why do height differences in shipping always have to be about one being really tiny and the other being really tall. what about one being exactly a single inch taller than the other and the second being consistently angry about this.

This time for ease, I'll be doing it through google forms. I also realised I'd accidently listed the wrong prices last time! These should be the correct prices and all further information is in the form.
They're open indefinitely because I need rent while I wait to hear back from my job interview
and so begins the tri-annual Cleansing Of The Eye Safety Whale Shark
yes. the most important purpose.
this stupid fat green bitch holds 60.5 litres/16 gallons of water. i can't physically lift it off the wall. it weighs 8kg with nothing in it. it weighs about 70kg full of shitty brine water. (that's about 150lbs for my american friends)
it takes FIFTEEN MINUTES to drain through the eye cups. the only way to drain it faster is the intake hole on the top. but since i can't lift it...
i can't leave it to drain alone because this thing is the messiest bitch on earth and instead of trickling out the hole at the bottom in an orderly, even flow, it shits water out all along the bottom because it was designed in the shape of a roller coaster chair for minimum efficiency.
i have to stand there and babysit it + periodically dump the mop bucket i have to place under it before it gets too heavy for me to lift it to dump it. then i have to refill it by using 4 random water jugs of varying sizes and escorting them in a bin i have taped to a garbage can to minimize my trips taken. it still takes about 8 trips. i end up soaked from the tits down every time.
the whale shark is there to keep me from going insane because i have to do this every 120 days.
also her name is Wet Shrek. (the station not the toy)
real emails i get to send the store manager

āWe want Arcana content on the arcana app!!ā āNo I donāt want them adding a bunch of bullshit to it!!!ā āArcana content should be on the app it was made for!!!!!ā
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 aboutā and I say this as an Arcana fan myself. Yeah, maybe it sucks that any new ācontentā is gonna be on Dorian. It does, I get itā and Iām on your side, I think Arcana content should be on the original app that was made for it.
But that doesnāt 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 theyāve gotten worse and doubled down in their reversed routes with the apprentice. Theyāve each told us they love us. Weāve been with them every step of the way.
Theyāve had their stories, their happy endings, and their sad ones.
You know who hasnāt had those endings?
Sage Lesath. Anisa Anka. Felix Iskander Escellun. Casimir de GĆ©vaudan. 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 donāt even know if theyāre GETTING endings at all.
The Arcana has had its time and its storylines, and while itās sad, I think itās time we laid the canon content to rest. That doesnāt mean the fandom has to die, it doesnāt mean we have to stop talking about it or making content. But the story is over.
Fictifās stories arenāt.
Iāve seen some stuff about Asraās gender, and I mean about people whining saying he isnāt actually non-binary or that āHeās just the Arcanaās version of Dumbledoreā ā¦ā¦wellā¦I canāt say I agree. I know him being non-binary isnāt āobviousā because he doesnāt present in an androgynous way. He uses he/him pronouns in the game, he presents himself pretty masculine. The thing is though, non-binary people donāt owe androgyny to anyone for any reason. Not every non-binary person wants to be perceived as genderless and there are plenty of non-binary people that use gendered pronouns. Asra was created, in part by a non-binary man. Itās in the artbook, and yes I know not everyone would have access to it, but it doesnāt matter. The point is, Asra doesnāt have to conform to what people expect non-binary to be/look like to still be a non-binary man. And I know, his pronouns are he/they, but heās almost exclusively referred to with he/him. As has been said, he uses he/him but would be okay with they/them. To me, this translates to Asra not identifying as a āmanā but still being very comfortable with his masculinity. Iāve always read him as leaning more masculine, and being okay with being perceived as masculine, while also not conforming to what people might expect a man to be. Even his masquerade gown is pretty masculine (but likeā¦in a non typically masculine way).
I just feel like a lot of representation about the way people express their genders or how they identify and how diverse that is, is ver limited and then almost erased when people throw fits about how non-binary people should look/act/exist
ALSO there are things in the game that hint towards him being nb. The Magician uses they/them pronouns for example, and typically each of the characters share the same gender as their patron arcana (Scoutās pronouns are whatever you choose for the MC, the Star and Portia and Nadia and the High Priestess both use she/her, Valdemar and Death uses they/them, Julian and the Hanged Man and Lucio and the Devil use he/him, etc.)
Asraās parents also go out of their way to call him their child, not their son (itās been said Asra prefers gender neutral terms, but in general doesnāt really mind anything).
There IS stuff in the game if you look for it. Asra IS valid as a non-binary man, and not all non-binary people exist as androgynous and use they/them. The point is being OUTSIDE the binary, and that exists in a lot of different ways. By throwing fits about how nb people should be, youāre basically just putting them in another box and treating them as third gender as a whole, when being non-binary ISNāT a third gender because itās different for everyone and encompasses a massive amount of genders.
These are also points that I didnāt get around to putting in this post. Thank you for adding them
Thereās also the fact that someoneās gender identity isnāt always obvious by how they present themself. Asra just happens to be a non-binary man who prefers to present and be perceived as masculine but only being referred to as masculine when it comes to pronouns and otherwise just being a person (as opposed to a man). Thereās so many ways to be non-binary and expecting androgyny honestly feeds into heteronormative expectations of gender as well as limiting non-binary people as a whole.
Asra seems to demonstrate a preference for neutral terminology for himself such as his parents calling him their āchildā and his masquerade outfit actually has elements that resemble the clothing of both of his parents. His child sprite is also deliberately ambiguous in design.
Just because Asra uses he/him doesnt mean its okay for people to misgender him as a cis man, to misgender him as anything other than nonbinary.
Wait, what's going on? I just re downloaded the arcana but I haven't noticed any problems :(
hi, anon, welcome back to the fandom! we hope you have a good time here!
the problem is not with the arcana application itself, the problem is with the dorian app version. dorian bought the arcana from its former owners, nix hydra, and promised to keep the original app running while adding new arcana content (ie new arcana tales) to the dorian app. all well and good, but dorianās made a few choices with their app content which weāre side-eyeing over here.
for example, a new asra tale came out on their app last week. they misgendered the magician (they/them, was referred in the tale as he/him), they completely ignored the soft magic system asra and the main characterās tarot magic runs on in favor of using spells with names (which donāt exist for any magic system in the arcana game, really), that sort of thing. we initially chalked the issues up to growing pains for the new devs, as learning about the worldbuilding and most character pronouns requires actually playing the game and taking notes (the arcana fandom isnāt the most curative out there).
then nadiaās new tale came out yesterday and the dorian devs broke the one meta rule of game design: choices matter. instead, they locked the āgoodā end of nadiaās new content behind a paywall. the original devs never did that. they hid raunchier/hornier/far more romantic moments behind a paywall, but nix hydra never hid endings. you always could get the entire plot for free with a little bit of patience.
the dorian devs further doubled down on hiding the good ending by giving the player choices throughout the route which, obviously, do not affect the ending. no matter what you picked, if you chose free paths only, you got the negative ending. but that discrepancy between the "choices" and the f2p ending meant that players caught on to the hidden good ending a lot more quickly than they would have otherwise. you paid to win or you didn't.
they then tripled down on hiding the good ending by changing how the paywall works. with nix hydra, you paid once and then your account had access to the scene forever. with dorian, you have to pay every single time you want that hidden content.
that's the most important and relevant nonsense anyway. there's more, but we're not here to dump the garbage on our blog.

I feel very bad for the one Arcana writer whoās employed by Dorian. Dorian bragged about getting the 6 tales out so fast. Which means this ONE writer worked on all of them, maybe with a team of Dorian writers who had to also be taught the writing style of the game. And probably was in charge of writing ALL the tales.
We donāt want speed, we want quality and you clearly didnāt give the writer time to make the tale quality. Also, if the ambassadors are super fans, how did they approve these tales? Did they READ the tales or just the concept? Because the Asra tale didnāt even follow the lore. Likeā¦.at all???
To be completely honest, the tale has potential but as it stands currently, itās like a rough draft mapping out what they want to do with it.
I hate that Fictif stories arenāt completed, and Dorian, thatās what you should be focused on. But put it on the Fictif app. And make sure itās good quality. At the very least end it how it was PLANNED for the stories to end, Iām sure you can get that information. At the same timeā¦Fictif fans are probably better off hoping that Dorian DOES NOT finish (read: butcher) the stories
Thank me later, folks!

Should be the full one, w the highest quality i could get.
CG from the new arcana tale (more like fan-fiction i'd say) sadly only playable on Dorian.
(last time It got weirdly cropped in the corner so i'm reposting It)
So I read the new Asra Tale āThe Lost Spellā on Dorian and uh....that was...Not Great.
There were a lot of issues and I ended up thinking about what I would have done differently/how I would change the story while still trying to stick to more or less the core concept of it, and I figured I would share those musings here.
First things first, I would have made this story a more...personal one for Asra and MC involving Asraās past and his parents. A story where Asra and MC are trying to retrieve something that was lost to his parents...I would have made this story not about a missing spell, but instead about lost alchemical research. Alchemy being the field of expertise for Asraās parents, blending science and magic, and a field that Asra himself is most likely more unfamiliar with. (You could still make reference to this material/lost alchemical research being relevant to the current efforts to fix Vesuviaās water system with a mention of how it could have been helpful I dunno)
This ends up being what leads Asra and MC to seek out The Magician for helpĀ after digging for information in the palace records and library havent turned up anything and Asraās attempts to track via magic havent been fruitful. Thus leading to the hint that what they seek can be found in Asraās memories.
Instead of skipping straight to being told where to go to find the information, it could have been fun to have Asra and MC searching through the pools in Asraās gate to find the right memory, giving us fragmentary moments from Asraās past to witness as a result. Perhaps moments from, for example, when Asra and MC first met, a memory of Asraās time on the streets with Muriel, the argument Asra and MC had during the plague, etc...until eventually they come across the memory they are looking for...one that is so old as to have been long forgotten by Asra, something a little raw and bittersweet...a memory from when Asra was a small child before he was separated from his parents. In this memory they find the alchemical research they had been searching for in the Alnazar home.
I dunno something along those lines could have been nice, while sticking to the idea of searching for some lost knowledge/magic.
Have you drawn Portia middle-aged/rocking the mom bod? We know she'd kill it.
Portia definitely rocks the mum bod! Not only is she already a little chubby, she's the one out of all the LIs I imagine having children, and many children at that. I love the idea of her with her family at sea, letting her kids enjoy the travel as much as she does
