《I'm Glad You Found Me [mpreg]》The Becoming of Aerglo- Pronouns
Advertisement
Hello!
This isn't an official update, sorry.
But I think this will clear up some things that might or actually have confused people while reading this story thus far.
So, a bit of background:
Not so long ago I made the story Paint Me Blue.
Writing it and exploring the different characters I made definitely opened up a few doors for me (I think it even made that story more realistic).
With that story, I made a personal connection to my character Reese, as through him I found myself (quite literally in many aspects).
This made me realize that I don't really have to conform in writing in regards to anything and thus I'm Glad You Found Me happened.
I really wanted to make an atypical character and of course, in making it, the complete opposite of Paint Me Blue was the result.
While creating this atypical character, I thought of raising more awareness to something not taught too well and that is...
Pronouns.
That's how Aerglo Halcyon(?) happened.
For Reese I had to dig a bit and figure things out, so logically I did the same for Aerglo.
Dx:
In Chapter Six, Caelum asks what Aerglo likes to be referred as (pronoun-wise) because he was uncomfortable seeing someone seemingly human, but referring them as "it".
Aerglo in turn said he didn't particularly care, it was whatever Caelum was comfortable with.
However, throughout the story, Aerglo is clearly referred as xe, xyr, xem, xemself.. etc.
These are his pronouns, or the pronouns of his race (Aixatarieno).
And they're real pronouns that may be used by someone who is under the Trans umbrella.
Of course there are many pronouns someone can use depending on how they identify, but for Aerglo, xe/xyr/xem just stuck out and I happened to like it.
It's definitely confusing and it took me a while to figure out which is which so I had to use a few charts in the beginning as a guide.

BUT, I eventually figured it out,
I adjusted, and now it just flows. I don't even think about it when I write, the pronouns just stick although I admit that sometimes I do make mistakes.
Continuing with the story, later on you might notice that Caelum uses he/him/his when talking about Aerglo. Technically he's not wrong, Aerglo did say that it was fine with xem/him.
This, though, will get him into a bit of trouble soon enough *spoiler*.
So yes, this story is confusing and maybe frustrating depending on your POV.
Not many people know that there are more pronouns/genders out there so it's definitely baffling and sometimes intimidating.
They/Their are also considered pronouns and can be used as singular and not plural 😲, surprise!
All in all, I know I'm a bit late on the explanation part, but here are the resources I used for I'm Glad You Found Me and Aerglo's pronouns:

I hope this cleared up a few things.
I suggest that if you're interested, please do some research (I know it helped me lots) and please don't disrespect anyone for who they are and what pronouns they chose to identify as.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment or PM me. I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities 😊.
Because you made it to the end of this update, here's a treat:
^^^ Caelum ^^^
^^^ Aerglo (human form)^^^
Bonus:
The following are the suggestions of YaoiGirl111 & how they picture Aer and Cael as humans.

Ebony Chitin - Eclipse
Richard Adams is something of a talented alchemist. One of the few magical professions that have anything to do with some kind of science. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 'cold night' incident happened. With it being determined as his fault, that such a thing happened. He was promptly exiled until he could return to Eclipse with a new 'discovery' for his field. What he didn't expect; was that he'd run into a strange humanoid monster that could seemingly heal any life threatening wound in a matter of seconds. Certainly this would be what he needs to become a master alchemist. The first step on a multi series journey. Please excuse the earliest chapters and their poor grammer. Ebony Chitin follows Richard Adams, and Mimi on their Journey to understand each other and the world around them. Due the the exploratory nature of such a claim, it will cover many different topics. This was my first attempt at actually writing a story, and because of that I will not edit it. I'd suggest reading the second part as it comes out as most of the things within this book will be recapped. Though if it becomes popular I hope it might inspire some of you readers to write your own stories. Cover Art by Rose Dragon

Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...

Inside Metsys
Inside the universe of Metsys, life is chaotic, cruel and crazy. People with Stats have power and everyone wants to be a Player. Meet Corn, a slave who has no memory of most of his past and doesn’t know how most of the world functions. This doesn’t stop him from escaping the bonds of slavery by risking his life on a gamble. After all, he would risk everything for freedom and the right to be a mage. But how’s a scrub to learn Magic and get power? Why, join the magical under belly of the city, of course. And eat all the mana that he can get. Two Disclaimers: 1) This is a work of fiction. Any characters, places, organisations and everything else in this novel are fictional. Any resemblance between anything in this novel and the plane of reality we live in is purely coincidental. Was that a bit over the top and a wee bit unnecessary? Maybe. 2) This story features an antihero with a slight hint of villainy. So, sooner or later, it’s going to get dark. Very dark. Hence all the tags. If you are prone to be squeamish, this might not be for you. Well. You were warned. ;)
