[catchymemes]

[excellentbitch]

isn’t that the neck tattoo guy

[excellentbitch]

[caribetidalwave-deactivated2019]

This guy needs to slow down 😂😂😂

[tybalt-you-saucy-boi]

THAT’S WHERE I RECOGNIZED HIM FROM

[silverstrike]

But how could you leave out this masterpiece???

[cryol]

I love him

[paper-mario-wiki]

[iseutz]

Oooooh, this was HUGE. Next time I will have to paint ruffles i will take a week off from work. But Alyssa has been very, very patient, and now I can finally share the commission piece she asked me for:. these are Asra and Queenie dancing at the Masquerade! Want a custom portrait? PM me!

[streamofarcanaconsciousness-blog]

Oh hey, it's my OC and Asra dancing at the masquerade. x3

[thearcanagame]

What gave you the idea/motivation to start The Arcana? Also, how did you guys do worldbuilding lol? (Is there a possible map that we might be able to see? :0) Otherwise!! I’m totally digging your game and you’re characters are 💯💯 concept? 👌👏💯 aesthetics?? On point™️

The motivation was that making games is our job, and we wanted to make the kind of thing we wanted to see in the world!Here’s a map of Vesuvia, a sneak peek at the artbook we’ve been working on. ~ Artist Skeleton

[elam-teh-sic]

Show creator: so here’s a witty, smart, well-thought character, with a rich background, complex past, and (s)he has lots of interesting quirks and skills…

Tumblr: YEAH, OKAY, BUT IS (S)HE TRANS? HOMOSEXUAL? POC?

Show creator: why does it ma~

Tumblr: BOOOOOOORING!!!!

[maggiekarp2]

Show creator: actually yes Tumblr: this is their only defining characteristic and this show is now only for people represented by that quality if they also agree with me on every subject

[mantis-cat]

Show creator: And they have some flaws/ or they’re a villain Tumblr: This show is a homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynistic pile of crap and all it’s fans are crap too.  

[judgingeternity]

Tumblr: *harasses and sends death threats to people over the show*

Show Creator: This is not why I made this show, I wanted to be inclusive and subversive but also make people happy, and this isn’t good, please stop it.

Tumblr: OMG So you like child porn and hate gay people!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[realvivianjames]

The fact that every single one of these has happened exactly like this is really depressing.

[i-rogue]

People In the notes: WeLl MaYbe If 100% Of EvErYtHiNg In ThE mEdIa WaSnT sTrAiGhT wHiTe PeOpLe We WoUlDnT aCt LiKe ThIs.

That’s not true, you kids are just insufferable jackasses who are never happy

[damned-after-all-deactivated201]

Thank God someone said it

[streamofarcanaconsciousness-blog]

Read the comments and you'll see a handful of the tumblr community telling SJWs to stfu. The truth is that they're wrong too. Tumblr's SJWs are far too sensitive but STFU wont help either, unless you're a cis white male, love only cis white males, or wish you were a cis white male.

[tattah-art]

Posting these again here because the quality of the pictures in replies is a joke

[streamofarcanaconsciousness-blog]

Regarding Fanfics

Curious on how other writers are working their fanfics into the arcana storyline, as it’s all over the place. I feel like it’s hard to write within what’s already written and expected of our MCs. I’m asking because I would love to write a fanfic but The Arcana isn’t like a book series or a movie franchise... so the places we’re able to write in are limited. 

Are people only sticking to lemons? Are some of you only sticking to the 3 years prior to the first book? I have so many ideas but I’m afraid of it being discredited by future books/chapters. 

Also, if you have one, plug it in the comments with a short pitch. :3

[streamofarcanaconsciousness-blog]

Word around the street is that Julian can be considered Jewish. I am 100% into that. I originally considered Ilya and Pasha Russian or Euro-ambiguous, considering their last name is Czech, Ilya has Russian/Hebrew origins, Pasha has Turkish orgins, Mazel is Finish, and Inka is Finish as well. Regardless, to me it doesn’t matter as the Devs told us no character is based off of a real culture but I’d love to hear some posi and negi comparisons/opinions to why people consider the Devoraks Jewish. <3

However, I’ve also considered Nadia as Indian-Ambiguous, Muriel as Indigenous-Ambiguous, and Asra as Afro-Latin-Ambiguous. 

Let me know how you feel or what you consider them and why...? I have a total open mind about it. 

[tattah-art]

Took me a while to notice they have eyes that compliment each other’s hair colors.

[thearcanagameconfessions]

[I like to think my Character is in a nice poly relationship with Julian and Asra because to be honest I like how my character is with both.]      

Confessions do not reflect the personal views of the mods 

[streamofarcanaconsciousness-blog]

I’ve been saying this... a nice, partially open, poly relationship where my boys can be with each other, myself, and sometimes another beautiful woman to love for the night.

The Arcana Apprentice Questionaire part 7

AGAIN -> I don’t remember where I got this from… So, sorry in advance. It’s fun, so please, do one, too. I’ll be answering between 1-10 a day. It’s a very long questionnaire…

Here are the next 10 questions:

How do they react to (both verbal and physical) conflict?

They either shut down or completely devote their time and energy for a resolution. There is no inbetween. 

Drinking...

Are you asking her on a date? If so, she accepts the invite. 

What kind of character faults do they have?  

She’s stubborn, petty, and can sometimes be messy, disorganized, and lazy.

What’s their best trait in their opinion?

She’s always striving to be a better person.

What do they think of their appearance?

It isn’t something that has crossed her mind. She tries to be as presentable as possible but something deep in her bones forces her to feel like physical appearances don’t matter, especially after the plague scarred Vesuvia. Living as long as she has in the inner city, which is mostly poor and neglected, she’s been desensitized from those types of stresses.  She worries more about inner beauty and comfort. 

How do they interact with people in a position of authority?

She tries to be as respectful as possible but that only goes so far. 

Who did they look upto as a kid?

Her family. Her grandfather and uncle taught her basic survival skills and her mother, Monserrat, taught her patience and wisdom. 

How do they interact with kids?

She treats them like animals. She boops them on their face and smiles. 

Do they want kids of their own someday?

Depends on what the universe wants of her. 

Are they religious? If so what god/goddess or gods/goddesses do they worship?

The God, Goddess, and tarot but most importantly, science.

~ WARNING ~

VAGUE THE ARCANA GAME SPOILERS

So, Asra tells us not to call him master because all he was doing was restoring the magic that was already ours but then later tells us that we were new to magic when he brought us into that cave we almost drown in… lol

So, he was a master previously or..?

I really hope the apprentice didn’t become a magician because of Asra’s sacrifice. I do hope the apprentice was a magician, previously. I like the idea of being powerful regardless of Asra, especially if they aren’t our character of choice.

I love Asra but I don’t want to feel in debt to him or shackled to him because of our shared power.

[streamofarcanaconsciousness-blog]

To me, Asra sounds the way Khalid sings, especially in Love Lies.

Mmm, baby. <3

[asras-damn-smirk]

Things Julian has probably said before/during/after sex and regrets doing so:

“Fits like a glove.”

“Playing doctor, are we?”

“How was that for a doctor’s appointment?”

“Thank you. You’re too kind.”

“Take me home with you.”

“I tried my best. Do I get credit for that?

“A gentleman never comes first-oh…sorry about that.”

“I can be your angle or your devil.”

“The gloves are for aesthetic purposes, actually.”

“Hahaharawrhaha”

[vlastomilf]

Imagine having a child with Julian. You carry him for 9 months in the awful heat of Vesuvia. You finally give birth. Julian, being Julian, decides to use leeches. Forbidden leeches. You scream. “GET THAT LEECH OFF MY CHILD!”

“It’s my child too.”

“NOT IF YOU PUT LEECHES ON IT!”

“They’re, ah… They have that extra succ strength™. Maybe it’ll help the baby be born quicker…”

“NO.”

Vlastomil bursts through the door. “Actually, she cheated on you. This is my child. And he likes worms.”

“They’re leeches…” Julian murmurs.

The kid is born. His name is Grub.

[random-arcana-blog]

hahaha what?

[emplaysotome]

Julian’s Route Be Like…

Nadia: I need you to find the Doctor.

Apprentice: Right. ‘Find’. Such a mystery where he is. I certainly don’t know. *clears throat awkwardly*

[streamofarcanaconsciousness-blog]

The Arcana Apprentice Questionaire part 6

AGAIN -> I don’t remember where I got this from… So, sorry in advance. It’s fun, so please, do one, too. I’ll be answering between 1-10 a day. It’s a very long questionnaire…

Here are the next 3 questions:

List four or more things they love to do

In no particular order: hand fishing with the bears, making music, practicing their craft, drinking, cooking spicy latin foods and making love.

List four or more things they hate to do

In no particular order: glamour work, sitting in with Nadia’s council, paperwork for the shop, 69…

List five or more things they have said that sum up who they are

1.     INT. BAR & FOOD- NIGHT

QUEENIE

(Eating meat with her bare hands)

mmm

BARISTA

That isn’t very lady-like.

QUEENIE

(mouth full and smiling)

I never said I was a lady.

 2.     INT. APPRENTICE SHOP/ MAZELINKA’S HOUSE– NIGHT

QUEENIE

(with passion)

Love me.

3.     INT. ROWDY RAVEN – NIGHT

JULIAN

What's your drink of choice?

QUEENIE

... Raspberry tea with Maple syrup.

JULIAN

Oh... you're a tea drinker. I once had the displeasure of courting an avid tea drinker (with melancholy) ... in my past life.

QUEENIE

Julian, you asked me what my drink of choice was, not if I liked them hard and down my throat.

Julian takes a beat.

QUEENIE (cont.)

...I do, by the way

JULIAN

(pleased)

Cheeky.

4.     EXT. NADIA’S PALACE GROUNDS – EVENING

ASRA

I won’t argue about this.

JULIAN

You have to admit, though, she shines when she’s with me.

QUEENIE

Sorry boys, I only shine after a bath. Besides, my other half is Gypsy.

Gypsy climbs up her clothes and takes an aggressive stance to face the boys at her neck and hisses.

QUEENIE

That’s my boy.

ASRA

(LAUGHS)

Well, I saw that coming.

Julian leers.

5.     EXT. MARKET PLACE – DAY

SHOPPER

(bumps into Queenie and improvises and insult)

QUEENIE

(spits at their feet)

Te maldigo a ti, a tus hijos y a los hijos de tus hijos por tener pedos de huevo apestoso

SHOPPER

What was that?

ASRA

She cursed your family and generations to come but don’t worry it’s only—

Shopper runs away in fear. Asra smiles at Queenie

QUEENIE

What?

ASRA

Were the theatrics necessary?

QUEENIE

It wasn’t serious…

ASRA

I know that but… they don’t know that.

QUEENIE

So? Don’t go to the kitchen if you don’t want to smell like food.

(a beat)

Hey, at least I didn’t hit them… this time.
