Apricoteaa - ApricoTea

ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem

With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see

do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive

(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)

Thinking about the cliche “what if [X] characters got transported into our world” and how that could relate to DQXI but like, I feel like something a lot of people fail to consider with this AU is that [X] characters’ currency may be functionally useless. Like if we’re taking the Luminary and Sylvando on a Starbucks side quest, that bedazzled pink tumbler is going on my credit card.

“Oh but they have gold pieces” and you think I’m letting those outside of my house?? In this economy?? Nah mf leave your important items purse on the kitchen counter.

Furthermore. Introducing them to cars. We are NOT walking to target. No horses. 2015 Subaru. Let’s hop on the LIRR. Leave the swords in the trunk or we are going to be forcefully removed from the Barnes and Noble.

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

DQXI Characters and Calling vs Texting

Erik

Bad at both. Has hundreds of unread messages and missed calls he never actually plans to get back to

The only person he’ll answer semi-regularly (like once a week) is Lumi, and they barely even text because they’re always right next to each other

Veronica

Prefers texting, uses lots of fun punctuation and emojis like (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾

Low-key a meme queen. Finds the most obscure reaction images.

Doesn’t mind phone calls, absolutely does mind when they take longer than 15 minutes.

Serena

Loves calling to check up on you and very much keeps you on the phone for longer than 1 hour

Texts you as if she’s writing a letter to her lover overseas. Perfect grammar, very long winded, occasionally writes “from Serena” at the end

Sylvando

Calls AND texts like a 90s girl kicking her feet in bed, painting her nails, hair up in curlers, modelling on a motorola razr advertisement

Jade

Texts, but like, not very expressively. Uses an emoji every now and then. Her manner of speaking does not translate into written word at all. It always sounds like she’s mad at you.

Rab

Texts like your grandfather does next question

Hendrik

Prefers calling. Writes his text messages like he’s writing an email.

“Good morning, Luminary. I am reaching out to inquire if we will still be visiting the library with our companions this afternoon. Sincerely, Hendrik.”

Jasper

Texts like your mother does. The way he phrases things gives you anxiety. Incredibly offended if you do not respond immediately. Uses ellipses (“…”) excessively.
