Design gripe (hopefully amusing)

Their names are Rua (he/him) and Uaine (they/them) and they love each other very much.

Aww yes after wanting him for years I finally got the tyrannosaurus counterpart to my big triceratops plush!
And they're already getting along great!
@mawr That's why I appreciated that in this case, "yes" was a sufficient answer. I managed to avoid saying more, or even giggling about it. Barely. ;)
Well that's a new and amusing way for gender-presentation ambiguity to manifest.
Went to get flu shot at work, the form I filled out had a question:
#5: Are you pregnant or suspect you might be pregnant?
So the nurse is going through confirming my answers, like they have to do, and rather than skipping or reading that one, she just goes "And have you read #5 very carefully?"
Rarely have I witnessed such a combination of remarkable tact and remarkable awkwardness. XD
@mawr @KawaSeadrake @IrisKalmia @Oneironott *flops in, all glowy and cuddly!* Eeeeeee! ^.^
@mawr @Oneironott @IrisKalmia @KawaSeadrake *waves from all the way over here * Hey I heard something about a plushie pile?
@starkatt That would be great because sometimes I wanna do deer emoticons but it's hard to find a good character for antlers. XD
@Oneironott Sure, whenever!
Coyoteing
@CoronaCoreanici I was just commenting on the similar vibe to a lot of fox-as-trickster and coyote-as-trickster stories.
@irisjaycomics I want the hell out of this too now OMG.
Coyoteing
@literorrery I'm just trying to fit in with the Mastodoners with their #gameing. ;)
@starkatt i don't have any resources immediately handy, but as I recall, it's about what you'd expect. :)
@starkatt (Of course, scavenger/psychopomp is an easy thing to derive in the first place)
@starkatt Also consider jackals. And the trickster/psychopomp connection that is sometimes a thing. ;)
@starkatt Another wrinkle that I do want to mention about the cultural-construct stuff is how recurrent some of them seem to be.
One could MAYBE argue that all European 'trickster fox' myths have a common source, and the same for North American 'trickster coyote' myths (Though I wouldn't do so personally)
But then one has to contend with how foxes and coyotes share a similar ecological niche on different continents with a vast cultural separation, and end up with very similar story tropes.
