We want to answer your questions ✨ about the Arcana and about Dorian! So ask us anything - we’ll answer on August 11th at @arcanacononline 🔮

[thecraftymagician]

Hi there! Arcana brainrot has had me in a chokehold recently, so I wanted to ask: How do you think the m6 would react to the reader's family being racist and/or misogynistic? I've been getting into conflict with my parents on stuff like that a lot recently (especially the misogyny bc even tho I'm a guy, I'm trans, so comments like that are directed towards me a lot) and the idea of my blorbos putting them in their place makes me happy. I completely understand if your not comfortable with it tho

First off, I am so sorry you're going through this. The society we live in right now is utter insanity and it's extremely unfair especially when those who are meant to love and care for us most not only refuse but do the exact opposite. Sincerely, I just want to talk to them at a waffle house. I.. just wanna talk. I completely understand what you're going through and I am here for you, Anon!!! (This is one of those ones where there is bleed-through. All of the M6 have trouble understanding how your family can be so different from you and desperately want to take care of you. I just worded it a bit differently for each and may have left that out a bit for a few, but I assure you it is a given. Your comfort characters love you very much and want what's best for you!!)

Warnings & Clarifications: For everyone's safety, comfort, and wellbeing I will not be going into the specifics of the topics mentioned. At most there will be hints of what may have been said by Reader's family and/or friends. TW: Implied R*cism, Implied H*m*phobia, Implied M*sogyny, Implied B*gotry, Implied etc.

M6 w/ Apprentice's Hateful Family:

Asra 💜

(Directed at them by the family)

They freeze and there's a brief silence before their eyes narrow as they ask for clarification. Did they.. really just say that?

Depending on the response they may have the patience to attempt to put the family in their place with respect for you but they have no qualms about just grabbing your hand and walking away.

They're confused and hurt but know that it's not your fault in the slightest. They are their own people and adults at that who unfortunately made awful choices outside of having you as a child. Even so, how far the golden apple fell from such a rotten tree is astonishing in the best possible way and they are truly grateful.

They will try not to let it get to them but will still confide in you with reassurance that it's not your fault and they don't see you any differently.

(Directed at reader by the family)

Instantly their hand is holding yours firmly, jaw clenched and eyes narrowed.

Through gritted teeth they let the family know that it is time they leave. Any protest from them is met with a glow of purple irises as Asra readies a spell, though they're not sure exactly what.

As soon as they're able, they get you as far away from your family as they can and somewhere comfortable. Immediately they check in on you and get anything you might need, even if it's just a big long hug.

They can't begin to imagine what it was like living in the household but they know it was difficult for you and they want to be there for you as much as possible.

Nadia 💖

(Directed at her by the family)

Her shock lasts milliseconds before morphing into her signature scowl. "I beg your pardon." It is not a question or a suggestion.

If they have the gaul to continue, she allows herself to interrupt and cut them off. In no uncertain terms she all but tells them to go to hell in a hand-basket in the most eloquent way that one may even look forward to the journey.

She will attempt to continue the meeting for your sake but if they refuse to play nice or have made you uncomfortable they are asked to take their leave, even if it's not at the palace. Surely the display in public would send them off, tails between their legs.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time she's dealt with something like this and she suspects it will be far from the last. It doesn't affect her as much as it used to, the worst of it being from your family and them embarrassing you in the process. She will also confide in you but make sure you do not worry about her as you are her main concern.

(Directed at reader by the family)

The air shifts instantly with palpable tension. For a brief moment, Nadia composes herself to address you directly, placing a tender kiss on your hand. "My dear, would you mind if I spoke to your.. family.. alone?"

Once she's certain you are safe and out of the room, the doors are shut. Her glare is enough to turn them to stone where they stand as she rips into them. Her words are far from pretty but she couldn't care less.

She makes it well known your place in her life and how she would spare nothing to keep you safe and happy.. even if that be exile, among other things.

After their departure, she finds you immediately and does whatever you require whether that's a hug, a good cry in her arms, talking, or ignoring the whole thing for now. She reassures you of your safety and makes sure you smile once more.

Julian 🖤

(Directed at him by the family)

It takes a moment for what they said to hit him. He blinks owlishly at them as he tries to wrap his mind around it and the complete contrast to you. He might ask for clarification out of.. respect.

When they continue his shock turns to a stern, calm anger. "..I see." He enlightens them with the fact that he owes them nothing nor anyone else for that matter, something you taught him. If they have a problem, that is awful for them plain and simple.

If they continue he will excuse you both curtly before escorting you away from them. He's still calm but silent. He's hurt because it's your family but what he said is true. What you and his own friends/family think of him matters more than anything else.

Even so he may need some reassurance. He might know all of that but he still struggles with his insecurities. He wants to make sure he did right by you in case you want your family in your life still.

(Directed at reader by the family)

His eyes narrow as he pulls you behind him, putting himself between you and your family. With his jaw clenched, his words flow with venom and purpose.

He's not above berating anyone no matter the time or place for hurting you but he'd rather not have a physical fight with them if he doesn't have to.

As soon as he's finished lashing out at them he turns on his heel and guides you away, holding you in his coat so they don't see you and vice versa.

As soon as you are somewhere safe, he frets over you and makes sure you are okay. He will try to distract you first to take your mind off it unless you want to talk immediately. If there is anything he can do for you, it will be done.

Muriel 💚

(Directed at him by the family)

While he's been used to harsh words, it is different for him coming from your family. He knows that you don't reflect their words and vice versa in the moment. Even so, he doesn't feel the need to respond with words.

Instead his initial shock melts into an intense glare, allowing the heavy silence.. and his intimidating presence.. to do the work for him. Needless to say, they do not continue.

In any case, they've said enough so he gently takes your hand and walks away from them. He will remain silent for a while before he feels comfortable saying anything.

It's weird that you could be so different from them but he's very glad of it. In another aspect, you make him feel safe, secure and loved. He couldn't be more grateful, even if he has trouble showing that sometimes.

(Directed at you by the family)

He has already taken a few steps forward into their space before they finish their sentence, eyes boring down into them. With all his rage, he can only think of one thing to say. "Leave."

They likely do as he says without a second thought. Scaring people off isn't something he's too keen on now but it needed to be done for your sake.

He'll collect himself as quickly as he can so he's able to tend to you, taking you elsewhere if needed.

It might be difficult for him to articulate the care he wants to convey to you, his bear hugs say plenty.

Portia 🧡

(Directed at her by the family)

She physically takes a step back at first before she squares her shoulders and looks them dead in the eye, letting them have it. Unfortunately, she knows a thing or two about belittling and bullying but lucky for her they aren't Nadia's guests. Even if they were she knows there's no way she'd get into any trouble for her actions.

She's not afraid to walk closer into their space and point/poke at them as she verbally lays into them. Her language is a bit less colorful than her brother's but she's not going to play nice unless she has to. They've certainly lost her respect currently and are undeserving of it.

If they try to continue she will talk over them, continuing to roast them until she's finished. She'll tell them off one last time with a huff before taking your hand in hers and leaving them.

She might vent about it more but she knows it's not your fault and makes sure you don't worry about it. They're their own people and they just so happen to suck but clearly, that has nothing on you.

(Directed at you by the family)

Before they can finish their sentence, she's cut them off, marching forward to get in their face. She readies a punch but stops herself short.

She's not afraid to throw one or hurt them but she is afraid of hurting you further. Even though their flinch was satisfying, she takes in a breath before taking a step back. "You're not even worth it."

Returning to you, she wraps an arm around your shoulder protectively before turning to them over her shoulder to tell them how awful they are in comparison to you. It's shameful of them.

She takes you to a safe space all the while asking if you're alright and if there's anything she can do right now to help. She feels guilty about being so intense but she just can't stand anyone speaking to or about you that way, especially those who should love you.

Lucio 💝

(Directed at him by the family)

His first instinct is to scoff at them. Clearly, they don't know him or anything about him to have that kind of blatant audacity.

He quickly lets them know as such, insulting them verbally each time they attempt to cut him off. All the while he takes slow deliberate steps toward them, putting himself between you.

The rant is ended with the fact that even if they had the decency to apologize he couldn't bring himself to accept it. They should, however, apologize to you because a slight on his honor is a slight on yours but he's sure they've already said enough.

He escorts you away, having said his peace, and takes you somewhere with a nicer atmosphere. Sure he is a bit hurt that your family could say such things but he himself knows a thing or two about rough families. He knows you don't think that way and that's all that really matters to him.

(Directed at you by the family)

"Excuse me?" before they can respond he has closed the difference between them, hand on the hilt of his sword.

When he speaks, his voice is barely above a whisper but judging by their faces.. it wasn't the most pleasant. They back away from each other and his eyes pierce through them as he grins.

When he makes his way back to you, his gaze softens as he guides you away to safety. He holds your hand, explaining later that he was fighting every urge to not turn back around and start a fight to defend you. But.. if you did want that later, he absolutely would.

As much as he's still livid, he's able to put it aside, for now, to take care of you. Anything you need, anything he can do for you; name it and it is yours.

It’s the husbands birthday 💚🌲🐺

I can’t believe I live in a time now where I am not constantly updating the arcana app to see if they updated his route. I’m telling you when it would update I would run around my room, excited before jumping into my bed to read the new chapter. Carefully trying to pick the right answers so I would get his good ending. UGH memories 🤧

(Anyways! I do have a smut one shot planned for him but idk when I’ll write it up and post 😞)

[blackered]

Happy holidays everyone!

So, I wanted to do something for today but found out I really couldn't bother to pretend I live in the northern hemisphere and have seen snow once in my life.

What I decided was: let's draw the main 6 celebrating Xmas the way we do down here: it's hot as fuck so we don't wear ugly sweaters, at max a Santa hat. Our food is quite different and we like to mix tropical fruits everywhere, just don't put raisins in your rice EVER. There's always someone dressed as Santa (in this case Lucio), and lots of Guaraná Antártica.

All in all, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a happy new year in advance. Much love to you all❤️❤️❤️

Introducing my (forever) wife! 🥰

F! Muriel for poor soul that made me thinking of Muriel's birthday livestream long time ago 😢🥺

[digital-darling-arcana]

🪞A price paid🪞

Alright! So, I had originally planned to post this with my contest entry for @thearcanagame’s Modern Arcana contest a while back but I didn’t have the motivation to finish it with only a day to do so.

SO I’M POSTING IT NOW!

Anyways! If y’all read Titania’s modern AU description I’ll save the summary(it’s posted below if curious) but this is the aftermath and Titania’s recovery after their injury.

In this they are dealing with the consequences of their choices, pushing their friendship away in favour of a career that now they can’t continue.

Reality hits hard as they realised they face recovery alone.

And that’s basically it! But I do have some notes on one of the polaroids! So with “group project” I HC that Titania and Muriel are similar ages so ended up in the same year together and they were assigned a group project.

Titania said they can’t do it at their place but luckily Asra stepped in and offered his (despite not doing the project with them and not being in the same class)

Also hc pt2 I like thinking Muriel stayed with Asra’s family, maybe not full time but stays over a lot!

Bonus

Hey @thearcanagame ik your ask box isn't open but is there some way for us to at least know what Muriel's parents looked like

This is definitely not for fanart/fanfic purposes. Definitely not.

To the team behind @thearcanagame ,

I love your game, I have for several years now. I spent days collecting keys and coins to complete each story and unlock each ending. I watched as these characters grew and changed and bettered themselves (at least in the upright endings) and yet, after all of that, each new story that is released has the characters back at square one, without any of the growth I shared in.

Are there any future plans to have stories that feature post game content?

I want to see the Asra who learned to be open with others, to not hide behind half truths and to share their real thoughts and feelings. I want to see the Portia who found her strength and courage, the Nadia who discovered she is not alone and that she has so many who love her and want to see her succeed. I want to see the Lucio who finally took accountability and felt remorse and even offered his own version of an apology while proving he is fiercely loyal to those he truly cares for. I want to see the Julian who realized that it's okay to be vulnerable and that he's worthy of love and affection. I want to see the Muriel who discovered his history, who learned that it's okay to defend those you love, who realized his worth and found his self-confidence and his voice and showed that he is strong in heart and mind, not just body.

I am so saddened that in each story that is released, the characters are just as they were before their routes; Muriel is still in his hut, in chains and rags, and doesn't have any of the confidence he found in his route. Lucio still has his red eyes and doesn't have any of the humility or morality he found in his route, still very much the nightmarish Count, still living with Nadia (which also doesn't make sense)...and so on.

It's disappointing and heartbreaking: I and so many others spent a lot of time, in game resources, and actual money to see these characters grow and fall in love and yet none of the new content reflects any of that growth. It just feels like I wasted time, that my reward for everything was the endings only and the stories coming out are more a lure for new players who haven't finished everything.

So please, in the future, consider those of us who watched all these characters grow, who became attached and invested and fell for them just as much as they fell for our Apprentices.
