Character Trope concept (#3?)
A character who was born mute/had a horrible accident, completely destroying their ability to speak, now only speaks through images.
Character speaks in essentially gifs and memes because they can't speak otherwise, and if they're in a group chat, then they might just leave reactions under stuff because they're so used to not actually being able to get the words across.
Their phone/device gallery is just filled with memes and images that they send to others to talk to them.
When they figured out emojis, it was a huge game changer because now, they could be a bit more specific.
Or just say no to modern setting and make it seem like their from a place in the past where technology doesn't exist.
They hand draw each image and keep the image in pristine condition for as long as they can, just taking a box of images with them so they can talk to others.
Other people in said world like this idea of sending messages through images and start making their own as well.
Thank you for your time.
C.: "Okay, Character trope concept I thought up of (loosely based on an actual friendship that I know of):
* 2 characters who are incredibly rude to eachother (casual insult, rarely refer to eachother by name, instead using insults to refer to them)
* incredibly toxic to one another (if left alone, one will start hitting the other, fight might break out)
* people think they're a couple and one [character A] embraces it "for the bit" (as they claim) and the other is very vocal about hating it [character B]
* Character B actually thinks about it (still hates it) and realize...
They would actually work.
* Character A realizes this too and loves it, still continues tormenting Character B, finding it funny
* Character A and Character B are best friends, but both call each other gay due to how they act with other friendships (both are the opposite sex. Character B is nothing but nice to Character C, Characer A hates/tolerates everyone equally and actually is dating someone)
Thank you for your time."
