Count Lucio - Blog Posts

HE'S SUPPOUSED TO BE A COMPLETE MORON, THEN WHY THE HECK HE CAN BE SO SWEET????!

Hydras gonna make me gay for every lady in this game (ง ื▿ ื)ว

 (p.s. sorry I’ve been busy lately so I’m kinda late with her XD)

So, I finally made compiled my full kin list and here are my observations:

1. Wow I’m a piece of shit aren’t I?

2. It’s the family issues for me, man.

3. ✨Trauma✨

4. No seriously, I’m such a red flag. 😭😭😭

5. They all have nice hair though.

6. I know most of them are total shitbags, but they’re my emotional support shitbags.

Feel free to judge me as much as you’d like.

50s Wanda - The Arcana Masterlist ᱬ

The first few turns of the pages of the book within your hand show nothing but blanks until you look closer. That's when you see them, the etchings and marks of the very first version on Wanda Maximoff.

Nothing but black, white and grey appears as you look on, taking note of how weird this all was before turning more pages to peer into the life of the Scarlet Witch.

*Looks at Lucio and looks towards the Camera*OH GOD HE'S HOT!! 😳😳😳

Some more panels from my Animatic!

I call these pics "*sip sip* hmmmm pomegranade"

For the ask meme you posted could I request both 1 and 2 for Asra?

@pr1nc3-0f-d4rkn3ss Thank you!!

1. A fun headcanon

One time when Lucio had a new marble statue set up at the entrance of the palace and Asra was twelve, Asra decided to fuck with him by telling Muriel and a small group of mutual friends that he had special plans for the new artwork.

Asra would stand around the statue everyday for at least fifteen to ten minutes before he was chased away by guards. He kept this up for a week before Lucio finally noticed a pattern, along with overhearing rumors (that Asra started) that the little magician was planning to sabotage his new masterpiece.

The count demanded three guards around the art work at all times of the day to deter any of Asra pranks.

Only for Asra to turn around and sabotage one of Lucio's other beloved gold statues by throwing bird seed around the structure and leading a large flock of birds to take a crap on it.

2. A sad headcanon

I'm using my apprentice for this, after Asra brought Claudia back and it was clear that any memories of her past, at that time, were going to harm her into a catatonic state. He hid trinkets, clothes, her aunt's belongings (except for her shawl that he missed), and her gold bangles from Matabele around the shop since he couldn't bear to get rid of some of those treasured items.

For everything else that he couldn't hide, he either gave them to Muriel for safe keeping or burned them in a bonfire like Claudia's diary that she kept during the Red plague.

I remember starting these in 2022, but what better time than the present to finish the wedding set

The charms really were beautiful

Goddammit I started playing The Arcana again against my better judgement and WOW I have no impulse control and I cannot try to work on things that are not Arcana related

Like fr ain't no way of making yall happy🙄🙄

he makes a good point, for once

It's crazy how after both playing the Arcana and studying ancient history I can confidently say that Count Lucio is basically the same as Emperor Augustus.

I mean, their lives are so similar it's scary.

Both weren't rightfully meant to become leaders of a kingdom/empire/city, but they got that title thanks to another important figure that owned that power before them and passed it down to them.

They brought peace and promoted their victories and their right to command through art and games (the Latins used to say "panem et circenses" which literally means "bread and circus <games>", indicating that the best way to command with the support of the people was through food and fun times, which for both Vesuvia and Rome meant gladiators and Arenas).

Nobody talks about this but Augustus KILLED HIS HALF BROTHER, he threw Caesar and Cleopatra's child down a goddamn window to secure his right to the throne- and he's still remembered as a hero and the one that brought peace to the people of Rome!!!!

Also let's not mention that he wanted to promote the traditional family values yet he got married three times and left one of his wives with a message right after she had his baby. Like, baby popped out, message arrives: "yo we're divorced now".

Like, is Count Lucio that bad compared to THIS?

I can't believe Lucio is a Sub now lol

So, with Lucio in this new (and admittedly very sexy) form, I have to wonder... What's going on with the devil? Where is he now and what's he up to???

I hate and love how accurate this is :,>

The Main 6 sit on a sofa.

FUCK my heart

Vesuvia Fair Covers Magazine! 😎📰📸 Choose your fav and start to read! 😉

And very attractive people

Getting my friend hooked on The Arcana to have someone to talk to about it feels a lot like luring them into a dark alley to stab 'em.

With love, of course.

Lucio's route is actually a "Beetlejuice:The musical",fight me

Anyway,I'm going feral on Lucio is Beetlejuice AU and I have little comic in mind(idk if I'll ever finish it,tho)

Goat man,take me by the hand

First things first, shout out to this amazing and marvelous fic writer === > http://aminoapps.com/p/h7lvix that ,by my request,wrote an amazing one-shot about Lucio and Saechka http://aminoapps.com/p/t1zrl3

Nobody effing likes you,Lucio

««Jesus effing Christ...What the eff,Lucio,Like,literally. What the actual eff??? Go back being dead,nobody effing likes you here,except your stupid dogs.»

This were my actual words when I saw the returning of C(o)unt Thoticcus,tbh. Ik,he's hot n stuff,but his presence will make everyone in Vesuvia lose their shift,so eff this goaty bastard.

I mean...Why not?

I did some copying of Tim Burton's amazing cartoon style because i thought that it's kinda suits Saechka and her whole story.

(Btw I'm open up to lit/semi-lit rp,but I don't know English very well,so it could be hard)

Been there, done that.

Might as well accept that I love you! 💁🏾‍♀️❤️

Embrace your clownery, SaltyFroggo.

Lucio: Hey! What you did today, honey?

Loona: I accidentally joined a cult.

Lucio: That sounds like something I would do.

Loona: Nah... At first I thought you were cheating, but then I realized that I misunderstood the concept of the word fuck-

Lucio: The fuck..?!

Asra: Welcome to the "Fuck Lucio" support group, where we gather to say "Fuck you” to the insufferable Count of Vesuvia

Asra: But first, a few words from our newest member

MC, sweating: So, I may have misunderstood-

And this type of love is unrational

It’s physical Mentally delusional!!!

This makes me understand why I am in the middle of both upright and reversed routes...

AND WHY IT IS TORTURING ME!!!

Something people don't understand about Lucio's route

[Also, something important to take in count: I'm really tired, I've been listenting to Florence + The Machine, Aurora, and Hozier all day, I just played Lucio's new chapter, and this may not be really well-written or make actual sense. I don't know, I'll probably delete it later.]

We all know that the MC has to prevent the LIs to fall back into their old habits, right? We have to prevent Julian from self-sacrificing and thinking of himself as someone dangerous because of not knowing whether he killed Lucio or not, we have to prevent Muriel from isolating himself and considering himself a monster because of his times at the Coliseum, and so goes on with the other characters. We also know that each character, LIs or not, has a patron, they all represent one of the major arcana— Morga represents the Chariot, Portia represents the Star, Valerius represents the Hierophant, and so on. The only characters I can think of right now without a patron are Lutz (Lucio's father, who doesn't even has a sprite), Tasya, and Khamgalai.

However, people tend to think that Lucio's Reversed Ending will simply (key word being "simply") be about him going back to being a dictator who doesn't care about his people, that he will seek power once again, that he will join the Devil on his plan or something like that, and it's just... no. It doesn't fit. It won't be only about that.

Let's see the meaning of the Devil, Lucio's patron, according to The Arcana fandom wiki page about the tarot deck:

Upright: The Devil knows there is power in perception. He binds those who cannot see their path to freedom.

Meaning: Shake off his veil: you are not trapped. There is always a way out of even the darkest places.

Reversed: The Devil loses influence over his flock as the chains of bondage drop from his tight grasp.

Meaning: It is time to clean house: purge the things that harm you from your life. Take back your power.

The main problem with Lucio is not that he was a dictator, he wants to fix his mistakes, he feels sorry for it, and he doesn't want to do it again. No, the problem with Lucio is that his life consisted mostly in one thing— running away. From Morga, from the courtiers, from the plague, from the Devil, from his deals, from everything.

The Devil, in tarot, is about bounding, and taking in count that Lucio avoids his problems and escapes from them, it could mean something good for his character arc. He would stop running away, and finally do something with the mess he made.

But, this doesn't end here. It would be too easy if it did. Remember The Star, the book in which the MC and their blond goat encountered the Arcana? Also, do you remember who else had the Fool's powers apart from the apprentice? Yes, our dear count.

Let's now see the meaning of the Fool:

Upright: The Fool stands on a cliff's edge, overlooking the limitless potential of their future.

Meaning: The way is uncertain, but you have all the tools. Make the leap. Do not let insecurity bind you.

Reversed: The Fool rushes in without guidance, ignoring all the warning signs.

Meaning: Beware of acting rashly. Consider the consequences of your actions and tread lightly in the dark.

Let's think— the Fool, reversed, is about rushing in without considering the consequences, while the Devil, upright, is about having a way out of the darkest places. Don't you think that, since he's related to both, he may represent the Fool reversed and the Devil upright?

Let's take this a bit further; the Fool, upright, is about being brave enough to face the future, while the Devil, reversed, is about getting rid of harmful things and take back your power, about escaping from his chains. And you know who not only has the Fool's powers, but also can break the Devil's chains? Yes, the MC.

What I'm trying to say is: the meaning of the tarot cards matter, and a lot. The Devil's meaning isn't inherently bad, and the Fool's meaning isn't inherently good. It seems like Lucio and the MC share two patrons. Also, from what we saw, I think that Lucio's Reversed Ending won't be just about "going back to evil", it would be about running away. Again.

There are two versions of the love confession in The Moon (you can find both here, credit to @snake-sweaters). One of them is more like "We're alone, but together in this" (a bit possessive, it kind of excludes, oh, I don't know, the rest of the world they're tying to save), while the other one is like "I want a future with you, after we fix up all of this, and I want to change and actually be useful" (clearly character development from the selfish, problem avoider Lucio we had at the start from his route). I think the first one leads to the Reversed Ending; it feels like "us against the world", while the second one feels more like "us for the world". You get me?

To finish this mini-essay, I want to show you a small hint we've got with these two decisions when the dead ask the MC and Lucio what they're going to do to save the world.

This is what happens when you choose "whatever we can"

And this is what happens when you choose "whatever's necessary"

If you ask me, "whatever we can" is the upright choice— do you think the dead would ask the MC "by whatever means necessary?" in an "are you really sure?" kind of way and their (the apprentice) voice would go through the city like a thunder? Like, in the other Reversed Endings the characters do what they feel is necessary, despite it being pretty fucked up, instead of doing what they can.

Also, whichever choice the MC took Lucio would be all like "yeah, me too, I'll do the same", so... yeah.

I think that if Lucio went back to his old self it would be because he'll do whatever's necessary to stop the Devil or something like that, or he may try to run away from him with the MC, letting chaos unleash everywhere, but not actually caring about it. He has the apprentice, after all, what else could he want?

TL;DR: Lucio's bad habit isn't just "being bad", it's running away, not keeping his word, and not adressing any of his or other people's problems. I think his Reversed Ending will be about him avoiding the Devil so he can be with the MC, which will lead to him not keeping his promise of saving the world and becoming better, which will lead to... well, old Lucio.

@apprenticeofcups, you wrote some interesting theories and metas about this game, you have more experience doing this than I do, and I feel like this meta isn't actually well-written. Anything you may like to add? (Only if you want to, of course)

This made it all worth it... ❤️😍

Don't touch me I am still emotionally recovering from this. 😭❤️
