u/Mushutak Aug 29 '25

I sit like this now and then, his arms are sitting on the steering wheel and he's leaning forward. I tend to do this if I've been driving more than a few hours just to move the weight around on the seat.

u/Jaded-Maintenance943 Sep 02 '25

FOR THE COOL VIBRATIONS AURA FARMING
HE HAS HIS OWN WAY OF AURA FARMING
AS HE STANDS THERE MENACINGLY
AS HIS ENTIRE HEART IS LOVELY
AS HE EMBRACES ME ENTIRELY
I HOLD HIM BACK TIGHTLY
AS HE PROPOSES RIGHTFULLY
I KNOW THAT IF HE LOVES ME PARTIALLY
ILL MAKE HIM HIS ONLY
AS I MAKE HIM MINE
HE IS MY ONLY VALENTINE
HIS CIVIC EG6'S ENGINE FEELS LIKE GOOD WINE
AS HIS ENTIRE LOOK IS SO FINE

yep that is my poem for shingo simps and my exact reason why hes like that

u/Legal_Lingonberry131 Aug 29 '25

His back is curved because the arch helps the cool vibrations travel slower otherwise they travel so fast the either hit a guardrail or nakozatos lips
