Did you have any favourite scenes in the routes you've played?
Ohh... There is too many, I think. It's really hard to be specific because I'm finding something new every replay. Also, lol, i've played every route. Currently replaying Asra's n Julian's for the third time.
If we are talking about horny scenes (hey, its arcana fandom, everyone is horny here), first that comes to mind is Julian's temperature play. My fucking god it was extra hot.
And how can I not mention beach scene with Asra? It's impossible not to mention it. And that scene where Magician takes his form. And-
But, hm. I guess you wanted to listen about something more serious.
I don't think it would be surprise but I love Lazareth scene in Asra's route. It makes me cry every time. I love at least two thirds of his route tbh but still. It's just aaaaaaaaaa. I can't even express properly how I feel. I'm cracking at each mention of time between acknowledging mc's death and resurrection because I could only imagine how awful Asra felt at that time and even imagination is physically painful.
And his reversed ending... Ouch. I cried. That music, that... Everything. You see them and you just feel something is very wrong while both Asra and MC acts like everything is ok. And, hm, you also know what is wrong while they have some kind of memory loss. Or most likely... They didn't want to remember. I dont know if you had this ending so I won't spoiler much but this... This was really something. I would say I like reversed ending even more than upright.
Julian's route, hm. I love drama. So it's hard to pick. Yeah, true, mostly I just want to beat shit out of him. But. But.
Probably hanging scene? And trial was good too. I already knew why Julian wanted to be hanged but it was emotional anyway because mc didn't. And Julian, well. Julian.
He was such a dick to not telling mc his reasons. Just imagine, you want to save your lover and everything is more or less ok, this suicidal ass is willing to cooperate and even said "i want a future with you" that should mean he doesn't want to die and then he just ruin everything. What the fuck.
That speech about Julian Asra gives at the start? Blessing. Actually, I like first books of this route in general. That messy two-days "dating", docks talk, Asra's speech (i love him ok)... Everything my soul ever need. Oh, and Mazelinka! And Portia. Love them.
Oh, and of course his reversed! So much angst mmm delicious. Asra's was more painful tbh but everything about Asra is.
I think I could talk really long :D I'll just show you a screenshot that makes me 3": as an ending. By now.
(I love hugs ok. And I think noodle man gives great hugs)
