DQXI Characters and how they’d comfort you during finals week

Because this game is the only thing getting me through postgrad

Erik

At first it seems like he doesn’t really care that much but he’s actually just trying to stay out of your way. He thinks he’ll just distract you, and he doesn’t want to be another obstacle for you.

Wants to support you as best he can, but you’ll need to be direct with what it is he can do. Say the word and he’d have the sword of light in your hands if you really wanted it.

Please for the love of Erdrea do not ask this man to proofread your papers or he might start crying.

Veronica

The older sister instinct kicks in for sure. All of her advice is completely unsolicited, but she just wants you to succeed! Would sit and help you take notes, listen to you practice presenting, and offers excellent feedback

Wants to make sure you’re happy and healthy and not losing yourself to your work. Reminds you to drink water, throws a blanket over you when you fall asleep at your desk.

That doesn’t stop her from nagging you and calling you lazy when you wake up.

Serena

Offers to help with everything, even if it’s a little distracting sometimes.

Very she’s committed to being there for you. If you pull an all nighter, she’d volunteer to stay up right there next to you. She’d still end up falling asleep before you do, but it’s the thought that counts.

Would very much offer to do things like cook, clean, walk your dog while you focus on your studies. She wants to lessen your load as much as possible.

Sylvando

Retail therapy <3 He spoils you with little gifts, whether it’s a new purse or even some cute stationary so that highlighting the 7th textbook you’ve read is a little less painful

Your number one cheerleader. Postgrad degrees are serious commitments and acts of dedication to something you must care about, and he knows this.

Sylvando would do everything he can to reaffirm your confidence in yourself. It would make him sad to see something you care so much about bring you stress, so his top priority is making sure you smile.

Jade

I think she’s the type to wake up early in the morning to go to the gym. Before she leaves, she’d make your breakfast and set it on the table so it’s there when you wake up.

When she comes back to you, she has two iced coffees and a little box of pastries from the coffee store for you two share while she sits with you.

The way she supports you is very quiet and casual, but consistent. Does her best to keep you as routine oriented as possible. She knows responsibilities are daunting and she doesn’t want to see you run away from them.

Rab

He’s a little bit like an old dad who forgot how to do long division trying to help you get your fifth grade math homework done, but the spirit is there

Always offers to give you breaks. Want to come with me to the grocery store? Feeling like McDonald’s? Come sit on the porch with me and watch the sunset for a few minutes. Let’s watch some TV together tonight.

Brings cut fruit to your room when he knows you’re locked in and need to focus. Always leaves motivational post it notes throughout the house.

Hendrik

If you weren’t anxious enough about your work as it is, he (unintentionally) makes it worse. He’s a little bit on top of you, he remembers your deadlines better than you do and he will not let you forget them.

You might tell him to back off because he is just a tad bit making everything so much worse. He will be so apologetic, and from that point on he’s at your beck and call.

Need a break? Let’s take Obsidian for a walk. Hungry? He’ll bring food home for you. He’s got your favorite orders memorized. Need to cry? He’ll hold the tissue box, help you wash your face afterwards, and hold you if you really need him to.

Jasper

It feels like he’s actively antagonizing you. What, you’re having a hard time? What did you expect? Maybe you should’ve thought about that before deciding to pursue all this. What else are you going to do then? Quit?

It’s mean and not very helpful, but he’s parroting his own internal monologue towards you. You’d have to knock a little sense into him. After a discussion about projecting his own self esteem issues onto someone else, he’d be a little nicer.

Your weeks turn into long dates at the library, sitting across from each other at the desks. He reads his favorites while you study and promises to tell you how they end, as long as you finish your work. Afterwards, he takes you to dinner at your favourite place.

haven't done my work but i did draw myself not doing my work. and the specter. not sure how this helps

bodies should have crash logs. why the fuck did that just happen.
