ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem
With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see
do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive
(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)
Dqxi had the right idea. If you're gonna make a character in your story have their natural hair color being some kind of bright unnatural color, it should be the huge fighter man that's inarguably masc. Dqxi could've given the long, pretty lavender hair to any of the other main party members. They could've given it to Serena. Or Jade. But they didn't. They gave it to Hendrik. Absolutely unparalleled move.

Redrew a couple of card illustrations of Eleven from DQ Rivals
I'm trying to get back into the drawing for fun mindset
Nice things the DQXI Party would say (or think) about Veronica ❤️
Erik
She’s such a pain! But he respects her for sure.
He sees her self assuredness and intuition as her most valuable skills. Being able to make quick decisions without flinching of looking back is very important to him.
Serena
That’s her dear sister, her role model and guiding flame for most of her life. Always admired her independence and dedication.
Loves her with all her heart. They’re so much more more than two halves of a whole.
Sylvando
Cutie patootie that packs a punch! She can take things so seriously but she’s got a lightness and sense of humor to her that he adores
I think he thinks of Veronica and Serena like his own little sisters that he never had.
Jade
I think she both relates to Veronica and sees her as someone to look up to.
Veronica is unstoppable. Her dedication to her cause, her sister, and the sheer force of her power despite being half her size? It gives Jade a lot to think about.
Rab
Always jokes that it took him 70 years to learn about half the magic that Veronica knows.
Out of all the girls on the team, Veronica reminds him most of his daughter.
(Spoilers for Act 2 below)
Hendrik
Tenacious is the word he’d use to describe her. In a complimentary way, I promise.
In his eyes, she manifests a lot of values in the knight’s oath. Unyielding bravery, fearlessness, and putting it all on the line without a second thought.
look all I'm saying is Jasper could've fixed things between him and Hendrik in a more healthy way rather than turning into a monster and dooming all of Erdrea. yknow something like having a heart-to-heart in a Chili's
people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.
shoutout to my favorite fictional characters, favorite people, favorite ships, favorite movies, favorite tv shows, fanfics and archive of our own
Nice things the DQXI Party would say (or think) about Erik 🩵
Veronica
Not much that she’d actually tell him about.
Veronica def respects his go-getter attitude. I feel like she’s also secretly super impressed by his niche market knowledge
Serena
Deeply respects Erik’s willingness to go to the ends of the earth for people he cares about. Heart of gold!
Thinks he’s rather cute too
Sylvando
Adores Erik’s dance moves! So suave and stylish!
Not the worst campsite cook either!
Jade
Eternally grateful for everything Erik’s done to protect the Luminary up until the point she found him again
For someone whose combat is informally trained and recreational at best? His skills are crazy impressive
Rab
Such a spry young lad! He wishes he had such a spirit when he was a young man!
It’s very cool to him that Erik has practical magic like Peek. And his Earth magic that just exists for some reason.
(Spolers for Act 2 Below)
Hendrik
Man was he annoying when Hendrik wasn’t fighting on the same side as him.
I think on a meta-level, Erik kind of helps Hendrik internally recontextualise what it means to be a good person
some jasper alternate hairstyles... YES HE'S MY FAVOURITE...
I don't talk about it much but I love rom hacks and game emulators. if you're looking for a free hobby that is really fun I highly recommend checking it out. convincing your computer that it's a nintendo wii is also very funny
exactly one other person in the world understands Jasper like I do and it’s OP
PRINCE FARIS COULD FIX JASPER
dislike and discomfort are normal and healthy parts of the human experience actually
A blonde man with bangs that cover half his face to the point that one eye is obscured. He often wears white and gold, but at one point had a dramatic reveal for his second outfit. He is well-read, and has traveled all over the world, with some of his world travels being specifically to stalk the player. His affinity for monsters combined with someone hurting him in the past (possibly creating an inferiority complex) led him to side with a fearsome monster capable of destroying the world, all so he can pursue power. And he also attempted to kill the chosen one/the player in the process.
Am I talking about Jasper from Dragon Quest XI, or Volo from Pokémon Legends: Arceus?
why is no one talking about the REAL discourse happening in the Seaking fandom??
