I HAVE RETURNED AND I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF PROJECT MOON /lh
DISTORT NOW
THE PROMISE STILL CAN BE FULFILLED
whaaahhha,,aa.a.aa.a?
This truly was our limbus company...
"Do you remember who you just fought?"
Also, woe, 3 dungeons upon you /j
what happened to...
He’s all tuckered out
haaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...............
But also remember
Yea
Dante can only turn the clock back on physical wounds
^
Emotional shock can only be healed with time
Any would be welcome tbh
Evolved LCB IDs in Purgatorio, we can do it
Uptie 5 just for LCB ids trust
Imagine if idk, Netzach's durante ability was "mass heal SP"
it's highly plausible
Netzach would probably be mass heal and protection
Oh right he's Safety head
nah
Both HP & SP?
a whole case*
3 turns of heal
The Fearlessness to Keep on Living
Like the abno page in his floor
Both I think
begone from this place Faust
I was moreso reminded of the existence of the regenerators lmao
Stupid Faust*
hey
I should remember to use my Durante if I try 9-51 again
you're the one who said no spoilers
||guy is gonna wake up and have a panic attack over the bugmind returning to his arm after this long||
I'm describing the source :p
||Returned with a vengeance. It almost damn overtook him, and that wasn't the final layer???||
There was way earlier a convo about the floors and the reverb ensemble
Tiphereth is meaning of life. Her counterpart is the clown who crashed out over expectations people have for each other.
So, like a coward, he discarded any attempt to meet people's expectation or any standard, and lives as a nihilistic hedonist clown
Tiphereth is Beauty, the union of Strength and Kindness into life having structure and wonder
and that fuckass clown bastard Oswald is Ugliness, the idea that there is no purpose, there is no reason for things or beauty to them, you can do whatever you want and nothing matters
Every reverb member is washed
definitionally
I did really like the ensemble being the exact opposite of their respective Librarians
I wish, Oswald smells like hell! /j
I would say my goat washed, but that would imply a) he's my goat, and b) that he showers
Don’t you dare talk down on my GOATs, Philip and Tanya
Phillip's story makes me sad
Philip ain't washed he'd turn to stone if he was /j
Still smells like sulfur
Philip, by the way, is the most interesting Qlipha
Hey guys how we coping with canto 9?
Wait he's wax not magma
Not well
Yah I’m magma
Badly.
He's explicitly the most real, grounded one because Malkuth doesn't need a Qlipha as it's physical existence
so instead
On the scale of Hell's Kitchen to Hong Lu's EGO I'm corroding his
the Qlipha corresponding to Malkuth is Lilith, all the badness of life
that's what Philip represents
not high minded ideals
Life going badly.
Okay a solid " In Hell we Live, Lament"/10
he's Shit Sucks incarnate
He drowned in the shit of life
Some of us may be hearing a certain Voice soon, but we move
Lamenting did happen
A pot of it, that Ugliness (oswald) stirred
Listen. Imagine the fanfic you can write soon. Legendary comfort.
That’s so true
I think my favourite of the ensemble is Tanya and how her perception of strength clashes with Gebs
In this house ||Araya stabilized and was reverted to the age she was at when she first entered the safe and Ryoshu was able to raise her her entire life before seeing her off as her own realized adult||
The conversation Hokma and Pluto have is cool as well
Oswald literally said "life has no purpose, do what you want" and Philip went "okay but life is shit so far"
and drowned in that
so
Gebura is literally strength, severity, the conviction to decide
and her opposite isn't weakness
it's Cruelty.
Tanya embodies using strength to torment and bully
In this house the ||apprentices escape and end up under bamboo hatted kim's tutelage||
I'm not coping
THERE IS ALWAYS A COPE
Ts shit sounds like something Carmen would say
I mean, she’s right
Why walk the path of suffering?
The world is a cruel place, but it doesn’t have to be
If your eyes perceive cruelty, then imagine something else
If your ears hear suffering, put your hands over them
If your nose smells rot, plug it up
A better world is possible
Just stop perceiving a worse one
One could say you put your hands over your ears... and then it is heard no more
if your nose smells rot, burn it
a better world is possible
tear down the worse one
become more Hong Lord pilled.
Me looking at my hongler after he starts saying stuff like
"You assert that education of humanity and propriety is what cleanses the years of fell deeds? The first step seems to have eluded you: absolutely pulverize the fell deeds. Only then shall humanity and propriety have any significance."
yeah he's a good hongler
I love the interactions he has with the other candidates in general
I love Lord Hong
Pal really went "hey ow stop that- BONGK ...okay okay maybe kindness is needed too"
He really is "I say the whole world shall learn of our peaceful ways... by force"
carmen isn't on the stop perceiving badness train
I find it fascinating the seasonal waw seems more positive than previous ones
Being about the world and entangled lives
she's on the "your reaction to it is valid, just let it out"
"crash the fuck out"
that's why some distortions are nearly mindless and others are just the same dude except gross
I wanna see the bad end id, but also dread it
"Fail to solve the problem. make it everyone else's problem. Add simplex noise to everyone's misery"
Burn will eat good
Considering that the wielders manipulate it as a means to an end...I feel like that's still an abnormality alright
Yeah but Philip’s reaction to badness was exactly this
And he Distorted
yeah, because that's his specific inner wish
I guess people just crash out differently
Yeah
I Wish I Didn't Have to Perceive This
So uh
"On skill use gain negative coins lose sp"
What are we thinking the fruit is y’all
well first off you can't call them that, second off outis.
a watermelon
i mean metaphorically it's the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil basically certainly
original sin
Apple heart
Greg's arm eats it on instinct
knowledge...good and evil...
"I'll chop down that tree...with my bare hands!"
Is it? Wouldn’t it make more sense for the Fruit of the Golden Tree to be, like… God?
It’s also mine
Gonna be a neg sanity id, poise burn bleed
Surprised no sinking in her ego, and her id might lack it too
Quadruple status, trust🙏 🙏 🙏
well, that's the thing - there's the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil
and a lot of theologians have argued that they're the same thing
another common scholarly argument is that 'good and evil' is a metaphor for 'everything'
I guess I’m wondering if it really makes sense for the Golden Boughs to be a second attempt at Genesis
Hey wait a second
Knowledge of everything, you say
nah, they are gonna turn them into the Golden Bows, because it'll be prepared for war...or something
That explains Faust’s interest then
Abraxas
and my overarching theory is that this is all an attempt at recreating the origin of the city
to usurp the head
That probably explains something we otherwise didn’t know enough to even ask the question
Which is “why would Dias work with Faust to begin with”
But there’s an answer - Dias gets her City and Faust gets knowledge of all things
Genuinely expected ||lucio to distort
Maybe we'll get a thumb distorion in an intervallo||
OH AND ALSO
Man, ||that ending scene really did give us more questions then answers for Faust||
It explains why Future Sinclair has renounced knowledge as a solution
I feel like Ryo's tussle with the fingers is FAR from over
||Because our Faust, isn’t a high ranking member of the Gelleshect, she’s seen as the class idiot||
Because he’s learned that knowledge can only perpetuate the City and its conflicts
||Shes stupid and dumb||
I'm expecting them to show up mid-canto tbh
||But she’s also the one actually in reality collecting the golden boughs||
She was previously an administrator though
Yeah that's a wrinkle
Yah, ||though it really changes things depending on when she was demoted||
K6BD: He who masters the wheel cannot break it
Yes
Faust is || the 616 reed in the council of reed richards right? ||
The powerful and the so-called wise create a cognitive prison on the world
yes, and carmen's distortion is the extreme reaction to that
fuck knowledge, fuck rationality, fuck wisdom, go wild, go for broke, rampage
overturn the allowed
Embrace your true and honest desires, and all that
do what thou wilt is the whole of the law
Description goes hard ngl
crash the fuck out and do the impossible: change things
usually for the worse! but change them
Ironic that that eventually leads to abnormalities
Which perpetuate the cycle forevermore
and carmen's dream is a world where everyone has done that. this probably means that almost everyone is dead
but everyone left is satisfied
in their own personal true ideal
Like lords of dark in nobilis
i mean , distortions are stripping away everything but your desires/"truest self" which is probably quite easy to incubate into the embodied ideas that are abnos
and then EGO is committing to a true path but without going all the way into "this is the only thing that matters, total crashout"
yeah
which is why carmen doesn't like it as much but accepts it
Ego is a shell
Distortion is peeling
very well put
The path maybe looks a bit different, you see more deadly wounds from under and drownings but violence is still condoned
i hope we see more examples of Volatile EGO tbh
the reason she likes it less is because egoists are still Normal People under there
and can falter and lose their way
distortions are beyond that
Break
Like carmen did
distortions can only be reversed by external influence
Speaking of Abnormalities, I guess EGO gear really is just part of them reconstituted from their unique enkephalin
The entire Faelantern escaped through its gear being handled inappropriately after all, and if that doesn't imply a link greater than we thought existed, I don't know what does
If I had to pick a lobcorp ego to wear
Lingering fragrance, the cherry blossom one seem like cool options
Laetitia too. Hm what else
i do find it interesting that carmen is basically the anti-therapist in presentation
Like the questions she asks are very similar to the ones you'd see in counselling, just warped to nudge people towards distortion (e.g encouraging Heath to embrace his deep self hatred)
hai
Would you all choose what egos?
Out of all of them, and out of Twilight and Paradise Lost
Yes. Not even you.
Assuming we had the choice and not our manager's I'd go for:
- Wingbeat
- Beak
- Magic Bullet
- Lantern
- Justitia
- Twilight
In order of level
still need to fight this jerk myself too
possible it's getting filtered by the automod for some reason
I honestly really like the look of Solemn Lament
It's a cat freaking out about a wet bathtub, franctically scrambling to find a hold with the caption:
"kjajfhösafasf.-safsd.f,sfasfh.cvxsdf-.cmvxykj-."
SL is very good
||Hermes¢||, huh...
Oh, you like the birds huh
Ho-I mean nods

||the Prescript commanded him to cosplay Roland, for some reason ||
The flavor text on his passives and statuses are also reall good
What... but... but why...
I'm betting that ||someone of his caliber would be useful to have among a god's soldiers||
the prescript knows best 👍
NOOOO
yeah
CURSE UPON YE
the worst thing is that I stumbled across an actual brainrot cover of patches of violet and sometimes that plays in my head
What the fuck kind of childrens story is...
Self-reporting myself here for the funny
I have an idea of what you mean and it's coming back up
Ryo lemme borrow arayashiki real quick I need to perform a lobotomy on myself
Holy shit
The classics
The kind that the brothers grim took inspiration from
yeah i wonder why rien
Buddy
I think something slipped fomr... from underneath
Wait I'm thinking of "original folk tales"
i feel incredibly sorry for him but also hate his ass viscerally at the same time
good luck
heishou, potential woman and this random thumb capo they found
Ayeup.
I'll probably also try using Heishou again
though they do have a certain disadvantage against his mechanics
You'll be glad to know btw that pal is slash weak
kind of
Wait really?
||The Heishou are almost all Slash, so you'll need to use EGO to clash the type specific skills ||
Ah
Now that you mention it, is every Sinking inflictor spreading their suffering?
kind of
Like is anyone among those who inflict Sinking genuinely well?
Ah... you....
Both hong lu and ryoshu were barely hanging from a pit of nihilism
don't worry about it :)
You'll see after all this is done
don't worry about it 🙂
Skim past this wall
No, I want to read this
You literally can't do jack about all those but alright 🫡
Tbh that + the replica skills are the only standouts
Of course you have Shin.
Sora had to have learned somewhere, no?
Hang on hang on
That's... hah
I wanna make this is a lancer weapon now
Horroble idea
Agreed
the Horus staff is barely function as is
:D
||Rien is supposed to replicate Roland. Rien has Shin. Rien has a skill called "stab the silence's heart...". Was that why he was cultivated?||
comically large spoon weapon soon
What do you mean "one."
its over
If I hear him go
"one, two, buckle my shoe"
the brainrot spreads
What does
what
Is that your prescript?
"Boohoo I am not even a per-"
"HEED ME, HEISHOU"
This sounds awfully familiar
||my fan theory: Rien was actually trying to be a father to Ryoshu but in the end was too restricted by his dogmatic following of the prescripts andthe ruined outlook he has of the world to ever be what he may have actually wanted to be||
:)
||Furioso|| me?
This sounds about right yeah
to make it die quicker
IIRC if you clash it's skills with defense it loses stacks quicker?
once it has the self charge
Like, with clashable defenses?
Dante is just baller like that
It's City Tech i don't gotta explain shit
It must be so crushing for your entire life to be nothing but a... a shitty ||cosplay||
Vanished Devils
Displaced Gnomes
to fit with his ||roland at home|| ass existance
nono, I like that one too
PRTS sees all
||Cant wait to see the second stage of this fight where he distorts into "the white noise" and goes "boo hoo im killing my daughter"||
Appearing Demons
Doom OST name
My players dont know this but all my lancer enemies are determined by the prescripts I have zero autonomy over my game
Why he so swagger though
prescript for 8 ultra veteran ronin
yep
hahaha
@mystic ermine its been a nice run but the prescripts demand the next encounter destroys the shitbucket now
Really?
that's... that's the entire... gimmick?
it is
but also ||that's 8 unbreakable hits you're eating on most of your team ||
||even if you win, it still does a lot of damage ||
||I managed to stagger him before he used the furioso replica. Had maofaust at like 12 speed and S3-2 ready to goand after using the seed of light to halt his speed she was faster. Get staggered bozo||
that can do a lot of damage, even if you win yeah
Oh, that was kinda fu- MANG?!
IT NEVER SAID THAT ANYWHERE
nevermind
I can't read
it's right there
Arknights reference, don't worry about it
everyone really be having shin and mang this canto. i'm so scared for canto 13 honestly
it's if he is at positive SP for it, yeah
we will be jumped by 10 fucking arbiters at this rate
I... I feel bad for him
We do have 2 IDs that can use shin already. Caposault and indexdon
also Rien note
||The reason they specifically show the hanzi for his phrases in his fight is because he's quoting ryoshu's old sheathe||
無我夢中 阿鼻叫喚 支離滅裂
Yeeshus shitfuck
Put that mask back on
That's... exactly what... what she said, huh
magic bullies a heavily disfigured father who cant move past his dogmatic beliefs:
Fuck, I don't speak that language
OOH YEAH I'M USING BURN NEXT TIME
What the
fuck
Buddy
that's mroe ksills
O fortune, changing like the moon, always waxing and waning
roughly
maybe I should try my Bleed team for this fight...
Ah?
appropriate for rien, to say the least
what you think he'd only do it once :)
it's from a fairly famous medieval poem iirc
When I have burn built, Immer make him suffer
Boss mechanics? Nah, 7 dark flame
"O Fortuna" from the Carmina Burana
His passives during phase 2
which is essentially an extended complaint against the goddess of fortune
I raised a family.
Prescripts have multiple sources?
He did, twice, and literally did, once
Yup. Multiple gods
This canto has really allowed more flexibility for some of my fan index ideas
Oh yeah another standout weapon
Something has gone gravely wrong
You know how these unbreakables have clauses where they don't stagger?
was reading some stuff about the canto
||Kira being overall probably the weakest of the apprentices in a straight fight shows even more how much Matthias neglects her, he didn't even properly train her to fight ||
One of the Blunt weapons raises stagger threshold. By 3. Enough to Stagger when you've passed it due to Unbreakables
Read the tooltips for each one of these
What level is Don
Ok good
Every single weapon Rolex can manifest from the caduceus has its own brief story you can read from the buff tooltip
Me, a fool: index has no creed or mythology
Nope, you just gotta get the details of the mystery cult
Buh?
These give buffs?
It’s handled as a buff
||also I only just realized that she has her superheated blades to mimic Laevateinn||
Each weapon is technically a status Rolex gives himself and then purges at the end of the attack
I had an idea for one based off the Roman Sibylline Books, but wasn't sure it fit with the prescripts as seen in LOR
this has heen great news
||her heated blade passive makes it even more explicit||
||iirc it says something like 'unlike dad's, mine have to turn off'||
Damn, gonna have to use that pause button in the future
And they all have a brief story about the weapon and Rolex’s thoughts on it
You can read them all from his Passive tho
Ah?
You're projecting, dad
hoaoahh
Just click on the tooltips for “when piercing the ribs with a hatchet…”
it's rough yeah
Index less washed
To show you that each attack is a Prescript instruction
Horse
Go my uma
for example, this attack with this buff forms the instruction "When caving in the back of the skull with a hammer, carve at a low slant, peel what remains"
which is why it's weaker if he is using a non-Slash weapon!
It is dire.
"hornet" "game" "ultra" "argus" "party" "TKP"
The prescripts will truly aligns with my own...
he-hey now, Mister DM
also
I really wonder how Ren and his master really interacted now
||was Araya still as cruel to him as the Dihui Star was, or was it different? ||
5 fingers as gangs in lancer
oh shit also
Got written up in the Book because I scratched my enemies custom paintjob 😭
I have a dream.$
9-50 narrative spoiler
||check Rien's faction tags Magic||
The huh
Silence.
WHAT THE FUCK IS EVEN THAT
Another thing to add to the conspiracy board
HELLO?
anyways
I HAVE A DREAM
we'll be fuckin seein ya in MDE, Poland
....ttyl
I remember having to bring tingtang hongler out bc he started chewing through my units
Ah...

No
NO I know
there is
one more
fucking
Node
but
I...
I will save the ending for...
for later.
Should have called this canto the Heartbreaking 2
Very Greek
Ah, I thought so, glad it's spelled out
If it's of any solace it's a story node
Congrats on beating every single canto 9 fight
I have finished the Canto, time to backread
hmmm
do I try again with Heishou, or do I level my Bleed team...
Burn + Magical Girls did fairly well for me
Hm actually
Nevermind, this team is more "woe, Walpurgisnacht upon thee" LMAO
so true
Nay
No one else was there
Rien was alone when that went down
Speaking of Udjat Outis
how is You Heathcliff in Burn btw?
Yummy potency and enough count to push his own stack into the next turn
Ain't Udjat Outis the first time an uptie story references a future section of the canto?
kind of, yeah
Hers is changed like Jiamael but Jiamael didn't reach into the future no?
also I really need to threadspin some EGO some time
I do have like 4k thread rn, I could do it
Clash?
Oh right Dairyu has a clashable guard
I had NShu apply 7 Gaze and just banked off of the 7 protection + 80 shield per turn
that's the worst part of it, that he sees and does nothing
LMAO
I shoulda tried that
Especially when ||Val kept kicking our asses with that one skill Verg didn't have slots to clash with||
it enables the abuse by normalizing it. even this person, the "good" parent, doesn't stop them, so it must be deserved
if you replied to me, it'll be a second, I'm still backreading
Missing two c's, C /j
TRUUUUUUUUE
Matthias seemingly landed himself in the House of Spiders, among other things, ||he's selfish, willing to do anything to get what he wants. This is seen in both his passive flavor text and him cutting down Kira. I'm guessing he sold someone out to get Laevateinn, and sending him to the House is the most the Middle could handle doing to him without breaking itself down|| (all of canto 9)
I agree with your view of the Middle though, and honestly think they're worse if they aren't superficial
He ||killed a brother and sister for the sword||
Woa, is this from buff text I missed?
...wait
Yeah
||He was part of the trio?||
oh man I think I got got the same way
||he killed his siblings who found the sword together with him ||
I didn't catch it myself but others did
Elaborate
||there was no proof that he did it, but the suspicion was still there ||
This sounds like something I should tiptoe around while making backreading comments
deserved
Where was the rest of the story?
Buff text is my best guess
don't quite remember where it was rn, sorry
I took the whole day (yesterday) to finish
No continues though, so time was well spent
That's why I think outis is a good matthias candidate ||she is seen as suspicious. So what if she didn't kill them, but was suspected anyway.
Odysseus in the story was believed by his crew to be greedily hiding treasure from them||
Wait a fucking minute
Kira is Ishmael
Because ||both were used and betrayed by their betters||
Of course
Rodion also fits ||due to the sword making her special, even if she sacrifices others||
...imagine if Ahab and Matthias swapped places in Kiramael's world
hoping they are one offs
Why this pic
I get it's unrelated but why choose that one
The three lives are ||Shioru Yomi (past), Ryoshu (present), and Araya (future)||, yes?
Roflmao
Thank you
More folks need to see this
(It's a ransom note meme, like what Vex makes for Lancer frames, except for Matthias)
Mhm
Mid-fight
Wish I did tbh
Was too focused on minimizing losses
And budgeting resources
You know
I wonder if ||Rien|| ould have been a nice fit for a Nothing There E.G.O
||A shell of a man made to mimic a person, and being so, so close to actually being something proper, but folding, falling into veing nothing but a imitation, good as it may be||
Not books, boxes
TRVTH NVKE
Plain cardboard to hold all the dupes
I feel like he'd fall short of this too cause Nothing There has a will of its own
A cynic one
Being guide by electricity from heaven
Controlled by the heavens, molded into a weapon and having no will of its own? Yeah that tracks
Say
In the mirror world where sinner 6 is Daiyu and 7 is Catherine, who would sinner 4 be
The dog
Cause that's the same one where 11 is Krom-oh wow ok LMAO
lei heng
Like koromary from persona
that's my unserious pick
Imagine the sanity damage witnessing the poor fluffer bite it multiple times
John wick's dog edit
Rien isn't capable of wielding an EGO equipment IMO
God, the unique deaths Abnormalities inflict would be more gruesome on a dog to me
More serious, Sora maybe
This is only because I haven't desensitized myself to violence on animal forms but my point still stands I think
I used to mute ffxiv when killing doglike enemies, due to their soubds when dying
Imagining her wish is to be freed from the prescript
||Araya.||
I dont know how, but... but it must be het
Her*
True, he did want to kill
It's such a shame he never found the opportunity
When he knelt down I was rooting for him and everything. Ah well.
He does fit the abuse themes of ryoshu's story
||like that penultimate line of his about being a bad textbook and wanting to die by yoshihide's hand is so sad. he really never had a fucking chance to be himself huh||
The aura in 4 words is so immense, thank you Project Moon
||A Wing's Decisive Weapon||
||G corp was scary. Seems the bugs follow biological imperative to multiply and consume||
I think I clocked that partway through myself
yeah I'd kind of dismissed ||Old G-Corp since they lost the war and the soldiers in Canto 1 weren't all that impressive ||but holy hell
what else do the wings have locked up
||As my losing attempt went on, I kept thinking about what Val said about the Emperor. "The pride and joy of G Corp.." As the roaches raked their way through the bloodshields I could only imagine one thing - the faces of G Corp.'s researchers, laughing and smiling from beyond in glee of their success. How awful the timing was.||
like that is the Horrors you put inside poor ||gregor||
||hong lu sneezes while rien recites that spider parable||
||Greg's still the exception most likely, since he was forged by special hands and tempered in a (for now) one of a kind environment, but it does tickle the imagination to think of what and how Wings would prepare for all out war||
||had a thought about araya that i'm not sure how i feel about. since the actual shiomi died back when ryoshu cut out her tongue, that would mean araya was the one to take in and train ren. meaning he got his whole shtick about only seeing himself as a tool for his master from her (probably)||
||hermesGPT generate me the strongest fixer in the city i can larp so the prescripts wont fold my bum ass into the n corp backstreets||
||that boy Roland is gonna tear through the city in a few years huh? I better copy his ass or I'm FINISHED ❗ ❗ ||
I'd imagine that W. Corp. would first fold its nest inward, gathering its human resources and sending them to the otherworld, and set up a structure perfect for guerrilla combat. Nimble jumpjets to navigate tunnels, respawn machines, and hotter lasers
but seriously rien is a character i have such strong mixed feelings about
sorrow and wrath, i dare say
screaming.
yea
most charitably you could choose to believe ||that he sort of took that up himself because of how obviously sad and depressed she was about everything. maximum white knight||
He’s like a stereotypical chivalrous knight/murim wanderer
Which is a whole pinky thing
Canto 9 (colorized)
alright, 9-50 beaten
much easier this time now that I actually ||disrupted his prescripts more||
his SP gain during the second phase still feels kinda crazy though
The weight of karma….
Also chat, I’m wondering now, ||if the giant machines that make prescripts have specific names, I wonder what the name of the pendulum one in Ruina is||
based on location and theming? delphi
well hold on
if i had to guess
||what we learned is that Hermes is a God of the City that transmits its will via radio waves and that it's an Oracle, and Rien is its Proxy||
||So wouldn't it be Apollo, not Delphi||
but also the keeper who takes yan there is named Moirai, which could also just be the name
the Moirai are the 3fold goddess of fate
It could be that the Weavers maintaining a Loom are just directly named after their God lol
clotho, atropos, and lachesis
but it could also be that Hermes is distinct in a meaningful way from the prescript generator that Moirai tended
yeah
Loom is a weaving machine
Hermes is a digital thing
specifically it's interesting to me because myth hermes is not a prophetic god himself
I love the Oufi Assoc. approved
well hold on
but he himself is not really prophetic
that's not quite true, there's another Hermes we could discuss instead
Trismegistus
which of course is relevant to Hohenheim and Faust
Ok to be fair, their average soldier are still kinda bums
more Knowledge Man
Of course, they had a lot
the alchemy stuff comes later
And the uhh
Aside from looms and digital
Big bugs
the original hermes trismegistus is primarily a classic pantheonic interpolation of hemes and thoth
Augury
absorbing thoth's domains of knowledge and prophecy
hah, haruspicy would be a wild medium of Prescript delivery
anthropomancy.... divination, by entrails
Ring adjacent method
well, anthropomancy is specifically by human entrails
I bet there are some are passed orally
pyromancy would also be valid as a means of Prescript delivery
I don't know if there's enough birds in the City for augury
I'm sure there's some index group that's throwing turtle shells into flames
I guarantee it
sure there are, you just have to go to the black forest and-
Prescript: die horribly
Gyromancy
actually is there a bird connection here
because the 3 birds are also kind of the moirai
Divination by spinning until you fall
clotho, who weaves the thread of fate, lachesis, who measures it, and atropos, who cuts it
that's pretty loose
big bird, who finds the target, judgement bird, who determines the sentence, and punishing bird, who carries it out
i mean there's a lot of loose threefold god connections, irl and in fiction lol
very common theme
yeah triads are really common in stories in general
Plus judgment bird has an association with forgetting thing/erasing events
but the birds are pmoon's premier 3-in-1 godhead kinda creature
I thought it was the node with the Index Nursefather vs. the Udjat
||because it's extremely short in comparision to how long all the boss fights in between are||
9-45
lmao
anotha one

We're finally playing canto 9!
(9-10) She's so adorable 😌
||Oh hey, it's you again!||
Spoilers all: sometimes winning is losing
Severed from the light
<R> ||Makes sense she's staring at Outis, they're both smoke war veterans||
<S> That's a heck of a height difference
||As if it wasn't obvious enough that the house of spiders had an inside source, geez||
||the joke on the rien fight so far is
"roland wouldnt have lost that clash
loser"||
would anyone happen to remember the most efficient way to use lunacy/enke
the way I heard it was converting 2 refills/day worth into modules and using them for dailies/mirror dungeons to get shards to shard everything
that seems far too austere for me, but I did go to 400 on the arknights collab, so like
I can see both ways
don't quote me btw go to one of the yellow names, they know more
2 times got it
what did I just say!
This is indeed the way
After the second refresh it’s too Lunacy-expensive to continue
Hmm… GMs are better at limbus company…
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) don't quote me btw go to one of the yellow names, they know more
The ones here have been here longer than I have for the most part so I trust their judgment over my own
nursefathers ranked by toxicity
i feel like we ignore ||araya/duihui star||
so
ring nf might be the least toxic of the them
rien is the least toxic because he's the least anything
tbh
Rien ||being forced to become roland|| has that same vibe as a DM putting a super mysterious coolguy whose a reference to a piece of media the players dont know or care about
Rien is toxic as all hell by being so nothing
because I had just found it and it was funny 
Nuggets on lady binah. Same

The Red Mist. only casualty of the second misting. . . .
i read ||"malleus maleficarum"|| and had to search it to refrehs my memory
i audibly groaned
moses is shorter than Don I think
I do wonder what ||Roland version of furioso would hit like||
and if he's also gonna ||count up his skill usage lmfao||
he absolutely would not lmao
if we ever fight roland i dont want there to be any sfx
any music
no voicelines
like
getting to see that in Limbus animations would be hype af though
“The White Noise” unironically goes hard af as a fixer name
just ||pure silent disregard||
and then ||he takes off his mask and turns out to be a huge dork||
||not even disregard that shit is noise cancelling||
gap moe
gap moeeeeeeee my babyyyyyyy
I’m almost tempted to say that I want the fight to have the barest amount of sound
Like, super muffled
Fixers are the natural enemies of Syndicates, and there is nothing that can change that. It's inevitable that they would be, one group commits acts of horrible violence upon people who probably don't deserve it for petty cash and favors, and the other does all that without getting a license from the Hana first.
Become one of many fixers in a new office trying to pursue their dreams in The City!
Barely hear anything
1db
But it’s there, because the chains let you hear the voice of your kingdom, even when you’ve gone blind to it all
You don’t understand the people outside it, because you’re not there. You don’t need to, because your kingdom knows it all. You’re just bound to the flow. But that’s fine. Someday you’ll break past it.
Towards the end of the week the leadership of the syndicate attempted to raid the office in retaliation, but unfortunately he didn't get the notice that they moved buildings. He ended up charging into an empty building, or rather a building empty of everything except spikey traps and prepared fixers. When all was said and done the Butcher Boys were dead and gone, relegated to being just another syndicate wiped out by a fixer office.

i love that pmoon actually brought out the random bullshit envy team
for the trailer
that's still absolutely recognizeable as being envy team
Oh damn, did they run into a distortion right at the start? Racking up sanity damage
||When you break the shell and evolve, everyone hoots and hollers for the Green Salvation. When I break the shell and molt, people go "what the fuck is that" and "call an Arbiter, Wings preserve us!" That doesn't seem fair.||
ah wait
this thing has no expiration condition
(for her new ego)
you can get 10% bonus damage forever
oh pog
the damage increase didnt' seem that reasonable at first
but if it's forever that's awesome
damn
so with her base ego passive also inluded
ryoshu can just have
unconditional
15% dmg bonus
on every attack
that and you can burn Entangled Life by reactivating the ego
mhmm
Ryoshu really do be the hyper killer sinner
"gimmicks? Status? Bruh I am hear to KILL YOU"
i just realized that charlie's "The middle are us cops"angle gets so much more true with with matthias
Petty-ass Faust
because despite the middle being super gungho about murderizing everything that even looks at them funny
||Mattias suffer no actual punishment for his crime, and is instead just shuffled off into a corner where he can't embarass the larger organization||
||despite being suspected of killing two of his brothers for a fuckin relic, WHICH HE IS ALLOWED TO KEEP||
meanwhile, a friend of mine in another server is fully invested in believe the middle's hype
because ricardo believes and he things that moses is a bias source
and yes, she is biased
but also
she can see into people's hearts
she's closest thing the city has to an objective omniscient viewer
like, each nurse father to me
is a failure to their finger because they do not adhere to the Kayfabe of their org properly
i feel like a lot of people forgot going into this canto
has it been explicitly stated in LC that she can see Distortions in people yet
that middle and limbus company
yes
are the bad guys
She says it about Mattias
from an objective standpoint
yeah
like
the fingers are not honorable insitutions
they're organized crime syndicates
and Organized crime likes to dress itself up in words of honor and duty and etc
for the middle
but none of that actually matters in the end
it's important to consider
their rules and heightened aggression isn't actually to protect their own
if they cared about protecting their own
it's to evoke fear
they wouldnt' jump into a firepit
no
it's not even to evoke fear
the aggression is the point
it's like how The Thumb are cowards who brag about their honor and discipline, then try some sneaky shit
they want ot beat people up
the rules are the excuse that they can cite to pretend as if they are righteous
their honorable swordfighting style is named after assassin's swordplay
i.e. sneaky killing techniques and poisoned blades
when always they are just beating people up because they feel like it
it's why rules lawyer like Meursault is at the bottom of their hierarchy
because rules actually doesn't matter
and the Ring are self-obsessed bleating goats who have lost the core of what makes art art
which is communication
and why a person righteous like Don is also at the bottom of the hierarchy
because righteousness doesn't matter
yeah
bwuhhhhh
he tells Meursault to jsut add a few extra random sentences
to make it more interesting
look me in the eyes
speaking of which, Yi Sang is a low ranking Student of the Ring because despite his surprising acceptance of darkness and sadism in the name of cutting away his past
and tell me i'm wrong
Yi Sang is ultimately too interested in having other people understand his work lmao
yeah
Yi Sang wants people to understand his work
which means he hasn't lost his humanity
Sang Yi
Well every identity for the Nursefathers is going to be a bad parent
I wonder about that
the Nursefather IDs might actually be better than their inspirations
yeah but ||I think Matthias is a llittle too much of a fail parent to be Outis||
Also I do think Odysseus is like
like can you imagine ||Outis allowing her kid's room to remain a pigsty of empty ramen noodle cups||
also: Sinclair is also not a model Thumb but a footsoldier because he cares more about rules than about politicking and backstabbing
which is the actual heart of the Thumb's hierarchy
valencina|| outis kinda tracks too||
yep!
is he?
it'll be Matthias Rodion btw
he left to war and fought tooth and nail to get back?
Whyyyyyyy
which lengthened the journey considerably
as you rise to the top things they care about more actually surface
but that isn't entirely his fault
uh because Rodion is obsessed with being special
it's HER laevateinn
her arrakis, her dune...
i do appreciate that
Ya know, true
ricardo actually do seem to care a bit about his own men
ye
But Val is right there…
Ricardo's high on his own supply (positive)
but he seems to be the exception to the rule
whoi actually holds the ideals of a bad org to heart
oh my god
but i think he is more an exception that proves the rule
Ricardo is the token good cop lmfao
he's Javert
Good cop but acab ya know
my friend kind of brushed it off
but it is fascinating to me
that he doesn't really examine how someone like mattias
is able ot rise so high in the middle
until he did something that could not be ignored
and even then
barely got punished for it
anyways I kinda predict that we'll get Matthias Rodion but with the caveat that she genuinely really likes Ishmael and isn't as much of a womanchild as Matthias is a manchild
if we do get these Nursefather IDs, anyways
yeah
I think it may all be a setup lol
except for one thing
no he does
he really really really loves fighting
the beast is still very much within Leisault
true
