idk they seem familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

.

jokes aside I've been wanting to do this for a loooong time! I can't believe it's finally done.

below you will see the updated state headcanons that I reviewed with my friends from other states. 🇧🇷

if you haven't seen it before, here is the whole list of headcanons I managed to write for this AU. they're probably mostly outdated but it might be a nice read. 🤠🇧🇷

MC: one of the roosters ran up to me, gave me a pebble and did a flirty little dance while making happy noises. Which is the rooster equivalent of a proposal. A truly devastating blow to my boyfriend (Muriel), the man who helped raise him.

ꕥ Asra Headcanons: Jealousy ꕥ

If ever there was a healthy relationship, it would be one with Asra— it's something that is very important to him and something he actively works to maintain

Despite his willingness to spend his near every waking moment with you, he's very accommodating when it comes to you needing space

It's this same mutual trust and stability that makes him so comfortable with you spending time with other people

Despite his maturity and security, the beginning of your relationship (like any) was a period of heightened emotion. In the midst of it all, despite himself, Asra still had tiny inklings of self doubt and worry when it came to you being alone with people who had little reason not to be more than friends

He hated his anxiety about it, and felt guilty that there was still any part of his mind that struggled to trust you and your devotion to him

From the start, however, he'd never found himself feeling insecure when you two were together among other people. He always felt that being around you was very grounding, and you seemed to be able to restore all his sensibilities

By now his trust in you is unwavering, and he feels fully secure in the place he has in your heart. There are, however... a few small exceptions to his confidence

It hits the hardest when he's away for long periods of time. Every idle moment is spent thinking of you, and he makes sure to communicate with you as frequently as he can, but eventually the guilt of leaving you alone catches up

He has immense gratitude for the people in your life able to keep you company in his absence, but sooner or later the regret begins to take the shape of a benign jealousy that others are caring for you when he ought to be

He hates feeling so helpless, but the longer he's away the more that shame piles up on his heart. The muted envy that others are getting to do his job is never resentment, he's too grateful that you have support around you. But he certainly does wish he were there with you, reclaiming his responsibilities as your partner

Beyond that, there's little that could put a dent in his faith in your relationship. He knows any attempt to alter your mutual affection will be entirely unsuccessful

If someone does try to make a move on you, he feels in no way threatened, but he's quick to indulge in a little flaunting. A hand sliding down around your waist... Leaning close to your face to speak to you... A kiss to your knuckles... Standing close enough to you that his body brushes yours... All little ways to simultaneously flirt with you and deter those interested

Overall, he's nearly never jealous, and could hardly be a better partner if he tried 🫶

I FINALLY GOT IT!!!

this is The Arcana Brazilian AU: June edition!🎉

June feasts are the most incredible thing ever and it's literally my favorite time of the year. amazing food, nice music, tacky outfits and lots of fun activities. it's just perfect, man

so, i couldn't pass on the opportunity to make some AU content hehe

[paperstarwriters]

hi hey hey eldritch MC who after being resurrected knows way more than they should, who although doesn't know how to walk or talk initially, somehow knows a spell that is so old it's never been written down. Reader who scares the M6 with how.... inhuman they seem to sometimes be.

Just one day while trying to practice and work on some basic magic lights or something you somehow create some sort of anti-light that coats the entire space in pitch black darkness. And it happens often, you just keep doing things that is not in any of Asra's books. They go looking on their trips for explanations or any advice on what to do or how to nullify these spells you somehow know, but the only bit of information they've gotten was from an elderly mage on their deathbed, recalling the spell from their grandfather.

And it's just one spell. Asra has the sinking feeling that all those unknown spells you pull from nowhere are just as old as that. Maybe they find something that sounds like your spell not in a grimoire but in a history book and that dread begins to grow because now it feels like confirmation. Somehow you have old magic in you. It must be the portion of the Fool that allows you to live.

Asra would try their hardest to teach you, even if it runs their hands red all over again, but gods sometimes you scare them. Unafraid, staring into the ball of wild magic that writhes in your hands, unaware of the way it makes your eyes glow with something unnatural.

Of course, they're less afraid of you possibly hurting them or being something so foreign and inhuman.

All they worry about is the fact that, despite knowing as much as they can about magic, they can't protect you from this. They still remember seeing you burn your hands from a sloppy fire spell, a simple silly little mistake that they easily knew how to manage and heal.

But what happens if you do something he doesn't know how to fix?

Half of the time his trips aren't leaving because of his heartache, his trips are him leaving in a panicked frenzy trying to figure out a way to neutralize a black hole, because you somehow seem to be growing closer and closer at being able to summon that.

And dear DEATH Asra saddling Muriel with taking care of you????

because Asra will always be afraid for you, but Muriel holds no qualms about being afraid of you. And he is afraid. He is downright terrified. He's spent enough time in the forest, enough time with the fae to know when something made of magic is dangerous, and the way your eyes light up in the shadows, the way they glow in the sunlight with something unnatural, the way the entirety of you seems to blur at the edges when you see magic that interests you, as if you were going to turn into a shapeless form of pure mana and consume the thing whole. Muriel just doesn't know what you'll do, what your body will do.

Because it's your body. Your body is strange and foreign. And even if he may have had qualms about you before he cannot deny how your awe and curiosity of the world makes his chest feel a little warm, makes him look at the world with a little more appreciation than before. Even though it prickles his spine just a little with it, knowing you're basically a monster parading around in human flesh seeing life from the human perspective for the first time, it still makes him smile a little when you see an animal, or even when you see Inanna, and you try to copy her, it still makes him feel sorry for you when an animal you're fascinated in runs away from you, picking up on the very same threats he feels.

He watches you stare down the carcass of an animal, dead from the sheer amount of mana you exude. And though you look sad, though your expression contorts into that of pity and sorrow, something glows in your eyes at the sight, a look almost akin to delight and he feels that fear return tenfold.

But over time, and with lots of research on Asra's side, and a lot of cold tolerance from Muriel, you learn to manage your powers you learn to manage your magic, and over the span of three years you develop into someone who seems upon first glance like a relatively normal albeit powerful Magic user.

......But sometimes you have your moments.

[mjart12699]

Best way I’ve thought to describe Muriel is “guy you’re friends with/dating that your parents aren’t a fan of but your grandma absolutely loves him”

[kolya-rat]

okay, hear me out. I know Solomon is a very complex character but like at the same time just going off from what I remember in SWD and NB, he doesn't really get that much at all. So I don't know what it is that made me like him all that much since my prev. track record were mostly characters with amazing character development or characters who's story arcs fucked me up so bad (Goro Akechi, Ryoji Mochizuki, Satan, Scaramouche, Qifrey, Es, Tsukishima, Mushitaro, etc.)

This was until I realized what I liked about Solomon was his angst potential. He's immortal, right? that in itself already fucks me up. But there's this game called The Arcana, and one of the characters, Asra, is literally my most beloved character of all time. He lives in my brain rent free. So why do I bring him up?

WELL, here's a pitch for y'all. Imagine Mc reincarnates each time and Solomon falls in love with each one without fail, each time. So... what if I just inserted Asra's story with The Arcana Mc as a previous reincarnation of OM Mc.

Now... I can REALLY picture this happening, even with Thirteen in the picture. Especially since during the events of The Arcana, Death or Thirteen was weakened so it would make sense why she couldn't interfere. And also would give a fun backstory to their uhm "friendship" (?) (I'm not caught up to the recent events of OM, so if I get anything wrong pls let me know.)

Just that dread that Asra's route put me through but imagine losing your partner again and again, then going through with whatever happened in Asra's route only for you to lose them again anyway because you're immortal. Sorrow. Tragedy. It's ruined me.

Caught by Surprise ❤️🌊

Continuing with the story, one night when Julian was repeating one of his outings, he was found by a young woman who had been as surprised as he was. Julian felt panic, he knew very well what the risk of being seen by human beings was and at first he desperately tried to flee from her. But the young woman showed no signs of being a danger, rather she seemed curious. A little scared at first. And Julian saw that as an opportunity to stay, discovering more of her. Her name, Cassiopea. That she was a tourist passing by because she needed some fresh air. More and more they talked and Julian saw in her something more, someone to talk to. With whom he strangely felt safe and who swore to keep the secret of him. No one would ever know what she had seen. That encounter would stay only between them.

I don't care anymore if it's May, I still wanted to tell more of this story so I'm doing it. In my mind I imagined a lot of scenes of it and I hope that with time I'll be telling more and more. Like this one!Also I'm felling more and more in love with Julian merman design 😭(Hope that I keep with this and not forget X3)

(I took the description from IG where there is all the info of this AU I created. Feel free to go there ❤️)

🪷Pastimes of The Princess | Nadia Satrinava

Nadia Satrinava × GN!Reader

an au of sorts (set in prakra , nadia is still a princess)

the devs gave us Indian princess nadia crumbs and i decided to bake the whole bread.

Hcs included : nadia can play sitar , nadia is somewhat playful (still being a princess) , nadia knows kathak .

I've been obsessed with this music so I had to write something

sort of headcanon +imagine + choose your own adventure style post , idrk I just had to dump this scenario on my blog

Would recommend listening to the linked music (or the whole playlist eheh) cuz thats what I was listening to when the idea came to me.

ended up branching the imagine creating a multiverse of sorts lol. I just had a lot of thoughs.

added a lot of music in here .... didn't intend to but what can I even do (ehehe this sparked my inspiration like crazy)

my notes can be found at the end of this post.

Imagine you are wandering a little too close to the palace grounds. Maybe you were summoned by the royal court and lost your way , or maybe it was one of your own little adventures that brought you here , whatever the reason for you to be here was, doesn't matter anymore as the hypnotic rhythm of the musical instruments grab your attention. You follow the sound in hopes of finding the source of such sweet melody.

You make way through low hanging branches and high standing bushes and end up in a secluded gazebo of the palace. There you see the court musicians and the Princess. She is ...

> playing the sitar while the musicians play the tabla.

> dancing along to the rhythm of sitar and tabla being played by the musicians.

> playing the sitar while the musicians play the tabla.

There she sits in the middle of the gazebo in all her regal form. The tabla musicians are sitting in a semi circle arrangement around her. She is dressed in a royal attire , in silks and satins , in garments so delicate that a passerby could almost mistake the wearer for a celestial being.

She is plucking the strings of the sitar in a practised motion. The tabla players are matching her rhythm. Birds and squirrels are gathered all around the gazebo , some finding a comfortable spot on the roof , others sitting on the platform and steps leading to the platform.

You are just out of sight of the princess but you can clearly see her. You decide to...

> stand by and enjoy.

> show yourself to the princess and dance along to her music.

.

.

.

.

> stand by and enjoy.

You decide to stay in your spot and enjoy the music. Its not everyday one gets to hear the Princess of Prakra play. She is completely in her element.

As the melody picks up speed , you see the spot between her eyebrows deepen. She is concentrating. You are completely entranced in the beauty of the situation.

A beautiful princess in front of you in a perfectly maintained gazebo and foliage, playing what feels like an otherworldly tune. You can't even look away from her. So much so that you don't even notice the palace guards slowly inching closer to you. They must be on their rounds. Soon you are surrounded by the guards.

As the Princess completes her piece and finally lifts her gaze to look around her , she notices the group of guards. She quickly asks for an explanation.

The guards create enough space to show you among them. She raises an eyebrow. Gesturing towards you , she asks the reason for you to be here.

"Forgive me Princess for I lost my way and followed the music I heard." You say in your defense. "As I came across this clearing where you were playing such a sweet melody , I completely forgot where I was standing."

The Princess looks at you with a smile. "I am satisfied with your explanation. Guards leave them alone." She orders and the guards immediately follow suit. She watches them leave.

Once again the Princess turns her focus towards you. "So you liked what I played?" She says. "Here come sit closer," she continues while motioning towards a cushion lying close to her ,"I don't mind an appreciative audience."

~~~

> show yourself to the princess and dance along to her music.

You couldn't resist the music. It feels like your feet have a brain of their own as they start moving along to the rhythm . The Princess is surprised to see a sudden figure appear in front of her but a smile soon forms on her lips once she realises that you are enjoying and dancing to her music.

Now the way she plays the instrument almost feels like as if she is guiding your movements. Her motions are calculated but somehow it all cumulates to form a beautiful tune.

You dance and dance and dance , she adjusts the rhythm to your movements , slowing when she feels like it would create a beautiful sequence and picking up her speed when she wants to see you move faster.

The little animals gathered around the gazebo too have their eyes fixed on you.

As the piece comes to an end , you take a moment to catch your breath while Nadia claps her hand. The little squirrels run towards you and disappear among the bushes.

Nadia then rises from her spot and walks towards you , a big smile plastered on her face.

"That was beautiful." She says looking into your eyes "You dance gracefully. I must ask you to join me for some tea and perhaps you could teach me some of your moves."

--★--

> dancing along to the rhythm of sitar and tabla being played by the musicians.

The Prakran Princess is dancing. The court musicians surround her and she is moving her feet to the music.

Her attire is perfect for her movements as it flows well when she spins and twirls. The bells on her anklets contribute to the whole melody as she thumps her feet on the ground.

The little birds are chirping while circling around her head and the squirrels shake their empty peanut shells in order to add their own contribution.

For a moment you feel that you must have ascended to heaven. The whole situation is straight out of the fairytales you were told as a kid. Maybe princesses do live a mystical life after all.

Nadia's expression catches your attention next. Her eye movements and her facial expression to the beat tell a story. A story you are very eager to learn. So you...

> watch her dance

> dance along with her

.

.

.

.

.

> watch her dance

You watch her movements carefully. She moves her hands in a way that feels like she is acting out a scene. You try to decipher the story that she wants her viewers to understand. You feel completely captivated watching her dance.

Sometime during her performance, she sees you. She stops and looks at you.

Having been caught staring , you frantically try to explain yourself. "Princess , forgive me for I lost my way and followed the music".

Nadia asks a few more questions which you answer diligently. Satisfied with your answers she continues "So you were watching me dance?"

Feeling embarrassed you quickly try to apologise. She giggles.

The day ends with the princess gaining a new friend [and possibly more in the future ;) ] .

~~~

> dance along with her

Your feet moved on their own. You start to copy her movements , moving quickly and then slowing down as she does. You try to match her movements as best as you could in hopes of being able to memorize them forever.

It feels like you are in a world of your own where only you and Nadia exists and you both move in tandom.

You don't even realize when the music stops. You just see the Princess walking up to you an impressed smile on her face.

"I saw you dancing along with the music all alone there , you could have just asked to join in," She says. "I must say , your moves were quite impressive" Nadia continues.

Then motioning towards the gazebo , she offers "Maybe you can join me for the next round. Ah! And while we're at it maybe you can teach me some moves of your own."

My notes:

I am in love with the way i wrote this 😍 the formatting and all. Might try similar styles again in the future.

(ADDED THE LAST PIECE LAST MOMENT BECAUSE THIS WAS SO PERFECT, RAVI SHANKAR THE GENIUS THAT YOU ARE RAAAAAH)

can you guys tell that I had a specific part more planned out then the others .... haha you can't right (shame.... shammmeeee)

If you read this far then do leave a comment. It makes my day. (Otherwise I'll cry (⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠˙̫̮⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠) /j)

This is probably horribly written and maybe mischaracterizes nadia for which i welcome criticism!

"phew .... finally done with an imagine , I feel like writing more today. Lets see what more we got-" *camera pans towards my comically large pile of incomplete fic drafts*

If you did listen to the linked music.... I LOVE YOU !! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! we shall have a spring wedding 😌 (/hj)

I added the songs I linked in this imagine in a playlist and named it after the post title here:
