OCs whose name/pronouns people always get wrong

Posted 5 years, 3 months ago (Edited 5 years, 3 months ago) by fuelli

Show me your characters whose name and/or pronouns people always get always wrong! Because we all know that's the kind of thing that happens, be it on the website itself (esp. forum games), off-site, or even in real-life! Are some characters of yours more prone to this than others, and why/how? And how do you usually reacts when it happens?


Sharkling Nonnavlis

Sharkling technically uses both they/them and she/her pronouns but it does amuse me (in a way that’s only kinda funny) that no matter how many times I refer to them with they/them pronouns, or how up on queer stuff the other person I am speaking with is, Sharkling only ever gets referred to by others with she/her.

I don’t mind especially and I haven’t corrected anyone because I’d feel awkward about it, but I’m planning several other characters with neutral pronouns so that should be interesting haha.

PrinceTiramisu

mochi likes wearing dresses but is a boy. he does look verry feminine so i can understand when people mistake him for a girl  the first time they see him. in universe he doesnt get to mad when people mistake him for a girl cos hes kind of used to it

Arielle Blythe Rainbow000Pegasus

I don't blame them, on certain days I also call Arielle a male, sometimes a female, though they go by neutral pronouns.
Being someone who's trying to see where they fit, they don't care about pronouns.
The first time I introduced Arielle, everyone thought they were a female.
Again, I don't blame them. For a moment I thought so too.
Once it was revealed they were biologically male, everyone kept apologising for misgendering them, which wasn't actually an issue to me or the character, because, as said, they're still exploring what it means to be female or male.
Though after that they started calling Arielle by feminine pronouns again-

They did grow up under guise of a female though.

Void Thornheartless

Void here has no assigned sex like all demons in my character universe and identify as genderless, using they/them pronouns

A lot people have referred to them as male or with he/him pronouns despite the fact that since I first made Void they'd always had they/them pronouns used for them

 Chocolate Sauce Cookie entipikal

A lot of people refer to Sauce with she/her pronouns. I can see it, the hair mostly, but they use they/them, and although I don't mind at all it can get a little annoying to see the vitiligo-like markings under their eye to be mistaken for eyelashes-

Entropy Mossolith

Entropy is often referred to using he/him pronouns when really their pronouns are either they/them, she/her or even just it. I commonly use each of those pronouns when talking about them, but male pronouns just don't feel right for them. Its slightly annoying when someone messes it up but I don't correct them or feel too bothered about it. Their a genderless creature and probably wouldn't care about it themselves if someone were to call them the wrong pronouns in front of their face. I think the reason people mess up so much is because they don't read Entropy's character information and assume they're male based on their design, which can be seen as more masculine then feminine I guess. 


Percival the Mink VioletVulpini

Percy uses he/him but is often mistaken as a chick because of his fashion choices (both in-universe and by others irl lol). Genuinely he just really likes makeup and dresses, and makes a melodramatic upset when he is misgendered, though it happens so often that he really only considers it a nuisance. 

Sam sirKnight69

If I had a dollar for every time Sam has been called a girl, istg. My friends used to call him a trap but honestly???? Last I checked traps don't have neckbeards and happy trails, thanks guys. 

Tempest 🚬 EmptyProxy

So, s o many people have called Tempest male, that I just find it more amusing than anything now. (She goes by she/her pronouns if anyone's curious!!)
