upright ending

my mc Ellie in the upright ending with Julian 💕

[ruvelli]

I’m rereading/replaying The Arcana (won’t be the last time so long as it exists) and per usual they’ve got some fun, new stuff going on the side…

And apparently JulianAsra is now canon, like PortiaNadia is if you don’t date one of them.

Um?

First of all, ship who you want—more power to you. But it seems weird to make it… “canon”?Maybe it isn’t? Maybe it’s just in Muriel’s? It seems like they’re leaning into it, though?

Yes, they’re exes and that makes sense, BUT—

SPOILERS:

I’m not sure how to feel about that because their thing was… kind of toxic.

Julian isn’t very mature and didn’t treat Asra with a whole lot of respect (almost more like Asra was a damsel in constant distress or a child) and Asra admitted even when they were together he didn’t love him/barely liked him.

Their interactions as friends even said “barely friends”.

Asra got annoyed at Julian at the drop of a hat because, again, they barely like him. Also tended to lean toward subtle insults a lot.

They only started to get along cuz of the MC and even then only if the MC was dating one of them, in particular if the MC was with Julian who apologized in his thing

Oh, and I need to reread Muriel’s for context again (because I only read it once; I know, shame on me 😭) because I do recall an indication they’re back together… but why? They’re not terribly compatible and I’m scared to play the Memories bit because I’m worried their chemistry is forced in it.

Even the extra stuff doesn’t indicate Asra more than barely likes him. And now there’s a whole section dedicated to their romantic relationship, which is awesome for the shippers. You get coins if you play it, so that’s cool, too.

So, we got concentration on that and it feels like just fluff for that ship lovers… and that cute date episode with one of Nadia’s sisters. Neither of which feels terribly necessary and is clearly just to add content somehow.

But you know what I really, really, REALLY would love to see???

The MC’s life before Asra showed up, how they originally learned magic, the aunt (who doesn’t have to be a real relative) they lived with maybe, when they met Asra, their life together including how it affected Muriel, seeing Nadia for the first time, and then MC’s time with Julian helping at the clinic after their big fight, etc. All the stuff that was mentioned but never got to be explored.

I even want to see their final days beyond a glimpse as they die cuz fuck my mental health

Can we get a prequel?????

book xvii - the star: the labyrinth

Calling all Egg! fans! I am here with a goal to breathe life into this game, to pull it out of the grave by the single finger left sticking out and reanimate its mostly decayed corpse. Though I feel I must disclose I am in no way associated with Nix Hydra/Dorian, I’m simply a dedicated Egg! fan.

So to the fans who’ve come across this post, rejoice!

I plan to post at least weekly Egg! content, as well as soon provide my own tested APK file with instructions of how to use it so that everyone may enjoy Egg!, even following its removal from most app stores. I plan to use as much official material within my posts as I can find, the GIF used here of Peeg I actually made using an official promotional video from Egg!’s launch.

I truly hope I’m able to provide ways for Egg! fans new and old to connect with each other and interact with more Egg! content, official and fan made.

For the people worried about the future of Nix Hydra’s stories:

This is from the official discord. Mod Alex (used to?) work as Nix Hydra’s social media specialist (or something like that). This is after a bunch of people noticed that Dorian took over NH’s games. Please don’t panic or fear-monger about the future of these stories. We’ll be fine.

Soooooo...

If anyone knows a good screen recorder that also captures audio please tell me. Gonna save as much as I can anyways and then share with y'all.

Thanks for proving my point! They don’t care, I doubt they even read it.

What scares me about this whole situation with Dorian and Nix Hydra is that it would not be the first time that a company took advantage of the work of their fans to profit from them (if it happens). Like, I understand that the Arcana characters belong to them, and it's up to them if they allow us to benefit from their creations (like; commissions, making merch...), but it would be a pity if Dorian does not allow us anymore after all these years...

And well, if they decide that they no longer want us making money using their characters, I could understand it because it's true that many companies and creators do not allow it (specially if they are small companies or indie crrators), but what really scares me is the possibility of they taking profit from our work. There is a difference between not wanting others to profit from your characters (which, as I said, I'd understand), and profit from what your fandom creates because they are using your characters (which would be a total dick move lol and super hypocrite). This is just me being paranoic, maybe nothing wrong happens, and I really hope so, but I've seen too many times companies tricking their fandoms (specially the younger creators) to benefit from their work, under the pretext that they are supporting small creators by giving them a platfrom. I hope it's not the case!

New loading screen 👀👀👀

[ruvelli]

Is it really just me, or would anyone else like to have a The Arcana Prequel?

Including before, during, and after Asra.

Seeing Nadia for the first time

Maybe meeting Lucio somehow (or not)

How the MC affected Muriel’s relationship with Asra

The big fight with Asra

Working with Julian

BIG SPOILERS:

And then, maybe, the end.

And then maybe waking up without memories or cognitive function? Make that the finish line?

khailan and nadia with their two kiddos 🥰

[bakerozza]

Julian pls calm yourself!!!!!!

[a-rogue-tiddy-bot]

I would just like to take this moment to point and laugh at Dorian. Touchstarved demo is better than your entire catalogue of games put together. Suck it, losers.

[theartofsabrinak]

Are you serious?

Malak takes a nap on a very comfy head. 😌✨
