I have an offering during my inability to draw bc my hand is in incredible pain with 5 am brain-
What if Derek survive the merge but now mute. But bc his stubborn of want to communicate with Avery in anyway & his infinite knowledge.
He try communicate by ASL
But having infinite knowledge truly mean you can execute it?
He want to communicate with Avery so much and Avery willing to learn bc he want Derek to be seen.
This goes to my concept for my other writing for this au too, of “having infinite knowledge doesn’t mean you know what you doing bc emotion will take over the logic, always.”
That concept I work with Kyle
Now I want to put it in the context of Derek.
Yes he know all the languages in the world after brain blast, but have to work through the language and express cues of ASL. The expression both the sign and face have to be clear to communicate, or else the sign will have different meanings.
Even if he can look at people sign and understand, can he do it himself.
It not about the knowledge, but if he can pass through his ego and his close off to go through it for someone
I want to explore Derek’s ego, how it can be a good (and attractive af trait-) but also how it can be a big negative to people he care for.
Especially with ASL too, you have to be direct, he can’t be fully cryptic about it. So he have to put his emotions bare to Avery if he want to communicate to clearly
The frustration of actually know something but can’t fully express it as he want to from the mix of him don’t want to be fully vulnerable and his ego being bruised from that fact alone.
Infinite knowledge doesn’t mean shit if you not use it properly.
And Avery end, he would be so good at this language if he actually learned it right. He so expressive and all. And might be one language he learn quicker than Derek compared to others.
His memorization (especially with the grammar structure) will be shit, but expression and sign association with meaning will come faster for Avery.
He have to live through that for once he might be good at something but he can’t fully feel join since Derek have such difficulty doing so. Little did he know Derek want to get ASL right so he can communicate with Avery in anyway shape and form.
