Dragon Quest 11

Was fighting a Pandora’s Box and it insta deathed everyone but Erik in one go. He managed to kill it by himself by the skin of his teeth and you know what his win quote was?

‘Heh, easy.’

What if we kissed after we escaped from jail, jumped off a cliff to escape the guards, and we travel the world together as fugitives?

Just kidding, hahaha! ...Unless? 😳

I drew Erik and Ryunosuke as the 'I think we're going to have to kill this guy, Steven' meme!

Spoilers for Dragon Quest XI, Act II

Hendriks's reaction to Veronica's death is something that I find to be really interesting. Sure, sure, I could talk about the Erik-Mia parallel but let's focus on Hendrik for a moment.

He spends all of the game up until Act II tracking down the main four (MC, Erik, Serena, Veronica.) And has his men frequently report back to him. What I find to be interesting is how Hendriks's men depicted Serena and Veronica has "demons in human form" and allowed Hendrik in blinded loyalty to view these two young women to be monsters, not y'know, healers and mages.

AND VERONICA, AS FAR AS THESE GUARDS KNOW, IS A CHILD. AS FAR AS HENDRIK EVER KNOWS, VERONICA IS A CH I L D.

If I had to guess, Serena/Veronica would be about 18-19 years old, Veronica with her curse, looks like she's pre-teens (10-13.) As far as I know, Hendrik has never actually been clarified that the sisters were actually twins, and he could p o t e n t i a l l y believe that Veronica is instead a little sister. When he first meets Veronica, it's with the Jasper/Mordegon reveal and Veronica's sacrifice.

Hendrik openly blames himself for her death, as far as Hendrik is concerned: HE'S murdered this child because HE was too blinded by love loyalty to Jasper and the Kingdom. When it's revealed that Veronica is dead, the party grieve in their own ways but all openly accept it. Hendrik however blames himself the most, he believes he's torn this family apart because he was too blind to see he was being manipulated, and as a result, a CHILD had to sacrifice herself to make up for his crucial mistake. I just know this man couldn't bring himself to speak to anybody at her memorial service, and later privately paid tribute. He can't look at Serena without feeling guilty, he can't find it in himself to be around children.

Idk, I think that fact that he was "I could have stopped this, this is all my fault!!!" is interesting and shows how he probably mourned Jade, Jasper ("I could have saved them, I could have prevented this.") and Sylvando ("I could have stopped him running away.")

It's also interesting that Serena isn't the one who blames herself, but I think that adds to her character as well.

The only scene to get me really choked up is when you find Erik scrounging for scraps when he has memory loss. He's so scared 😢
