how to: noe's pronouns

+

+ Hello there! One might've just asked, "How in the heck do your pronouns work?"... It's complex, but maybe really simple. +

+

and yes, you've stumbled upon a weirdo with "pronouns"! we might even exist!

+
+

+This one is an "it/its" and "3pp pref" (third-person pronouns preferred) creature! It will commonly refer to itself in 3rd person, and would like others to try the same. Some phrases are Hard to switch to 3rd person, such as "thank you!", and other times "you" is just easier! +

+ +

+noe is acutely aware of the difficulty it's asking. Please do what feels best! If one can refer to noe without personalized pronouns, that would make it very happy!~ +

+ +

how does one refer to noe?

+

+ With love, of course!~ The following sections "expand" into examples of use. These examples assume the reader uses first person pronouns to self-refer. +

+

+Please use: +

+ + +

what if depersonalizing noe is too difficult?

+

+ That is O.K.! Anyone gets a free pass if a creature finds it difficult. +

+

+ This one goes by traditional "she/her/hers" in a professional setting. Be aware though... noe will likely treat you professionally if you use those; and less like a "friend". It can't help that, you'll need to be fine with that. +

+ +

bonus: how will noe refer to itself?

+

+Very carefully! It will usually speak as if it is not onesself, such as in third person. This one will refer to itself as it has in this entire page. Sometimes, it will do some creative things to English to ensure the point gets across, such as stripping beginning pronouns ("I went to the..." becomes "went to the"), or either collectivizing or personalizing pronouns that might not otherwise need special treatment +

+

+ noe may use the royal "we" or "us" to refer to itself as stand-in for first-person singular pronouns. It sometimes means headmates too, but sometimes not~ +
