Tbh this has been on my mind for MONTHS
Human codes… but they’re not actually codes??
A small group of humans is discovered by some curious aliens. Both sides can assume that the other is sentient. The aliens are trying to translate the humans’ language to their own, and the humans are trying to learn the aliens’ language. But since humans are tricky, they’ve decided that they don’t want the aliens to know their language, so they can have secret conversations.
So they go a little crazy. With written words, they randomly use lowercase and capital letters, even using numbers and symbols, and use a lot of slang, occasionally using words incorrectly on purpose. They’ll jumble the words a bit so that only human brains can guess their meaning (that thing where if you use all the letters and put the proper letters at the beginning and end it’ll be comprehensible), and even use additional or unofficial languages (commonly known words like ‘hola’, ‘si’, ‘oui’, etc, and piglatin, in which you typically take the first letter or syllable of a word, place it at the end, and add ‘ay’ to the end).
As for spoken words, they will do a bit of the above, mashing languages and slang, perhaps mispronouncing a few things, and quoting memes, vines, movies, and even singing parts of songs to throw off the aliens. Perhaps they will say something with a somber meaning in a joyful way to throw off the meaning, or even just naturally (‘I wanna die!’ ‘Mood’), or vice versa.
Additionally, there would have to be a TON of body language. Maybe even sign language, should they know any. Gestures and expressions, eyebrow wiggles and poorly-hidden grins. Ah, the beauties of communication.

Once again thinking about when my boyfriend would lay in bed with my idly and just play and rub my cock and he’d go “you feel that? It’s twitching”
I hadn’t even considered it was, but I was shocked to found out he was right, and the fact he could do that was even more shocking and embarrassing but it only made him grin and rub faster

if you havent seen/read dungeon meshi yet, dont let the jokes confuse you, chilchuck loves his friends so much. when i first started reading i was legit surprised he wanted to go in and help and i was kind of waiting for him to demand all their supplies in payment or something
its a funny joke that 'union chilchuck is not helping when the party is dying' but do NOT be put off by the jokes he loves those idiots and hes resisting the urge to baby izutsumi as we speak

in the mood for something spooky
i was thinking, the other night, "what if mickey made the blot because he was trying to create a replica of himself?" and it brought a lot more things together than i expected
i dont think the blot is truly evil, just an unfinished toon with a hunger for a Heart and universal adoration. but there is some baggage in that, from creator to creation.

In love with the way Roy knew how talented Jamie was, even when he hated him.

Okay but hc that Kaz casually did magic tricks constantly around Matthias on the boat to Fjerda (casually, like he's not doing this specifically in front of Matthias for a purpose) to make him think he's the devil.
