I adore your galaxy brain, and I also raise you this idea: Rab looks at Ogler's Digest magazines because he wants to be like the girls in the magazines. In one of the 2D quests, a bunch of old men are turned into bunny girls. If you talk to Rab at some point in the quest, he says "Hm, maybe I could become a bunny girl? Aye, that wouldnae be so bad—it might give me a new lease of life!"
Ever since then, I've just imagined that when Rab said he was reading the magazines for the articles, he was telling the truth because he wanted to learn how to become a bunny girl. I love that option so much more than the old "horny grandpa" trope.
somehow my one celibate hendrik text post is like the most popular thing I’ve ever contributed to the dragon quest community and every so often people still comment on it.
anyway I also have opinions on rab do you guys wanna hear them
HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT whats your favorite place to find drawing references?
DQXI Party Members and how likely it is that I would trust them to drive my car (if they knew what cars were)
Erik
Absolutely not. Jumping off cliffs is a character motif of his. I'm not even sure if I'd let him ride as a passenger princess.
I think if he were behind the wheel he'd be far too confident in himself AND the car. Would drive as if his deftness and agility stats transfer to the vehicle, like being attuned to a weapon. That is not the case.
Drives with the fervor of a soccer mom late for her three kids' practice. Would absolutely make an illegal U-turn.
Veronica
Officer that is a child.
Serena
Now I don't think that she'd be terrible but she'd be the opposite of Erik. I think she'd respect the car for the beast that it is, but I think she'd fear it.
Drives like grandmother who's just trying to get to the grocery store that's five minutes away from her house because she needs some eggs.
I couldn't put her on a highway, I couldn't do that to her.
Sylvando
The safest driver. I actually don’t think I can with my whole heart trust anyone else behind the wheel.
The passenger princess has no control over his playlist and it's exclusively Charlie XCX, Kim Petras, and Dua Lipa.
Drives like he passed his license exam on the first try. His parallel parking is awe inspiring. His merging is smother than his skin. The sheer aura that he emanates from behind that wheel ensures that no other drivers try anything stupid because they'd be embarrassed if he saw them do that.
Jade
You will not convince me that her road rage would be the most devastating out of anyone else in the party have you heard her in combat. "Try and dodge this-" no thank you <3
I don't think she drives recklessly, I think she's very safe and knows the rules of the road. Would not make an illegal U-turn or cut anyone off. However, when she drives, she is sending a message, and that message is "I've got places to be."
Drives like she placed an order for takeout/pick-up and just wants her goddamn food. She's had a long day, she'd like to eat before 10pm, and if her fries are soggy then someone will experience consequences.
Rab
I actually think he might be too short.
Honestly? Not an awful driver. Drives very defensively, a little on the slower side, pays absolutely no mind to bullshit that other people on the road try to pull.
Drives like a 16 year old on the way to the mall. Unbothered. In his lane. Really just enjoying the fact that he's going on a little ride.
Hendrik
Other than Sylvando, literally the only other party member I would actually allow to drive my car.
Is so scared of the car but you would never know.
Drives like a salaryman trying to get home after his 9-5, please just let me go because if I need to spend even ten more minutes trapped inside this metal box I will cry.
Jasper
I really don't know about this one bestie like I wanna say he's a good driver but I think that he's also far too overconfident in himself.
Honestly. Also drives like a mother, except she's trying to get her children to school and THEN rush off to her own job.
I do think he'd make an excellent passenger princess with questionable music taste. Does prefer taking the train.
"likes mean nothing on tumblr" you're sending me a little heart. that's not nothing it's your heart. look here's one for you <3
"This boss is so hard to beat, if only there was an easier way!"
I spent an insane amount of time working on this render, so I'm going to spam it so hard it's not even real
Ok, I'm glad you see more kindness in all pelicans than I do, but I refuse to believe that for even a second
I got to witness a truly pissed off pelican at a rehabilitation facility, it bit someone and drew blood on them three times. Three times!!!
when a pelican bites you there's no malice in their eyes. they aren't upset at you. they are just hungry and want to see if you fit in their mouths. and if you don't then it's no problem and everything is fine. and if you do then well i guess your fate is sealed but that's ok it's a beautiful animal
i'm late to this because my pen died, pissed >:(
