Even people on Reddit liked this one and they usually don't like anything

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

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

sketchdump time!! dq11 edition :] four years later and this game is still really good 👍

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.

11: Let me get this straight? More like let me run something BI you.

Serena: Let’s PAN this out.

Hendrik: Let’s ACE-ess this situation

Erik: I’m gay.

[elikha]

Cringe luminerik angst (I think about this often🫡)

“And you never knew

How much I really liked you

‘Cause I never even told you

Oh, but I meant to”

How I feel about the Erik marriage route in the DQXI postgame...

Me: *Ships Luminerik so hard*

Also me: As someone on the aromantic/asexual spectrum, I appreciate the strong platonic bond between these characters being treated as seriously as any romantic bond.

[doodlesdreaming]

A song gets stuck in the Luminary’s head. So he goes above deck to clear his mind.

Erik goes to check on him and becomes the unsuspecting audience.

been thinking about them,,,

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