it shows how similar they truly are in some ways and I think that's neat with everything we've gone through

gentle mulch
#

ryoshu got two h corp ids before meursault got one god bless women

stoic fjord
#

I assume NDaiyu Ryo isn't gonna have any particular synergy with Hong Lord given what we know

but i do wonder how exactly she'll work..

gentle mulch
#

when you guys say you do it for the Heishou and the Family Hierarchs can you include Jermasault like i do it for the Heishou the Family Hierarchs and Jerma

#

i hope she's bloise support

#

waiiiit

#

nevermind she has ncorp

#

i hope shes uhhhh

#

fuckin uhhhhh

#

uhmmmm

#

blurn????

stoic fjord
#

blurnoise

worthy haven
#

I need to remember to go on a big sharding spree

#

Before season end

stoic fjord
#

XYZ - Pequodmael
XYZ - theoretical Blurnoise NDairyo
XY - Gripclair
XZ - Cinq East Don
YZ - Shi Faust or BL Faust
YZ - NSang or Pequodsang
X - any burn ID tbh

#

I think that works right

#

at least 5 of each

stoic fjord

#

we're missing a blurn ID

#

Oh gdi I can’t use support ids for ish in canto v’s dungeon

#

Is my best option really drippy ish

stoic fjord
#

LCB Ish might unironically be better than Sloshmael iirc

cloud wadi
#

Eventually

#

In the bokgak

#

I can hope for Hierarch Xichun id

#

Or drifter id

stoic fjord
cloud wadi
#

Who would be hierarch Xichun

#

it'd probably be ishmael again, but i'd wanna see if they do sinclair

Sinclair in a qipao

cloud wadi
#

Oh this Ryoshu has drifter’s wine bottle

#

Which proves

#

Something

stoic fjord
#

drifter is either her mentor or she's an alcoholic

#

or

#

was

ebon forge
#

Or Ryoshu is crashing out before her canto even starts

split beacon
#

Been thinking about Between Two Worlds

#

I think it’s interesting how Kromer’s World of Darkness part of the song kinda frames her as not necessarily a victim but someone who maybe didn’t want to become what she is now or isn’t fully in control

#

Especially in light of the fact that she was apparently much less motivated and crazy prior to her exposure to the Glass Mirror

unique bane
#

i think between two worlds is about sinclair, not kromer

split beacon
#

So you think it’s Kromer who infected and changed Sinclair then

#

Probably a sound reading

#

I think there’s something interesting though just about like

#

Between our knowledge of how what the mirror shows you is entangled with your desires and background and the fact that Hermann seems to just show up and innocently show people the mirror and then act like she had no agency in what they did with that knowledge when they go “villainy time now”

I just learned that rolands birthday is on international family day lol

stoic fjord

that's fucking crazy 😭

bronze zephyr
#

Hm wondering if daiyu Ryo will replace maid Ryo

cloud wadi
#

Generally it does feel like mili boss songs are about the sinners

#

Not the bosses

#

Tiantian is definitely about Hong Lu

#

Anyways

#

I do agree it’s interesting

#

That mirror seems to turn people… one dimensional

#

It reinforces existing traits

#

Rather than allow them to develop new ones

atomic steeple
cloud wadi
#

How many ids did Ryoshu get this canto

ebon forge
#

I think… 2

cloud wadi
#

Two?

bronze zephyr
#

CAW and Daiyu

cloud wadi
#

Only two?

#

Feels like she needs more

ebon forge
#

Yeah

cloud wadi
#

Still

#

Assist attack would be really good

#

For generating more ego resources

bronze zephyr
#

Think the only one who didn’t was hong Lu?

#

And Outis?

cloud wadi
#

How many different weapons do you think Ryoshu’s bad end id will use

ebon forge
#

waiting for ryoshu to use 8 weapons

main scaffoldBOT
#

Just the one unsheathed sword

Charlie! ↩️

[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) How many different weapons do you think Ryoshu’s bad end id will use

cloud wadi
#

But I mean she’s a spider

#

That only will take her two arms to wield

#

What about the other four

#

(Assuming her two legs count as limbs unsuitable for weapons)

worthy haven
#

makes sense for the ryo ids

#

she was the lowest id sinner before her ncorp one

#

AND SHE STILL IS currently

#

with new id its balanced out again

dusty sigil
#

Where did she get the umbrella btw?

#

I recognize Daiyu’s spear, the Xue family guard’s swords, I think she might have had the axes the other bodyguards use too, but I don’t remember any umbrellas this canto

cloud wadi
#

I think it’s because she’s a hobo

#

So doesn’t have a place to store an umbrella

#

So she just carries it around with her

split beacon
#

ideally

#

ryoshu's assist attack will be Gloom

#

that would be SO good

stoic fjord
#

why gloom specifically?

split beacon
#

the most treasured ego resource

cloud wadi
#

Lots of powerful egod want gloom

#

But gloom skills tend to be underrepresented outside of sinking decks

stoic fjord
#

ahhh, ok

cloud wadi
#

Honestly it doesn’t quite matter what specific ego resource her s1 assist attack gives

#

Because uh

#

She has contempt awe

#

She can get any ego resource

split beacon
#

true

#

very true

lean fjord
#

Daiyu's was Gloom IIRC

#

so it seems likely this one will also be

bronze zephyr
#

Excited for the kit reveal

dusty sigil
#

She’s poise rupture yah?

bronze zephyr
#

Likely

cloud wadi
#

probably

bronze zephyr
#

Think rupture is confirmed but idk

cloud wadi
#

but Ryoshu's been known to get some bizarre skills before

dusty sigil
#

Wonder if she’ll have lord Hong synergy

cloud wadi
#

N Shu is bleed tremor

stoic fjord
#

I would assume outright anti-synergy

dusty sigil
#

Maybe yah

atomic steeple
#

Charge status idea
Pain/stress response
Granted to self and allies
As long as you have this status, gain up to x defense from charge count possessed this turn or spent last turn. Damage taken gives charge count.
Identities that grant this status, may give other benefits scaling off their own potency (so identities that can't get potency don't worry)

split beacon
#

I, uh, think there's some green Rupture hit particles in the trailer?

bronze zephyr
#

Ye I think so

#

Odds of her having poise are also pretty high

#

And perchance she’ll have bleed

#

Long shot maybe ut

cloud wadi
#

she'll be charge for some unfathomable rason

bronze zephyr
#

I think charge discard would be a cool gimmick

#

Not for Lin ofc but

ebon forge
#

nice theory i saw

#

they wanted drifter ryoshu, but because hes so bleed

#

they changed ryo to a [guardian who failed to protect] and gave night drifter elements to make it work better as a poise id over anything

#

which means they can reserve the night drifter id for the bokgak

Grab a screenshot yeah

hrmmm....

#

what trials are you taking?

#

I assume you're getting all the fusion gifts and such...

#

are you grabbing all the possible boosts to your clash power?

tired canyon
#

ye

stoic fjord
#

Downpour and the Toad Eye tremor gifts work wonders alongside a ton of other stuff

#

sinking support can also be helpful in the form of Midwinter Nightmare and Broken Compass

#

Bleed can help with speed control through the wires, as well as some of the other gifts

split beacon
#

Yeah take Downpour, Bell of Truth and Toad Eye as well as Melted Spring, Art, etc.

stoic fjord
#

uhhhhhh

#

what else.....

#

oh yeah uh burn

#

burn can help

tired canyon
#

eventually i just

get to a point wehere everything is hopeless

#

and i die

stoic fjord
#

there's a burn gift that does -4 offense level to enemies

#

I assume you have clear mirror calm water?

#

and are optimizing for E.G.O gifts and team slots?

#

like, Xishmael in slot 6, I think, for her unique Spring Cultivation gift?

tired canyon
#

ye

stoic fjord
#

hrm

#

strange

#

the only thing I can think of is just the fact I have everyone at UT4 with this kinda team but it shouldn't matter that much

eternal berry
#

if you don't get secret bosses then potentially you may be unable to clash on the first turn

stoic fjord

tbh I've been able to clash first turn recently depending on gifts

in which case you will have remembered to get the EGO gifts that give you mulligans to survive the first turn

stoic fjord
stoic fjord
eternal berry
#

with the right gifts sometimes EGO can clash on t1 as well

#

though you need the ones with a bunch of coins

stoic fjord
#

I actually just don't use E.G.O at all in MDE

#

and usually just get favorable clashes on floor 15 with 50 adv.

#

first turn

#

I don't know what I'm doing right

eternal berry
#

it might also just come down to which mounting trials you pick

tired canyon
#

i am doing a run rn
using this one

tired canyon
eternal berry
#

tango marinade is clash power based on faster speed difference (3 max, speed/3 formula)

#

red gossy nerfs enemy offense/defense level based on bleed and generates a fat bleed stack on 'em at the beginning

tired canyon
#

....

#

the myo sauce...

#

but no i didnt know that that was a thing

stoic fjord
#

it's why Hell's Chicken is genuinely the only stage 2 for any run ever

eternal berry
#

yeah you always pick hell's chicken for it, it's exclusive to that theme pack

#

if you don't get it just reset

tired canyon
#

man mde is a lot more involved than i tought

stoic fjord
#

I always gift search investigator badge and tango marinade, as well as a third relevant gift for the team, and always go on the same route

tired canyon
#

i would say that you should post a doc guide but

the season is almost over

eternal berry
#

MDE is something you don't do too many times. I just do it every week because I'm a day 1 player so it's the only thing outside of story and RR that still gives me some stimulation

stoic fjord
#

one of the main things ime is that it's okay to delay a certain pack to get Line 2 on floor 4

#

because the HP really helps you at the very least keep more IDs out of stagger for turn 2

eternal berry
#

you'll dip every single keyword to stack as much offense level down on the enemy as possible

#

get as much coin power as is practical for yourself, etc.

stoic fjord
#

dual status is also strong for this reason

#

more things to get power with

#

though also Roostercliff was one of my best clashers on floor 15 and I wasn't exactly running Burnture dual status

eternal berry
#

yeah, I think the only monostatus team I can reliably do MDE with (without secret bosses) is Tremor

#

Because I can just crutch on the 2 TKT fusions and Caposault to win everything

eternal berry
stoic fjord

I saw a stream on the PMoon channel recently actually

#

I think it was just MD lol

dusty sigil
#

Oh huh

#

I just realized

#

Daiyu Ryoshu is almost certainly a poise unit

#

And I just sharded maid Ryoshu for poise…

tiny cave
#

Almost certainly poise bleed (night drifter) or poise rupture (daiyu) or poise bleed rupture (both, in which case she’s gonna be terrible at all 3)

#

Seems to be more assist attack/assist defense focused?

split beacon
#

I hope she's either a full Poise ID or a Bleed ID with Bloodpour

#

seeing as we already got N Shu I doubt we're getting a Bleed ID or one that infringes on N Shu's spot on the blemoise archetype that the League of Nine team seems to want to rep, and we got Rupture visual effects briefly here and there in the trailer, so I reckon she'll be rupoise and designed to have a funny interaction with Hong Lord

Dragons also are likely to be sinking or charge

cosmic gorge
#

dunno about charge but i can see sinking

atomic steeple
#

Just due to rain connection

#

Storm clouds

#

But sinking is more likely for dragon

tiny cave
#

we're gotten
burn (cock)
no bleed
tremor (uma)
pure rupture (mao)
sinking (goat)
poise (snake)
no charge

#

so i'm gonna guess charge or bleed

atomic steeple
#

My guesses
Tiger bleed
Dog charge

tiny cave
#

unless they're gonna do something weird like def level

#

tiger bleed makes sense ye

atomic steeple
#

Dragon sinking

tiny cave
#

i'm all in on dragon def level like zwei ids

atomic steeple
#

Dog might also have the cinq mechanic of focusing on a target
Or, they do assist counters

cosmic gorge
#

what do dogs do in chinese symbology

tiny cave
#

loyalty

atomic steeple
#

Could do like Lancer gorgon and set up a reaction attack mode

#

The funny thing is
It would probably make charge even more tied to the middle if the mechanics mesh well

worthy haven
#

I could see boar bleed, but tiger or dog seems more likely ye

#

maybe rat for bleed, death by a thousand cuts

atomic steeple
#

Dogs have been envy and charge coded

cosmic gorge
#

boar charge might be interesting

#

because thats what boars do

#

ba dum tss

atomic steeple
#

True

dusty sigil
#

Hmm, does Outis have a better poise ID then her Cinq ID?

atomic steeple
#

Boars or oxen could work for a more durable, ramp up style with charge

tiny cave
#

blade lineage which is a bottom 5 id

#

cinq

#

and magic bullet which is technically a poise id

dusty sigil
#

Also how is cinq Sinclair in modern poise?

dusty sigil
tiny cave
#

cinqclair is fine

worthy haven
#

Please some more non BL (pride) poise units next season

dusty sigil
worthy haven
#

si are like eh fine in pure poise but dont feel super great

#

Or hybrids with S1/2 poise or pride def skills

fickle crown
#

Maidshu's still somewhat viable if you can get her poise buildup going

#

S2 attack weight is very nice

crimson spindle
#

maidshu is genuinely super strong and has an evade

dusty sigil
#

I know she’s viable rn

crimson spindle
#

making her superior in a lot of situations

dusty sigil
#

I’m more just worried she’ll be powercrept with the new ID

gentle mulch
#

nahhhhh it'll be a hybrid id

main scaffoldBOT
#

Daiyu is prupture and Night Drifter is bloise right?

bronze zephyr
#

Oh does drifter have poise?

main scaffoldBOT
#

Yeh, in his final fight his Swig status effect starts giving him poise potency and haste

bronze zephyr
#

Icic

main scaffoldBOT
#

...and his evade gives him poise potency and count apparently

stoic fjord

I think it would be funny if we got Blupturoise and it was actually solid on all fronts or smth

atomic steeple

What is morimens about

faint pivot
# atomic steeple What is morimens about

Stuff so different it's kinda unfair to compare the two
But tl;dr: ||it's an eldritch themed Slay the Spire except you build your deck like you do with Limbus' teams (characters add their own cards to the deck you pull from, and come with their own ults - you have your own, by the by, and can choose from multiple others). You fight a paracausal force of entropy that overwrites every trace of one's existence with its own alongside those who seek to use it for their own goals. Your cast is composed of people who were lucky enough to have access to a silver core to reconstitute themselves from||
Spoiler has no spoilers, just blotting out info

#

Perception, the past/memories, and connection are some of the big themes I've noticed but I'm pretty new so tis surface level gleaming I'd say

#

I must say though, there's no content warnings but by Limbus' standards I'd say it'd compete with its own if it came with any, since they delve into extremes as a common juxtaposition, especially when it comes to the 4 realms/"schools" your cast employs

stoic fjord
#

I gotta try this game...

faint pivot
# stoic fjord I gotta try this game...

Just incase: content warnings I'd give are, in no particular order, ||suicide, domestic abuse, child abuse, graphic violence & gore, body horror, existential dread, experimentation on humans (not animated, but described). There's probably more. And on the realms themselves, the water realm has thassalophobia-inducing stuff alongside imperialism and birth-related body horror, while the realm of endless desire brings forth lots of gestures towards sex and some cannibalism on the side. The realm of order, Ultra, is commonly wielded by people ground up by or used as tools by systems/institutions, meanwhile Chaos takes elements from the other 3.||

faint pivot
# atomic steeple What is morimens about

Pinging just incase my blurb interested you too so you see the content warnings, but I'll also add that this is a more gacha-y gacha than Limbus (somewhere lower 'round Arknights & Genshin levels), so please keep that in mind

faint pivot
#

Nvm it just didn't have any

stoic fjord
#

I managed to grind for Roostercliff in like one week with a little grit and determination

faint pivot
#

Yeah I'm hooked but a gacha's a gacha

#

And Limbus has so far proven more satisfying in general so like, apples and bananas, ymwv

stoic fjord
#

Mhm

#

I liked Wuthering Waves and plan to keep going through the story soon but like

#

Its gacha detracts for me to a degree

#

Whereas with Limbus I barely notice

#

Because I get to save up for one specific thing, pull, and then get whatever I want anyways by playing a mode I enjoy

#

Whereas with WuWa I pull on the banner for the character or I don't get them unless it's a rerun or maybe also random chance?

#

But also the combat is satisfying and the animations are cool so I probably should get back into it

#

I'm just a little burnt out on open worlds

#

Limbus has a world that feels alive and interesting and its story is literally presented through a visual novel

#

It doesn't need to be ultra-immersive or anything to be good

She’s largely a puppet of the elders

split beacon

giving the impression that she won the hierarch evaluation as a wildcard candidate with little military might or backing (considering we know the Shi clan is weak), and as a hierarch was a scared little girl begging for and clinging to the power of the Elders to support her claim

Desperate for their approval

#

Lot of wild card victories happening in these hierarch exams

#

I almost wonder if elders intentionally push a weaker candidate to win

#

So that they have a person more desperate to be a puppet

#

Kong family had to be eliminated because they became strong enough to be the center point of H Corp regardless of who sat in the throne

#

Which probably threatened the elders status quo

split beacon
#

they probably manipulated that hierarch evaluation so that a Kong clan candidate couldn't win, because doing so would threaten their position, and as a result a weak candidate took the Hierarchship

She was a genius prodigy who seems to have just wanted approval

cloud wadi
#

Yeah she genuinely is the most brilliant bolus maker of her generation

dusty sigil
#

Makes sense

#

She retained that in her old age

cloud wadi
#

Well having all the combined genius and knowledge of past hierarchs of Hongyuan probably helped maintain that

Kinda annoyed that in the few fanarts of young jia miu ive seen, they gave her white hair

cloud wadi
#

Ryoshu will eventually get Xichun and baochai id too

dusty sigil
cloud wadi
#

I uh

#

Don’t think so?

#

It’s unclear if she has any relation to Jia family in that mirror world

dusty sigil
#

Because the one who’s hand they let go of is implied to be their child, but also for Hong Lu it’s still their sibling

cloud wadi
#

Yeah she has her own reasons for joining n corp and it’s not because of family troubles

dusty sigil
#

Well then

#

Fuck

cosmic gorge
#

She might actually be some foreign agent messing around in h corp in that world

cloud wadi
#

But yeah she’s not part of any hierarch examination in that mirror world and more interested in turning enemies of n corp into artwork

dusty sigil
#

As she wants to very often

cloud wadi
#

She’s in it only because she thinks the Director’s plans will be interesting to watch up close

#

Whether it succeeds or blows up spectacularly

dusty sigil
#

Also I know the director is referred to as Hermann in that mirror world

#

But man

#

We better have N Corp director Gregor eventually

cloud wadi
#

I don’t think the director is ever named?

dusty sigil
#

I’m like 90% sure Yi Sang does

#

Either by name or just by using she or her

#

Either way, not Gregor

cloud wadi
#

Nah the director is only ever referred to as the Director

#

Never a pronoun

#

Which kinda makes sense

dusty sigil
#

Ah i see

#

Director Gregor real

cloud wadi
#

Because the Director is kinda a pronoun in Korean

#

It’s very very common to refer to a corporate director as Director

#

In place of he or she

#

In Korean grammar

dusty sigil
#

Ohhhh

#

I didn’t know that

#

Gregor transitions from man to CEO

cloud wadi
#

If you get to any position of importance

#

People start referring to you by your title more than your name in Korean lmao

dusty sigil
#

Damn lol

#

Man, I wanna actually fight Hermann

cloud wadi
#

Same idea as referring to the king as like “his majesty” etc

dusty sigil
#

I wanna know what’s up with her arms

cloud wadi
#

She stole ciocio’s coat of many arms

dusty sigil
#

Lol

worthy haven
#

I def wanna see more of Hermann ye

dusty sigil
#

How likely do you think she’s also got bug arms?

worthy haven
#

we had a convo recently about how we havent seen her arms yet

#

only sleeves

#

well except within gregors fathoms*

dusty sigil
#

Yah

#

But you know it’s been years since he’s seen her

#

They might have changed

worthy haven
#

I really like how her goals honestly are more insane but at the same time more "grounded" then a lot of other people we have fought over the cantos

cloud wadi
#

She might have prosthetics and just hides them to avoid causing issues when interacting with hammers

worthy haven
#

Her goal is very carmen

stoic fjord
#

so that gets her points

worthy haven
#

ye thats the thing right

#

There is clear rationality behind her goals

#

she is chasing a goal alligned with the Cities purest purpose

#

To cut down on maintenance costs, they removed four of the seven trumpets to streamline the workflow and ensure optimal performance for the quarter

dusty sigil
#

I’m like 90% sure there are 7 trumpets

cloud wadi
#

Yeah

dusty sigil
#

It’s just by the 4th one the facility is already in full meltdown

#

And a reset is required

cloud wadi
#

There are seven trumpets according to lobcorp manual

#

It’s just yeah

#

Fourth trumpet is “facility’s fucked”

dusty sigil
#

5 onwards are just various levels of “the city is fucked”

#

But that’s not your problem!

#

You’re the manager not the head

cloud wadi
#

Fourth trumpet I think is “l Corp is fucked”

#

Five onwards is like “haha human extinction is nigh”

#

I do love that Head wouldn’t consider abnormalities fucking up entire south side of the city to be an existentially threatening issue

gentle mulch
#

theres like

#

3/4ths more city to go through

dusty sigil
#

Ok yah looking it up

#

4th is total facility collapse

#

5th is breakout of all abnormalities

#

6th is fall of L Corp

#

7th is total human extinction

cloud wadi
#

I like that the fourth trumpet implies that the original plan for game over would be you detonating the site’s onboard nuke

dusty sigil
#

Honestly, doubt that would do much tbh

#

Best case scenario is that it delays the end

cosmic gorge
#

onboard nuke on an SCP facility seems on brand

I woke up again today. Another monotonous day after monotonous day. Another prescript has come in. I take it and read it aloud. A basic command from the city’s will. Kidnap the first person you find on the street and trap them in your basement. Film their struggle to escape. I put on my mask, grab the syringe and walk outside. I hope this video will be as watched as my last.

Chat, outside of the Angela art, does she read like a pmoon reference???

Someone says they’re like a blatant reference but I don’t see it

I feel like the name isn’t going to be that obvious? nso_emoji_face_sob

All of the cheeky small things do add up, they may not know what it's a reference to but there's so much that is reference shaped, if that makes sense

ebon forge
#

Just as a note

fluid whale
#

Yeah, I'm aware, I'm ignoring the art

ebon forge
#

Is it really that many references?

#

I only did Angela as the name intentionally…

#

The rest was just vibes

fluid whale
#

Well lemme just say what I see as one who only knows stuff from this chat

#

Named Angela
Smoke War
Goal of obtaining knowledge she is missing
Skill called Library
Heirloom about knowledge one could only dream of

#

I know nothing about what is mechanics for this game and what is flavorful, it all matches to what she is but how much is chicken and how much is egg I'm not clear on

ebon forge
#

Ohhh god nso_emoji_face_sob

fluid whale
#

If your vibes are aimed at a character, they will end up looking like that character

ebon forge
#

Yeah smoke wars is a literal event in the world I planned far before her…

Yeah half of these are not intentional lmao

The Rolodex thing is because they were literally incredibly valuable stuff in the past

Feigning subservience only to go out of line also fits

So is her retiring

Also being a ||synthesized person (idk what Doll is in this context)||

Like idk tarot readings but just to lay out how Ange connects to the keywords in isolation alone:

  • Sacrifice: ||Both the employees under her management and herself are offered on the altar of greater good||
  • Waiting: ||Again and again and again and again and again and||
  • Uncertainty: ||Why was I made? Why does A hate me? Why are we chained here? Is this hell worth it?||
  • Lack of direction: ||Poor lass had to figure things out through literal trial and error||
  • Perspective: ||Hers is molded in LobCorp and broken/reshaped in Ruina||
  • Contemplation: ||What else does she spend the loops doing?||

im too good at characterization for my own good nso_emoji_face_sob

Cool

#

Man, Lord Hong Lu is such an interesting bad end ID

#

Because he’s not even a bad person really

#

His only fault was that he centered all power in himself (and also killed a bunch of people but we don’t have to talk about that)

#

So when he dies his new system will almost immediately collapse

split beacon
#

I mean he is kind of a bad person

#

There's a reason his sin affinities are that of Gluttony and Pride - he's decided he's the only one he can trust and that he's simply built different and immune to the corruption of power, so he takes literally every drop of power he can possibly amass as quickly as possible and immediately starts making gigantic, sweeping changes with it towards the end of creating a better Hongyuan, damn the consequence and damn anyone who gets in his way

dusty sigil
#

Yah that’s all true, but of all of the bad end IDs we’ve gotten so far he’s the only one who has the betterment of the city in mind, other then I guess captain Ishmael if you drink her kool aid about the whales being the source of all evil

#

Lord Hong Lu is working towards a more just and livable Hongyuan, buy yah claiming all power for his own and destroying all evil in the district and eventually the city

#

His path is the Hegemon, a singular system where he holds all power and destroys all evil

split beacon
#

His selfishness is a more subtle and therefore more dangerous kind than, say, Gripclair's direct willingness to commit hate crimes for Kromie Faust's attention or doing a terrorism for nostalgia's sake in spicesang's case

#

another good example being Manager Don actually - she's another bad end character who seems less overtly selfish than Captain Ishmael or Gripclair, but if you look at her motivations honestly, she's going "fuck it all, I (personally) am tired of trying to lead my kin to a better place and find a balance between us and humanity, so let's just give up and get to sating our thirst for blood"

#

and like, shit

#

Manager Don is understandably exhausted but also that's endorsing mass murder because you're sick of trying not to anymore

main scaffoldBOT
#

He also doesn't actually solve any of the real problems, his solution to restructuring day would fail the moment he dies
And when he does die there is not gonna be anyone able to defend the wing from inevitable invasion unless he set up a contingency to give all the leashes to someone else (and given what he did with everything else, we don't think he had the foresight to do that)

worthy haven
#

but at the same time

#

He wants and will start a wing war

stoic fjord
worthy haven
#

because he wants to get a powerup since its not enough what they currently have

dusty sigil
worthy haven
#

it is basically gambling away the life of everyone in his care

#

#

It’s over

#

I moreso mean like...

#

hard to put into words

dusty sigil
#

He’s collected all strength and authority in himself

stoic fjord
#

like

split beacon
#

he gets a taste of it when he strongarms the Xianren and after that it's just

#

more and more and more power

dusty sigil
#

The moment he dies either that strength and authority will fall away and Hongyuan will fall to chaos, or someone else will claim that strength and authority and Hongyuan will be at the whims of whatever despot succeeds him

stoic fjord
#

know what nvm, other thing, imo, Lord of Hongyuan simultaneously feels incredibly cynical and dangerously idealistic at the same time from what I remember of the UT story and such

split beacon
#

and it's not Pure Evil he's got reasons for it and we can clearly see that he goes from someone who's been stifled their whole life and never made a single decision to immediately and directly being rewarded with choice and freedom when he starts taking things from people by force

#

but he's not a good dude

dusty sigil
#

He’s cynical in his lust for power, that no one else can be trusted to wield such authority, and idealistic in thinking he’ll be able to wield that power

stoic fjord
split beacon
#

it's honestly mad funny that Hong Lord's villain origin story is that a cabal of evil immortal wizards ruined his life for his entire childhood and then taught him to bully people if you want the power of self-determination

Also, lord hong lu is described as being driven by disgust for humanity

i think the fact that he doesn't have shin, mang or ego is to display him as less learned and possibly less wise than kong qiu

The main thing that tells you this Hong Lu is bad is the well in his intro splash

cloud wadi
#

Hes trying to steal psychoments from ego users im pretty sure

#

And experimenting on distortions

#

To learn more about how to wield the Light

keen palm
#

The well is empty, he does not truly possess love for anyone or anything anymore

#

He wants a kinder world because its the first thing he ever wanted that he couldnt get

cloud wadi
#

He’s ended up doing the same thing the elders did

#

Kill innocent people for no reason aside from thirst for knowledge and power

#

Egotist just wanted to be left alone, that’s why there was a whole ass multiple singularity tier barriers around his place

#

And he sent like four Heishou packs just to ensure they could secure him for experiments or smth

#

Hes also throwing out that better world thing by actively starting a war of the wings

#

Gonna milk them for enkephalin and war tech

keen palm
#

Gonna milk them

cloud wadi
#

Egotists are really wild though

#

Just a random nobody who can control the weather and raise walls of ice and stone roughly on the same level of toughness as X Corp Alloy

Also what the fuck was that Jian guard able to do shadow clone jutsu

cloud wadi
#

I think that was a guy distorting

#

Since heathcliff mentions the guy fell to his knees like he was in despair just before that happened

#

Oh yeah it’s labeled “distortion”

#

I wonder if blood flame swords are bloodfiend based tech

#

Since heathcliff mentions that while You branch bloodflame weapons use flammable oils

#

It’s actually based on some technique used by another faraway group who sets their own blood on fire to use as weapons

dusty sigil
#

Are there any bloodfiends with fire based blood?

cloud wadi
#

No but I can easily imagine there’s one

#

Either that or it’s a teaser for next canto

#

Where it turns out Ryoshu uses that kind of technique or smth

Trust

cloud wadi
#

There’s few people who would be crazy enough to use their own blood as fuel

#

One are the bloodfiends

#

Another is Ryoshu

#

And then there are some robots but I don’t think they are city legal

#

Oh no

cloud wadi
#

Hell is full

#

The city is hell

#

Distorted Gabriel vs Egotist V1

#

Actually, I think Gabriel would manifest an EGO

gentle mulch
#

he might be doing that right now

cloud wadi
#

Gabriel didn’t succumb to despair

#

He got mad

#

He killed everyone who slighted him

#

As god intended
