Hi! If you’re new here, I’m Andie, and that’s not my real name! I have a question for all my fellow Luca fans, what is your personal head canon for adult Alberto’s appearance? This is just a little poll. If none of the three main options fit, go ahead and comment what you think for the whole world to see!

Many people noticed that Giulia has similar clothes to Tombo from Kiki's Delivery Service
But Luca and Alberto also have outfits, strikingly similar to those of Conan from old Ghibli cartoon Future Boy Conan!
In most concept art, Luca is wearing white shirt, more closely resembling the one that Conan wore for some time
But in the movie, it has blue stripes, more similar to the one that on Fio
It was confirmed that towns name Portorosso - is a reference to Porco Rosso (It was also a second name of Luca in early concepts)
Could Luca's shirt be another Porco Rosso reference?
In my opinion, Future Boy Conan must've had a huge inspiration on Alberto character, not only his design, but also behavior, lifestyle and houses very similar!
I highly recommend this classic anime!

Welcome to the Universe of SpiderLuca !! 🕷️🐠
continue for an introduction of everyone, their story, and more!! 🫶
this is luca! aka SpiderStar-Fish 🌊🐠💫
he's based off of - and was bitten by - a spotted fishing spider! (i won't put a picture for those afraid of spiders but feel free to look them up yourself)
his lighter, land suit is based off of his human form's shirt and the daytime sky. his darker, underwater suit is based off of his seafolk form and space.
this is giulia jane! aka luca's mary jane 💖
this is alberto! aka SpiderDreamer 🌃🌟
he's based off of - and was bitten by - a striped fishing spider!
his lighter, land suit is based off of his human form's tank top and his eye color. his darker, underwater suit is based off of his seafolk form. he has a hooded suit to resemble his tall hair and to parallel spidergwen's suit. this is to hint at alberto being luca's love interest and to acknowledge the parallels in his and gwen's stories.
so...what is their story?
luca paguro was bitten by a radioactive spider when he was 13 years old, and for the past 3 years... he hasn't been up to much..like at all. luca is *very* scared of being spiderman.
not to mention, his parents have a certain idea of his future that just.. doesn't include being spiderman. so for the past 3 years, luca has actively *not* been spiderman. if someone attacks portorosso, then so be it. he pretends not to care, because it's not his fault..right?
that is, until alberto scorfano shows up one day.
alberto scofano was bitten by a radioactive spider when he was 14, and for the past 3 years he's been trying, and failing, to be the spiderman his universe needs. alberto doesn't fit in his dimension as spiderman.
that's not to say alberto isn't a good spiderman! it's just..he seems to let his personal dreams and side-adventures get in the way of the *real* problems occurring around him. but he's still a good spiderman..right?
after the death of his father, alberto decides there's nothing left for him in a universe that doesn't care about him, and creates a one-time-use-only watch that allows him to travel to any universe.
luca doesn't know what to think when he sees a hooded, masked figure swinging through the streets of portorosso. is he not spiderman afterall? did his time run out since he's been idle so long and someone else is here to replace him? no, he's definitely still spiderman.
a few days pass of luca ignoring this new spiderman. he's doing a good job at keeping the town safe, and everyone is so glad to finally have someone to protect them. luca almost gets comfortable with using his webs just for recreational fun.
but this new spiderman isn't clueless.. he's been on the lookout for this universe's spiderman since the day he got there and when he finally finds him, he realizes why portorosso has been deserted of its spiderman for so long and decides to train luca on all things spiderman.
their training sessions proved to be very successful. luca is thriving as spiderman and he and alberto are making a great team. but alberto is disintegrating. he isn't meant to be in this universe and each glitch rubs it in more.
when luca finds out about this, he panics. he needs to help him. so when the spider society contacts him to join the society and explains how he would be able to visit any dimension without glitching if he did, luca knows what needs to happen.
through much convincing - "i wouldn't be spiderman if it weren't for alberto!" - luca convinces the society to accept alberto as their newest member instead and allow him to stay primarily in luca's dimension. being a member of the spider society provides alberto with the opportunities to chase his dreams in any dimension and gives him the sense of community he's been searching for. plus, with luca being able to keep portorosso safe all by himself, alberto gets to choose when to take on his spiderman duties vs spend time on his passion projects.
other info...!
luca's gwen is his childhood best friend. both their parents always assumed they would get married and luca did too until she died in front of him. he struggled a lot with what his life would look like without her since she was a major part in what he thought his future would be.
the dimension alberto asked his watch to go to was "a universe who needs me". it wasn't just portorosso who needed him :)
giulia jane meets luca and alberto during their first training session together, she doesn't see their suits or abilities but she does hear a large "CRASH!" behind her house and hurries them inside to tend to their cuts and bruises, eventually letting them stay for dinner too
(maybe more extra info to come! if i think of smth specific to add)
