#making a future (Lucio)

[ruby-red-selfship]

Oh, I know we’ll meet again, some sunny day…

Hi, Welcome to my self shipping side blog :3

I’ve been self shipping for quite some time for coping/fun and I figured I might as well make a blog about it. So here’s some lil guidelines and helpful info!

- follows back from @sillygamertime

-doubles welcome, though I understand that’s not everyone’s thing!

-will generally be SFW due to my raging asexuality, though swearing and suggestive themes are likely

-current favorite will be on the banner!

TAGS FOR F/Os are as follows!

#ceo entrepreneur = Handsome Jack from Borderlands (platonic, what if we were fucked up doomed besties energy)

#missed me sugar? = Moxxi from Borderlands

#a rowdy raven = Julian Devorak from The Arcana (INCLUDING REVERSED ENDING!)

#sparks in the dark = Stolas Goetia from Helluva Boss (platonic, found family energy)

#consummate flirt = Sylvain Jose Gautier from Fire Emblem: 3 Houses (qpr? Platonic? Figuring it out)

#lavender roses = Camilla from Fire Emblem: Fates

#radio isn’t dead = Alastor from Hazbin Hotel

#sanguine stars = Astarion Ancunin from Baldur’s Gate 3

#practical as hell= Jason Todd from DC comics

#making a future = Count Lucio from The Arcana

#heal the world = Harry Osborn from Earth-1048/Marvel’s Spider Man continuity

#eddie my love = Edward Nigma/Nygma from DC comics (Arkhamverse/Gotham)

#both haunted and holy = Viktor from Arcane (qpp)

#my baby my baby = Jinx from Arcane (familial, daughter/little sister found family vibes)

ALMOST CERTAINLY MORE TO COME

Anyway STAMP COLLECTION AND DNI TIME

-DNI is pretty basic, this is a discourse free blog but just to touch on “problematic sources” as long as you are avoiding monetarily supporting awful people we’re chill. No ethical consumption under capitalism and all that, you find comfort in what you find comfort in. I self ship w Alastor and hate Vivz*e, Stolas too but tbh that one is fading, regardless the point is if I see a Draco Malf*y f/o haver interact I’m not gonna block you unless you’re extremely annoying ab JK support

- also I’m uncomfy with minors following due to the fact that I’m 21+ restating that here bc it’s important!

-Also if I self ship w someone you’re not sharing and I missed it, let me know. I try to catch that and read every F/O list, message me if there’s confusion or I fuck up and I’ll see myself out!

sometimes I feel conflicted when people tell me kaiho looks huggable bc on one hand that's the compliment every fat character gets but also I made kaiho with the intent to have him look somewhat comforting so like mission accomplished I guess(? idk??

[mantequillamcwhoremick]

I might be late to this but I just noticed that in "City Part of Town" Kenny is actually not sitting in the class, meaning it's canon that he does skip school to instead go to work

Lucio's Market [Restaurant, Grocery, Teaching Kitchen] ♥ The Sims 4: Speed Build // CC

Lucio's Market is where culinary passion meets community connection! Nestled in the heart of Anchorpoint Wharf, this venue seamlessly blends a fully stocked grocery store, a dynamic teaching kitchen, and a cozy restaurant—all under one roof. [Lot Can be set as a restaurant, generic, or retail]

➽ Speed Build Video

➽ Rheya's Notes:

♥This lot has been semi play-tested. ♥To make the Grocery part of the build functional, you can turn this into a retail lot. There are also grocery mods available such as SS realistic cooking mod and the Bulk Grocery Mod. Please keep in mind that I did not follow any requirements for these two mods as the grocery part of the build was made simply for aesthetics and storytelling. You are welcome to make adjustments! ♥We do not have a teaching kitchen venue option in the sims 4, however, the gameplay can be achieve with some imagination! You can turn this into a generic lot and simply have your sims cook/bake together on different stoves simultaneously. ♥Lastly if you want this lot to function as a restaurant, simply change the venue lot type in build mode. I would recommend downloading LittleMsSam's lock mod to lock the testing kitchen's door. This will prevent customers from using the kitchen appliances!

➽ Important Notes:

● Please make sure to turn bb.moveobjects on! ● Please DO NOT reupload or claim as your own. ● Feel free to tag me if you are using it, I love seeing my build in other peoples save file ● Feel free to edit/tweak my builds, but please make sure to credit me as the original creator! ● Thank you to all CC Creators ● Please let me know if there's any problem with the build

Gwendoline Christie interview on After This Death at Berlin Festival 2025: Mystery, love, loss, & artistic evolution

Gwendoline Christie delves deeply into the enigmatic world of After This Death, a film she describes as a visually stunning mystery that abstractly portrays a woman's journey through foundational life challenges such as love, loss, and grief. Christie reveals that the film's intricate narrative evolved significantly over the 15 years it took to develop, embodying a dreamlike quality that captivated her from the start.

Her connection with director Lucio was serendipitously formed during a pandemic Zoom meeting, where she expressed admiration for his previous work, "End of a Century." This meeting led to a collaborative effort on After This Death, where her role as Alice was initially small but expanded over time, reflecting the fluid nature of creative projects. Christie portrays Alice as a stabilizing force, bringing support and tenderness to the narrative, which navigates complex themes.

Christie underscores her commitment to independent and art-house cinema, highlighting the importance of supporting films like "After This Death." She reflects on its thematic exploration of self-discovery and artistic expression, praising its genre-defying and provocative nature. This makes it a perfect fit for the Berlin Film Festival's celebration of human complexity and art.

As she anticipates future projects, Christie emphasizes the value of collaborating with artists who inspire growth and creativity. Her passion for storytelling and art is evident, offering insight into the making of a film that challenges and transcends conventional cinema. Join us for this compelling interview, where Christie's dedication to her craft shines through, providing a glimpse into a film that pushes the boundaries of traditional storytelling.

How could they pull from Scottish punks and end up at that final result? Not even a pseudo kilt silhouette like how Kiriko has a pseudo Miko Shrine Maiden garments silhouette? Hazard should have had pushed shapes (sell the turtle aspect more, add more spikes) and more body mods (funky prosthesis or punk body mods, the lizard/snake man punks are free inspo).

For a punk 'freak' hero that uses bright graffiti, his design is much too plain and 'safe' imo, not colorful enough. I much prefer that cartoon icon we saw in Venture's trial because he does look really punk with a metal jaw and green hair, possibly cool yellow shades too?

When I first saw Hazard's official design I honestly thought it was a Rein skin. I just hope future skins for Hazard are more punky. JunkerQueen and Zarya both have rather punk-y skins, and Lucio has a concept art based skin, so I am hoping for something more "out there" and fun for Hazard.

Punk is not, and has not, ever been 'conventionally attractive and palatable' and with Hazard's backstory, him being intentionally 'outlandish' would have only reinforced his outlook and story.

Like, people don't love Rein because he's eye candy, they like the hero fantasy of a big knight, being a shield, that he fights for others bravely. People don't love Doomfist because he's eye candy, they love him because his mechanics are hard to perfect but rewarding to land, and his sophisticated antagonist plotline is super engaging, and the hero fantasy of a big powerful genius with a giant fist is badass!

But Hazard? He's eye candy, sure. Got some piercings, but so does JunkerQueen. Plain black leather jacket and pants... okay but Young Cass and Ashe in general do that too. Hell, a young Tracer(in the comics she had a very punk hairstyle) was way more punk than Haz was as a teen. I don't understand why they didn't PUSH his punk design further, when we have characters like Roadhog and JunkerQueen on the roster already. Hazard is very conventional for an overwatch design, he looks like he could be a side character in a gang instead of a main hero... Boomslang(viper Phreaks member) atleast has interesting shapes on her design! The Junkers are scrappy and DIY-low end tech (scrap guns, explosives, knives) survivalists, so imo the Phreaks could have been like a Sombra-version of Junkers, cyberpunk but WAY WAAAAY more out there with wild body mods and DIY high end tech (plasma weapons, energy swords, multiple arms, etc). I did peep a retractable energy sword from Hazard in the cinematic but why not just build a nonretractable sword into his base design instead? He already has a gun arm (like Orisa).

I really do think the metal jaw would have made Hazard instantly recognizable, but man, atleast keep the toxic green spiky hair!!! Haz is brunette, so why choose blonde as the 'punk' color when his body shape is already so similar to Reinhardt? Doomfist already has a "one arm is a weapon" so that's not Hazard's iconic detail, Mauga is already shirtless so that's out as an iconic detail, and the crystal spikes aren't nearly present enough in his design to make it out like that is his iconic 'thing' imo. Meanwhile, look at JunkerQueen: she is somehow MORE punk than Hazard who is intentionally being punk. And even then, I think people forget JunkerQueen has mag tornado powers in her gauntlet. Many Overwatch 2 heroes struggle with visually telling the players what a hero is/does via the design. And don't even get me started on Venture's nonsensical jacket design lol. Juno and Hazard feel like the designs where 'simplified' from concept art so that making skins for them would be easier. Juno looked better with the armor pieces, and Hazard would look better with green hair and a metal jaw.

This is me coping with Lucio's absence from Madrid bc like Adele said we could've had it all but life is a bitch and said "no fuck you"

Someone sold me to the idea of Danya from Ziferblat x Lucio, and then I saw his Tiktoks and how sad he seemed because he wasn't there and this was born

Disclaimer - I adore Ziferblat, and their entry, but I don't know much about them, so if they seem a bit OOC, that's why. Forgive me! Also I found many ways to write Danya's name but I stuck with the one I liked the most! That's why you'll find it written in so many ways in the tags!

And if you're Italian (I'm looking at the girlfriend here who is, in fact, Italian and follows me) - don't judge me too hard either.

Content under the cut!!

-----

Spring. Beautiful spring, full of colors, flowers and the scent of freshly bloomed plants. Despite Ukraine being quite cold, the flowers still grew, and Daniil loved them. He kept dried flowers between book pages as a reminder of the beauty of the world. Even when snow covered the ground, there would always be a spring worth waiting for.

April. Spring in full swing. Spain is beautiful. The crowds are beautiful. It's tiring, the life of a musician, more when you're going to one of the most watched events worldwide and you have the pressure of holding the flag of your country high, knowing they're famous for having a place always secured in the final. But it's all worth it - friendships, kind people, the most beautiful gestures flow in nicely.

Pretty flowers blooming in a garden.

The prettiest of all wears mime makeup.

Lucio Corsi is an enigma Daniil was never able to decipher. Not that figuring out a person solely based by their music and almost inexistent social media presence was easy or accurate, anyway. But today, today's the chance. The chance to share music and talk to each other about old school idols, like Genesis or Peter Gabriel.

And yet, Lucio seemed to be even more beautiful without his makeup, dressed in his vintage clothes. He looked like some sort of rock and roll deity, an angel of music that inhabited old records and came to life after devoted prayers in the form of music. Despite his broken English, he seemed to get by perfectly. And Daniil would try to make things easier, as much as possible anyway.

Between cigarettes and laughs in one of the balconies, the night goes by. Lucio has chosen not to attend the party, and Daniil invents an excuse to stick by him. To sit beside his slender figure and listen to him play the guitar. The way he moves his hands is almost hypnotic. Lucio seems magical. Magnetic, even.

"You have good taste", the heavily Italian and broken English make the phrase sound even better. "And your song... Beautiful. I like. Like a lot."

"I like yours too", Daniil replies. "I think, you have a pretty good chance to win this whole thing."

"You think?" Lucio smiles wide, eyes beaming. "You exaggerating, come on. I come to show my talent. Not know if I can win but if... If... Cazzo, che parola è..." He mutters under his breath, trying to remember. "La gente..."

"People?"

"Uh, yes, thanks", he nods. "If people like what they hear, I'm good. If people like my music, I'm happy."

"You'll be very happy then, because people love your music and your message and all you represent", Daniil smiles too. "And, you know... I was waiting to meet you. Because you're one of my favorite contestants out there."

"Appreciate it. Very much. Thank you."

Daniil doesn't even know when his head ends up resting against Lucio's shoulder, but it seems he doesn't mind it. The both of them look up, at the clear night sky. A bright future is in store. No matter the results in Basel, this night is already a win in their books.

Lucio's got a very distinct smell. Cigarettes, a cologne he can't really identify, but has notes of wood and vanilla, and something else. Something that's indescribable. It feels like being home. And being so close, this mixture is enough to become a replacement for oxygen. A drug. A need. A want.

Would it be okay to want? To long for this?

...

But then Daniil opens his eyes.

And all of a sudden, he remembers where he truly is. A hotel room, empty, and illuminated by a single lamp. It's late, and he doesn't bother to check the time. Why would he? When he got under the sheets, he didn't want to check anyway. He just hoped for a miracle to happen and those don't require a specific timeframe.

But alas, miracles do not involve turning back time. They also don't involve changing everything to accommodate his wishes. And the world wouldn't stop just because one of his wishes didn't come true.

Lucio Corsi was absent.

He had been very excited about this encounter, planned the conversation in his head one and a thousand times, asked around the staff, and waited patiently, and what for? Just for life to have other plans. He hadn't realized just how much this had affected him until now, though, because waking up brought a wave of sadness that hit him in the back of the head strong enough to make him curl in the sheets and want to fall asleep again to pick up the dream right where he left off.

A knock on the door, and his brother enters his room, looking softer than usual when he sits on the bed. Seems like the continuation of the dream isn't happening any soon.

"Up already, Danya?" He asks, a bitter smile on his lips. "Still bummed about it?"

"I... I don't know, I just woke up", Daniil stretches his arms. The half lie slides out so easily it makes him want to be more honest. "Judging by the headache, I'd say I am."

"Man, I know how much you wanted this to happen. You've been talking my ear off about his song and meeting him today. I don't blame you."

"I know, Valya..." The singer looks out the balcony door, at the barely visible moon in the distance. A loud, dramatic sigh escapes his mouth. "Now it's just a waiting game until Basel... But I wonder if we'll even have the time..."

"Hey, anything can happen", his brother nods. "I'm sure things will eventually sort themselves out. But anyway... Do you wanna grab a bite? We have some time to spare."

"Hmm, guess so", Daniil sits up on the bed and stretches his neck, one side at a time. "I wonder... If he'll want to meet me, though..."

"Of course he would, come on", Valentyn pats his shoulder. "You're his number one fan, after all. I bet you were dreaming about him when you napped."

The singer feels blood rush to his cheeks at once. They're twins - there's nothing he can hide from him at this point.

"Ah, come on, Valya..."

"Hah! I'm still the superior twin, I can read your mind", he teased. "Now come on, Danya. You need to switch gears and I'm here to help you with good food. Let's go!"

As Daniil put his shoes on, he couldn't help but think back to his dream. He remembered the warmth, how it felt to lean against Lucio and how comfortable it all was. How would the dream have continued? Would he have mustered the courage to go further? To caress his hands, feel his skin, move closer?

To see if home was within Lucio's lips?

His heart started pounding with force at the thought. Maybe, just maybe, things were more than they seemed in the surface, but he still didn't know about it very well.

For now, all that was left was to hope the bird of pray, carrying his hopes and dreams, could reach Lucio safely in Basel.

That his feelings could wait just a little longer.

Lucio Corsi once said:

"This world doesn't have to be perfect like a flower or hard like a stone, but it's difficult to be in the reality. It's difficult to be strong and perfect. And it's hard to stay in balance on a spherical world, like try to stay in balance on a ball it's difficult."

"I like reinventing the past. Because the future is sorprendente."

Francis: With the lyrics you can reinvent your past and make the past surprising and do stuff that you never did.

"They have a soul. Instruments are magic things. And they can stay silent way more than human beings. We have to learn from the instruments how to stay silent."

"The costume is the same costume that I use for the last 4 years. And the bolero is distrutto. But I love this fact because they remind me all the performance, all the time.

Paolo Conte, an Italian songwriter, said that on the stage you have an appointment with the music, with the song. So you have to dress in the better way you can because you meet the people, but you meet first the music."

Lucio Corsi once said (part 2)

[wisteriaiswriting]

I have a quick question if you don't mind me asking. Can you please do one where a gender neutral reader is a secret singer? Like they walk on stage and their partner recognizes them even with a costume and makeup. Can I please request Hanzo, Genji, Moira, Lucio, Ramattra, Zenyatta Junker Queen, Junkrat, and Roadhog to be the ones who are the partner who figures out that they're dating a popular singer.

𝕄𝕒𝕤𝕜𝕖𝕕 ℂ𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕓𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕪

Words: 476

It’s likely he found one of your costumes while searching for something, so he looks up who wears it.

Lets you confess when you’re ready, not wanting to push you.

When he finds out one of the first things he does is search for your music and start listening to it.

He was already a big fan before he found out who was under the mask.

Will use his ‘connections’ for some free merch. Repaying you in kisses and cuddles, anything you want really.

Please let him try on one of your costumes. It has been a lifelong dream of his ever since he found out about your songs.

She has never been one to care about music or singers, so Sombra will be the one to tell her about it.

While she won’t actively confront you about it she’ll drop hints, quoting lyrics, costumes. Letting you tell her at your own pace.

She’s honestly choosy about her music taste, so if she enjoys it that will be that only thing she’ll listen to

Lúcio is unnaturally quick to notice, finding some quirks and habits that match exactly.

No matter the type of music you sing he will want to collab.

Please let him help you come up with songs and future costumes! He is surprisingly good at fashion sense, he’ll make matching ones.

He’s never been a fan of music, normally complaining about it as he sees no use of it.

Looks into you when other omnics talk about your music. But that doesn’t last long as he notices quickly.

He will confront you about it, but he won’t stop you. Just makes sure you’re safe by sending omnic guards, filling most roles with them.

She will brag, there's no way around it. How the queen of junkertown is dating the most famous singer. (Don’t tell her otherwise please.)

But it’s highly likely another junker will have to tell her as she’s busy with running the town.

She’ll want to make you a costume. Just… don't let her make it, she can help but never let her make one.

When he notices he won’t be able to shut up about it. Everyone will know soon enough.

As much as he wants to help you with show lights please don’t let him, something will happen and go wrong.

He’ll raid many places just to find a radio or something similar, when he does your songs will be played constantly.

 At first he’ll be quiet about it, unsure if you want people to know. If you do, he'll start mentioning it in conversations.

If you need help he’s one of the few people that can help, although some tasks might be difficult to impossible with his hands.

If you have merch he will want some, especially if it’s on the cuter side.

[ruby-red-selfship]

Love having multiple F/Os from the same source bc then you see many arts of Pookie and Pookie together :3

And sometimes two of your F/Os canonically HATE each other and there’s many arts of Pookie and Pookie fighting

Relationship chart for Lark. I may end up making a new MC for Portia and Muriel down the line bc I do enjoy Lark's friendship with both.

Transcripts of the text under the cut!

Going clockwise

Nadia

They literally do the "find me in the future" bit. Literal soul mates.

They at least flirt in every route.

Julian

Lark > *Shaking him* take care of yourself or so help me-

Julian > You're telling me I can get manhandled by a handsome magician?

Lucio

I need to be a fly on the wall for their beef.

Lucio > Nadia's route proved that they're hot enough to be a romantic threat

Portia

Started flirty but Lark ended up doing every route where they end up friends.

Muriel

Lark > Respectable. Mostly glad that Asra has a reliable friend. (Fun to tease)

Muriel > Asra and most animals trust them so they seem trustworthy.

Asra

Lark > Best master and why they're receptive to cattier friendships

Asra > Gave up their heart to bring them back. Thankfully happy to see them happy.

[rasby]

How the M6 laugh

This one has the most "x reader" vibe to it. I tried to keep it vague before but idk this feels a lot better in my opinion (will probably still keep it vauge in the future tho :))

Asra

• A lot of wheezing

• A lot of that silent laugh with flappy hands

• When he says he's "rolling", he means it

• Very often starts to cry as well

• If he makes noise it's a mix of "Hehe"s, "Hihi"s and "Hoho"s

Nadia

• Mostly chuckles

• If it's really funny she'll let out a "Haha" but never goes over the top

• Also does the occasional "Ohoho" when you two are alone

• You've seen her laugh so hard she snorted only once, but she was drunk and definitely does not remember that happening

Julian

• Chokes every time he laughs

• Snorts very often

• Hasn't yet cried of laughter, unless you count tickle torture

• Has that kind of...almost evil laugh vibe sometimes

• Cannot keep quiet, he may be an actor but if it's funny, it's funny! He has to let it out!

Portia

• Laughs often

• Everything can be funny

• Snorts a lot aswell, which then turns into even more snorting and laughing

• Also subjected to crying of laughter

• Likes to kick her feet when she laughs or giggles

• Has a VERY infectious laugh. If she's laughing, everyone is laughing!

Muriel

• He doesn't laugh, what do you mean

• He never laughed in his life

• Is what he would say

• But you make it your mission to try making him laugh as often as possible

• You mostly get a smile and maybe and exhale of air through his nose or a quiet "heh"

• Tickling doesn't work either, he's a stone

• Once, ONCE you've seen him laugh really hard

• It sounded more like a croak honestly and he kept hiding his face

• But it was all you ever wanted <3

Lucio

• He likes to laugh

• He doesn't do it too much because he's scared of the wrinkles he'll get

• But around you, sometimes he can't help it

• And damn it, it feels good!

• Has a bad habit of hitting things (and people) when he laughs

• He likes to scream instead of laughing like a normal person

• It doesn't sound evil...more maniacal

[iridescent-solstice]

The chilly breeze engulfed you in a gentle hug. Yesterday it was suffocating . . . but today, it's comforting.

Or maybee . . . it's the warm laughter that surrounds you which makes your chest feel warm and fuzzy. It's countes- I mean Nadia's birthday today. You got roped into the private celebration by Julian's insistence that his clumsy hands just can't be trusted with his nasty snot pot made specifically for her. At first you protested, there is no way he can't handle such an important task. He purposely asked you and not Portia. What a bother huh . . . Maybe it's because he knew you weren't doing so well lately, or maybe he really is that bad at keeping his balance.

But truth be told seeing joy spark onto the faces of your new close friends around you is enough. Enough for you to be happy that you tagged along. It's not often that time pauses in such a manner. Pauses and takes your breath away

With the moonlight glimmering through the trees and beaming on you, the picnic cloth littered with all sorts of trinkets, and then the people that so generously included you tonight. You can't help but feel glad to be here. Asra's cute dimple smile that he just can't help but flash, Julian's embarrassed face as he fumbles yet another knock knock joke and then . . . Nadia. The esteemed countess that has stolen your heart it seems. Her marron eyes filled to the brim with immense happiness, her laughter that rings out through the air, cutting away all your doubts and insecurities about the future. You admire her. Her and all her skills. Her and all the ways she shines even despite the flashy and colourful city of Versuvia. Almost like it's her city more than count Lucio. She's the one that truly deserves the title of ruler in your eyes.

This moment is more than enough to get you through a lifetime of misery. Enough to give you the strength to keep going. And Nadia's eyes falling onto you before she offers you a cup of blooming tea, her favourite, is all you need to raise your mood higher than it's been this past week. High enough to reach the heavenly sky though i'm sure a night spent with her would be even better.

This is very underbaked imo. I wanted to do something more with this, but it just never ended up happening . . . i'll do better next time

So I made a really quick (and rough) translation of Lucio Corsi's song if you want to read the lyrics but don't speak Italian.

First of all, what's the song about?

Lucio said:"The song's about how this world wants us to be infallible, as tough as rocks and as perfect as flowers, without telling us, however, that all flowers are hanging by a thread. It's about how it's normal to become something other than what you dreamed of"

Enjoy.

I wanted to be someone tough

Who doesn't care about the future

A robot

A sumo fighter

A drug dealer running from a wolf dog

At the Bologna's station

A hen who lays golden eggs

But I'm no one

I wasn't born with a tough (looking) face

I'm also afraid of the dark

If I fight, I get beaten

So they cover my eyes with black make up

I never wasted time

It's time that left me behind

Living life

It's a kids game (/It's a piece of cake)

Mom told me so

And I fell from trees

How hard is the world

For those who are normal

Who have little love around them

Or too much sun in their glasses

I wanted to be someone tough

Who doesn't care about the future

A robot

Gold medal in spitting

The mugger waiting for you in the dark

The king of Porta Portese (one of the ancient city gates in Rome)

The thieving magpie who steals your faith/wedding ring ("fede" means both in Italian)

Living life

It's a kids game

Mom told me so

And I feel from trees

How hard is the world

For those who are normal

Who have little love around them

Or too much sun in their glasses

I wanted to be someone tough

But I'm just no one

A white belt in judo

A sneeze instead of a star

Sunflowers with sunglasses told me

"Be careful of the light"

And that moons without holes

Are scams

Because in the end it's useless to run away

From your fears

Living life is a kids game

I,I just wanted to be someone tough

But I'm no one

I'm just Lucio

I'm just Lucio (or: I'm nothing but Lucio)

Also if you want to listen to more to his songs, a few really good ones are: Tu sei il mattino, Trieste and Freccia Bianca

Oh and remember to watch his "Nel blu, dipinto di blu" cover with Topo Gigio as well!!

HOLA

can i know how the M6 would react to meeting Reise for the first time? (in your opinion ofc)

ohhhhhh my god good question..... I'm gonna take this ask into account with this

Asra- overall he's happy that Danny's happy. he's not quite sure how he feels about him being Lucio's son, too, though. but he doesnt let it show. after Julian (doctor who delivered him) and Lucio (his other father) Asra would be one of the first to see him. he's Danny's best friend! of course. he would show the baby little magic tricks and oh god no Asra you can't levitate the newborn

Nadia- she really isn't sure how to respond. the ask says she's the worst with children and I'm willing to bet that's because she'd do some shit like ask her servants to give a baby caviar or something 😭 she seems really out of touch sometimes /affectionate. ANYWAY she is handed the baby and formally welcomes him to Vesuvia, and the world for that matter. Nadia did you just give a tiny infant a diamond necklace

Julian- his first time meeting him would've been When He Was Born since he is Danny's doctor. he's the best with kids. he was happy to watch the baby while Danny recovered and Lucio soothed him. it's really a bittersweet experience with him... he's brought life into this world. but... people have also died in his care. during the plague... many children did. funny being a doctor, huh? it reminds him it isn't all bad. anyway this mother hen ass was telling him tall tales the whole night. who needs sleep when there's a baby to entertain

Muriel- absolutely uncomfortable. really really not sure how to respond. he's awkward enough with adults. what are you supposed to do around a tiny baby? it doesn't help that this is Lucio's baby. but he tries not to hold that against him. he would refuse to hold him because he isn't sure how and he's terrified he would drop him. he's also CONVINCED he would start crying the moment he did anyway (I think it would be a different story if it were say, his or Asra's baby. but this is someone he doesn't know all that well that had a baby with Lucio. it's awkward)

Portia- OHHHHHH she is so ready to make a new friend. HER FRIEND MADE A PERSON!!! THATS LIKE... A PRE MADE FRIEND. she's great with kids. the initial meeting is Exciting and maybe they have to tell her to calm down so she can hold him. but after that she'll often have him over and he'll take naps with Pepi in her pillow pile. OH on first meeting she's mad they didn't tell her ahead of time because she would have made him little baby clothes

Lucio- oh this man is PUMPED he MADE A PERSON WITH the person he loves more than anything are you kidding??? that's awesome. with a very heavy heart he takes off his arm's armor so he can hold him, that's definitely a hazard with all the sharp edges. anyway holding him was probably the first time he's ever shut the fuck up in his life, he was just speechless. he does want him to grow up faster though so they can get to the fun stuff that's definitely too rowdy for a baby but. in the moment, it's nice. Mercedes and Melchior are definitely very curious about him and at first he's like WHOA WHOA OKAY because they bite people but they do fine with Reise surprisingly

OH OH ALSO BONUS DANNY: it's really bittersweet for him because he knows Capra will never get to meet him. a lot of his family was lost to the plague and it's a shame he won't get to have that. but. for the moment he's really hopeful for the future. he loves nature and this is a part of that!! he wants to see where this goes. Also Good Lord He Is Glad It Is Out Of Him
