#luca trying not to be vale and stepping instead into the hole that MARC left?

i know you’re busy but whenever you have time i’d love to hear your thoughts on the relationship between the academy boys and marc post reunion !

my thoughts have grown and evolved and changed on this over time... like the first time i got this question was directly post valencia 2023 and bez was like. in the press all mad and pecco was on top of the world and cele's collarbone was intact and mig was like. not podcasting and franky was pre marquez brothers putting him into the recovery position after that bad crash and perhaps saving his life in the soap opera sense and luca was on a DUCATI. overall things have SHIFTED!!! and for better and for worse as the last yearish has gone by, its become less like. abstraction based on the vr46 boys general personalities and relationship to vale + his baggage and more seeing pecco and marc being put on weird little couches together by their boss and bez hopefully being on the other side of that sexuality crisis/LEAVING the nest and marc and alex helping franky in a moment of need and luca AT honda rn now staring down santi hernandez longingly across the garage like its a whole new world... theyre all interacting with marc as a PEER rather than daddy’s horrible little evil ex boyfriend who burned his house down, which is an interesting little space to live in as they bring their specific baggage into this reconciliation imo

SOOOO taking all of this into account, i think its awkward and fraught and funnyyyy and full of all the little spikes that growing pains consist of, but its also like. unique and individual, rather than collective. now theyre all adults in their mid to late 20s-- theyre their own people more than ever, interacting with their coworker, who a few of them have had the opportunity to get to know in new and (not always positively) transformative ways. a few of them have even gotten to know THEMSELVES in new and transformative ways. and i think the (admittedly VERY fun lmao) idea that marc sort of. integrating into this community is something thats inherently hostile is the LESS interesting option to me.... bc it isnt just academy v marc its like. luca and pecco and franky and bez and even mig and cele all bringing their specific and wonderful character dynamics to the reconciliation table along WITH marc and all the reasons he might have to have weird feelings about THEM... and thats FUN...
