Why not just the name and important relationships to other characters (i.e. JANE, office manager at MeetingsCorp)? It works fine for plays.

I wonder if you've just come up with something like a third axis for that. Maybe "Circumstantial" vs. "Inherent", i.e. Circumstantial Chaotic Neutral (might have gone a different way if the environment wasn't so screwy)? Taking it in a different direction could give "Indifferent" vs. "Committed", like Indifferent…

What's an unsexy gun? A blunderbuss?

I've only looked at a couple of film scripts, but if those are any indication, male characters would be described in terms of how cool they are and in what specific way.

Enter DARMOK and JALAD. They share an appraising look at TANAGRA and begin to search the room for beasts.

Oh my god, McCartney's studio is even better than I could have dreamed. That place is a fucking wizard's cave. How often does he even play that harpsichord?

That Captain America pinup is like some sort of masterpiece of horrible art. How does a person put that much effort into drawing Captain America without firmly deciding which way he's going to face? He can only face one way at a time, Rob!

Another point in favour of "sie" and "hir", I'd say. Spivak tends to start with "e"s, which are also super common.

Oh yeah. If you're going to try out meds, consider whether or not you want to wait to the end of the school year. People generally say that the first six weeks of waiting for them to do something suuuuuck. In some cases, the side effects show up before the benefit. It might make things easier to tackle the school…

Anxiety is a strange beast. What's worked somewhat for me is the development of a sort of detached attitude from myself, like I'm in a mental control room and observing my own emotions and reactions. It can sometimes give me the ability to push through and force myself to do something that'll be good for me in the…

Good point about accents. That's actually my issue with Spivak pronouns, too.

Spivak has the issue of kind of sounding like you're saying male pronouns without the "h". Basically, would someone with a Yorkshire accent actually sound different saying Spivak pronouns than when talking about some guy?

This is part of why I don't see why people are so instantly dismissive of using new gender-neutral pronouns. Why not? The language changes all of the time, as many people have tirelessly argued, so why not use one of those changes to improve it? I'd much rather start saying "sie" and "hir" than start making…

That one's an interesting case. Its new prominence very well-intentioned, but "y'all" is decidedly an Americanism. Like, I don't think I've ever heard someone from around my town using it except as part of a fake accent. It's not like a previously-universal part of English that's been plucked out to serve as…

It has the problem of subject-verb agreement, which can make some sentences ambiguous. I actually like the idea of new pronouns much more, but I don't really see enough people adopting them. I read a blog that stuck with "sie" and "hir" (pronounced "see" and "hear") and found those easy to take, so I'd go with those…

The Universal monsters have the weight of pop culture history behind them. It shouldn't be that hard to cash in on some of the residual Old Hollywood magic.

I'm not even sure whether it supports or detracts from your statement to mention that she did a short TV series where she played every character.

That's what public sex-ed campaigns and similar initiatives are for, though. The information is out there and more visible than it's ever been. This guy (who, if I read another comment correctly, is 26) has almost certainly been exposed to this information before and will almost certainly be exposed in the future. …

That's pretty much textbook gaslighting, isn't it? Lying about how things work (i.e. pretending that sleep-raping someone isn't a big deal) and acting like you're unreasonable to have a problem with it? If that's how he does things, he's not safe to be around in the long run. Your instincts are correct.

The rich Belgian (which sounds a bit like a drink)! That sounds like a classic farce in the making.
