read a fantasy novel recently where the language let's you gender first person pronouns so when you say "hi my name is hvee" the form of "my" you'd use would signal which set of pronouns apply to you and now i wish that was a thing

(oh the book is the black tides of heaven from the tensorate series by jy yang; a great world imagined from a queer/nonbinary/asian perspective)

Follow

(it has the downsides of basically everything sf/f i've read, which is that i am in love with the worldbuilding and the implications it raises but not really that invested in the plot)
