haha ourple guy
waaaaaa it'd be so cool for this concept to be explored, bro it's the sort of unspoken bitterness that all the guide sorcerers hold towards their world-baring responsibilities, Alpheratz especially being a prime example of the gifted kid now completely burnt out. After the first great disaster bc many of the great sorcerers died, what the constellations ended up doing was having KIDS inherit the title, therefore the academy preparing for THEM to be the ones at the front lines when cosmic disaster strikes again, but like o(-( I haven't even thought about the fact that all of them have actual NAMES, they're simply not important enough to be mentioned ig :(
actually speaking of sirius losing his identity by becoming a sorcerer do yall ever think about that. when you become a sorcerer you lose your name and become a title and dedicate yourself to the work that comes with it. you dont age, you dont die, you were chosen by a constellation to become part of something greater than yourself. do you think anyone remembers what their names used to be
Sirius. but a little bit of a kitten, because I wanted to... (it just makes me feel better 😞)
Well, in short, I love this man. 🐱😼
Happy Valentines!
Who do you think Hope is giving this to?
It's been a while since I've drawn, I'm honestly surprised that I like the colors
So many WIPs yet I pump this out in 3 days- aaaa HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALPHERATZ!!!
Finals are killing me, sapping my soul from my body. But hey i drew this. I love how Sirius shows up every so often to just drop ominous vague threats and then turns around to become babygirl.
YES!! This was absotutely done on purpose and explains his character in a neat kind of way, like how he's inherently by your side from the very beggining + it's really telling of how summoner was always intended to be polaris in some way
There's also some other cool little astronomy connections which I find cute like how the arcturus star is known for it's orange hue bc of it's temperature (hence an orange boi <3)
^^as well as this maybe being a stretch but maybe explaining his actions on the 12th floor yk 🤔
For sirius I also found out why he's so sparkly and 🌈💅✨️
^^^LIKE IS THIS NOT ADORABLE????
There's also pollux and his twin castor . just look at their constellation it's literally two stick figures holding hands it's great 😭
AND
FOR THE VEGA FANS LOOK I LITERALLY FIND THIS SO INTERESTING !!!!
As a hadestown fan™ I made this connection a while ago but I didn't how much his story line was inspired until I found this
....The connection that vega has to the summoner through their past as childhood friends was inspired by the greek mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice
(((In lots of other iterations of this story, orpheus turns around not because of a simple misunderstanding but more for his inherit axiety in leaving behind his loved one! Example below!)))
12th floor spoiler? vv
Since we know now that the summoner had turned around as a reaction to Vega's hand slipping (and therfore vega staying back at Boundry) THIS POOR MAN IS BERIEVED WITH GUILT AND CONFUSSION!! HIS FEELINGS OF BEING ABANDONED ARE BACKFIRING ON HIM SOMEONE GIVE HIM A HUG!!
Ok and just one more thing .
VEGA TRAILS AROUND POLARIS
DO YOU HEAR ME
THE SYMBOLISM
HIS SUBTLE CLINGY CHARACTERIZATION
DO YOU HEAR ME‼️‼️
Ok I'm done and anyways I need to do a reread because I've realized how much I've forgoten lore if anyone has any other cool astronomy connections I'm all ears 😊
Arcturus, α Boötis // Ivan Kuznetcov
The name Arcturus comes from the Greek word Arktouros, meaning "guardian of the bear," an origin its constellation, Boötes, also shares.
uhh arcana twilight inktober day 7: Void
also guys... this is from floor 5... do ya'll think that Arcturus was actually helping out the Void more than we thought or am I crazy 😭I can't tell if this is confirmed but my personal theory is that the void cult specifically poisoned arcturus at the banquet to put him under their influnce, and he'd then help them operate and report info about mc so that they could plan accordingly, also hence his random headaches (they never elaborate on this line again so there's really no other implication... which is crazy)
This is the worst news of my life
yuri on ice fans how are we doing today chuckles weakly
somebody put little Alphie into a jar while he was sleeping and now little Spica going to cry
Spica: Alphie wake up you have homework to do!
( my man literary a daily reminder for homework)
Arcana Twilight AU where absolutely nothing has changed except Alpheratz and Spica have swapped sleep schedules.
There is not a single other difference.
They still have the exact same personalities, Spica is just chronically sleepy and Alpheratz is an insomniac.
That's all.🧍
me and my little niche interests I hold dear 🫶 ✨️ she/they 🌻 the arcana twilight brainrot is real Also how does tumblr work
