[thermodynamic-comedian]

i feel like the very specific way in which luka uses "my saviour" in ruler of my heart has to be some sort of taunt to hyuna.

my theory/headcanon is that as a kid, she'd play the knight in shining armor, "rescuing" luka, her damsel in distress. then later on, maybe when they were both in alien stage for the first time, despite what he'd done, she reached out to him. promised that she'd get them both out of here, again playing the saviour.

ruler of my heart is very clearly meant for hyuna, in some way. and the two-time winner of alien stage, still thoroughly trapped, taunting the woman trying to bring the whole system down with "my saviour", almost looking at her and saying "well, go on, then. come and save me." is a very luka-like thing to do.

i'm just so intrigued by the idea of luka as someone who just. doesn't have the strength to fight against the system he's trapped in. so instead he plays into it, he plays the game to win the game in hopes of keeping himself safe. and hyuna is the polar opposite of that, abandoning the game entirely, actively fighting to change the system. luka sees her rebellion as useless delusion, he thinks there's no saving any of them, he's given in entirely, and so he sees the fact that hyuna hasn't saved him yet as proof of that.

so he taunts her with it. "my saviour, pitiful lady."

Running list of Luka fans/enjoyers for those of you struggling to find mutuals in this fandom who hates his guts:

(note, this is an updating list and both people and descriptions will update as I either get to know these people or just add them to the list)

@muchanmocha

Most based 🔛🔝 Luka (and general Alien Stage) analyzer, like holy shit I freak when they drop sum

@ryminsteddiesashanne

Their blog name is "Infernal Luke Syndrome Haver." Do I need to explain?

@pestilencesingsyouforward (main blog of lukanumber1fan)

Will rant about him, has nice energy

@thermodynamic-comedian

He's just really cool idk how to explain it but this's a nice Luka fan right here

@aakaneeee

Theorist, fanartist

@lukanumber1fan (side blog of pestilencesingsyouforward)

It's in the name, what description do you want from me?

@mizinthropy

Consumes and shares the content as god intended

@sotogalmo

OP doesn't follow/they were recommended in comments (you'll have to figure out yourself); they do appear to keep thorough notes on characters

@oxianna

OP doesn't follow/they were recommended in comments (you'll have to figure out yourself)

@iri-desky

Leans towards the theorist/analyzer side (from what I've seen). Tbh, they're an honorary mention because I stay up thinking about the Luka analysis post we shared.

@vaellusvitutus

They don't post about Luka often, but they're based and have critical thought going on concerning him (which is better than most of the fandom).

@galaxynajma

Luka enjoyer

@bunderies

Analyzer, fanfic writer, (probably more)

@babygirlluka

Luka fanpage

@satosuguhastakenovermylife

Idk tbh but they think he's gorgeous 🫡 (which is ofc the correct opinion)

@enden-k

Silly fanartist and theorist. Fun to watch create/talk.

@mirrorcatcreditcard

Stan, theorist, analyzer. Would be an apologist if vibing in the controversy wasn't more fun.

Take some complimentary Luka art to-go because this world is a cold, dark place without him.

P.S. Sorry about the pings 🫰 if they annoyed you too much, instead of blocking me (because I crave Luka moots) please allow me to pay you back in a the form of a Luka oneshot

P.P.S. If you want to be removed or have an idea of someone who should be added, just comment or send me a message, and I'll update.

i love luka and hyuna and their dynamic so much and i don't like how it flies under the radar in fandom 😑😐😑 it's reduced to toxic straights or whatever. i get that it's mostly kids in this fandom but whatever. i'm gonna ramble. adult alien stage fans pspspspss

the hyuluka dynamic is just as crucial to the central themes of alien stage as the other relationships/dynamics between the other four if not more.

hyuna is what you get when you take someone who had the knowledge, means, opportunity and a catalyst to take action. and she said "fuck your sick systemic game of oppression, i'm not playing", and she created something out of nothing. she created an anarchist rebellion even if she doesn't have the political term for it, because she dared to dream bigger than what she was taught by the aliens.

luka is what you get when you take someone in that same system who had the very same things, but went the other direction in response to the game of oppression. he said "i have no hope in a better world, so i will play, i will murder by proxy, to make it to tomorrow". he conforms to the aliens, to the game of alien stage, because he pushed hyuna away when he killed her brother. he doesn't think he deserves to be saved from the game, he doesn't think he can be saved, and he doesn't think hyuna can save him.

luka's murder of hyuna's brother, however intentional or not, was the catalyst for her rebellion. once, she was happy, too. she thought that their situation was good for them. she had her brother and she had her best friend. but when luka lashed out, or got into a fight, with hyunwoo, and the latter died, that was when the illusion shattered. hyuna loved the both of them, but how can she look at luka the same after hyunwoo was killed?

how can she think of anakt garden, of the aliens' world, the same?

so she dreamed. she imagined. and she brought those dreams to life. when she sings now, she sings because she wants to. because she chooses to. not for profit, advantage, or her very existence. she sings because it is her way of expressing herself, a soulful, artistic display. she sings to live. she sings for her friends in the rebellion and parties with them because they are free. she fights the aliens because she wants others to have this same freedom. she is a beacon of hope.

after hyunwoo died and hyuna retreated and then rebelled, luka instead sunk further into darkness. he doesn't love himself enough to hope for better, but he doesn't want to die either. so he conforms into a puppet. he continues to suffer severe abuse at the hand of his alien owner. when he sings ruler of my heart, he envisions hyuna. thinks her ideals and rebellion pointless -- thinks it hypocritical, perhaps. since he has been left to rot. he sings to not die. he is a pit of despair.

their entire dynamic is much more than "toxic straights" hope this helps!!!!!!! they're lesbians to me btw but that's just my headcanon

Random mental math:

Mizi -> My Clematis, Ruler Of My Heart, Black Sorrow (Mizi.ver), Unknown: Till The End (Mizi & Till.ver), Cure (Sua & Mizi.ver) -> Total: 2 songs + 3 covers

Sua -> My Clematis, Sweet Dream, Ruler Of My Heart (Sua.ver), Cure (Sua & Mizi.ver) -> Total: 2 songs + 2 covers

Till -> Unknown: Till The End, My Clematis (Ivan & Till.ver), Unknown: Till The End (Mizi & Till.ver), Cure, All-in (Till.ver), Blink Gone -> Total: 3 songs + 3 covers

Ivan -> Black Sorrow, My Clematis (Ivan & Till.ver), Cure -> Total: 2 songs + 1 cover

Luka -> Ruler Of My Heart, Sweet Dream (Luka.ver), Blink Gone -> Total: 2 songs + 1 cover

Hyuna -> All-in, Love & Peace, Drunk & Party, Ruler Of My Heart (Hyuna.ver) -> Total: 1 song + 2 extras + 1 cover

[apporutte]

Been Luka pilled lately so I doodled @daily-basil / @theokusgallery Basil as Luka design (w some modifications because I lovw big big bows)

You can imagine Aubrey as Mizi

[marichild]

now I don't know who translated that bit in ruler of my heart as "beautiful lady" bc it should be "my savior, pitiful soul." "My savior, 가련한 영혼이여." Yeah. so

[lukaalnst-official]

oh in a twink gone

Twink and gone~

[thermodynamic-comedian]

it makes me so sick in such a visceral way (/very positive) that every aspect of luka's character makes it so clear that he was made to be looked at.

the way his stage presence is so much more purposeful, so much more of an act. everyone else just sings, he's putting on a full show. slow and deliberate gestures, all sultry and directed at the audience. he's a product selling itself, his stage presence is an advertisement. his fans call him "prince", and he plays up that persona so much. it's a selling point. clean and proper, fancy, pristine, pure, romantic, desirable. all of these are things that luka has to be, because that's what he's being advertised as. that's what he's being sold as.

and the clothes. oh, the clothes. @bunderies already made an excellent post about this, but i can't stop thinking about it. the absolute deliberateness of it all. careful holes delicately cut to expose specific parts of his body, to draw the audience's attention to it. Carefully treading that line, making sure he's exposed and ready to be objectified without sacrificing that gracefulness and propriety that he's also meant to project.

it's incredibly disturbing yet fascinating to think about how luka was shaped from birth to be exactly what the audience wants.

[lukaalnst-official]

Alright, thanks father..

Hey Till, I made you something. Wanna see? Since it’s “Be Kind day” :) -@lukaalnst-official

i dont want it.

[priestess-of-yuri]

actually fuck you. victims of severe abuse are great amazing people for surviving actually. fuck you fuck you fuck you. a billion explosions be upon ye. this is about luka alien stage! my hot take for the day. silence before i cut out your tongue

[luka-alnst-official]

I think you’re mistaken, my name is LUKA.

do you think there's an afterlife in alien stage. like, is sua alone up there at first or is she with the participants of the past years' contests. does she sing her part of the duet up there by herself. does till ever tell her that mizi was able to get out. was ivan prepared to explain his little stunt at the end of round six or did he think he'd have a good couple years before that. do they talk smack abt luka up there.

[ingridgh0st]

The way Mizi, Till and Hyuna had positive affective models before Anakt Garden and Sua, Ivan and Luka had negative ones or straight up none
