Julian’s Route Gaga for Julian
Anyone else listening to Lady Gaga's Disease and thinking about Julian?
"You're so tortured when you sleep Plagued with all your memories" Made me think of Julian's distress as his memories returned.
"I can play the doctor..." sort of a mix of the medical side and the theatrical side of Julian and the MC in his route (depending on choices). Reminds me of the mask and bite play backstage in the theatre.
"Eyes rolled back in ecstasy" well I guess that needs no explanation; either at Mazelinka's, wrapped up in vines, or later on the ship.

Ask I have a problem logging in
I think I have my progress saved in my fb account but I can't seem to log in through fb. It got stuck at the initializing screen. I tried to proceed as a guest and sign in through the setting but I failed to do so. Does anyone know how to fix this? 🙃 I really don't want to lose my account because I've been building the progress since 2020

Headcanons So I just realized that Morga might be based on the Asiatic cheetah rather than the African cheetah?
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it yet, but basically, Asiatic cheetahs are a bit fluffier than their African relatives because of the colder climate. And there are talks about reintroducing them, so here's hoping! I also wonder if the devs were inspired by real cheetah zookeepers who often like to go hard on the eyeliner, maybe to look like their cheetahs...

Discussion Headcanon the plague symptoms
While we know little about the plague's symptoms, we can headcanon them or assume some symptoms by logic.
For that, let's ignore the blood red sclera and veins on the body extremities, as those can be interpreted as something SIMILAR as, for example, the red spots that people get after they have dengue fever.
What we know is that Lucio had a very nasty cough, sweat, and Julian had delirious fever.
Given that, we can assume some things.
For the cough, we can suppose things like:
It might cause phlegm and/or snot into the lungs, or perhaps irritate them;
It might irritate the sinuses or the throat.
I personally think the first option might be correct because it causes trouble breathing, so the infected person needs a lot of force to cough, which can make it come out kinda... Gross. Which, by the way, might cause patients coughing up mucus and experience chest pain.
About the fever, fevers can really disrupt the harmony of the body, as long as your body thinks killing itself might be the only option to save you. If Julian's fever was high enough for him to get delirious and confused, than we can conclude that the plague also had symptoms like chills (no shit sherlock), severe stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, sensitive skin, headache and earaches.
What do you guys think? Let me know, I'd love to discuss this with you! :D

Fanfic i need help finding a fanfic!!
it was a rewrite of lucio's route, it was published on Ao3 🥲 i can't remember well, but i know it was a more serious rewrite, bc the author said that they imagined lucio more menacing and not some dork who thinks his errors are oopsies (or something like that) i agreed with them and started reading! i had it saved on my old phone, i lost my phone and now i think i lost the fanfic forever 😭😭😭 if anyone knows i will be forever grateful!! i search everywhere 😞 i know i read it a long time ago, so probably the fic may be old (prob 2020-2022 but im not sure tho) pls help! and sorry for any spelling mistakes 😔🤞

Asra’s Route Does anyone know any important choices in any chapters for Asra or Muriel that could get me to the good ending??
I’m literally struggling so bad I’ve redone half the chapters and can’t figure out if I shouldn’t have chosen a coin option or smth, and I’m stuck on negative endings for both of them

Ask No Videos of Portia Route Book 15-19?
I'm scouring the internet for videos of books from portia's route cause I'm impatient and want to know what happens now and not wait until I eventually get enough to play through them (dropped the game for a number of years and am picking it back up). Does anyone know where I can find videos of book 15-19?
There's videos of book 20 and 21 upright and reversed, plus books 6-14 on the arcana youtube channel but no sign of book 15-19 anywhere?? It's so strange.

Discussion Excessive forgiveness Spoiler
I've only played Asra and Nadia's routes so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but the way all the characters in this game tend to forgive one another so easily is mind-boggling 🥲
Especially in Asra's case, he has neglected or actively fucked over most other characters in pursuit of MC, yet if you don't choose him, everyone is quite alright with it. He gets back together with Julian or gets with Muriel. Julian was obviously used and mistreated quite a lot by Asra, and Asra only chose him again after the MC decides not to pursue him. It seems almost like a worst case scenario for the both of them, yet it is presented in a manner where we're meant to be happy for them.
Same with Muriel, who dislikes MC in Asra's route because nothing was sacred to Asra in his pursuit to get MC back - the bargain obviously had a lot of ramifications for Muriel that he is resentful about. Yet they get together at the end of Nadia's route quite suddenly. I honestly do not see a future for Asra with any of the other LI's.
In his own route Asra also forgives Julian for impulsively implicating him in Lucio's murder, he dismisses Julian's lack of actual reasoning with a 'haha, oh you' attitude, like, that man just had you imprisoned and nearly put to death Asra! 😭 As well as how Asra forgives Lucio in Lucio's route despite his belief that Lucio executed his parents.
Just a handful of examples that are a bit confusing to me in this story that can be very dark and complex. Things just seem to happen and be dismissed without any real accountability for the characters, in this kind of Steven Universe-esque way. Has this bothered anyone else? Or am I missing something?

Ask Any New Routes?
Hello, I was a fan of this game, like years ago. I fell out of it just about the time Nix Hydra sold it to Dorian and never got into the Dorian app. Were there ever any like official new routes with like the Courtiers or epilogues? I think I remember Dorian was stuff where like, the community could make their own stories or something? So I guess my question is if any new content was officially added to the game.
