Everyday is Black History Month to me, so here’s my list of theee finest black characters/Love Interests in Romance Club.
And IF YOU A BLACK RC PLAYER OR YOU ROMANCE BLACK LOVE INTERESTS, HOW WE FEELING??? WE EATING REALLLL SILLY IN THIS NEW UPDATE WITH THE ROMANCE SCENES OF OUR LIS. IF IT AIN’T BLACK WE NOT FINNA CRACK AMIRITE???? YES LAWDDDD
⚠️Disclaimer: OPINIONS!! If you have a problem with this post, you’re a Klan member and you can go ahead and block me, thangyaaa. If your faves aren't on this list, my fault. I probably haven't read the book or I don't find them attractive or was unaware of their existence 💔. I promise I’m not a coon 💔💔. This house’s motto is “the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice” alr? I don’t play. Also, there are minor spoilers from the new update or certain books in general, so take caution⚠️
And without further ado, let’s start the showwww
1. Rael- Averris: The Riftborn
This is a black man to me. I don’t care what y'all say. That is a BIRACIAL, black man(assuming that his mama has a curly bussdown wig on lmao) that habitually puts relaxer in his head. AND he gets stigma for being mixed and is scared to be scrutinised for his characteristics by others(internalised racism core). You have to believe meeeee 💔💔💔
I saw Rael for the first time and goodness gracious was that man sexy. Honestly, I initially wasn't going to romance him because New Worlders are HUGE and he’s so tall, as height is very intimidating to me in a man 💀(One wrong move, and he finna pick me up and launch me to the other side of the room 💀. My man has to be at LEAST my height and at MOST a few inches taller than me, no shade 😭).
BUT! People change! Things change! Circumstances have changed(Ashriel ain’t shit and Sailen ain’t shit) and his height is a factor I can overlook because him explaining to Liren the more “practical”(👀) uses of his anatomy dragged me back in because that has also been on my mind 💀.
2. Greg- Heaven's Secret Requiem
WHEWWWWWWW
He’s Rome Flynn type of fineee.
Don’t let me start on this man because this post was barely PG when I spoke about Rael.
The only lightskin man that I can ever be able to tolerate 😭😭
If you’ve seen my posts, you’ve definitely seen me moan about Greg a few and mourn what he could have been if Sasha actually fucked with any love interest other than Cain(no shade to Cain, tho. That’s my bestie). Not even the Killmonger special(courtesy of N’Jadaka’s locticians and barber shop) was enough to beat him down.
This emote of his raised eyebrow as welllll 😩. HE KNOWS HE’S FINE ASH AND HE KNOWS THAT HIS CHARMS ARE WORKING FUCK MEEEEE. And the bawdy on this man is ludicrous too. It's tewww much ice.
3. Cassiel- Astrea's Broken Heart
Zaddyyyyyy 😛
He’s 90’s Will Smith level of fine bro. Holy shit. And he acts somewhat like Mike Lowry from Bad Boys. WALK WITH MEEEE
This particular sprite of him looking like a detective as well. Yeah, I’m so normal about it
See, if he wasn't an asshole to me when I first walked into the Astrea Agency…🙄
It’s okay because he’s grown on me a lot and he’s such an amazing friend to Audrey on their friendship path ☹️💔. That's my bestie and I don’t play about him, same as the rest of the Astreans.
Removing his lore for the moment, that’s a BEAUTIFUL black man right there. Holy SHIT. I remember playing ABH for the first time and being like “Beautiful story, proper black representation and a gorgeous ass darkskin black man??? I can't stop winning!”. Little did I know not all of the authors like niggas 💀💀
4. Luna- Waterlily
MY BESTIE. MY HOMEGIRL. MY GORGEOUS WIFE. MY EVERYTHING ACTUALLY.
I haven’t played the update yet because your girl’s broke and waiting for DR, but I heard that in her romance path, she flirts with a waitress after you sleep with her
All I’ll say is tweet tweet. I know where home is.
I've done a separate post prior to this list talking about how much I love tf out of this woman so I'm not gonna say or do too much, but yeah. Gorgeous gal. Beautiful soul. Amazing inside and out 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Wait, I'm gonna cryyyyyy nooo 😭. We need to move on NEOW
5. Volot- And The Haze Will Take Us
That's dada
He has the smouldering model stare DEOWN
Y'all won't trick me into falling for the White Volot propaganda. That man is canonically black to me. I know what you are if you think otherwise unt unt 🤨
I've already made a separate post thirsting over this man, so again, I'm not gonna dtm.
All I'll say is, if the gods want me sacrificed, I’ll be damned if he lets them have my pussy. That’s HIS, babyyyy 😛😛😛
Too far?
Don’t block me y'all, I’m sorry 💀
6. War- Heaven's Secret 2
Face card so strong even the chewed ass undercut dreadlocks they gave my mans wasn't enough to diminish his sexiness(Played in his hair the same way they did Greg 💔💔. Same shop perchance? I need a word rq). At least they fixed it in HS3. Can I get an amen War romancers 🙏🏾
7. Celeste- Averris: The Riftborn
WE IN BLACK PEOPLE TOPIA IN ATRRRRR YES LAWD.
I didn't know they had black hair salons in Arcadis??? Drop the addy, queen 💔💔. Her hair is always on point ugh
Celeste is stunning. Ethereal in fact.
Am I crazy if I say she gives me Megan Thee Stallion? Walk with me guys
Deep it. They’re both STALLIONS(Did I say height was intimidating? Must’ve been a fly ig), Celeste’s personality is similar to the confidence, poise and girlbossing Megan exudes in her actions and the lyrics of her music(Edit Celeste to one of Meg’s songs and I promise I'll sell you my soul. Don’t forget to send it to me too 😛), and both their bodies are tea. Check me into the psych ward but don’t tell me you don’t SEE ITTTT.
I'm in awe when her sprite appears on my screen.
8. Zane- Advent No 3
COLONEL CARVUHHHHHHHH 😩😩😩
I love a nigga in uniform, gah damn
Normal clothes don't do his physique justice because where was he hiding that BAWDYYYY??? And from ME of all people??? Anton knew wassup. You know what? I hear it.
Not only that, but this man's demeanor also is so attractive to me. He radiates such control and authority and he's mature with just a hint of pettiness(Because his beef with Adriana tickled me bad 😭) and I just know he's submissive asf. Unfortunately, I stay away from niggas like him irl. All that nonchalant bullshit is propaganda to force black women to accept struggle love. Sign me OUT
9. Herse- Song of the Crimson Nile
You cannot sit there and tell me that this woman is anything BUT a black woman. The evidence is literally in her facial features. I KNOW my people
I was gagged when she came on my screen for the first time. How can a woman be so gorgeous???
Titian, my boy, fairssss. Come dap me up because you have a baddie you get to call your girl. Hold her tight tho, because if you fuck up, I'll swoop in with agility. With vigour, matter of fact
10. Vincent- Soulless
I love my tsundere warlock so much
It's either I have a degradation kink(Impossible as a word of affirmation girlie) or I genuinely can't take hints because he lowkey highkey wants me guysss. I'm 5 episodes into Soulless and I just MISS HIM UGH. I miss his face. I miss that smartass mouth of his. It's so pathetic.
I'm tired of living with Kevin Gates' incubus counterpart, bro. A girl coughs near him and you'd think she's a telekinetic the way his dick shoots up immediately. Be mean to me all you want, Vince just TAKE ME AWAY FROM HIM OR TAKE ME IN BEDDDDD 😩
11. Xavier- Waterlily
THEEE textbook representation of a lightskinned black man. And his green eyes is the ribbon that wraps the present nicely. I can't even be mad because he's hot.
I don't have much to say about Xavi since I'm not romancing him and that's Emma's man(lucky girl), but yeah. That's a fine man. Period.
12. Frank- The Sins that Cry for Vengeance
I'm not even playing TSTCFV but girl, I won't shut up about Frank. He'd be my love interest fs when I do get to playing the book
Am I crazy if I say that he lowkey looks and gives Louis from Interview with a Vampire?? TELL ME YOU SEE IT TOO. THE VIBE IS THERE ISN'T ITTTTT.
13. Regina- Shakespeare's Code
Evil/Morally grey black women rep secured YUP.
In spite of SC's direction(Or rather, its lack thereof 💀), Amy ate this lil' one thing. And she's not stereotypical, praise the lordtt. She was the LAST person I was expecting to be an antagonist because I actually adored the insecure, envious girl persona she portrayed in season one because you don’t see that archetype of vulnerability or emotion in black women characters. I have to give a standing ovation for that twist
I even forgot she was working for M because of that mug of a face. She's easily on my top 10 most beautiful RC female characters. Why are we fighting fr??? Can't I just admire you??? Stop playinnggguhhhh
14. Thea Lindwood- Sunborn
Ho. Lee. Shit
Mind you, I haven't even touched this book yet, neither have I played Moonborn, but that FACE??? Lethal. Tea.
I have enough woman crushes already bro, my plate’s getting too full 💔💔💔
15. Ray- 7 Brothers
They are black to me idc idc.
One thing Romance Club gonna do is represent a light-skinned black person properly.
I’m finishing off with the absolutest cutie patootie to ever exist. I wished they were also a major love interest because Ray was legit the only reason I played that nothing burger of a book (alongside Logan of course 😛)
——————————————————————————
Obviously, this list isn’t the end. I just don't want your thumb to hurt from scrolling because I care about you(My DMs are open aha 😛) and I have an obsession with having things in 5s.
As always, you’re very welcome to add or take from this list and agree or disagree with me(RESPECTFULLY. I’m not the one OR the two tysm) and I may possibly make part two because y'all love me so much.
…Right?
RIGHT????
Toodles!
