OCs whose name/pronouns people always get wrong

PRONOUNS

Malachi goes by exclusively they/them, and people call them she/her for some reason, even though their pronouns are the second thing you see in their profile. It kinda irks me. Maybe it's the hair? Not an excuse though.

(That's pretty much it for pronouns since I'm not too active in the character side of the forums.)

NAMES

Malachi again. It's really me who pronounces their name wrong- it's supposed to be Mala-KAI (they were named for the gemstone Malachite which is the color of their hair) but I keep pronouncing it Mala-KEY in my head. Poor Mal. You're always misunderstood. Even by your creator.

Charoite has a sh sound (like in charades) not a ch (like in chair) or a k (like in character). I have to keep reminding myself that.

LESATH omfg
They're non-binary and use they/them, but I keep messing up and using he/him as well as they/them. So I kinda retconned the pronouns, heh. But honestly, I don't think they'd mind any pronouns, they're pretty chill about most stuff.

Oh hecc I've got a few. Let's see, as for pronouns-

https://toyhou.se/2510509.-ryan- Ryan gets misgendered A LOT (which is kinda infuriating, tbh, since his pronouns are right on his page AND his name is... pretty commonly a male name). Granted, I realize that if you were to just see his art without looking at his name or his page, there could be some confusion but still.

https://toyhou.se/1989233.-nyx- Nyx also often gets misgendered. While he's fairly androgynous, he's still generally depicted as male.

As for name mispronunciation-

https://toyhou.se/39896.-millo-fergus- Poor Millo has her name pronounced wrong ALL THE TIME, despite me having the pronunciation shown in multiple places. Her full name is Colmillo ("fang" in Spanish) and is therefore pronounced "Cole-mee-yoh" (so her shortened name is just "mee-yoh"), but she gets called Mill-ow (like pillow) all the time.

https://toyhou.se/3288547.-flocci- Again, another character in which I have the pronunciation listed. People usually pronounce it like "Flaw-chi". It's actually meant to be pronounced like "Flossy".

https://toyhou.se/1581317.-jakhi- This one I'll take the blame on. People tend to pronounce his name like Jack-y, whereas it's actually meant to be more like "Jockey" (with kinda a French pronunciation on the J, like in Jaques)

I personally really don't care for the whole pronoun thing but my character Bunny here's gender/pronoun in unknown so they go by they/them but commonly gets mistaken for a guy or a girl and drawn with womanly features.

Wow I thought I'd posted here but I guess? Not??

Anyway, Paeton is my most misgendered OC. They pretty much always get called by male pronouns and it's... it's upsetting but I've also come to expect it at this point bc I guess people associate plague doctors with men? god I don't know _sigh

Lots of people mistake Board for a girl. I wanted to make him similar to my other characters cause they were a part of a ‘mass produced’ robot line so I wanted to make them all look similar. So I guess he did end up looking female at the end of it all?

ANGELO for sure i have NO idea why this happens (maybe her name??) but everyone constantly thinks she's a boy and use he/him for her? it doesnt bother me a lot but i just think its really funny esp bc she was originally designed to be the typical like. super uwu cutesy catgirl. sorry angelo your charms dont work

Even when I tell people he's just a crossdresser people keep drawing him trans...

i don’t care if he looks like a girl, KAREN.

LITERALLY HE IS A CIS MAN BUT PRESENTS FEMININELY!! :”)) his pronouns are stated in his profile aND on his character sheet yet my DM and almost all the other players during the session call him “she” or “it”. IM GONNA BITE SOMEONE I SWEAR

Snap has been mistaken for a male on several occasions... i mean i guess i can see why but shes more androgynous than anything, ive just had her so long that it baffles me
