You can't look at me and tell me this two fuckers have the same energy and most likely the same voice

[spacycatmeowx3]

Yall cant tell me they ain’t hitting the same pose 😭

[ace--of--swords]

Tempting goblet

Its the most awkward dinner party.

[neuship-zone]

Oh wow I'm starved for Arcana content, what's on the menu-

🥲 oh well

In all honesty, everything in this video is completely valid and I would recommend watching it, even if you're a Lucio simp like me.

I found this comment when scrolling through the comment section and I think it sums up my feelings on Lucio and his route perfectly.

Could you pls do something like the mc has autism and how each of the 6 help them if they’re overstimulated ? (Gender neutral pronouns pls) love your work <33

I certainly can! I hope I did this justice!! It means a lot that you love my work anon <3

Asra

He's sooo in tune with MC it's crazy. (I blame their half of his heart.)

Once they notice that MC is starting to get overwhelmed, which is usually right away, they'll usually try to hurry along whatever they're doing to get them out of there.

If the MC needs quiet, he'll usually take them back to the shop. If thats not possible, he'll cup their ears. MC knows he's using magic because whatever sounds they were hearing just fall away.

Faust is their girl!! Her scales are super chilly and feel so silly with how much she wiggles. If they need something to touch she'll happily volunteer!

If MC doesn't want Faust squeezing around them, they can always have Asra's hat or scarf.

Asra understands that sometimes people just need some time alone, so if MC needs that they'll find something to occupy their time.

Julian

He might be a doctor but he's never been the best at coping mechanisms or anything remotely related.

Julian is the man for distractions and running away. So long as MC isn't so overwhelmed they can't run. (he might just try to carry them with him.)

If MC needs a certain scent to ground themselves, he's got his coat! It smells vaguely like a mix of herbs and a bomb of spices.

Julian can only do so much if sound is the issue, he's not got enough practice with magic like Asra. If need be he'll cover your ears or take you somewhere secluded.

He can offer his palm to trace if MC needs something to touch.

If MC needs time alone to decompress, he can go see Mazelinka and Portia. (and maybe get them to team up on some of that magic soup for you)

Nadia

She understands pretty well. Her experience after she woke up was very overwhelming for a time.

She'll try to take you to her tower, away from the noises of the palace. The water makes it sound so peaceful.

She also offers her tower as a place to decompress. Being the Countess, she can't fully disappear. If they need time alone they can absolutely get it there.

If MC truly needs something to touch or work on something with their hands, Nadia does have quite a lot of hair they could braid.

Nadia doesn't have anything on her person to offer to focus on a scent, but she will offer her hood regardless. If the MC focuses enough they can smell the fancy hair products from the palace baths.

Muriel

He might be the absolute best person to go to for this. We all know this man gets overwhelmed with too many people around.

Depending on what they need Muriel and Inanna got them covered!

Muriel will offer his fur coat if they need it. It smells distinctly like myrrh and pine trees.

MC needs something to touch or burry their fingers in? Inanna's got a whooole coat of fur conveniently laying on their lap all of the sudden!

If MC needs to be alone they're in the perfect place. His hut is literally in the forest. He'll just go sit with the chickens while they decompress.

Muriel can't do too much about sound if that's what is overwhelming MC. He'll likely call Asra over if thats the case.

Portia

Her cottage is the most peaceful place around the palace. She'll lead you there if you need to get away from crowds or overwhelming noise.

MC can absolutely pet Pepi if they need! Pepi could act as a motorboat with all the purring action going on.

Portia will wrap MC in her blankets. They smell like fresh laundry and bread.

Being Nadia's Personal Handmaiden, she can't fully disappear from the palace. If you need her, she'll stay as long as she can. If you need space, she'll go back to work with the promise that you come get her or send Pepi if you need her!

Lucio

He's trying his absolute best and that is what matters here.

Lucio's only gotten overwhelmed when he had to literally face his fears and all his mistakes. But he takes the lesson to heart and applies it here.

He doesn't get a chance to react if MC needs something to touch to get themselves grounded again. Melchior and Mercedes got this covered.

Lucio would offer them his cape if he has it on him, it smells like wherever they're adventuring but there's a cologne-y undertone to it.

If sound is the issue, he literally just holds his hands over their ears. Not the most effective but an A for effort Lucio!

If they need time alone he makes a goofy show of going to a random spot some ways away and walking in a circle. Nutcracker style. He won't come back until they're either laughing at him or telling him to cut it out and get back over there.

I'm still alive, yippie. I've been trying to work on the next chapter, AND I've been trying to work on a thingy. What is it called? Cover art? Don't know if I like it yet. The " anatomy " is from mellon_soup

Sometimes to heal your inner child you need to draw your old MC from your favorite Dating sim.

If 16 yr old me would see this, I think they’d be very happy :)

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.

Lucio: I did an oopsie 🥺 Morga: Bruh you literally killed your father.

[mjart12699]

Asra gives off the vibe of “was put on a leash as a kid because they would wander off by accident with whimsy on their mind” while Lucio gives off the vibe of “was put on a leash as a kid because he would wander off on purpose and cause chaos in his wake”

[professionalpattycakechamp]

I got back into The Arcana again...Muriel....Muriel save me....Muriel...Save me....Muriel.....

^^^ Also, redraw of my OG persona for The Arcana! ^(>,□,<)^

[neuship-zone]

Being someone who genuinely likes Lucio's route (yes, with all the retcons) is hard, because I can never find someone who agrees with me, and the fandom is small enough.

[the-other-starstruck]

got the entire first chapter of lucios route written down!! editing it now :)

im formatting it fanfic style but keeping the writing style (as best i can) and keeping as much of the canon writing as i see fit.

im using my mc samsin in it because i didnt want to put (mc) or (y/n) cause it just pulls me out of the narrative entirely. plus i can make more dialogue and interactions with personality rather than milktoast mc only there to showcase the characters personalities.
