When you thought you were the selfless idiot, until your lil bf decided to fight a whole strong ass demon face to face

HERE COMES THE SUN (DOODOODOODOO) *ARCANA BOOK XIX MAJOR SPOILERS ALL ROUTES*

Friends, it has been a long day for me and I have had to switch between three different fandoms for updates. But, I refuse to disappoint.

So without further ado, let’s begin.

Julian’s Route

GUESS WHO GETS THE CG THIS ROUND!

Death is honestly hella nice, and as much as him being Malak makes sense I sort of wish I would have picked Portia’s Cottage just for the chance to see Pepi say “I am Death”

Death can’t take a physical form because of Valdemar

The Arcana: Friendship is Magic (and can help you defeat the devil)

Ah yes, the two reasons to risk your life: It’s just right, or it’s for love

Friendship ended with being called Daddy, now being called Captain is my kink (think I’ll get flagged for saying this?)*

Apparently Lucio tried to light himself on fire this time…

My girl Portia coming through for me again, stashing Julian’s bod somewhere safe

HOLY SHIT JULIAN APOLOGIZES TO ASRA

THIS IS SO WHOLESOME THEY’RE BOTH APOLOGIZING FOR EVERYTHING

MAZELINKA FOR THE WIN! DEVIL SCHMEVIL IS RIGHT!!!

Watching the Devorak kids play in the Magician’s realm is so good

Lesbian Grandmas? Lesbian Grandmas!*

FUCK YOU GOATMAN

LET MAZELINKA SAY FUCK YOU COWARDS

The Devil is fed up with Julian and MC loving and supporting each other

Sticks and stones may break my bones but a bottom in chains excites the hell outta me

WE GOT IT!!! THE LAST “I LOVE YOU”!!!!! FUCK!!!!

END PREDICTION: Upright

Asra’s Route:

Reminder that Asra is a sweetheart who worries about his parents

Quality hand massaging time is good time*

That Face™

“AHHHHH!”

Yet another reminder that Lucio did, in fact, steal MC’s body

All in favor of pushing Lucio into a black pit scream “Hell yeah”

God damn it he’s back

Laugh it off kids, laugh it off

He’s carrying a big stick but he sure as hell ain’t speakin softly

Lucio is not the sharpest tool in the shed is he?

Seriously these new Lucio sprites? Love em

The recognition of character growth is truly something I admire about this game

1 out of 3 bodies collected

I apologize for the amount of Lucio being mentioned in this route but it was primarily Lucio-based

Am thoroughly confused and concerned about what just happened at the lake but as far as I know we’re still doing well…?

Kiss kiss fall in love*

I want to see the image of Muriel dragging Asra’s body under his cloak through the party and to the fountain

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S TOO LATE

END PREDICTION: Unknown

Nadia’s Route:

Fuck I forgot about pseudo-ram demon Valerius

Very sudden change of heart from said pseudo-ram demon

Lesson to be learned from all of this: do not make deals with the devil

We finally meet the Hierophant in his proper, wine-loving glory

The Vineyard background is absolutely stunning

Volta is actually called “potato creature” and I adore it

Also confirmation that Volta and Vlastomil are tied to Temperance and Justice

Orgy murals are the best sources of inspiration*

Nadia more like Naughtia amirite fellas

Aaaaaand Lucio is fuckin back

“Get out of my house” is such a power move

Seeing the dynamic between Nadia and Lucio really puts things in perspective, and I am so sorry that they ever got together

Once again we see how powerful Nadia really is an I love that about her character so much

Lucio admitting that the MC is better than him...interesting*

And he’s back to calling us a stupid witch

2 out of 3 bodies collected

I...that ending though

END PREDICTION: Upright

Only a few more books to go folks... but hey! This is a fandom with a bright future that’s clearly making progress, and even after the 17th I’ll still be here to give you Arcana updates!
