I saw aruinne‘s Devil Asra on Insta and felt a way 👀

– Asra – 

Life as a street orphan makes cooks of us all. If he wasn’t a child desperately stealing fruit, he was a teenage magician earning coppers to buy scraps from the butcher and bartering for old, bruised squash. He quickly had to learn how to stretch his meager rations as far as he could, and cooking was the way to do it.

He’s come a long way from the one single pot he and Muriel would squat over while hiding away in the docks. Now, he and you happily enjoy a consistent diet of fresh groceries, sometimes he cooks and sometimes you do. 

All his cookery he learned in Vesuvia - pasta, lentils, chickpeas, tomatoes, cumin, basil, ocean seafood. The both of you don’t quite earn enough to splurge on the good cuts of beef, but you never have to worry about going hungry. 

And you don’t have to worry about bland, burnt food, either. Asra can reliably hold his own in the kitchen. He doesn’t exactly follow recipes, just tosses together stuff according to what feels right in his heart. A holdover from the days where he had to improvise all his food. 

There’s more holdovers; he hates tossing away uneaten food, or groceries that have gone bad. He’ll keep the chicken bones to make into a broth for tomorrow. He never peel potatoes or fruit ‘cause the skins contain valuable nutrients. He cringes at people who throw away the heads of fish. The leftover fat in the pan is made into gravy, or pastry frosting, or soap. Occasionally, he and you give away your leftovers to the urchins that hang around the neighborhood. 

When it’s his turn to cook, expect traditional Vesuvian cuisine like flatbreads, hummus, and vegetable soup. Herbs used in the shop are sometimes thrown into the dish, like thyme or myrtle leaves. Asra’s cooking regularly gets to grace your stomach, and it’s very lovely and nice uwu

It was supposed to be the answer to an anon ask “Can we see Asra as a parent ?” but I accidentally deleted it ^^;;;;

I drew the first (Proud Asra carrying his bb) then I got carried away a bit XD

Hello! Me and another flowery fellow would like to introduce a fan event made for The Arcana fans!

What is Fields of Vesuvia?

Fields of Vesuvia is a fan-made Gift Exchange event for The Arcana Game fans and is centered around flowers and their language. Participants choose one or more plants and characters from their recipient’s wishlist and create a piece with them! Writers and artists of all ages and skills are welcome to participate!

The creation timespan is from June 1st and to August 1st, ending with a two week gift posting period. Check our schedule to see more specific information!

For this event, we will have a participant limit of 60 people, but we will have pinch hitter applications open during the whole event!

Requirements

Minimum requirement for all content is a finished piece. This is a vague requirement due to everyone having different standards for their content but we trust you know what it means in your standards. We wish for every piece to have love and effort put into them.

For Artists: Minimum requirement for your work is a single character bust with a simple background. This is also slightly vague but we wish you know what it means in your own standards. Traditional artists need to have their work scanned or take a high-quality photo.

For Writers: Minimum word count is 1000 words.

We require every participant to have 3 examples of their works in the application. Your skill level won’t be judged and everyone is allowed to participate! This requirement has been set to avoid scammers or art tracers from entering this event.
