Jasper, on the news: THE DARKSPAWN IS A SLUT!!!!! Sylvando: Well I already knew that. Erik: I thought we established that- Jade: OLD NEWS, JASPER!!! Hendrik: YOU SAY THAT LIKE YOU AREN'T A SLUT. The whole party: *Turns and stares at Hendrik.* Hendrik: Have you seen the way Jasper dresses? 🤨

[winxixia]

"Why does Jasper call you 'babygirl'?"

"How about we stop talking for a while"

DQXI Act 2 spoilers for Arboria ahead!! Finished a MAP part :’)  the frame sizes were really fun to work with on this one. The MAP is winter themed so I added snow etc to scenes that didn’t already have it which was kinda neat. complete MAP is here

Im deep into dq11's post game and i have feelings

I wish you could see Dundrasil rebuilt. You get to rebuild Cobblestone, in one timeline Carnelian (and Jade) and Rab both talk about rebuilding their cities...

In the other timeline, Heliodor was never destroyed !

I want to rebuild Dundrasil and then go rebuild Zwaardrust so that no one has their hometown left in ruins !

Let's rebuild Cobblestone ! Then let's go rebuild Dundrasil ! And let's build New Zwaardrust on top of the old one !

It is a travesty that Hendrik and Rab don’t keep their clown costumes. I’d have Hendrik as an angry clown all the time.

While I'm waxing poetic about all my fave DQXI details (for easy perusal, my ramblings are all in my 'meta' tag), there's one in particular I've always wanted to touch upon...

The parallels between the Luminary and Hendrik, and how deep Jasper's hatred of Hendrik truly goes.

Now, Hendrik's hometown was destroyed, and almost the entire populace (including his family) wiped out, that we all know. We also know Hendrik was present when Cobblestone was burnt to the ground - because if it weren't for Hendrik being able to talk Jasper round at the last minute, the rest of the townspeople would also have succumbed to much the same end.

Now, logically, Jasper would have had to compromise - and Hendrik would have had to agree in some capacity. And so, you have this moment where Hendrik, though he believes the Luminary to be the Darkspawn, does not want even the enemy of Erdrea to experience that which he did as a child: the loss of everything.

Because if he could go back - if he could pick one thing to save, it would have been the people of Zwaardsrust.

And Jasper, fully aware of Hendrik's past, is more than happy to play tactician. To move the chess pieces around for his perverse amusement, just because it means it takes Hendrik back there - back to that moment where he wasn't this vision of strength and prowess, but a weak, scared child.

Because if Hendrik feels small, then Jasper gets to feel big.

Early Act 2

[mercy-misrule]

Hate dq11's act 2 intro storyline for Jade. It's gross, it's not funny or charming, it's just gross anime lecher trope, and it didn't need to be

In none complaints but rather pondering, I wish there had been a way to not forgive Hendrik at first go. I think it would have been interesting for him to have to earn it, same as the king.

Not grovelling or anything but like, come on, these people made the Luminary's life hell. And you can argue that the king was possessed but Hendrik has no excuse. Unthinking, unquestioning loyalty to an evil authority is an act of evil. He just turned off critical thinking.

Obvs I don't really expect this from a dq game, but I'd still love it
