Portia who, having spent the majority of her life with grandmothers, acts like one herself when she's not thinking about it.
"Tsk"ing if you get out of the bath and don't dry your hair right away
Keeping candies in her bag at all times for any random child she encounters
Idly gossiping in the kindest, most nurturing tone as she absolutely rips someone to shreds with her roasts
Still purchasing random sweaters two sizes too large for Julian every fall so he "has room to grow into it"
One day she finds two wicker rocking chairs in the market at a steal of a price and the moment she sets them out on her porch she's reached peak grandmotherhood. She and Pepi spend hours outside in the sun on her days off, rocking leisurely as she covers her lap with the third crocheted blanket of the month for her coworker's new baby and sips from her (spiked) cup of tea.
You'd tease her for it, but the matching rocking chair is so comfy and the cookies she baked are so scrumptious and the way Pepi purrs like a motor on your shoulder is too perfect to disturb.

Vesuvia weekly ; Familiar Swap
Pairings : none
Fandom : The arcana visual novel
Warnings : very angstyyyy ; feeding a snake ; valdemar working on a corpse ; handling of bodyparts ; beetles/insects
Summary : It wasn't the first time. Hells, it would probably always be like this... Not even cold blooded creatures wanted his careful touch.
Liam watched sadly as Faust curled up into a ball onto the draped table, his heart constricting painfully in his chest. He folded his hands back onto his lap after yet another failed attempt at holding the blue snake. Asra had gone out once more, but had left Faust in Liam's care. It didn't seem to bother her at all, but every time Liam tried to reach out for her, to try and carry her like Asra would, she'd recoil. He didn't understand... Was she scared of him? He was certain she'd known him for a while... What was wrong with him?
He sighed and got up, going to the kitchen. There, he picked up the little bucket in which he'd left a mice or two to warm up, and brought the bucket back to Faust. He watched as she slithered into it and started eagerly eating one of the mice. Was he even allowed to watch...? His mind went back to a day or two ago when he'd tried giving her food by hand, which is something Asra would always do -even though he'd been advised against-. The one time Liam had tried, Faust categorically refused to eat the mouse presented to her. It's as if the fact that Liam had touched the food was enough to make it simply impossible for her. He'd tried leaving the mouse to rest for a while, thinking maybe it had to do with his smell potentially tainting that of the small rodent, but even hours after, she wouldn't eat it. That memory alone made the necromancer feel even sadder. He looked away from the blue snake eating, crossed his arms on the table and rested his head into it, sighing. Faust wouldn't let him carry her, pet her, touch her at all, feed her by hand...
What was wrong with him...?
The next few days weren't as hard to deal with as Liam had expected. He simply ignored Faust unless it was time to feed, if only to keep himself sane for a little bit longer. When Asra came back, he thanked him; apparently, Faust had enjoyed staying at the shop and taking it easy for once. Liam said nothing and stayed in his room for the rest of the evening...
Portia, in a hurry, had asked Liam if he could spend the night at her cottage and feed and take care of Pepi, as she was extremely busy with dinner preparations for the Countess and her sisters that night. Liam hesitated, but accepted, a small spark of hope in his chest. As the moon rose, he made his way to the small, nature-surrounded house. He searched for the keys for a little while in his pockets, as well as the small note Portia had left him about where the food was. Through the wooden door, he heard some excited -albeit impatient- meowing and smiled. "There there, the food is coming." he said gently while chuckling as he opened the door. He smiled down brightly at the cat, but as soon as she saw him, her pupils blew wide and she took several steps back, back arched and tail puffed in warning. Liam's heart almost shattered in pieces right here and there, his smile dropping. "Oh, of course..." he mumbled under his breath, the door behind him softly. He pulled the hood of his robe over his head, feeling something akin to shame at the way the cat reacted to him. He avoided looking at her, went into the kitchen, simply grabbed the food and put the small bowl in the living room's floor. He then retracted to the corner of another room, from where he silently observed Pepi as she carefully started eating. It seemed putting some distance helped a little...
Later in the night, in a desperate attempt to befriend the cat, Liam sat down on the floor and softly called out to her, extending his hand for her to smell. The cat warily approached, her fur standing somewhat on end as she sniffed around Liam's finger. She let out a confused growl, wondering why her mistress' scent was mixed with that of this...
She then hoped away, going to drink some water. Liam let his hand drop back down, as he knew this was the closest he was ever going to get.
When he noticed Portia coming back, he promptly left the house, walking up to her with a faint smile. She warmly thanked him, before walking through the door of the cottage. Liam distinctly remembers the way Pepi jumped in her arms and meowed happily, her mistress coddling her and pampering her little head with kisses before going to bed, blowing out the candles that had been lit for the night. He doesn't know how long he'd stayed standing there, on the dirt path, fighting back his tears...
It was a normal day. Too normal... Boring, almost. Liam sat there, at the shop's counter, and found himself counting the minutes that passed. His fingers drummed against the glass under his hands, and he sighed. There hadn't been a single client today. It happenes, he supposed. But Gods he really didn't have anything to do right now... He decided to leave. He closed the shop and walked down the streets of Vesuvia, towards the palace. He tried to be quick, but had to take a good few minutes to catch his breath once he'd reached the top of the stairs that led to the palace. Once he entered, he greeted the few people he saw, and walked towards the library. There, he opened the passage to the dungeons and walked down. If there was one person who knew how to pass the time creatively, it was them.
He smiled as he noticed Valdemar at their operation table, as usual, busy with a corpse. They only gave a brief hum of acknowledgement when he said hi. "Would it be strange if I asked you if I can stay?" he asked next. "A little." they replied, not looking up from whatever organ they were fiddling with. Liam fiddled with his fingers. "...So can I stay?" It didn't matter if he helped or not, he just... Didn't want to be alone. He swallowed the lump in his throat at the unfortunate realization he'd just made, and simply stood off to the side, arms crossed and eyes downcast. Valdemar didn't say anything, and Liam took it as a somewhat affirmative response.
Unexpectedly, Valdemar spoke up after a while. "Here, could you throw me this in the pit?" they said, extending a severed arm in Liam's general direction, still not looking up from the corpse they were working on. The necromancer blinked a few times, taken aback by the request but shrugged and executed himself. He took the arm from their grasp, and walked towards the beetle pit, pulling the lever that opened it. To his surprise, hundreds of little red beetles crawled out, and started climbing his legs, some his arms, and others already gnawing at the severed limb in his hand. He froze and stared wide eyed for a hot minute... He could barely even hear the creatures' skittering. The beetles... Were they not... Afraid of him? He tried to gather his wits, and looked at the arm he was holding. They were probably only interested in this... Yes, it had to be the logical explanation. He threw the arm in the pit and watched as most of the beetles crawled back inside, visibly excited at the prospect of feeding.
...But he noticed a few had lingered on him. He hesitantly reached for them and guided them back towards the pit. They weren't fleeing from his touch... He shook his head and closed his eyes, hoping to stop the tears that threatened to fall. He observed one of the red beetles which was still crawling around curiously in his hand. In his hand... He saw it tentatively nip at his skin, and then, with a slightly shaky finger, gently patted it. It didn't flee. It didn't buzz in protest. It... Stayed. Liam felt his throat get tight.
"They must think you're food."
Valdemar's words suddenly rang out in his ears, painfully tearing at his heart. His chest tightened and he held his breath, in a desperate attempt to hold back the tears as well. Food... That meant he smelled of decay. That he felt like a corpse... He shakily let the beetle back in the pit, closed it, and then hurried out of the dungeons without further explanation, leaving Valdemar slightly confused. It wasn't like him to just leave without even waving goodbye...
Once back in his room, Liam shut and locked the door behind him, falling onto his bed and finally breaking down in sobs. He clutched his pillow tight and curled up on himself, letting his body be shaken by the tears. The red beetles weren't scared of him, but didn't love him either, only confused him for their source of sustenance... It was not fair.
how ironic was it that the only living creatures that dared approach him were the ones that thrived around death...?

Yeah it's here!!!! My masterpiece!!! I'm so proud of this, I could actually shed a tear *snif*
So, a couple pointers:
1- Thank you for your patience, this actually took way longer than I expected and the fact that I got suddenly swamped with work did *not* help-but it's here now!! Hope you like it :D
2- If you remember the original piece I posted (the sketch) you'll notice quite the differences here and there. Can you spot them all?
3- One of the reasons this took so long is that the candies were supposed to be all generic when I suddenly remembered there were canonically halloween arcana candies I simply could *not* exclude and keep my self respect. Or the five years of my life I'll never get back from having to edit them in. *Sigh*
4-The costumes are based on the Arcana Halloween Charms. All you Lucio stans I hope you can understand that I simply couldn't in good conscience give kid Lucio the original outfit that his adult counterpart wore. His new outfit is based in his Devil-sona from Muriel's route, hope it suffices.
5- For a moment I was a little bummed about how accidentally overproduced Nadia's pumpkin was but honestly that's such a Nadia thing to happen that I can't help feeling that it fits perfectly.
6- This was very fun to make but I also kinda felt like my soul had been given in sacrifice to the digital art Gods. I'm freeeeeeeee
7-If anyone wants to repost remember to credit/tag me!!! Also if you want to edit your own Mc too just dm and i can give you the clear version with room for them.
All in all, this was fun!!! See ya around fellas ;)
Edit: Some stuff I forgot to mention:
8: there's a hidden devil's chocolate in Nadia's pumpkin as a reference to her reversed ending (give those players a reference. Players love 'em references. I know cause I'm a player)
9: Lucio's pumpkin is the only one that isn't super loyal to the original, that's bc at first I drew them all from scratch before learning how to properly reproduce them. I was planning on changing it too but I realized that I accidentally made it look like the ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °) emoji which i personally find hilarious so I kept it.
10: Julian was suppossed to have a pumpkin like the rest but I thought "Julian is totally that drama queen club kid that is COMITTED to the aesthetic and would totally use a bag instead of a bucket since that's what a pirate would use...completely disregarding the fact that they tear easily and lose like half his candy on the way home" (don't worry, Portia made sure to point it out and they Hanzel and Gretel'd their way back to rescuing his pirate loot)
11-Asra got Muriel his costume since he didn't want to come wear one at first
12- Asra's bucket has licorice that both resemble's faust and his parent's snakes. He also got him bread from the baker (everyone else had 2 themed candies and I felt bad for Muriel who only got one)
13- Both Julian and Portia get Mazelinka taffies
14- Mc's bucket has all 6 themed candies that directly reference the love interests- yaaayyy references son

MC’s Familiar Having a Crush on LI’s Familiar - Headcanon
Arcana Characters (Main 6 + Familiars)
A/N: another poll winner! The request for this one specifically asked for the reactions of the LIs and their familiars, so it doesn’t really fall into “x MC” territory :) also, I’m leaving the species of MC’s familiar purposefully vague, but with the assumption that it’s not the same species as LI’s! Please let me know if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes!
TW: swearing in Lucio’s section
❤️Julian❤️
As a man of science, he has many questions
Are relationships between different species common in the magical world? Does a “crush” indicate that familiars have a similar level of sentience to humans? Is this an innate trait, or something that manifests as a result of magic?
The temptation to launch a scientific investigation is strong in this situation, but he restrains himself
It feels immoral to toy around with love, even if he doesn’t really understand it
However, that means that he’ll be supporting this crush from both the standpoint of a friend and a scientist
🌑Malak🌑
He had never really thought about romance before
Most of his time was spent bothering people and collecting shiny things, and he was content with that life
So finding out that another creature had a crush on him was an odd experience, to say the least
Not to mention that it was someone he already knew, and shared a strong connection with
He thinks he might give it a try. He won’t be sharing his collection of shiny things, though
🧡Portia🧡
Immediately thinks it’s the cutest thing to ever happen
100% supportive, no matter the species difference
Gives your familiar the shovel talk (Pepi is her baby, after all)
Makes all the classic parent jokes about keeping the door open
After making that joke, she sits in silence and contemplates the reality of the relationship, and now also has many questions
Will not be asking them though; might ask Julian about it later
🐈Pepi🐈
Embarrassed by her mother, which is difficult to achieve, given that she is a cat and feels no shame
When she finds out about the crush, she just kind of shrugs it off
It makes sense, after all; she is a cat, and cats are perfect
If the crush seems serious, then she’s willing to reciprocate
Probably would not be the best partner— she prefers to spend her time napping in the sun, so if your familiar is high energy then it might not work out
💛Lucio💛
What the fuck
Like, genuinely, what the fuck
I mean, he’s not really one to judge, given his own weird tastes
But, like, really? How the fuck does that happen?
Thinks his dog(s) can do better than your familiar, and makes this well-known
🐾Mercedes OR Melchior🐾
Makes perfect sense to him— he would fall in love with himself too
Not really interested in reciprocating though: he is a very busy boy
Many squirrels to chase and bones to chew
May pursue a more dedicated friendship, though
And if he’s feeling generous, then he may share one of his toys with your familiar
💚Muriel💚
A bit hesitant at first
He’s a very reserved kind of man, and he really only has Inanna by his side all the time
So he doesn’t know how he feels about losing her to any degree
But if it makes her happy, then he’ll support it
After all, it’s your familiar, and he trusts you
🐺Inanna🐺
Really did not expect that
Immediately rejects the crush, partly out of panic, because she really doesn’t want anything to change
But over time, she realizes she might like something more with your familiar
Eventually, the crush is returned
Mostly, she truly feels comfortable with it when she realizes she will always have Muriel’s support
💙Asra💙
Makes perfect sense to him; he’s loved you for years, so it’s only natural that Faust would form a bond with your familiar as well
He thinks it’s really cute, and encourages them to spend time together
Sometimes jokes with Faust about her “snake charm”
As a bonus, your familiars spending time together means that the two of you can spend more time together as well
Most definitely plans double dates (platonic or romantic)
🐍Faust🐍
Faust had a crush on your familiar before they had a crush on her
So she’s delighted to see it’s returned!
Very enthusiastic about having a partner
If your familiar is larger, then she’s hitching a ride whenever they hang out
Very cuddly for a snake, especially if your familiar gives off body heat
💜Nadia💜
Keeps her thoughts to herself while she tries to understand how exactly your familiar can have a crush on hers
She doesn’t want to judge what she doesn’t understand, so she asks you a few questions about it
Once she gets the gist of it, she’s very supportive, and finds it rather cute
Keeps an eye on Chandra though, since she knows her familiar likes her personal space, and helps to enforce boundaries
Overall thinks it’s harmless fun
🦉Chandra🦉
Eh
She’s not into romance, and let’s your familiar down as easily as she can
Still wants to be friends, but needs her own space
She’s a very solitary creature, and she has no desire to change
Will still occasionally be more affectionate to your familiar when she sees that they’re feeling down

More Portia, 'cause yes💜
I drew this free hand and only later noticed how her sleeves are usually short, so, I made a quick imagine to justify the change
As soon as it got cooler Portia got her longer uniform out. It is now Winter in Vesuvia. Portia is inside her cottage, the shutters closed, and cuddles inside warm blankets as she cross-stitches a colorful flower field. She yearns for the spring to arrive, so her flowers will bloom around her once again, enveloping her in their scent.
She looks up, noticing how the comforting purrs aren't there anymore. Come to think of it, she hasn't heard them in a while. Worried she leaves her fortress of warmth and coziness and looks around. Pepi is nowhere to be found, not on the counters, inside the oven nor under the bed. She made up her mind to search for her on the fields next, that's when she hears scratches on the wooden house door.
Swiftly she opens the door, and there is Pepi. Her fur is covered in quickly melting snowflakes. Portia scoops her up in her arms, "I was worried about you, you rascal" she says as she is warming her up. "Don't scare me like this again, do you hear me?" Pepi meows back. Portia giggles "apology accepted. I am glad we had this talk." She brings Pepi close to her face and let the noses touch "Boop."

Portia's Day Off
Summary: You and Portia spend a wonderful day together
Written for: @the-slumberparty
Words: 1623
Square Filled: B1- Cottage Core and N1- Baking
Pairing: Portia Devorak x Gender Neutral Reader
Warnings: None
Your eyes slowly opened as the morning light cracked in through the curtains. Stretching, you smiled and rolled over to admire Portia’s peacefully sleeping form. Normally, she would be awake long before now but as she had been doing a lot of work lately, Nadia insisted Portia take the day off. Placing a gentle kiss on her ginger curls, you carefully untangled yourself from your comfortable position to make her breakfast in bed. Feeling movement, Pepi woke and moved from her spot on the bed to investigate.
“Sorry, Pepi. I didn’t mean to wake you,” you quietly apologised. “Shall we get started on breakfast?”
Pepi stretched her back before jumping off the bed and heading to the kitchen.
…
After feeding Pepi, you set to work on making Portia her favourite breakfast. You hummed as you cooked, soon feeling a pair of arms wrap around your waist.
“Hey… I thought you were still asleep…” you smiled.
“Bed’s cold without you,” she purred, nuzzling your back.
“Do you want to help me make breakfast since you’re here?”
“You know it,” she grinned.
You smiled back as she stepped beside you and together, you started making a lovely breakfast. Occasionally, there was a playful bump of the hip or a stolen kiss on the cheek as you worked and it wasn’t long before you had your food served up. The pair of you sat down to eat with Pepi taking her usual spot nearby.
“So, what did you want to do today?” Portia asked, digging into her pancakes.
“We could tend the garden, do some baking, invite our friends for tea,” you suggested.
“Yes! Let’s do all of that!” she grinned.
You grinned back and ate your breakfast.
…
After you had finished eating, the pair of you went to check on your newly acquired chickens. It was Muriel who first gave you the idea to raise chickens and after seeing some in the market, you found them so adorable, you couldn’t resist not having them. Every morning, you would open the door to their little enclosure, collect the eggs and gave them some feed for them to scratch around in and every night, you would lock them away all safe and sound. You also had to keep a fence around your veggie garden so they wouldn’t come in and dig up or eat your vegetables.
Once the chickens were tended to, you sent out an invitation to all your friends with a time to come to afternoon tea. You weren’t sure if Muriel would even come but you hoped that maybe Asra might convince him.
You got all the ingredients out as Portia pulled out a few cookbooks. The pair of you looked at a few recipes and decided on a pie and some cookies. You worked on making the pie while Portia made the cookies. So engrossed you were on making sure the base fitted neatly into the pie tin, you never noticed the wicked little grin on Portia’s face. You were humming to yourself when suddenly, you were blasted with a sprinkling of white power. Blinking a few times in surprise, you turned to look at Portia who was doing her best to look innocent but she couldn’t stop the cheeky smile pulling at the corners of her lips.
“Did you just… flick flour at me?” you asked.
“What? Me? Of course not,” she protested, barely able to contain her snickering.
“Really? Well, I didn’t do this!”
You flicked flour back at her. She stared at you dumbfounded before grinning widely.
“Oh, it is on, Y/N!”
And just like that, a battle for the ages began. Dust clouds plumed as flour flew in the air, getting all over the kitchen, your clothes and hair. The pair of you laughed and shouted, getting carried away in the fight. The only the thing that stopped you was a sudden, sharp, “Mrrp!”
You looked down to see Pepi covered in flour, looking rather displeased.
“Oops… Sorry, Pepi…”
Pepi shook herself off and headed outside, leaving little pawprints in her wake. You and Portia looked at each other before bursting into laughter.
“We should- we should get back to work,” you managed to get out between laughs.
“We really should,” Portia agreed, clutching her stomach as she was laughing so hard.
It took a while for the pair of you to settle down but even then you still had the giggles. Eventually, you had your pastries completed and set them bake in the oven. Of course, one would take a little more time than the other so you opted to do some so gardening while you waited.
…
Portia stayed closer to the house while you tended the garden to keep an eye on the oven to make sure it wouldn’t burn. She watered some of the plants by the cottage before getting distracted by watching you weed the garden. You took great care to save the nettles (without them stinging you) for nettle tea and keep the dandelions for dandelion wine. Occasionally, you would stand to stretch your back or wipe the sweat from your brow. Portia couldn’t help but giggle as Pepi brushed up against your leg and as you bent down to do more weeding, headbutt your hands to demand pats.
She smiled to herself and thanked every lucky star she had someone like you in her life; someone who was kind, fun to talk to and loved every little part of her. Portia in turn, loved every little part of you. All those insecurities and demons from the past all seemed to fade away whenever you were together, especially on days like this.
Hearing the ding of the timer, Portia headed in to take the cookies out of the oven and swap for the pie. Once she had completed that task, she called you in for lunch while she busied herself preparing iced fruit tea and toasted the pumpkin bread you bought from the market last week with an assortment of spreads. You greeted her with a kiss on the cheek and set out to help her.
“No, no, I’ve got it. You go and sit down,” Portia insisted.
“I can help,” you protested.
“I’ve got it. You’ve been doing all that hard work outside; you deserve a sit down.”
With a sigh, you took a seat at the table. Portia already did so much for everyone, it made you feel guilty when you couldn’t help her. She soon had everything set out and joined you at the table. The first thing she noticed was your pout.
“What’s that look for?” she asked.
“Nothing…”
Portia grabbed your chin with her thumb and forefinger to make you look at her, causing your face to heat up.
“You’re pouting. Now, tell me what’s wrong,” she asserted.
“It’s just that… you do so much. Around here, at the palace, and I feel like… you deserve to be waited on… I want to spoil you…” you admitted.
Portia smiled and kissed you softly.
“Every day I’m with you I’m spoiled,” she confessed sliding her hand to your cheek.
You smiled and kissed her palm, leaning into her warm touch. The two of you stayed there like that for a moment before pulling away to finish your lunch before your guests arrived.
…
Nadia was the first to knock on your door, bringing a spiced tea from her homeland of Prakra. You began making the preparations for it while she and Portia engaged in pleasant small talk. The next to arrive was Julian, making a dramatic entrance. Portia rolled her eyes at her brother and welcomed him inside. Finally, Asra came brining Muriel with him. Muriel was reluctant to enter your home with too many people for his liking but with some encouragement from Pepi, he soon took a seat at your table.
The table was filled with the pie and cookies you had made that morning along with coffee, a pot of Nadia’s tea and a few assorted snacks and drinks. The smell of fresh baking still hung in the air. Everyone helped themselves and engaged in lively conversation. Nadia caught everyone up on the latest happenings in the palace. Asra spoke about the gossip he overheard in the marketplace. Julian told tales of his latest escapades at the Rowdy Raven. Portia filled everyone in on how her day off went so far. Feeling like Muriel was being left out, you decided to converse with him.
“Muriel, did you know we have chickens now?”
“You do?”
You could see his features begin to relax.
“We do. I’d be happy to show you when we’re done here,” you assured him.
Muriel softly smiled and turned his attention back to Pepi. You were certain he would have preferred to leave now than be with all these people but having furry to focus on was helping him cope.
…
By the time sunset rolled around, everyone was ready to leave but not before you made good on your promise to show Muriel the chickens and locked them away safely for the night. You welcomed him to come back anytime to see the chickens and Pepi too of course.
At the end of the day, you and Portia made a nice, easy dinner and sat on the porch to unwind a little before heading to bed. Tomorrow, Portia would resume her duties as a palace servant but for now she was all yours and you were all hers. It was a perfect way to end such a wonderful day.

Portia who (like her cat) leaves hair everywhere she's been without realizing it
You bump into Julian in the street and can immediately tell he got a hug from her because there's a single strand of long, curly red hair attached to one of the buttons on his chest
Flying tackle-hugs often involve a stray lock tangling in your eyelashes
She brushes her hair morning and night and takes excellent care of it, but there's just so much of it that it goes everywhere. Pepi thinks the floating strands are fantastic plaything for pouncing on
(CW for another pitiful brainrot attempt at doodling)

Pepi! Starting my Arcana Familiars series, where I'll draw all of the familiars (also with their human's fav flower if applicable)
Pepi is like, the sweetest girl. I love her so much. And I love the story of when she and Portia met, it was adorable.
I tried drawing the sweet peas, but they were kinda funky lol.
(I'm going to go backwards and draw the newer trio's familiars first. And yes, another M&M one too.)
