ce soir?

I think it's meant to be taken like this: Vriska just interrupted Aranea's long-winded monologue to both shut her up and push the limelight over to herself, and she used the hug as punctuation on that. She then, to Meenah, made the 'gag-me' signal to wordless say 'She never shuts up, does she?' In response, Meenah did the 'wank' motion to basically say, 'Yeah, it's like she gets off on this stuff.' Or, at least, that's how I read it.

i think that would fit better than the actual meaning of it!

can you get a picture of a bee of sollux?

i

what

Do you think the wanking might be a stabbing motion?

yes stabbing your dick

it’s the same motion of jacking off??? like if you know how a guy masturbates and then you do that in the air, back and forth quickly–congratulations you are now calling someone a wanker

oh but make sure your wrist is loose? it looks a lot better when you kinda curve your wrist instead of just shaking your arm

I keep seeing hanging scalemates on people's blogs as fandom scarves, and you don't have any in your masterlist. Any idea where I can find them?

sometimes i feel like we have

let me just say, your nationality is showing

i don’t know if this is meant to be an insult or just a general statement

i'm american and i've heard male masturbation referred to as "wanking"

yeah wanking is masturbating but it’s clearly not that context

i mean obviously i can’t speak for every british person, but i kind of think hussie might have used the sign in the wrong context? i don’t know, maybe it’s used differently in america but.. 

at least where i live, you usually make the hand signal while shouting at someone that they’re a wanker? it’s a really kinda.. lower class (chavish?) action to make and it’s very masculine and very.. offensive in a way that it just shows blatant disrespect and you don’t really use it 1:1? it’s sort of used in front of a group of people to make the other person look like a twat.. it’s strongly associated with being something people of ~lower intelligence~ do

so i personally don’t think it’s being used in the way that i think it should be? but maybe that’s just my knowledge from football and pub fights

meenah is basically showing disrespect towards aranea, and i think it’s being used in the same way vriska is making gagging noises (which again, is a context i’ve personally never seen before)

idk why am i going into the anaylsis of a dumb hand gesture

Wait are you British?

yes?

Im pretty sure the wank wank thing was supposed to be similar to sort of obscene gesture without being too obscene. I think it sort of implies "ugh, fuck off"

ahh but,, thats not the context in which it’s used? i’ve never seen someone use it to mean fuck off?

i use it all the time and it just means the person you’re doing it towards is a bit of a tosser? or they’re saying something which sounds like wank/bullshit

ahah its just the connotations of being a wanker
