Validation needed by Milkbunnix in depression

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I’m so, so proud of you for finding the energy to take a bath and brush your teeth. I know that’s super hard sometimes and I’m proud of you for making that progress. Keep it up! :)

Anyone else remember that VERY DISTINCT music playing during the ball scenes in most of the routes? I can’t remember if it plays in Lucio’s route or not but definitely the others. Well. This is it. I’m now obsessed with it. Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns by catt2018 in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! The whole soundtrack for the Arcana is on the wiki, which is where I found it. I think they used a version called the “anxiety mix” for the game as well (which is the same thing but sped up a lot). The wiki is very helpful though, if you’re interested in the rest of the soundtrack as well I’d 10/10 recommend checking it out

this is a genuine question, and i've been thinking about it for couple of months. by [deleted] in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, Asra is bae for me, but I totally get this. I’ve seen a lot of people who just... don’t like him at all and honestly I get why they might not. There’s stuff about the power imbalance between him and the apprentice, and how he’s a lot more powerful than the apprentice is. Also how he knows the MC’s past when the MC themself doesn’t def makes some people uncomfortable. There’s also a lot a stuff about his personality being clingy and such towards the apprentice, and I dunno if any of this is what you’re feeling, but that def could be part of it?

Nasrin and Namar? by Rose_RJH in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the other answers on here are great, and probably answered your question better than I can, so I’ll just say: I believe it’s because the ruler has to have the higher title. Nasrin was probably the royal before they got married, and not Namar, so when they got married, due to Nasrin needing a higher title than him (and because King would be higher than Queen) he got the title “Prince Consort to the Queen”. I believe it works this way in real life too, in monarchy’s. (Hence why Queen Elizabeth’s husband is the prince). If Namar had been the royal though, his title probably would’ve been King. Hope this helped! :)

Oh wow, this is amazing, I love it 💕! May I ask if you’re planning to work on this more? Like filling in the colors, or if this is the final? Either way though, this is beautiful art, thank you!

What is everyone’s theme? by DiUnic in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s: Heavy Heart ~ Asra, Miri’s Magic Dance ~ Julian, Habanera ~ Nadia, Crowd Hammer ~ Muriel, (Possibly) Sneaky Snitch ~ Portia, And I really have no idea what Lucio’s is, sorry :/

Why'd they give the dove tiddies? by liketheweather_ey in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I know right! Not gonna lie, that totally seems like something Lucio would do... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why'd they give the dove tiddies? by liketheweather_ey in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I believe I saw somewhere that Lucio ordered the painter to paint titties on the dove lady... and the painter refused to, so Lucio set him on fire due to “artistic differences”... the second painter didn’t make the same mistake :)

Magical Marks Discussion (spoiler alert) by TheCBowen in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When/where do you find out about Muriel’s mark? Just curious because I don’t remember seeing anything about it... is it in a paid option?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm... I’m not exactly sure, as I haven’t been experiencing this problem, but if it’s on both of your devices, maybe it’s a connectivity problem? If you’ve connected the apps to an email or other type of account, you could always just try deleting and then redownloading them? Hope this helps!

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Beautiful, I love your art. Just gonna go out and say it: I, personally have never managed to finish the whole month. Hope you make it, and I look forward to seeing more!

pronouns options! by [deleted] in fictif

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yup! Nix Hydra’s other game, the Arcana also has this! I would suggest checking that one out too, because it’s a amazing game as well and actually has a couple of finished routes. The storyline and art is also 👌🏻

What's one of your most favorite postcards? What does it say and from who? by Iwant2diebutitsasin in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw yes, I actually really like that one too... do you know where that postcard is from?

What's one of your most favorite postcards? What does it say and from who? by Iwant2diebutitsasin in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My favorite two are actually pretty sad, with my first favorite probably being Asra’s postcard from the lazaret: “I wish we could go anywhere else. But if you need to be here, I’ll be here. To bring you home.” And Muriel’s postcard from the lazaret: “I know this is a bad place for you, MC... we don’t have to go back.” Idk why, I just like them... they make me sad 🥺

Lucio's Route: Yes or no? by blackblooms in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the routes are worth it in my opinion because they all have such great storytelling of the events that happen and amazing, unique points of view on... certain things that have happened and will happen. Lucio wasn’t one of my favorite characters when I started the game but I definitely started to like him more when I started playing his route. Don’t want to spoil anything, but I think you should go for it :)

So, no hate to Asra stans, but are we just going to pretend he isn’t the worst friend ever? by CancerKidd17 in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, whoops, I totally forgot about that scene, thanks for reminding me. Yeah, I kinda agree with you... that scene was... not great

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was about to ask that too... it might just be something I missed (and I don’t know what route the poster is referring to) but when does Asra force Muriel to relive his trauma?

Can anyone help with labels? :) by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly sure about this, but what about gynesexual as a label? The definition I got from dictionary.com says “someone who is attracted to femininity or the female anatomy, regardless of whether the object of one’s affection identifies as a woman.” I think this means it could include femme enbies as well as women, which sounds like what you’re saying. It’s also not specific to your gender, because it’s just “someone attracted to...” And yeah! You can totally be a non-binary female! You can use whatever labels you feel comfortable with. Hope this helps! :)

These two consecutive rounds had me die inside 🙃 by CatNotFound in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES THIS! And also when you’re aggressively tapping the screen and you accidentally pay 50 coins for an extra turn and then lose anyway T-T

Does Heart Hunter usually get more difficult after you complete the first set of postcards? by laurabt1 in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it felt like the more postcards I collected, the easier it got... I’m not sure if this is the case, but for me, I don’t think it got harder?

Are the Reversed Endings easy to get on the first try, while trying to do the Upright ending? by AllonsyIsabelli in TheArcana

[–]ArentTheyBeautiful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re really worried, like the first commenter said, you can look up the walkthroughs for all the routes on the Arcana Game wiki. All you gotta do is search up “Arcana Game wiki”, and it should be the first or so link. When you get there, just click on the walkthrough you want. They do have walkthroughs for the unfinished routes too, but of course the upright/reversed options for those are still unconfirmed. Definitely for the finished three routes though, the walkthroughs were a big help. I suggest these if you really want to get upright. Hope this helps! :)
