Insects may as well be the size of elephants for the way I react to them.

🔫 soumako

(I was so tempted to do something with ewoatt soumako being the best brothers in arms oops but anyway)

One of the ways Sousuke and Makoto check in with each other when they’re out in public is through different subtle hand signals. It started when Makoto wanted to squeeze in more practice for his JSL elective class, and Sousuke was willing to help any way he could. Learning and practicing some of the basic conversational signs eventually turned into them starting to sign phrases like “I’m alright” and “thanks” constantly. Practicing the alphabet also allowed for them to spell out nicknames for each other as inside jokes, which threw their friends for a loop anytime they saw it come up while all hanging out. They don’t always follow actual JSL, coming up with some of their own unofficial signs for fun. Sousuke has started making subtle finger guns at people that annoy him (sometimes strangers, sometimes friends, sometimes himself) just for Makoto to see and loves the way Makoto can’t help but smile or laugh every time he chides him for the behavior. He enjoys all of the hand signals they share, how it started out as something functional (and still important; they want to maintain JSL practice) but also morphed into something special, just for them to share.

Send in a random emoji and Free! character(s)/ships/etc and I’ll try to come up with a headcanon/drabble✨

I feel like the reason certain dog-lovers insist cats are evil is because they read their body language as if they were dogs. So here’s a very basic guide to common “mean” things cats do that actually aren’t mean at all if you know what they’re thinking.

Rolling and exposing belly- attacks you when touched Does not mean: Give belly rubs! - haha I tricked you!  Actually means: I’m playful! If you reach for my belly I’ll grab your arm and bite it because I think we’re playfighting! 

Lazily exposing belly - still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: I’m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please don’t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if I’m not ticklish and I know you well. Snapping at you while being pet Does not mean: I suddenly decided I dislike you! Actually means: You’re petting me in a way that gives me too much restless energy. Please focus on petting my head and shoulders instead of stroking the full length of my back next time.

Is in the same room but makes no attempt to interact Does not mean:  I’m ignoring you Actually means: We’re hanging out! I’m being respectful by giving you space while still enjoying your company. Slapping/scratching your hand when you try to pet them Does not mean: I hate you! Actually means: You’ve failed to establish that we’re not playing, or the way you’re approaching me scares me. Be calmer, speak more gently, make eye-contact and blink slowly at me before you try again.
