Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

oh okay

I am not joking I am not exaggerating the thirst on this fucking website for cis dudes w a lil extra fat on their chests... And the insistence on referring to those as titties and boobs and big naturals. Has made me (trans man) feel significantly better about my boobs! Everyone here sees a dude with big ol bazoonkas and goes fucking apeshit. Hell yeah. Men's tits. I got those too! Maybe they're also hot on me! Holy shit! Men's tits!

Something Short for my Sengen Hanahaki AU

"Nice trick, Gen, but if you're just going to stand around then you can go help make fabric." Senku laughs, rolling his eyes.

Gen puts the handful of flower petals into a pocket, not pleased about the slimey texture. While everyone looks towards Senku, he coughs out one last petal and covers the sound with a laugh.

"Ah, so orry-say, Senku-chan. I suppose you're right..." he speaks energetically, though he sighs.

"That's not his usual flower, is it?" Chrome tilts his head curiously, watching Gen walk regretfully towards the fabric.

"Nope! Those were gardenias. Guess he ran out of the usual ones." Senku stares at nothing in particular, then turns to Chrome with a grin. "Gardenias contain a chemical called crocetin. If ingested it can improve fatigue, though it was never confirmed... I wonder where he got them? Might be useful."

"Are we going to experiment on Gen?"
