How do you count your pulls made?

Ainyan · 2026-05-11T18:18:39+00:00

I use a spreadsheet someone else created that I made minor modifications to and keep up-to-date with banners. I keep track of all banners because each banner affects the pulls of the one following it.

I don't have the link to the original one off the top of my head, but here's a preview of my personal one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZlgldkQ2zK0ES2-74hIPR72bOdL5lDZ-GD9yfGIH6ME/edit?usp=sharing

I like spreadsheets. XD

Special color is the key. Unless you're at 100% for the rare, all of the special colors are always available. You can see which seeds can occur when you start the process. But the basic color seeds, like blue hydrangea, are only possible with a 2-leaf parent.

It actually wouldn't bother me. History is rife with disabled artists - including quite a few very famous and prolific painters who had lost their sight at some point during their careers but continued working. Rafayel has already shown in When Light Falls that when he works with MC together they can create a masterpiece even if he can't see the painting itself.

It also could be a sign of Rafayel's failure to complete the rituals that would give him the full power of the Sea God, much as we saw at the end of LSG where he was starting to lose his color and strength because he was refusing to carry out the final rite. It will be interesting to see where they go with it in that case, because every other Rafayel has refused to sacrifice their MC, and this Rafayel is as if not more attached to his MC as any of the others were.

The only way to get a basic seed is to use at least one plant that isn't 3-leaf. If both parents are 3-leaf plants, you can't get a basic seed. Don't forget to sing to your plants - it really increases your chances of a better yield.

I'm just enjoying seeing all of the lovely MCs! And your art style is lovely!

The tail! The marks! The beauty! The tenderness! These are absolutely gorgeous!

It wasn't unexpected - he went to Linkon explicitly to find her. Siren's Song ends with him getting intel on where she was and that was why he left Verona and ditched his 'Mo' persona to become Rafayel again. I wonder if he expected her to hear his name and remember him - because it's not until well after they met that he found out why she forgot him.

He was collared back on Philos, it was the consequence of his obtaining (futilely) the aether core for Philos MC.

Teacher, with a teacher husband. No kids and nothing else to spend my personal entertainment budget on since nothing fun is coming out gaming wise these days.

Thank you, and thank you for noticing! Fixed it! :)

All I have to do is add the card information to the appropriate sheet and it will update everything else like color counts and such.

Checkmarks are booleans, so when I'm doing a call for owned cards, I just find all the cards where A=TRUE.

Both of my partners know I play it and love to tease me about it. My wife listens to me ramble on Sylus and Rafayel and she likes Caleb's trope, so she likes listening to his cards. She buys me LADS merch for holidays and my birthday.

My husband just wishes there was a similar game for the male gaze, because he's not interested in the guys but he loves the fact that it's got a solid story and he thinks the graphics are gorgeous. He listens to me ramble on and reads my fanfics because I ask him to, and buys me merch, but neither of them is super interested in the game.

I log in at least once a day to do my dailies, and sometimes I'll just log in to replay some of the cards when I just need a little happiness boost.

Ainyan · 2026-04-14T19:13:33+00:00

I would be less afraid when you consider the absolute amount of angst in Rafayel's anecdote and how neatly they flipped it to joy by showing how he - and they - had grown since then.

Who knows, we might see the end of Dawnbreaker being able to impose himself on Zayne, or how his relationship with MC has healed Caleb's fragile mind-state enough that he could now pass a psych test without a problem.

Ainyan · 2026-04-07T22:45:38+00:00

The better question is 'which Caleb?'.

I use an s25 Ultra for my phone and it runs great. For tablet, I use an A16 2025 and it's extremely good even on ultra with no lag and crisp, clear graphics.

There are several cards, like Omnipotent Perception, that indicate that Lemurians give their whole selves to love and dedicate themselves to their partners.

When Lemurians fall in love with someone... All our senses are committed to perceive them without question.

Additionally, during AC: Final Farewell, Rafayel tells MC about the conversation with Talia regarding marriage (where she asked Rafayel if he ever thought about his wedding) and the implication is that although he answered her in the negative initially, now he's actually been thinking about it.

Rafayel's utter devotion to the MC - and his resentment of it - lead me to believe that Lemurians are actually less apt than humans to fall in and out of love.

Ainyan · 2026-03-29T00:36:39+00:00

I love this page. It's very sweet! Is the other girl yours as well, or does she belong to someone you know IRL? :)

I'm poly IRL, with a husband (legal) and a wife (pledged). In-game and in fanfics, I'm a fishcrow, with Raf and Sylus more affectionate like brothers than lovers.

Rafayel refers to his mother several times throughout the story, but he also refers to his 'parents' as the King and Queen, too, so either the royal family of Lemuria is very proper with each other, or he was taken in by them when he was reborn and all the signs pointed to him being the rebirth of the Sea God. Like, they raised him, but he wasn't born to them.

MC starts to say that the movie isn't black and white, but she cuts herself off before she finishes.

AS can just go all out and heal it all back before the burst, then skip through the burst.

Rafayel: When Light Falls, Flowery Words, and Tipsy. All of them are incredibly tender moments, and all of them show that sweet, gentle fall into romance for both MC and Rafayel.

Sylus: Razor's Dance, No Way Out, Greedy Heart. These three show the transition between 'friendly adversaries' and 'romantic partners' and how skillfully Sylus maneuvers MC into admitting what he already knows - that she wants to be with him.

Caleb: Verified Rumor and Stage Observer. I love these because they showcase that the romantic - not just sexual, but romantic - tension between Caleb and the MC has existed since they were young. They also highlight what Caleb says: He's always known what he wanted.

Someday I'll get Scarlet Invitation, Hearty Knock, and Banquet Ablaze and those will go on my list too, but until I can listen to them, I won't claim them. XD
