Bucci Gang Reader! X Risotto part 4

51. “I thought…I thought I lost you.”

hello, nice to see you again :)

25.How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

-Risotto is a man of knowledge and understanding, he knows that his long-term goals will take time and, for the most part, is content with that. 5 years isn't that long a period, so although he wants to have a few changes in la squadra by that point, he knows that the reality will be less significant than that. In that time he sees himself still in the position of leadership over la squadra, perhaps with the ideal gain of higher pay and claimed territory, maybe spreading out la squadra into a couple sub branches on their hierarchy. His personal life sees no big changes whatsoever, though its highly likely that he would move a handful of times during those five years.

26.Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t work out?

-hahaha....

well...his plans for the future were to gain territory and pay, and then that changed into overthrowing the boss. There were conflicting opions on weither to take the title for himself, place a puppet politican in his place so that he could control passione without the heat on his back, or simply allow passione to fall apart and become their own separate gang. Each plan had its benefits and its downfalls, and many of these were discussed with the rest of the gang and then revaulated in private. With his skills and his stand ability, he had a lot of confidence that no matter what happened, he would be able to get out of it. If worst came to worse, he would flee the country and continue to be a criminal somewhere else (he would never live the life of a civilian, he decided that a long time ago).

28.Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?

-Well his worst enemy is the boss without a doubt, even if he was initially being petty for his reasons of overthrowing him, it doubled down as a personal thing when sorbet and gelato were murdered.

-He doesn't have a best friend. Even though the entirety of la squadra attempts to keep each other at arms length, they are really the only people they tend to interact with at length, so they have become close. But that doesn't mean they know each other that well, Risotto rarely spends one on one time with any member of his gang unless its by chance or a quick conversation.

33.Concept of home and family?

-Both are important to him, even though he believes he no longer possesses either and never will again. He sees his vengence on his cousins murderer to be a sacrifice on his part, to willingly give up the rest of his family and the ability to be a normal person for the sake of revenge. He doens't think very highly of himself in this regard, but he dug his own grave by hand and is fully committed to lie in it. Other people though, he is quick and open to judge. If he had known that the boss intended to kill trish he would have stepped in as well, though its less for her well being than him being even more angry at the diavolo.

47.If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?

-Someone quiet and timid, pretty normal and unassuming but clearly possess no threat to him. He likes that feeling of control, and his position kind of requires it, so he likes the idea of having a very openbooked partner that he knows inside and out. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that Risotto hasn't dated anyone since he joined passione, and thus he has unrealistic and unthought of desires for, what he assumes, is simply a hypothetical. What he needs, and what he will ultimately be attracted to, is someone genuinely kind, has strong morals, and is interesting to converse with. Someone that makes him think and reflect and explore ideas and things outside of his bubble is going to catch his interest, and giving him some sense of humanity is going to help stabilize his mind.

Bruno:

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

-Gay but has identified as Bisexual in the past. He was raised by a pretty traditional father, but he was open minded all the same, encouraging his son to be openminded as well. He doesn't see his sexuality as a very large or heavy part of his identity as a result, it's something he'll just casually mention in passing to a lot of people's surprise. He's never judgmental but he's open to questioning and discussion so long as it's alright with the other person.

42.  Hobbies?

-In his spare time, he really enjoys community work and community centered activities. He's a people person and he like to be productive, so helping a volunteer beach clean-up or going to trivia night at a small bar are things he does pretty often. When he's in a more private mood he probably does very self-focused things such as buying new expensive clothes, taking long baths, drinking, indulging in rare treats, etc.

Abbacchio:

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

-He's straight, and a lot of people seem surprised by that but it's because he's just very gender nonconforming and hard to phase. Learning how to be comfortable with himself did take a lot, but it was one of the small comforts he had during his initial depression, even if he went about, it unhealthily in the beginning (letting his hair grow out as a lack of self-care rather than a deliberate choice). Once he did become confident in his appearance and expression, he stopped giving a fuck altogether on what anybody thought. Why would he care if someone thought he was gay cause he likes to wear lipstick? He has so many irons in the fire that something like that seems damn near trivial in his opinion. (It does irritate him the more he hears it, but it mostly fuels his already strong self-loathing, and he ends up turning it into a deliberately unhealthy image of himself, but he refuses to acknowledge that.) As for other people, he doesn't care, straight up. He's supportive and open in this regard, but he's so passively openminded it makes it look like he could care less.

42.  Hobbies?

-He likes people watching a lot. Just enjoying himself in a public setting, like a cafe or a park, and just watching people wander about and go through their daily lives. It's one of the things that make him stop and think about things outside of his own life, like how deep and complex things can be beneath the surface despite how calm and average it might seem at first. Most of his hobbies are focused on intake, reading, watching, listening, buying, eating, without any strong desire for creation or expression on his part. Sometimes, if he's in a good mood, he might dress up a little more eccentric than usual, just to try it out, but only when he's at home.

Mista:

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

-Closeted Bisexual, but mostly because he isn't quite sure of his sexuality at the moment. He knows he likes women, but he's a little nervous about thinking of the possibility that he might be into men as well. It's not that he's not opened minded, he's just never taken it into consideration and now that he's thinking about it, it seems like a big deal. He's pretty carefree and open, but he has his moments of poor thought that's just rooted in lack of knowledge than anything. Can be a bit defensive if questioned/confronted in a certain way, or if he's reading the room in certain manner, but really, he's game to just let something slide with a small apology or correction.

42.  Hobbies?

-Since his brief incarceration and introduction to the bucci gang, he's actually picked up a few hobbies outside of eating cheese and watching Clint Eastwood films. He's become quite fond of Racquetball ever since Bruno suggested he pick up a physical activity to keep himself in shape, and he lets the pistols practice as well cause they have fun with it.

Narancia:

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

-Pansexual, and it took him awhile to come out due to his time in juvenal detention and hanging around delinquents for so long. Being a kid and having a bunch of other kids use sexuality and gender as threats and insults really took a toll on him when he started to realize he may like more than just women. After he joined the bucci gang though he started getting more comfortable with himself, mostly in due to Bruno's support and Abbaccios presence. He still tends to play his cards close to his chest when around people he doesn't know or trust, but around the rest of the gang he's as open as can be. Tends to be more knowledgeable on sexuality than people give him credit for, and he thought a lot about identifying as Pan rather than Bi, but in the end, he found that it better expressed his feelings towards how gender plays a role in his attraction to people. (Mista was present for this conversation and it made him think on his sexuality as well, choosing to indefinity as Bi for how his attraction feels compared to Narancia's.)

42.  Hobbies?

-Has always wanted to learn how to play an instrument but fails to keep up with practice. He's got both an acoustic and an electric guitar that he fiddles with on occasion but mostly just sit in his room collecting dust. Other than that, he's mostly down for whatever so long as he's around other people. He doesn't like to be alone for too long and doing things by himself often gets boring very quickly, so he likes talking to people and doing leisurely communal activities, like going out to eat with friends, the most.

Fugo:

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

-Demiromantic Bisexual, though he very rarely talks about it. His sexuality has been brought up in less than pleasant circumstances in his past multiple times, and that was before he was even out. He's not ashamed of his sexuality by any means, but he has the most trauma surrounding it and thus he is naturally dodgy around the subject. He'd rather people just assume he's straight that assume he's not, but he's trying to grow from it since he's in a more secure place in life. He can come across as cold and judgmental due to his avoidance of the subject, but he'll confess rather quick if he notices how he looks (not every detail, but enough for them to know to avoid the subject with him as well).

42.  Hobbies?

-Still reads out of habit and genuine enjoyment, but he tries to branch out and explore things that were limited to him in the past. He's one of the more expressive members of the bucci gang, with frequent dabbles into drawing, painting, singing (he won't admit to this though), cooking, etc. He also likes expericing new things, so any new restaurant that opens up or a new show in production at the local theater, he goes to. He can be talked into trying any activity at least once.

Giorno:

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

-Gay but currently identifies as bisexual. He's not entirely sure how to best express his sexuality at the moment, and bisexual seems to fit right mostly because he doesn't feel like he's not attracted to women yet. It'll take a bit before he realizes how the differences in his feelings towards men and women are actually more prominent that he originally thought, rather than simply a preference for men. He never gave sexuality much thought until he started living on his own, and he was always proud and resourceful enough for it to never be something that could be used against him. He's pretty open-minded and accepting, also open to conversation and exploration as long as the other person is ok with it as well.

42.  Hobbies?

-Enjoys reading both classic novels and comic books, prefers drama and horror above all else. Other than that, he's also communal person, usually people watching or making light conversation with people both to pass the time and to aid in his work. Usually likes going out and buying himself luxury items with other people's money, wanting to indulge and explore high-scale pleasantries since he has the money to do so. Also really likes card games like solitaire.

Trish:

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

-Uncertain and questioning at the moment. Mostly certain she likes boys but is open to the idea of possibly liking girls as well, refuses to use any label until she's sure something feels secure and right. Always fantasied about meeting someone as special to her as her dad was to her mom, really likes the highly romanctized aspect of romance as opposed to domesticity. Can be a bit judgmental and more on the closeminded side due to her current fixation on pop culture (for this timeframe) and her lack of experience and knowledge. As such she tends to believe in a lot of stereotypes and It's mostly this that causes her to be uncertain on how she feels about herself and others. But given time and conversation she'll open up both her mind and herself.

42.  Hobbies?

-Aside from the basic shopping for upscale luxury products and reading well-rating fashion and idol magazines, she also used to enjoy sculping when she was in school. It wasn't something she expected to like as much as she did, but she found herself wanting to do it again after finishing that particular art class. In the future she might pick it up again.
