#arcana twilight theory

[sleepytwilight]

Theory #1

Spotlight: Sirrah and Alpheratz

Remember when Spica's butler said this? Has no one thought it weird?

Sirrah is Polaris lover. The first to imprint to Polaris yet, Alpheratz was Sirrah.

Polaris was still there when Alpheratz is a kid.

You probably think, "Maybe Sirrah died first?"

Nope, Sirrah was there to watch Polaris turned into a monster. Polaris died and Sirrah is there to witness his death.

Entry I

The memories got alternated because of Sirius using the forbidden magic, time magic. It could have messed with everyone memories.

Though, there's lack of evidence because Spica said he was saved by Polaris from drowning. If the memories did got alternated and Polaris already dead at that time, who the hell saved Spica and Alpheratz.

Entry II

Alpheratz might as well died from drowning.

Though I don't support my first theory

Entry III

Sacrifice.

Sirrah death was never mentioned, he was chosen by the constellation so he can't age.

Schedar knew Summoner was Polaris... He might as well knew Sirrah and Polaris were a thing.

Storytaco did follow the Greek story *cough* Pollux *Cough* Castor. Who knows they might as well follows the old urban legend. (There was a story I once heard about a mother killed her own son to bring back her husband to life by letting her husband be in her son's body...)

Anyway... As I was saying, knowing Alpheratz personality, he did mention he don't like Polaris sacrifice thing and think sacrifice for other people are just a pain.

If Sirrah actually died after Polaris death, Schedar might had to sacrifice his own grandson so Sirrah the sorcerer of Pegasus can live again.

He makes sure Sirrah won't remember this sacrifice... Yet Alpheratz always feel hinted of disgusted when it come to Schedar.

Also to the anon who gave me Mama's boy theory, THANK YOU IT WAS SO GOOD- I'll reply to it later okay?

(Analysis?) Summoner(MC) returning to home-world

“We’ll help you return to your home world……or not?”

The ArTw boys and their views about sending Summoner back home analysis(?). It's more like a rant but here we go.

Disclaimer, i wrote this at 1 in the morning so i may have left out more things i got to say and i’ll probably add them later but have this for now-

SPOILER ALERT

·̩̩̥͙＊•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚　　˚•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚＊·̩̩̥͙

I’ll use Summoner’s canon official name here- “Lee Dam”/”Dam(i)”(first name) bc it’s convenient ✩

So as far as we've established, Lee Dam is from Mid-Eartheim or at least that’s what people around her conclude. Later in the story, they even suspect that Dami is not from another world at all.

But here, we’ll go with our main boys’ perspective.

When it comes to sending Lee Dam home, the boys seem to have separate opinions.

🐑Arcturus above all seems to be very keen and persistent in Dami returning back to her world. He’s the first one of the boys to promise her a safe return home and not only that, he’s the only one who keeps on insisting on this promise for the first few chapters of the story to the point where he’s the only sorcerer with a voice line in home screen who once again promises her to find her way back and asking her to trust him.

I, at first was like yeah Arcky being helpful lil bean like he is but is he really? That’s what I thought after progressing throughout the story. Arcky looks like one of the purest guy ever but later as we move on in main story, he seems somewhat shady. My theory is that he is hiding the fact that he knows or even better remembers something that others don’t.

Y’know the Void organization thing going on? I suspect Arcky of having something to do with The Void. But when there’s discussion of Void, he says that he’s been curious about it and has no idea what it is. Although I would like to believe him, I have this teeny tiny feeling he’s pretending OR he forgot and remembers only fragments of those memories related to Void.

In a library scene,  he clearly sighs and seems relieved after he says that info about Void is top secret.

Further on, when things are still tense and even Schedar orders that Dami should be guarded even more than before, the always over-worrying Arcky is careless and invites Dami over to grab snacks outside knowing full well he is supposed to be extra careful. And he doesn’t even sense that someone is following them at all? This seems far too careless even for someone as clumsy as Arcky.

Vega even reminds Arcky later on about this mistake and states the duo was being followed. That he should’ve consulted with others before doing anything. Vega requested for an urgent summon by Dami’s side and his voice in the call seems to be audibly restless hinting it was no small matter.

Maybe Arcky just absent-mindedly did that or maybe he didn’t.

I cannot be sure here but Arcky in my opinion seems to have a motive other than being simply helpful to Lee Dam find her way back. He’s more consistent about this matter than anyone, almost as if he thinks she needs to go back. She shouldn’t be here.

Again, i’m not sure but we’ll see how it plays out. But one thing I’m certain is that he doesn’t truly wish for Dami to get hurt or at least that’s what I like to believe. He cares for her genuinely.

♊Pollux is a confusing one for me. He seems kinda neutral on the matter. But my conclusion is that he doesn’t like the thought of Dami returning back. Despite saying “i don’t make friends easily” in their first meeting, Pollux actually is the one who initiates their friendship. Saving a seat for her, texting her lecture materials, helping her out, etc. He even grows protective of her later on and continuously suspects Sirius, his clan fellow when it comes to Dami.

But hey, nobody rlly trusts Sirius so understandable. And with this growing closeness, Pollux would rather not part with Lee Dam but i feel like if he’s told it’s for her safety & well-being, he would let her go for her good.(cue some crying and stubbornness)

🐨🐺Listen I may sound crazy but in this matter Alpheratz and Sirius are quite similar. In one side, there’s Alpheratz continuously suggesting Lee Dam to not get herself involved in all of this, and on another, we have Sirius always warning Dami to not see, respond, or hear to the entity appearing in her consciousness time and again. Although both have not clearly revealed their say on our summoner’s return to mid-eartheim, I feel that they think it’s better to leave and go back to her normal world. A world where she won’t have to worry about being targeted every 5 seconds.

Alpharetz indirectly expressing that he would rather she return to her world by always insisting Lee Dam to not tag along with the guides to their dangerous trips and his affection level going up when Dami chooses to stay behind.

Sirius closing her eyes and ears every time it feels like Dami is again in contact with the giant eye and the entity, and warning her to not come to the tower when she does. Him texting her that he prays she leaves before matters get worse.

Sirius is confusing, he involves her and initiates danger but still protects her and says he would rather like it if she isn’t included in all that chaos. BUT after reading floor 11, I have a feeling Alpheratz changed his mind a bit? It’s more like, she’s someone i’ve wished for years and years– since the previous timeline so I’m reluctant to lose her again, that’s why I’d rather give my all to keep her safe this time no matter what.

❄️Vega, oh Vega, my sweet lil snowball. I’ll say that he’s conflicted. There are many assumptions in my mind about him. It’ll be so freaking hard for him to let go of Dami, his childhood sweetheart who he waited an entire decade and more for. Will he let go of someone who he spent his lifetime waiting for? Hard to say but maybe yes. Vega is selfless and wants her to be safe above anything else.

He also says that he is sick of seeing Dami be involved with this world and its dangers that she doesn’t deserve. He might side with Alpheratz slightly. He doesn’t want to let go of her but at the same time, he would rather have her be happy than see her get hurt and lose her forever. Or even better, he leaves with her since they’re both from Mid-Eartheim. After all, Vega spent his entire lifetime awaiting one star and that's Lee Dam and only Lee Dam, no one else.

♍Have you noticed that Spica’s the only one who has never stated that he wishes Lee Dam to return and not be involved with Bound Arlyn’s crisis? Yes, some other guys haven’t either but have you noticed he’s rather opposite to wanting her to return? He advises Arcky to not keep false promises like sending her home. He’s also continuously shown to want Dami to join them when they plan to go on a field trip(visit) and actively invites her to potentially dangerous places.

He does not have any malicious intentions but instead, from what I see, I’m rather suggesting that Spica wants Dami to adapt to her new life completely and continue as a summoner. He’s always keen when it comes to discussing Lee Dam’s potential as a sorcerer and even asking her if she wants to become a constellation’s choice. Imo, Spica wants Dami to get better in her school activities and use her power for the betterment and protection of the world. HOWEVER remembering that sus lil conversation he shared with our local shady man who's trusted by no one in the banquet, i have doubts on Spica too. (basically, i doubt 3/6 of these men bc otoges have taught me better than to trust someone even if they are love interests)

To put in small words, let me categorise them-

“I want you to return back”

-Arcturus

“It’s better to go back”

-Alpheratz, Sirius, Vega(?)

“I don’t want you to but it can’t be helped”

-Pollux, Vega(?)

“Would you like to stay instead?”

-Spica

The following pics kinda summarise my thoughts(?)

·̩̩̥͙＊•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚　　˚•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚＊·̩̩̥͙

anyways thanks if you read until here, i just wrote this for fun and none of these are facts but rather my silly little venting bc the plot is just too good.

Here's a bonus: our local shady war criminal as Florida man news headlines

he would do this.

[artsyham]

I can't help but wonder what the Towers of Balbili seemingly being a reference to the Tower of Babel means in the grand scheme of the story of Arcana Twilight. Balbili seems to come from the Akkadian name for Babylon.

For those who don't know the Tower of Babel is from the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. It is a narrative meant to explain the origin of different languages.

The people of earth had a single language. People in the city of Babylon sought to create a tower that reached the heavens (I believe in an effort to show they were as great as God and no longer needed Him??). This was meant to be a symbol of their self sufficiency. The Lord seeing this, sought to prevent further construction of the tower by scrambling the tongues of those working so that they would no longer understand each other and thus scattering the populace amongst the land.

So what is the point the devs are making by naming the towers after the tower of babel?

Is it just a way to hint to us that they are unholy and "unnatural"?

What does it mean that Sirius wants to destroy them?

The constellations seem like they would fit the allegory of "God" in this scenario. And Sirius seems to be destroying the towers to go against the constellations. So is the story just reversed? Instead of man building the towers in an act of defiance, they’re being destroyed in defiance?

I have absolutely no clue.

I have been wracking my brain about this recently and still don't have any idea what this means...

[bittersweetcanary]

Artw Sirius the Monster Theory

Spoilers for floor 12!! Read at your own peril O-O lol

Floor 8 Stage 17/20 - Funny Play

Sirius not so subtly drops a theater ticket in front of the Summoner, whether or not you hand it to him he ticket or bring attention to it Sirius asks you to attend it with him.

I believe this was staged, I think he wrote the play. A hit to who he is and who the summoner was. Foretelling of the story to come on floor 12.

The Great Sorcerer is Polaris who falls in love with the Star, Sirius, who becomes a Sorcerer and Monster in his attempt to save Polaris after they made a deal with every door, their magic drained to the point of freezing over.

Sirius refuses to tell everyone his wish when Pollux remembers a fable, a tale that

In the game I read that people born of stars have eyes like rainbows, like Sirius, I think Arcturus said that. Arcturus knows a lot but it's always spoken as fables and tales children would be told.

Sirius, the Monster, sees Polaris as his hero. Craved Polaris. Refuses to let Polaris die, willing to destroy himself, and the world, to save his hero, the one he desires.

I believe Sirius looks to destroy all the towers in an attempt to break the contract Polaris made with the void that drained them of their mana, leaving Polaris vulnerable enough for the void to attempt to kill them to remove a key individual in what is keeping it from destroying the world, Boundarlyn.

In the chat locked behind keys with Sirius, the Summoner is stuck in a labyrinth controlled by an unknown Sorcerer's Familiar's spirit that acts by the will of its Sorcerer. Sirius had been following the Summoner when this happened.

Sirius begins to tell the Summoner a story, "Through the Labyrinth".

He goes on to state "It is about a hero who kills a trapped monster in a labyrinth and escapes following the thread."

The Summoner has an option to reply with "Are you the monster?"

He mentions later "What do you think the monster thought of the whole time it was trapped in the labyrinth?" "It might have tried to hide its true identity and become good friends with the hero to get out."

Ending the Chat with "Your monster is here to show you gratitude."

The call "A Guides Pick-up", I believe is related to this. Sirius mentions "Something could disguise itself as someone you know and approach you... Or trap you in a maze of terrible memories.

I think Polaris, the Hero, saved Sirius, the Star-Stuck Monster from a labyrinth of terrible memories, though that may not be so literal. It could mean Sirius was at an all-time mental low, simply putting it. Polaris found him, and took him in, someone who looked innocent and alone. But Sirius sees himself as a monster in disguise.

Sirius tells the Summoner not to trust himself, or the others quite frequently.

The Monster grew to love the Hero, wanting all of their attention and love. To the point the Monster would destroy everything just to keep his beloved alive, even himself. Sirius, the Monster couldn't accept that someone so lovely, the Hero Polaris, would love someone so dark.

The Monster both wanted and desired the Hero but could never let himself truly be theirs as he doesn't believe he is worthy? Even when the Hero reciprocated those feelings he couldn't allow himself to trust or be trusted,

I think Sirius wanted the Summoner to remember, to know, to say something but sadly for him the Summoner isn't Polaris anymore...

Also, at the end of the call that is related to the labyrinth, Sirius asks where the Summoner is and then says "This Sirius will meet you there". It seems he is insinuating that there are others, of himself. Do others hide as Sirius or does he fear the Dark Sorcerers may use his or the other's image to take the Summoner away? For example, Castor. Though I haven't read anything that would suggest he has masqueraded as Pollux that could happen. As we learn later in the story it seems Castor thinks he and the Summoner have some sort of relationship that Pollux is in getting in-between, has he hidden at Pollux before? Did he do something with the Summoner as Pollux? Maybe.

uhh arcana twilight inktober day 7: Void

also guys... this is from floor 5... do ya'll think that Arcturus was actually helping out the Void more than we thought or am I crazy 😭I can't tell if this is confirmed but my personal theory is that the void cult specifically poisoned arcturus at the banquet to put him under their influnce, and he'd then help them operate and report info about mc so that they could plan accordingly, also hence his random headaches (they never elaborate on this line again so there's really no other implication... which is crazy)

[ithseem]

Alan Mido and Jin Kamurai with Fem! Reader who act like Vega from Arcana Twilight.

How would Alan Mido and Jin Kamurai act with a Vega!Reader

Jin

Let's be real, your personalities are gonna clash at first. You're the most reserved and cautious person within a five kilometer radius of yourself and Jin is arrogant and commanding as hell. His bluntness and brashness would challenge your methodical way of interacting

Though that's not to say he doesn't appreciate you for it. He'll grow to respect your structured way of going about life, and you could grow to appreciate his unfiltered honesty

Through your time together, you'll come to realize that you have a lot more in common than you realize. You both carry burdens and traumas that you'll need help to express.

Either you'll talk about it on your own first, or Tohma would be a middleman for the two of you.

Your own feelings of displacement and loneliness would resonate with Jin’s own struggles with his family and responsibilities. You'd find solace in knowing you have each other's backs in this regard.

And let's not forget how protective the two of you are. Jin’s natural tendency to protect those he cares about would mesh well with your own nurturing and considerate side. Jin might be vocal and assertive in his protectiveness, while you would demonstrate it through subtle, thoughtful actions. In the case of any tangible danger, or in the case where either of your mental health threatens to overwhelm you, trust that you will be there for each other. You would likely engage in a quiet competition of ensuring the other is safe and cared for, creating a relationship full of mutual acts of service

Jin might surprise you with grand, dramatic gestures, while you would reciprocate with thoughtful, understated acts of care. He'd spoil you with lavish meals, so that's something you'll need to get used to.

You would share quiet moments of connection, such as watching the stars or discussing philosophical ideas, allowing your bond to deepen beyond words.

Alan

In this scenario, you'll have to make the first move. Even if you are similar to each other in that your both emotionally inexpressive and cautious when opening up to others, though for different reasons. You'll need some time together to really get to appreciate each other's quirks but it would also lay the groundwork for a strong, trust-based connection as they gradually lower your walls.

Alan's stoic determination, inner strength, and unshakable loyalty is what drew you to him in the first place,

Alan would respect your meticulous nature, work ethic, and sense of responsibility

You would see each other as equals, sharing an unspoken understanding of the burdens you carry.

Neither of you are likely to be overtly expressive, so you'd show affection in subtle, meaningful actions—Alan might silently protect you in dangerous situations, while you would offer thoughtful care, like ensuring Alan is well-rested or patched up after a fight. And in the case Alan is in physical danger, you'd step in to protect him as well.

Your steady, composed nature could serve as a calming influence on Alan, helping him process his anger and past traumas. Conversely, Alan’s quiet strength and protective tendencies would provide you with a sense of safety and belonging.

As for activities, your love for calm, structured tasks, like tending to a greenhouse or studying magical theory, would balance Alan’s more action-oriented lifestyle.

Alan might join you in quiet activities, finding unexpected peace in them. And, you would join Alan in physical training also.

Conflicts would arise from Alan’s brashness and your adherence to rules or routines. However, you're both logical and mature, so you'd resolve issues calmly after some reflection, with Alan apologizing through actions rather than words.

Alan isn’t one for grand gestures, but his care would show through acts of service, like silently fixing something you use or standing guard when you're deeply focused on a task.

He’d occasionally surprise you with moments of tenderness, such as placing his jacket over your shoulders or offering comforting words when he senses your hidden vulnerabilities.

You would prepare something nice for him, like a meal, after a long day. Or stand by him by his side during moments of doubt.

You would help Alan find moments of calm and self-reflection, while Alan would encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace spontaneity.

Idk, I get how people interpreted this as Spica talking to us but I immediately knew he was talking to Sirius

I find it funny, but I can understand how people might've mistakened it as that lol

Spoilers for floor 13 ‼️

What Spica said was directed at Sirius because of this

|

V

Anyway, this was just some nonsensical babbling, I'm not making fun of you guys ;; you all worried me though, almost had me thinking that Spica may have said that to us.. But Sirius is the antagonist - unless... Like someone's theory, we could've been a traitor too??

I don't think I could take a plot twist like that though.

I haven't finished floor thirteen just yet, but I wanna talk about this scene for some reason.

On another note, them stating that it's the last story for the sorcerers.. Either things go well, and we move onto season two of Arcana Twilight or...

The worst of the worst might come true ☹️

I DON'T WANT IT TO BE THE LAST FLOOR. PLEASE, CONTINUE THE STORY, THIS CAN'T BE IT, RIGHT?? I'm gonna throw up and cry if that's the case.

SPOILERS FOR LESSON 9

Now then, when castor says, "Be afraid of the sorcerer who knows nothing", I feel like he is talking about arcturus, because

Spica points out how something that should have been common knowledge was not known by Arcturus, Poll was there who didn't know either, that should have worked fine enough for exposition and lore explaination

Vega thinks Arcky has had his memories tampered with, as he can only remember young Vega, that explains why he thinks it's his fault Vega is still stuck here too, if he had remembered Summoner he would know it wasn't his fault

Very oddly his first thoughts were that Summoner's memories had been tampered with after they wake up, but he also says that they might be covering up for someone? Man was play 4D chess in 4 seconds, seems a bit odd how the character most suspected for a memory loss is also the one to point it out huh, at least to me

So what do you guys think?

[mamaito]

Sirius threatening Vega.

To be fair, Sirius is no doubt in love with you first as the timeline itself indicates that you've been around before you were even born as Vega's childhood friend.

Artw Season 2 AU Concepts

(Arcana Twilight belongs to StoryTaco)

These are some of my ideas for an Artw Season 2 AU. Some of it may differ from the original story for the individual characters and plot points using what I know about the current in-game lore and theories on what could be. Please leave any suggestions or ideas in the comments or DM me. 

MC Summoners (3)

Three Characters will represent the Summoner in the story and have their own alternate stories that will include Diaries related to the Main 3 of the Artw Cast chosen for that Summoner. I want to write for three different Summoners to give the reader a more personal pov if they, hopefully, relate to the character they share the same gender as, or otherwise. No one necessarily will need or have to read one over the other because of their gender, I just want to write it this way. None of the Summoners will be confirmed as cisgender or trans in writing to make it more inclusive, any of them can be read by either or.

One Non-binary person [they/them] with [Spica, Pollux, Sirius] The Summoner, [Y/N], Clever & Anxious

Their Learned Protective Measure: Somehow manages to talk themself out of bad situations

Favorite Food: Pecan Pie (totally important info)

One Man [he/him] with [Alpheratz, Pollux, Arcturus] The Summoner, [Y/N], Curious & Oblivious

His Learned Protective Measure: Summons Alpheratz or Arcturus, Pollux is running away with him

Favorite Food: Chocolate chip cookies

One Woman [she/her] [Sirius, Spica, Vega] The Summoner, [Y/N], Assertive & Cautious 

Her Learned Protective Measure: Learns to play Pable with Vega and proceeds to beat the shit out of predatory individuals

Favorite Food: Anything with or just blueberries

Relevant Diaries: [A Ardent Sunset Wish]

 

The Little Polar Bear, Ursa Minor [Urmi] [it/its] is A funny lil stand-in for short funny little stories on the side or to narrate for kicks.

They’ll each focus on three of the Sorcerers respectively, so each gets some romance scenes. However, they each have a select three of the Sorcerers for romance scenes or anything generally romantic that doesn’t entirely exclude the rest. The others will have smaller roles in personal “Diary” stories and/or generally in the story.

Side Dynamics between the Artw Cast

Sirius casually flirts with Vega, no one can tell if he is teasing or flirting.

Alpheratz and Spica are bickering like the other married couple they may as well be as usual, especially around the Summoner as if they are competing. It’s like they are trying to make one another jealous rather than become closer to the Summoner sometimes…

Arcturus and Pollux are besties of course!! Always trying to include Vega… It doesn’t work.

Vega cold shoulders everyone except the Summoner- he’s about to take out his sword if Sirius gets any closer- oh no!

Scenarios After Floor 13, Entering Season 2 Floor 1 (1-1)

What happens after the Summoner is ushered to the rift…

Enby [Y/N] Chooses to stay despite the Artw Cast pushing them to leave, instead attempting to defend, heal, and assist them with Magic and Stratigizing.

Ideas/Possibilities:

Once they turn back to the Artw Cast the rift to MidEarthium closes, and Sirius is immediately pissed at them for their decision, his raised voice alerting the others to the Summoner.

None of them are particularly happy with the Summoner for this as they’d wanted the Summoner to safely return home rather than risk themself against the Monsters and Void Sorcerers aiming to kill the Summoner.

The Summoner couldn’t bring themself to leave the others behind nor did they want to return to MidEarthium because that world hold bad memories they run from.

This Summoner’s Story will be dark at times but eventually become more lighthearted as I’m aiming to give each of them a happy ending.

Man [Y/N] Frightened as ever, he exits through the rift only to quickly regret leaving the Artw Cast to fend for themselves against the monsters/void sorcerers. 

Ideas/Possibilities:

Since we are focusing on the story including the Artw cast we’ll have a time skip from this Summoner entering the rift to when he gets a chance to enter a new “rift” made by Alpheratz many years later.

This Summoner will return to Bound Arlyn with Alpheratz, neither seeming to have aged a day due to their constellation contracts extending their lives.

When they reunite, Alpheratz and the Summoner embrace, crying tears of joy after recognizing one another. Alpheratz, with the Summoner in his arms, falls back onto a grassy field only a few feet from the artificial “rift”. They later meet up with the rest of the Guide Committee, some looking worse for wear but alright in the end. 

This Summoner’s Story will be lighthearted after the initial prolog.

Woman [Y/N] Refuses to leave, instead attempting to assist them by defending and protecting the Artw Cast with their Pable skills and Defensive Magic.

Ideas/Possibilities:

Once they turn back to the Artw Cast the rift to MidEarthium closes, and Sirius is immediately pissed at her for making such a decision, his raised voice alerting the others to the Summoner.

None of them are particularly happy with the Summoner for this as they’d wanted the Summoner to safely return home rather than risk herself against the Monsters and Void Sorcerers aiming to kill the Summoner.

The Summoner swears she can help as she quickly moves to unsheath her Pable Sword and takes an offensive stance, preparing to face the Void Sorcerers/Monsters with the Guide Committee. The Artw Cast begrudgingly accept this because they don’t have much of a choice at this point, they instead work together to keep one another safe.

This Summoner’s Story will show her struggle and triumph over the Void Sorcerers with the Guide Committee.

My brain decided that this was more important than sleep. DW tho I slept eventually. LMAO
