DQXI Characters’ Favorite Musicals
DQXI Characters’ Favorite Musicals
Disclaimer: I’ve seen like, half of these.
Erik
Epic the Musical ; I don’t think Erik has ever read or even knows of that much ancient classic epic poetry but Epic is an insanely well executed and accessible adaptation that I think Erik would adore. This musical brings up questions of what it means to be a hero, where loyalties lie, the question of manmade will vs. fate, and closure. He cries at like six different parts.
West Side Story ; Doesn't want to admit how much he loves the romance so he pretends to project onto Tony.
Shrek the Musical ; I refuse to elaborate.
Veronica
Heathers ; Veronica loves fun and campy, and Heathers is exactly that. Yeah, there’s a really intense plot and social commentary about teen culture, bullying, and that ideal coming of age get twisted into a nightmare, but also she loves belting that one note in Candy Store.
Legally Blonde ; Thinks it’s a cool story about an underestimated girl diving into something way over her head for maybe the wrong reasons and coming out all the more right for it.
Mean Girls ; She just thinks it’s funny! Gets so heated if someone tries to compare Heathers with Mean Girls and call them the same thing. Likes to argue with Serena about whether Heather Chandler or Regina George would win in social warfare.
Serena
Peter and the Starcatcher ; Okay so this one is a play and not a musical but i think it has the perfect balance of childlike whimsy and narrative drama that she’d love. It’s just like her favorite storybooks from childhood!
Matilda ; Absolutely adores Matilda. Sometimes she feels a little guilty for resonating with the story, because it’s not that her family wasn’t loving or unappreciative of her talents. She just really likes Matilda.
Anastasia ; Oh...her poor heart...the themes of family, memories, romance...
Sylvando
Mamma Mia! ; Is anyone surprised? No? Didn’t think so. The drama, the Mediterranean beach vibes, Meryl Streep. Has all the musical numbers memorized by heart and can play most of them on his recorder.
Kinky Boots ; Listen, Sylvando is queer and we all know this. I think seeing Kinky Boots was part of what helped him explore his own identity growing up.
Come from Away ; I think this musical means a lot to him and even moreso after he comes to join the band of merry misfits that is the DQXI party.
Jade
Dear Evan Hansen ; Gets her right in the imposter syndrome. It reminds of her of how she's always longed for meaningful connection with others, but was never really able to achieve.
Beetlejuice the Musical ; It's silly and fun! Also the dead mom subplot also does a lot.
Six ; She can get a little bit of girlboss musical. As a treat. Really though, the story of a bunch of queens being independent and learning to rise above their reputations that've been dominated and tainted by men? Come on!! So perfect for Jade.
Rab
The Sound of Music ; He’s a classics enjoyer and what musical could ever be considered more classic than this one? Beautiful soundtrack, such a bittersweet story. It captures a lot of aspects of life that he finds himself reflecting on, like finding purpose, building a life with love and music, and defending that love even in the face of darkness.
The King and I ; Another classic and, in his eyes, a super fun exploration of the whole "royal romance" tropes.
Hadestown ; This is a newer retelling of an old story, but he eats it up. The adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice is just so unique, and the musical showmanship is something he can really appreciate
Hendrik
The type to say he loves theatre because that’s expected of someone of his status, but he falls asleep in the balcony seats every time. Jasper smacks him awake with the playbill. There’s only a few he’s actually stayed awake for—
The Lion King ; Wonderful theatrics that are so visually interesting that he stays awake past the opening number. It's the only court drama that he finds compelling. The duty and honor of it inspire him.
Waitress ; Saw it with Princess Jade when she was younger. It was just so different and exciting from the typical high society bores that he's used to seeing! And Jenna is just such a determined protagonist, he's rooting for her from the start.
Annie ; He cries.
Jasper
Phantom of the Opera ; He will fight within an inch of his life defending this musical as The Best Ever, The Musical That Defines Musical Theatre. Will absolutely sob during “All I Ask of You.” He thinks the phantom was just misunderstood.
Wicked ; Enjoys the musical entirely separately from the written work. This musical has brought Jasper to a point never experienced by anyone else in Erdrea but explicitly experienced by early 2000s fandoms. He's rotated the this musical in his head like a microwave and probably talks Hendrik's ear off about the lore, character dynamics, etc.
Cats ; Secretly his favourite musical literally ever. It's just so silly. It makes him laugh. Hendrik does not understand what he sees in this musical.

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science
Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
Making my younger self very happy by still being into kaimei in 2025, things never change!!!
the first pic is referenced from Hidari's Vocaloconnections album cover, bottom two are from their Miku Symphony designs by Rella!!

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.
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.
exactly one other person in the world understands Jasper like I do and it’s OP
PRINCE FARIS COULD FIX JASPER
