#but Fictif i think is way more at risk

[bri-the-bi]

“We want Arcana content on the arcana app!!” “No I don’t want them adding a bunch of bullshit to it!!!” “Arcana content should be on the app it was made for!!!!!”

All you Arcana fans, I mean this in the best possible way, but shut the fuck up.

I mean it. Shut the fuck up.

You guys have nothing to worry about— and I say this as an Arcana fan myself. Yeah, maybe it sucks that any new “content” is gonna be on Dorian. It does, I get it— and I’m on your side, I think Arcana content should be on the original app that was made for it.

But that doesn’t fucking matter. You know why? Because at the end of the day, the storyline is over.

Each of the love interests have either learned their lessons in their respective upright routes, or they’ve gotten worse and doubled down in their reversed routes with the apprentice. They’ve each told us they love us. We’ve been with them every step of the way.

They’ve had their stories, their happy endings, and their sad ones.

You know who hasn’t had those endings?

Sage Lesath. Anisa Anka. Felix Iskander Escellun. Casimir de Gévaudan. Rainier. Fin Derodine. The MCs of those stories.

There are Fictif storylines that are still unfinished, and none of those endings are going to be on Fictif. None of those endings are going to be with those beginnings. We don’t even know if they’re GETTING endings at all.

The Arcana has had its time and its storylines, and while it’s sad, I think it’s time we laid the canon content to rest. That doesn’t mean the fandom has to die, it doesn’t mean we have to stop talking about it or making content. But the story is over.

Fictif’s stories aren’t.

My opinion on Celia's route so far

Well, I have been wanting to do one of these for a while as a way to keep track of everything and so here we go!

•First of all, I need to get this off my chest : I love the characters! I think they are well written and they are one of the key points that make the story so enjoyable to read;

•Plot wise I have to say that I feel things are going a bit too quick (with the whole thing of Frank wanting to kill the MC just because...they pressed the matter of Sherry Spillane's murder a bit too much?? Couldn't he have found another way to shut them up? Maybe something that involved Celia to add some angst to the whole thing... I don't know). I get that this is supposed to be a movie (at least I think it is but to be honest I don't know the rules of this trilogy) but I can't help but feel like this romance development too quickly. Well, Celia hasn't said that she loves the MC yet (at least outside of the paid options) but she's already willing to talk about what Frank did to Buster and risk going to prison in order to spare MC's life which...it shows just how she feels. I'm not saying I dislike it, I would have just appreciated it a bit more if we had had some more bonding moments (I've been playing all the payed options so far and there are many amazing moments but I'm afraid that those who can't afford them will be losing some important background on the way their relationship is developing).

•I'm very curious to know if MC will eventually tell Celia that they are from a different time(?)/dimension (?). Because from time to time the MC will let some things spill and when Celia asks about them the MC just ignores her questions and pretends they didn't listen which...I don't know for how long they'll be able to keep that up.

•Frankly (pun intended) I am a bit confused about the whole Liam Stirling thing. He keeps dropping by but, not only was he introduced very abruptly, I also can't quite grasp what his deal is yet. Sure pal, you want to take Frank down but...you sure have a strange way to do it.

•So far I'm loving Celia's character! She totally fits the role and the concept of femme fatale and she is very fun to read. Sure, sometimes the way she seems to be oversexualized by the MC makes me a bit uncomfortable (seriously, all the paid options on the beach or on the pool are very fitting cause that person can be really thirsty at times 😂...or maybe I'm just too ace) but I can get through that. I think she has proven to be a character with some really interesting background (I'm specially interested in her family since she brings them up a lot in conversations and I'll be really disappointed if we never get to meet them) and she (along with Billy and Frank) portrays very well the hierarchy of Hollywood and the dark side of it! I swear it has given me a lot to think about! (I'm studying this at university along with film analysis and theory so yeah...maybe I'll write something about this later)

•I love the way the characters talk! The little details to show their accents, the expressions, and the overall tone make me feel like I've been transported to another place indeed! Not to mention that it helps give some extra personal details on each character and I'm living for it!

•Billy is an amazing comic relief character and his dynamic with Celia is just adorable. PLEASE PROTECT THIS MAN!

•Back to the whole "this feels rushed" topic, I really hope they don't rush Celia's route (the fact that I have to keep talking about this only shows how insecure I feel about all of this). I've seen some people talk about it and while I'm fully aware that's a possibility (we all know Fictif) I really want to believe they will start to pay more attention to the female routes. Right now it seems that they're posting new chapters on Miguel and giving Celia a break. And hey, I fully understand that! The guy hadn't had an update since they published Celia's first chapter and in two months we got 6 chapters out. BUT PLEASE LET CELIA HAVE AS MANY CHAPTERS AS THE BOYS DID! That's all I ask!

Anyway, this is all I have to say so far. Hopefully I'll add more in the future.
