#Sign Language Class

[morganbritton132]

Anyways, Steve loses his hearing in the fight with Billy and Tommy secretly teaches himself sign language in case Steve ever wants to talk to him again.

the cruelest thing about the world is that there's so many languages and a girl can't learn all of them

Communication Error

Hero frowned. They signed with their hands as they spoke. "They don't have this on record."

Villain shrugged and signed back, "I doubt they think this is something 'important'."

"Of course it's important! There's such a huge difference between everyone thinking you're an asshole or just quiet and shy when you literally can't verbalize things." Hero abandoned their signs, hands waving in the air as they expressed their frustration.

"...I can speak."

Hero was startled. They turned to face Villain again. Their voice was so low they barely caught the words.

"I can't hear myself too well, but I can speak."

Hero blinked. "Oh. Oh. Hard of hearing, not mute?"

Villain nodded.

"Oh, I'm so sorry for assuming, then. It's still ridiculous, though! Surely they should have that on file and send someone appropriate to be your nemesis. I'm just a substitute! This shouldn't happen-" Their previous rant continued and Villain appreciated the expressive signs so they could easily nod along.

I had to "Post a GIF that describes your understanding of this topic" so I made a quick gif of the sign for Understand. You will not believe the amount of ads I suffered through to bring you this:

[GIF ID: a figure thinks with a finger on their chin as their eyes move back and forth as if reading. They pause then make the sign for Understand in American Sign Language. End ID]

ok but like why don’t we teach sign language in school alongside learning reading and writing? like not only would it help deaf people but it would also make life so much more convenient. there’s a loud noise and you can’t hear the person you’re talking to? no problem. sore throat? you can communicate without pain. you can’t understand which word someone is trying to say? now you can.

everyone knowing sign language would just make everything so much easier. turns out accessibility often helps everyone.

If my family and friends learned ASL I would talk so much more.

I can't even explain it to them but it's like even though I know all of English and I can express myself with it a lot faster than I can with ASL (exclusively bc I'm new to ASL and only have like a year and half of learning it under my belt) I'm so much more comfortable with ASL.

I hate talking so much I get like word vomit and everything comes out wrong. I hate the way I sound and people almost never hear me. Either I'm too loud or too quiet and it angers me. I get frustrated and then people think I'm upset with them when I'm not.

But in ASL, I'm so much more comfortable. I don't have to talk and I just use my hands. Things can come out wrong but not because my mouth is slower than my brain but because I'm new and sometimes your fingers move in the wrong way. I don't have to hear myself talk and I just like the way my hands can move and the words fall off my fingers and I don't have to think so hard about it

Uh but no one around me wants to learn so off I go with stuttering and running out of breath

i cannot express how absolutely criminal it is that sam does not know sign language

good morning can i show you guys the christmas card my little sister wrote me in french (she does not know any french)

joyeux Noël, j'espère que vous comprenez ce que je dis compte tenu de la fiabilité de Google Translate. Jespère qu'à l'avenir nous voir plus de deux fois par an. Je ne sais pas vraiment quoi dire d'autre, alors joyeux Noël et j'espère que papa t'a offert. Profitez également des autres choses que je mets sur la carte au lieu de vous ècrire un essai complet.

and then she wrote me a little crossword and a "connect the language to its way of saying 'merry christmas'" game 😭

so i have to take an english course at my uni to be eligible for nursing (not sure what being able to read or write dramas or poetry has to do with being a nurse but 🤷‍♀️) and i am lowkey panicking about it

not only do i need an english, i have to do well in it too. my grades from the 10 required “pre-professional” courses are what my admission to nursing hinges on

and i am the worst writer ever. i struggle to express myself with words and honestly if there’s no inspiration then i am unable to write anything. all of my previous university essays were written either by forcing myself through an excruciating process of “i hate this but have no other option to write about” or they were written in near-manic frenzies because i had too much to say about my chosen topic. there is no in between

i have a friend with an english degree who said she’d help me through it. but she’d be most useful if i take the dramas class, but not gonna lie i’m more intrigued by the narratives. just because it would mean studying books that i tend to gravitate towards when reading. still anxious as hell about the composition part though… i truly have no desire to be a writer in any capacity lol

dude im so hyped to take sign language class

[unsettlingcreature]

ok I'm officially taking suggestions for character creation options, I'm looking purely for suggestions based on visual appearance and currently have:

skin tones (choosing between a shorter or longer list)

skin details (currently freckles, moles, vitiligo, acne and a facial scar)

hair length (including bald/shaved)

hair colour (choosing between a shorter or longer list)

eye colour (currently all natural eye colours. should i add unnatural colours too?)

height

additional details (currently glasses, uses a cane, heavy makeup. I think I could really expand on this part in particular.)

[twinklingwatermellon]

I know, I know, all’s well that ends well, but I can’t stop thinking about how the altered timeline probably ended up with Yichan and Cheong-ah getting married later than in the first timeline.

oh my dear communications textbook,,,, that does not actually spell love in ASL,,,,

[phopollo]

I'm not sure if maybe I'm just unlucky here, or maybe there's like.... something wrong with a larger system?

But why have I taken 5 Spanish classes and only managed to learn anything in one of them? And why is the college class the one I've learned the least in?

It's time for another episode of Good Idea, Bad Idea

[Image ID: lightbulbs replace the 'o's in "good idea." Under that is the phrase "go to class early" in American Sign Language. Then the words "bad idea" with a lightbulb over the 'i'. Under that is the phrase "go to class naked" in American Sign Language. End ID]
