the daily vibe is jesters and clown girls i think (and im aware im a few months late)
actually, -er as male/genderneutral noun and -er as agent already get conflated sometimes, what if we take that to its logical conclusion?
follower->followess, traveler->traveless/travelless (this one's weird), keeper -> keeperess/keepress, maker -> mak(e)ress, gamer -> gam(e)ress/gamess (??), etc (and gender -> gendress is also cool tho it doesn't quite work the same). I also use terms like "ADHDer" and "ctpsder" so I guess I could call myself an adhdess if I wanted but that's mega cursed lmao
going the other way, are there words ending in -ess that can reasonably be backderived into new interesting words?
if we imagine "hollowness" as "a fem person who hollows", we can get "hollowner"; some other weird ones like this exist like bloodless -> bloodler, harmless -> harmler. they're kinda a stretch and some will be too close to existing words to be useful (e.g. sharpness -> sharpner is very close to sharpener?) but I think you could do something with them. (interestingly the words lightner and darkner from deltarune follow a similar pattern)
conclusion: i should not be allowed to make new words
