Hey Bo!

Can I ask what sign language Dario uses again? I think you’ve mentioned before that he’s mute in your Wish!AU. Is it Russian or German? I can’t remember unfortunately, sorry 😅

(Also, is there a reference you use when drawing characters who use sign language? Sorry if this sounds dumb.)

Hi Flicker! No problem, I don’t think I clarified this earlier— this doesn’t sound dumb at all!

I found this ask in my drafts hidden in the dump but here is what I wrote before:

So. I didn’t exactly put too much thought behind Dario’s sign. He is mute (as is Dopey), and I originally drew him using BSL or ASL. But this ask got me thinking, and I explored a few different sign language options and narrowed them down to these two:

1. There’s obviously ASL. Disney is an American brand, so it would make sense that their character would use American Sign. (Wait. In other countries, do they just reanimate everything?)

2. There’s also SSL, as Rosas is a Spanish country.

I really wasn’t sure what to draw Dario using, but as this is a visual comic over Tumblr. But I think I’m going with American Sign.

Now, however, as I’m now (like five months late 😭) in Sign-101, I’ll probably be using ASL as that’s what I’m learning. I would love to do SSL if possible, but since I'm not familiar with the language, I won't be drawing SSL most of the time. I don't want to make an error as they're very easy to do in sign.

As for references, it’s mainly just what I’m learning from my professors. ASL Gloss is the grammar structure used for word arrangement in sign, but I want to figure out a way to incorporate gifs in my comics if I ever need Dario to fingerspell anything. He’d probably give sign names to his friends (and the king and queen probably have one, Asha too) so I might figure that out. But I am not deaf, and only deaf people should give out sign names, so I’ll have to do some more research.

For words I don’t know it’s mainly Google 😅 I try to cross-reference multiple sources to make sure what I’m drawing is generally correct

So sorry for the late response!

hi, will we see hephaestus and hades later? have a great day!

Hi, thanks for asking!

Neither of them have been in any released snippets so far, and telling you if either were in the rest of the musical would be spoilers… but you may get the answer to your question by following us and staying up to date on what we're posting! 👀
