Bad brain demons trying to get the best of me. So more of the dragon boyfriends.

So I've been playing Dragon Quest 11 again... Clothes sauce:

[daezedglownut]

I really love how the game starts out with you saving Gemma, and you think “ok, they’re obviously pulling the ‘childhood friend to lovers card’ here” except you finally leave your hometown, meet a twink in prison, see the world, and if you CHOOSE to, you can “marry” him, and end up closing the game with you saving him in the same way IN THE SAME PLACE.

Only this time the scene has bedroom eyes.

Incredible.

Idk, I just love how the game lets you play the Luminary 100% straight if you want, OR as “the only gay in the village” who only really seemed to emote and smile when he was taking part in a pride parade, and got a less than traditional happy ending - and it’s played completely straight! (Pardon the pun…)

Don’t even get me started on Sylv’s Act 2 adventure, and how it subverts the “those evil gays are recruiting our innocent kids” trope, and instead tells this beautiful story of queer community and how, with the right support, all these closeted guys felt safe enough to Be Themselves and start their new life - despite their age (Tetsu 🥺💕)

And again, none of this is played off as a joke.

I truly love this game like no other.

Serena: Where is Erik? I’ve been searching for him but I can’t find him anywhere

11: Wait I’ve got this.

11: Can someone hold my hand?

Erik, appearing from nowhere: *gently holds 11’s hand* I’m here

I realized that I have a pattern of fangirling over the trope of adorkable dumbasses in love.

See me struggling with this blue hedgehog hair

Husbands/Boyfriends that have invaded my mind, to the point where I’ve actually been having good dreams as of late.

Cringe luminerik angst (I think about this often🫡)

[incorrect-dragonquest-quotes]

11: have you tried yelling?

Erik: I have no idea what you are referring to but of course I’ve tried yelling!
