Salve (or Hello)

i'm...
well i'm wes.
or west.
wes/west?
anyway.
interests.
latin.
lingua latina beata est (the latin language is beautiful)
star trek because star trek
i'm dp-anon over on tumblr (or poeta-ae, no one really cares)
i'm possibly autistic, definitely weird.
my wordings are quirky because i like old language
like hence
or sans
or ergo
like my sperg things are etymology (though not entomology), and star trek. also sherlock holmes in all the forms.
dunno if anyone else likes rwby but i love it (and i ship platonic renora like nobody's business)
nearly become otherkin because lack of stuff for genderfluid (pulled myself out of that quickly though because i noticed emotional manipulation/echo chamber and got creeped out)
i wonder what y'all think my gender is.
i honestly don't know o.o
also flightrising and tumblr (i'm humanaleph on fw)
and i have a blog that is rarely updated where i have all my gender weirds (humanaleph.wordpress.com)
i find the Phoenician alphabet fascinating.
and i'm bad at organizing my posts.

 

There seems to be several of us in the RWBY herd around here. Hisup.

(For gender I'd ping you as boyish masculine (as opposed to manly masculine)? I dunno, my genderdar tends to be pretty good though.)

 

Huh.
That sorta works.
Cool.

 

Hello! If you like old language, I think you might get a kick out of this (I found it a while back while doing research for a fallen london-based rp character)

 

THIS
THIS THIS THIS
THANK YOU SO MUCH

 

Hm. Based on shorter sentences, avoidance of capitalization & punctuation, I'm reading you as some level of masculine as well. Of course, this is probably because dave from homestuck does similar structure.

 

Dave reads more mannish masculine to me, actually. It's subtly different.

 

was unaware that avoidance of capitalization et punctuation was a more mannish reading thingy.
huh.

 

he does ramble more. I think I'm better at reading female writing anyways, so usually i can do "female" or "not-female" pretty reliably

 

:) Glad to be of assistance. I've been half-seriously trying to bring back "got the morbs"

 

victorian slang for melancholy is best slang.

 

Yeah, my genderdar is pretty reliable with only two major exceptions over like, seven years, so. (One each for female mistaken male and male mistaken female.)

It's not for me? Though my other usual medium is one where half the users drop caps and hardly anyone includes their finishing punctuation, so.

 

it could be just because when we drop caps and punct., we sound more confident, and we're trained to read confidence as a male trait. or i could be projecting from my women studies classes.

i also read long sentences with good punct. and cap. as male, but only if they use certain words as well.

Wasn't there a website that analyzed your writing to determine gender?

EDIT: there were a few! http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php and http://genderanalyzer.com/
don't know how accurate they are.

 

That could be, and could also then explain why I don't parse it as masculine (I read it as "relaxed," not "confident").

 

interesting.
i don't capitalize mostly because i like how lower case "i"s look and also i like consistency.

 

hello!

if you like etymology you would probably like the online english etymology dictionary (if you haven't run across it yet), and also "six words you never knew had something to do with pigs". i really love etymology and historical linguistics.

re: gender, i'd guess some sort of masculine based off the name wes (can't think of any english female names that can be abbreviated to wes). i think i already got that impression off your tumblr, though i couldn't say why.

 

oh thank you shiny words
huh.
that's interesting.
and also awesome.

 

ooo
that sounds absolutely amazing.
blake is the best.
i id the most with blake definitely.
my best friend is very ren-like.
i ship platonic renora because there aren't enough platonic ships.
and they are adorable.
