#luca paguro
this college-Luca design hijacked my brain and (very politely) insisted I draw him, or else
As an italian, I really appreciated so much the new Pixar movie “Luca”.
A very nice story, whose true strength isn’t the complexity of the plot, who it’s very simple but not bad, but in the awesomeness of the Italian landscape where the story is set. Although I’m not living in Liguria (where the movie is set), as a citizen of a port city I identified so much with Portorosso city, it reminded me a lot of my city and I loved it so much!
Ah, and of course, another strenght of that movie are the sea monsters!
I loved the sea creatures’ character design, in particular Luca’s and Alberto’s: they are so beautiful and cute, without being cloying or babyish.
Luca and Alberto as sea monsters reminded me so much The Little Mermaid and Ponyo, because Luca and Alberto are both fascinated by human’s world and they want to live there; and in part Luca Paguro reminded me even Pinocchio, our popular tale, because at one point, he wish to go on school and become a real boy, like the famous italian marionette, while Alberto reminded me Lucignolo (Lampwick), a little .
A perfect combination between The Little Mermaid, Ponyo and Pinocchio, but taking their own way.
I loved Luca and Alberto’s friendship, and after their friendship with Giulia, that’s a topic very dear to me.
Very poignant the finale, in connection therewith, without making spoilers.
For me, THIS is the example of true friendship.
I want to spend a little time to tell about the meaning about to be a sea monster, in the movie. I think it can be represent everything: lgbtq+ (personally, I don’t ship Luca and Alberto and I see them only as great friends, sorry ), neurodiversity, disability, immigrants, a person with different religion or philosophy, a person who thinks differently from the crowd or just a not “cool” guy, how Casarosa defined himself as a child . Everyone can see themselves in that movie.
At the end, Luca it’s a beautiful italian tale, in its simplicity and its awesomeness to tell a friendship and the acceptance.
As italian, I’m so proud of this movie, it’s a beautiful tribute to Italy, thank you Pixar, and thank you Enrico Casarosa, for made it .
So, enjoy everyone with Luca and… Silenzio Bruno!
If you’re seeing Giulia tripping Ercole up in the background, then no, you aren’t
Hey! So I did a miniserie of Luca’s main characters with pride flags, I hope you guys enjoy them :D They were all really fun to do!!
❤️
I just
Alberto likes to listen to Luca while he explains what he learned at school
Alberto making marks on his wall to count how many days it has been without Luca and Giulia.
Luca Paguro (+ luberto) headcannons cuz yes
- he is bi
- he gets glasses
- wears Giulias old skirts sometimes
- Guilias mom buys him clothes but his fav outfit is still the one that Alberto gave him and that he wore the entire movie
- when he gets older, Luca likes to steal Albertos hoodies and shirts (which are a bit to big for Luca but he doesnt care)
- he likes the song Meteor shower by cavetown (i know this song didnt exist back then but idc)
- he gets a bit nervous in crowds and when he walks through the busy hallways of school
- his notes for school are SO organized
- he likes to dance. Not professional, just dancing around the house.
- he calles Alberto “Berto” often, but when he has to say something quick he says “Al”
- when Alberto is sad or whatever, Luca holds his hand and says “look me in the eyes. You know I love u, right?”
- he is very close with his mom, and when he is like a adult and he goes to visit his mom he brings her flowers
(These are my headcannons, you are allowed to disagree with me)
Just imagine…
Alberto ranting to Guido and Ciccio (they r friends now thats a fact) about Luca and they r just like “dude u gay”
And at the same time Luca is yelling at Giulia cuz “maybe im gay?? Idk giulia i just love him so much”
And then they r back at portorosso and alberto and luca are just so akward around eachother and Giulia, Guido and Ciccio are just so annoyed cuz “they r gay” “yep”
If they give Luca or Alberto a girlfriend in the new Luca short movie… I’ll get angry
Headcannon that Alberto writes his 3’s mirrored.
The ending of Luca and the ending of the Mandalorian season 2 give off the same vibes in my opinion
Luca thinking about Alberto in class
Luca calling Alberto: berto
Friendly reminder that Alberto and Guilia are siblings.
U cannot tell me that Alberto did not call Guilia “spewlia” at least once when he was angry.
Luca was Cute! My favorite part was when he was too shy to ask the questions about the Portorosso cup so he made Alberto do it. That is literally something I would do as a kid.
only true besties will get this
@soup-du-silence’sfic is so good i had to sketch out this scene through my tears. also sorry for my terrible grapes i was genetically engineered to be incapable of rendering fruit
school’s out!
@tamak0 had a DTYIS on twitter that i did so i’m posting here too
finally joining the bandwagon of drawing the kids all grown up (which i will inevitably change designs and styles because i’m inconsistent BUT) enjoy!!
what is summer if not relaxing with your friends?
hopefully my rudimentary duolingo italian is readable
more luca doodles
Man… Luca was such an amazing and beautiful movie. I still can’t get my mind off of it ❤️ it’s all I felt like drawing
Head empty. No thoughts, only them.
I’m working on a little comic!! This counts as part 1
I won’t lie, I fell completely in love with Pixar “Luca”, it reminded me that simple things are always going to touch people’s hearts in a different way.
It also portraited beautifully and ironically my country and the places I’ve grown up in.
I present you my favourite trio of the moment “The Underdogs”, gli sfigati

Ps. Italiani, consolatemi, sono l’unica ad avere ignorato l’esistenza del modo di dire “silenzio Bruno” fino all’uscita del film?
Camilo and Alberto were friends i’m telling you and Camilo sang the we don’t talk about Bruno to Alberto and that’s where SILENCIO BRUNO started
