#the arcana update

[simarcana]

Yesterday I was thinking about something "dumb" but I'm posting it anyway: no one is here on Simblr TO make content. We're here to have fun, post what we like and most importantly WHEN we like and feel like doing it. Some users worry about notes on their posts, or rush to fill up their queues. It's not a job and it's not tiktok! The simblr community is a comfort zone. Take care of yourself darlings, the world is such an exhausting place already and you deserve some rest at least in your free time!

#Yesterday I was like “i feel numb from my new meds how will i update my story??” #and then oh wait i'm writing for myself you sick fuck brain lol #expect some very casual gameplay next week because my brain is rotten rn #arcana rambles

Slowdown

I've become a little bit burnt out from prepping for my con, my daughter's birthday & the Minor Arcana, so there will be a bit of a slowdown in production of new cards. I think I just need a looser schedule. 😞

But I am NOT stopping, just slowing down. We have come this far & there are only 3 face cards left + 26 pip cards (unless I torture myself with more.)

60/89 cards

29 cards left for a full deck! (Maybe +2 but I'm not sure yet.)

Mona with Mavis vs Mona with David during the event

#dislyte #Im a little disapointed Arcana isnt there with Mona since they are a package deal #but I do enjoy seeing Mona interact with her other coworkers #also why is Mona so gay coded #or is it that she gets to interact with obnoxious guys who dont match her energy? #regardless you can bet Im enjoying this update as my girl is getting the spotlight for once #she is one of the OGs after all

[do-you-know-this-queer-character]

hey i noticed an anon mentioned submitting a lot of arcana characters and i wanted to pop in to say that that game is a racist, fetishizing mess. not only do they have a brown character who is kept literally in chains and is a vessel for one of the writers’ thinly veiled bucky barnes slavery kink, one of the bad endings features their fantasy-jewish-coded character turning into a literal bird, not to mention his numerous bird motifs.

between asra, nadia, and julian, asra and nadia are clearly more sexualized throughout the course of the game, even when fans have asked them to tone it down and stop fetishizing their “exotic” brown characters.

the fandom is and has been historically overwhelmingly hostile to fans/people of color who try to mention these problems. fans of color trying to dissuade people from writing nadia as a step on me dommy mommy queen have been shut down by elle trying to spin it into a “women can be dommes too!” issue, when the problem is that nobody would be treating nadia like this if she was white. asra gets his paid scenes hijacked by the white LI and then is painted as the toxic one in his and julian’s relationship (of which is only there due to elle’s mlm abuse fetishization) because god forbid their favorite white boy isn’t a perpetual victim.

outside of the game itself, dana rune has run a fanzine about an incestuous fire emblem fates ship (corrin/ryoma/xander) and further information can be found at the relations_zine handle on twitter. she may have scrubbed her name from it but it’s clearly her art style lmfao, and iirc she’s still in the followers/following list on that account. elle has a long history of fetishizing mlm abuse/slavery/“yaoi” on their tumblr that they’ve since deleted, but like. i googled “elle thalassiq fetishizing mlm” and immediately found posts with thorough screenshots so it existed lmfao. and even if it didn’t, it’s very evident with how they treat asra/julian/muriel.

this is heated and not thorough, but i’d like to end this by saying that this is coming from a former fan who eventually had to leave the game and fandom altogether because of the compounded issues that were never addressed, brushed under the rug, or actively encouraged time and time again. do not play the arcana. there are better games out there. and the last i was in it, the fandom was a toxic cesspool that would attack anyone, especially fans of color, who ever voiced a dissenting opinion about anything in the game. i hold my queer media to better standards and you should too. this game does not treat dark, heavy topics with respect, it treats them as fetish fodder.

Okay, I figured something like this would hit this blog eventually. The point of this blog is not for me take a stance and say what media is good and what media is bad. I am not brushing off your concerns - that’s a whole lot of awful information, and from me posting your ask, people can make their own choice about wether they want to engage with the game or the fandom. But I am just one person, and I don’t know anything about 90% of the media that is submitted here. If I excluded every piece of media that someone said was below a standard, I wouldn’t have any media left. This blog is simply a recognition game, I’m not trying to promote these pieces of media. I’m not saying that because they have queer characters that they’re fantastic or anything like that. I’m not taking any stance on any of it, actually.

This isn’t about the quality of a media, the quality of a fandom, or the quality of the representation that a character represents. It’s just a recognition game.

I am not going to get into any of these debates myself, since I know almost nothing about most fandoms here, but if you have serious concerns with a particular media posted here, send in an ask like this detailing the problems and I will post it, so that people looking at this blog can see valid criticisms before diving into a new piece of media.

As a further note, racist and antisemetic comments or tags on any post will be blocked on sight.

I will tag all asks like this with “media critical”.

Firstly we have Pollux from the otome Arcana Twilight! I highly recommend it!

Next, we have myself and Kenma! My sister bought me a nekoma hoodie with Kenma's number a few years ago, and I was inspired!

Next here is just a random doodle from my favorite anime/manga Toilet bound hanako kun!

Here is a lil drawing of one of my comfort characters, Sal Fisher<3

And then here we just have what I like to call 'I just started drawing and idk what happened'

✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Gosh, some of these were drawn forever ago! But I'm almost finished with this sketchbook, so I thought I'd share some of the stuffs in it!

Art/Writing Progress Sneaky Peakies

I'm going to try doing this every Wednesday from now on because I keep starting new projects without finishing them so HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS. About Benate, my ARTW OC, they've been put on the back burner in favor of my recent change in interest being Genshin Impact. I started making another two OCs. Without finishing the first, I'll post a bit about Benate on Friday.

First here's some art sneaky peakies!

And now, the written pieces! Only a little! A little bit about the characters Benate ARTW with Lennon and Calida form my GI AU fic that has yet to see the light of day.

GI

The Siblings Lennon(Lee) Laugen [they/them] ENBY AFAB Aroace Spec. Kätzlein Head of the Laugen Clan

Calida(Cal) Laugen [She/They] Trans MTF ENBY AMAB Pansexual Kätzlein of the Laugen Clan

Though their Clan only consists of Calida and themself they’ve kept the Clan title despite not having much of a pull in Mondstadt of notability.

Pinterest Boards

Lennon's Pinterest Board

Calida's Pinterest Board

ARTW

Benate(Teddy((Bear)) Iris Mellamore [They/It] NB

Their silence is often seen as being shy, or as some may say, it is incredibly introverted.

Also, I've been putting some work into what I may put on an Etsy shop in the future, that being Communication Cards! That is what the middle image is a lil sneaky peaky of!

Just some Writing Updates

I feel like I'm constantly apologizing for this, but just to be clear for my own conscious, I'm really sorry I haven't been able to do much writing or post much fanfic currently!

School's just really kicking my ass right now and it's a very reading and writing heavy semester so my fingers tend to be kinda dead by the time I get some free time.

I'm still sorting out my schedule, seeing how long it takes me to do things, and working around extra events whether they be extracurricular (I'm gonna be strapped to an EEG for a psych experiment how exciting!!) to personal life (traveling with family, upcoming birthday parties, etc) But I'll try to write some things out.

I do have a lot of WIPs started, so I'll try to finish a few of them and have them posted eventually, and I have a lot of AUs and other content I really wanna share!

And then, of course, there is the Hermit's route fanfic. I do still really wanna work on it, but it seems like a very daunting task and It'll probably take me a while to finish it still considering how little I've been able to work on it due to school and life and how big of a fic it seems to be on outline alone. I do want to finish it though. I want to at least share it with others, but I'm really curious:

does anyone really even want to read it anymore? I'm sure we've sort of come to terms with the ending of Muriel's route in the arcana, and while I've planned on writing with much more magic and general variation in the story (though the core moments stay the same) I'm not sure if it's really... needed? anymore? I don't know. I'm tempted to just call it quits and write out a list of headcannons, and the general plot I had planned but I'm not sure.

If I go on with this, I might try to work on the story for NaNoWriMo. It'll be difficult between my classes, but worse comes to worse, I might give myself a little extension into December. To complete it then.

I don't know :/

Again though, I'm really sorry I haven't been writing much, and I really hope to squeeze in some writing soon. It makes me sad to see Muriel's hashtags only ever really gaining a few fics every so often, and not even really anything entirely devoted to him. I'm happy to see people talking about him at all, but still.

I hate that I feel an obligation to write, as if it's a job and not something I do for fun because it always makes it so much more harder for me to start in the first place :(

I really wanna write for Muriel some more. And maybe a little bit for Optimus as well. I'm sorry that I can't.

Ah, well. I'll get my writing time in there eventually.

Anyways,
