FOREWORD  
Why This Document Exists  
This document exists because I have realised a problem that directly  
conflicts with the interests of the LuluC Cultural Revolution.  
A significant portion of LuluC's backlash in the western fandom does  
not stem from the ship itself. It stems from the conduct of its  
fans.  
That is a major problem, and it’s one that I will not ignore.  
"I'm honestly getting so fed up with CluClu shippers.. I follow this really good  
Suzalulu editor on TT and the comments are always always about CCLulu. I  
had just told a CluClu fan to mind their business and let us have our ship and  
they can have theirs but it's like one ear out the other.."  
- A anonymouys gimmick from @Holy_Requiem on twitter’s strawpage.  
– Shout out to you anon, I am writing this for you and anyone else  
who has been hurt my dumbasses on the net. <3  
Additionally, I also was made aware of this recently after sharing  
part of my manifesto to the C’s world Discord Server:  
"Sending gore to someone for shipping SuzaLulu isn't exactly behaviour that  
gives you a good impression of the ship." – @spinoinwonderland from C’s  
World

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
There are people who do not know basic fandom etiquette, or simply  
do not know how to act right online, and they are creating a deeply  
negative image for all of us. There are LuluC fans who are kind,  
creative, and genuine joys to the community that are being lumped in  
with these people who harass others. LuluC fans who build, who  
create, who love this ship with sincerity and intelligence — are  
being tainted by association with people who send gore into  
strangers' comment sections.  
This will not stand.  
I manage and maintain the Revoluluc website. I am one of the most  
active LuluC fans in the English-speaking side of this fandom.  
Whether I asked for it or not, my conduct and the conduct of people  
associated with this community reflects on the ship. And the ship  
deserves better than what some of us are currently giving it.  
This document is a call for a new era. It is a guide. It is a  
standard. And it applies to everyone who calls themselves a  
Revoluluc — and frankly, to everyone in this fandom regardless of  
what they ship.  
So, either act correct, or get out of the fucking way.  
Be better.  
Stop the wars and let us all be kinder, more enjoyable people to be  
around. :3

ABOUT  
Who Is Mari C.C.?  
My name is Marshall. Most people know me as Mari, or Mari C.C. I use  
he/they pronouns. I am an animation student, a digital artist, a  
visual novel developer, and a proud libertarian socialist. I am  
Ghanaian, and I live in England.  
I am, without question or competition, C.C.'s number one fan. I have  
two shrines dedicated to her. I have been in this fandom since  
August 2025. I run the Revoluluc website — a western LuluC archive  
featuring a creator directory, the C.C. Visual Archive, a reading  
list, and a growing body of critical essays about Code Geass. But by  
now you probably already know this.  
What you also know is that I love LuluC. But what I love more than  
LuluC is community. I love what fandom can be when it is functioning  
as it should — a space where people who care deeply about the same  
things find each other, create together, and build something that  
outlasts any individual contribution.  
That is what I am trying to build with the Revoluluc project. But it  
cannot happen if we are breeding fear and mistrust within the  
fandom. It cannot happen if people associate our ship with  
harassment and cruelty.  
I have met some of the most wonderful people  
in this fandom. Some of them ship Suzalulu.  
Some of them ship things I have never heard  
of. A ship does not dissolve someone of their  
personhood; we are all worth getting to know  
regardless of it.  
Thus, this guide comes from that very belief.  
I am not writing it from above; I am writing  
it as someone who loves this community and  
wants it to be worthy of the ship at its  
centre.

SECTION ONE  
What Is A Revoluluc?  
To be a RevoluluC is to be someone who does something more than just  
ship Lelouch and C.C. together. That’s a Cluclu shipper and there  
nothing wrong with that. But a RevoluluC is something more specific  
– more demanding.  
To be a RevoluluC is to be someone who loves LuluC enough to build for it, to  
create for it, to analyse it and live and breathe every single day. Someone  
who understands it as a culture rather than just a ship. A way of life almost.  
A RevoluluC is the type of person that understands that LuluC is in  
a content drought within the western fandom. They understand the  
fact that this drought is not because the shipper is lesser or  
"problematic" but is because the content economy around Code Geass  
has incentivised other things.  
Thus, rather than blaming other fans for the wickedness of  
capitalism, they do something about it. They create, they submit to  
the archive, they write fanfiction and make tiktok edits. They write  
analysis pieces. They draw fanart, they translate Japanese content  
into other languages to spread the notion. They are active, and by  
being active they help build the infrastructure necessary to making  
the community visible to itself.  
A RevoluluC is the type of person that understands the history of  
the ship - especially the hard work the Japanese’s fandom and their  
7
 
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
2 decades of devotion, the various names it has been given across  
the globe and its disappearance from western spaces. Not only do  
they carry that history with respect but they also attempt to  
maintain its presence and it's future. They welcome new fans, they  
are open minded to those who haven’t watched the show ten times  
over, or have read the oldest niche. We don’t deem people as larps  
(as long as they aren't stealing content from each other - fuck your  
semi-toxic discord servers). A RevoluluC would welcome these fans  
with open arms regardless if they had seen the show a week ago or 10  
years ago. Because even that is enough.  
A RevoluluC disagrees with other fans, this includes fellow LuluC  
fans. And they do it without making it personal.  
Why?  
Well, it's because this fandom is not a court. Nobody needs to be  
destroyed for having a different reading of the show. And if you  
cannot accept that - pack your shit and leave we don’t want you  
here.  
And most importantly, a LuluC is the type of person who understands  
that this cultural revolution is built on love. Not spite, not hate  
for other ships. Not on territory defended against outsiders. We  
reject right-wing populism.  
This Revolution is built on the backs of people who are genuine.  
People who hold genuine, embarrassing, shrine-bearing love for C.C.  
and Lelouch and what they represent.  
Thus, if you are trying to join this movement because you hate  
Suzalulu, Kalulu, Shirlulu or any other ship, not only do you have  
the wrong motivation but you are also washed. We are leaving you  
behind in the revolution.  
Come back when you love LuluC instead.

SECTION TWO  
The Problem — And Why It Cannot Stand  
Let's be frank, let's be Lampard.  
Let's not beat around the bush.  
Some LuluC fans have behaved appallingly online. As mentioned prior,  
going into Suzalulu creator's comment sections to start arguments,  
dismissing or talking over queer fans who relationship to this  
fandom is different from ours. And in extreme cases - yes extreme -  
sending harassment to people for shipping something different. This  
is not revolutionary behaviour; this is not behaviour you will find  
in a RevoluluC. This is incredibly embarrassing, abhorrent and  
entirely counterproductive.  
By you acting like a dickhead in someone else's comment section, you  
actively destroy everything that we are trying to build. How are we  
going to fill the content drought if no one trusts us to be in the  
fandom in the first place?  
It’s as simple as this:  
Every time a LuluC fan harasses another fan, not only is this incredibly  
harmful to that other fan but it also becomes evidence that our ship attracts  
a certain kind of person. That evidence gets used to dismiss the ship itself and  
the other members of the community who are trying to build something  
beautiful. You are making C.C. look bad. You are making Lelouch look bad.  
You are making all of us look bad.  
Stop it.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
The content drought we are waging war against is not caused by  
Suzalulu shippers. It is caused by the content economy. We must  
remember that Code Geass is a business, a franchise, and due to the  
constant flow of time - is starting to lose its footing in the  
western world. Algorithmic feedback loops did this. Fighting over  
fans does not address this, we must create content instead.  
Furthermore - and I mean this with my whole chest - the harassment  
of queer fans is especially unacceptable. Some of us are queer. I am  
a transgender man. Some Suzalulu fans are queer. Being a Luluc fan  
does not make us any more or less valid in the fandom.  
This is because having a ship preference does not equate to a moral  
heirachy. The damage to LuLuC's reputation is real and it must stop,  
because it harms all of us.

SECTION THREE  
The Eight Principles of a Revoluluc  
These are absolutely, completely undeniable. These are not  
suggestions, if you do not follow this with your heart we will not  
claim you as one opf our own. This 8 principles define what it means  
to be a member of this revolution. If you cannot meet them we will  
be leaving you behind – you don’t get to call yourself a RevoluluC.  
You are just washed.  
01. Build, Don't Fight  
Your time and your energy belong in creation. Those hours you are  
spending flaming someone’s comment section are hours you could spend  
on fanart, fanfics, analysis, translations, edits, fan games – the  
list is endless. If you got something to say about another ship,  
keep it to yourself and hit the drawing board.  
02. Critique the System, Not the Shipper  
LuLuc is not as popular as it used to be, it’s ao3 tag is dry the  
fanart has not been coming the edits don’t hit like they used to. We  
know this. It’s legitimate to examine the how the algorithimic  
feedback loops and content economy dynamic have pretty much killed  
the ship in western countries. You know what’s not legitimate  
though? Taking this notion and aiming it directly at the heads of  
Suzalulu and other non LuluC fans as if they are the ones who have  
personally caused the problem. They did not, the system did. And in  
like real political thought, you must attack the system and not  
scapegoat.  
11  
 
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
03. Mind Your Business, completely.  
If you do not have something constructive to add to a conversation,  
do not add it. If someone is creating content for a ship you do not  
like, scroll. If you disagree with a reading of a character,  
disagree respectfully or do not engage at all. The comment section  
of a Suzalulu creator is not your platform. You were not invited.  
Leave.  
04. Represent With Dignity  
Whether you asked to be or not, whether you like it or not, you are  
a representative of this ship. Every public interaction you conduct  
as an open LuluC fan is seen by both people who do not know the ship  
and people who do. Every act of harassment, dismissive content and  
pile on makes firsts impressions. These are the first impressions  
that build the external identity of a LuluC fan.  
Act correct. Make us worth meeting, because a lot of us are actually  
great people.  
05. Coexist Actively  
We must coexist. This is non-negotiable. Coexistence is not passive,  
its not just refraining from harassment (which in of itself is the  
bare minimum). What it is, is the active building of a fandom where  
multiple ships and readings can thrive and interact simultaneously.  
You will signal boost work you enjoy from other sides for the  
fandom. You will engage with fans who love different things. We must  
build bridges.  
And I promise you, the fandom is much funner when all it’s ships  
have a room.  
12  
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
06. Welcome New Fans  
Someone who just watched Code Geass and felt something about C.C.  
and Lelouch deserves a warm welcome, not a quiz on their fandom  
credentials. Not everyone arrives knowing the history of the ship,  
the Japanese fandom, the content drought. Calling people poses don’t  
do anything. We will welcome them with open arms. Because that’s  
what a revoluluC does!  
07. Credit and Honour Japanese Creators  
The only reason why LuluC isn’t dead in the ground is because the  
most devoted artists are in Japan. From @Creayus, to @io_ion_mall,  
@Okeseric – the list can go on and on and on. These goats have been  
keeping the ship alive for 20 years. Thus, when you share their  
work, you must credit them. When you encounter Japanese LuluC  
content, do not strip it of attribution. If you see someone else do  
that, credit the artist for them, make their work known. The Western  
revival of LuluC stands on the shoulders of dedicated creators from  
the Japanese fandoms, the patriots never gave up on the ship, and we  
will honour that.  
13  
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
08. Got Nothing Nice to Say — Shut up and Move On  
This is the last and genuinely simplest one, but it feels like the  
hardest, doesn’t it? If what you are going to say is not  
constructive, kind, useful or necessary- don’t say it. Fun fact, you  
actually aren’t obliged to respond to every provocation, or  
obligated to correct every wrong opinion. I know you want too; it’s  
a feeling I know all too well but I promise you I will not get you  
anywhere. You aren’t obligated to engage in bad faith, close the  
tab, touch grass and return when you have something worth  
contributing.

SECTION FOUR  
On Coexistence — Suzalulu and Every Other  
Ship  
Let me say this clearly and without ambiguity: this document applies  
to Suzalulu fans too.  
If you are a Suzalulu fan calling C.C. a paedophile in TikTok  
comment sections — this is for you. If you are going out of your way  
to dismiss or mock LuluC content — this is for you. If you have ever  
told a LuluC fan that their ship is invalid, out of character, or  
wrong — this is for you.  
Coexistence is not a one-way street.  
This document is universal; I’d imagine the traits in a RevoluluC is  
something you would want to see in any other member of the fandom. A  
Suzaloution if you will. (Nice one Mari)  
This applies to Suzalulu fans, Kalulu fans, Shirlulu fans – man  
pretty much everyone. I am only focusing mainly on Suzalulu fans  
because that’s the largest ship in the fandom and is rival ship of  
LuluC (which I think is dumb btw.)  
If you are a Suzalulu fan calling C.C. a paedophile in TikTok posts  
and comment sections – this is for you. I’ve seen you. If you are  
going out of your way to provoke LuluC shippers, mock luluC content,  
I’ve seen you and this is for you. If you have ever felt the need to  
tell a LuluC fan that the ship is invalid, out of character. That  
they watched the show with their eyes closed if they see a romatic  
connection between C.C. and Lelouch.  
I have seen you and this document is also for you.  
I have watched someone willing provoke LuluC fans and cause a  
completely avoidable and unnecessary argument in their TikTok  
comment section for what reason? Why must you actively create ship  
15  
 
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
wars? There is no need and it will only have you at the end of the  
day.  
Respect and Love and Kindness go both ways, if any one from any side  
is spreading hate you are washed and you need to do better.  
The goal of the LuluC Cultural Revolution is not the destruction of Suzalulu.  
It is the creation of a western fandom where LuluC has the space, the  
content, and the community it deserves — alongside every other ship, not  
instead of them.  
A lot of the people who have supported this site, supported me, talk  
to me, compliment my art, been my friend are Suzalulu shippers. I’ve  
met some beautiful, brilliant, generous souls who are deeply  
thoughtful about this work that have brought us all together. The  
deph of love and adoration that Suzalulu shippers have for their  
ship is genuine and its inspiring. None of this will ever be in  
conflict with LuluC. Both can exist, and through our revolution both  
will exist. Because both should exist.  
What cannot exist on either side is harassment, what cannot exist is  
the dismissal of queer voices. Not only those whose queerness is  
expressed through queer ships but those who are also expressed  
through het ones. I will not let ignorance and bad faith  
generalizations decide what genre of ships deserve to have serious  
engagement.  
Through this revolution, we are building something. And we are  
building something beautiful. Come build with us, or stay out of the  
fucking way.

SECTION FIVE  
The New Era — What We Are Building  
The LuluC Cultural Revolution is a passion project amongst other  
things, and I am really glad I have a lot of people helping me make  
this a reality. So far this is what we have built:  
The Revoluluc Website  
revoluluc.neocities.org — a western LuluC archive updated every  
Friday. The Creator Directory documents western LuluC fans and makes  
the community visible to itself. The C.C. Visual Archive catalogues  
every outfit she has ever worn with analysis. The LuluC Library is a  
community-submitted reading list of fanfiction and essays. This is  
akin to a nation having a home. A decentralized website without  
algorithms or ads purely deadicated to LuluC archival.  
The Manifesto  
A full theoretical and political case for LuluC — drawing on  
Gramsci, Butler, Anderson, Fanon, and more. A founding document for  
the ship's western resurgence. Drafting begins summer 2025.  
Code Geass: Blood†Stained Symphony  
A LuluC vampire AU visual novel in active development by Lobster  
Trilogy game studio. An episodic eroge following Lelouch as he  
slowly becomes sucked into the world of Vampire Politics through the  
help of one kuudere green-haired girl. Acts 1–3 targeting September  
2025. This is the most ambitious LuluC fan project in the western  
fandom – developed by 3 incredibly autistic teenagers.  
The Think Piece Series  
A growing body of Code Geass criticism from a socialist, queer, and  
analytically rigorous perspective. Your Goat Is Washed is live. Is  
Lelouch a Marxist or a Fraud? is in development. The Witch and the  
Mascot — on C.C., Cheese-Kun, and Marx — is coming. More to follow.  
17  
 
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REVOLULUC ✦ MARI C.C.  
Through stuff like this, it illustrates what being a RevoluluC is all about, not  
beef in comment sections. Actual, real things that fans like me and you can  
engage in and enjoy <3  
The content drought will end when we end it. And that will only  
happen not through demanding that others make less content for their  
ship but by making more content for ours. Don’t steal don’t fight,  
do it yourself. This is the only strategy that is worth our time.  
And I say to you, as LuluC’s self-prescribed representative on  
English speaking Code Geass twitter:  
Every piece of content created is a vote for the LuluC’s nations  
existence. Every kind hand extended to a new fan. Every submission  
to the archive, every fanart drawn, every fic and essay written no  
matter how poorly. Is a vote for LuluC to continue existing in a way  
that we love and adore.  
Lulu till I decay.

CLOSING  
A Final Word from Mari C.C.  
I wrote this document because I love this ship and I love this  
community — or rather, I love what this community can be.  
I am not perfect. I have not always handled fandom with the grace  
this document calls for. I am learning. We are all learning. The  
point is not to be perfect but to be better than we were yesterday.  
LuluC gave me things I did not know I needed. Gender euphoria. A  
language for the kind of love I wanted to understand. A community of  
people who felt the same things I felt. I do not want to be the kind  
of fan who poisons that for someone else.  
So, I am asking — as someone who genuinely cares about all of this —  
be kind. Create things. Welcome  
people. Disagree without cruelty. Love  
the ship loudly and the people around  
you gently.  
That is what being a Revoluluc is.  
That is what this revolution is for.  
VIVA LA REVOLULUC!!!  
luluc till i decay.
