Concept/study for a comic. Inks by @scruffy-scribbler. Atmosphere, lights 'n' effects by yours truly.

Honestly thought he was going undercover or something

Then I realized the devs probably just reused the character since the last few chapters were rushed af and I really don't put it past them to do something like this 😀

Yep, here it is. Uhm.. the future for last legacy isnt looking great. The arcana and fictif been such a big part of my life these past few years. I cant begin to think about how much of a loss this is for me right now. Ive loved this community a lot, thx for all the memes and late night convos.. this feels like s goodbye from me but im gonna stick around to see where this shitshow leads me. Im definitely missing the good days though.. i dont think it will ever be the same

Now that FictIf and The Arcana have been bought out by Dorian, I feel the need to remind y'all as the only person who's spoken out about this but;

Heir To Love And Lies is an extremely racist story to its core.

The love inrerests are either harmful stereotypes or key players on the violence and corruption here in Colombia.

Even if Nathalie has a Colombian father, she has failed to accurately represent the country, the spanglish abhorrent and the treatment of rural Colombia is one of the worst I've seen.

The MC is a white saviour stereotype and is such an awful character whom barely cares about the town; especially when their decisions will affect the livelihoods of workers.

Chava and his whole family are a huge stereotype of low income workers and farmers in the perifery. Their relationship with the drug cartel was unnecessary and insulting— especially when Colombian people already struggle with discrimination about being poor coca and marijuana farmers.

Sergio is literally the epitome of everything wrong with Colombia and shouldn't be romantisized as a love interest— especially as he is related to an assasination which happen in Colombia on the daily .

Val is part of the most corrupt, homophobic and racist institutions and attempting to make her a love interest makes me want to barf as an lgbt Colombian. Especially when I receive news on the daily of lgbt people getting abused by police. I'm glad her route never got released.

The whole story glorifies the foreign colonization of Colombia's economy; which have affected our country gravely— even leaving entire regions of ours in extreme poverty.

'La Dama Roja' is such an awfully constructed character; both character design and story-wise. Her dress is mexican right out of the bat. Her whole character crumbles apart once you actually learn about Colombian politics and culture.

The whole story is a complete regression for Colombian representation and a slap on the face for me, and many other latino users whom have shared their concerns privately to me. It perpetrates so many harmful stereotypes and completely misunderstands the intricacies of Colombia and its people. It ignores our pleas for positive rep after being thrown and dragged through the mud as a druggie country for upwards of fourty years and refuses to acknowledge that Colombia is more than just drugs and coffee.

If you want 'good' Colombian representation, you are much better off watching Encanto in spite of its issues.

If you want Colombian rep that is more mature leaning I would recommend;

Los Viajes Del Viento for a culturally accurate depiction of the north of Colombia

Señorita María: La Falda De La Montaña for a documentary about being lgbtq+ trans in rural Colombia

Los Colores De La Montaña for a depiction of how the drug war has affected innocent farmers in rural Colombia

These are all critically acclaimed movies that all tackle living in the small towns that HTLAL is supposed to be based upon and do a much better job at it.

Also, I've said this many times but I think it's worth mentioning that if you want a more in-depth representation of all the issues HTLAL fails to tackle respectfully, y'all should read The Rebellion of The Rats by Fernando Soto Aparicio

Hey, since we can't have nice things without some random making it about their personal experiences, have ANY of you asked your fellow NH Latino fans/followers their opinion about Heir to Love & Lies??? :))))

Because I can assure you, Latino followers make up almost a FOURTH of the fandom and they are NOT happy with this story :)))

If you have payed a sliver of attention to the Internet lately, you don't even need them to tell you why they dislike it so much and why they have an actual problem with it, but oh well let's instead focus on how the poor, poor little necromancer who wears the fucking bones of his dead pet raven around his neck is 'mocked' by the fucking villain of his story for his style. Cool.

Sergio in Lucio's Masquerade outfit please?

HTLL LIs reactions to calling them pretty <3

I JUST WANTED TO CALL THEM PRETTY. That's all lol

Masterlist

Val

Stutters and blushes. She just shuts down for a quick moment before she just returns it tenfold.

Never gets old no matter how many times you call her pretty. It helps her especially when she feels at her lowest, and just pumps her up when she knows she looks good.

She gets this gorgeous smile on her face whenever you do she's so damn preciousssss no matter her mood she just lights up

Sergio

He knows lol but he still gets pretty damn shy about it. He just sits there with a blush and returns the compliments <3

The only time he's genuinely surprised is when he's not put together, when he just woke up and he's in disarray. When you tell him he's pretty then he knows you're serious.

Over all will not refuse any praise. You can just plop yourself on his lap and call him pretty and he'll sit there and accept it lol

Chava

You call him pretty when he does literally anything. He's just sitting there? Pretty. Working around the plantation? Pretty. Being the spectacular man he is? Pretty.

He's kinda baffled by it every time. He returns it of course but he's just usually not the one being called pretty.

You introduce him to people as your pretty partner and he gets flustered and coughs awkwardly. He's noticeably happy every time you do though
