆ He’ll wipe your tears away, while asking if there’s anything he could for you to help you

⋆ When you’re calm and feel better, Hanzo will bring you some water

image

Cole Cassidy

⋆ He knows a bit about them, because once saw Genji having panic attack during blackwatch times and decide to help him

⋆ He’s going to help with calming your breathing 

⋆ He can also give his poncho if you feel like hiding from the world (even his hat if you really want)

⋆ “You’re safe pumpkin, it’s gonna be okay.” He whispered, kissing your forehead

⋆ And joking to cheer you up

image

Gabriel Reyes/Reaper

⋆ He may seem like rough man, but when you’re crying and shaking, he’s soft and gentle

⋆ Holding your hands, helping you breathe

⋆ You can hide your face in his chest if you wish

image

Lucio Corrieira dos Santos

⋆ Lucio was quite lost when you happened to have a panic attack, but that doesn’t mean he would leave you

⋆ He would hold you close to him, murmuring random song to distract you

⋆ “I’ve got you, ____.”

⋆ When you calm down, he would softly ask if you want to talk about this, of course respecting if you would say no

⋆ But he’s still gonna bring up the topic later, he’s just worried about you and wants to help you

image

Jamison Fawkes/Junkrat

⋆ He has on idea what to do honestly 

⋆ When it happened for the first time, he was panicking a bit, because he had no idea what he should do

⋆ Right after he made sure you were okay, he went to Mako to ask him what he should do next time this happens

⋆ Mako explained it all to him, so next time you would get panic attack, Jamison would be prepared 

⋆ He did his best to help with calming down your breathing

“You’re doing amazing, mate. Just one more time.” He kept you close to him, in case you wanted a hug

Felt like I should write it - Genji and Reader are both 18 years old

Warning: Kidnapping, Murderer, Stalking, A bit of NSFW, It’s kinda brutal 

image

❥ Believe me or not, but Young Genji is much more brutal than Blackwatch or Current Genji

❥ He’s ready to kill everybody. And when I say everybody, I mean absolutely everybody

❥ Your parents are complete assholes? He can get rid of them if you want!

❥ Person from your class is flirting with you and you’re uncomfortable with that? Somehow they’ve been hit by a train right after school!

❥ There’s a teacher you hate? Don’t worry, they’ll disappear in the next 24 hours

❥ If someone is too much into you, the last thing they’ll see is Genji, his katana and bodies of people he murdered for you

❥ He keeps all of the bodies in the Shimada Castle underground and it’s a miracle nobody found them

❥ Talking about being a part of Shimadas - because Genji’s family is pretty rich and knows a lot of people, it’s easy for him to get out of trouble. No matter what will he do and how much his family will not like it, they will not let anyone know (luckily they still don’t know, somehow)

❥ If he doesn’t has anyone to get rid of, he’ll make sure you get home safe. Eventually will find an excuse to go with you

❥ Of course he has a small place where he likes to sit and watch after you enter your house. He has a great view for room

❥ When he gets some nice views, he takes a pictures of you. Mostly after taking them, he’s touching himself to them as soon as he’s back in his room

❥ When you weren’t at your house, he stole some things of yours to get off to them later

❥ He also has a small room dedicated to you, where he keeps your picture and things he stole from you

❥ At school, he’s nice to you and a bit flirty. He does his best to make you feel like he’s the best person you know

❥ The amount of times kidnapping you came to his head is a lot, he is very impatient, but he’s aware that if he wants to do it well, he has to wait for good moment and be ready for it

❥ When it eventually happens, Genji is prepared for every possibility

❥ At first he planned to kidnapping you straight from your bedroom, but after thinking, he decided to do when it’s going to be dark, so nobody will see it

❥ Once you’re finally his, he won’t let you go

❥ He gave you a nice room in Shimada Castle underground

❥ He keeps you tied, because even though he loves you, he doesn’t trust you

❥ Calls you cute pet names and acts like he’s your boyfriend 

❥ I mentioned that he’s pretty brutal, it can go towards you if you won’t be nice to him, try to escape or be aggressive and hurt him

❥ He won’t hurt you seriously unless you make him angry, like really angry

❥ Using his shurikens to leave deep cuts on your face and your body, stabbing your thighs till you beg for mercy, he’s pretty creative with punishments for you

❥ He’s careful

❥ He will hurt you, but not enough to kill you

❥ And he calls you a “bad pet” and things similar to this

❥ Genji waits till you’re begging for mercy, start to faint or start losing too much blood, before he starts patching you up

❥ While he’s patching you up, he’ll say that he’s sorry, but tell that it’s your fault for making him angry and you should never do that again

❥ Since he’s obsessed with you, he’ll get you almost everything you ask for

❥ Comfortable bed? You got it! Your favorite meal? On it’s way! Need some new clothes? He’s on his way to get them for you!

❥ Wanna go outside? Don’t even think about asking that. Best possible scenario is him trying to explain to you why it’s the best for you to stay with him

❥ When you would be too loud he would tape your mouth or put gag on you

❥ When you would be mean and he wouldn’t want to hurt you, he would leave completely alone in your room and come back hours or even days later to “make you miss him”

❥ Most days, he doesn’t leave your sight. Genji is very cuddly and he tries to show you how much he loves you

❥ Even though he might be a monster, he would never pressure you into things like sex or kissing. He might a bad person, but he has boundaries

❥ If you would be interested in having sex with him, he’s willing to fulfill your every fantasy and make you enjoy yourself

❥ Of course you can stop him at any moment 

❥ If you’re going to gain his trust, he might show you bodies of all the people he killed for you. Telling you it’s a “surprise”

❥If you would end up passing out or having a panic/anxiety attack after seeing that, he would leave the room with you to help you calming down or just anything to make you feel better

❥ If you would end up yelling at for killing people, Genji would be quiet before getting you back to your room and go get his emotions out (he would either go training his ninja skills or hurt someone)

❥ If would somehow escape from Shimada Castle, Genji will do anything to get you back

❥ Going to your house, your favorite places

❥ He won’t stop searching for you until you’re his again

Genji is a romantic guy, you should definitely expect him to give you gifts for no occasion or taking you out for dates

✧ He’s very cuddly, so on day when both you don’t have to go to work, he won’t let you leave bed too early

✧ Kitchen is his place, he loves to cook and he’s absolute master at it! Got any requests? Just get him the ingredients he needs and he’ll make you your favorite dish! 

✧ Of course Genji enjoys cooking with you, byt he still prefers do it on his own 

✧ And after preparing a meal, romantic dinner is a must! Especially when you’re coming back from work and tired, dinner made by boyfriend is the thing you need

✧ Very important thing - Genji will not let you touch his weapons. Not because he doesn’t like them being touched, (of course he hates when strangers try to touch them) but he’s just afraid you would hurt yourself, na matter if you know how to use weapons or not

✧ Get ready for listening for a lot stories. About his youth, Overwatch, Blackwatch, travels and everything before he met you. He just really wants you to know him fully, because he doesn’t want to hide who he was then and who he is now

✧ He won’t admit it, but he absolutely loves when you kiss his visor. You’ll always get a giggle from him for doing so

✧ Sometimes he has bad days, because of everything that happened to him and all he needs is you, so hug him, tell him you love him and be with him when he needs you to

✧ Of course, he will be with you whenever need him. He’s also willing to leave alone if you tell him to, Genji won’t pressure anything. He knows that if want to talk about something, you’ll come to him

✧ After spending a lot of time with his master, Zenyatta, Genji learned how important is communication. He does his best to show you how necessary it is to talk. Trust me, talking with him about your relationship or just in general will make your relationship great

✧ If you ever wanted to have some late night conversations, Genji’s perfect for it. He’s not getting tired easily, because he’s cyborg and he just absolutely spending night like this

✧ Does Genji ever get jealous? Of course. He’s completely aware that you won’t cheat on him, but the way some people look at you or flirt with you, just make him wanna send them a death glare and take you away from them 

✧ He’s an amazing kisser! Genji has a lot of experience when it comes to kissing, so you won’t be disappointed. If you never kissed anyone before, he has no problem with teaching you how to do it

✧ Even though Genji is very good at kissing, his kisses can feel a little rough, because has a few scars across his lips

✧ He has some scars across his face and his body and he just loves when kiss them, because it really makes him feel loved, accepted and safe, especially after everything that happened to him

✧ You’re one of not many people who are allowed to see him without his visor, because he feels safe enough to show his face to you

✧ Sometimes when Genji wants to intimate with you (not just sex) he would take off some of his armor so you can touch his skin. It’s great for cuddles! But don’t tell anyone, it’s a secret

✧ Going shopping with him is kinda fun, kinda not. He sometimes acts like a parent. Example - “We don’t need more sweets, koibito. We got them at home." 

✧ Breakfast in bed? Oh absolutely!

✧ Of course with Genji coming to your live, his dragon Soba comes with him. She’s just as cute as her owner, but she really like to cause trouble and destroy cups, so keep them away from her

✧ Genji is a very supportive lover! He’ll support no matter what, unless your decision are harmful or illegal 

✧ If you have any problems with anxiety, depression and stuff like that, he will go to therapist with you. (unless you don’t want him to, he’ll respect your decision) He’ll also try to help the way Zenyatta helped him, so for example he’ll ask you to meditate with him 

✧ Talking about meditation - Genji meditates at least once a day. He doesn’t mind you joining, but he preferres when it’s quiet when his meditating

✧ Did I mention that Genji is a gentleman? No matter what gender you are, he’ll be a total gentleman

✧ He’s very gentle with you. Genji is sometimes afraid that he might hurt you, because he’s a cyborg. It never happened, but he’s still afraid 

✧ If you ever want to dye your hair, Genji is ready to help with it! When he was younger, he dyed his hair a lot and it was mostly bright colors, so you can say he’s an expert. Just make sure to secure most of his armor, cuz dye is not going to leave quickly 

Got bored so here we are, writing about huge blue boy. Since lately I don’t feel like writing one shots, (kick my ass for that) I’m giving you more headcanons. BTW this Monday I start practics in my city and idk I’ll have energy or time to write anything so please be aware of that. So there might no post for a whole month. Sorry about that, I just want to get a good grade.

how-to-make-mistakes:

Today I learnt, completely on accident, of the word ve(/vi/, possessive vis, objective vim), a separate English pronoun equivalent to singular they, first proposed by feminists in 1864 and used in a number of novels published throughout the 20th century (x)

In her Master’s thesis from 1991 (Solving the Great Pronoun Problem), Kelly Ann Sippell provided an extensive list of gender-neutral third-person singular pronouns that had been proposed over the previous hundred and fifty years. This list included, but was not limited to, hes, hiser, hem, ons, e, heer, he’er, hesh, se, heesh, herim, co, tey, per, na, en, herm, em, hir, and shey.

THIS why I say they are “gender neutral pronouns”, “neutral pronouns”, “nonbinary pronouns”, or even “xenopronouns”.

Theyaren’t “neopronouns”. There’s nothing “new” about them and something that’s built to last shouldn’t be defined by its “newness” anyway.

This young girl uses “los,” “las” and the gender-neutral “les” — watch her explain why. —from REMEZCLA on twitter.

to all the cowards who whine “how will i explain it to my kids??” i say: how about you shut up and let your kids explain it to you.

“Ma’am, you don’t have to be a lawyer to defend someone else” wow she snapped

This girl has my undying respect because of this, the courage to stand up to friends and authority at that age to defend the rights of trans is beautiful and worth everyones respect to her
