Nadia’s Mehndi

A fluffy little drabble of my apprentice doing Nadia’s henna. I wanted it to come off naturally, but I’m not in the mood to edit it right now 😭😭, so I’ll just hope and pray it comes off nicely and there are no errors. 💕🙏

The Countess spared no expense treating her lover with the loveliest of delicacies as gifts. Alas, her lover was a simple woman who distinctly cherished the one thing money could not buy — her time.

Nadia was a symbol of grace and resilience. She often reminded Taduki of gorgeous sculptures of women, the epitome of beauty. Though she found that, regardless of what she looked like, she would love her all the same, which is why she wanted to decorate her with a special treatment.

She presented her love with a modest, cone-shaped tube of Henna in the palace gardens.

“Oh, my! I haven’t seen this for quite some time.” Nadia smiled. She sighed and rubbed her temple, “My sisters used to draw on themselves for hours. It was at its worst when they insisted on collaborating on my body… But I do have fonder memories of this, my dear.”

Taduki cut off the end of the tube with a pocket knife and placed the tip of the henna on her love’s arm. She hummed and asked, “Would you tell me?”

Nadia watched her fluffed up curly mess of hair move around while she worked. She let out a giggle and said, “Sure.” She had it done during her wedding with Count Lucio. Yes, it was customary in Prakra, but she also saw it as a testament to the first step in her new life.

She stopped herself. “Darling?”

“Mhm?”

“Where did you learn to do Mehndi? During your travels?”

“Yeah”, Taduki replied. “We did performances and stuff, but not everyone was looking for a show. It actually started because I saw this super bored kid and I offered to draw something on him. It spiraled into a service after that.” She laughed.

Nadia planted a sneaky kiss on her forehead. Taduki looked up and grinned, then asked suddenly, “Say, Nadi? Why do you call it Mehndi?”

Nadia subconsciously played with her lover’s coily black hair in thought. After a moment, she raised an eyebrow. “Is that not what it’s called?”

“I call it henna”, Taduki returned to her work. “I’ve heard people call it Mehndi before, but I have no idea why! It’s just so different.” She squinted.

Nadia sat back on the edge of the fountain, careful not to move her arm. She looked at the sky in thought and inquired, “Henna comes from the henna plant” — she stopped herself. “Wait, no. It’s the other way around! Henna is the plant itself.”

“Yeah, and then Mehndi is the brown stuff.”

“Oh, goodness. Well, when you put it like that—.” Nadia hid a disgraceful snort behind her hand.

Taduki shoved her and laughed. “Do you remember—.” She interrupted herself with a cackle and a wheeze. Nadia gently held her arm, a big grin still stretched over her face, and laughed, “Stop that! You’ll hurt yourself!” Taduki held her stomach and hiccuped. She wearily fanned herself and continued, “The dinner at Vlastomil’s…”

Nadia let out a raucous laugh and clasped her hands together. “Yes! Yes, I do!” She nodded.

“Ewww!”, Taduki recalled herself saying out loud. She wheezed and rolled onto the grass, still shaking with laughter. Nadia followed her and fanned herself off before holding her. She waited for her lover to calm down and catch her breath, but by the time she did, she must have been half-conscious. She took a deep breath in and out. “Never let me tell a joke ever again, please”, she groaned.

Nadia smiled and pat her stomach. She hummed, “I’d miss you.”

Taduki wearily looked into her eyes and hummed back, “Me too.”

Nadia’s shoulders shook and she mouthed, “What?”, before shaking her head and leaving it be. She sighed dreamily and stared into her eyes.

The grass made for a soft cushion and their eyes were starting to droop. Their bed was neatly made in the palace, but they drifted further and further into their sleep, for it did not matter where they were or that one’s mehndi was smeared. They were safe, and they were together.

Fun-sized HCs: M6 w/ a Conspiracy Theorist MC

Yeah, that’s right, I’m making mini hcs cuz my full hcs are HUGE — they’re like oneshots. Also, yes any and all Inside Job fans come thru I’m begging. 🙏

Asra: If it were not for Julian, they would be the Major Arcana of conspiracies… I mean, when you died, he looked and looked for ways to bring you back when it’s generally supposed to be impossible. If you wanna mull over old books and scrolls for secrets that might not even be there, go right ahead! Will always tear you away from your studies to prevent you from going too far into the rabbit hole.

Julian: Omg!! Partners!! He obsessed over the plague and his best friends since then have been decaying tomes and mysterious ledgers. Though, he’d rather keep away from biology studies for a time, he’s all good with your investigations! He would accompany you on your ventures around the abandoned sides of Vesuvia as well as the not-so-abandoned sides… 😈

Portia: Confused… but delightfully interested! Wants to hear the most interesting stories you have. After all the fun you two had with the realms, who knows what’s gonna happen now! Is down to protect you anytime, but would prefer to keep you safe at home with just your theories. Wants to know everything that goes on in your cute little noggin. 💕

Nadia: Oh, well, now she can make use of that dusty, old section in the library! Is somehow surprised when you suddenly haul ass to the library… Really though, knowing a theorist is inquiring to her as a ruler. She’s cautiously intrigued in your interests, but would rather not intrude. Her concern for you shines through when you express plans to infiltrate or explore… Does her best to get you into events as lawfully as she can if you so wish.

Muriel: Doesn’t care, honestly 😭😭. After all you two have been through during the trip South, he’s had his fair share of magic and monsters already… DOES care when you show signs of the rabbit hole’s depths or plans to get into something dangerous. Begrudgingly accompanies you on expeditions, just to make sure you’re safe…

Lucio: Kind of cool, actually??? He never understood all of that magic junk that happened during the ritual, but secret societies and monuments are way cooler to him! Especially cooler now that you’re traveling and picking up stories from the locals. He’s down to muck up an old crypt anytime with you! Just… don’t expect him to be careful 😒…

Hi brainrot :)

Could you write a mini hc about an mc who gets really cute when they're sleepy? Like they get all slow blinky and cuddly, or suddenly think everything is worth a giggle or two. I think a few of the m6 would make it their mission to wake mc up just a tad bit earlier or keep them up a little late just to see this side of mc

The Arcana Mini-HCs: When MC gets sleepy-cute

Julian: you've just unlocked the secret to getting this permanent insomniac to actually fall asleep - do you know how hard it is to stay anxious when you're right there, snuggling and yawning so cutely?

Asra: you're fully aware that they already have a "getting lost in thought staring at you" problem, right? if anything, he's going to start herding you to bed sooner so he doesn't spend whole hours stuck

Nadia: thinks it's adorable and yes, it's a little mean, but she does start waking you up a little early so she can see this more often. especially likes asking you complicated questions to watch you buffer

Muriel: this. this is what did him in. do you know how many times you dozed off on his shoulder and he let you because he felt bad for staring while you were nodding off? this is his kryptonite

Portia: likes to keep you up late to see this happen, and will save her silliest gossip for those moments because she loves the sound of your sleepy giggles. makes up for it with breakfast in bed

Lucio: used to get genuinely annoyed with you (read: himself) because it was cute and it made him feel things and he didn't want to feel fuzzy and soft about you - threw a full fledged tantrum about it

I found my early 2023 sketchbook and found some cute Muriel x 'old oc I forgot I made' . :)

Muriel and an MC w/ Cat-Like Mannerisms

No I’m not basing this off what my hubby thinks of me shut up.

Can’t stop himself from smiling when you roll over and stretch by the fireplace. Tries to hide his smile.

His favorite thing you do is when you rub your face on him — it’s so endearing and charming to him, it’s his love language now. Expect little nudges back.

Also administration of headpats.

Now knows every particularly warm spot in the hut because you hang around them so often. Either avoids them because he generally runs hotter or sits near them in hopes you'll sit next to him.

Sometimes the warm spot ends up being him and he doesn’t have the heart to say no.

It took him forever to actually go through with it, but he jokingly gave you belly scratches, and LOST IT when the realization of his actions came to him. He was rolling over and stifling his cackles.

Loves your sleepy head more than anything. Droopy eyes and goofy grin.

Arcana bless him for learning how to sleep next to your crazy positions. He caught you upside down once. In BOTH ways.

Ever since his head latched onto the idea of you acting like a cat, he can’t stop thinking about your little snores being similar to purring. He can’t unsee it.

He never thought he would have to describe his (somehow real) partner having zoomies… He brings it up to Asra and they’re just like, “Oh yeah. Hehe.” There may have been an influence…

Arcana M6 as GOW:R Quotes

Asra: “The culmination of love is grief. […] To grieve deeply is to have loved fully.”

Julian: “Death can have me when it earns me.”

Nadia: “We are not our failures. We are not who we were. We must be better.”

Muriel: “It is the nature of a thing that matters. Not its form.”

Lucio: “I was wrong. Open your heart. Open your heart to their suffering.”

Portia: “In moments of crisis, panic does nothing. Harness it, let it serve you.”

🌿 Taduki & Muriel 🌿

Aka scary looking sweetheart and his sweet girlfriend. 💕💕

Calls him hubby, also scruffy bear, also blueberry muffin, also—

The start of the trip with Morga was not working out. Tad can’t walk so far on such different terrain, but they had to get going. Muriel was considering carrying her, but didn’t feel like he knew her enough to ask — until Morga played wingwoman and straight up told Muriel to carry her.

Tad felt horrible about the situation but Muriel assured her, “It’s fine…”

The whole trip, she was very gentle and patient with him, but she struggled with holding back from touching him. She wanted to put her hand on his, rub his back, comb his hair, and she sometimes couldn’t stop herself. Muriel would flinch back, but one day, he let her in. They had to work together.

Post-route, the two agreed to live with each other. She would cook tasty meals and he would clean as always. It was hard at first, but only because Muriel was just getting used to doing the things Asra would do for her. She couldn't lift jugs, chop wood, or go on long patrols, but she found ways to get by.

Some things she could use magic for. A quick dusting, levitation for high up shelves, etc. She also has a knack for crocheting and sewing so Muriel now has a nice drawer full of fitted homemade clothing.

One investment they made was a big futon they could roll out in front of the fireplace for extra chilly winters. Tad LIVES on that thing and Muriel can't blame her... Well, if you can't beat em, join em.

Inanna was standoffish at first but luckily Tad loves to baby animals, and a big scary wolf was no exception. Their naps sync up. 🥺

Due to her condition, Tad’s brain can sometimes be a little empty. Her memory and processing declined and she has trouble with basic tasks. It’s a soft spot for her, so Muriel is just as patient with her as she is with him. He waits as long as he needs for her to finish her thoughts. He reciprocates her actions back to her. He pets her head, holds her hands, and rests his head on her.

May add more hcs! Thank you for reading!! 💕🙏 (Listening material at the bottom)

god i love muriel's route

Lucio and Morga with a Pregnant MC (side hc of Morga’s Family Fav)

Lucio route, obviously. Grandma Morga for the win. I just really love this trio, okay? 😭🙏 MC’s pregnancy could have been traditionally or magically induced.

If the child was conceived by accident, Lucio was definitely fearful at first. Childcare is not his expertise and if he ever wanted to have children with you, he would’ve preferred to have been fully ready for it.

Morga was unusually quiet when you told her the news. Lucio hadn’t told her ANY plans on having or raising children.

Lucio once asked you if the baby would come out flying or glowing or something as a joke and Morga whacked him over the head…

She was very straightforward about asking what you are to do with the child. As much as she’s a stickler for the facts and her morals, she allows herself the benefit of the doubt in your freedom to choose.

Full-on refuses to speak with Lucio for a time. It’s not that she had nothing to say — Oh, she had LOTS to say — but the fact of the matter was that Lucio was going to be a father, whether he was ready for it or not, and whatever she says to him must be for the benefit of you and the child.

She strongly suggests that you stay at her camp for the time being so she can midwife for you. If you bring up the idea to Lucio, he is GOING to keel over and sob. Good for him tbh. You’re the priority right now. He actually ends up agreeing to it because he knows he can’t take proper care of you and the baby all by himself, as much as he wants to.

Grandma Morga for the win.

She appears very often to bring you helpful herbs and check in on you. Holds back a knowing grin when you have to down nasty teas.

When Lucio isn’t around, she shares her pregnancy stories with you, how her husband had to order her to rest, and how she’d dread the frequent visits to the doctor’s hut because she knew he would dote on her all month.

She invites you on patrols and gathering expeditions in the beginning, but by the third trimester, she keeps you closer to the camp, just in case.

The doctor is there to help deliver the baby of course, but Morga herself is there to midwife, just as she’d stated before. She may not be verbally empathizing with you, but she holds your hand while Lucio holds the other.

She thought he’d miss the delivery, but he made it because he was so worried about you. He always made sure he was nearby at all times and reassured you he’d be there, no matter what.

The baby miraculously resembles Lucio, even as a newborn. Their hair is white like snow, so when Morga tells you they look just like him, he’s a little confused, but endeared.

Morga smiles calmly for what seems like the first time since you met her.

She is deeply reluctant to offer you advice on ANYTHING emotional. Though she has respect for her own knowledge on general parenting, she knows she did not do right by Lucio, and often thinks about the millions of things she could’ve done differently. Stops thinking after the first little baby giggle.

Mean, secretly spoiling grandma Morga.

Indulgent, yet “oh god, MC, what if I’m not good enough?” Lucio.

Vesuviella should be a tale ingame its so fantasticly written and it makes me so giggly i would actually pay so much money to see it with the sprites n all ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧

@pawmpkinspice you all need to stop putting ideas in my head XD

When I tell you I would love to do that so bad -

except I don't have the artistic ability to edit sprites and as delightful as it would be to see Julian embodying the slutty fairy godmother on my phone screen idk if it's worth taking a stab at Dorian's game building thingamajiggy (I'm not even sure that's something I could do on their app, I haven't seen anything about slice-of-life crackfics or being able to add transitions/soundtracks on there) T~T

#my gamedev ass is THIS 🤏 close to making this a project

[taduki]

Follow up to the myrrh. Myrrh tastes DISGUSTING !! !!! ‼️‼️🗣🤢

Vesu vesu I’m sorry for clogging ur asks but I’m on this new herbal medicine thing and I’m currently taking actual myrrh like can u imagine MC getting sick and Muriel just immediately knows what herbs to give you? He just hands them to you. 🥺🤲 I personally headcanon herbalist Muriel now. JUST IMAGINE. Late late post-game, Muriel is this awesome mysterious hero herbalist who lives deep in the woods with his partner. 🥺🥺🥺 so romantic and awesome…

@taduki how is this clogging my asks when it's one of the sweetest ideas I've ever read??? T~T

I know canonically that Muriel and Julian Do Not Get Along, but I do occasionally like wondering how they might up being friends post-canon and this is one of my favorites! ^.^

Julian needs foraged resources from the woods to treat his patients, but only Muriel knows where to find them. An unlikely friendship develops with the two of them trading their knowledge of herbal medicines, Muriel helping Julian navigate the forest and Julian bringing Muriel things from town to spare him the dreaded shopping runs :')

anyways, mini thoughts over, thank you for the message, friend!! I loved this :D

[taduki]

Azz, Nadi, and Mimi art I did a long time ago that I uncovered. My past talent eludes me, but impresses me greatly. Do not repost. Reblogs welcome tho.

M6 w/ an MC Who Babies Their Familiars

Asra

Faust is soaking up all of the attention. She is with you all the time and prefers it that way.

She is so situational in her interactions with you. You would be getting ready to boil some noodles and Faust would just appear in the empty pot you laid out. This is her pot now. You must find another one.

Asra was genuinely concerned the first time they saw it happen. Why are you making Faust noodle soup.

Lovesss getting tickled and traveling with you. Pokes her head out to peek at everything. Also, Faust flower crown.

She has a little nest made of yours and Asra’s gift trinkets. Okay, maybe not all of them were gifts… Perhaps they were stolen, but who’s checking?

If you like to, she luvvvs sharing bubble baths with you!! With the wide variety of bath products Asra brings every trip, you never run out of options and adventures.

Julian

Big ol’ crow nose all up in your business.

Always around you when Julian is writing something down because he’s joked about plucking one of his feathers to use as a quill, and now he doesn’t trust him enough to be around him while he works.

Will sit on your shoulder or head and peck at your earrings (or anything shiny, honestly).

Julian is a little jealous.

You make up for it by holding conversations with Malak in front of him. He gets so mesmerized, like are you actually able to understand him?? Asks you to tell him he’s a gander egg* and Malak immediately assaults him in a flurry of squawks and feathers.

He allows you to feed him out of your hand like a majestic fairy. Yeowch. Crow nose sharp.

Portia

How can you not love that kitty face.

She loves sniffing you up and down, head to toe. Sniff her back and she’ll whack you.

Totally a lap cat. Also a head cat. Sits gracefully on either you or Portia’s face at night.

By far the biggest suck up out of the familiars. Snack? Treats? Food time? She rolls all over the floor and yeowls until you give in. For the sake of Portia’s sanity, this may be preferable. Keep the kitty at bay and she won’t annoy her as much.

Portia is both relieved and a teeny tiny bit jealous that you’re the favorite now… She finds it cute when she walks in on Pepi purring on you like a big baby. Little kitty kissies are all over your cheeks and yes, Portia insists on overtaking them with her own kissies.

Nadia

Chandra is NOT baby.

Unless there are treats involved, in which case she is SOOO baby.

She is not a very cuddly, lovey dovey dove. She expresses her love through acts of service like bringing things for or checking up on you.

It’s no secret Nadia loves to treat you and her bird with rich delights. So, if you assist Chandra in luxurious baths or patrols, she will linger around you more often. Nadia is pleased to see her trailing behind you around the palace.

She fixes your hair from time to time. She sees it as a give and take relationship.

As such, she’s begun to imitate your mannerisms. You tilt your head when you’re confused? She tilts hers. You flutter your eyelashes? She flutters hers back.

Nadia is squealing deep down, watching you two mimicking each other.

Muriel

Inanna is a little finicky in the way that she takes care of you like a mother, but will accept any and all belly rubs.

She’s perfectly capable of feeding and caring for herself! With that being said, she likes receiving scratches behind the ears in the bath.

Please note that she does not care for strong, unnaturally scented care products… Last time, you picked up a rosemary scented shampoo, thinking it would be natural smelling enough. Alas, she took one whiff of it and ran behind Muriel’s legs…

Give her the green light to lay down on top of you and, congratulations! It is now your daily nap time!

She’s very careful not to trip you, but loves nudging her head against your legs. You can never tell whether she's asking you for head pats or asking you to move out of the way.

Every time you come back from the market, she's got her nose all up in the bag because she knows you got SOMETHING for her.

Lucio

Now THIS is what they’re talking about!

Give them petting. Give them treats. Give them kisses. Brush them. Hug them.

Is it possible to give too much attention to dogs? You’re not sure what the limit is, but they make it very clear you are nowhere near it…

Lucio starts to get a teeny tiny bit jealous when they start barreling towards you and not him when you guys come home. His initial response is to show great disdain towards them until they feel sorry, but he eventually resorts to sweeping you off your feet so the dogs jump all over the both of you.

Don’t worry. They will cushion the fall.

They like to play peekaboo!! Their big cold ‘n slobbery snouts and puppy eyes are all up in your face. Enjoy!

One sleeps close to your back. The other sleeps close to your stomach. They r pillows. :)

* A gander is a male goose. Saying ganda egg basically means rotten egg.
