If video game antagonists were female

There is a reason why there are SO FEW MAIN FEMALE ANTAGONISTS in video games and anime. In DQ there's some minor villainesses like Krystalinda or Evil!Jessica, but no MAIN ones.

I think that It's because (generally speaking) women and men fight differently.

A man will strike you with a divine sword of might, but a woman will destroy you mentally and emotionally, and that's harder to convey visually. Mean Girls is NOT a movie, it's a documentary.

I think about what the ending of DQXI would be like if Calamos was a mean girl. It'd probably go like this:

Eleven: I will fulfill my destiny to defeat you and save Erdrea! The Goddess Yggdrasil has guided me to this point!

Calamos: Yeah, save your sword from piercing me and go and put it up Erik's ass already.

Eleven: ...What?

Calamos: Me and Yggie have been trying to get you two together for CENTURIES since we first saw the prophecy. Like everything we planned up until this point has been to get you and Erik together.

Eleven: I don't believe you--no(hand starts glowing)

Yggdrasil: Why are you TELLING them this out loud? Ugh, I AM SO NOT inviting you to Wednesday afternoon brunch if you don't get this over with and finally get them together. And you KNOW I make a great gluten-free quiche.

Calamos: Alright, my birch bitch. Is Dhoulmagus coming to our book club this week? Or is he still pissed at Ladja about that thirsty fancam he made of Lester Holt?

Yggidrasil: I don't know. Go text him after this.

Calamos: FINE! Anyway, Eleven, I'll stop destroying the world if you destroy Erik's virginity.

Erik: WHY ARE TELLING ALL OF MY FRIENDS THAT I'M A VIRGIN!?

Serena: H-Have you and Yggdrasil really been plotting together?

Calamos: So you're finally paying attention? If only you did that with your hair. Short hair does NOT fit your vibe, my girl.

Veronica: I refuse to believe your LIES! And HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY SISTER! I may be small, but I possess the might--

Calamos: Oh, and you. A cartoon character being turned into a little kid? How original. Oh, SPEAKING of original--Hendrick, do you know why Jasper loves Cats of all musicals? He's been playing it nonstop!

Hendrick: I have not the slightness clue as to what you are speaking of. He did always love cats, though...(sheds a single tear)

Calamos: Oh, and Sylvando. You are perfect in every way possible. Go slay, queen.

(awkward silence follows)

Calamos: Anyway, I've a manipedi appointment at 6, so...see you next week? Same time, same place?

So far the only reason I have had to crouch under anything is because I would mess up Erik's glorious spikes or Mia's very high ponytail if I didn't. If they slightly more chill hairstyles they could just duck their head a little. I genuinely cannot get over how tiny they have made Erik and Mia. One hell of a way to simulate the wonder and adventure of being a child in a world made for adults who just wants to find some treasure.

Why is your art fight pfp what it is

1.) It's one of my favorite Erik gifs.

2.) One of my favorite (and one of the funniest) DQ cutscenes.

3.) It's 10x funnier without context.

I drew Erik and Ryunosuke as the 'I think we're going to have to kill this guy, Steven' meme!

Erik asks permission to marry Eleven from the purple dad (Hendrick) since he's the closest thing to a father-figure that El has left since Chalky and Irwin died. The thief practiced for three weeks to get over his self-doubt.

Of course Hendrick approves and walks El down the aisle in a newly-restored Dundrasil castle.

Oh Erik came up on the whole "solve your problems by jumping from a great height" thing REALLY early on. My boy is barely two and half feet tall and decided to jump off the side of a Viking longship which because this dragon quest looked suspiciously like a typical galleon down into a little sail dinghy.

Hi just appearing to wave at that Erik that posted. Good to see other DQ kins around, Jasper (and another Erik) and Warwick from DQB2 here.

dragon quest treasures but with cute child luminerik

okay so hear me out

There is always those meeting as children aus out there. But what about a luminerik childhood crushes set in the dragon quest treasures universe? I just think it would be near, if a certain Luminary prince had stumbled there, hot mixed up in crazy shit and runs into kid Erik and Mia. Cue funny escape scene, and the trio loving the exploring and talking about home.

Oh yeah and the luminary never left his home, nobody died or was attacked, so it's cute him as a prince.

Anyway what yall think?
