Which Dqxi Character Like Tea Or Coffee More? I Personally Think That The Luminary Likes Hot Chocolate

exactly one other person in the world understands Jasper like I do and it’s OP

PRINCE FARIS COULD FIX JASPER

i wish you guys could read the amazing fic i haven't written and probably will never write, it's fire

Most of the headcanons I have in my mind for the DQXI party are about food

On that note

DQXI Characters’ Starbucks Orders!

Erik

I cannot tell a lie he’s giving me caramel ribbon Frappuccino vibes. Or just an iced latte with nothing fancy.

If he were going for a hot drink I think he’d go for a white chocolate mocha.

I don’t think he’d be a huge coffee snob, or even a fan of coffee for that matter. It’s just a beverage. He gets nauseous if he drinks too much.

Veronica

They will not serve her coffee because she is a child. She is very mad about this.

I could see her ordering a few things— Definitely a strawberry crème Frappuccino, maybe a kiwi starfruit refresher?

She does enjoy coffee, and she asks Serena to order it for her. For some reason I see a sweet cream cold brew in her hands.

She has like, the best caffeine tolerance in the party behind Sylvando.

Serena

Tea enjoyer! Iced passion green tea lemonade girlie and you will not convince me otherwise. Very surprised that she enjoys tea iced and not hot.

Doesn’t hate coffee, quite likes it actually! But it makes her feel jittery if she drinks it too fast or on an empty stomach.

I could see her enjoying a mocha cookie crumble Frappuccino if she’s feeling daring.

Sylvando

He IS the pink drink and the pink drink is he. No one else in this world deserves it except for he himself. Gonna project a little and say he likes the blackberry sage refresher, too (because that’s my fav!)

Coffee does not affect him even a little bit. Could drink it like water. I think he’d have STRONG opinions about the sweet cream cold brew. I don’t know if these opinions are positive.

Would probably enjoy the most menu items out of the entire party. Macchiato, Frappuccino, lattes, Americano, I don’t think he’d really /hate/ any of it.

Jade

Not very much a coffee person at all, but damn. She was born for the iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso. It just feels right in my heart.

A pretty classic cappuccino would also satisfy her. If she’s feeling something sweet, I actually think she’d go for a hot chocolate.

Definitely a “coffee helps me wake up” type of person. Doesn’t need it to function, but it certainly helps.

Rab

I think he’s also a refresher enjoyer, specifically the blackberry sage. Also enjoys a good tea.

He’s definitely the most overwhelmed by the massive menus. Jade ends up ordering for him. Gets him a cinnamon latte. Later he goes back to the counter and orders an espresso macchiato.

Hendrik

Coffee gives him heartburn. He orders chocolate mocha. He drinks half of it and then has to stop.

My partner came up with this headcanon that coffee plants aren’t native to Heliodor. Like, there’s coffee in Gallopolis, Gondolia, Arboria, Phnom Non, almost everywhere except Heliodor. I’m considering this canon.

Jasper

Coffee also doesn’t always sit right with Jasper, he’s got a sensitive stomach imo. But he’s much a bigger coffee enjoyer than Hendrik.

Would rather kill himself than admit that he loves Frappuccino’s. He’s got such a sweet tooth and I’ll die on this hill.

Thinking about the cliche “what if [X] characters got transported into our world” and how that could relate to DQXI but like, I feel like something a lot of people fail to consider with this AU is that [X] characters’ currency may be functionally useless. Like if we’re taking the Luminary and Sylvando on a Starbucks side quest, that bedazzled pink tumbler is going on my credit card.

“Oh but they have gold pieces” and you think I’m letting those outside of my house?? In this economy?? Nah mf leave your important items purse on the kitchen counter.

Furthermore. Introducing them to cars. We are NOT walking to target. No horses. 2015 Subaru. Let’s hop on the LIRR. Leave the swords in the trunk or we are going to be forcefully removed from the Barnes and Noble.

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

I just saw the story of the ghastling and I'm pretty sad and happy about it, just remembered that cat painting so yeah...

I wanna make a tier list of yokai you could pick up and throw into a wall

Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
