How It All Went Wrong

Inspired by the “Who Broke It” meme from Parks and Recreation.

This week I’ve decided to do a reader insert fic! I was originally planning to do a special Incorrect Quotes post, but I ran out of time to even start editing it together. I’ll probably do what I planned eventually, but to meet the deadline I switched over to a mini-fic.

(I’m still figuring out how to format my mini-fic/creative writing posts so please forgive the inconsistencies.)

Summary:

It’s the start of a new day and the familiars have all gathered in the Palace to play and run around the mostly empty halls while you and the M6 share drinks and relax on the Veranda. Unfortunately, while they were romping about and having fun, you discovered one of the familiars broke a very expensive vase Nadia was planning to auction off for charity…

“So. Who broke it?”

The pack of animals in front of you all exchanged guilty glances. You’d caught them running through the halls in a panic, a mess of feathers and fur as they frantically tried to get your attention; and they had led you back to the scattered shards of what once was a very expensive, very delicate vase. Nadia had planned to auction it off, raising money to instate a proper orphanage; she wasn’t going to be happy about this. You sighed and crouched down, so you weren’t towering over the frenzied herd. “I’m not mad.” You said soothingly, reaching your hand out. Pepi was the first to rush forward, pressing into your hand with an apologetic purr. “I just want to know.”

They were all quiet for a long, long moment before your own familiar tentatively broke the silence. “I did it,” They said, but you knew it wasn’t them. They didn’t know who it was, either; the creature was attempting to take the fall for their friends. You huffed out a slight, gentle laugh.

“No, no you didn’t.” Your other hand found the top of your familiar’s head, and you gently scratched at it soothingly. Glancing up at the rest, you swept your gaze over the sea of guilty faces and focused on Malak. The raven looked a little more disheveled than usual, his beady black eyes darting around and his head cocking back and forth anxiously. “Malak?” You prompted. You regretted it almost instantly when you saw the look in his eyes.

“Don’t look at me!” Malak shot back, and his wings flared out. His talons clicked against the marble floor as he began to pace, eyeing the other familiars with a paranoid and scrutinizing glare. “Look at Chandra.” He swept one wing towards her, and the other animals turned to focus on the owl. Her eyes widened further, both surprised and indignant at the accusation.

“I beg your pardon?” Chandra brought herself up to her full height, glaring down at Malak with cold, dark eyes. “I certainly didn’t break it. Unlike yourself I watch where I’m flying.”

“That’s weird, how’d you even know it was broken?” Malak said, almost smugly. As though he thought he’d caught Chandra in the act somehow. You glance at the scattered pieces of sharp ceramic in front of you all, and then back up at the two bickering birds.

The owl extended her wing, feathers flaring as she gestured towards the broken vase. “You imbecile, it is right there in front of us and it is clearly broken.”

“Suspicious.”

“No, it is not–”

“If it matters.” Another voice interjected quickly, and you all turned to look at the two Borzoi standing just off to the side. Melchior had spoken up, Mercedes pressed up against his side and eyeing Pepi. “Probably not… but Pepi was closest to it when we ran past.” Mercedes nodded in agreement.

You saw Pepi’s tail slowly puff up, her pale blue eyes widening in disbelief. “Liar!” She yowled at them, and her ears flattened against her skull. The fur on her back spiked up. “I don’t—push things off of tables, that is a stereotype!”

Mercedes looked amused now, baring her teeth in a grin. “Oh really? Then what were you doing up on the table earlier then?”

“Cats like to be high up to watch things, everybody knows that Mercedes—”

You sighed and held up your hands. “Alright, let’s not fight…”

“Well…” Camio bobbed his head thoughtfully. “Inanna’s been awfully quiet–”

“Really?” Inanna snarled, whipping her head in the cockatiel’s direction. The bird only cackled as the rest of the familiars broke into frenzied arguments, pointing claws and feathers. You could hardly hear yourself think over the uproar, the squabbling animals making so much racket it was a wonder the others couldn’t hear them from the veranda. With a long, suffering sigh you rubbed your hands over your face.

“Okay, that’s enough!” You called out, loudly and clearly enough that your voice rang through the entire hall and shut the bickering animals up. The guilty expressions returned tenfold this time as everyone quieted down, paws and talons shuffling. Your thumb and finger ran up the bridge of your nose, pinching together while you took advantage of the quiet to think. There were a lot of fingers being pointed—so to speak—but none of them were admitting it; and you were inclined to believe they were all speaking the truth as well. You opened one eye to survey the small crowd again, doing a brief headcount. Your own familiar, Malak, Chandra, Camio, Melchior, Mercedes, Inanna, Pepi… no sign of Faust.

“Found help!” Ah, there she was. You turned your head to see Faust slung over Asra’s shoulders as he walked down the hall, the periwinkle serpent waving her tail cheerfully at everyone.

“Faust told me what happened.” Asra crouched beside you and skimmed their fingers over the shattered pottery. “Why don’t we get this fixed up before Nadia sees, hm?” They threw a wink at the other familiars, all of them relaxing just a little bit now. Asra held their hands over the shards, and you watched alongside the familiars as the pieces began to glow softly and draw back together. Glowing golden lines formed where the cracks were as the pieces fit together, melting away to reveal a perfectly uncracked and unbroken surface. They picked up the object carefully and set it back where it belonged. “There we go, good as new. Nobody has to know.” They flashed a toothy smile towards you.

“I suppose it doesn’t matter who broke it then.” The familiars relaxed completely. The only reason you wanted to know was so that whoever broke the vase could properly apologize to Nadia; now there wasn’t any reason for that. You took a moment to give everyone some pets and ear scritches before standing up. “But let’s try to not break any more valuable objects, okay?” You chided them all gently and they murmured their agreements. As you turned back to Asra, you gave him a grateful smile. “Thank you.”

“If they’re all together like this, it’s hardly surprising that something broke.” Asra chuckled, guiding Faust off their shoulders so she could rejoin the other familiars. “I was waiting for it to happen. Murphy’s law,” They held their finger up as you both began to walk. “Anything that can go wrong, will. It’s just a matter of how, isn’t it?”

Gifts & Thoughts (M6); The Arcana

-------------------------------------------------------

Summary: The Main 6 and the gifts they send the Main Character. [Upright Endings]

Requested? ❌

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: None

"Is it obvious that all of this is right?"

-Elijah Woods, 24/7 365.

----------------------٩(◕‿◕｡)۶-----------------------

Nadia Satrinava:

Elegance, is the word for the gifts she spoils you with.

Everything she gifts you always has a connection to a certain time you have spent together.

A memorable date? A memorable day? A memorable moment? It doesn't matter;

Even the jewels that always color coordinate with your outfit palette has some sort of underlying memory connected to them.

Prepare to get showered with the finest, most intricately detailed accessories that Nadia associates with your shared memories.

Small mechanical inventions for your familiar. Like the little toys she made for Chandra.

Just as much as she pampers you, Nadia spares no expense in both monetary value and thought value to the things she creates for your familiar.

Your familiar is never going to feel bored within the Palace grounds, what with both Chandra and Nadia's little inventions to keep them company when you aren't there.

Light silk clothes in your preferred color palette, while the Vesuvian weather makes velvet and other similar fabrics impractical-

Nadia is well versed with the versatility of silk with the heat.

The silks she gifts you are to be imported from Praka, she will settle for gifting you no other silks but the finest kind in all the world.

The embroidery on these clothing items are always customized:

A pattern of a colorful forest: When you hunted down Lucio's ghost together.

A pattern of a wheat field: For that time you screamed your grievances to the heavens.

A pattern of waves, a small island with a singular angled tree: For the time you swam with her in the High Priestess' domain.

Asra Alnazar:

Scrapbooks is the vibe that comes to mind whenever the gift is from Asra.

For his presents are a mix of both learning, and simple sentimentalities.

There are still times where he goes on his own adventures and whenever he does, he never fails to bring back a tricket (Or five) which had reminded him of you in some way.

A leatherbound journal, with a burnt in pattern. For note taking when you're working on spell adjustments.

A small gemstone imbued with a protection spell, or a spell for luck, or healing- That has been fashioned into a necklace.

Herbs that he dries himself.

Self-made tea blends that he has subjected himself to tasting before handing you the perfected blends.

Matching knitted sweaters for you and your familiar, imbued with temperature regulation spells.

Spell tomes he bought, read, and then annotated with possible helpful tips, or everyday commentary to make your learning easier and more fun.

Julian Devorak:

Tomfoolery. That's it. That's his type of gifts.

A pun book, that he had somehow managed to talk Malak into gently dropping on you.

A sealed bottle with a preserved leach inside, reminiscent of the time you both thought to bathe in a suspiciously muddled pond.

He buys small journals, and writes down his adventure stories within them before handing them over to you.

Sometimes he'd send you a "Doctor's Prescription" that contain sweet gestures such as ten hugs a day, four kisses per hour, a "Nap" with him that lasts at least 12 hours-

Julian is an actor, a performer, an artist, a man of the arts. He always comes up with a new way to make a gift unique from the rest despite them being almost the same in form.

You now have a slowly growing folder of all the Doctor's Prescriptions you have been prescribed.

Thankfully, you only have a single bottle of leech and there is no indication that there will ever be another one.

Muriel the Outsider:

Handmade. Everything he gifts you is made with love, adoration, and quiet devotion driving his hands.

Sculptures both realistic and abstract, with the wood carefully polished to bring out the unique patterns.

Spice blends foraged and dried by himself from when he goes foraging in the forest every month.

Very seldomly, he gifts you flowers that he dried himself. Whenever he finds some that he likes the colors of.

He doesn't gift you dried flowers often, he appreciates nature and it's bounty but finds it hard to see any flowers as beautiful enough to be given to you.

Home cooked meals that Muriel tries his best to perfectly season and cook to your preferences.

Whenever trading caravans pass by Vesuvia, Muriel heads into the city and does his best to peruse each and every cart. Looking for something that might "Speak" to him as something that suffices as a gift for you in his eyes.

If there is no specific thing that meets his standard, then he'll look for materials in the carts instead so that he can make you something.

Portia Devorak:

Literature; Portia learned to read and write quite late in life, those two skills have become an integral part of who she is and what she sees as art and worthy of praise.

She writes you verses, poems, short stories- and she scatters them in the nooks and crannies of your shared home for you to find unexpectedly.

The paper is always subconsciously imbued with her magic. Whenever you touch the paper, you end up getting a glimpse into what she was feeling for you when she wrote the piece.

She gifts you books of stories she always comes back to, and books about the history, customs, and culture of the places you and her are sent as Emissaries to.

She makes sure to read through these books herself first, inserting slips of paper with her own viewpoints on a particular scene, or poems inspired by the scene (and the fact that she imagined both of you in it).

She also makes sure to always get you a box of the most delicious looking and smelling treat in the bakeries you visit on your Emmisary trips.

Lucio / Montag Morgasson:

The World. (No, Lucio does not get you the world turtle- As cute as they may be.)

He is no longer the Count, he has renounced that stature in favor of being a mercenary once more.

On your excursions, Lucio takes the time to sit down and take in the sights with you. Talking about everything and little nothings all at once.

Sometimes he sneaks in a purchase when you're both in the marketplace stocking up on supplies, stuffing it into his pack when your back is turned.

He never knows where or when he's going to give it to you on your adventures, but he knows that he'll know when the time is right.

Lucio picks flowers from the paths you're walking to place it either in your hair, or he pins it to your shirt.

If you get sad when it inevitably wilts away, Lucio reassures you that it's nothing to be sad about because the memory of your happiness from receiving the flower will metaphorically be keeping it alive.

If you find a way to preserve it with magic, he'll buy a sturdy box (He also asks you to enchant it with a few spells for extra safety) in which to keep all the flowers taken from your journey.

Once the box is full, it finds a place on the mantle of your shared home.

Crossover Headcanon I

The Arcana + His Dark Materials

Imagine if The Arcana characters had dæmons like the characters of His Dark Materials do. I expect it would look something like this.

Asra: His dæmon is definitely Faust. There is no question of that. In fact, it's probably illegal to imagine it as anything else.

Julian: Everyone assumes that his dæmon is Malak and he's happy to let them think so. He didn't intend to trick people with his raven friend, but he's not going to correct them if they want to assume, on account of being embarrassed by the form his real dæmon settled in. It's actually that leech in the bottle that is labeled NO.

Lucio: His dæmon is Mercedes, but he felt vulnerable walking around with such a large and conspicuous dæmon, considering that their fate is tied together. The solution? Get a borzoi! With Mercedes and Melchior together, it keeps people guessing which is the dog and which is the dæmon. It's also possible that it might not actually be either of the dogs, but Camio the cockatoo. He'll never tell.

Muriel: Very few know, and he'll only tell you if you manage to earn his trust. It's probably Inanna, but it could just as easily be one of the chickens.

Nadia: It must be Chandra. Like Asra and Faust, it's just impossible to see her with a different dæmon.

Portia: Her dæmon is Pepi. Besides being the obvious choice, she simply must have a dæmon that says "peep." It fits her "looks like a cinnamon roll, but can actually kill you" image too perfectly.

Arcana Themed Kandi Bracelets (PART 1)

The Main Six! (Left: Asra, Julian and Nadia/Right: Muriel, Portia and Lucio

Guess who got into Kandi making? Me. Wanted to make some Arcana inspired singles (cause that's all I can make lol)

So I went with the most obvious characters:the ones you can date in game.... Duhhh....

(I'm gonna make more, maybe the courtiers next???)

(Read for more photos and explanation)

Asra: I chose a heart charm that has a smaller heart inside of it for... Obvious plot reasons. Then the teal and purple because I think teal is their favorite color? I think? And purple because that's what I see when I think about him. Star beads because magic. Also, the little white tri-beads kinda look like bones from the side, so take that as you will.

Nadia: I picked an owl charm for her because it could either represent Chandra or The High Priestess. Her colors are mainly her color palette, and most of the beads are pearlesent.

Julian: There wasn't a raven, but this bird that kinda looks like a hummingbird? Whoops, I just couldn't find anything else that reminded me of him. So the bird is supposed to represent either Malak, The Hanged Man or a plague doctor mask (the beak is long lol) This one is pretty plain, having black beads in the back and two ab finish black beads in the front. And the red.

Muriel: You can't really see it in this angle, but I picked a house charm, because it reminds me of his little hut in the woods. Also Muriel's a home body. Used the tri-beads again for the same purpose as Asra. Chose big blocky letters because it better suits his vibe. And then more earthy tones, with the black ab beads for his cloak.

Portia: A cat charm to represent either Pepi or The Star. Star beads because The Star. Then the rest of it is just her color palette. (Don't know a whole lot about her, sorry)

Lucio: I picked a crown charm because... Because he's the count. Also it's so ugly, I honestly dislike his bracelet, despite him being my favorite character. I chose those awful gold beads because, let's be honest, Lucio would love that. Picked them because they were kinda over the top. (Originally was going to use the same letter beads as Asra and Nadia.) Uses small red beads and two faceted yellow beads at the front (looks like gems). The rest is his color palette, although it's mainly ab, pearl and glitter colors other than the red, which is solid. I made his bracelet ugly on purpose because he would probably have something like that. (Oh, he has his necklace haha)

Them all laid out together

Then all of them on my arm

Anyways, that's it for now! If you stayed to read all of that, thank you! I liked trying to come up with meanings behind them and designing each one.

I'm aiming to do the courtiers next 👀

Short Story Taglist

I’ve been meaning to compile a list of content tags I will commonly use, and their meanings. This both gives me a handy reference to use when I’m finalizing everything to post—because honestly I blank out on how to tag it once I get to that point, lol—and I figure I’d post it as both a reference for my own readers and a potential resource for other minific authors here on Tumblr.

This list will be updated as needed; and if you have any tag you think should be added, please comment your suggestions!

I will not be adding tags for certain taboo subjects, as that content will never be on my blog and I’m sure those who write it already know how to properly tag it.

I will not be adding ship tags because frankly there are too many to add.

Please note that this list contains Content Warning tags.

[cherryo]

Hi!! If possible can I pretty please have m6 from the arcana with a reader with a ferret familiar? Please and thank you!!

AHHH!!! this was such a cute idea!!!!!! i love love ferrets sooooo much!!

Asra - Firmly believe while they love your ferret theyd be worried because of Faust. - Doesnt think she’d necessarily hurt your ferret but was just cautious - Once they got over it, thought it was a blast to have a furry friend in the shop!! - (your ferret brought in a lot of customers lol) - While Faust is still Asras baby, your ferret would become a second child to them <3 

Nadia:

She loves all creatures but had always heard Ferrets were,,,,, less than clean 

She of course wasn't going to tell you that you couldn't have your ferret but she was just worried

Once Nadia got to know your ferret and realized they're pretty clean animals she fell in with them!!!

Was worried Chandra would like your ferret a little *too* much but was glad they got along without Chandra killing them!

i also feel she'd draw a line at letting your ferret sleep with you guys but doesn't mean any harm by it

Muriel:

this man was sooooo concerned Inanna would think your ferret is a toy :((

she thankfully knew not to mess too harsh with your ferret,they playfully fight now

still gives Muriel a heart attack LOL

nervous he'll crush them by accident or accidentally let them outside without realizing it

please keep an eye on your ferret so as not to give this man a heart attack Portia - LOVES YOUR FERRET SO MUCH

loves to see them wiggle and bounce all over the place !!!

wasnt at all worried that her kitty would do anything

loves your ferret more than you (/j)

adores them so much, you can find her snuggling both her cat and your ferret at the same time lol

Julian

another one who just downright adores your ferret

but i feel like hed love any of the familiars you would've had, if its an extension of you he'd love it regardless

he really didnt have any fear of malak attacking you ferret so it was all pretty chill from the get go

he's so happy about yalls family dynamic

literally treats yalls familiars like kids, its so sweet <3

Lucio

he takes the longest to get used to the ferret

he has only heard the same thing as Nadia and is less than pleased about it

give him a couple weeks of constant interaction and he'll be like a dad who didnt want the pet in the first place

cuddling it and talking to them in hushed murmurs

telling them how much he adores and love both of you

makes his baby fever go way too fucking high lol

[pinkstilettos-onmyface]

you KICK Chandra? you kick her body like the football? oh! oh! jail for Nadia! jail for Nadia for One Thousand Years!!!

I have a head cannon that one time Nadia tripped over Chandra and now Chandra uses it to guilttrip her.

Nadia: No more treats.

Chandra: Remember that time you kicked me? I can't believe you would deny me happiness after causing me such anguish, you are not worthy of my presence-

Nadia: fine, one more treat.

[sxftkxssxs]

hello again! It’s that riders of Icarus guy- so sorry for bothering you with that! Most people don’t really know what the game is so I don’t blame you, but I think an easier way to request something with the arcana would just be an mc with two wyvern familiars plus the m6 reacting. Again you don’t have to do this one, I feel bad I asked that cause it was a waste of your time- I hope you’re having a wonderful day and get plenty of rest!

I hope this is what you wanted! If you do want something different just ask <3

MC who has Wyvern Familiars (M6)

Asra

Considering these things are smaller than regular dragons, you’d be able to manage a lot better

Faust and your familiars are so chaotic together, causing a mess anywhere they go

Asra loves to see Faust getting along with the wyverns

Wants to ride a wyvern at least once, if they’ll let him 

He treats them with so much respect and love

Asra treats them like how you treat Faust

He will definitely be just as playful as he is with her as well

Julian

His jaw is literally on the floor when you introduce him

He gets very nervous around them at first, definitely thinks that they might eat him if he acts wrong

Julian eventually learns they (probably) won’t eat him just for saying something stupid

He loves seeing them scare people, it's dramatic, and he lives for it

Dresses them up for fun if they allow it! Definitely makes life more interesting, seeing a wyvern with some bright red accessories on

Malak occasionally will perch on your familiars. Then remembers that they could very well eat him, and decides to perch somewhere else.

Nadia

She loves them!

They look extremely majestic and know exactly what they want 

She is always very considerate and polite when she talks to them. She also tends to talk directly to them instead of through you

If you’ll allow them to, Nadia would love to have them in the ballroom occasionally

She loves when arrogant nobles get a little scared of them (intimidation tactic)

If they’ll let her, she’d have some jewelry made for them whenever there’s more formal events

Chandra will admire them from a distance! She doesn’t really want to become their next meal

Muriel

He doesn’t say anything, but you tell he’s a little shocked

They’ll definitely have to make due with the woods you two live in

Muriel actually really likes them, he won’t talk to them much, but he might make them things or silently sit with them.

Definitely carves some wood based on them! It’ll sit together with some of his other carvings

Inanna doesn’t get scared of them normally, she’s one of the few familiars that likes hanging around with them.

Portia

She’s in complete awe

They’re so cool! How’d you meet them? Where do they usually stay?

She’s practically vibrating with questions

They’ll fit somewhere, there are lots of woods near her cottage for them to rest in

Pepi is a little scared (reasonably so), but if said wyverns don’t like to scare her all the time, she’ll warm up to them

she definitely thought about riding them, more than once too 

if she ever does get to ride them, she will never shut up about it

Lucio

Does not shut up about them

Brags about them and you to anyone he meets

tried to literally shower them with gold (which is funny, until a wyvern actually gets hit with said gold)

he’ll also want them in the castle, but doesn’t think too far ahead about it- he just wants them to spook people a bit

They do come in very handy whenever you’re on an adventure and need someone to keep watch

Every familiar in here is so sassy, it's unreal.

huge stupid gay HOMESTUCK + ARCANA post

ill put a readmore right here when i have my computer

planet: DIFRENTIA [_im so clever_]

changes from canon:

* multiple fuschias CAN exist at once, given the sh33r size of the planet

* marriage is Kinda a thing, but only sort of, currently. marriage can be any quadrant, and married trolls are called 'bound'. trolls can have multiple bound partners in various quadrants. all in all, it's a newish thing.

* trolls CAN have children without the mother grub but it is extremely rare and, depending on one's blood caste/status, can be illegal

* even those allowed to have their own children are still required to contribute for the mother grub

* siblings are a thing and trolls that are close but not romantically interested in eachother will often declare themselves siblings

- The Seafarer [Pavhel Devrak, an oliveblood lucky enough to have a fuschia for a sibling. his sister made a bad deal with something under the sea, casting him into the waves]

- The Wayfarer [Ilyona Devrak, Pavhel's bound matesprite, a fuschiablood thrown to the sea in a terrible storm. normally this would be fine, being that she's a seadweller, but when the ship went down, the rushing currents threw her into the rocky seafloor]

tsundere

smarter than all the other familiars, and isnt afraid to show it

camio :

nadia finds it cute how he's trying to get along

chandra 100% hates him with all her heart

has a puppy-eye face that he uses too often to his advantage

he tries to make himself believe that he's good at public speaking, but he really isn't

mercedes :

has anxiety

she secretly loves getting dirty

summer girly through and through

tackles when hugging

she's not illiterate but you'd never know since she hates studying

'allergic' to books

#twinning

melchior :

pretentious hipster

thinks he looks good everyday

loves his sister to bits

protective af

uses "girly" and "gurlll" constantly, even to men

jazz dances daily

walks outside with sunglasses

tries to be formal and ultimately fails

he seems both easy to approach and scary at the same time

date of origin December 26th 2024

i drew a lot with friends today but i feel the only one that i can post for not being completely unhinged is this Nadia

I dont wanna post other people's art without permission so I'm careful with what I'm cropping here but Thun drew a soldier with this one later

that one was based off a cards against humanity deck we were playing

I dont usually post the Arcana/TF2 au stuff but I really like this demoman

Thun did actually add a Scout reacting to this one but again I don't like posting other people's art without permission anyway i fucking love drawing this meme you probably couldn't tell from me doing it 20 billion times
