Look All I'm Saying Is Jasper Could've Fixed Things Between Him And Hendrik In A More Healthy Way Rather

Would it be cringe if I wrote hyper-specific headcanons like “how the DQXI party would comfort you during finals week” or is that just renaissance behavior

DQXI Characters at a Pool Party

Erik

He’s there to have a Good Time. I don’t even think he packs a shirt or shoes. This man is rawdogging it with nothing but swim trunks and a towel. Not a fantastic swimmer by any means but he can survive the deep end of the pool yknow? Good luck pulling him out

His hair doesn’t lose any of its spikiness when it gets wet by the way

Veronica

Wears a pretty standard one piece swimsuit or tankini— it really just depends on what she’s able to find in her size

She’s not the most comfortable in the water but she certainly jumps in to try and have fun! Might spend more time chilling out on a floatie than actually swimming

Serena

She wears a cute little swim dress with a pretty polka dot pattern :) Spends most of her time wading or floating in the shallow end of the pool. Subtly tries to convince Veronica to play mermaids with her.

She actually really hates getting her hair wet so she’ll probably do it up in a bun.

Sylvando

He’s the host! His papi said he was allowed to have some friends over to their vacation home whenever he’d like to, so of course he sends out invites months in advance.

He’s so glamorous. Big floppy sun hat, chunky sunglasses, probably sandals with a wedge. Carrying around a mimosa at all times, whether he’s in the water or just walking around.

Jade

Probably one of the better swimmers, not because she’s properly trained but just because of her baseline strength. Tries to goad the girls into racing her or doing the best cannonball, ends up playing mermaids with them

Also loves lounging on a beachchair in the sun all day, being able to enjoy doing nothing without feeling bad about it

Rab

Wades in the shallow side like that one meme. Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In his lane. Focused. Flourishing.

No one put him in charge of grill duty but somehow he ended up there? He and Erik are like two dads standing in front of the grill with a bottle in their hands.

Hendrik

He’s got on swim trunks and one of those swim shirts because he likes keeping it modest. Not really one for swimming but he’ll sit at the edge of the pool and dip his feet in while chatting with the others

Until Jasper walks by and casually kicks him in

Jasper

Only there because Sylvando let everyone bring a plus one and Hendrik asked Jasper to join him. Spends a lot of time in the shade because he burns like paper in a fireplace.

After kicking Hendrik into the pool, they spend the rest of the day fighting with pool noodles. It escalates to the point where Sylvando threatens to call his father

DQXI Characters’ Niche Talents

This was an ask from @valeriewarrior137 but I accidentally posted it without fully answering and then deleted it 😭

Erik

He can guesstimate most measurements just by eyeballing them. Height, weight, distance, circumference. When you’re a thief, you’ve gotta know if your loot can follow you through the escape route.

Veronica

She’s an excellent climber, even with her shorter stature. She can scale trees, ledges, and even hop fences like nobody’s business.

Serena

She’s got a knack for learning new languages very quickly, and it helps out with how much traveling the party does. Her musical talents give her the ear for it!

Sylvando

With a stage presence like his? How could there ever be a talent the Great Sylvando hasn’t— it’s hunting. His father taught him. He can hit a target with a crooked crossbow from further away than any man should be able to.

Jade

She can forge someone’s signature to the point where it’s indiscernible. She’s never used this talent, despite how much Erik tries to convince her to

Rab

He can finish a sewing job with a good amount of competency! He taught himself how to when his daughter’s teddy bear ripped, and he was always there to help Jade out if she needed something hemmed!

Hendrik

He really enjoys gardening. He doesn’t get many opportunities to do it, but he’s read several books about botany, foraging, etc. and would love to keep his own plants one day

Jasper

He’s a very good singer! And he’s horribly embarrassed about it, surprising no one. It’s nothing professional, but it helps lift his mood when he’s feeling down

Which dqxi character like tea or coffee more? I personally think that the Luminary likes hot chocolate more lol

Big agree on Lumi being a hot chocolate enjoyer! I actually have a post about the DQXI characters’ Starbucks orders lol— but just tea or coffee in general? Lets see~

Erik

He wants to a black coffee person so bad, he thinks it’d make him look cool. Realistically, he can’t drink coffee without a bunch of creamer and sugar.

It does give him the jitters but only if he drinks a LOT.

Veronica

Coffee person for sure! But restaraunts never want to serve her coffee >:( she makes Serena order it for her

She likes Mexican hot chocolate too! Spicy and warm -w-

Serena

Totally a tea girlie. Loves settling down in the evenings with a nice warm cup of herbal tea in a big cozy mug with cute print on it.

Doesn’t mind coffee, just doesn’t prefer it. Has a surprisingly good tolerance for caffeine, though.

Sylvando

That man is from Mediterranean Europe, he drinks coffee more than he drinks water.

Doesn’t hate tea, but he’s very picky about it. Has to steep it perfectly. The tannic-ness can ruin it for him.

Jade

I think she’s pretty evenly split 50/50, but tea is just more common to her daily routine, especially because Rab always has some on hand.

I think if she had the opportunity to she’d maybe have a cup every morning to help wake her up.

Rab

Definitely prefers tea. Helps warm his heart and soothe his old bones.

Coffee is like a once in a while treat for him, especially if he’s having some pastries with it.

Hendrik

My partner headcanons that coffee plants are not native to Heliodor and I believe it. I think coffee gives Hendrik heartburn.

He drinks tea not because he prefers it but because he does not want his tummy to hurt.

Jasper

It’s canon that he loves lemon tea with too much sugar!

Has a better caffeine tolerance than Hendrik, but coffee can still make him nauseous if he drinks it too fast or has too much. Also drowns his coffee in sugar.

Fumi again..🐟🐟🐟
