#sonic tm

mod! Bee:

Great question! Actually a good amount of the known cast knows some signs! Here's the specifics tho :D

Mickey and Oswald are fluent but rusty. It'd be janky and unnatural but It'd get the point across. their mother was fluent and taught them it growing up (im going down the epic mickey ds game route for their family and dynamic lol)

Jessica and her husband rodger are also fluent! Jessica learned it specifically because she wanted to go into teaching and felt heartbroken when she couldn't talk to some students directly. She is also fluent in Spanish for this reason. (She and her husband have sign names given to them by a deaf kid :D)

Sonic understands ASL but he doesn't understand signing it back so there's an interpreter for him

The rest of the teachers either only know a few (bathroom, water, lunch, recess. Thats about it) signs or know nothing </3

As for dyles immediate friend group:

Dandy: he's kind of good at it? He can do small talk but not hold an actual conversation. It's also grammatically incorrect and actually SEE (signing exact english) sign language not asl </3

Shelly: she only recognizes specific signs, definitely not able to hold a conversation.

Vee: she's fluent but she's slow. (She just looks up how to sign everything lol)

sprout: he wants to learn, but none of the signs retain so he has to relearn them over and over and over again (they write to each other instead)

Astro: the most naturally fluent of the group, but hes hard to understand as he'd randomly switch which set of arms he's using to sign.

(Only dandy has a sign name, and only because dyle got tired of signing dandicus over and over again when talking about him)

And for b/c bros

Bendy: not a clue. Never even conceptualized asl as a thing. Believes dyle is making it up on the spot (in the way he really looks up to dyle for it, if that makes sense)

Boris: only knows a few signs, not anything substantial or noteworthy

Mugman: the most fluent of the group! In the same way someone would be the tallest hobbit....

Cuphead: somehow worse than bendy

mod bee: wonderful question! I dont have everyone planned out yet, but I can share what I do have now :D

As we know, Jessica is teaching the class the gang™ are in. She's very kind and the kids seem to love her.

Mario is the go to substitute for most of the teachers in the school. Hes not good at giving orders but the kids respect him enough to listen to him

Sonic does PE and health, I dont know if I have more to say on that lol. Tails drops by sometimes as a TA.

Made these two grade teachers cause I feel like it fits, bugs as a teacher will become more relevant later though :>

Now for the new characters! I really love animaniacs so i made them teachers who constantly interrupt each other's classes for gags

Since technology is advancing most schools have an electronics teacher in their elementary school, so I made game and watch in charge of it

Lastly ans most importantly, mickey and Oswald! Them being principal and vice principal respectfully. They dont do much out of their offices but will sub if needed

Fun fact, Oswald used to be a principal when mickey taught, but now they've sort of switched
