Just... get on with the explanation.

Picnic date 🧺

Gilbert gets sunburnt easily. Roderich tends to overheat. The first thing they do when they get to the park is find shade.

Before lunch, Gilbert usually naps. Roderich likes to read but he ends up joining Gilbert by dozing off (the heat makes him sleepy).

Sakura is Gilbert’s tattoo artist/piercer. When Roderich is asked to tag along, he impulsively gets a tattoo of a lavender on his hip ✨

“suffering feels religious if you do it right” no shut up it doesn’t. my friends laughing in the kitchen while i make dinner feels religious. the sun on my face after a long winter feels religious.

you know in films where a character’s reading a book in a library or bookshop or something? and their s/o sees and comes up behind them? and they do the thing where they hug them from behind, put their head in the crook of the other person’s neck, kiss their cheek and join them with reading the book????? yeah that’s love

im gonna sound fucking high; but there’s just something about minecraft ‘body language’, man.

the way people crouch and do little bounces/bows to say hello, i’m friendly! the way they punch as a substitute for pointing or waving hello. the slow pulling out of weapon as a threat, quickly removing armor to show you are peaceful. sticking little signs in the ground and writing messages. the way people‘s avatars go still when they are thinking, or laughing so much their hands came off the keyboard. square eye contact. jumping, spinning, bobbing your head to music. punching your friend jokingly.

half of it is human perception but the other half is ways of communication we created ourselves, because people just are like that. they express themselves.

i know its just a block game but looking at it is so soothing and im feeling emotional tonight

This is something I find deeply fascinating. The sheer amount of emotion our little block men can communicate. There’s something really human about how we perceive emotion and body language, and it’s genuinely fascinating that we’ve created another set of in-game “rules” for communication.

i propose some more little minecraft body language things!!!

blocking??? there are so many different meanings when you’re blocking!!! sneaking while blocking is a sign of surrender!! (i’d fucking know) while just blocking at someone is normally a taunt!!! and then bouncing at someone while doing that old school block with your sword??? friendly!!! how did we come up with this??? idk!!!!!

spinning!!! you’ve ever been on a server and just see someone start fucking spazzing??? and how you instantly, without question, spin with them???? its so sweet!!!! omg!!!!

this ones weirder, but i love love LOVE watching people scroll thru their hotbar,, looking for that one important item they need,,, scroll little buddy!!!!

sneaking is so. its so good. op already brought this up but ACK!! sneaking at someone random only for them to start bouncing and sneaking back!!!!!! aWA!!! and snuggles!!!! with animals too!!!

THE FACT THAT PEOPLE SHAKE THEIR HEAD YES AND NO AND SHIT???? PERFECTION!!!!!!! LITERALLY PERFECT!!!

and there’s so many more too!!! how did we invent this language??? no clue!!! but we all know it!!!!!

telebow

hope it’s ok if i add on more, but love how we can communicate so much thru little block characters and im happy to see other people talking about it :D

i know shifting’s been mentioned a lot, but 2 people shifting and slowly moving towards each other like a hug

standing in front of an afk buddy waiting for them to come back and see ur face filling their entire screen

“pointing” to things by looking between the thing and person you’re trying to direct and furiously left clicking

s l o w l y turning your head to look someone in the eyes.. shaking your head “no” to get someone to stop attacking you

language and how it forms and evolves is fascinating to me, and i just love how much we can comprehend from these stiff little movements in games. its a little language of its own that no one has a rule book for, we all just know

THE POST GOT BETTER

i gotta say, the joke of just absoultely slowly doing something, but very consistently: that only works in virtual environments. so does the “snap head between two+ things and then immediately jump in the nearest hole” joke. it’s a whole system, like, actually a whole system of communication- my friend and i voice chat while playing games and you wouldnt imagine the number of times i’ve just stood, in lava, for a joke, not moving, staring directly at him. its fucking hilarious, seeing the stupid bullshit you can do when you aren’t constrained by pain or reality

dropping in from a high height, just fucking standing there, as if saying a pickup line

spamming left click on someone as a joke

sneaking when you and a friend are trying to be stealthy and seeing them do something thatd make noise and wildly shaking your head

there is a language to minecraft and when you play it long enough you speak it instinctively, almost

I attended a Minecraft wedding and it concluded with a round of applause as everyone rapidly switched the item in their off hand to produce a clapping noise.

no fucking better scene in the league of extraordinary gentlemen than the one in which, right after capturing this huge disgusting ape-man-thing, they chain it up, it of course is beating everyone up and roaring, and then. its hunter walks up to it, calls him a criminal and a nasty little sewage boy. and the fucking ape-man-thing STARTS SPEAKING IN THE FUCKING QUEEN’S ENGLISH. then he becomes a twink.
