      They usually have a favored appearance, though. Azura, for example, almost never manifests a masculine avatar. Boethiah shifts back and forth so much that their followers in Skyrim are depicted as switching pronouns mid sentence when referring to them.

      Except for Hermaeus Mora, who could do that but doesn’t give a fuck and appears as random seafood garbage.

        I’m an old man, but I’m 90% sure I’m saying this right: Fucking Based.

        “What gender are you?”

        “Lovecraftian nightmare tentacles”

        “But what pronouns do you use?”

        “It/Insanity Screeching”

        “Hmm, I’m starting to think we mortals might be using restrictive definitions of shit”

        Reminds me of a character from the Stormlight Archive books that is literally a bodiless spirit inhabiting a giant tower to power and control various magic utilities in the tower. Not only do they not have a gender, they see no reason to have one.

          They also seem to not be super into naming, cuz instead of picking a relevant name (like the Stormfather did) they just go by the Sibling. Add in their activism for entities that can’t protect themselves and they’re just peak goals
