Local Void: Narnian Pronouns

Narnian Pronouns

[ Back to: System info ]

In our system, "Narnian pronouns" refers to a pronoun preference shared by the non-humans of West Voidelia/Blue's Supercluster and the Moon Aura Marsh (in Bryan's Supercluster).

Non-humans from West Voidelia and the Moon Aura Marsh (who are Narnian alterhumans) prefer people use Narnian pronouns for them, which means they use it/its and a "binary" pronoun (i.e. he/him or she/her), with or without they/them and neopronouns, and they prefer humans to use "it/its" for them and for non-humans to use "he/him" or "she/her", with no preference for who uses they/them or neopronouns.

Only non-human headmates who use it/its and a binary pronoun use Narnian pronouns. For example, Clutch is a West Voidelian non-human, but sie uses they/them, it/its, and some specific neopronouns. Since it does not use she/her or he/him, they do not care what pronouns people use for them regardless of their species relative to hirs.

Non-human headmates in West Voidelia usually distinguish their species by setting a member of it to their icon, or using a source image that makes their species clear. Moon Aura Marsh is all non-humans by default.

This also only applies to headmates from West Voidelia (which is the most connected to fiction and The Chronicles of Narnia) or the Moon Aura Marsh (which is comprised of Narnian alterhumans but is an East Voidelian region).

West Voidelian headmates have 📚 in their PluralKit proxies and display names on this site, and the Moon Aura Marsh have 🐸.

If you don't know what species you are, or you are both human and non-human, use whichever of a Narnian pronoun user's displayed pronouns you prefer. Narnian pronoun users also usually have neopronouns as an option, and if so, they do not have a preference on who uses neopronouns vs it/its or binary pronouns. Narnian pronoun users treat they/them like a neopronoun in this regard, too.

While it is not essential for people outside the system to use Narnian pronouns for us as long as they are using at least one of the pronoun options listed for us individually (or else are using a collective pronoun), most people within the system tend to use headmates' pronouns according to their preference. This can explain why some headmates seem to always or never use certain pronouns for other headmates.

The reason we prefer this is because many of the headmates who use Narnian pronouns are heavily connected to stories, fiction, and the innerworld. This pronoun preference is based on pronoun conventions in a work of fiction that the innerworld story is partly based on. Narnian pronouns therefore make the non-humans who use them still feel like they are part of a story.
