girl who develops a god complex and changes her pronouns from she/her to She/Her

U.S. conservatives always talk about creating jobs but get SO MAD whenever anyone mentions banning prison labor like imagine the insane ammout of jobs that would be created literally overnight if companies in your country had to actually employ people instead of using slave labor from people that got caught with weed 10 years ago.

they are NOT beating the old man yaoi allegations

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

Something Short for my Sengen Hanahaki AU

"Nice trick, Gen, but if you're just going to stand around then you can go help make fabric." Senku laughs, rolling his eyes.

Gen puts the handful of flower petals into a pocket, not pleased about the slimey texture. While everyone looks towards Senku, he coughs out one last petal and covers the sound with a laugh.

"Ah, so orry-say, Senku-chan. I suppose you're right..." he speaks energetically, though he sighs.

"That's not his usual flower, is it?" Chrome tilts his head curiously, watching Gen walk regretfully towards the fabric.

"Nope! Those were gardenias. Guess he ran out of the usual ones." Senku stares at nothing in particular, then turns to Chrome with a grin. "Gardenias contain a chemical called crocetin. If ingested it can improve fatigue, though it was never confirmed... I wonder where he got them? Might be useful."

"Are we going to experiment on Gen?"
