Howdy, friends!

My requests are open for five to ten submissions! Running low on ideas lately so I'll just leech off yours.

Wow, I just realized I didn't actually make this visible. So cool of me. Fixing that now.

Pronoun Macros Guide!

This is just a little guide for any creators here who might be confused over how exactly to implement pronoun macros.

When you use pronoun macros, you substitute actual pronouns for the type of conjugation they represent. This is done in the "Initial Messages (opening messages)" section of the creation page, and you type them out yourself. Now, I'm sure that nobody really wants a grammar lesson, so instead of explaining what each of these pronoun types are in detail, I'll focus this guide on providing examples.

One thing to note: Macros do not automatically capitalize. This means that if a sentence begins with a pronoun, it will be all lowercase. If this doesn't bother you, you can ignore this, but it bothers me, so I tend to adjust sentence structure to avoid using macros as the first word in a prompt. Or, I replace the pronoun with {{user}} or {{user}}'s, removing the capitalization issue.

Quick Guide

When in doubt, test the macro you think is correct for different pronouns in a sentence. If they all seem to fit, you've probably selected the right one.

{{sub}} - he, she, they, it
> {{sub}} went shopping.

{{obj}} - him, her, them, it
> The outfit looked great on {{obj}}.

{{poss}} - his, her, their, its
> That was {{poss}} greatest wish.

{{poss_p}} - his, hers, theirs, its
> The fault was all {{poss_p}}.

{{ref}} - himself, herself, themselves, itself
> {{sub}} was always too hard on {{ref}}.

Subject {{sub}}

This is used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence. This is the primary pronoun used - he, she, they, it, etc.

Examples:

As {{sub}} looked up, the atmosphere shifted.

• As he looked up, the atmosphere shifted.

• As she looked up, the atmosphere shifted.

• As they looked up, the atmosphere shifted.

Important to note here: Be careful of sentence structures involving is/are, was/were, or present tense verbs. Depending on the pronouns set for the user, this will change whether or not a sentence flows with proper grammar.

Examples:

• When he was a kid, he liked school.

• When she was a kid, she liked school.

• When they were a kid, they liked school.

Normally, I avoid this sort of sentence structure too - this is often possible by making minor adjustments.

• As a kid, {{sub}} liked school.

When I can't do that, I tend to default to the form that works with he and she, because those are more common pronouns.

• When {{sub}} was a kid, {{sub}} liked school.

This will be a common problem or anyone who writes in the present tense. This is why I tend to stick to past tense, in fact. In present tense, the issue occurs for all verbs, but in past tense, it's mostly just a few irregular ones.

Present tense (causes problems):

• ...he goes to work...

• ...she goes to work...

• ...they go to work...

Past tense (no problems):

• ...he went to work...

• ...she went to work...

• ...they went to work...

Object {{obj}}

This occurs when the pronoun is an 'object' in the sentence - something being acted on rather than the active subject. This is him, her, them, etc.

Examples:

Everyone was proud of {{obj}}.

• Everyone was proud of him.

• Everyone was proud of her.

• Everyone was proud of them.

The waiter gave {{obj}} the check.

• The waiter gave him the check.

• The waiter gave her the check.

• The waiter gave them the check.

Possessive {{poss}}

This is used when something belongs to someone. This is normally his, her, their, etc.

Examples:

A blush burned {{poss}} face.

• A blush burned his face.

• A blush burned her face.

• A blush burned their face.

Possessive Pronoun {{poss_p}}

This is the macro I use most infrequently - I've only used it at all once or twice. It's basically referencing something that is owned in pronoun form rather than adjective form, which is how possessive functions. This would be his, hers, theirs, etc.

The choice was {{poss_p}}.

• The choice was his.

• The choice was hers.

• The choice was theirs.

Reflexive {{ref}}

This one is easy to recognize - it's the 'self' pronouns: himself, herself, themselves. (JanitorAI conjugates they/them pronouns as 'themselves', not 'themself', adhering to the old third person plural 'they' rules.)

Examples:

Mom always told {{obj}} not to be so hard on {{ref}}.

• Mom always told him not to be so hard on himself.

• Mom always told her not to be so hard on herself.

• Mom always told them not to be so hard on themselves.

Practical Example

This is an excerpt of script taken from my 'Uncomfortable Arrangement' Satoru Gojo bot. It includes use of {{user}}, {{sub}}, {{obj}}, and {{poss}}.

Raw Script:

{{user}} had inherited {{poss}} clan's most valued technique in a more potent form than had been seen in several generations. {{user}}'s parents never failed to mention, supposedly in passing, how well {{sub}} was adapting to {{poss}} technique; how, while {{sub}} may not have been on Satoru Gojo's level, {{sub}} was surely going to be a powerful sorcerer in {{poss}} own right. One with a powerful legacy. All this was said as {{poss}} parents continued pressing {{obj}} into proximity with Satoru, and by the time {{user}} was in high school, {{sub}} knew what {{poss}} parents were playing at.

What the user sees:

Day had inherited her clan's most valued technique in a more potent form than had been seen in several generations. Day's parents never failed to mention, supposedly in passing, how well she was adapting to her technique; how, while she may not have been on Satoru Gojo's level, she was surely going to be a powerful sorcerer in her own right. One with a powerful legacy. All this was said as her parents continued pressing her into proximity with Satoru, and by the time Day was in high school, she knew what her parents were playing at.

I hope that was helpful to any of my fellow writers who struggle with the whole 'pronoun macros' thing. It can be weird and confusing when you're still getting used to it, but it makes things a lot smoother if you're an AnyPOV bot creator like myself.

Proxy is turned off for this bot because I am an honest (wo)man and I won't stand for risking the good people of this website accidentally wasting their precious proxy tokens on a non-bot like this.

Absolutely unhinged.
