@Forestofglory @thalassa was very impressed with this fic for simultaneously explicating all the reasons behind my my discomfort with the “and then WWX went to Cloud Recesses with LWJ and got married and lived there forever and was super happy” ending fandom likes to peddle while simultaneously arranging matters so that WWX actively wanting to return to cloud recesses and live there at the end of the fic felt like a healthy life choice

@Betty we will sing songs in your honor for your valorous deeds

@naye yeah esp when we usually visit (just before the solstice) its usually gotten a lot of rain and its not too hot yet so everything is just in full-on growth mode. Its so wonderful

@wallhackio @aescling it was a good post!

@JessMahler yeah definitely do not want to mix up Mentha spicata & Mentha pulegium!

@soph_sol @yesterdaychild @Betty personally I would never refer to a person with it unless they’d explicitly requested it, but I’m not bothered by its application to animals generally—even ones with more obvious sex markers like chickens

@yesterdaychild @Betty @soph_sol there are definitely cultures where babies under a certain age get inanimate pronouns! you even see it sometimes in older english texts (and heldover in stock phrases like “is it a girl or a boy?”)
