• Maria says at that point, Maria would just use the name, probably.

        Maria says Maria gets it, and Maria says it makes sense to Maria. Maria does think that noun repetition would be better (to Maria) than not putting anything - even if it would be funny to Maria.

          Attempted to keep it making sense:

          Maria says at that point, would just use the name, probably.

          Maria says gets it, and that it makes sense. Maria does think that noun repetition would be better than not putting anything - even if it would be funny to Maria.

              Assuming you aren’t joking…

              “It” being a pronoun would only become a problem if the challenge was the following: “while talking about that person, you cannot use any pronouns”.
              However, the current challenge is instead “you cannot refer to this person using any pronouns, because the person has none”. That means we can refer to things other than the person with pronouns. And that’s what Anarki_ does. If you don’t believe it yet, look at the spoilered text above, where I show what each of the pronouns is referring to.

              Click Me! :D

              Maria says gets it […]

              Pronoun referring to: the removal of ex-wife’s pronouns by the ex-wife that the OP refers to.


              […] and that it makes sense.

              Pronoun referring to: the same thing as last time.


              […] - even if it would be funny to Maria.

              Pronoun referring to: not putting anything to refer to the ex-wife mentioned in the OP


              As you can see, no pronouns refer to either Maria or to the ex-wife, but to actions and things said by these two persons. :D

            Maria says gets it, and that it makes sense.

            I don’t know if “Maria says gets it” is a gramatically correct English phrase. In case it isn’t, I would either use…

            Maria says Maria gets it, and that it makes sense

            …or get rid of the passive phrasing for clarity, like this…

            Maria says something similar to the following: “Maria gets it. It makes sense.”

        Pronoun absense requires noun or proper noun usage only. If Foxfire shall refer to a plural system, Foxfire must use the proper noun designating the plural system every time, or Foxfire must use the proper noun(s) specifically involved in the conversation every time. Pronouns contained in Another Catgirl’s comment cannot be used, as pronouns are forbidden entirely.
