( also my tiktok is @jayhardt_cosplay ! Give me a follow for more memes )

aka, stop dismissing complex female characters as bitches you heathens

to preface this meta: i’ve included screenshots where i can, but as tumblr only allows 10 images, i’ll also include transcripts of scenes i want to discuss. screenshots have been cropped to only include the text, and should be read from left to right. i have left out some filler text, and “blank” boxes are only meant to keep the image even. all mentions of “Nadia,” unless otherwise stated, refers to Nadia in her Reversed route.

tldr: Nadia is Textbook Tragic Hero, it wasn’t animal abuse, Nadia did not sell MC to Satan for one corn chip, and it certainly wasn’t “bad writing.”

Long ass character meta under the cut! obviously contains spoilers for Book XX, Judgement - Reversed.

You gotta do what you gotta do~~

Alright guys, I was just informed that @ezcosplay just ripped off the original design for my jacket. You can also find more ripped off cosplays here: https://m.ezcosplay.com/the-arcana-asra-coat-cosplay-costume-special-requirements.html?sscid=11k3_pg0v

First of all. DO NOT GET THIS COAT. Or any cosplays from this site. They are mostly stolen images and they cannot produce the product in any sort of good quality! They will not be able to get the quality shown, SomersetSews is the original seamstress and she did an amazing job. I promise this company will give you jack shit.

Also! That is not their design to be selling. It was designed for ME specifically, by my boyfriend. It’s not cannon and it’s not an option to be using. I kindly asked everyone to design their own jacket. Honestly, everyone is so creative and wonderful that doing this is just sad. So please, it’s not okay to steal art or work of any kind.

Asra: Boho Dad, Drops kids off at school still wearing the pants he slept in and slippers. Packs their lunches with Sunflower Butter and Organic apricot jelly sandwiches. Hugs over Homework.

Nadia: Private School Mom who picks up and drops kids off in her Bentley. Goes to Starbucks with them every single morning, Kids have Ballet, Basketball, Piano, and Language Tutors. Designated Hot Mom of all her kids friends.

Julian: Stands outside with Kids waiting for the bus with hot coffee mug every single morning, even when the kids beg him not to on the first day of Middle School. Goes to every single Theatre performance, Sports Game, etc being the embarrassing dramatic cheerleader and applause in the audience. Gives great sentimental Dad advice though.

Muriel: Big quiet Dad that’s more laid back than you’d expect him to be. Will just sit there and chill for tea parties in a chair 10x too small for him. Picks kids up and drops them off in his truck, The dog comes too. Everywhere.

Portia: Super cool and bubbly fun mom that volunteers for all the boosters and after school activities. She’s the mom everyone in her kids class knows, and bakes for birthdays. Picks up and drops off not only her kids, but her kids friends and other moms kids who are working and such. 10/10 Parent Goals.

Hey y’all! Li here with something interesting. To challenge myself to draw faster and to draw different OCs, I’ll be doing the 100 OCs challenge. The catch is- I need your OCs!

Minor guidelines:

Please understand that if I end up getting a lot of people, I can’t draw everyone’s OCs o)–(

Non-followers are welcome to join, but please understand my priority goes towards my followers because they support me!

Please only participate with Arcana OCs, this is the theme I’m sticking to because this is the community that supported me so much

Please provide a coloured reference, at least bust-up! (since I won’t be drawing much more than shoulders given the limited space)

Please have patience, this is a big project that will be done in between my obligations and personal works, so it may take a while!

Depending on whether I have time or not, I may update people as I go- but again, that depends on if I have the time and how fast I work!

These will be done in my secondary style, meaning most of them will look similar to this:
