On Tha Bike

Once I "made" a custom emoji for my mum by crudely drawing a hijab on it and now whenever she wants me to buy a coffee for her I get a text like this

Suddenly thinking again about the orb's powers the Sentinels used, and if those abilities were originally usable by the orb's original owners. Or perhaps, a reverse of those powers.

How DQXI Party Members would navigate TikTok

Erik

Started by posting silly videos for himself and his friends. Videos of him and Lumi doing viral dances, pranking Veronica, the occasional thirst trap fit check or cool knife trick

Accidentally got a decent amount of attention. Like, people get excited when they see him leaving comments on their videos.

Doesn’t post nearly as often as he did before he got famous. Posts way more often on a secret private account he made.

Veronica

TikTok almost banned her for not meeting their age requirement

She’s got a very small presence. Doesn’t post too much, maybe an occasional review of a book Serena recommended to her. Sometimes posts herself showing off new magic abilities.

Restricts most of her videos to “friends only” but that doesn’t stop Erik, Serena, and Sylv from dragging her onto their accounts.

Serena

Never actually meant to post any videos but then she saw a BookTok take that was so horrendous she couldn’t stop herself from making a 14 minute video stitching her response

One of the biggest influencers leading critical discussions about contemporary literature. Would like to post cooking videos, but she’s too shy/under-confident about her skills

Posts videos of herself playing the harp every now and then to try and share some positivity— and then goes right back to dragging Colleen Hoover’s name through wet dirt

Sylvando

His presence immediately drew the attention of all his adoring fans, and he eats it up. Always posting make up tutorials, GRWM, OOTD, cooking, dances, etc. If he misses one day of posting his followers think he’s dead.

A rare but treasured breed of Sylvando post is the two minute long video of him reminding his followers to never stop smiling, always protect their own light, and to never give up fighting against the darkness that plagues the world.

He also dedicates a lot of his content to promoting/collaborating with smaller accounts :) The spotlight is meant to be shared!

Jade

Rarely posts, but when she does it’s usually some variety of a “get ready with me” video. Accidentally became famous because she’s got a lethal face card.

Loves showing off her cutesy matching workout sets and her favorite post gym recipes. Collabs with Sylvando whenever they have homie gym dates :)

Very easily discomforted by the parasociality of social media and will randomly drop off the face of the earth for months at a time

Rab

Help him. He doesn’t even have his own TikTok account, the kids just drag him into their own

Recurring character in his children’s (the party’s) videos. “Seeing how many oranges I can stack on my grandfather’s head while he sleeps.” // “Grandpa’s first time playing deltarune” // “My grandpa’s favourite sandwich recipe”

Not always fully into it but it makes him feel young and hip, and he loves making his kids happy :)

Hendrik

He’s got one of those accounts with a blank profile picture and autogenerated username like hendrik0621593

Never posts anything. Follows his friends and likes their videos and minds his business. Occasionally asks Jasper what certain slang means because he’s so out of the loop.

Always ends up on strange niche sides of TikTok because the algorithm is so confused by him. Ended up following a few mushroom forager accounts.

Jasper

Only has an account so he can block Hendrik.

Has a hard time getting into social media because he’s just so disinterested in the affairs of random people. Whenever he sees something annoying online, he gets a little embarrassed that he even cared enough to get angry in the first place

Tries to avoid doomscrolling but the content he does consume is usually aesthetic oriented. Musicians and singers, vacation inspo, occasionally baking content.

Dragon Quest XI has been my latest obsession and I have so many thoughts about characters’ romantic dynamics but I haven’t finished the game and I don’t want spoilers OURGH—

Yeah you could say I’m doing numbers on tumblr. And that numbers? One

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)"

Opposites Attract

Most of the headcanons I have in my mind for the DQXI party are about food
