if someone told me their pronouns were attack/helicopter I would just use them

if attack's serious then attack's probably the funniest person on earth. if not then attack'll have to tell you attacks actual pronouns. there's no losing

Pardon me friend, but I do believe you have misconjugated this particular set of pronouns in your penultimate sentence. In most cases, the slash between words indicates a nominative vs oblique case (cf he/him).

Now, giving only two versions of the pronoun does make it difficult to extrapolate the possessive form (cf he/him/his, which gives us nominative/dative and accusative/possessive). However, lacking any other information, let us assume that attack/helicopter declines similarly to the pronoun "she," which has but two forms, plus a possessive adjective formed by adding -s to the oblique form. To whit:

  • Attack = nominative (cf "she")
  • Helicopter = oblique cases (cf "her")
  • Helicopters = possessive adjective (cf "hers")

Thus, your penultimate sentence would properly read "If not, then attack'll have to tell you helicopters actual pronouns."

Me, coughing:

Vanus the bunny, who has lived here for almost 7 years: Ah yes, one of the human's many noises. He does this sometimes, I'll pay it no mind.

Achilles the bunny, who moved in 6 months ago: WHAT THE FUCK :( WHAT WAS THAT NOISE, WAS IT DANGEROUS :( GONNA MAKE MYSELF VERY SMALL AND ROUND IN A CORNER, JUST TO BE SAFE :(

"fäther why"

Update: he's figured out that after I cough I'll pet him and comfort him (bc he gets so spooked), so now when I cough he's visibly psyched. Does a happy little hop toward me and everything.
