Sniper & Spy's Friendship Begins 🦀✨

Ah yes, they are absolutely fated to become friends and beyond! 🤭💖

Stoppp, I barely got in the socializing part, yet their first interactions are already extremely sweet. That's dangerous for my blood sugar! 😭📈📈

Believe it or not, that's the first item I received from Sniper. 😩🧻

Ah yes, in Sniper's POV, Spy's definitely short. 😌

😭💖 Ughh, I should get the full game soon!! I can't wait to boost these idiots' romantic journey (and give them proper clothes). 👇😤✨🦀

While I stayed over at my best friend's house, I signed to her, "SORRY, LONG SHOWER 🚿 I DAYDREAM--" I raised a hand over my head to fingerpsell sniper and spy, "--SO DISTRACTED, CAN'T PUSH THEM OFF HEAD." 👋😫

While I was with her outside and saw a new fanfic announcement on my phone, I signed with excited eyes, "WANT READ NEW CHAPTERS LATER--" Again, to finish off, I fingerspelled sniper and spy poorly because my poor fingers couldn't catch up fast to my excitement.

Later again at her house, I dropped my eReader onto my lap in joy and signed, "AH FINISHED LAST TWO CHAPTERS!!! SO GOOD I LOVE SN…IP…SP…! (UGH) NOT FINGERSPELL FAST!" Anyway, she understood what I just fingerspelt. 😅 She's already used to me typing this nonsense and feels for sooo long. She's not even a TF2 fan nor a Deafie, but didn't mind seeing me signing about SniperSpy in excitement all day. Thank goodness she's my best friend who understands me well. 💖✨

Back to the conversation, I kept on signing, even more sloppily but aggressively, "WHY THEY DESTROY ME. STAB (MY) BACK. SHOOT (MY) HEAD, LIKE THE GAME. WHY THEM SO GOOD I LOVE THOSE TWO IN LOVE?! WHY I CRAZY FOR THEM?" 😭 I pretended to faint into the couch, as if I got killed in TF2. My best friend smiled, signing to me that I was adorable. The passionate way I acted over a couple of fictional men. 🙈 Stoppp! I'm just so animated in ASL.

Suddenly, I sat up and signed, "I NEED SIGN FOR S--S-SN--! 😫 SIGHHH YOU SEE WHY!" At this point, I didn't want to fingerspell them anymore. I was getting fatigued, and it's midnight. Anyway, I finally decided to make a sign for SniperSpy!! It's not the first time I've made one because I've created signs for video games and TV shows before, which allows me to discuss them with my ASL friends and family. Funny, I haven't even made a sign for Team Fortress 2, but it's not important enough (no offense)! 😂

Back to the conversation, my poor friend continued to witness more of my nonsense. I pondered, playing with my hands, "shoot, backstab? Double S? Too boring. Literal knife party? Oh right, Bloody Suit?" Whoa, it didn't take me long to sign "BLOODY SUIT" (not literally). To sign "blood", I motioned a wiggling hand down from the mouth to portray dipping blood, and then abruptly drew a necktie down with "S" in a straight line. Funny, my friend didn't even question what I really meant, and repeated this and seemed like "ah, that's simple." Funny, she showed it to her partner, who just entered the living room at the right time. Welp, that's good!

Honestly, I was surprised like "That's it?? Wow, that's easier to create than I expected" because the sign doesn't appear too offensive, considering ASL can be a bit graphic around words. 💀 It probably doesn't seem too direct to hearies. Keep in mind that any sign I created is not official in ASL vocabulary. This is similar to getting a personalized sign name given by a Deaf person, depending on the connection with the person who receives the sign name. As a Deafie, I technically gifted a sign name to SniperSpy in my appreciation, though that's absolutely personal to me, even if I don't use the sign often. Even if I don't have anybody else to discuss this with. It's special enough that I might need it again.
