I imagined those ZYX pictures in order from left to right as 1. ZYX watching Male Posturing from a distance while sneering 2. Trying to maintain personal space bubble from WWX, unknowing of how badly they need to throw hands 3. Genuinely can't decide between ZYX weighing the pros and cons of beating some fool's ass, or judging the bestie. Possibly both at the same time, ZYX is multitalented like that

you're pretty much spot on lol

1) 'hmm. that sure is some fucking nonsense.'

2) 'please fucking? don't? wwx?' (or as much as they'll let themself grimace)

3) likely a "jzx, yet another guniang falls victim to your attitude, hm?" face; the 'i'll genuinely fucking feed you your teeth' face is def more like ಠ_ಠ rather than still... uh, idk, coy? (but this is def the ch 11 pre-fight face)

(glad you think that zyx is talented in being shady lol)

(idk mine/zyx's glares open the eyes rather than narrow them)

bonus faces of judgement, complete w the dead fisheyes:

1) 'ew ew ew ew what the fuck?!' < something grosser than wwx menacing zyx's personal boundaries happened

2) 'hmm. interesting. but wrong.' or the expression that haunts zhou le when zyx is Plotting like ↓

LWJ's social skills are the Lan's flimsiest and somehow also mightiest firewall.

can't hack the firewall if you can't interact with it (more like, it won't interact w you)

(i dont fucking know how hacking works)

if you get through to him,

you're in

define “socially appropriate” times djaksjska i laughed too much bro with the Casey Frey ‘GOMF’ meme

because I’m a pedant for the dumbest shit, i gotta explain in detail

‘weird wiggle’ is like... my idle animations/walk cycle. i think they’ve become over-exaggerated in the past decade (decade jfc) or so in my friend group bc we like to mock of each other and then mimic each others’ mimics... and through this positive feedback loop we unironically start adopting the ‘worst’ versions of ourselves

each animation has associated settings/uses:

1. the hallway scuttle/stair bounce walk cycle     - walking in the transition areas of my home     - returning from a ‘serious’ event (post-meeting/conference/formal gathering)     - conveys levity and lack of urgency vs typical ‘srs-militant-elephant-stomps’

2. the unruly starburst     - when i want to break free     - i want to break free     - my bf needs a quick way to see from his periphery that i need real outside     - funny to mess up my friends’ beds (and they do the same to mine)

3. little raccoon hands, naughty skeleton hands, finger wiggling     - when i get to do ‘things’ (implies that they are mischievous and/or fun)     - acceptable when assigned to fun work or to give a verbal smackdown     - when things go according to keikaku (professionally)     - when asked to spill the tea (personally, professionally, academically)

4. synchro-wiggle calibration     - when waiting for a thing/food/late friend     - one person starts, and everyone joins in to ensure group harmony     - checking in if everyone is still vibin’/ok/not hangry

5. the double-pendulum swagger (my bf called me out for forgetting this)     - either very happy to go somewhere or i don’t fucking wanna go     - appropriate anywhere that has a low population density     - basically most of outside due to quarantine     - (idgaf i’ll waddle around however i want it’s my right as a tax-paying citizen)
