Has uh..... has anyone done this yet?
SFW Teasers of a commission for @apprenticemira of their apprentice, Mira and my apprentice, Canis. Always a pleasure getting commissioned to draw my own characters with someone else’s. 😍 thanks for the commission!

Finally, the courage and self-motivation I wanted came to me. I want to be a parr of this fandom and what better way than to introduce my apprentice to you all!
Mira uses they/them, but will use she/her pronouns in binary languages.

Valanis Week - BFFL…ATS (Best Friends For Life…And Then Some)
More Valentin & Canis backstory as part of @canistheapprentice and my @gentapprentices celebration!
Asra left Vesuvia, while Canis stayed behind as Julian’s nurse, and Valentin took a job keeping records and transcribing doctors’ notes. Supplementing his care with magical healing, they both caught the Plague from Lucio; they died together, in the Lazaret; and somehow, they stayed together after that.
Words: 3144 Warnings for blood, gore, death, illness/Plague imagery, cremation/immolation, the Devil
“Valentin?”
The echoing screams and roaring flames made the chipped, red-stained walls of the Lazaret quake. Huddled on a dirty cot under a scratchy blanket, Canis could no longer tell if the salty, stinging drops running down his face were tears or blood, pooling between his face and the hot, soaked wool of Valentin’s coat, crumpled on his chest in Canis’ weak attempts to keep him warm. Lying almost on top of him in a heap of uncooperative limbs, Canis squeezed his hand, limp, clammy fingers tangled together. “Valentin?” He couldn’t feel a heartbeat under the ear pressed to his chest, but he couldn’t hear hardly anything over the pounding of blood in his ears, and he was shaking too hard to feel the rise and fall of breathing.
After a long, suffocating moment, Valentin squeezed his hand, deep bronze fingers wet with blood. Canis’ nail beds were bleeding, their clasped hands dripping it all over the chipped-tile floor. He took a shuddering breath, the expansion of his ribcage like a dozen hot knives. “You—” His back spasmed with a hard, hacking fit of coughing, spraying fresh blood over the congealing spatter on the wall. Gasping for air, Canis spat out the blood and bile rising in his throat three times before he could speak again. “Y-you have to be faster with that,” he sobbed, pressing against Valentin’s body. “You c—You can’t scare me like that.”

Main 6 + Things My Director Said As I Learned Historical Combat
Asra
“The best method is the Run Away Method”
“If you get into a dagger fight, you’re fucked. Just run. Don’t let them get you.”
“I know my ankle is hurt, but I still want you to kick me as hard as you can.”
Julian
“It doesn’t matter how little you are; if you know the human body, you can throw anybody to the ground.”
*grabs wrist* “How would you break my hold?” “Swing my knife around wildly to cut your wrist.” “I’m so proud of you.”
“Don’t try fencing with pikes. It’s possible but not recommended.” He says, while fencing with pikes.
Nadia
“Straighten your posture. You’ll never be able to throw a man twice your size to the ground if you can’t stand up straight.”
“Sock could beat Sword if the right person was fighting with it.”
“Fighting isn’t nice. It’s for dicks. To walk away, be a dick who wants to live.”
Muriel
After asking about Rules of Engagement, “They’re bullshit. ‘Kill them’ or ‘escape’ are the only options. Actually, option one is ‘don’t get in a fight.’”
“People will stab you in church sometimes.”
“I’m going to put my hands on your shoulders, and I want you to karate chop at my neck like you’re trying to cut a steak.”
Portia
“If I grab your from behind, where do you hit me?” “Can I drop into a squat and head-butt you?” “Are you thighs strong enough for that???”
“If I can turn your armor into a cheese grater, I win.”
The only real way to fight is in a leather singlet, all greased up, against a bear, for money.”
Lucio
“The only real rules of combat are don’t die.” proceeds to throw you to the floor.
“Safety Third.”

I. AM. SICK OF IT.
I have seen my fair share of unspeakable, ridiculous, self righteous nonsense in my time in this fandom. I have done my fair share of receiving said unspeakable, ridiculous, self righteous nonsense, but I have absolutely had it.
Over the last couple days I have heard of some unspeakable acts people have committed against their fellow fandom members in a shallow, gutless attempt to cut others down to boost themselves up. Creators using their platforms to send people after other creators they don’t agree with. People sending anonymous asks that would be brought up on criminal charges if they happened anywhere else but this godless website. Creators bullying, harassing, and otherwise destroying the lives of people they don’t even know in an attempt to play the victim for a few shabby sympathy messages and a handful of likes and reblogs.
I want you all to know, whether you’re guiltless or otherwise: I will NOT tolerate your hatred and immaturity and lack of humanity and compassion. The Arcana Game is a game created for ALL consumers. Reguardless of race, gender, sexuality, identity, personality, background— This game is for EVERYONE. And so is it’s fandom.
This fandom is not exclusive to people who can emulate the arcana art style. This fandom is not exclusive to people with a certain number of followers. This fandom is not exclusive to people with cis apprentices. This fandom is not exclusive to women. This fandom is not exclusive to white people.
YOUR HATRED OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM YOU, PEOPLE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY FROM YOU, AND PEOPLE WHO CREATE DIFFERENT THINGS FROM YOU DOES NOT BELONG IN THIS FANDOM. AND UNTIL I CHOOSE TO LEAVE THIS FANDOM ONCE AND FOR ALL, I WILL SEE YOUR TOXIC, SELFISH, EGOTISTICAL WITCH HUNTING DIRECTLY OUT OF THIS SAFE PLACE.
You know who you are if you’ve already done this, and this is the warning shot across the bow of anyone who has considered trying to hurt someone else for any reason.
Apprentice Positivity
Important!
This may not be a funny meme, an art work or fanfic, but I think it’s just as important. It might be a long post, I’ll appreciate if you take the time to read this and spread the word. This post is about artists in The Arcana Fandom, their apprentice OCs and being supportive towards each other.
Yesterday I received anon hate for my MC’s look. The anon said my MC is “ A big titted bimbo looking dumbass whore “. ( You can check out the post. ) From what I get this person implies that any MC / OC with a big bust size is automatically unintelligent , slutty and lacks personality. Apparently any OC that is confident, shows skin, is comfortable in their body, or expressing their sexuality is bad. Which means any OC that is covered up, has little to no bust is automatically well written and smart. You’d think anon hate and slutshaming died out by now, but it’s still present to these days.
The person clearly knew nothing about my MC’s backstory, personality or motives and made some assumptions based solely on her apperance. If you ever received hate on your MC, I’m here with you.
The Arcana MC is a fun character because they are costumizable. The MC doesn’t have a certain design like in most dating games. As the player of the game, the apprentice’s look is completely up to your imagination. That includes: their looks, personality, gender, sexuality, and many more details.
Your MC is comfortable with their sexuality or rather keeps intimate details to themselves? or they are not comfortable being sexual? Your MC is valid.
Your MC is experienced sexually or lacks experience? Your MC is valid.
Your MC has a big or small bust? or wears binders? Your MC is valid.
Your MC wears revealing clothing or prefers to be completely covered? Your MC is valid.
Your MC has freckles, tattooes, piercings, markings, beauty marks, scars, stretch marks? Your MC is valid.
Your MC loves to wear colorful/patterned clothes or is more comfortable wearing outfits with little to no color/pattern ? Your MC is valid.
Your MC is short or tall? Your MC is valid.
Your MC has disabilities? Your MC is valid.
Your MC is slim, curvy, plus sized, muscular etc. ? Your MC is valid.
You draw your MC in a realistic/heavily stylized way ? Your MC is valid.
You are a professional or a beginner artist/writer? Your MC is valid.
You MC is an OC or a self insert? Your MC is valid.
MCs of every skin color, sexuality, gender ? Your MC is valid.
All MCs were made with love,time and effort. The creators behind them had fun designing them, and making their ideas come to life with drawing or writing. By degrading and comparing them, you clearly don’t give a damn about all the thoughts the creator put into them. The superior or inferior MC design doesn’t exist. Some people even have a personal connection to their MC, so you may be insulting the very person behind the character.
This game was made to be enjoyed, to have fun with as you play it and to bond with others who love it. If you are only in this fandom to spread toxicity, or to tell someone that their MC is less than someone else’s, you clearly shouldn’t be here. For many people it means a lot that the MC could look and act however they want. It helps them develop a stronger connection to them. There is no right or wrong way to create an MC. Let people enjoy the game and spread positivity.
If anyone feels like adding any positive thoughts to this post, feel free to do so! I’d love to see your thoughts! Thank you for taking the time to read this. #your mc is valid

Quote Engagement [The Arcana Pre-Canon]
In honor of Nadia’s birthday, something I’ve been wanting to write for a good long time - we know all about the drunk proposal, but what about the morning after?
Pairing: Nadia/Lucio (implied) Words: 1882 Warnings for alcohol mentions
The Count was hung-fucking-over. Head pounding, stomach turning, room-spinning hungover. He did his makeup lying on the bathroom floor, threw up in the sink, and had to take a minute of deep breathing before he left his room just so he’d have the energy to scream at anyone unlucky enough to run into him between his wing and the baths.
It was early enough that passed-out party guests still littered the hallways, servants waiting in the wings to tiptoe out and clean a patch of room every time one rolled over. They quickly ducked out of sight when he passed, only one third-shifter brave enough to look up and sign “Good morning, Your Excellency,” with a polite smile. Even so, the Palace all over was still, sleepy, silent, except for whoever the fuck was playing the piano in the salon.
When playing the game for the first time, what was your reaction upon finding out the apprentice has died and came back from the dead?
I have one (1) complaint about Lucio’s Tower and that is
take his arm off you cowards
In Lucio’s Wing
MC, vibing: heey
Lucio’s ghost: heey
MC: whAT-
That Lucio headcanon about the piercings got me thinking... What are your headcanons for the main 6 and body modifications?
💎Main 6 + Body Modifications
Asra
Has a million and one tattoos designed, and knows where he wants them all to go - he just can’t decide which to get first
He likes drawing and painting on himself, though, and natural pigments like henna and jagua to “practice” future tattoos
His lobes and cartilage are pierced, and his ear jewelry never matches - earrings are also one of his favorite things to give and receive as gifts
He had a tongue stud as a teenager, but had to take it out because he just couldn’t get used to it. Only Muriel remembers the Lisp Era
Might get a genital piercing - he’s definitely thought about it, but he’s hesitant to go for it until he meets more people who’ve gotten and endorse them
Julian
Has been pierced before, but he always takes them out; he always fiddles with piercings too much for them to heal properly
As much as it appeals to him as a masochist, it’s probably better he doesn’t get in the habit of flipping that switch himself
Tattoos, though? Just try and stop him. It’s practically a mandatory bonding activity for sailors to pick up tattoos, and obviously, he’s good at keeping them clean
He’s got nautical coordinates, Nevivon folk art, a traditional Prakran sigil for safety at sea, and so, so much sailor ink
Happy to explain the symbolism of any of them, although some he’ll have to describe to you, instead of showing them off in polite company
Nadia
One tattoo, a pretty design of feathers and flowers in pale pink ink like Chandra’s feathers on her shoulder blade. She was insanely nervous beforehand, surprisingly stoic during, and never caught the itch afterward
She can certainly understand the appeal, and she does like showing it off, but since then, she hasn’t felt an impetus for another
Her lobes and cartilage are all single-pierced, and she likes to coordinate her jewelry to her outfit - rainbow pearls are her favorites
She also has her septum done, but only wears a ring in it for special occasions; otherwise, she just keeps a small, very subtle bar in to keep it open
When she does put in septum jewelry, though, it takes all her focus not to fidget with it, and complimenting it makes her blush like no other
Muriel
None at all. Au naturale.
He gets why other people like body modification, but he just doesn’t have the same experience of it - it doesn’t give him a sense of control, and he doesn’t see the point in ornamentation
Piercings are a hard no - the possibility they might not even take and leave him with yet another scar (with a much stupider story than the other ones) is a huge deterrent, and the fact that they get caught on things
The closest he might get would be a tattoo of Kokhuri design, something small and subtle that reminds him of where he came from
But even so, he can think of a hundred better ways to honor his lost tribe
Portia
Dying to have two full sleeves of sailor tattoos - she just has to have adventures to commemorate, first
Never had her ears pierced when she was little, and every time she’s thought about getting it done, hasn’t really bothered
There have been a few occasions where she added some clip-on earrings to an outfit, but for the most part, she’s fine without
When she first got to Vesuvia, though, with the warmer weather and popularity of body jewelry, she took the leap and got her nipples and belly button pierced
The nipple rings wouldn’t heal right, so she ended up taking them out, but she has a navel ring in every color, for every occasion, and busts out the crop tops at the first sign of summer to show them off
Lucio
Absolutely no tattoos. He’s way too obsessive about his skin, plus it involves sitting still for long periods of time
Piercings, though, he loves - it’s a quick in-and-out, and he has a new place to stick something gold
His ears are double-pierced, though he doesn’t always wear earrings, and avoids dangly ones as a reflex from his mercenary days
During which he actually got his nipples pierced as a dare, but he doesn’t regret it for a minute - not only are they great for hanging a gold chain when he wants to be extra sparkly, but they’re a little extra spice in the bedroom
Just like his “below the belt” piercings - sure, he had to take a two-month dry spell while they healed, but every partner since has thanked him for it
