I really shouldn’t get involved in this debate because, first, it's utterly absurd and immature, and second, it will likely earn me a few enemies and drag me into conflicts, which I despise more than anything… Yet, I can’t stay silent. My anger is boiling over because creators and writers like myself are being bullied by so-called fans with narrow-minded perspectives, forcing us to bow down to politically correct foolishness just to be able to continue our work in peace.
¡Swearwords Alert!
What the fucking, shitty, bloody heck is wrong with these people?! This is a work of fiction—a story set in a fantasy, medieval Slavic world. The rules of the modern, real world do not apply here. Why on earth is representation being demanded in a context where it makes no sense?
¡Swearwords Alert End!
For those who’ve wisely avoided this whole debacle—and I congratulate you, keep doing so in the future if possible, let me fill you in: our dear RC team, along with the author of "The Thunderstorm Saga," Alexander D., were recently pressured (and in some cases harassed) into changing the main character sprites, which originally consisted of various elven races—forest, moon, and dark elves—into human representations (Asian, Caucasian, African, Latin, etc.).
AS: I didn’t get involved in the uproar about Volot’s skin tone in "And The Haze Will Take Us" being a player choice, because frankly, it was ridiculous for a portion of the community to react negatively, as if RC’s decision was some kind of racist move. Let me remind you, we’ve had this kind of choice before, like in "Vying For Versailles" with King Louis, and no one complained. Also, if you weren’t aware, book covers are often altered in their Russian versions. A main character who is Black or Brown in the American/European editions is frequently depicted as white in the Russian versions, except in rare cases where the character’s ethnicity is central to the story, like in "Garden of Eden" or the "Kalis". This change is due to the narrow-mindedness of the Russian community, and RC makes these changes to avoid backlash from its largest player base. Perhaps the decision to change Volot's skin was made with the Russian market in mind, and they decided to keep it consistent for all players. But frankly, I don’t care, and I don’t want to know.
Now, back to the main issue:
I’ve been a writer for most of my life, and I cannot stress this enough: a writer’s vision is theirs and theirs alone. While we might choose to revise certain aspects of our stories or find new ways to tell them, the opinions of readers and fans should never dictate those decisions. We are the creators of the content you enjoy. You read our work because you appreciate our vision. If we start crafting stories the way you want, it ceases to be our vision, and the magic is lost. Instead of venturing into the unknown, the story becomes a mundane reflection of everyday life. People read books to escape reality, not to mirror it.
Frankly, I find the elven races in this story quite representative, if you ask me—certainly more so than in LOTR (And remember the backlash about the Black dwarf queen? How ironic…).
- Forest Elves One have very fair skin, which can be linked to Caucasians. The Forest Elves Two can be more compared to Mediterranean people.
- Moon Elves One & Two, with their warm, brownish skin, can be connected to Hispanic or Latin people.
- Dark Elves, as you might expect, are associated with people of African descent, with group One being darker than group Two.
Sure, not every community is represented here—where are the Asians, the Eastern Europeans, the Arabs, Indians, and Indigenous peoples? There are more than just three skin tones, after all.
But this debate is utterly ridiculous. This is a work of fiction set in a fantasy realm. These characters are elves, not humans, and they don’t need to represent human diversity. The vast majority of players enjoyed the story as it was, and do you know why? Because they chose their main character based on who they found most appealing, not because the character resembled them. Contrary to what some believe, representation isn’t always necessary in fiction. Yes, there were fewer Black and brown-skinned characters in the past due to racism and segregation, but today, in a diverse and cosmopolitan world, young writers incorporate their modern perspectives into their work, and people generally don’t complain about representation anymore. So stop making a fuss over something that was never an issue to begin with. Let writers do their work. Criticising elves for not being "human enough" is not constructive; it’s just nonsense. And if you want to argue with me over this, don’t bother. I refuse to debate anyone over a fictional world, and especially over a game.

ABH David popularity is such a weird phenomenon to me, because this entire time when I saw people posting about loving him, I was like. Sure, there are some people who like him genuinely. But as a fandom, we're just playing it up for the meme, right? Like, there is no way he's actually that popular. And now there is the favourite male LI poll going on RC reddit, and David is coming in second among all male LIs in the entire app. And I'm like, wait, y'all were serious??
#not that i dislike him but i'm not crazy about him either#he's also not the type of li that typically gets people crazy#usually it's the tsundere who's cold on the outside and mean to mc at first#and david is like. not that#i thought for sure mikael would be more popular than him for sure#but it's not even close#and SECOND on the ENTIRE APP??#what's going on here#common ellie autistm moment i guess.....#also these are not the final results but stilllllll#romance club#astrea's broken heart#rc david#bitch speaks

I don't really mind showing these since they ARE something I made and I've blocked my face pretty well, but I made a little paper mache friend with some old cardboard jewelry boxes I didn't want to waste!
I'm hoping to recycle more :) it's really nice
#recycling#newspaper#paper mache art#paper mache#recycled cardboard#recycledmaterials#recycled#photo editing#I'm not sure why but I've been editing a lot of my photos using materials and my drawing app on my phone#I guess it's just fun and better than a plain photo of one of my creations#his name is RC :)

Of the two (ABH and HSR), I prefer ABH being connected to the HS universe. I can buy angels and demons on Earth in context of HS, but I don’t get where the “infected” came from. 🤷🏼♀️
Plus tbh, the angels and demon in HSR look too young, and Lane is too young to be connected to Vicky in any way. Audrey, however, could totally be Vicky’s age if ABH takes place pre-Apocalypse, post Malbonte. 🤷🏼♀️
My theory tinglies are tingling 😂
#romance club#heaven’s secret#rc astraea’s broken heart#rc hs#rc heavens secret requiem#rc heaven’s secret#I think it’s kinda fun that they’re all connected#why not? they’re all on the same app#makes more sense to me than a bajillion different universes with the same beings#plus it’s easier (and faster) to make multiple stories in established universes

I’m really starting to question how RC’s algorithm determines romance points with Love Interests. I've noticed some strange inconsistencies, especially in the latest story, "And the Haze Will Take Us." In this story, the known LIs so far are Dragan, Ozar, and Tata.
For the record, I've been disappointed with the female LIs lately due to their lack of usefulness, so my main character is only pursuing male interests in this story. However, when I checked my profile's top matches, here's what I found: Ozar and Dragan are both at 100% right away, which might be normal, but I'm not sure yet. Not only that but Tata is completely missing from the list, even though friendship points should still show up, (like with Eve in "Chasing You 2", for example).
To make things more confusing, a random guy named "Volot" showed up with a 100% match too, even though my MC has never met him. Like, who are you, mate !? So, I thought for a moment and figured, 'maybe he was one of the priests with the skeletal cow mask'; but then, when did I romance him? Was it when I chose the diamond option to help MC breathe after the procession? That just doesn’t make sense.
So, yeah, RC , could you please explain how this wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff works again? Cause it really throws me off.
