At least she wasn't trying to dye her tail brown.
Sorry this is a bit late. Life happened.

Anonymous asked: So Gillie, you're a redhead now, but did you ever experiment with other colorsor styles when you were younger? How easy is it to dye your hair and stuff in the future? (Does Dirtball have a hairdresser??)
Gillie: It's been many colors, having white hair makes it very easy to experiment. I spent a few years in college as pink, but I've settled on orange for now. The annoying part has always been staining my lashes and eyebrows to match. Idrisah has suggested I get gene therapy to become a permanent redhead, but that would probably make my body hair darker, too. No thanks, I'd have to shave even more often... Shikaviil having a hairdresser is a funny joke. Most people here cut their own hair. I just use a box dye.
Curona asked: Gillie, have you ever dyed your tail? How did that go?
Gillie: I tried that as a teen... There were, uh... Technical issues.

100 years in the future and now we can live in space but we still haven’t figured out box dye 💀

Full body dyeing sounds cool in theory, but the amount of clothes ruined from that would be abysmal..

“And to this day Idrisah still occasionally calls me pinkbutt…”

What does a sign for “uh…” look like?

I’m not an expert at all but from what I know it usually looks like vague hand gestures, a pause, or drawing out the last word you said. Linguistically, um is a filler word, meant to keep you talking while you think.

Gillie’s dialog is an English translation, not a direct ASL transcription. But there’s a lot of ways to portray that you’re pausing to think in ASL, including a “pondering” facial expression, fluttering your fingers, or drawing out a previous sign.

If/when you release more info about your conlangs, could you also have something about the ASL signs created for this comic? Specifically remembering the sign Gillie used for ‘wormhole’ and wondering what other ones I missed. (I know thats not what ‘uh’ is but its making me think about this)

Jay said on that page it’s the only one they’ve created for the comic iirc!

I only know a very little smattering of Auslan (To greet students, and a few swearwords) and no ASL, so it all looks new to me! I do think her hands are beautifully drawn, I suspect the American audience is getting a lot more out of this than me! I should have asked her if she knows any more human sign languages than this ASL variant when I had the chance. Oh well!
Light_In_The_Fog
Most Americans don’t know any ASL. Idk if its different for y’all in australia?
