Random Linguistic Worldbuilding: A Language With Six Sets Of Pronouns, Which Are Set By One's Current

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

Happy birthday, Kermit the Frog!!

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

This is what I have so far, tho feel free to give me some feedback since I'm not exactly the best at writing...

---------

I used to hate working on Saturdays; the weekend was supposed to be for relaxing, not work. However, since I worked at a Walmart of all places, that didn't really matter. If I was lucky I got to work in the back or restocking shelves. I'm not very lucky on Saturdays.

Dealing with Karen's entitled attitude because something isnt on clearance, someone trying to purposely try to misgender me, and being called a slur is super tiring if I'm being honest. it's not something I'm exactly built for, but I need the money.

If I'm being honest though, one of the few good things that happens on a Saturday shift is the skeleton monster that started to show up. I always forget to ask for their name though.

Like clockwork they come in around 12:30am and go to fill a cart with mostly ketchup, spaghetti pasta, and hotdogs. Then They would come to the register I'm at specifically, before proceeding to pay with literal gold, make a skeleton pun, and disappear somehow.

Sometimes our interactions are longer, and sometimes they are shorter. Either way, It always makes me cheer up whenever I see them. We both have a broken sense of humor so that could be why. Or it could be something else, I don't really know. I do know that I don't hate having to work on Saturdays that much anymore. It's kinda nice.

Hypothetically, if I wrote a queer-platonic sans x reader, And said reader was also

- gender queer

- a person of color (Latino specifically)

- and neurodivergent

Would anyone read it?

I'd make it regardless, cuz I just want some representation

But would anyone read it??
