I agree with Foote's double post.
It beared repeating
I can't help but keep coming back to the fact that you can get "Con" from "CornCakes", but I can't do anything sensible with the rest of the letters because, basically, I suck.
Con Cares, 'K?
I came to this thread late, but I needed to make a pretty clear note about Tempest. Tempest is not a "he."
Nor is Tempest a 'she'. Tempest is Tempest is Tempest. Granted, instead of referring to Tempest as 'it' (which feels almost rude) or working sentences to craft 'they' around Tempest, nor using 'Tempest' whenever referring to Tempest, however unfortunate, English when gender neutral defaults to 'he'. I fear Tempest may suffer this injustice his/her/it's/Tempest's entire life. L'sigh!
Perhaps tempest might appreciate the Spivak pronouns? E likes Katy Perry?
It's not hard to work "they" into sentences in place of other pronouns. Singular they is totally a valid thing.
Singular they is totally a thing that works, but people think of it as sounding awkward because it’s not commonly used.
I’m quite in favour of “it” personally and would use it for everyone if it wasn’t for that people don’t seem to like it so much… Babies and little children are always “its” though.
His build is more masculine by human standards, which I understand he is not (male or human), so he shall be referred to in with the masculine pronouns by me.
Similar to Varsuvius from Order of the Stick.
For what it's worth, you care right now more than Tempest does.
EDIT: Realized that was a bit curt. Point being, gender is not something his species has, it's not a concept that's familiar at all to them. Most people on earth definitely call Tempest "him" because of the way "he" looks, and it doesn't really bother "him" because since there's no barometer, he doesn't have a preference. You can call Tempest him, you can call him her, you can call her ze or blee or skiddlydoo, Tempest doesn't really put energy into that, and as long as it's clear who's being addressed, he's not bothered by it.
....Just don't call Tempest late for dinner. I couldn't resist.
Promo Legacy now has the ability to destroy a card with a matching keyword to the discarded one is pretty cool. Off the top of my head its one of the only ways to destroy Scoin cards outside of Progeny himself, Fanatic with End of Days, and Agent with his destroy an instrument and any other card Harmony. I'm sure there are other annoying cards that this will help destroy.
So we got our first real death! RA!
Nightmist may be in mist form or not yet, that was unclear so she is not "dead" yet. I just hope that Ra and Fanatic did something with their relationship. Giggdy giggdy. So sad to see her cry.
The Ennead and Anumis makes for some Odd Allies. I wonder who is next.
When did termiation Squad get a costume change, after Omni-U is fixed. Was it a start of a new season?
This takes place 1 year after the Progeny event, Publish wise, and the same time nightmist opes the portal. I have to get my card and read every single flavor text now. WOOT more time wasted on SOTM!
I am glad to see Adam get in on this.
Some thoughts:
We know Mr. Fixer was really dead.
Ra's death has been suspected since he appeared in Tactics sounding differently. The real death is Dr. Blake Washington III.
Also the Ennead are dead too at least the hosts. Not sure about Anubis.
I always thought Ra and Fanatic didn't like each other.
Edit: I'm also glad to learn Tempest does not care about how he is referred to, if anything he probably had a hard time understanding the emphasis we put on gender. (like making sure to use the proper pronoun)
Damn, Ra went out like a boss. The backhanded remark was a little low, though. I can just see Nuit thinking, "Do you always insult your teammates or what?"
I wonder if this is a hint toward the speculation that the final expansion will include villains teaming up with the heroes?
"It" is generally used for objects so it's generally considered dehumanizing.
People use "they" a lot more than they realize. It doesn't sound nearly as awkward as people think. Hell, Shakespeare and Chaucer use singular they with no trouble whatsoever.
All the versions of Omnitron appear to use "it" as a pronoun, incidentally.
Cool to hear some more about how Tempest feels about gender. Reminds me of Ancillary Justice.
We have several non-gendered and trans students at my job, and this point has worked wonders for people to use the preferred pronouns.
