I have recently referred to lucio and the court as “the goat man and his children”.
Nothing to say, i got shanked already
Vlastomil: Quality time
- take care of his worms with him, or just watch if you don’t like them
- have tea and gossip
- listen to him talk, help him with his duties, just be there for him
- you can bet he’ll always drop anything to spend time with you
- “*comes into his office* Hey, Vlastomil, I have the afternoon free and I was wondering if you would like to-”
Vlas:” *flips table and is already at the door* YES!”
- moved your desk in his office just so you can be together as much as possible
- cuddles his worms and is sad when you’re away on palace affairs
- Nadia once reprimanded him for neglecting his duties and running off the moment he sees you. She later found a worm on her pillow.
Valerius: Acts of service
- if he loves you, he will try everything in his power to make your life easier
- not so open about it like Vlastomil, you will simply find everything clear in your path
- will subtly try to find out what you need help with (he’s like a fairy godmother y’all) so you don’t think he’s belittling your abilities
- yes, will be sassy about everything, while helping you. “Oh, MC, how careless of you to leave those documents on the table where anyone can find them.” And when you ask what happened to them he will shrug and say “I took care of it, love” while sipping wine
- always pours the wine in your glass. he says it’s chivalry. we know he just wants you to never lift a finger in your life.
Volta: Gifts
- first, food.
- will bring you food she found and that she enjoys and watch your reaction when you try it
- also, cute things, clothes etc
- she loves the way your eyes lit up when you receive a present from her
- will bring you something, no matter how small, whenever she goes somewhere (a different city on court affairs or even just the market)
- “Oh, my dear MC, I know you told me to refrain but I got you something. *brings in two treasure chests and a bag of fresh baguettes*”
- don’t try to stop her, it’s canon that she’s a hoarder, and now she has you to buy things for.
- will also buy magical artifacts, tools, herbs etc. You don’t know where she got those from. She knows a guy.
Vulgora: Words of affirmation (shocking right? hear me out)
-they are basically the most vocal of the courtiers, they say everything they think and LOVES talking so yes, if they love you they will shout it from the rooftops
- encouraging af. you basically got yourself a cheerleader. you feel like you can move mountains with them on your side
- will constantly praise you, in private and in public
- will BRAG about you
- even if you fail at something they’ll be there like “i wasn’t born perfect at fighting either, c’mon, you can do this”
- someone badmouths you? hellfire comes out of her mouth (and blood out of that guy but oh well)
- you about to fight someone?
“GO KICK HIS ASS, HONEY, I’LL HOLD YOUR TAROT DECK” *makes throat-cutting gesture at the guy and mouths ‘drop dead’ *
Valdemar: Physical touch (yes shocking again but-)
- correct me of i’m wrong but out of all the courtiers they are the most touchy with MC and in their personal space. yes, the fear factor is there but let’s be honest, they could scare the hell outta ya anyway without touching you.
- touches you whenever they see you, either fleetingly or all out pushing you against the wall and embracing you, wrapping their arms around you from behind or mindlessly petting your head while they’re reading something. they have to feel that you are there
- if you try to run (you know u will the first times) they’ll just chase you cuz it’s funny, but then they’ll do it cuz you’re warm and soft. they’ll tackle you and just stay there with that devilish grin. just accept your fate.
- the first time you touch them they’ll be Error 404. why would you ever wanna touch something like them?
- now if you stop caressing or cuddling them they’ll hiss at you they’re basically a homicidal cat, hold them in your lap
- if they see someone else touch you, they won’t say anything at first, you’ll just hear a low growl and the earth might start shaking.
-they saw you shake hands with Julian once. they disinfected you afterwards.
Vulgora, hissing: What is that OBNOXIOUS glowing ORB in the sky?
Valdemar, facepalming: The sun.
Vulgora: I’m gonna fucking FIGHT IT.
Valdemar: If I make you breakfast in bed, a simple “Thank You” will suffice. None of this “How did you get in my house” business. So rude.
A very insidious form of transmisogony is that there can never be a positivity post for trans women without people (usually afab trans people) either derailing it OR reminding them about terfs and it’s ONLY for trans women- it’s much less often that anyone will mention “transphobes don’t look at this” on posts for trans MEN.
Trans women can’t exist without everyone reminding them that someone out their hates them, even people in their communities, and we as allies HAVE to do better. Instead of saying “terfs don’t look at this” or whatever preformative allyship floats your boat- deplatorm terfs, block them and STOP ENGAGING, and uplift trans fem voices!!!
As a Jew I rarely see “Nazis don’t even breathe on this post” when it’s Jewish positivity, but I ALWAYS see it on anything even REMOTELY related to trans fem things. It’s transmisogony, simple as that
Covid is not over and black lives still matter. Stop trying to "go back to normal" when shit is still happening.
Stop going on trips and going to restaurants without masks.
Keep educating yourself and protesting and calling and donating and signing petitions.
Wear a mask. End white supremacy. Defund police.
I know it's tiring but it's not over for either thing even though people are pretending it is. I know the overlap is exhausting. But be safe, social distance, and keep fighting the good fight.
I just dont have a pic of my apprentice yet other than my icon uwu
I just wanna draw some babes.
I created an alternative outfit for Valdemar based on the concept art in procreate! Hope you enjoy this sketch.
Arcana shenies
I've done this, but instead of surgery, it was with something I was dissecting for a forensics class on valentines day one year. Luckily, my partner for the project had a good sense of humor, or the rest of the dissection would of been awkward.
My best post yet
gollums loincloth is like 2 inches of toilet paper and he’s hopping around like disneys quasimodo doing acrobatics and we as an audience are narrowly spared from seeing his peepee but you cannot you CANNOT argue that sam and frodo didnt see it at least once!! they didn’t want to but they didn’t have things like camera angles to save them they probably saw gollums swinging little meat sack a hundred times and both of them just decided to never ever mention it
here is a document of antiracist resources for white people that is not too overwhelming and is organized by where you are in your journey of becoming antiracist
bro they fucking hung the confederate statue in Raleigh
I physically look like a love child between Vulgora and Volta. Its rare to actually see characters that look like me in any way. Its hard for me to pin my personality. I can be calm and collected and very focused on work, yet I am an anxious mess with a need for travel and exploration. I'm kind of a chaotic neutral type.
I literally feel like I’m Vulgora and Valdemar’s lovechild with a pinch of Julian. That’s highkey me. No need to get to know me, that’s it, that’s the whole show
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
If you’re gonna reblog this Shitpost then I wanna know what characters you relate to the most let’s get a chain going bois
I’m not asking for courtiers with romantic routes. I know that’s not right and it’s very unhealthy (well maybe not Volta-).
And the devs are probably rlly uncomfortable thinking that a bunch of us (me included) want to fuck a demonic doctor who not only has the form of an eldritch horror monster, but also zero actually positive/healthy human emotions. And I don’t blame ‘em, I can see where I’m fucked in the head very well. (Hint: it’s not just at one place)
I KNOW.
What I am asking for is an antagonist route. Just a little something for us villain lovers. Some of us are just like that; we like the thought of a dark side, a different perspective. Personally, I’ve been like that since I was a kid. I always imagined myself helping the villain; chilling with Maleficent, roasting the hyenas with Scar... fuck, dude, Ursula was and still IS one of my role models to this day.
BACK TO THE SUBJECT. I’d just be really hyped if they gave us at least one route in which MC gets to choose the wrong side; you know, Angst and all that good jazz. We get more interactions with the courtiers, yes, but I’m not asking for romance. Just some twisted sense of complicity. And getting on the Devil’s good side for ONCE.
An antagonistic MC.
An MC who was hurt by the fact that Asra kept secrets from them. Who’s sick of not knowing their own past. It’d be so fun to see that, to see the dark side of magic for once, you know?
Like I said; angst purposes. And courtier “friendships” (even though it’s probably gonna be fake as fuck for some of them).
You get my vibe?
Edit: ALSO CAN YA’LL IMAGINE IF WE COULD GET MORE CHAOTIC SCENES WITH ALL THE COURTIERS THAT’S TOP-NOTCH ENTERTAINMENT RIGHT THERE
Another Edit: also, to quote one of my favourite authors, “some things are better off dead.” Because Asra bringing MC back to life is a Pet Semetary move and we all know that it doesn’t end well, usually. Again, angst purposes
What was the antifa attire
Arcana fandom can you please
Please stop misgendering nonbinary characters
Don’t call Asra a man, just because he’s fairly masc and uses he/him doesn’t make him a man he is never referred to with gendered phrases like boy, son, or sir in the story
Valdemar is nonbinary and uses They/Them pronouns, they do not have a gender please do not call them a boy or man
Same goes for Vulgora
Nazali is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, even though they are referred to as a sister like the other satrinava children please refrain from adding other gendered phrases
Okay, so I don’t usually do this sort of thing on Tumblr, but I’ve noticed a pattern of disrespect in The Arcana fandom that I feel needs to addressed yet again.
Going out of your way to misgender and disrespect someone’s identity does not make you enlightened compared to the masses, or cool, or edgy—it makes you an asshole. Whether they’re a real person or a fictional character doesn’t matter. It costs zero dollars to be polite and respectful, and if you can’t manage that, it takes less energy to keep your thoughts to yourself than to type them out and share them with the world.
I know this is harsh, but it needs to be said. Non-binary, trans, and agender people are part of the LGBT+ community and if you can’t respect them, then why are you playing The Arcana? Most, if not all, of the characters fall somewhere under the LGBT+ umbrella! You don’t get to pick and choose which identities you support and which ones you don’t in this community—you either treat everyone with kindness and decency, or you get the hell out.
This is how he pleads for forgiveness after he breaks up with her

You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and your for us.
I wanna point out that Valdemar is a nerd who can be very helpful when they’re interested on a subject
