Pixies and Pronouns

Spoiler[Discussion]

As an agender person, I really appreciated the touch of making pixies using they/them/their pronouns.

Too many people think it's not correct grammar to use them in the third person singular, but it's fitting that Shakespeare, the most popular source of inspiration for Fey themes, also used them this way.

In german they use female pronouns, but still call all Twintanias king, funnily enough.

Berserk does the same thing. Guts and his party go to meet the King of the Fairies, and it’s revealed that she’s a woman. However, that never changes her royal distinction.

I really loved this. The use of ‘King’ for Titania was nice as well, I was expecting the usual ‘Queen’ and she/her pronouns so I was pleasantly surprised.

As someone who knows lore on all fairies thanks to persona im fucking highly offended they call her King Titania....... Its Queen Titania and King Oberon. How do you fuck up this basic knowledge on fairy lore.

No, Elvis is the King. Oberon's just a schmuck.

And for the lore in this game they took the title of king from the highest power that the Kingdom of Voeburt had; the previous occupants of Il Mheg.
