#asra birthday

[rosecolorednerd]

Finally new art and not a repost lol (tho there will be more reposts in the future bc they’re from my Instagram)

Anyways I recently got back into playing The Arcana and I just really like Asra they are such an interesting character and Faust how could you not love her she’s so cute so this is a birthday drawing for them and for me because I like drawing them.

(I also know there’s controversy around some of the creators I’m aware I just really missed this game bc I used to play it back in middle school)

I lowkey regret using the free keys during Asra's birthday event to continue the story so far from where I stopped before his Birthday started. Now it feels like i've rushed through the story and there is so many tiny details not just about Asra but the entire story itself to unpack and think about. Good thing I recorded the gameplay! It really would have been better if I went through it slow and steadily . . .

WHY DID NO ONE STOP ME ??😭

The Arcana HCs: Asra and Faust's Birthday

~ it's June 13, so here's how MC might celebrate Asra and Faust's birthday with them. Enjoy! - brainrot ~

You let them sleep in until they're ready to get up

You, on the other hand, sneak out early to collect supplies. For what, some might ask? Well, he's not the only one good at keeping secrets ~

Faust is happy to accompany you while her master snoozes, especially as you promised her unlimited chin scritches and she is determined to get as much out of that as she can

You want them to enjoy a slow morning, so you leave any plans for the afternoon and work on breakfast while the golden morning sun lights up the kitchen

Faust keeps watch so you can focus, and you know Asra's opening his eyes when you hear her excited little voice shouting Awake! Awake! into your mind

This is your cue to climb back in bed to snuggle with them. Breakfast can wait ...

When he is ready to get up, you'll be able to bring him breakfast. One of your errands involved swinging by Selasi's stall, and the lovely baker has given you samples of all his test recipes because he knows how much Asra adores new and unusual things

Selasi also helped you fashion a mini paper party hat for Faust

Now the three of you are piled on the overstuffed, rumpled bed, eating and giggling and watching Faust pose with her hat

You also have to keep coming up with excuses for why Asra isn't allowed to look around certain parts of the shop - pieces of your surprise are stashed in several different corners

"MC -" they're giggling at the edge of the bed, only pretending to struggle against where you have your hands pressed over their eyes to keep them from getting up or peeking. "Tell me what it is!"

Never tell! Faust is wriggling along his shoulders in her own intimidation game, trying her best not to be dislodged by Asra's happy laughter. Friend surprise!

"A surprise, hm?" They get suspiciously still. "How about this?" And the cushion they swing at you is the start of a pillow fight that turns the whole bedroom into a mess

You're trying to figure out how to keep things hidden while cleaning up at the same time when you hear a knock at the door

Right on cue, Aisha and Salim are standing in your shop with beaming smiles on their faces. You bundle Asra out the door to spend lunch with them and spend the next hour or so tidying and closing up

The next stage of your surprise begins when Muriel arrives at your doorstep to help you carry several things up to the palace. Most of what you bring gets whisked away to the gardens under Nadia's watchful eye, and Portia takes the last few bundles with a wink

You stick around for a few hours, helping to set up the majority of the more magical items and finalizing the evening plans. As it nears tea time, you collect a new bundle from Nadia and set off for Aisha and Salim's house

So far things seem to be progressing even more smoothly than you expected. Asra opens the door for you, confused because their parents told them to wait here for you while they went to "run some errands"

"MC?" He eyes the bundle under your arm curiously, a bemused smile on his face. "Is it time for the next part of your mysterious plan?"

"Not yet." You drag them to the couch and pull them down next to you. "Now we take a nap."

He's not arguing with that. You doze with him, knowing that the coming night is going to be longer than he can guess. You shake him gently awake as the sun begins to set, brewing him a quick cup of tea before you hand him the first bundle

"I can open this now?" They smile teasingly and purposefully fumble with the wrappings

Inside is a lovely new set of clothes, Nadia's gift. They're styled and tailored perfectly enough to be suitable for any party, and yet as durable and practical as the best traveling gear

It's twilight when you walk across the palace bridge hand in hand. You can hear and smell the festivities wafting from the palace gardens, and even better is the thrill of curiosity and excitement in Asra's fingertips when he squeezes your hand

They're prepared to be dazzled by whatever delights you and Nadia have clearly conspired to create, but they don't expect the number of people present when the two of you enter the grounds

All of them people he knows, all of them people he's friends with, but so many he assumed he didn't mean anything to. He was expecting to see under ten people, but this number is easily over thirty

They can't remember a time when they were considered a part of a community. For as long as they can remember, they've been a wanderer who found home with the two people they felt most connected to, with no permanent place or support system

This is different. Seeing all these recognizable Vesuvian faces in one place is the proof that there is a community around him, and that this community has a spot for them in it

The evening is magical. There's all kinds of food laid out with puzzles to solve to unlock different dishes, there's floating magical bubbles which play out different comical scenes in whorls of colorful light when they're popped, and there's a game of riddles that lead him on the silliest scavenger hunt Vesuvia's ever seen

Eventually it becomes late enough that even the night owls are beginning to get tired. Muriel disappears briefly and returns with two traveling packs, which he trades with you wordlessly for the shop key

Asra watches in delighted confusion. "MC, there's more? Where are you taking me?"

"Where do you think?" You bid everyone your goodbyes together, Aisha and Salim adding their own mysterious "see you soon"s, and then you're taking their hand and walking through the silvery moonlit fields to meet with a familiar beast

A very sleepy Faust curls herself up under Asra's shirt as the two of you take off. His head turns so he can speak in your ear over the rush of the wind

"We're going to Nopal?"

"Nopal first," you murmur back, "and Zadith after. Your parents say they want to show us where they learned alchemy - and where you got your name from. We'll meet them on the coast in a few day's time."

You won't always be able to plan elaborate garden parties or a month away from the shop for Asra's birthday. But for the dimples that keep appearing and the contented love and joy in their eyes? You'll do it as often as you can

I've fallen back into the hole that is The Arcana so here's some lazy art of my apprentice pre-revival or whatever

[fox-daddy]

Incorrect tea quote because I can;

Julian: which one of you were going to tell me tea tastes differently if you put it in hot water?

Nadia: you’re putting it in cold water?

Portia: awnser the question, Julian!

Julian: Yeah, I thought for like since I've knowen Asra, that people put it in hot water to speed up the 'tea-fication' process, didn't realize their was an actual reason

Portia: you don't have the patients to microwave water for three minutes?

Nadia: why are you putting it in the microwave to boil it?

Portia: do you think I have the patients to boil water on a stove?!

Nadia: it takes less than a minute!!!

Portia: Is your stovetop powered by the fucking sun?!?

Nadia: how long does it take you to boil water on the stove?!?!

Portia: like seven minutes!!!

Nadia: just stick the mug ontop of the stove on medium heat and it boils in like two minutes. Less than that when you use a saucepan

Portia: you putting the whole mug on the stove?!? On medium heat?!? Your stove is enchanted

Mc: already zoning out*

Asra: DO NONE OF YOU OWN A FUCKING KETTLE?!?!?!

[lunelicmoone]

thinking about asra and the magic compass he has rn

[iridescent-solstice]

@thearcanagame as grateful as I am for the infinite keys cause of Asra's b-day . . . im afraid I am in dire need of coins instead lmaooo. What will I do with keys if I can't continue the story cause of choices that requires coins? ૮꒰ ˃̣̣̥ △ ˂̣̣̥ ꒱ა (why is this pic so big, tumblr make it smaller pls istg)🔽

Happy birthday Asra

Good Signs

(Part of my working my way through the Tarot, starting with one of my favorite cards the fool. Also was a part of Vesuviaweekly's prompt "Found Family Time". This is a repost after the sudden deletion of my old blog.)

Rating: PG

Pairing: Asra/Robin (Apprentice, He/Him)

Word count: 421

Song Inspiration: Snow Maybe Falling by the Sweeplings

Notes: This was inspired by winter in Venice where it can snow in January (rarely). Also, Robin and I, the author, share a birthday and I originally posted this on my birthday before my blog went poof.

...

“Happy Birthday!”

              Robin should have known. He had known that Lark and Sparrow were up to something, his big brother senses had been tingling. Even Asra had been just a bit more secretive as of late. Now looking around at the room filled with colorful decorations, a cake, and all his family and friends, Robin knew he should have trusted his intuition. He sighed deeply looking at his siblings. 

              “Now we know you don’t like a big fuss for your birthday,” Lark said, holding up his hands already in defense, “but after last year and all the craziness, we figured it only fair we celebrate you making it through another year bro.”

              “And you can’t be upset with all these people here,” Sparrow continued, giving her brother a smile, “when everyone heard it was your birthday everyone wanted to come and celebrate you! Your favorite bread maker even made you your favorite apple spice cake!”

              Robin again sighed as he turned his eyes to Asra. “Et tu, Asra?”

              Asra smiled in a knowing way as he placed a golden paper crown on Robin’s head. “I agree with the two little birds. You deserve to be celebrated- “He leaned up and kissed Robin’s cheek. “-Just a little.”

              Robin felt a smile pull on his lips as he looked around the room at all the cheery faces of the people he cared about. Maybe a little fuss couldn’t hurt. “Pass me a piece of cake,” he said with a little laugh.”

              And so, the night went, with stories and laughter. It was strange as Robin hadn’t realized how big their little family had gotten until now. With Asra by his side Robin looked out at all the people there and he felt a feeling of warmth well up within him. The past year had been a bit crazy but given how it had turned out, Robin wasn’t complaining. It was then Lark’s voice spoke over the crowd:

              “Is it snowing?”

              Everyone shifted out onto the veranda and looked up. It was indeed snowing, not a lot, but there was indeed small flakes drifting down. The flurries drifted on the wind like fairies, dancing in the darkness of the winter night. One little flake drifted down and onto Robin’s nose as he gazed upwards.

              “A rare sign indeed,” Asra remarked softly, smiling as he linked his hand with Robin’s, “and on your birthday no less. I wonder what it could mean.”

              Robin smiled. “I think it means that we are going to be okay.”

Faust : “….”
