The Pasta Place @thepastaplace - Tumblr Blog

Hey guys!

My name is Rao [they/them] and this is my OC × Canon blog, separate from my main blog (pasta-rgb).

This blog is purely for my fan OCs as well as OC × Canon!

I'm more active on insta but I'll reblog stuff here from time to time!

Here are some of my Boundaries:

Proshippers (if you ship incest, minor × adult, abusive ships) DNI

Zionist, racist, queerphobes, ableists DNI, this is no place for discrimination.

No AI or NFT

Non-sharers DNI (TL;DR I've had bad experiences with non-sharers so I don't feel comfortable with interacting with them anymore.)

I love interacting with doubles so feel free to interact!

I love hearing different headcanons, but please be respectful with mine even if you disagree!

In general, please be polite.

Do you think they cried after this

So am I in the wrong thinking that redemption could be possible for Lucio if it hadn't been for the gladiator arena? I like to think of ways he could go about fixing his past mistakes (or apologising and contributing to society), but that's the one where I just... Yeah, no justification at all and no way of having Muriel and him seeing eye to eye. Which sucks really, I think they have a lot in common and could get along in much much different circumstances. I hate how that part is just not adressed in his route. Also someone ban the word oopsie from this man's vocabulary. I do want to love him so bad, and yes it hurts.😖 I like the game a whole lot, but sometimes the lack of serious is exhausting.

Sorry it took so long to answer this ask. I had to think about my response because a lot of people are sensitive about that issue specifically. I’m fairly sure everyone’s biggest problem with Lucio’s ‘redemption’ is the whole Coliseum/Muriel thing.

I don’t think Lucio can be redeemed. Straight up, I think the only thing he can plausibly do is apologize and move on. He can get better and become a whole new person, but redeeming himself after all his crimes isn’t achievable imo.

Honestly, this whole issue stems from the Dev’s bad writing. They made Lucio a love interest, but also pinned every Bad Thing on him instead of making a new character or plot line. And it really messed up his character. If he was a love interest that corrupted the MC, it could’ve worked, but instead they made him some dumb himbo who barely corrupts MC (turning into the Devil wasn’t them being evil—they were desperate.) I hate that his writing is so bad but that’s just the way it is.

This is what I had as an explanation for his thought process regarding the Coliseum (not an excuse, an explanation):

I believe Lucio, once he was in power, started trying to heal (?) from his life in the Scourgelands by enacting his trauma into others (being forced to kill by his tribe= forcing gladiators to kill for him). He was trying to take control over his own trauma by switching his position for victim to perpetrator, and also make himself feel more important and desired. But honestly, every awful thing he did stems from his upbringing because….i mean look at it.

But yeah he’s not plausibly going to save the world and be accepted by the other characters like what happens in his upright. Nothing he does can make up for the things he’s done to others, so redemption isn’t possible. He’s just gonna have to figure it out ig. The game and the devs made an incredible story with lots of interpretations and subtle mentions of darker themes that they were too intimidated to address. Sad fr…….

As a Lucio fan I agree! It's lowkey confusing to me how the writers bring up these serious topics like the gladiator arena, but don't address it whatsoever in Lucio's route.

It also really bothered me how quick they wrote Asra's parents forgiving him. Hell, I'm surprised Asra and Lucio are friends in the upright ending ??? Like idk he imprisoned their parents for TWENTY YEARS (approximately), and yet the narrative seems to move on from it so quickly

I remember when it was a big shared sentiment in the queer community that "sex =/= gender =/= pronouns =/= physical appearance or expression" and. I feel like everyone even other trans people have forgotten about all that except the first part. and in many cases people forget the whole thing entirely

The Lucio yearning is hitting hard today friends....
