What I asked my students for and was expecting:

What these beautiful humans actually gave me?!?

Like...holy cow?!?! They're so talented!!

[frobby]

learning asl is great cuz u can communicate with more ppl! Also it gave me a bunch more handshapes to make while stimming

help the text bubbles confuse me so much are the dark ones thoughts? do all of chells signs have bubbles? im distressed (being over dramatic)

I'm a little confused here myself, what do you mean "dark ones"?

The black text with white outlines are used for actions and onomatopoeia:

The thought bubbles in chapter 1 are glados's internal monologue as she's recalling the memory of chell coming back to the facility:

For chell's signs, yes, her speech bubbles are orange. Glados's speech bubbles use all caps and are a jagged, "electric" shape and are colored yellow

I met another interpreter who likes D&D last week, and it got me thinking about signing spellcasters again. So hi! Have you ever considered the interplay between sign language and spellcasting components? The fact that many spells in D&D require verbal and somatic components creates some fun linguistic puzzles and opportunities for creative language use if a caster’s primary language is a sign language. Like:

- A Deaf spellcaster who signs the verbal components with one hand and simultaneously forms the somatic components with the other in an impressive display of dexterity as well as magical and linguistic mastery.

- A Deaf spellcaster who incorporates the the somatics for a spell into their signing (a la ASL number stories/ABC stories). They turn signs into somatics and somatics into signs. Each spell they cast is thought out, carefully crafted, and uniquely theirs.

I just. I love ASL I love mages I love it when people get creative with language, the special interests go brrrrrrr

was signing pse to a song and accidentally reinvented junko pose. i think i just have to stay monolingual now

I've been teaching my class some basic little bits of sign language, like the Days of the Week and stuff but man it's so hard to get any of them (incl the adults in the class) to sign anything correctly regardless of how many times I explain it. today someone asked me the sign for Weather and I just said I didn't know it off the top of my head. the sign for Weather is close enough to the sign for "having sex" that frankly I'm not going to teach any of them it

the sign for cigarette is so beautiful n it's kinda similar to the sign for whiskey which is cool

[larnax]

i did not miss how opaque ASL teacher is about stuff. it took until This week when i specifically asked her to find out that yeah there actually Are names for handshapes beyond just the alphabet and numbers, she just didn't feel the need to share that so i spent this entire time getting marked down bc i couldn't take notes with the correct names for handshapes

[tadbitsickchickwithadick]

Being Deaf, if we're getting into anything kinky, you're gonna learn sign for red/yellow/green. All can be one handed and I find them easier to use as safe words personally
