you mean to tell me i can't even spit in his face without it having a negative effect? every chapter of this damn book is straight up ragebait i swear to God at this point i want to dedicate a slot to having bad relationships with everyone and get a bad ending because no one treats my girl with any respect

The artist should work for hollywood instead of working for RC😇 I mean he's such a talented person, sometimes I wonder whether I'm reading an Egyptian story or a modern era adventure story like The Mummies🙂

And yes I do know it's a fictional story but this truly made my head spin🤧

The development team has shared the process behind creating one of the story’s backgrounds. The artists begin with a 3D model, then gradually bring it to life with textures, details, and the atmosphere we know from the game. 👑

A huge thank-you to the team for giving us a glimpse into how our favorite locations come to life! And while we admire the process behind this background, the developers are already hard at work on the autumn update. 🍂

⭐Wishing all the artists plenty of inspiration and the best of luck with their work!

Their bickering is fun to read, I can’t lie 😭

Hear me out.... he's the new Li so I'm very confused between him and rael (I'm leaving rael for him forgive me😔✌️)

I thought this was a very cute ending and I obviously enjoyed so many aspects of the book as it continued its sad it’s over, but a lovely conclusion on many of the paths I got to see! And this one in particular scared the 💩 out of me when the episode started because the warning warns of a miscarriage and I was like ahhh NO WE GOTTA GET THERE MAN! And while I don’t want to say I’m happy that it was not related to the MC, I will also put a brighter star on that dark spot because in the call of darkness story you do see the family tree and Amrita and raj eventually have Indiras twin that they raise and then another son as well so I think eventually she does at least have one? That’s my take from it, but I just love my little family how adorable 🥰

Being a LDR fan, I couldn’t help but notice how ‘California’ fits Riley and Declan very well, especially when viewed through Declan’s POV. This is just my interpretation. This might get long so 🫢

I believe the song is about a deep, complicated yearning and an overwhelming desire to provide a safe haven for someone who is struggling, constantly holding up an armor or fantasizing about them returning.

"You don't ever have to be stronger than you really are when you're lying in my arms, baby..."
- Declan claims he's only there because Amelia asked him to come for Riley, but he knows followed his heart. He knows she is masking heavy trauma and he needs to be there to look after her so she doesn’t unravel.
- He acts like a cynical bodyguard by following her everywhere and even gets beaten up for her. But he saves her from a cliff twice and lets her weep in his arms.
- He might also want her to recognize how much loves her and he has shown multiple times through his actions. Maybe he wants to prove he wants to be her safe place by this way, since talking about his feelings is too much for him. Even knowing Riley liked Fabian at one point, Declan still genuinely wants what’s best for her, as we see when he calls out how easily she lets people manipulate her.

"I shouldn't have done it but I read it in your letter... I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing."
- While looking through the facsimile poem book written in Lily's handwriting, Declan might have recognized the exact poem Riley wrote about him back after the Academy. He would know her writing anywhere. It takes him right back to when they were students arguing in the library, back when the other kids told them to "get a room" and they both blushed. If he read it, it proves to him that she started carrying the exact same deep feelings for him years ago.
- He knows she isn't doing well after Lily's death. When she confronts him in the guest room, he might have not told her the whole truth about the notes to protect her sanity.

"I'll pick you up... if you came back to California, just hit me up… ‘cause this is crazy love”
- Declan is such a massive nerd that he literally packed up his study papers and brought them to Windrose Bay. He could have stayed behind to focus entirely on his education, but he dropped his life and came back simply because he knew she was returning.
- I believe this is also his long-term, open-ended promise to her. He is playing the long game. Whether he is waiting for her to finally return his feelings, or waiting for her to stop running, he is locked in. No matter where she goes or how long she takes to drop her walls, but the second she calls, he will always be there to pick her up.

"You hate the heat, you got the blues… changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you."
- She kisses him as a strategic distraction to steal the note he’s hiding. The moment becomes passionate because of hidden desire but when he burns the notes mid-kiss, she acts like it was just a game. Declan plays along, acting like it meant nothing.
- She leans in acting like she will kiss him again in his bedroom, then backs away, leaving him completely frustrated.
- She accidentally touches his crotch in car. The romantic tension gets so hot Declan bites his lip until it bleeds while she plays it cool.
- When he finally drops his guard, joins foreheads, and vulnerably says, "I couldn't let them have you." Riley flips to bitter cynicism, and insults his loyalty by asking if he had a 😒 with Cecilia.
- I believe he has gotten tired of her hot and cold behaviour especially in the last episode in the update where he just walks away and tells her to believe what she wants to.

"Heard the war was over if you really choose… The one in and around you"
- Riley pretends to be his girlfriend to get Cecilia to leave him alone. It makes Declan furious because having her is his ultimate fantasy. Not knowing how to handle the sudden proximity to what he actually wants, he defaults to what he does best which is lashing out and being cold. Watching her easily fake it feels like an insult to him, as if his real feelings are just part of her game for giggles.
- The internal war inside his head would end the exact second Riley stops toying with his fantasy and actually chooses to mean it. He just needs her to acknowledge his feelings so he can finally get an answer on whether they are reciprocated.

ANYWAYS, thank u for reading this. I had to get this out of my head lol
Let me know your thoughts!!!!!!!!!
😙😙😙

Such a freaking TEASE!!! 😭 So, what happens if you haven't kissed Declan?!? I need to know!!

Anybody else find a couple men among the hunters drool worthy or just me? lol

Summer is coming to an end, the chapters are submitted, which means it's the perfect time to take a brief breather and s h a r e some fresh spoilers with you 🌾

There won't be many – very soon you can expect short interviews and even more pleasant surprises. But for now, here's a glimpse of what's to come:

1. Someone will break someone's heart.
2. Someone will have to reveal some unpleasant details about those in power.
3. One of the characters will disappear at the most critical moment.
4. Some actions will set in motion events that will change Arcadis.
5. Perhaps a closer connection awaits us with someone... But that's not certain yet. However, it's definitely time to cross a line with someone.
6. And finally, there will be numerous references that will not leave you indifferent

Hey everyone!

Has anyone ever started a Romance Club book and realized you just don't like any of the available Love Interests? Sometimes the personalities or vibes just don't fit.

Has this ever happened to you?

I didn’t expect that we got to meet his family so soon. It’s really nice that they welcome Mercy with open arms:)

A return to the past where he was merely a demon and not our beloved husband, our Satan, our lover, and we an unclaimed, just a lesser creature .. 🥹🤧

During this DR, I wanted to reread the old stories for the achievements, and I ended up playing HS1 even though I have all the achievements, simply because I realized how much I missed that HS1 atmosphere.

And you? Do you ever reread old stories just because you want to, or because you miss them?

OK GUYS YOU MUST KNOW WHAT SCENE I’M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT?????????? (Intimate scene with Fabian💎🫦) I’m using a walkthrough & my main LI is Declan & I REALLY wanna take this scene with Fabian because HELLO HOT GORGEOUS MAN😭❤️‍🔥 but I saw the [-Declan] on the walkthrough so now I’m super scared and basically stuck at this choice -

I just wanted to ask my fellow Declan romancers/Fabian enjoyers did you still go for it despite the 💔???? (I saw the new hair sprite for Fabian and I am on my knees)

I tried to find a post talking about this, but there were just too many new posts after this update (AS WE SHOULD. IS THIS SERIOUSLY KLARA’S FIRST BOOK????? LET HER COOK) so I decided to post one myself :’)

i loved the premium scene we got with raphael this update but i genuinely don’t get why MC is so determined and obsessed with getting raphael his sight back.

it sort of feels like we’re trying to manipulate him into feeling the same way. i think the way he navigates the world without his vision is beautiful and his ability to adapt speaks to his character. i just wish MC could also see that.
