i need to reblog this because i just did this to my younger bro and he made me pinky swear never to do it again.

stephicness:

So there’s this thing that I learned in college (yeah, college) known as the Jellyfish.

Basically, when you’re reaching to fist-bump or high five or something like that to a person, you suddenly pull your hand away in a movement that mimics a Jellyfish, followed by the obligatory declaration, ‘JELLYFISH!’ Kinda like a version of psyching a person out by retreating your hand last minute.

Alternatively, you can do this with a hug, in which you just move your arms like a Jellyfish and shout ‘BIGGER JELLYFISH!’ in response.

Why do I bring this up?

Imagine Prompto doing this to people.

Noctis is about ready to bro-fist his friend after a successful encounter with the MT soldiers, and Prompto just goes, ‘Jellyfish!’ and drifts his hand away. Noctis has to facepalm because he always falls for that. ALWAYS.

Prompto greets Ignis at an important meeting in regards to Prompto’s training with the Crownsguard, but on instinct, he reaches to take Ignis’s hand and just drifts his hand away. ‘Jellyfish!’ Ignis stands there, gawking, offended, just looking at his empty hand until Prompto awkwardly takes his hand and shakes it for Ignis to relax.

Gladiolus having a rough day, and Prompto wanting to comfort him. He tells the big guy to ‘reel it in,’ among one of the FIRST warnings that Prompto’s going to do it. And just when he’s about to hug Gladio… ‘BIGGER JELLYFISH!’ Gladiolus is furious and shouts ‘BARRACUDA!’ before he chases Prompto to slam him into a bear-trap of a hug.

The list can continue, I feel.

But it’s even better when you picture Prompto aggressively Jellyfishing away from Verstael in Episode Prompto.
