God, I love this absolute drama queen

[apathy-crossroad]

When the night whispers secrets, his voice is the loudest:

‘You’re not the only one feeling greedy…’ 🌌🖤

This piece is inspired by Sylus’ Nightly Rendezvous Memoria, Night of Secrecy. I wanted to capture the intensity and intimacy of that moment, where shadows conceal everything but the heat of desire.

It’s my first time drawing something NSFW as well as skin tones other than the LIs.

I hope I did alright 👉👈

It’s been a challenge, but I’m excited to keep improving and refining my style. Hope you all enjoy this little indulgence! 💫

Can we talk about this?! How fucking hilarious it is, to get this cutesy infinity Nikki pink dress, with those beautiful shoes and so on... while the boys are going crazy? 🤣 This is amazing 😍

Oh the picture I will take with that outfit 🫶🏽

Go get their greedy a$$es, CN girlies 👑💯 From my understanding the CN boycott is beginning to move beyond just kittens, slowly spreading out to the rest of the fanbase. Which is great! The more people join, the bigger chance of success.

The fact that the hairstyles and outfits are pulled separately for this banner is asinine. If you look up money hungry in the dictionary, you'll find a group photo of Paperfold's higher-ups.

I am fully onboard with the CN girlies demand for more rewards during grinding. The droprates are extremely low rn and it's unjustifiable.

I think it's fitting to also include this post here showing the struggle players face in endgame

[x]

Like I mentioned in a post of my own, grinding for Dias in endgame is infuriatingly difficult even for whales or dolphins (ie the people that can afford to invest in all 5 LIs). In the long run this will be unsustainable. A change by Paperfold is necessary atp. Remember, they are a multimillion corporation. They can absolutely afford to be more generous. So why aren't they? Answer: they're greedy and, as long as players let them, they will push this behavior as far as they can. To the detriment of their game. They are showing a blatant lack of regard or respect for their playerbase with this stingy behavior.

I personally feel like the upcoming banner — and the separate hair + outfits — is a cash grab by Paperfold. LADS flopped hard in January and now the company are scrambling to recover. So I feel like the course they'll ultimately take in the future hinges a lot on the success — or lack thereof — of this new banner. If it succeeds, well, then they know that all they need to do is throw sexy banners at us and they're off the hook. No need to implement changes. If it tanks however, then they'll have to face the music and listen to their consumers. Rein in their greed. Make things right. Communicate. Treat the LIs equally (this is my hope anyway as a Sylus girly b/c let me tell you it's rough out here). At least this is my assumption. It'd be idiotic of them if they still refuse to heed their customers and ignore the boycott. Especially considering how much their Scrooge McDuck a$$es obviously love money.

Let's hope for the best and, if you can and want to, please do join in on the boycott. The most effective way of doing so is not to spend money during the banner and to refrain from pulling even using red dias or tickets for the first 3 days of the banner period. And also to limit your time on the app during the same timeframe (that is, 3 days). Spread the word. Send a message with your wallet. Don't encourage blatant greed and mistreatment. We as consumers hold more sway than we think. Remember, we are boycotting out of love for this game and a desire to see it thrive for years to come as well as to prevent it from becoming entirely P2P. Because if Paperfold gets away with their current behavior, then more and more players will eventually get turned off by a game that essentially forces you to spend considerable chunks of your hard earned money for the bare minimum. Again, and I'm not saying this lightly, it'll be unsustainable.

Wait, how did I miss this???? Tamino???? TAMINO????

A week after I said this ????

I'm not a big fan of the magic flute, but this code name fed my delusions so well 😭

Tamino was deceived into thinking that the Queen's daughter Pamina was kidnapped by an evil demon who was later revealed to be Sarastro who inherited the temple of the sun instead of the Queen of the night. As the story progresses, Tamino and Pamina go through a series of trials, and as they walk through fire and water they enter the temple of the sun. At that moment, the Queen comes back to destroy the temple but in the end, she meets her doom. And that's how the sun overpowers the night.

Honestly, I want to believe that the prophecy told in the tome of the Sea God was meant to mislead Rafayel. The flame in the temple, promised by the prophecy, relies on two lovers stealing the other's hearts to provide the faith that ignites the flame.

But as Rafayel said before, that warm flame is incomparable to the power of the sun. When MC gave her purest worship to Rafayel at the end of the Forgotten Sea, I think he saw that the power promised by the tome was nothing compared to the newborn flame MC gave him.

So maybe after that, Rafayel decided to join "the temple of the sun" and maybe now he's going through the trials. A trial that forbids him from speaking to his Pamina first. And then, the trials that they will face together after the misunderstandings are resolved.

Maybe, in the end, Lemuria will meet its real sun. And maybe, in the end, the flame that illuminates an entire civilization won't come from bloodshed.

And maybe, the reason why Rafayel rejected MC's heart at the end of the Sea of Golden Sand was because he knew that this was not the way to enter the "temple of the sun". He knew that a Lemuria that relied on the suffering of these two lovers was not the place he wanted to live in and was not the place he wanted his followers to live in.

if you ever wanted a rough zayne.... here we go. so sorry for what I'm about to say next

This zayne would absolutely make you kneel in front of him. Not listening? No worries, nothing a gentle slap on your cheek or hand fisting your hair won't get across as he forces you to your knees.

This zayne would also get off on getting called master, he doesn't want to admit it but it probably makes his brain go fuzzy seeing you look up at him between his thighs and call out to him in a sweet, humiliated tone. Are you embarrassed?

This zayne also makes you get yourself off using his shoe. Needy? Okay, take care of it yourself and let him watch.

I don't make the rules I just carry on the message

[apathy-crossroad]

As someone who is asexual

Watching everyone react to the banner drops and how absolutely feral you all go has been my personal entertainment the whole day
