Welp, I finally caught a case of the ague; the germs always come to get me in February. 😷
But since I'm sick and need some character comfort, I decided to write some purely indulgent headcanons. I literally NEVER post my writings, like, ANYWHERE.
However, there is a sadly small amount of content for You're My Loveprize In Viewfinder, and I've been craving the characters like mad because I've been re-reading it. Plus I thought it could make a sick fan's day someday, so spreading the love. 💓
Slight N$FW Content Warning
Nothing major, only hinting, but better to be safe than sorry.
Also a slight c0c@!n3 reference.
So I hope you guys like it:
You're My Loveprize In Viewfinder Characters when you're sick...
Tumblr media
Feilong:
(I love him so much, he's my absolute favorite, my pretty boy.)
Upon his orders, Tao brings you a cup of medicinal tea probably every hour. It's awful, but Feilong insists it will help, and it very much does.
Feilong rests by your side in his bed, dabbing the sweat from your fever with a cool, cold cloth.
He sings softly to you in Cantonese to soothe you when you're squirming and fussing, because God, you're body is so uncomfortable to be in right now.
He wraps you in his robes so you're warm and cozy, and also to help you sweat out the fever.
Feilong is constantly by your side. There isn't ever a moment he isn't at least within your sight while you're ill. Even if he takes a business call, he only goes as far as the window that looks out over Hong Kong.
You try to tell him that if he constantly lingers by your side he'll get sick, too.
He informs you he does not care by kissing you full on the lips, telling you afterwards as he looks in your eyes that he isn't going anywhere.
Of course, he does get sick.
But you're better by this time, so you and Tao lovingly nurse him back to health, too. 🩵
Tumblr media
Asami:
He insists that s3× is the best way to help you sweat out your fever.
You decline the first few times, but being as persistent as he is, you eventually consent.
It does actually help.
Avoids smoking around you, so he goes onto the balcony if he really needs a drag; but he leaves the door open so he can hear you in case you need anything.
Like Feilong though, he doesn't leave your side if he can help it, and has his men run out for things from the pharmacy, the grocery store, etc.
And if he has to leave, he asks you if you want anything while he's gone, kissing your forehead before he goes.
He leaves his men with you, should you need anything.
But mostly you just sleep if he's gone.
Comes back home with flowers and any kind of indulgent food you like; even if you requested the most simple food, he'll bring you the most expensive and extravagant version of it he can find.
Makes sure you shower every day to help you in feeling better.
Surprisingly, he never gets sick. Not even once.
Lucky bastard.
Bonus:
Tumblr media
Takaba:
He becomes a retriever in every sense of the word.
The second you indicate any kind of sickness setting on, the very first thing he does is run to the nearest store to get you literally every cold, flu, and cough medicine on the shelves and your favorite kind of soup, and any other foods you like.
Stays by you to get you comfy in your bed, lovingly pats your forehead when you sweat, makes sure you have the TV on, makes sure you have tissues and a small army of pills on your nightstand.
He gets sick quite literally the second after you do, but he pushes through it to nurse you back to health.
Will tend to you to the point of exhaustion.
Tumblr media
Mikhail:
(Yeah, I think he's kinda hot too.)
Insists that having a snort of c0c@!n3 will help.
It doesn't.
So much for that.
Next, he has you try out the sauna.
This actually does help.
Good job, Mikhail.
You wake up sweating with him literally wrapped all the way around you.
He sleeps like a rock so you just lay there and sweat out toxins.
Unlike Fei and Asami, he usually goes on with business as usual, so you really only see him at night. During the daytime Yuri sits with you.
Yuri doesn't really know what to do so he just sits and plays cards with you.
You lose, because there's more congestion in your head than brain right now.
Yuri gets angry because he thinks you're not trying.
Luckily Mikhail comes back and tells Yuri you're supposed to be nice to sick people as he kisses you hello.
He makes Yuri apologise.
He does.
Mikhail doesn't understand that you're not supposed to make out with someone who is sick.
So, naturally, it all ends with you and Yuri tending to Mikhail once you're well.
You love him but he's a literal child when he's sick, so you have to keep Yuri from blowing his stack while also taking care of Mikhail's needs.
You throw in the towel when Yuri gets sick, too.
Mikhail's ended up being more satire, but he seems so immature, I really couldn't help myself. I hope you enjoyed, and knowing me, I'll think of something or get further in the series and end up making edits to this post. Have a nice day, and feel better! 💙

How serious should we take the extras? I mean i thought Sensei draws them for fun. something cute and funny so we won’t get bored with only guns to long. but then there are those details like Asami’s Pic with a teddy on Aki’ phone which appears in the main story . That means this extra should be canon.??
This is a good question and one I don’t have a definitive answer for. Short answer: Some are canon, some are not and I don’t think sensei thinks about it nearly as carefully and obsessively as we do. Some are obviously so, like the ones tied into the storyline (Hong Kong extra, Temporary Paradise, etc.) Some obviously not (the businessman extras, which could be interpreted as Aki’s dreams or fantasies, since one of them turns out to be just that.) Same with the silly ones like the vampire bunny and the bear and tiger extra.
Longer answer, IMO:
Love Surprise (New Year extra) - canon
Labor Cameraman Takaba’s Wonderful Day (drinking extra) - canonTakaba Akihito’s Asami Ryuichi Report (from the character book) - canonTemporary Paradise obviously - canonBloody Mary obviously - canonSecretary’s Duty (K caring for sick Asami) - canon (why not?)Hardworking Photographer Takaba Akihito’s Fulfilling Life as Housewife (this one ties directly into story and even includes critical plot information) - canonRomantic Life of Service of Hardworking Photographer etc (onsen/three-way extra) - we now know this is NOT canonFei Long and Tao extra - I’m leaning towards not canon on this one, even though it’s just a dream, mainly because sensei talked about the genesis of this extra and how it was her editor’s fantasy about what kind of seme Tao would make. So maybe this one was just editor service.Takaba Akihito’s Graceful Summer Holiday (beach resort extra) - canonHardworking Photographer Takaba Akihito’s Summer Story (fireworks) - canonHead of Department Takaba Akihito’s Rose Colored Accomplishments (S&M extra) - canon on this one because it turns from one of the businessman dreams to “real life.” But you could argue me out of it if you wanted to, but why would you want to?The Day Asami Ryuichi’s Little Monster Arrived - canon--important canon because it’s a rare glimpse into Asami’s POVOnslaught of Love of Diligent Photographer Takaba Akihito (drug extra) - canon, no arguments accepted on this one, both endings includedMy Fair Prince - canon, but set after the manga, in a future where they’re having their happy-ever-afterAsami Ryuichi’s Little Monster Plus 1 - canon, ties into existing canon and doesn’t contradict anything, gives nice insights into both of them and their desire NOT to have children. I would also place this one after the events of the main story, in their happy-ever-after.The Boss’s Secret Life with Furball - canon, another one that starts as fantasy and is revealed to be a dream, another nice glimpse into Asami’s psyche. Happy-ever-after on this one, too.The Demon of the Guardian Forest Shrine - .....caaaannnnon....? I guess? I mean, it’s a huge coincidence and my novelist heart is wary of too many coincidences, but nothing else really argues against it.Animate Anniversary Extra (Aki working in manga shop) - silly but no other reason for it not to be canonTakaba Akihito’s Finder Warriors - same as aboveAsami Ryuichi’s Halloween Night in Viewfinder - this one, too, dream-to-reality. Happy every afters on these three.Koisuru Finder no Hyouteki - not technically an extra but I think we have to throw this one in, too, as canon because Mizuno and Hiyama’s dads appear in Finder (I forget which chapter--they’re in the background at Sion, I think.) So these stories are doubly tied together.I skipped all the obviously non-canon ones like the businessman ones that don’t tie into the story or the bear and tiger forest story. Ones not marked as happy ever after I believe fall into the gaps of the main story, mostly between volumes two and three and between volumes six and seven, because they have a feeling of a still-developing, somewhat awkward relationship, where the Happy Every After ones feel like a more stable relationship where they are comfortable with each other.
Did I miss any? I feel like I missed one.

The author of The Arcana is hiding their history as a fujoshi and the way they write mlm in The Arcana reflects this.
Tumblr media
On their blog, @thalassiq has multiple posts about their obsession with yaoi. They also explained what yaoi is to their followers. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elle has also watched Finder, by Yame Amano. This is a yaoi manga, about a abusive relationship between a photographer and a significantly older businessman, who rapes him. He is also raped at multiple other points throughout the manga. @thalassiq cheerfully announces that she enjoys these scenes of RAPE, stating:
“akihito has had sex with every hot guy in this manga so far I love yaoi.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finder_Series:
Twenty-three-year-old Akihito Takaba (高羽 秋仁 Takaba Akihito) is a young freelance photographer who takes pride in his work and seeks to get a major "scoop". After he takes photographs of the business dealings of crime lord Ryuichi Asami (麻見 隆一 Asami Ryūichi), Asami kidnaps and rapes him, beginning a relationship between them as they find themselves continually drawn to one another. Liu Fei Long (劉飛龍 Ryū Feiron, Chinese: Liú Fēilóng), a rival Chinese boss who blames Asami for his father's death, takes an interest in Takaba, as well, seeking a way to get revenge. Afterwards, Fei Long kidnaps Takaba, and Asami steals an important document of Fei Long's, which he uses to trade Takaba with.
Tumblr media
Elle also has a history of misusing Japanese language, to the point of being incredibly disrespectful to Japanese MLM. 
Tumblr media
This game claims to be PG 13, but it’s had moments with explicit sexual subtext, and the developers often make sexual jokes/allusions to their characters sex life. 
Is this the sort of content you would be comfortable showing 13 year olds? 
Tumblr media
As per the request of another fan who has asked to remain unknown, here are the issues other fans of color have had with this game. 
For Julian: 
I'm mostly bugged about how they treat him like a joke (the devs and the fandom) 
 * Fans making jokes about abusing him (kicking, punching, and belittling him)
 For Nadia: 
When people expressed their concern with how Nadia was being written (domineering brown woman, the "step on me" stuff), they apologized, but Elle post "women can be doms?" on Twitter
I'm not here for the white feminism
The bath scene has her whole butt out. I've yet to see any Julian art that is sexually charged
For Asra:
*The person I'm talking to said he doesn't like the fact that a lot of Asra outfits look like "belly-dancing" clothes
Or the fact that fandom draws in the feminine clothing to sexualize him* or the fact that he looks really young in his new CG
He also hates how the fandom kept saying things like "Asra sleeps with everyone" or "He keeps running into his ex"
For Julian:
 * I'm mostly bugged about how they treat him like a joke (the devs and the fandom)
 * Fans making jokes about abusing him (kicking, punching, and belittling him)
That’s all I have for now, but if you have any issues/concerns about the representation in The Arcana, feel free to add on.
