Theshenanijiang - The Shenani-Jiang

Thank you for such sweet, kind words! This was an absolute delight to wake up from a nap to!

Reminder that @theshenanijiang is the platonic loml I didn't know I needed but only realized I wished for after finding. Thank you for making me smile daily. You're the reason I have something good to look forward to every day, whether it's fic updates, your messages or your mother henning. I adore it all like you'll never believe. Thank you MDZS fandom because you're the reason I met Jaq🥹

It was not a dream! She did come and try to wake me. LOL

Well. Decided to take a nap. Dreamt my wife was trying to wake me up. Woke up groggy, disoriented, and shaky. Not sure if that nap was worth it.

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

Did I use the SSC as an opportunity to include letters in my fic? Sure did.
