Here’s a Carlo and Romeo sketch for ya

[frie-ice]

This collage and the text under it contains spoilers for the Lies of P game, read at your own risk!

On both Tumblr and AO3 there are quite a few posts and fanfics on Pinocchio x Romeo, so I decided to do a collage on them. For those who haven't read the original book or are more familiar with a certain version of Pinocchio that might have kept you from knowing this fact, "Lampwick" is a nickname for Romeo, another reason for people to support the ship between Pinocchio and his human friend. Who ends up becoming a puppet who embodies Romeo's soul and memories, just as Pinocchio is modelled after of Geppetto's late son, Carlos and has inherited some of Carlo's personality. Making him both Pinocchio and Carlo reborn. Carlo was Romeo's best friend he sought after he was turned into the King of Puppets.  From what I could gather something happened to Romeo that led to him being turned into a puppet and when he woke up as one he found himself sitting on a throne he didn't ask for.

In the game ergo is crystallized souls and puppets who look just like the person that soul is of, they awoken as that person. I think that Romeo knows this from how he address Pinocchio as Carlo and had tried to reach out to him, but Pinocchio wasn't able to understand the puppet language he or the puppets he sent to find him spoke, and was made to think that the King of Puppets was behind the Puppet Frenzy. Along with the fact that Pinocchio doesn't remember his "past life" as Carlo, until after he killed Romeo in self defence. Luckily one of Pinocchio's allies at Hotel Krat is able to find a recorded message of Romeo trying to reach out to Carlo, in attends to remind him of the friendship they shared as humans and a hint to who was truly behind the Puppet Frenzy. When Pinocchio goes to the Isle of the Alchemists the ergo in the air allowed him to see Carlo's memories of Romeo, that is what the bottom two images are of. Due to the way Pinocchio was able to give Sophia a second chance at life in one of the endings, some are hoping that he would find away to do the same for Romeo.

Those who treat Pinocchio and Carlo as separate people has also made the "Pinocchio x Romeo" and "Carlo x Romeo" ships appear separate, but I still think that they should be treated as one single ship with Pinocchio awakening more of his "past life" essence as Carlo. That is why some of the ship's few known titles only reference Pinocchio or Carlo with letters of Romeo's name. On Pinocchio's end they are "Promeo" (which is why favourite of the titles since LoP Pinocchio is mostly known as "P"), "Pinomeo", "Rompino", "PuppetShipping", "RomeoP" and "Pmeo". As for the ones on Carlo's end, that focuses on the people they once were, they have gone by "Carlomeo", "Carmeo", "Romcarlo" and "Carom".
