ARCANA FANS.!!!!! HOLY FUCK!!!!!

with the crazy influx and rise of yumeshipping, i think it important for me speak on how absolutely disgusting and gatekeepy and downright?? wrong?? This fandom has become?? not only on a fans side but fucking dorian too

i’ve been into the arcana fandom since I was a wee bab (old ass), and Valdemar has truly become one of my fav character of all time (if not, the best character for me) I say this only as important context, and not to say i’m a bigger fan than anyone else and i’m the number one or whatever cus that just engages in wrong fandom etiquette.

What I am here to speak on is the absolutely downright weird ass treatment of OUR queer characters in the arcana fandom.

I have been torn down from fellow fandom members for criticising that Dorian promotes Asra and constantly calls them a ‘Man’ in marketing to appeal to their target demographic while disregarding their identity. And yk what that got me? I got called enbyphobic for saying erasing a nonbinary characters identity for marketing was strange. (The dorian devs also deleted my comments mentioning this multiple times from the post… sneaky..!)

Even worse than this is the constant berating people get for reminding people that Valdemar is sex repulsed, romance repulsed aroace. The arguments i get against this fact is that ‘aroace people can still feel those things’, and yes, whilst that is true Valdemar does not. It does not feel like proper representation of the aroace community if other aroace people remove that aspect of their character, which is arguably incredibly important. I do not think you can yumeship with valdemar without disregarding this fact, and I believe that is wrong.

do not argue with me in the comments. I won’t be responding. BAI!!!!

Truth bomb truth bomb truth bomb. I have had my own experience as an aroace person be invalidated so much bc of this. I do not get rep and whenever I say ‘Valdemar is aroace’ I get hit with ‘well it’s an umbrella’ and ‘aroace can feel that too’ there’s other people too. And it is not fair to me and others who keep hitting us with that argument because you are absolutely invalidating so many people with it.

What is your favourite bit of Lloyd lore from ANY universe she’s been in

OOHIEHEHEIBE BEHEHHEEEEEEE there’s a lot in so many universes, the arcana holds very dear to me with her the most. A friend of mine mentioned this when we were writing and it’s my favorite abt Lloyd, but also so very tragic, that she almost gets the thing she wants. It’s always just out of reach before something happens.

Her friendship with valdemar was probably the best companionship she has ever had, felt less alone, seen and heard for the first time and it only lasted a little bit before she died. She so desperately sought companionship and when she found it it was short lived. She still enjoyed every moment of it. Holds no resentment to valdemar when she died. It’s her tragedy, her happiness is always just out of reach.
