:In regards to the Theet species, they are in plural, so "they" would without any doubt at all be the fitting term. As far as individual Theets go, ''that'' part I agree would be an open question: Every single Theet in the entire game (except a handful of Sparklas) are male, or at the very least (to use modern terms) male-coded, and would (im)plausibly be referred to ''as individuals'' as he/him. But for Theets in plural? Pressure on "plural"? They/them. Because that's how plural tense works.

- In regards to the Theet species, they are in plural, so "they" would without any doubt at all be the fitting term. As far as individual Theets go, that part I agree would be an open question: Every single Theet in the entire game (except a handful of Sparklas) are male, or at the very least (to use modern terms) male-coded, and would (im)plausibly be referred to as individuals as he/him. But for Theets in plural? Pressure on "plural"? They/them. Because that's how plural tense works. DandelionSprout (talk) 05:40, June 13, 2024 (EDT)
