DQXI Characters’ and True Love

I cried while writing these <3

Erik

Erik is a man who wants. At first he thinks he wants the type of person that gives him the same high as a good heist. It’s not until later that he realises he’s looking for someone who leaves him feeling like there’s nothing left in the world to want.

Veronica

Veronica wants someone who will wait for her. She’s spent her whole life dragging her sister along behind her, and don’t get me wrong, she loves Serena. But maybe it’d be nice to have someone else take that lead for a change. Someone who will let her take her time.

Serena

Serena wants someone to love her in a way that makes her feel extraordinary. Maybe her storybooks are cliche, but can those happy endings be real? She’s a reincarnated legend. Can she be loved like that too?

Sylvando

Sylvando wants someone who smiles. A light of the world just like himself. Someone who’s really earned their smile lines, who knows how heavy it can be to carry the weight of unrelenting joy. Someone who will smile even in times that his own may falter.

Jade

I think Jade wants a love that feels like her next breath. The only thing she can feel certain will be there. Something that fills her lungs and keeps her heart beating. A love that she knows will always return to her. And she will fight to her last breath.

Rab

His late wife was his one true love. No one will ever hold a place in his heart that can compare. A love that made him feel like a man. A love that made him feel like a king. A love that burns like the sun, even if that sun has set.

Hendrik

Hendrik probably wants a love that feels like his bed. Soft and safe and secure in a way he’s almost forgotten. Always there for him at the end of the day. Intimate and quiet in a way that makes as much sense as the sky being blue.

Jasper

Jasper wants the type of love that he sneaks out at night for. A love that’s hidden away in the castle gardens and known only by the light of the moon. Something he keeps tucked safely against his chest so that no one else may take it from him.

DQXI Characters at a Pool Party

Erik

He’s there to have a Good Time. I don’t even think he packs a shirt or shoes. This man is rawdogging it with nothing but swim trunks and a towel. Not a fantastic swimmer by any means but he can survive the deep end of the pool yknow? Good luck pulling him out

His hair doesn’t lose any of its spikiness when it gets wet by the way

Veronica

Wears a pretty standard one piece swimsuit or tankini— it really just depends on what she’s able to find in her size

She’s not the most comfortable in the water but she certainly jumps in to try and have fun! Might spend more time chilling out on a floatie than actually swimming

Serena

She wears a cute little swim dress with a pretty polka dot pattern :) Spends most of her time wading or floating in the shallow end of the pool. Subtly tries to convince Veronica to play mermaids with her.

She actually really hates getting her hair wet so she’ll probably do it up in a bun.

Sylvando

He’s the host! His papi said he was allowed to have some friends over to their vacation home whenever he’d like to, so of course he sends out invites months in advance.

He’s so glamorous. Big floppy sun hat, chunky sunglasses, probably sandals with a wedge. Carrying around a mimosa at all times, whether he’s in the water or just walking around.

Jade

Probably one of the better swimmers, not because she’s properly trained but just because of her baseline strength. Tries to goad the girls into racing her or doing the best cannonball, ends up playing mermaids with them

Also loves lounging on a beachchair in the sun all day, being able to enjoy doing nothing without feeling bad about it

Rab

Wades in the shallow side like that one meme. Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In his lane. Focused. Flourishing.

No one put him in charge of grill duty but somehow he ended up there? He and Erik are like two dads standing in front of the grill with a bottle in their hands.

Hendrik

He’s got on swim trunks and one of those swim shirts because he likes keeping it modest. Not really one for swimming but he’ll sit at the edge of the pool and dip his feet in while chatting with the others

Until Jasper walks by and casually kicks him in

Jasper

Only there because Sylvando let everyone bring a plus one and Hendrik asked Jasper to join him. Spends a lot of time in the shade because he burns like paper in a fireplace.

After kicking Hendrik into the pool, they spend the rest of the day fighting with pool noodles. It escalates to the point where Sylvando threatens to call his father

My puter refused to upload, so I'm doing it from my phone

hai dhmisers im back do you think the main three are constantly sedated. do you think everything is bright and blurry to them. do you think lights flash in their faces and they dont know what they are and they talk all night but everything is hazy and they dont remember the conversation. do you think they have to fight the urge to stumble over because theyre dizzy and a bit confused but theyre so used to it that theyve gotten good at ignoring it. do you think duck had to ask red guy if he noticed the darkness because their surroundings are already so confusing and blurry that they have to confirm with each other what theyre seeing is what they think it is. do you think duck genuinely cant tell if its a bee or not. do you think yellow guy fell and broke the computer orb because he constantly feels drowsy and dizzy. do you think duck says the pain of his finger being cut or his organs being literally removed doesnt bother him at all because hes so out of it he doesnt register the pain. do you think red guy barely reacts to blood loss because it doesnt feel that different than normal. do you think lesley is also up there zooted out her damn mind and the words she says dont truly mean much because shes loopy as hell. all four of them tripping for eternity because they all have roles to fill and working minds dont make great puppets.

idk this is just how i assume the characters see the world. dizzy and blurry like waking up after a car crash. maybe a little ringing in the ears too. also the stage lights kind of blind them but when they look up its too bright and smudged to understand theres no ceiling. im not sure what or who would be doing this to them (im a firm believer lesley is one of them and not controlling them ive made this very clear through like seven different rants) but idk i just dont think theyd view things clearly i never really thought they would

ive always liked this idea more than the idea of them just seeing a regular house. i feel like thats not whats happening, i think they can see whats there but not fully comprehend or make out all of it. idk its 5am im tired as hell forgive me if im rusty on the dhmis lore and forgot some bullshit cuz knowing becky and joe they probably confirmed 13 years ago in a random lost media facebook post that the puppets see in ps2 graphics and im stupid and wrong rn

Opposites Attract

How to begin a sustainable way of life

This is a draft of something I've been writing for a couple months. It is mainly focused on the culture of the USA. Feel free to repost or otherwise share, with or without credit.

Do not tell people what to do—help them do it! 

Give the gift of relief from being forced to engage in society’s unsustainable ways of life. 

“People need to eat more plant-based foods.” ->Talk about your favorite recipes, give others recipes, cook for them, and grow vegetables and plants in your garden and give them away as gifts. 

“People need to repair their clothes.” -> Offer to repair others’ clothes, and teach people how to repair their clothes. 

“People need to buy less clothes.” -> Give them old clothes that you don’t want, help them repair their clothes

“People need to buy less plastic stuff.” -> Learn to make things that can serve the same purpose, such as baskets, and give them as gifts. Let people borrow things you own so they don’t have to buy their own. 

“People need to stop using leafblowers and other gas-guzzling machinery.” -> Offer to rake the leaves. You can use them as compost in your own garden. 

“People need to be more educated about nature.”-> Learn about nature yourself. Tell people about nature. Be open about your love of creatures such as snakes, spiders, and frogs. Do not show awareness that this could be strange. You are not obligated to quiet down your enthusiasm for creepy crawlies to demonstrate awareness that it is weird. Point out at every opportunity how these animals are beneficial. 

“People need to use cars less.” -> Offer rides to others whenever you must go somewhere. Whenever you are about to go to the store, ask your neighbor or your friend who lives along the way, “Is there anything you need from the store?” 

You cannot control others’ behaviors, but you can free them from being controlled. 

If you think to yourself, “But this would be so difficult to do!” ask yourself WHY? Why does your society coerce you into less sustainable ways of living, forcing you to consume excessively? After thinking about this, consider that it is less simple and easy than you thought to make more sustainable choices, so why would you judge others for not doing it? 

Do not act alone—act with others! 

Environmentally friendly behaviors that can be done alone, without collaborating with or consulting another person, are the least powerful of all. Whenever an “environmentally friendly” behavior is suggested, figure out “How can I give this as a gift?” or “How can I make this possible on the level of a whole community?” 

“Personal choices” do not work because every single person has to make them individually. If you are focused on making your own personal choice, you are not focused on others. If you are not focused on others, you are not helping them. If nobody is helping each other, most people won’t be able to make the “personal choice.”

You inherently share an ecosystem with your neighbors  

            Start with your neighbors, the people physically close to you. You live on the same patch of land, containing roots from the same plants and trees. You can speak to them face to face without traveling, which means you can easily bring them physical things without using resources to travel. 

            Always talk to your neighbors and be friendly with them. Offer them favors unprompted and tell them about how your garden is doing. Do not be afraid to be annoying—a slightly annoying neighbor who is helpful, kind, and can be relied upon for a variety of favors or in times of need is a necessary and inevitable part of a good community. If you make the effort to be present in somebody’s life, they will have to put up with you on some occasions, but that is just life. We cannot rely on each other if we do not put up with each other. 

Simply spending time with someone influences them for good 

Every hour you spend outside with your neighbor is an hour your neighbor doesn’t spend watching Fox News. Every hour you spend talking with someone and interacting with them in the real world, eating real food and enjoying your real surroundings, is an hour you don’t spend only hearing a curated picture of what reality is like from social media. 

            Isolation makes it easy for people to become indoctrinated into extremist beliefs. When someone spends more time alone, watching TV, Youtube, or scrolling social media, than they do with others, their concept of what other people are like and what the world is like comes more from social media than real life. TV and online media are meant to influence you in a specific way. Simply restricting the access these influences have to yourself and others is helpful. 

A garden is the source of many gifts 

If you grow a garden, you can give your neighbors and friends the gift of food, plants, and crafted objects. This is one of the foundational ways to form community. When you give food, you provide support to others. When you give plants, you are encouraging and teaching about gardening. It is even better when you give recipes cooked from things you grew, or items crafted from things you grew. You can also give the gift of knowledge of how to grow these plants, cook these recipes, or craft these objects. 

More on gift-giving

            Some people are uncomfortable with receiving items or services as gifts. They want to feel like they are giving something back, instead of having obligation to return the favor hanging over them. 

            It can help to ask a simple favor that can be easily fulfilled. People generally like the feeling of helping someone else. 

When you give someone a gift, it can help to say something like “Oh, I have too many of this thing to take care of/store/eat myself! Do you think you could take some?” This makes your neighbor feel like they are helping you. 

When allowing others to borrow items, you might not get them back. Don’t worry about that. It just means the item found a place where it was needed the most. You can ask about the item if you think it might have been forgotten, and this can create an opportunity for a second meeting. But don’t press. 

If the person you give to insists upon some form of payment, this is a good opportunity to negotiate a trade. 

Ask to be given compostable or recyclable things 

Ask your neighbor to save compostable scraps, biodegradable cardboard and paper products, and any other items that might be put to use. Use them in your own compost pile. Or, start a compost pile at the edge of the yard where you both can add to it. Remember that “wet” compost like vegetable and fruit bits needs to be mixed with twice as much of “dry” and “woody” compost like cardboard, leaves, small twigs, paper and wood bits. 

Use the front yard for gardening

Overcome the cultural norm that the front yard is only decorative. Use the front yard for gardening so you can be seen by others enjoying your garden, and others can witness the demonstration of the possibilities of land. In the front yard, anything you do intentionally with your land can be witnessed. It also makes you a visible presence in your community. 

Grow staple foods 

Don’t just grow vegetables that cannot be the core component of a meal themselves. Grow potatoes, dry beans, black eyed peas and other nourishing, calorie-dense foods. Grow the ingredients of meals. You could even build a garden around a recipe.

Invite neighbors and friends over to eat food made from things you grew 

Be sure to send them home with leftovers.  

Grow plants for baskets 

Containers are one of the fundamental human needs. If we had more containers, we wouldn’t need plastic so much. You can learn to make baskets, and to grow plants that provide the raw materials for baskets. 

If someone rakes their leaves, ask to have the leaves  

If you see someone putting leaves in bags, don’t be afraid to ask if you can have the leaves. More likely than not they will be happy to agree. 

Collaborate with neighbors to plant things in the no-man’s-land of the property line 

In the border land between your neighbor’s yard and your yard, it is almost always just mowed grass because no one can plant anything without it affecting their neighbor. But these border lands add up to a lot of space. It would be much better if you talked to your neighbor about what would be nice to plant there, and together created a plan for that space. 

Give others the freedom to wander 

Make it clear that you will not get mad if the neighbor’s kids play in your yard or run across it. Invite the neighbors onto your land as much as possible. Tell them they are allowed to spend time in a favored spot whenever they would like.  

The power of the hand-made sign 

If there is a yard sale, you always know about it because of the hand-drawn signs placed around. Therefore, a cookout or unwanted item exchange can be announced the same way. In rural areas I have seen hand-made signs that say: FIREWOOD or WE BUY GOATS or EGGS. This is one of the few technologies of community that remain in the USA. If someone who looks to buy and sell can put up a hand-made sign, why shouldn’t you?  

Religious people or people with strong political opinions like to put signs everywhere. If they have the confidence and courage to do so, why shouldn’t you? 

So if there is a message you would like everyone to see, use the simple power of the hand-made sign. Proclaim “BEE FRIENDLY ZONE!” above your pollinator garden with all the confidence of a religious fundamentalist billboard. Announce to the world, “VEGETABLES FREE TO ALL—JUST ASK!” “WE TAKE LEAVES—NO PESTICIDES.” Instead of YARD SALE, or perhaps in conjunction with YARD SALE, you can write, PLANT EXCHANGE or SEED SWAP or CLOTHING SWAP. Who can stop you? 

Someone has to do it for society to change  

Some of these ideas might be eccentric, strange, or even socially unacceptable, but there is no way to change what is normal except to move against it. Someone has to be weird. It might as well be you. 

It’s 1:27 AM and I just submitted my last final of the semester. Now it’s 1:29 because I thought too hard about whether or not I had anything else to say in this post.

Personas Vs OCs

This is not gospel, this is just my opinion and how I categorize my own creations! You can define these terms, use or not use them, however you want to! I’m just putting this here for my own reference mostly

A persona is explicitly for self insert purposes.

These characters do not have a role that alters the lore of the existing canon.

They can interact with characters, so long as it is done in an inconsequential way. If desired, the persona can have their own subplot to be resolved.

It’s absolutely possible to have a persona for your own original work.

Personas exist as different versions of the self. No need for lore, sometimes a different costume is enough to establish the self as a different sona

When the persona has a larger role that impacts the canon line of events, they cross into OC territory.

Persona Examples

The Farmer, from Stardew Valley

Animal Crossing Player Character

Character based on the self, but designed for the world. “Me if I were a stand user.”

Any character who is based on the self but does not change the end goal of a preexistent plot

OC Examples

A Stardew Valley OC would inherently change playable canon. If your SDV persona is dating Alex and Alex is no longer a viable Romance Route, then your persona is an OC

A yokai watch NPC who has a cool yokai and directly helps Nate do XYZ, explicitly influencing the plot’s course

A character that may or may not be based on the self that is more plot significant than not.

Plot significance doesn’t exist on an easily measurable scale so it’s a loose metric, deliberately

Mary sues don’t exist btw the point of an OC is to have fun and be self indulgent. Enjoy your blorbos and let them live and love as freely as you would do so yourself.

Fumi again..🐟🐟🐟

DQXI Characters’ Niche Talents

This was an ask from @valeriewarrior137 but I accidentally posted it without fully answering and then deleted it 😭

Erik

He can guesstimate most measurements just by eyeballing them. Height, weight, distance, circumference. When you’re a thief, you’ve gotta know if your loot can follow you through the escape route.

Veronica

She’s an excellent climber, even with her shorter stature. She can scale trees, ledges, and even hop fences like nobody’s business.

Serena

She’s got a knack for learning new languages very quickly, and it helps out with how much traveling the party does. Her musical talents give her the ear for it!

Sylvando

With a stage presence like his? How could there ever be a talent the Great Sylvando hasn’t— it’s hunting. His father taught him. He can hit a target with a crooked crossbow from further away than any man should be able to.

Jade

She can forge someone’s signature to the point where it’s indiscernible. She’s never used this talent, despite how much Erik tries to convince her to

Rab

He can finish a sewing job with a good amount of competency! He taught himself how to when his daughter’s teddy bear ripped, and he was always there to help Jade out if she needed something hemmed!

Hendrik

He really enjoys gardening. He doesn’t get many opportunities to do it, but he’s read several books about botany, foraging, etc. and would love to keep his own plants one day

Jasper

He’s a very good singer! And he’s horribly embarrassed about it, surprising no one. It’s nothing professional, but it helps lift his mood when he’s feeling down

i wish you guys could read the amazing fic i haven't written and probably will never write, it's fire

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

───⠀paper text pngs

all sourced from pinterest no need to credit me ,, f2u feel free to repost anywhere

my secret to art happiness is it's not about how many notes what you draw is likely to get. t's about how many times you're going to go back to it, to your own art, and think "this FUCKS actually and caters to me entirely, specifically, fully. i love this artist (me) (me who i drew this) (myself)"

DQXI’s Characters’ Favorite Chores

Erik

Growing up in the circumstances that he did, he’s not unfamiliar with hard and unappreciated labor. But his party members’ many thanks and looks of appreciation make him feel a lot better about helping out. The responsibility actually feels meaningful.

At campsites, he likes taking charge of the cooking, as well as washing up the dishes, pots, and cups they carry around with them.

Veronica and Serena

They both have very fond memories of grocery shopping with their parents. Making lists together, arguing about which fruits they want to get and what to have for dinner on Sunday night.

The grocery run would turn into a scavenger hunt game. Each girl would take one parent each and run around the Arborian markets trying to find the most items on their list.

Sylvando

Despite coming from a fairly affluent background, he’s actually got a lot of experience with chores. His dad raised him to be diligent and disciplined, not lazy, spoiled, and slobbish.

Really likes doing laundry. Keeping his clothes clean, wrinkle free, and smelling fresh is just another step in making sure he’s always ready to shine on stage!

Jade

She never grew up doing chores, but obviously that changed. Rab taught her a lot about how to take care of herself.

Her favorite thing to do is anything organizational. Putting things away in their proper place and making sure everything has a home.

Rab

Takes a lot of pride in his independence as an older man. Likes knowing that he can help himself just as much as he enjoys helping others.

Enjoys the meditative nature of sweeping and mopping floors.

Hendrik

He’s lived as a knight with plenty of domestic servants to assist him, but I think he actually likes maintaining some autonomy during the day to day. Tries his best to make his own bed in the morning and fold his own clothes, even if it’s a little messy.

His favorite chore by far is helping to take care of his beloved horse Obsidian.

Jasper

If you think this man has ever done any form of household labor in his life you’re crazy. That’s what his waitstaff are for.

If there’s anything he’d take upon himself, it’d be dusting his shelves. He wouldn’t want a clumsy servant knocking over any possessions that are important to him.

ennui

Rowlet but neopets

For the "top 5 anything" post; top five Jasper hcs!

Thank you for this ask! Here we go then!

He is insomniac. Because of that, he stays up late to work because he simply can't fall asleep. The years of stress don't help either.

2. Because he sleeps so little, he's not a morning person. He won't be fully awake if not for a warm bath and a sweet tea.

3. Because he works so late with for sole source of light candles, his eyes are very tired and he needs glasses. Not that he'll admit it any time soon.

4. He does a lot of work-out to compensate all the sugar he regurlay ingests. He's terrified to gain weigth and to look less appealing. However, his addiction to sugar makes it difficult to reduce his consumption. He usually reads or works on reports while training, as a way to save time.

5. He has an excellent memory that he trains as well. He also pays great attention to details, so he knows who he's talking to, even maids or soldiers/knights, and he knows details about them like birthday dates. He gets small gifts for the staff he appreciates, like a floral perfume for his appointed staff/maids.

HAPPY!!!!!! MOTHER'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much to all the moms and motherly figures out there, I hope you have a wonderful day today. I love my mom so much

DQXI Characters’ Favorite Musicals

Disclaimer: I’ve seen like, half of these.

Erik

Epic the Musical ; I don’t think Erik has ever read or even knows of that much ancient classic epic poetry but Epic is an insanely well executed and accessible adaptation that I think Erik would adore. This musical brings up questions of what it means to be a hero, where loyalties lie, the question of manmade will vs. fate, and closure. He cries at like six different parts.

West Side Story ; Doesn't want to admit how much he loves the romance so he pretends to project onto Tony.

Shrek the Musical ; I refuse to elaborate.

Veronica

Heathers ; Veronica loves fun and campy, and Heathers is exactly that. Yeah, there’s a really intense plot and social commentary about teen culture, bullying, and that ideal coming of age get twisted into a nightmare, but also she loves belting that one note in Candy Store.

Legally Blonde ; Thinks it’s a cool story about an underestimated girl diving into something way over her head for maybe the wrong reasons and coming out all the more right for it.

Mean Girls ; She just thinks it’s funny! Gets so heated if someone tries to compare Heathers with Mean Girls and call them the same thing. Likes to argue with Serena about whether Heather Chandler or Regina George would win in social warfare.

Serena

Peter and the Starcatcher ; Okay so this one is a play and not a musical but i think it has the perfect balance of childlike whimsy and narrative drama that she’d love. It’s just like her favorite storybooks from childhood!

Matilda ; Absolutely adores Matilda. Sometimes she feels a little guilty for resonating with the story, because it’s not that her family wasn’t loving or unappreciative of her talents. She just really likes Matilda.

Anastasia ; Oh...her poor heart...the themes of family, memories, romance...

Sylvando

Mamma Mia! ; Is anyone surprised? No? Didn’t think so. The drama, the Mediterranean beach vibes, Meryl Streep. Has all the musical numbers memorized by heart and can play most of them on his recorder.

Kinky Boots ; Listen, Sylvando is queer and we all know this. I think seeing Kinky Boots was part of what helped him explore his own identity growing up.

Come from Away ; I think this musical means a lot to him and even moreso after he comes to join the band of merry misfits that is the DQXI party.

Jade

Dear Evan Hansen ; Gets her right in the imposter syndrome. It reminds of her of how she's always longed for meaningful connection with others, but was never really able to achieve.

Beetlejuice the Musical ; It's silly and fun! Also the dead mom subplot also does a lot.

Six ; She can get a little bit of girlboss musical. As a treat. Really though, the story of a bunch of queens being independent and learning to rise above their reputations that've been dominated and tainted by men? Come on!! So perfect for Jade.

Rab

The Sound of Music ; He’s a classics enjoyer and what musical could ever be considered more classic than this one? Beautiful soundtrack, such a bittersweet story. It captures a lot of aspects of life that he finds himself reflecting on, like finding purpose, building a life with love and music, and defending that love even in the face of darkness.

The King and I ; Another classic and, in his eyes, a super fun exploration of the whole "royal romance" tropes.

Hadestown ; This is a newer retelling of an old story, but he eats it up. The adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice is just so unique, and the musical showmanship is something he can really appreciate

Hendrik

The type to say he loves theatre because that’s expected of someone of his status, but he falls asleep in the balcony seats every time. Jasper smacks him awake with the playbill. There’s only a few he’s actually stayed awake for—

The Lion King ; Wonderful theatrics that are so visually interesting that he stays awake past the opening number. It's the only court drama that he finds compelling. The duty and honor of it inspire him.

Waitress ; Saw it with Princess Jade when she was younger. It was just so different and exciting from the typical high society bores that he's used to seeing! And Jenna is just such a determined protagonist, he's rooting for her from the start.

Annie ; He cries.

Jasper

Phantom of the Opera ; He will fight within an inch of his life defending this musical as The Best Ever, The Musical That Defines Musical Theatre. Will absolutely sob during “All I Ask of You.” He thinks the phantom was just misunderstood.

Wicked ; Enjoys the musical entirely separately from the written work. This musical has brought Jasper to a point never experienced by anyone else in Erdrea but explicitly experienced by early 2000s fandoms. He's rotated the this musical in his head like a microwave and probably talks Hendrik's ear off about the lore, character dynamics, etc.

Cats ; Secretly his favourite musical literally ever. It's just so silly. It makes him laugh. Hendrik does not understand what he sees in this musical.

Which dqxi character like tea or coffee more? I personally think that the Luminary likes hot chocolate more lol

Big agree on Lumi being a hot chocolate enjoyer! I actually have a post about the DQXI characters’ Starbucks orders lol— but just tea or coffee in general? Lets see~

Erik

He wants to a black coffee person so bad, he thinks it’d make him look cool. Realistically, he can’t drink coffee without a bunch of creamer and sugar.

It does give him the jitters but only if he drinks a LOT.

Veronica

Coffee person for sure! But restaraunts never want to serve her coffee >:( she makes Serena order it for her

She likes Mexican hot chocolate too! Spicy and warm -w-

Serena

Totally a tea girlie. Loves settling down in the evenings with a nice warm cup of herbal tea in a big cozy mug with cute print on it.

Doesn’t mind coffee, just doesn’t prefer it. Has a surprisingly good tolerance for caffeine, though.

Sylvando

That man is from Mediterranean Europe, he drinks coffee more than he drinks water.

Doesn’t hate tea, but he’s very picky about it. Has to steep it perfectly. The tannic-ness can ruin it for him.

Jade

I think she’s pretty evenly split 50/50, but tea is just more common to her daily routine, especially because Rab always has some on hand.

I think if she had the opportunity to she’d maybe have a cup every morning to help wake her up.

Rab

Definitely prefers tea. Helps warm his heart and soothe his old bones.

Coffee is like a once in a while treat for him, especially if he’s having some pastries with it.

Hendrik

My partner headcanons that coffee plants are not native to Heliodor and I believe it. I think coffee gives Hendrik heartburn.

He drinks tea not because he prefers it but because he does not want his tummy to hurt.

Jasper

It’s canon that he loves lemon tea with too much sugar!

Has a better caffeine tolerance than Hendrik, but coffee can still make him nauseous if he drinks it too fast or has too much. Also drowns his coffee in sugar.

hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god
