this was originally a meme redraw but for the life of me I can't find the original image. I definitely improved a lot even when drawing shitpost haha

Characters with communication barriers who care about each other anyways have my heart

You know what’s an underrated trope? Language barriers. The frustration of not being able to communicate. The determination to figure it out anyway. The love and dedication to learn. The secret languages and charades made along the way. The “wait what” sillies when learning what a word or phrase actually means as opposed to what a character thought it meant.

Language barriers.

I always seem to come back to stand still stay silent. Lalli’s my fave, so I made a lil art piece. 

Image Id: Full body of Lalli from stand still stay silent in his uniform from adventure 1. He’s holding a small knife in front of his face with his right hand. His left is down by his side, glowing with red mage magic. 3 trees and a purple, twilight sky are behind him. At his feet the snow is trampled. Around his is a ring of blood splatters.
