No. What nomination?
Hehe, I was trying to 'volunteer' someone else. I presume I can't do that, can I? But I guess it's a moot point. Still, a lot is happening and the hype is getting to my head.
Plan B, may I be the fodder instead?

Jutsu the fact that crossing one's arms can signal anger, closed to conversation and distress is quite informative, interesting yet that how tightly you fold your arms signals which one you are. I don't see much wrong with this list as that I can relate to it when I go through my own emotions. I need to work harder on fitting this type of stuff in my writing though hahaha. I agree, it's a lot easier to understand what someone's saying if you can understand body gestures.

Well, its only cos I began the story by writing about teh people I knew best. Later on when the bottom 20 gets into the mix, I might just dash them into a random personality or some shit

I honestly dont think Ai is gonna be in this. As I said before, not everyone will be innit to reduce speculation based on process of elimination. Aaaaaand I hav no idea what you will do yet but my mind is leaning on an upcoming orgy with some clan leaders

no seriously. Me and acute peg it at ch 7 or 8

It should be noted that reading gestures alone is not enough. Crossed arms could just mean that the person is cold. Or afraid. Or anything reminiscent of a recent experience. Reading people requires intimate knowledge, research, and background checks. It also needs context.

I suspect that he initiated the handshakes, because he was excited about meeting a new person and potential friend. He had over heard me talking about how I love meeting new people and want to make more friends when he approached us.
But that he was palm facing up, since he just had to call the cops on his psychotic girlfriend and right now just doesn't feel like fighting over anything at all.

More accurately crossing arms indicates defensiveness, though it can indicate anger specifically. Like I said, body language should be read in clusters. Someone could be crossing their arms because it's cold, but if they're crossing their arms and scowling, they could be angry or upset.
So don't make too many assumptions on what a single motion could represent. For example scratching ones neck with their index finger could indicate lying, but it could also indicate an itchy neck. Which is why it's important to read body language in sentences.

Because I main ivysaur in project m. I've played so many games competitively that I've given up on picking a character simply because they're cool. I tried every character on the roster and when I selected ivysaur I immediately realized that I resonated with her play style greatly, more so than any other character. She compliments my preferred play style more than any other character. And no matter how lame she is, no matter how much people don't like it, she's my character damnit and I rock so hard with her.

My plans for Raptor are now much more...different. No idea how he's going to react to it.

Ho boy.

Yeah, it's gonna be a real adjustment
Although I'm sure I'll find a character that's suited to my play style out of the new roster
I was pretty upset when Lucas didn't make the cut though, like earthbound gets no love
