sign language hc / meta

          when it comes to sign language, it mainly evolved from the streets of zaun. that's where there wasn't access to healthcare such as hearing aids or surgery's unlike there was in piltover. i can see being deaf originally as being something to fix and hide in piltover in order to keep up appearances and just kinda the way that you are in zaun. ( i'm mainly incorporating deaf history here, i dont really care if it actually makes sense for piltover or not lmao )

          that being said, sign did start to show up in the higher classes too, but over time it become somewhat different than zaun sign language. zsl wouldnt have words for certain things that psl wouldve needed. that, and im sure a lot of signs about piltover, such as enforcers or even just "piltover" had rude connotations / were insults so they were changed when it moved to the city. so while a deaf person from zaun could understand a deaf person from piltover or vice versa, it would take some getting used to and there would still be some confusion that would be eliminated via context clues.

          that being said, it's still very uncommon to met someone who speaks sign unless they themselves are deaf or have a family member who are. jinx had some minor hearing loss after the fight on the bridge due to being close enough to hear all the guns, but it wasn't noticeable until after the first explosion in piltover, and it got worse with the warehouse one . . . and every explosion he made following that.

          for learning to sign, im torn between her picking it up in the last drop with some deaf customers, or silco, having to find someone else who was suffering hearing issues to teach her because of a mix of caring / wanting to learn but also getting frustrated with not being heard. im sure singed made jinx some hearing aids at some point or they got some from someone else who was making them for zaunites, but she definitely doesn't use them alot mainly due to stubbornness.

          @murdermelody           what non-sexual act of foreplay most turns them on ??

          any sexual encounter that jinx has tends to be feverish, " in the moment " and impulsive, there's not really enough care or time to do foreplay. but, in a better scenario - groping and ropeplay would definitely be high up there. even gunplay or general weaponplay. hang her from the ceiling and threaten her with a gun !! that works on the domming side too, of tying his partner up. they're also into shaming / embarrassing their partner mostly if it gets the partner worked up because they find it funny

          for a less kinky alternative, also being intimate and close with people can turn him on, like showering together or naked cuddles.
