So RC just published a Shadow of Saintfour spinoff book (like, an actual paper book)

Good news, right?

Well, no 👀

Stephanie, a canon lesbian, ends up willingly kissing Cherry (and not as a joke or a prank; no, it's because she's really into him in the book)

So let me get this straight — they're erasing canon lesbians now

Wow, it's a new low, even for RC!

The writer of the book (some woman named Agatha; Alice didn't write the book herself) already tried to justify this by saying it's because of the law. But the Russian law prohibits mentioning lesbians, not forcefully making everyone straight. They could just make her single without pairing her up with a man

P.S. Also she's canonically white in the book. Because of course she is. We all know that RC would never let Black characters just be

Lesbian erasure and Black erasure — this November just keeps disappointing 💔

It's missing them hours 🥺💔🤲

Every Shakespeare's Code MC with her signature flower in the background of the wardrobe:

Rosemary 🌹

Camellia 🌺

Periwinkle 🪻

Sage 🌿

‼️Currently the feature is bugged and only works just once in both chapters — when MC is dressing up to visit the tavern‼️

This cute moment from the last update when Volot prepared some food and fed our MC in the forest 🥹🏕

You guys, he can cook!! 🍽🤌

I'm telling you, Volot is 💯 husband material 🫠🛐

The fall is almost over so I wanted to post something beautiful to say goodbye 🍂🧡✨

Lada & Volot by the Sacred Oak 🌳🌒

After the last leaf falls from that tree, the village is doomed to be lost in the haze (considering the theme of the story it had to be beautiful and spooky 👀🎃)

When I say I'm obsessed with them, this is what I mean 👀😮‍💨

Literally my first thought when I saw those feathers decorating his ritual robes 😅🪶

Here's hoping we'll put them to good use in the following updates 😌🙏

I've said it before, I'll say it again — this update was sooo good for Volot stans 😌🔥

So many interactions in every episode, and every one of them worthy of an artwork 🛐

Now, I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to visualize the river scene now, could I? 😌

So I commissioned yet another fanart, this time from:

How I imagine a Halloween celebration in that creepy Haze village 🏘🌲🌫

Bonfires 🔥 no clothes 👙🚫 rutuals 🛐 ...someone getting sacrificed 👀🩸

And boy, do we have plenty of options! Dragan (if he doesn't fix his attitude soon enough 😑), Vlas (get your drunk ass away from my girl Tata or else 🔪), Ozar's creepy sidekick (who was planning on seducing Lada even before she turned eighteen 🤢), the two mean blondes who bullied Lada 🙄 ...the list goes on and on ✍️

Honestly, I don't get why they're practicing animal sacrifice to revive the dying Sun when there're so many human assholes walking around 🤨

Anyway, happy Halloween everyone 🎃👻🍬

Yikes, we've got some more interactive story app racism to unpack 🤢

Thankfully, this time it's not Romance Club!

It's the rival app, League of Dreamers 👀

Just the other day I was discussing the new story (In the Arms of the Darkness) here on my page and mentioned that it's probably gonna be very whites-only because of the racism in the community. Even though the story is actually set in space in the distant future, so this time they don't have the "muh accuracy" excuse

And behold! The writer herself replied to somebody in her chat saying that there'll be no Asian or Black LIs in their story because, and I'm quoting her: "I'm racist"

Um... what a weird way to self-report 🤨

I mean, I get it, she's saying the quiet part out loud. I've long suspected that not only the Eastern European fandom is racist but the devs themselves as well (because they're part of the same fandom, most of them were readers before they became writers)

But the way she can just confidently say "I'm racist" and suffer absolutely no consequences whatsoever... is really revolting

One of my favorite Volot x Lada moments of the update 🥹💖🎀🫂

Commission from:

[fayromance]

When Lada first saw Volot shirtless, she noticed his scars shaped like Slavic runes and wanted to touch them and feel their supernatural power 🫳✨

The moment inspired me to commission this fanart from:

t.me/kredashka007

[fayromance]

Three weeks after the update — and I'm still not over that charged and yet still very cute swimming in the river scene 🏞💙

Can't wait for the next update 🥹🙏 And even though it's only 2 chapters this time, I hope we'll still get some more spellbinding romance with Volot (and other LIs, of course!) with the breathtaking nature in the background 🌊🌲

My love for this man just keeps growing with every update 🥹💖

Just wanted to share this piece of a Slavic rustic idyll 🌿🌲🐑

(which definitely isn't canon in that creepy village 😅)

Lmao your post about some fans defending the Russian fandom made me laugh so hard because you are speaking the pure and honest truth.

It reminds me back when I was ranting about the way some RU fans were bashing the characters in W:TC for not being white and a RU fan appeared to tell me how that is false and everyone loves Lucien very much and all the awful things they said about Shen and Lucien are jokes.

I ignored them because like my father said before, what is the point in arguing with racists? they never learn.

Honestly, I fucking wish those defenders were right and I was wrong and Russia was in fact a diverse and inclusive utopia. It would at least make life for me and my family a little easier since we have very non-white names and can get discriminated against based on our ethnicity 🥲

Certain people in the confessions comments:

Russian fandom isn't racist!! Stop badmouthing the Russian fans! 😤😤

Well, let's see what these wonderful non-racist people 🥰🥰 have to say about MCs of color under the traditional "Discussing the Highlights" post on TG 🤓

1. About Devi

Yeah, apparently anyone who's slightly darker than cottage cheese is Black now. Because we all know that real Indians look like grey-eyed Amala from KCD 🥰 (/sarcasm; if that Amala is Indian, then I'm the Queen of England)

2. About Agatha

Again, some melanin in your skin automatically makes you Black according to Russians

Cause obviously Hispanic, Arab, South Asian etc. people don't exist (well, duh, they're a government conspiracy 🤓) (/sarcasm again)

This one here says ink because of the auto translate but the original was Black. Yes, they're continuing to deny the existence of Brown people

This one is straight-up calling her N-word

3. About Vyxaria

You heard it here, folks, reverse racism exists and it happens when RC sometimes posts pictures of Black MCs (alongside white ones, of course, but who cares — it's not equality those fans want but supremacy)

And this comment right here which is saying being Black doesn't suit her. And the original Russian text is even worse (the auto translate didn't translate it properly), it says that all Black MCs in RC don't look good

Welp, there you have it. Next time someone tries to gaslight you about the Russian fandom being non-racist, inclusive, humanist paradise, just show them this post

Also the worst part is the RC values these players, listens to them and caters to them in their stories

I died and went to (Slavic) heaven 🫠🫠

Volot stans, we eating good this update 🥵🛐
