My buddy went Lucio mode for a bit (x)
Keep reading
It KILLS ME that Asra is pretty much the catalyst for everything going downhill in Valerius’s life (with the whole seeing your lover burn to death, having to manage a whole city alone while mourning, the alcoholism and Devil paths) but he might not even know who tf Val is 😭😭😭
Keep reading
Asra fucked both Lucio and Valerius' life zero shits given and I always find that pretty hilarious (but it's also sad ofc). Also this is an interaction I didn't know I needed thank you very much.
Lucio is scared of showing actual vulnerability because he doesn't believe people will like him if he's not at his best 😭. So he has to fake being fine to be 'loved.'
The scene after the Lazaret pulls my heart string because Lucio implies he needs time for himself and think a little before going back to the happy-go-lucky, reckless Lucio everyone expects.
Lucio is way less stupid than he shows to be. He pretends to not see the warning signs and does his best to ignore them.
Asra is bold enough to embarass me, but not dom enough to not self-indulge in Bottom!Asra prompts 👀.
The Winter Solstice side story opened my mind to Kiyo (OC) and Muriel dynamics. Both are quiet and gentle introverts that like animals. While Kiyo's type leans more towards assertive people, he finds Muriel's calm care for animals. . . moe.
"You're and I'm cute so we would make a cute couple!" 😂
Around Muriel, Kiyo becomes more assertive in starting conversations. I guess they could fall in love in a less action-packed story that is Muriel's route where they end up living in the forest having plenty of animal neighbors. Super domestic, maybe cottagore eventually 🤔.
Asra flirting with MC as they dance during Winter Soltice party asdfggg he's so...
EMBARASSING!!!
Asra's most unique quality imo is his thing for eating certain sorts of food. Like that electrifying thing. It's mind boggling.
In the upcoming Nadia side story, MC probably won't refer to Nadia as their wife so I'm announcing that Kiyo (OC) will shamelessly play out his married life fantasy as we read it.
So excited for it 💖.

I desperately wanted to draw some winter content this season, but have been lacking in time. And then I remembered @bastart13 made this gorgeous line art available to colour. This was actually a really helpful colouring exercise, only focusing on the colouring and shading.
Line art belongs to @bastart13
I got the CG! I got the CG!
(I don't really understand the meme but the CG is so memeable I had to do something)
Asra's Heart Hunter cards are so sappy.
I have one left to collect.
Started Lucio's route with himbo OC Kei and terrified at the homoerotic brotherhood potential. I haven't finished the first chapter.
But isn't this game all about intimate relationships without explicit boundaries?
I already starting replaying Portia's route so now I have ROUTE CHOICES. Ughhhh.
I'm curious of players' emotional experience and thoughts who chose Lucio as their first route to play, because there's so much to learn in each route about him, such as his negative and destructive attributes through the eyes of other love interests. I still wholeheartedly empathize with people that do not want to through Lucio's route after playing any other route.
The beginning of Lucio's route always "rocks my boat" because neither the Apprentice nor Lucio has an opinion of one another. Thus, there's none of that jealousy from Nadia's route, or the other feelings and opinions/views Lucio has of the Apprentice in the routes where they oppose each other. It's a clean slate where these two people haven't clashed over and over, each fighting for their own futures and lives.
It also presents the idea that if MC, or any magic user that either put their biases against this [insert any of the things Lucio caused that made Vesuvia as a whole suffer, or a particular love interest] and tried to get answer from the ghost itself then maybe Lucio wouldn't have been a pain in the ass in the other routes (except one). I think this ties to Lucio's theme of "second chances" and "changing for the better" (not sure of the word at the moment). Because everyone hated him, no one investigated the matter further, or they did not care to learn what actually happened to him.
My finger slipped and started drafting another Lucio analysis. There's so much to write about him! This one's about applying the recently learned social concept of The Ideal Victim and how Lucio, despite being a victim, is not granted such status at a societal level when he passed away.
Lucio is officially the Arcana character I have written the most about as an object of analysis in the world of Arcana.
Still wondering if I should change the blog's title but what's there to simp about Lucio? 🤔 Not his pitiful situation for sure.
