I love learning ASL it’s so good. Makes me happy to learn it. I’m so glad my university has classes for it with professors actually steeped in Deaf culture.
#blue chatter#am I good at ASL? hahahahahahaha. no.#ASL and English grammar are incredibly different and even when I remember my vocab I am easily clockable as hearing#but I do have some language capacity now. enough to communicate the basics.#and I just. genuinely really enjoy it. it’s fun to learn and engaging in a way most of my classes just aren’t.#and I can. yanno. communicate respectfully w Deaf ppl. and learn about their culture#which is incredibly important given that I want to go into a field where there is a higher incidence than typical of Deaf people#autistic? you’re more likely to be Deaf!#not to mention the fact that sign language can sometimes be a useful alternative to speech for nonspeaking/nonverbal people#depending on the person obvi; some nonspeaking/nonverbal autistics cannot use sign language and that’s okay#but surely at some point I will encounter either a Deaf client or a nonspeaking/nonverbal client who uses ASL#and when that time comes I should have some idea of how to communicate with them#I also rly like the Deaf church by my parents’ house#their community is really welcoming and their services are really interesting#I think it’s rly cool how they take intentions directly from the congregation#they’ll raise their hands and then sign what their intention is from their pew to the ambo#which is rly neat#it is funny bc every time I go the Deaf ppl I talk to will tell each other ‘go slow she’s hearing’#which is ENTIRELY fair bc. I am hearing. and I do need them to go slower.#but it also makes me laugh bc truly everyone knows within a few minutes.#oh hey the new person? they’re hearing. yeah they’re learning ASL at college. sign slowly for her.#which again makes sense bc a big Deaf culture thing is keeping ppl informed. it’s not gossip it’s getting everyone on the same page.#Deaf ppl do NOT beat around the bush that is like the height of rudeness to them. u say what u mean goshdangit. do not waste their time.#which I appreciate the heck out of bc i don’t have to try and phrase things delicately or w/e#it was also funny bc my mom came w me while I was home for Christmas and they asked her if I was her kid#and she said yes. and the lady running the kid’s craft corner thing was like ‘great you’re doing a craft now’#and I’m sitting there. visibly over 18 years old. amongst several seven year olds. trying desperately to figure out how to say hot glue gun#I made a v pretty pinecone tree it was a lot of fun ^-^

highlights:
- dowoon and youngk's bit where dowoon was making car noises and youngk was pretend driving
- dowoon saying thank you wrong on purpose then correcting himself
- the crowd yelling sungjin's name before he tried to speak and he said "yes i'm sungjin hello"
- jae saying youngk wanted to talk about something and youngk going "do we really wanna bring it up don't you wanna do it first" like mood!
- dowoon singing and everyone going completely quiet then screaming the loudest once he was done 😔
- youngk, jae and wonpil exaggerating their high notes
- the crowd literally NEVER... shutting up... every solo. EVERY solo had the fans chanting. they breathed and we all screamed and clapped. i was deaf halfway through it
- youngk saying things in perfect french and looking pretty proud of it lmao
- wonpil, sole emotional member during the ending ment
- barely needing the translator bc everyone understood english so jae and youngk spoke during the ments, mostly jae. i love our translator but having to go with a translator for a whole concert kind of prevents you from having fun with the artists, which would've been especially sad with a group as fun as day6
- sungjin doing his best to say his entire speech in english during the ending ment 🥺
- wonpil's shirt. i just want to say i really liked his fit
- dowoon's ending ment and him making funny faces when waiting for a kind of emotional thing to be translated. king and mood
- wonpil being super soft the entire time... this man is so soft and sweet..... i would die for him
- jae: who is tired ? everyone: no!!! jae: ..... who is tired ? everyone: no!!!!!!! jae: ........ ok now listen carefully to the question
- jae noticing my hand go down when he asked that question LMAO
- also jae noticing me appearing and disappearing behind all these tall ppl . i played hide and seek with jae what did YOU do
- "oh my goodness!" - jae, the entire time
- youngk telling us we're the only place in the world where they get our kind of energy 🥺🥺 i'm sorry i'm not over this and i never will be
