You all somehow like this, so I made more
DQXI Party Members and how likely it is that I would trust them to drive my car (if they knew what cars were)
Erik
Absolutely not. Jumping off cliffs is a character motif of his. I'm not even sure if I'd let him ride as a passenger princess.
I think if he were behind the wheel he'd be far too confident in himself AND the car. Would drive as if his deftness and agility stats transfer to the vehicle, like being attuned to a weapon. That is not the case.
Drives with the fervor of a soccer mom late for her three kids' practice. Would absolutely make an illegal U-turn.
Veronica
Officer that is a child.
Serena
Now I don't think that she'd be terrible but she'd be the opposite of Erik. I think she'd respect the car for the beast that it is, but I think she'd fear it.
Drives like grandmother who's just trying to get to the grocery store that's five minutes away from her house because she needs some eggs.
I couldn't put her on a highway, I couldn't do that to her.
Sylvando
The safest driver. I actually don’t think I can with my whole heart trust anyone else behind the wheel.
The passenger princess has no control over his playlist and it's exclusively Charlie XCX, Kim Petras, and Dua Lipa.
Drives like he passed his license exam on the first try. His parallel parking is awe inspiring. His merging is smother than his skin. The sheer aura that he emanates from behind that wheel ensures that no other drivers try anything stupid because they'd be embarrassed if he saw them do that.
Jade
You will not convince me that her road rage would be the most devastating out of anyone else in the party have you heard her in combat. "Try and dodge this-" no thank you <3
I don't think she drives recklessly, I think she's very safe and knows the rules of the road. Would not make an illegal U-turn or cut anyone off. However, when she drives, she is sending a message, and that message is "I've got places to be."
Drives like she placed an order for takeout/pick-up and just wants her goddamn food. She's had a long day, she'd like to eat before 10pm, and if her fries are soggy then someone will experience consequences.
Rab
I actually think he might be too short.
Honestly? Not an awful driver. Drives very defensively, a little on the slower side, pays absolutely no mind to bullshit that other people on the road try to pull.
Drives like a 16 year old on the way to the mall. Unbothered. In his lane. Really just enjoying the fact that he's going on a little ride.
Hendrik
Other than Sylvando, literally the only other party member I would actually allow to drive my car.
Is so scared of the car but you would never know.
Drives like a salaryman trying to get home after his 9-5, please just let me go because if I need to spend even ten more minutes trapped inside this metal box I will cry.
Jasper
I really don't know about this one bestie like I wanna say he's a good driver but I think that he's also far too overconfident in himself.
Honestly. Also drives like a mother, except she's trying to get her children to school and THEN rush off to her own job.
I do think he'd make an excellent passenger princess with questionable music taste. Does prefer taking the train.
Holy shit you literally are Sylvando, that cosplay is amazing!!
Had a fun Sylvando photoshoot with @kikirishima a while back! He's so fabulous and fun to wear
I cannot tell you how many hours I spent constantly grinding in the same spot to get all the necessary seeds to max out Erik's attack stat, I deadass used keybinds and would let it run for hours
I ended up breaking the bank from the sheer number of other weapons I had collected from the monsters I fought
The good news: Seeds of Defence boost by four points. The bad news: Seeds of Therapeusis boost by two points. Seeds of Sorcery boost by two points. Seeds of Agility boost by two points. Seeds of Deftness boost by one point. Pretty Betsys boost by one point.
I want you to know that among my friends, the time keeper has been affectionately named the Time Milf
Your beautifully drawn shitpost reminded me of this, thank you lol

fuck it, no matter how long it takes me i'm gonna finish all the inktober prompts dammit!
i picked a great sabrecub for day 2 because look at this guy, he absolutely scurries

i decided to have some fun and merge Dragon Quest XI with the inktober prompts, so here's a grim gryphon dressed as a witch!
oh my GOD that outfit is so good!!! I wish I had your talent!!
ALMOST DONE...
I adore your galaxy brain, and I also raise you this idea: Rab looks at Ogler's Digest magazines because he wants to be like the girls in the magazines. In one of the 2D quests, a bunch of old men are turned into bunny girls. If you talk to Rab at some point in the quest, he says "Hm, maybe I could become a bunny girl? Aye, that wouldnae be so bad—it might give me a new lease of life!"
Ever since then, I've just imagined that when Rab said he was reading the magazines for the articles, he was telling the truth because he wanted to learn how to become a bunny girl. I love that option so much more than the old "horny grandpa" trope.
somehow my one celibate hendrik text post is like the most popular thing I’ve ever contributed to the dragon quest community and every so often people still comment on it.
anyway I also have opinions on rab do you guys wanna hear them
can we please pair this meme with @scrimmification's description of Hendrik anytime anything horny happens
Thinking about them.
not to post opinions about media on main but every time I open hendrik’s wiki page for drawing references I always catch the part in his bio where whoever wrote it calls him “perverted” and I really have to wonder. did I play the same game as everyone else? I have to know what in-text convinced people that hendrik is secretly lecherous like rab is. from what I gather it’s genuinely just the running gag about the porno magazine and that he’s generally attracted to women but… listen. I don’t care how gallant and heroic the guy is. he’s not getting any. he’s the most repressed man I’ve ever seen before in my entire life. I know in my heart of hearts he’s collecting those magazines the same way someone collects vintage lego. just staring at unclothed women and nodding like yes the photography on this is fantastic. every time he’s tried to start a relationship he treats it like he’s signing a blood oath and not in a romantic way. its in the kind of way where you wish therapy was invented just so he could have it. he’s at any given moment one stressor away from a heart attack. he canonically reacts to women being attracted to him by looking like he’s gonna die of embarassment. and you’re gonna tell me you think he’s horny. that if he even thought about boobs at an inopportune moment he wouldn’t just take his greatsword and chop his dick off.
i love these two bastards, you did an amazing job writing them
wrote a sylvando/hendrik fic WOAGH lol 🤙
takes place a little bit after the fraternity/chivalry sidequest where hendrik feels bad about being snooty and while the two of them take a walk they rub their two braincells together like “im gay but im not gay bc that would be gay lol woaaaah what could it all mean”
emotionally stunted old queens are stupid, rated G for Gay Gazing

Ok but no here's the thing, I deadass got halfway through making an animatic about him with the song "Family of Me" from Over the Hedge. It fits so fucking well with his situation in the game, it's not even funny
Modern day erik’s favorite movie is probably Over the Hedge just sayin
