Muriel The Arcana - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
I’ve been playing a certain video game…
I give you the main six reacting to an mc that comes from an abusive home? How would they comfort them? Your writing and art is awesome keep it up!!!
This shouldn’t have taken a month or so to answer because honestly, I understand. I apologize deeply for this blunder.
Asra:
Asra understands the pain mc went through if they ever have memories of their past, He doesn’t bring it up first because sometimes it triggers mc and sends them into a panic attack.
He just hugs you and rubs your head and tells you that you aren’t there anymore
He lets you know how much you are okay with him. That you are safe with him because that’s what you need. That comfort and safety.
He tries to take you out every so often to experience more of the world with you and take you away from those depressing thoughts
.Asra lost his parents at an early age and can identify with being an orphan and living off the streets of Vesuvia surviving which could be similar to MC.
Pumpkin Bread and Faust nose boops!
Nadia:
Nadia has had her moments with her family which might not compare to yours but she can recognize the feelings of dread in you.
She wants to give you everything and anything to make you feel better but knows that cuddles, affection, and hugs with small kisses to the forehead.
If you need time to yourself she will give you that. But she will come to check on you herself.
She will let you know that you can trust her fully and that you are safe with her always.
Will get your favorite foods and she will play a song and sing for you. (that alone would make me swoon)
Not the best dancer, but doesn’t mind dancing at all with you and just getting lost in each other.
Tells you she loves you more than anything and always will.
Julian:
Julian has a very interesting past, to say the least but not necessarily an abusive one.He talks so badly about himself but in a funny way like awwww i fell down the steps because I’m so tall and my legs are all the way down there.He can make you laugh though. Takes you out for drinks and lets you rant.Touches your face softly and kisses you Listens with intent.Then he will walk with you and hear you out more, give you some advice, and then moonlight beach swim.Telling you he loves you and you are the most beautiful person ever.
Muriel:
Muriel has a very traumatizing past so he knows full well what you went through
He will be affectionate but it’s subtle
Gives you small head rubs, cooks you food, makes you small charms with your name and hearts, mutters to himself a lot to think of something to say.
Holds your hand
listens to you.
Inanna gives you amazing cuddles and licks.
Talks to you in a calming voice and gives you small advice to breathe and think good thoughts.
Gives you a small kiss on the cheek. Let’s you know that nothing will harm you because he has charms everywhere.
Portia:
Wants to physically track them down and fight them with her bare hands.
Gets angry because you shouldn’t have gone through that but like in a cute way. Like omg I wanna rip their throat out but she’s so small so it’s adorable even though she is serious.
Will carry you to show she can protect.
Cook your food personally!
Touch your face and kiss your cheek!
Pepi cuddles!!!!! will say things like “I’ll fight anyone for you” so adorable and cute
picks some flowers for you!makes you a crown
Lucio
Hahahaha king of the thots everyone. He has a difficult past. His mother and he have a very strained relationship so he knows exactly what you are going through saying Oh I’ve been there!
THE YELLING CAVE!!! “WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY YELLING CAVE?”
“Got this for you? You like it?”
“Will some lovin’ make you feel good?”
“I’m fucking starving for you, how about you?”
“I’m about to give you the best hug ever”
“Hey babe, don’t cry…it’s okay. okay, cry. okay…want me to cry with you?”
“I’ll put their heads on a pike for you, pull hearts out for you.”
“You didn’t deserve that. You deserve gold and jewels and furs and expensive silk, let’s take you shopping.”
“I could kiss your mood better,”Tbh…he does care and love you. Believe that
Vesuvia Weekly: What it's like to hold the M6
~ my submission for this week's prompt - have some sappy headcanon drabble ^.^ ~
Julian
The sounds of leather folding and bending and creaking, of a pent up sigh, of a noble, anxious, too-big-for-its-own-good heartbeat fluttering against those thin, bird-like ribs
The smell of - yes, more leather - with a slight hint of sweat and the faded scent of the crushed herbs used to stuff doctor's masks
The feel of a well-worn, weather tested, oversized coat falling around both your frames, a cold set of bony fingers tangling into your hair through protective gloves
The sight of folded black cloth and slightly dulled metal buttons, a pale neck cradling your forehead, auburn stubble shivering over a bobbing adam's apple
The bitter taste of sea-salty lips, self-sacrifice, and coffee
Asra
The sound of an airy chuckle, a curious whisper, a deep, relaxed sigh, a heartbeat that touches your own with every gentle thump
The smell of smoking incense, sparkling spices, and syrupy vanilla, lurking beneath the petrichor of sunny spring rains on the dust of a far-off highway
The feel of a soft shawl on your cheek, sturdy linen body-warmed and slightly rough under your arms, heavy, heated hands running soothing pathways along your spine, cloud soft curls on your ears, a deceptively slight frame
The sight of golden metal and silvery blue stone on smooth skin, the barely-there rise and fall of a body slowly relaxing into yours
The taste of smoky tea, home, and desperate dedication
Nadia
The sound of rustling silks, the quiet clink of bracelets and rings, the hush of long, thick hair falling over chiffon-clad shoulders, a contented, throaty hum, a lofty heartbeat
The smell of jasmine, rose, pepper, and amber, of warm silk and chilled white wine, of flower gardens and powdery cosmetics
The feel of a heavy curtain of hair against your face, body warmth passing quickly through thin, gauzy sleeves wrinkling under your movements, of strong fingers tilting your chin into her collarbone
The sight of glinting gemstones and finely crafted metal, intricate embroidery stitches swirling across lustrous fabric, scalloped hemlines along sculpted shoulders
The taste of spiced fish, wine, and plush, commanding adoration
Muriel
The sound of heavy, rough cloth slowly dragging across itself, breaths hitching deep and slow, a grumble quiet and low enough to shake the earth, a nervous, powerful heartbeat
The smell of myrrh hanging around you like a cloud, of warm fur and chilly forest air, of falling leaves and running water and smoke
The feel of muscle and scruff, of radiating body heat, of massive, calloused palms alternating between gently splaying over your shoulders like blanketing weights and hovering cautiously around your waist in fluttering, feather like touches
The sight of thick, dark hair falling in choppy lengths over stubble and scar tissue, of thick green cloth over sinew
The taste of grilled forage and mead, of healing and steadfastness
Portia
The sound of an excited giggle, springing footsteps and jingling keys, a happy gasp and unstoppable heartbeat, a mischievous secret getting laughed into your ear
The smell of air-drying laundry and soap, hair oil and cocoa butter, fresh bread and sizzling butter and caramelizing berries
The feel of strong forearms, small, calloused hands, the push of energetic bouncing against your shoulder, of hair flying around your face, the plush squish of a no-holds-barred bear hug
The sight of fiery curls spilling over clean, pressed cotton, freckles speckling creamy skin, the occasional grey and white cat hair clinging to black ribbon, the dusk of a happy blush
The taste of yeasty bread, and the comforts of adventure
Lucio
The sounds of nearby dogs panting, a cutlass clanking in its sheath, the mechanical whir and musical hum of an alchemical arm, a confident, snorting chuckle and a devoted heartbeat
The smell of fresh sweat, warm metal, cinnamon alcohol in a journeyman's flask, hair gel and worn cologne
The feel of a padded, quilted vest, the quick rise and fall of an active chest, the slight tilt of a shoulder forever sloped in favor of a heavy arm, the sinewed grip of a warrior's touchstarved fingers and the cool, metallic touch of a careful clawed hand
The sight of sharp collarbones and glinting curved gold, fine flaxen hair at the nape of a snowy neck, crimson cloth and leather straps
The taste of grilled meat, traveler's wine, and new beginnings
Vesuvia Weekly: Guilty Pleasures (poorly doodled)
Julian
Likes his food very, very salty, and in an effort not to be a burden on anyone who cooks for him, carries at least one pouch or shaker of salt around in his coat. It doesn't matter who cooked it or what the dish is, it's the same routine every. Freaking. Time. He takes one bite, exclaims over how delicious it is, pulls out his pouch, shakes at least half a teaspoon over it, and eats the rest with gusto.
You have tried to confiscate it before important dinner events. It's impossible to find and only resulted him suggesting a body search.
Asra
Gets the midnight munchies like clockwork and it's the only thing about them that follows a predictable schedule. It doesn't matter how much or little he's eaten that day or how busy he's been or what he's been up to - the clock chimes twelve, he pauses whatever he is (or isn't) doing, and the stove salamander prepares itself to assist him in crafting some new culinary abomination. You're welcome to join in!
You did try locking all the food in the pantry once to see what they would do. His response was to playfully threaten to eat you instead
Nadia
Has an obsession for things that go "click". The keys on her parlor pipe organ. The little gears and cogs she tinkers with in her free time. The jewels on the hairpieces she wears over her ears. One time you accidentally burned through half her day because she stopped by while you were threading charmed beads, and she was so hypnotized by the cathartic swishes and clicks she missed three meetings.
You did try taking her to a factory with lots of loud clicks in it, only to find out that it was the wrong type of click and she needed to leave
Muriel
Loves squishy things he can sink his hands into so much he's convinced he's not allowed to enjoy them. Thick moss. Large, spongy mushrooms. Soft, dense furs that have just been shaken and fluffed out. It's so hard not to call him catlike on cleaning days, because his response to the furs that have hung in the breeze and sunlight all day is to sit down, sink his palms in, and knead for several minutes.
Once he found a part of your body with enough flesh on it for the soft skin to well up between his fingers, and he fixated on it for a week
Portia
Likes sniffing coffee beans when she needs a pick-me-up. She hates the bitterness of the flavor of it, and she doesn't need the level of caffeine that drinking it would give her, but the smell of freshly ground coffee beans is exactly the afternoon boost she craves. You didn't know about this until you walked in one day, just in time to see her enthusiastically faceplant into a bowl of them with a loud snort.
Nobody knows what she does with the beans after she's ground and sniffed them. You suspect she uses them as garden fertilizer
Lucio
At first you're convinced he doesn't have any guilty pleasures because he simply doesn't feel guilt for a good time in the first place. You are wrong. On the rare occasion that he fully removes his prosthetic, he likes doodling a pair of googly eyes onto what's left of his shoulder and making it "argue" with the hand on his metal arm. They're named "Willy" and "Spikes" and have their own voices.
You walked in on this once when you stopped to have the elbow piece fixed, to Lucio sitting shirtless on the floor debating cookie flavors
Start drawing art of Asra, without much context or plot fgyrgyrg
I decided to try using rougher and clearer strokes, but I didn't really like the result :')
This right here. We all need to remember this.
PLS BE KIND TO THE DEVS
@thearcanagame
so there has been a lot of ruckus in the fandom bc of muriel's crying sprite and i completely understand and felt let down by it too, bc it ruined the gravity of the scene
BUT
dana and the gang have been working their butts off to crank out quality content for us and sometimes stuff slips through the filter without being checked first. the muriel crying sprite we saw was intended to be a placeholder (like they did for asra) and NOT the final version that would be on the release. they're working on fixing the issue, but probably had a deadline they promised to meet regarding muriel's update.
just take comfort in knowing that a better, heartwrenching sprite is on its way to fill us with angst and suffering! 💞
What if it was the devil/ Lucio who burned it?
Imagine them trapping Muriel and the MC in a realm simular to the arena, and forcing the two to fight. Muriel is furious with the two, so instead of attacking the MC he uses his staff to attack Lucio in a fit of rage.
Muriel's taken aback when he realizes that there was a loud crack from the ghost-like creature, only for the Devil to burst into minacle laughter as he removes the illusion spell. Turns out that the MC was in the place of Lucio, and vice versa.
Muriel is terrified, collapsing to the ground and holding the MC close as he apologized and attempted to despreately comfort the fragile, dying MC in his arms. Looking up to the Devil with disgust, and fear Muriel watches the bag of sulfur get thrown into the fire, as well as glancing down in time to watch the MC take their final breath.
The screen fades to black and starts out with the MC walking through the forest to retrieve an artifact along with Arsa. The MC notices and odd presence, which is non-other than Muriel, but they can't see him. Arsa doesn't remember him, and even Innana is unable to be found. Everyone he ever cared about couldn't see him, he was trapped in a curse of his own making.
Muriel Reverse Ending Prediction
Ok but what if Muriel’s Reverse ending ends with him deciding to be forgotten again. Everything he has done for people brings him only pain, so he decides to run again. Maybe he takes MC with him? (Similar to Asra’s reverse ending)
But how heartbreaking would it be if Muriel snatched your Myrrh pouch and burned it. And the next morning the Apprentice wakes up as if it was all some distance dream.
I got some news for you Muriel, something else might be a bit more unsettling...
Never liked Muriel's ball outfit, so I decided to redesign it. Here's a sketch:
Nunca gostei da roupa de baile do Muriel, então decidi desenhar uma nova. Aqui está um rascunho:
so err i have a bunch of apprentice ocs for the various love interest characters in the arcana. 6-- one for each-- to be exact. i already posted my apprentice oc for muriel to another website.. which was quotev, which took the main social aspect away. and now i want to post them to here
if this post gets 1 note in the next 6.5 hours, i'll post them here
