#Lucio's Confession

[majestativa]

No, it is not even beauty that impresses me. It’s something vaguer than that, something imponderable, translucent: kindness.

i was kind of obsessed with the lighting and poses in this video on insta

[kiichu]

did every lucio player simultaneously decide to forget they can heal and just do speed boosts the entire match??

Who ate the last cookie??

Asra: Consults the cards

Julian: Didn't eat the last cookie, but is prime suspect

Lucio: Ate the last cookie, but doesn't confess

Muriel: Isn't even present

Nadia: Pretends that such a trivial problem isn't worth her time, but secretly wanted that last cookie

Portia: "I'll make more!"

What do you think about Daniel x female reader who might be am Italian representative, maybe even sort of female version of Lucio?

—Danya Leshchynskyi with a Lucio Corsi type gf hc’s

do I see hearts in his eyes or is it just me??

low key makes those tik toks like he did w/ Lucio “searching for [Name] in Madrid”

you finally interact after the first semi-final where he comes to congratulate you

persuades you into singing his song and vice versa which he of course posts and gushes about in the caption

doesnt mind that you dont talk much, he takes it upon himself to talk enough for the two of you combined which you dont mind

^^defends you when someone tells you to speak up like how dare they

fans/photographers always see you together and theres so much fanart of you two its insane

^^danya reposts some of them (most of them being the ones where its very obvious the creator is shipping you) man is down bad

gives you sm merch that his brother has to tell him to stop so some is left for the others

sings the loudest during your grand final performance

after eurovision you stay in contact but due to distance hes afraid to confess and so he leaves his feelings be for a while

until you tell him you booked a flight to see him

he cries^^

you spend the whole week together and eventually he confesses (wrote you a letter in italian because he was learning it just for you)

now its your turn to cry^^

every month you visit each other for at least 2 weeks but after a few months you decide its best to move in together then going into debt because of plane tickets

you probably move in somewhere where both of you have a managable distance to visit family

loves to hear you speak italian

begs you to do the makeup you had in eurovision on him and then on yourself for pictures

teaches you ukranian and is so proud when you speak it to his family

you come to him with the idea of making a song together in both of your mother tongues which he accepts without hesitation

learns your favorite childhood song in your native language and surprises you with it during a livestream you do together

there’s a ‘viral’ joke with fans that you two are the “true winners” of Eurovision because you won each other :DD

we love this multi-cultural/bilingual couple right here<33

Alright, headcanon time xD (it's a little long, so I'll put it hidden)

It's no secret that Lucio is deep down very, very insecure, and that he tries to make up for his feelings of inferiority by showing off. He does everything he can to have a good image and make others think of him as someone of value; he tries to convince everyone through looks, rather than through actions. However, this changes when Lucio feels more confident about himself… and how do we know this? Because of his physical aspect.

The original creators said (if I'm not mistaken) that when it comes to clothing, Lucio likes fur, leather and gold, as well as red and white colors.

When we first meet Lucio, he is dressed in white (a clean color that possibly makes him look proper and elegant), with lots of gold details and various jewels, luxurious furs (ermine?), and loads of medals. We don't really know where he got them or who gave them to him. He looks like he's saying 'hey, look at me. I am a good man, successful and valuable.'

In the reversed ending it's even worse. We see that he still chooses white, and he has an even more ostentatious look, with even more gold, and even more medals. What does this tell us? That if Lucio already felt insecure before, in the reversed ending the MC has further encouraged this defect of his. His value as a person comes from the things he has achieved (conquests, wealth) and the luxury he can boast of… he does not feel that he has intrinsic value as a person, he is only worth something if others think he is worth something.

What happens on the upright ending, on the other hand?

When Lucio grows as a person, he opts for more natural and comfortable clothes. He mainly wears leather and action clothes, forgoes all luxury items, and switches to red as his favorite color. He seems more relaxed, less concerned with how he looks and how others perceive him (even his hair, despite the fact that he still maintains his personal style, is more disheveled and unkempt).

Another curious detail is in his confession of love. The clothes he's wearing at that moment are somewhere in between (he's wearing red, with fur but not as luxurious as before, and he's still wearing gold), as a sign that he may end up falling either to the reversed side or to the upright side.

I don't know if I'm going deeper than it actually is, but I love Lucio as a character for this type of details. He seems like a simpleton, and he kind of is, but the more you analyze him the more subtle details you find. I love him.

[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.

Remember

Asra x Apprentice!Reader Ao3 Summary: When you looked at Asra, you wondered who he wished to see when his gaze lingered on you.

When you looked at Asra, you wondered who he wished to see when his gaze lingered on you. In the back of his mind, there must have been a ghost of your previous life haunting him, you could see faint bits of it dancing in the shadow of his eyes. It made him turn away from you, and more often leave the city entirely. Asra’s cheeks would flush from shame when you asked him about it, only getting a vague answer before he moved. 

The tongues the old you spoke, the clothes you wore, and the habits were all gone— leaving you scrambling for some sort of identity so the old face of yours would be recognizable. Asra had tried to give you the memories back, but it overwhelmed you to a painful degree. Ultimately, you would be left with less than you started with. Luckily, you were clever enough to put together the pieces of your life just by the look in his eyes. 

One evening, when you had suggested a walk along the Vesuvia beaches, his eyes were bright with optimism. The sight made your heart feel as though it was floating, nearly like a high of love and ecstasy. It was why you continued to chase your old self through the mazes of his mind and the glints in his purple eyes. 

The beaches were not as beautiful as they used to be. Asra had told you this as he helped you climb down from one of the many rocks that went down to the shore. He described how the sand used to be golden with the water a clear, almost turquoise, blue before Lucio ruined them. The sand, though it was nearly night, looked darker than it should have been, and the water grey. It was like life had been sucked from it. Yet, there was still a beauty to it. The moonlight reflected off the water in glittering waves and the sand felt soft beneath your sandals. The silence there allowed for the sound of birds and bugs to be heard. 

“Did you like to come here often, before the plague?” You asked with a laugh as you attempted to skip a rock on the water. When the rock hit the water twice before sinking, you made a disappointed grunt as you turned to look at Asra. 

His expression gave away his emotions. Asra seemed almost like he was in pain. His eyebrows furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line, and his eyes were shining with shameful disappointment. You had seen the look so many times, but this time it was different. It was the last drop in an already overflowing bucket of disappointing, almost shameful, stares. The high you had been riding on suddenly vanished, leaving you falling into a pit of despair. 

You asked cooly, “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”

Asra opened his mouth, though no words came out, and you could only squeeze your eyes shut to keep the tears from your eyes. Wrapping his arms around your shoulders, he pulled you close. The smell of lavender oil and incense filled your senses. Your fingers dug into Asra’s shirt, pulling him closer so his scent might bring about that high you wanted again. 

Asra whispered your name as his hands traced lines up and down your spine. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“I know I recall so little— More so, nothing at all. You must hate me for it, at least a little,” You mumbled into the nape of his neck. "Since I know you would not look at me as such if you did not hate me."

Asra shook his head, “No! How could you say such things? It is not what you do not remember that makes me act so, it is what I remember. The things I have done…” His body began to shake as he began to weep.

You shushed him, moving to press your forehead against his. “Think nothing of it. We are here now.”

Asra pressed a kiss to your lips, then another and another. He would have taken you there on the beach, under the moonlight and with the sounds of the waves in the background, if you would have allowed him.

“I must confess,” You said with a smile. “I can recall but one thing.”

Asra’s eyes glittered like the waves in the moonlight. “What is that, my love?”

“How much I loved you, and how much I love you now.”

Have you never considered the strange voluptuousness of fire, the perversity of water, the sensual subtleties of light?

[euroconfessions]

Thoughts after the final:

• I didn't support Austria, didn't root for KAJ either, after jury votes everything became obvious. When the winner was announced me and my friends were speechless - NO ONE liked this result at all. Since the blog's name is confessions, I want to confess that for me JJ was the worst option to win. I didn't have goosebumps from his singing at least for once during the whole season, he sings super clean (in bad context) and doesn't know what word "improvisation" is. This is boring, super patterned and for my 10 years experience, this is the worst winner since Salvador Sobral, and I don't have anything against ballads at all.

• Israel was a shocker, but honestly - understandable. I won't touch politics, leave it to someone else, but I really like Yuval's song and performance (still wasn't my favorite) - this is what I meant with JJ - this ballad touches something inside of you, and she doesn't need to be an opera singer.

• Estonia and one point difference 😭 I hope Joost, Marko and Käärijä are proud. Third place with such shitty results is impressive.

• Impressed by Ukraine's final result. I didn't expect anything good, but hoped for top-15, and Ziferblat ended being 9th. I know how it is important for Ukraine to have a good result, and how big pressure was on the band, and being 9th is unexpected but really nice.

• KAJ WERE ROBBED

• Happy for Lucio's recognition! One of the most touching songs, and he deserved his twelve points.

• UK and zero points at this point are friends. But understandable, the song was bad 💀 Zero points for Switzerland was a shocker, especially when vocally bad Germany received good points.

• Baby Lasagna and Käärijä's performance was the best thing of the night. Creative, stylish, funny, guys mixed songs during the performance and that was fun to watch

• Overall, Switzerland's hosting was absolutely terrible. Third host last night didn't give anything to the show, jokes were meh, visuals with Times New Roman bold cursive font are 💀💀💀, LUMO, muting audience and artists killed the whole vibe of the show, how can we understand do people like the performance if we can't hear them? Turquoise carpet interviewer is another trash either, that was just incompetent...

Thank you for the season, but I feel like we were slapped in the face. I hope next year in Austria things will be better

The Arcana World-building - a high school project

it is exactly as i have titled it. while going through old google docs, i came across an old project from one of my fiction classes. just thought i would "share with the class" a portion (and slightly revised version) of what my high school self whipped up. enjoy!

Firstly, the ages of the love interests range from late twenties to early forties, the oldest among them being Nadia and Lucio. Obviously, they are attractive. That is their purpose, to be attractive so to entice readers into playing their routes. This also shows readers that being older than twenty-nine isn’t as ancient or unattractive as the media insists on portraying. If anything, Nadia is more regal and refined because of her age, and Lucio is… Lucio. Immature as ever. Depending on the route, he is either a self-centered nuisance who refuses to take responsibility for anything or the love of your life who goes through a redemption arc with your support.

Secondly, the game’s depiction of gender and gender roles is unlike that of any other otome-esque game I have ever played. There’s Asra, with him being canonically nonbinary and wearing skirts for formal occasions, and Lucio (with his love for high-heeled boots and tight pants) and Nadia’s dynamic. Though their marriage is more of a business relationship, I think we can all tell who is the top between two.

i maintain the usage of the word "top" in this piece as this is an inherently queer game, allowing for the apprentice/reader to pursue anyone under any pronouns. even in high school, i understood how peg-able Lucio was. no further questions.

I believe I’ve made my case.

And then there’s Julian during his love confession in his route. Which is not the only piece of art depicting him bond/tied-up.

Men in romance media, from games to books, are usually portrayed as the ones who take the lead in their relationships, with more influence and authority than their counterparts. In The Arcana, you’ll see our lovely men—Muriel, Julian, and Lucio—weak in the knees for the apprentice and sharing moments of softness and vulnerability. As for women, they’re usually depicted as the passive partner (though in recent years there has been an increase in stories where women are the aggressive ones while the men remain more passive).

In Nadia’s route, she is persistent in her pursuit with the apprentice, showing them in gifts and sultry looks. Nadia is tall, brown, assertive, has strong facial features, and feels comfortable within her own skin. Within the views of toxic masculinity, her strength would be seen as unearned confidence and her beauty denied simply because of the color of her skin and her height. However, these masculine attributes of hers appeal even more to femininity even though they are not classically recognized portrayals of womanhood.

As for Portia, while she has more ideal characteristics according to the patriarchy (pale skin, petite, big boobas, softer features, approachable personality), she also does not smoothly fit into the mold because she is curvy and has quite the mischievous and irrepressible personality. If you pay close attention, you'll notice her sprite includes leg hair!

I would just like to touch back on Asra, namely his outfits and how he took every opportunity to show off his slutty waist. Like, excuse me??

endnote: i added more commentary on portia and asra. i almost wish there was more on julian and muriel, but i found julian irritating in high school and muriel pretty firmly fits into the visual aspects of men's beauty standards (at least through the male gaze, he is built). i believe it should be obvious which parts of the revisions and which parts are the original. either way, i will be coloring the lines i added.

thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

Someday is Romeo's record and it's driving me crazy. It feels like every character has a theme record of sorts P/Carlo - Feel Sophia - Shadow Flower Claudia and Lucio - Quixotic Adelina and Patricia - Fascination Antonia and Polendina - Memory of Beach Belle - Why Venigni - Misty E'ra is something he'd chill out to Eugenie - Far East Princess The Real Alidoro - Proposal, Flower, Wolf Simon - Divine Service because of his obsession That leaves - Someday I'm 100% convinced Someday is Romeo's record.

It's one of the few records with a male singer. It's bought in the Malum district....at the Red Lobster Inn vendor. You know what else is at the Red Lobster - RIGHT ACROSS FROM THAT SPECIFIC VENDOR - the portrait of Romeo and Carlo being like: "I'm Romeo and I'll be the best Stalker in Krat!" "Then I'll become better than Romeo and be the greatest Stalker in the world!" It could've been sold by any vendor in the game....but it specifically was the Malum vendor. I feel like the devs are teasing. If you look at the lyrics: I'm waiting for you alone in the dark I've been waiting for you too long I can hear you in my heart A whisper of my own confession Time to meet you now Listen my Heart Where are you now? Can't you hear my little voice? Would it be possible for me to whisper in your ear? If you have a long day, do you remember me suffering? You will come back someday Listen my Heart I will wait for you even if my heart hurts So you can hear my little voice I will wait for you, I will wait for you.

That sounds an awful lot like Romeo to me. Sending P messengers, waiting for him, longing to meet him again and yet P can't seem to hear his voice - since they're all scrambled. And it's a song that sounds rather upbeat compared to some of the other ones even if the lyrics are kind of sad which I feel like is also such a Romeo thing with him being the more positive of the two from what we know.

I'm convinced Someday is Romeo's theme record. Thanks for reading my TED talk. It's also a sleeper. One of my favs.

[ace--of--swords]

King of Swords ♧reversed♧

Lucio has something to confess, but there is no time because this:

Brainrot and rambling about ending concept under the cut

Have been thinking a bit about this part of the suite of swords route and it is where lots of emotions go berserk, Uno loses their head, literally and figuratively. Lucio tries to go on the quest on his own to fix things and is out of his depth in the metaphysics of it all (and dies).

Funny part is that Uno just stern-headedly is Death in upright and reassambles, but things do not go back to how they were before. They are changed and in a state between their human self, their Dheme self and few other things they gained trough their lifes journey.

Lucio can't go back to what he was either. A heart for a heart, hunger for power and tirany is there, biting trough the chains that bind him until the whole world is changed to accomodate his thirst for freedom. One world onw fractured into many and laws that once were do not make sense. The veil is torn to shreds and there is no use to repair it. Arcane walks among mundane freely with ocean once separating it, now binds it all. Their hands untied and they wreck havock for lack of understanding of humane as whole.

A new world that is strange to eyes, no end to it. It just recreates itself in new combination once the previous cycle runs out.

And at the worlds ends, the two of them are there. Every time a bit changed as well.

In the end neither upright or reversed end are good or bad. They are different.

Uno gets to resolve their oath to Lazaret and to their Father. They can cross over. And Lucio can choose to cross over too if he feels his business is done. A luxury not many get. (Guess another "game plus" ending, idk it started as a silly meteroidvania game mockup, and i live game plus endings)
