I think Gregor is that Kaiju
there's definitely a lot more going on with Gregor than we've gotten into so far
Adam Kadmon is a pluripotent undifferentiated superbeing with all of the potential of mankind wrapped up into one living man
that unites all the powers of God (the Light in this case) in one being
I do think the likelihood of Gregor somehow being connected to The Event is fairly high
though that would possibly mean we actually get Malkuth soon
I think it's notable we still haven't seen the partial transformation mentioned in his intro happen to him, probably because he's repressing strong emotion in order to keep his arm under control
" However, an upsurge of emotion or a sudden change of environment may cause parts or the whole of his body to transform into insectile (notably akin to a carapace, resembling that of the _________) tissues."
-Gregor's intro, Selva Obscura
Given that and the Sephirot iconography on his arm, there's definitely something coming down the line for him
Absolutely
IIRC it was mentioned that making the contract with Dante has suppressed Gregor's arm somewhat
and it's less active than it used to be
Gregor has been holding basically everything back to suppress his arm and I think that might have something to do with why his birthday present remains wrapped as well
Like you can tell that he’s always practicing this aloof, disconnected affect where he never gets too real about things and just sorta disengages when conversations get serious
Last time we saw him get real about a topic was also one of the first times in a long time, which was the siege warfare class in Spring Cultivation
I have to wonder
If you stunk SO BAD you instantly killed people who smelled you
Would that count as a taboo
Would an arbiter come to force you to take a shower
What the fuck
Very similiar to Rodion, which is probably why the two get paired a lot (in the narrative, but also in shipping, to clarify)
+them both being outsiders, Rodya feels uniquely unspecial when compared to the rest of her coworkers, Gregor- well, it's his whole thing
Genuine question about what counts as making death too easy
Also because of their interactions
Like, you’re a walking chemical warfare weapon
also
i like to imagine valencita met binah once
and she's trying SO SO hard to match her aura
I love my goats, manifesting something similiar to TKT for Gregor
but she's such a fucking BUM she couldnt even match 1% of it
anyways my bet is that long before an Arbiter showed up to decide life or bath
Hana Association kill teams would appear to ensure a Star of the Shitty falls that day
also wtf is bad end ryo's status and her gameplan gonna look like
So far: Index
Realistic take: I think she’ll be a special cross-faction unit that gains buffs depending on what Finger Syndicate units are deployed
As wack as it would be
I think that if we got a full Index team this Canto and just ignored all the other cool designs it would be mad fucking funny to see ppl crash out
I mean I think we should expect bad end IDs to be team captains at this point
Next two banners cinch it tbh if it’s Index into Index then this season moves according to the Will of the Prescript and we are all living in Yi Sang’s world
i feel like it'd make a lot of sense for her to be poise bleed burn
The last 2 have been yah
And captain ish before that
index/middle/thumb status
Only wild hunt broke the cycle
Gain damage increase based on Syndicate IDs (Max X%) Deployed and in Backup, and additional damage increase based on Syndicate IDs with unique faction names (Max X%)
on the other hand, if anyone could get the selfish ID with no team synergy, it could be Ryoshu
i feel like tremor makes a lot of sense here, unironically
I guess he is if you kill your friends lol
he's also reliant on echos, no?
Oh yah I guess so
Gregor blacked out, went kaiju, then woke up clueless
Outis: That was gregor? Fuck
I mean he’s count negative but he’s only as reliant on echos as most count negative sinking units are, which is a lot
Big dog loves him some manor wifi
He’s taking ALL the bandwidth
To watch Cathy’s vtuber stream
Pulling up to family heir gregor's house just to steal his wifi
The wild hunt for Gregor’s Wi-Fi password
Bad End Ryoshu's Unlock stages will be replaced by Severing stages
Incorporate Burn as a main status (+ a hybrid) (Thumb)
Have a pseudo-ammo mechanic like FF Gregor (Thumb)
The aura of sukuna
Include self-sacrificial/counter model gameplay like the Middle
Variable affliction (Ring)
and have a sword (Pinky)
Lament Mourn and Despair (the password was changed(
Heathcliff hits you with the BITRATE BLAST and your wifi fucking dies
Sukuna is actually the hand which controls the fingers because he has 20 fingers which is more then 5
Sukuna’s getting his pockets run by a Proxy and that’s a fact
sukuna becomes utterly fraudulent without gege to write his wins. wiped by city rats
Omg Wednesday is trichillocosm reveal we can glean insight into seasonal Ryoshu
yuuuup
And tmrw we get a teaser for next week’s banner I think
i really hope so
Albina Sinclair plz
It’s definitely going to be a pivotal story character
I want Lucio Gregor
Like Xichun
Because him escaping Hermann just to run into another abusive and controlling mother would be very funny
im gonna be bp 260 tomorrow 
LOL
Oh wild I’m only at. I forget lol
He can't catch a break 😭
bruh I'm at fucking BP 68
how wild?
Im definitely less than BP 120 rn
Also genuinely, besides the ones we know what sinners do you think will get the nursefather and apprentice IDs?
I hope so
and this is literally just hanaish
I'm uhhhhhhh, low in the bp since my recent cyberpunk 2077 playthrough has been consuming time
my called shot is Ishmael Shiomi Yoru
Ishmael was born to be free, but tied down.
I'm BP 88 I think
Rodion Valencina
another Asian woman Ishmael ID
yes
I think they actually map fairly well
I think shiomi Outis would be cool
how easy you forget
Rodion for all her niceties in like Rodion (miserable) form
it is i
I was looking for it
your irish american daughter
could absolutely be a Valencina type if her ego wasn't shredded
Rodion has a bitter side to her that could be hyper-emphasized with a Valencina id, yeah
Oh god the horrible implication if Gregor gets the Lucio ID like I think
honestly I'm just looking forward to hearing about what makes finger synd members obligated to participate as a nursefather
I was gonna say, the intimidating Chachihu
called shot 2 the fathoms won't be Ryoshu's because she's brain damaged
they'll be stitched together from the Nursefathers' memories
that's right
to create a tapestry picture of Ryoshu's backstory
Either that or the fathoms will be fucked
we're going back in time to the nursefathers memories to take RYOSHU. OFF. THE MENU
who are you saying that to dante
we're going back in time to the nursefathers memories to take RYOSHU. OFF. THE MENU
I'm thinking it's an infinite house deal and the part 3 drop is like
The Dungeon
and story nodes
The House
With how it’s a huge trap for limbus
The Spider's House
it's absolutely a trap
Turns out we’re doing house of leafs instead
Awesome Ryoshu
Evil and intimidating House of Spiders
It's absolutely a fucking trap, we're walking into the spiders web
it's going to end so fucking badly for this raid
was never to fight the Nursefathers on their own terms
they don't fight on even ground
The real question is who gets a Kira ID
believe it or not, the creature again
I was gonna say Don but she’s taken
So Meursault instead
release the creature!
Kira could genuinely be Ish
Meursault is my crack pick (never going to happen but it would be so fucking funny)
Yeah Don for Sora made me go ??? bc she’s perfect for Kira
I could see Kira getting into J&J
Meursault I think will be Ren
He’s one of the apprentices who clearly understands his role
As a tool
For his more important sister
I thought Meur would get an index ID, still hoping for it tbh
Also wait if the theory that Dihui Star is already dead is true that means MORE DEAD MOM ANGST FOR MEURSAULT
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can you imagine they pull a butler Sinclair on us and never give us Rien Yi Sang
I mean I’m kinda assuming we’re a ways off from nursefather IDs
Just because they’re being presented as like, absolute monsters
Strength wise
Index Handler Meursault
KJH loves Yi Sang
I wanted meur rien, alas
He looooves giving him powerful IDs
anyways we won't get IDs for every apprentice and every Nursefather
New sinking build coming out with Rien Yi Sang
I'm thinking probably Middle and Ring are unlikely
Yeah
Didn’t even get a Xue Pan ID
watch Rien Sang have a fucking Sinking Deluge
watch it happen
I wouldn't mind Oops All Index, but I would like some more finger representation tbh
That was because of Heishouslop though
I don’t just want index IDs yeah
we're never getting Sinking Deluge again I think
I would mind oops all index where's my pinky IDs
Ugh. Heislop
Where's Middle Rodion
inb4 rien sang is like, HyperPoise (deals 200% dmg per poise)
Rien will be poise, sinking, tremor
God Rodya would b miserable in the thumb
This is why we should get valencina Rodya
Rien Sang is going to have a defense skill that can change prescript targets
Another horrible work environment for rodya
someone gonna be like, "but its hot asf so its fine"
T corp rodya is still so depressing because like
She can't even enjoy food
being Rodya is suffering
(because it's mostly self inflicted)
You could say it's her
Crime and Punishment
I think she'd do okay honestly
Rodion can stay polite when she needs to
she would chafe a bit against the hierarchy, but not nearly as much as some of the other Sinners
Honestly I think she’d be feel the worst about how everything requires permission from the hierarchy in the thumb
One of her big things is how she’s never felt like anything she owns is hers since the murder
And with the thumb, that’s extremely close to the truth
my personal thought is she'd do the worst in the Index
unless she can convince herself that she's chosen by the Precripts somehow
I think so too
Faith in something besides herself is a big issue with her
Especially going back to crime and punishment and Rodion’s perspective on faith
Her and Meursault getting Pursuance is still really funny to me
Rodion I feel like can navigate that sort of thing pretty well still
as long as she feels like what she does matters
Two people guilty of singularly important murders
Meur waw that is just him shooting someone five times, and gaining an ammo passive
+two people who's literary inspirations have... troubled relationships with faith, to put it lightly
Pursuance and the abno it's from seem very interested in Judgment and Retribution as its theming, in addition to the obvious
Honestly, very similar to the way My Form Empties/Ya Sunyata is about punishment and cycles of revenge in addition to its Buddhist symbology
The religious abnos are rather cool
I think MFE is one of my favourite abno fights
Which Finger would Heathcliff be in
Wait
Middle
I'm stupid
I like the Middle theme we got in the spider house
Hip-hop type vibes instead of EDM
Yeah that theme is pretty good
I think I like Ricardo's a bit more, but that might be nostalgia talking
The Ring Nursefather's theme is probably one of my fav pieces of non-boss music this canto
It's just really unsettling to me because of how calm it is, a dissonant serenity which perfectly fits the ring and their uh, "artistic process"
yeeeah,like
it.makea younfeel likenur walking in a fine aer gala and then, suddebly
younhear a bloodcurdling scream
but no one reacts to it
but theynare watching you react to it. Closely and attentively
Ricardo has the full toujou to work with
In comparison
So it will be a test to see whay Matthias's whole theme sounds like
Truthnova
I just know part 3 is going to have some fire boss themes, even w/o the mili song
Kira becoming a member of the Blade Lineage with BHK as her teacher
would be so fire
They each run a section of the rebuilt LCE and get a meltdown
Same vibe as QoH don using Arcana Slave on some random hooligans in her PV
Like WHAT did they do to deserve that much overkill
Truthnuke
Charlie this is just you and Carmen 😭
The sinners whenever Dante doesn't pay attention to their clash (they just used an EGO to end someone on single digits)
And me
Carmen looks really good there
GAHHHHHHHH
there's no WAY theyre going to just let a vespa and moses sprite just be used for a couple a scenes right
we're GONNA have a 20 unit brawl this raid please
PLEASE
7 sinners + backup + LCD + LCA + LCE
I believe in gameplay Moses appearance
PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE
Moses uses Pale breath, shortening her lifespan
Ezra sobs harder the longer the fight goes on
Boy howdy, travelling by train in the late evening through the countryside (i.e. no external lights) hits a bit different after becoming a PMoon fan
Oh I have been so afraid…
Especially when the train keeps stopping
The brainrot sure tightened its hold on you huh
So, white night is a representation of lob corp and wings in general, right?
tbf I started playing LobCorp before even Ruina came out
😭
I recall something about it echoing...Carmen was it? As like a false savior thing? But my memory's fuzzy on it
im never going to be able to go on a train again
The things that we sacrifice for love
L O V E L O V E
L O V E L O V E
La, la!
Though I enjoyed it all
I had my doubts
your a nice girl
Im just not ready yet
but then mommy said, it aint family bizz, get over it.
Toughen up!
Just like the man we expected-
So when are you gonna take the chance?
Let us be one~
We are one~ (la la)
All for one~! (la la!)
One for everyone!!
bruh i have to write an essay on little red riding hood
the most lobcorp abno-ass essay is coming tody
Ok wow the original original is fucking miserable
The Brothers Grimm made a good ending lmao
Most fairy tales are Like That

Original post:
…
Tis was sent here before iirc but worth sharing again
yeah okay so
fairy + bleedmaxxing cheese
genuinely just instantly killed Judgement Bird
like
it was trivial
fairy is broken
anyways whats interesting is how red riding mercenary would most likely be a naïve version of red riding hood who trusted the second wold
based on brothers grimm
gimmicks aren't real
The best girl wins again
either that, or the OG OG were she drank her own grandmother's blood
Metal
KJH could only let you have Binah for a limited amount of time because she’s too peak
because the wolf fed it to her
the true og little red riding hod is absolutely gruesome
Hod
lmao
Hod sent to binah's house
And ending up between binah and gebura in a wolf costume
super relevant book for this
totally need to read 20 historical texts to understand pmoon's ingenuity
i think it'd have been really on-point to fight little red riding mercenary for this canto
Why does she have a coat hanger
violence
then again, it might go over pmoon's line
Honestly, thought it was for "aborting" identities
But it seems like it was used a bludgeon
Nah it’s for beating Dante
nah it's more like
You can swing them plastic coat hangers REAL fast
yeah i was thinking of la chancla but i couldnt remember the word lmao
Hangers deal Sinking not Fairy 😭
me after I instantly fucking die because I had 1 feeble and thus lost the Road Home clash
meaning I now have to do woodsman again
basically
I'm going to take a break
Carmen's hanger does Slash damage and Sinking
Good news: I quit that other gacha I was playing
Bad news: a habit it encouraged is still around and caused me to burn ~140 pulls to feel something just now
At least I have Fau's Thora 🙃
oh dear
In penance I shall return to the mirror dungeons
I quit star rail like last week so
Morimens was fun and I'll probably return to it since it isn't all too bad, I just chafed against the time gated stuff
nodsnods
The coat hanger and the la chancla
The SEA mom arsenal
Quit a while ago. I like elation
Shame it is explored after I left
Elation was like the reason I quit lolll
Mm nodsnods
I'm lowkey still hooked on ZZZ
and planning on getting back into WuWa
parry/dodge mechanic was all it fucking took ngl
Emulate dmc3
Unsighted and Dead Cells have the soulslike area of my brain on lock
I find it hilarious Fatal Frame is an horror game where you can parry using a camera as a gun
oh my BP is at level 90
I don't really want to
and like
I have DMC5
just
in my library
but like
I don't wannaaaaaa
ill get yi sang's ego immediately yay
you should REALLY play Devil May Cry 3 first
I also have dmc5 in my library lollll
it's a non-reversible path
what if I don't really feel like playing either
will playing 5 make 3 feel clunky?
yes
Once you go 5, you never go back
also it really helps to like
oh also flashy visual design ig
actually know the emotional core of Dante and Vergil's relationship going into DMC 5
hrm
bright colors work better than the actual gambling to make my brain feel like it's hooked up to a vegas slot machine
oh and also satisfying sfx
you don't really have context for their dialogue and why they act like they do if you haven't played DMC 3 and it kinda undermines a lot of the emotional weight of like
the stuff that happens lmao
noted
DMC 4 is also pretty relevant for Nero's stuff too tbh
hmhm ok
is ignoring 1 and 2 ok lol
yeah
DMC 1 is kinda just sludgy establishment of Dante as a character which gets thrown out and replaced by DMC 3's redux anyways, the only plotpoint that really stays around is Nelo Angelo as a concept
I love dante saying he'll have his son stop the villain of 1 if he ever comes back
And stays single and childless forever
and the games after DMC 2 have been trying to ignore it ever happened
surely it can't be that bad
hahaha
the plot recap in DMC 5 that kinda goes over the previous games and establishes what's canon for real for real outright skips DMC 2
"Here's your crown" is a good line at least
From dmc 2
Edgy coin flipping Dante? gone, forever
Diesel outfit? too expensive
Dante can't even pay his bills
You thought lady would end up with dante, but it was lady x trish!
and they stole his house
they took his coins....
...yuri?
not really
Twas a joke
hello chat, back from the mirror dungeons
Lady and Dante is probably a thing eventually but Lady and Dante are also emotionally stunted morons who cannot into a relationship
Orphans fighting demons from a young age
Anyways the entire upshot of DMC2 that’s still like canon and recognized
Is that Dante was so screwed up by killing his only remaining family in DMC 1 that he went through a really bad depressive phase
And being Dante he coped with it by being embarrassing and edgy
I like Dante not knowing what sex is
He had dirty magazines
Dante does know what sex is but exclusively in the context of making stupid double-entendres
He knows what naked women are but he doesnt know what sex is.
Like when he gets Nevan
And Lucifer
There’s probably some of that in DMC5 too that I can’t remember
He's probably too sad to get it up
Exactly
Dante is in the Trifecta of video game men i refuse to believe know what sex is
Its him, Kiryu Kazuma, and Snake.
where does Chris fit on this scale
The girl from dmc2 said he was charming but too self loathing to actually commit
Chris Redfield is technically disqualified by the fact that he knows what sex is but just doesn't have a concept of doing that himself
Which is a mood honestly
i am not fighting shock centipede for threadlux
I think Chris is hilariously sterile from exposure to 500 thousand types of bio weapons
Shooting straight dust
He fell into a volcano
Or exposure to 500 types of bioweapon will ensure that his progeny inherits some kind of mcguffing virus superpowers
Also nasty fights with wesker
yeah and knowing enough mcguffin virus superpower havers
he probably doesn't want that for his kids
hence, it's gotta be clair
This is why my crossover agenda is that chris redfield is an equal fight against Homelander
Leon twirls, which turns out to protect his genitals from bioweapons and damage
Does this list include villains
The redfields have faced blond bioengineered egomaniacs before
Wesker would fold Homelander like a chair because one of them is cool and the other is lame
all I know about Wesker is that there's a girl in one of my servers who borders on uncomfortably horny for him
yeah that's wesker
wesker would fold homelander because i am entirely uninterested in the concept of The Boys
he's a forceful domineering egomaniac who has a sculpted-as-fuck body and is very dismissive in a way that gets a certain type to go "holy fuck I need him"
My list is those 3 men specifically
No more no less
okay yeah things are making a lot more sense now
Funny
I once felt attraction for wesker
But it involved thinking of him on a leash
you want to put HIM in a zoo? crazy talk
7 minutes. I have seven minutes to play with you [wesker at the petting zoo as one of the bioweapon exhibits]
I want to play DMC but fuck combo inputs with keyboard
look all I'm saying is I'd be a hypocrite the moment they put f!wesker in front of me if I acted like it's weird to like that kind of thing
yeah fair enough
I'd be the exact same if Wesker was a woman
no yeah if f!wesker was like a canon thing you wouldnt see me for like a month until ive finished playing whatever remake spawned that
Female wesker is a thing now innit
literally how
Yeah
WHERE
Hold on
HA
lmao I summoned a demon
we're going to the mines for a month Ice
as a different video game antagonist would say
predictable
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/9/9f/RE_Resistance_Alex_Wesker.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200213075002 he’s got a sister as it turns out
Alex Wesker
ehh does she act like That though
As in being an evil egomaniac who says cryptic things while injecting suspicious chemicals into her body?
In that case yes
you know what the fuck I mean charlie
But also not quite like wesker unfortunately
oh she has like
I am a creature of habit
okay this is not like
She lost almost all of her aura by trying to bully a child
welp
Wesker (the Wesker) but like
sighhhhhh
there's still Lady Dimitrescu
a different person
This is two or three of my other lesbian friends
She tries to do this weird soma like thing
Where she copies her mind into an ideal candidate body
But then gets buyer regret literally at the last moment
No controller?
And tries to kill the kid she copied her mind into
strange
i was hoping alex wesker was more like.. a shadowy late introduction who really dgaf and tingles my neurons the way a wesker personality might but her opening line is followed by "who the fuck is quoting poetry" sooo uhh
She was trying to do the continuity thing
Theories that Alex Wesker is trans
Where she obliterates her original self so that the body she copied her mind into gets to continue to be original
But evidently she changed her mind at the last moment
Which some would say ruins the point of the whole delusion
She got scared, which activated a virus in her that saves her
Yeah
yeah the wesker i would hypothetically thirst after doesnt really do that
The, I shit you not, T-phobos virus
yeah...
look we ain't gotta reinvent a classic here
Anyways she subsequently proceeds to lose all of her aura by trying to bully a small child
Who is also herself but whatever
Also the final battle is much more cheery and lax with hee
Morimasa Sato the genius you are
It's barry running around acting like a dad and mocking her
While reconnecting with his daughter
"oh yeah and by the way she has huge fucking claws" like ooooh yeah thats right
We should be punchingboulders every game instead
the thing is for me like
every niche Dimetrescu fills
I already have filled elsewhere
She chases barry like an idiot
Hilarious btw that the news of Chris’ boulder punching ways has spread from wales to Cathay
that is true for me too but i can appreciate a good mainstream hit
The goal is to trick her into position so moira and claire can shoot a rocket
...90% of this is Arlecchino from Genshin Impact I can't even lie
Chris is just that infamous as the boulder punching bsaa freak
tbf if you're getting into bioweaponry and self-modification you probably want to brush up on the BSAA and their top agents
just in case
like yeah go ahead and try and brood we all know youre the boulder punching guy
She gets defanged, doesn't she?
I think to an extent but I also don't actually play the game so I can conjure any version of her up in my head
Self-modification
takes hrt once and gets a letter from chris redfield himself
cease and desist
lest i punch your drywall in much like a boulder that one time..
and also tbh the fact she's a lot kinder of a person than is initially let on is part of what makes me like her more on top of her slightly activating my amygdala
Back to PJM
okay yeah I'm gonna do an MD and then lock in on some work I need done
Did you guys know Moses is one of the only PJM characters we have seen the ass of
As I hear from complaints. She gets portrayed as someone good, and her business as someone raising orphans as spies as not bad. Clashing with how other characters described her as a lunatic and how she was basically a foreign agent from a force trying to achieve its goals in spite of the moral costs
Also comically, she sends cake as apology for the head of state she attacked in the middle of the night and conspired against. Multiple cakes, she has been sending periodically
Oops
What?
okay so I actually have more context for this
Most pjm characters are always drawn from the front or wearing long coats
So because of Moses giant thigh gap shes one of the few characters we know actually owns a butt
in that the reason she attacked said head of state was due to a whole bunch of prophecy shit and not trusting said head of state to be able to actually carry out the task before her, and iirc did not know that she was not actually the archon but rather a stand-in? or something? I forget exactly but basically she tried to kill her because she was fully convinced there was no other way for her to ensure the safety of her children
moses but
Oh my
and like, of course the other characters think that, she's like. not exactly a sweet and friendly person, and is also part of an organization not exactly trusted by like
anyone
iirc she's mostly there in support of the idea of basically killing God but i might be wrong on that front
tbh the Harbingers are fascinating to me because they seem so divorced from the rest of the fatui as an organization, on top of also all being at each other's throats
they're only working together because of a single common goal and in some cases loyalty to someone
Yurodivy reference
holy shit I'm a yapper
https://www.rxddit.com/r/LobotomyCorp/comments/pinfqj/paradise_lost_and_twilight/
Twilight is a rather chaotic looking ego, but it looks great
Twilight is awesome
Funny that the edgy black outfit is from teh abno that represents the government/status quo
Between her and the raiden shogun whose the hotter mom/worse mother
Raiden is infinitely worse as a mom I'm ngl
like
oh?
Arlecchino has been shown to be strict, but also is actually like. she acts as a parent aiui
Arlecchino is a female father
Also lets move to gacha hell
just a post with a version of Tali being in the canto
goddammit
the pain is because like
why'd they have to put it in
we're never getting it
becaue legal bullshit
uggghhhh
No party everlasting
Party everlasting
Looks inside
It's over
The saga of punishing bird and tiphereth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A2dMHyM8UY
What does that rpg have to do with ProjectMoon?
Hard to tell
We dont know if theres lower ranked arbiters
I think at that point its a fruitless comparison
The claws (and punishing bird) seem to be the violence specialist branch
But arbiters do seem powerful by themselves, besides their judgimg job
Claws probably have some stuff that makes them better suited for carrying out the violence
my guess is that a large portion of that might just be numbers + scalability
Arbiters and Claws both have access to a ton of specific singularities
so whether one is "stronger" than the other is kinda moot
I figure it's easier to spam guys with the serums than it would be to have a buncha people so linked to a singularity
it doesn't matter
they're a package deal
mhmm
I don't mean stronger
and if they're after you, you're genuinely just completely boned
I mean like, suited to varry out violence
Depends on what you mean by "Suited to carry out violence"
like
they are, essentially, secret police
Binah can just open someone up with her mind
but also the Claws will turn you into paste too
Arbiters are judge, jury, amd executioner
vs Claws being mainly an extension of the Head's ability yo enforce it's laws
Are they faster? More stamina? Is it just they have this job but arbiters can do violence plus judgement?
That's what I meant
then yez xan't help.ya
we know jack and all about the specifics
from what little we've seen
Arbiters probably have range
||Claws can genuinely just teleport||
both are insane in terms of durability and prowess
etc.
Okay then
like I don't really think there's a satisfying answer here
until we know more
if we ever know more
Was just curious about the Head
Just judging is a bit lame compared to other wing agents, so the suite of combat powers makes sense
I think they're pretty much just like
vaguely specializing in different ways?
like
both are going to kill you
but also I feel that the Claw seem more like... idk, shock troopers? SWAT? idk what the term is
whereas the arbiters have actual fucking sorcery to do stuff with
Claws have the Serums as well
In the canto 8 massacre, think yellow cages were being created
Whereas I think Arbiter stuff is more specific (Zena uses lines, Binah uses fairies)
Ye
Arbitera don't really have a one size fits all moveset
Claws meanwhile, go in and fuck your shit up 7 ways to sunday
Though they also have a variety of serums from each wing tech
and also, probably don't have a standard move set
ye
like i think the general.way to look at it is that Claws are, firat and foremost, a brute force option
while Arbiters are a scalpel
Fighting the head is such a nightmare
indeex
Claw - hammer
we haven't even touched on the Beholders
So, most suited to violence, yes. Claws are more direct abd destructive, while arbiters are precise and can do a variety of things with their powers
they were fucking saving the trail-slashes for this canto specifically
I mean yeah they gave an enemy a status effect called Bladetrail that is every cool samurai/swordsman visual and mechanic wrapped up together
LoR art book helpfully tells us the Index flower is based on aconite
Can't wait for part 3 of canto 9 to show up ||just how powerful the index nursefather is at manipulate, mansplain and malewife||
Reminds me of the blue heart abno with all the legs around it, name escapes me
Blue Star
canto 9 spoiler
Christ-
I think the funny thing iz
that isn't even that crazy among the hard core grinders
would not be surprised if some peeps don'5 already have 300-500
That doesn't seem healthy
It’s just a normal amount of heavy grinding lol
One guy got bp1000 or something on day one
I haven't even done my MD for the week yet lmao
I’m level 90, I forget how many levels weekly gets you
69 boxes
1 level from dailies, 2 from weekly pass missions
27.5 from weekly MD bonus
Did they post something?
Gyaru ishmael, huh
gyarumael...
i'm.sure people.will be very normal about this
mael
Does this imply double banner of apprentices
hmmm
pinky...
let's see, hong lu is a solid pick for it
themes of self-repression, tranqility, etc
but sinclair might fit in that way, though i suspect he'll be getting a more... fanciful ID
we know Sang is getting Rien, or has Rien as a possibility
Maybe Lucio Gregor
Hmmm, who would fit for Albina
Is this for next week then
Albina is hard imo
Faust maybe?
I’d say Faust yeah
So far we have Don, Ish, Faust, Yi Sang, Ryoshu, Outis with confirmed IDs
And Yi Sang confirmed
Yi Sang in Don's uptie, Ryoshu has bad end
Outis is probably getting the ring apprentice
Or Rodya
Sinclair Lucio
I feel that in my bones
Maybe Hong Lu ring nursefather
and Ren is either Hong or Sinclair imo
Or Dihui Star hong Lu, but I feel ring fits him more as his IDs tend to have a sadistic streak
i'm betting on a Sancho/Hong Lu type ID
where it's more a catalyst of what they could have become
might have some similarities, but isn't exactly X character
Kiramael...?
moemael
i love how ishmael gets all the cute moe ids
she has some weird needs
like
mmmm
yes
ni hao wo shi ni de isrish american sailor redneck daughter, mama!
Yeah she needs Queequeg’s arm across her chest when she wakes up
ISHMAEL GETS THE KIRA ID???? ISHMAEL??????
She's my weird needs*
Both are obsessed
Heath
Personally want Ricardo as Heath cause it'd be funny
Greg is too passive
If it’s Heath I just hope he doesn’t follow his literary counterpart’s definition of “fatherhood” 
Mattias' whole thing is chasing after a past he cannot let go of
glances at Rien sang
i think the relationships between the apprentice and NF ids are def going to be fucked
In the index don uptie you can def get the feeling
that Yi Sang is doing to that don what Gubo did to him
cuttig them off from all.other support outlets but him
I wonder what the story’s gonna be. Is it gonna be as much of a “reach” as Xichunmael’s mirror world? Considering Ish has a strong hatred against the Middle for what they did to Queequeg
So like maybe she never went to the Lake in this one
I don’t have Index Don yet but that one is also a glitchy one, no?
DID YOU SEE THE NEW KIR-
ah
yes, you did
aww....
I was hoping I'd bring the news...
whooo would you have it rather be?
She plays tabletop
her entire motivation used to be revenge
uhhhhh
....uh
actually, that appears to be all
Honestly I had expected Don was gonna get the Kira ID before InDon came out
So I was at a loss for who would get Kira
But Ishmael was the last one I expected lol
sora don is interesting
like
it's a very clever way to twist the story
"what if you made the impossible dream, follow the dream of the city?"
mye iimaginenthat
most of the apprentice versions of sinners
are going to be pretty sad
Cause index Don is very mucg
not our don
Kira just seemed like the more obvious pick I suppose, especially in hindsight given that we now know her obsessions largely stem from her isolation and neglect - much like Don’s fixer obsession was nurtured through centuries of being locked in the Lighthouse with nothing but fixer mags and Bari’s letters for company
But I mean I can appreciate a good curveball
See i disagree because Don's obsession with fixers is over all a positive
It’s a positive now
It was very much a liability before Verg beat her ass
she just went overboard
yeah, but that has nothing to do with the core beliefs she has
only her implementation of them
That feels like Don not knowing people and society have limits since she was disconnected for so long
it was not a substitution of comanionship for ger
where as it clearly seems to be for Kira
fair
who has people she wants to talk to but can't connect with
Meanwhile Ishmael has a bit of a history
of having the outward influences of others overtaking her own
or otherwise taking on a persona she doesn't quite fully believe in to try and fit in
ishmael also has the whole blind obsession thing
she's also pretty blunt (heh)
ishy really just has a great personality for the middle
she's also kinda... lonely?
Speaking of curveballs, time for something completely unrelated that I thought of yesterday
oh?
How well would Victor Frankenstein work as a sinner?
hmmm
Guy frankie or City specialty evil woman frankie
fairly well
Important question
faust:
We all in on homunculus theory, huh?
I was thinking guy at first but you’ve intrigued me with the alternative 
I am also.wonderinf
What would be a good way to City-ify the sin of creating the monster, I wonder…
if the Faust who travels with us
I mean, y can just have it be similar
even make it so he crossed a Taboo
and only survived on a technicality
Or it’s a District Taboo, not a Head one.
and the good grace andnhumor of the Arbiter that day
I suppose Heishou shenanigans are already very close to the themes of transgression and playing god.
you know
what do I know
have we met Artistole, Socrates, or Plato?
Not that I can recall
we should meet their equivilents eventually
Think they’ll show up when we get to Outis?
big parts of divine comedy
Or in a related Intervallo
and pmoon loves philosophy
Purgatory
...because you're still working on an abnormality so only pain and chaos awaits you
this was meant to be a music played in a discord server, a lot of my friends enjoyed the "caramelldansen from another room" so i made first warning from another room

pixi...
we havent seen the sword no
no we do
it's like right there
she must be one of those two problematic Abnormalities he mentioned
I do love that Ishmael of all people know the standard Strat for killing a boss in an rpg
Oh neat Ishmael kira
No
You should leave her to me 
I feel like people still don’t really get what sloth means in PM
It’s not laziness as it’s normally depicted
It’s acceptance
Surrendering yourself to the inertia of life and the great flow
Moreso apathy than laziness
It can take the form of laziness, but it can be many things
Yah
It’s why like, the sinners associated with it are Yi Sang, Meursault and Gregor
3 people who have all come to a solemn acceptance with their lot in life, so just allow whatever organization they work for to drive their life
Well I say work for
Yi Sang was kidnapped and forced to do slave labor
Thumb ids (and their subsidiaries) also commonly have sloth for that reason, yeah
But he was very accepting of doing that slave labor!
Yah, being a member of the thumb means accepting the thumb’s will for every aspect of your life
Iirc every Kurokumo ID has a sloth skill, so does Night Awls Gregor
It's lust, not sloth, my bad
Actually only Kurokumo Gregor and Hong Lu have sloth skills
The rest have a combination of lust, pride and something else
"i love getting drunkkk on sake!"
"uwaaaa i love being a criminal"
I messed up the sin colours again, I don't know why this keeps happening lmao
Gregor would be a 000 ID if he just was sober
I’m still annoyed he’s a captain ID and he’s 00 like what the hell
doing my boy dirty
Rodion is an underling why is she a 000 when captain gregor is a 00
I do wish there were a few more 00 ids
Like I get why they stopped making them
But I do feel a lot of ids that are 000 would fit better in 00
Chat, when new part
15th
Thank you
37 hours later
I can't wait to see what's been cooking tbh
Inb4 it's our first 4 part canto
Okay
Ishmael getting the dumbass who can’t read passives and just walks into boss mechanics as an ID is hilarious
It’s completely fitting (Ishmael is a stubborn ass who would do that) and also completely unfitting (Ishmael does her research because she is the class rep) at the same time
Kira thought she knew how the enemy worked
And didn't adapt on the fly
Ishmael is rigid and prepares before battle
see you're right but also you have to admit Kira would not read a pamphlet about an Abnormality's strengths and weaknesses because that shit is boring
Part 4
Kira
I'm not sure
She is distractible but probably reads game guides
Specially because then she can impress her dad
Congrats
it means they trained you in a school to do computer things with your brain is what
Abnormality guides formatted for people with adhd
ohhh
ain't no way they got the brainrot guide ready for ADHD-ass lobcorp employees
Just woke up, Kira Ish W
yeah she would smoke bueed
Resonance burn? Liu gonna be chomping at the bit for her
T o m m o r o w
Chatroom, is Tanya based off a specific type of dog?
the Egyptian wolf, formerly known as the Egyptian jackal
Oh, wait are they no longer called Jackals?
yes
I never knew
jackals are still a type of animal to be clear
I thought they were still jackals
Ohhhhh
but they don't have them in Egypt
anyways, the Egyptian wolf inspired Anubis which inspired Tanya
Cool
We stay together
Family's forever
Inside the train we walk down the isle
furthermore~
Our love opened [the door] to a vehicle I'd rather not enter
I fucking NEED more ammo IDs
There generally seems to be an LCB in most mirror worlds
I wonder who their Dante is
Chat, it’s really funny to me that so far all of the EGOs we’ve gotten for this canto are envy based
When Ryoshu has a grand total of 2 IDs with an envy skill
Hong Lu has some gluttony at least
And obviously the rupture support was appreciated
With 1 gajillion Heishous and friends
GREEDY GREEDY ISHMAEL
Ishy my beloved
her greed is destroying the economy
And?
10 more redhead 000s for the soup stock
ryoshu's capstone id is 100% going to be poise right?
It seems likely
shes probably gonna do shit with house of spiders units id bet?

you think the singing here is a mili song in disguise?
maybe? it sounds like her cassie wei's voice
Just realized something
lose fight instantly due to road home
Current Duihui has a carriage icon in their skills
like probably my fault but also fuuuuuuck
so how does blockma work
Hm.
Devastating Mili lullaby incoming
Wait where in the icons
I don't see a skill icon that looks like a carriage?
where the fuck did you get such a high-res icon for Afterimage Entanglement
datamined asset
hmm
well, Onefold Afterimage Entanglement sure looks like that ig
it also gives the user Burn application
yeah
I was wondering about Entanglement
