THE PROMISE STILL CAN BE FULFILLED

LIMBUS IS A COMPANY THAT MAKES DREAMS POSSIBLE

THIS BUS WILL REACH PARADISE

whaaahhha,,aa.a.aa.a?

eternal gull

This truly was our limbus company...

No.
Hey.

AAAARRRRGGHGHHHHH

mystic ermine

What do you mean.

#

Can we not

turn the

Also, woe, 3 dungeons upon you /j

Dante can only turn the clock back on physical wounds

Emotional shock can only be healed with time

Mhm

#

Think of it as why we start fights with 0 SP

split beacon

I wonder, I wonder...

#

||what if they change Gregor's LCB ID too...||

faint pivot
lean fjord
vagrant dove
#

Uptie 5 just for LCB ids trust

faint pivot
split beacon
#

it's highly plausible

lean fjord
#

Netzach would probably be mass heal and protection

faint pivot
#

Oh right he's Safety head

split beacon
#

nah

faint pivot
#

Both HP & SP?

split beacon
#

knock back that Enkephalin brew

#

crack open a cold one with Netzach

faint pivot

a whole case*

hey

lean fjord
#

I should remember to use my Durante if I try 9-51 again

split beacon
#

you're the one who said no spoilers

faint pivot
#

I'm describing the source :p

faint pivot
atomic steeple
#

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

split beacon
#

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

atomic steeple
#

Every reverb member is washed

split beacon
#

definitionally

vagrant dove
#

I did really like the ensemble being the exact opposite of their respective Librarians

faint pivot
split beacon
#

they got the whole vegetable treatment

#

they're washed, chopped, AND cooked

vagrant dove
dusty sigil
vagrant dove
#

Phillip's story makes me sad

faint pivot
#

Philip ain't washed he'd turn to stone if he was /j
Still smells like sulfur

split beacon
#

Philip, by the way, is the most interesting Qlipha

barren flame
#

Hey guys how we coping with canto 9?

faint pivot
#

Wait he's wax not magma

dusty sigil
dusty sigil
barren flame
#

Pshhh

#

It's fiiiiine

vagrant dove
split beacon
#

He's explicitly the most real, grounded one because Malkuth doesn't need a Qlipha as it's physical existence

#

so instead

faint pivot
split beacon
#

the Qlipha corresponding to Malkuth is Lilith, all the badness of life

#

that's what Philip represents

#

not high minded ideals

#

Life going badly.

barren flame
#

Okay a solid " In Hell we Live, Lament"/10

split beacon
#

he's Shit Sucks incarnate

atomic steeple
#

He drowned in the shit of life

#

Listen. Imagine the fanfic you can write soon. Legendary comfort.

dusty sigil
#

That’s so true

vagrant dove
#

I think my favourite of the ensemble is Tanya and how her perception of strength clashes with Gebs

dusty sigil
#

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||

vagrant dove
split beacon
#

and drowned in that

split beacon
#

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

vagrant dove
dusty sigil
#

THATS TRUE THATS TRUE

#

NEVER LET YOUR DELUSIONS FALTER

vagrant dove
#

THERE IS ALWAYS A COPE

faint pivot
dusty sigil
#

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

split beacon
#

if your eyes percieve cruelty, crush it

#

if your ears hear suffering, alleviate it

vagrant dove
split beacon
#

if your nose smells rot, burn it

stoic fjord
#

a better world is possible

tear down the worse one

split beacon
#

become more Hong Lord pilled.

vagrant dove
#

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."

split beacon
#

yeah he's a good hongler

vagrant dove
#

I love the interactions he has with the other candidates in general

lean fjord
#

I love Lord Hong

faint pivot
lean fjord
#

He really is "I say the whole world shall learn of our peaceful ways... by force"

crimson spindle
#

carmen isn't on the stop perceiving badness train

atomic steeple
#

I find it fascinating the seasonal waw seems more positive than previous ones
Being about the world and entangled lives

crimson spindle
#

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

atomic steeple
barren flame
#

"Fail to solve the problem. make it everyone else's problem. Add simplex noise to everyone's misery"

atomic steeple
#

Burn will eat good

faint pivot
split beacon
#

And he Distorted

crimson spindle
#

yeah, because that's his specific inner wish

faint pivot
#

I guess people just crash out differently

split beacon
#

Yeah

crimson spindle
#

I Wish I Didn't Have to Perceive This

split beacon
#

So uh

atomic steeple
split beacon
#

What are we thinking the fruit is y’all

barren flame
#

well first off you can't call them that, second off outis.

true bluff
#

a watermelon

crimson spindle
#

i mean metaphorically it's the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil basically certainly

#

original sin

atomic steeple
faint pivot
#

knowledge...good and evil...
"I'll chop down that tree...with my bare hands!"

split beacon
#

Is it? Wouldn’t it make more sense for the Fruit of the Golden Tree to be, like… God?

dusty sigil
atomic steeple
faint pivot
crimson spindle
#

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'

split beacon
#

I guess I’m wondering if it really makes sense for the Golden Boughs to be a second attempt at Genesis

split beacon
#

Knowledge of everything, you say

crimson spindle
#

yes

#

I bring that up very specifically

true bluff
#

nah, they are gonna turn them into the Golden Bows, because it'll be prepared for war...or something

split beacon
#

That explains Faust’s interest then

vagrant dove
#

Yeah I was about to say

#

Links to Sinclair there

crimson spindle
#

and my overarching theory is that this is all an attempt at recreating the origin of the city

#

to usurp the head

split beacon
#

Ah

#

So that’s why it would be a second Genesis

#

Astute

crimson spindle
#

original sin

#

one sin and a thousand good deeds

split beacon
#

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”

crimson spindle
#

yeah

#

faust gets knowledge of good and evil/everything

#

dias gets The City

split beacon
#

But there’s an answer - Dias gets her City and Faust gets knowledge of all things

atomic steeple
#

Genuinely expected ||lucio to distort
Maybe we'll get a thumb distorion in an intervallo||

split beacon
#

OH AND ALSO

dusty sigil
#

Man, ||that ending scene really did give us more questions then answers for Faust||

split beacon
#

It explains why Future Sinclair has renounced knowledge as a solution

faint pivot
dusty sigil
#

||Because our Faust, isn’t a high ranking member of the Gelleshect, she’s seen as the class idiot||

split beacon
#

Because he’s learned that knowledge can only perpetuate the City and its conflicts

dusty sigil
#

||Shes stupid and dumb||

faint pivot
#

I'm expecting them to show up mid-canto tbh

dusty sigil
#

||But she’s also the one actually in reality collecting the golden boughs||

split beacon
faint pivot
dusty sigil
#

Yah, ||though it really changes things depending on when she was demoted||

atomic steeple
split beacon
#

Yes

barren flame
#

Faust is || the 616 reed in the council of reed richards right? ||

atomic steeple
#

The powerful and the so-called wise create a cognitive prison on the world

crimson spindle
#

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

vagrant dove
#

Embrace your true and honest desires, and all that

crimson spindle
#

do what thou wilt is the whole of the law

crimson spindle
#

crash the fuck out and do the impossible: change things

#

usually for the worse! but change them

faint pivot
#

Ironic that that eventually leads to abnormalities

#

Which perpetuate the cycle forevermore

crimson spindle
#

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

atomic steeple
vagrant dove
faint pivot
#

Oh true but in the end

#

Nothing really changes

crimson spindle
#

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"

vagrant dove
#

yeah

crimson spindle
#

which is why carmen doesn't like it as much but accepts it

atomic steeple
#

Ego is a shell
Distortion is peeling

vagrant dove
#

very well put

faint pivot
#

The path maybe looks a bit different, you see more deadly wounds from under and drownings but violence is still condoned

vagrant dove
#

i hope we see more examples of Volatile EGO tbh

crimson spindle
#

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

atomic steeple
#

Break
Like carmen did

crimson spindle
#

distortions can only be reversed by external influence

faint pivot
#

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

atomic steeple
#

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

mystic ermine
#

alright

#

chatroom

#

time for... for the Spider's Thread.

vagrant dove
#

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)

faint pivot

Welcome back from your break Magic

You literally can't do jack about all those but alright 🫡

Tbh that + the replica skills are the only standouts

mystic ermine

Of course you have Shin.

is there a trick to Shock Centipede

lean fjord

IIRC if you clash it's skills with defense it loses stacks quicker?

once it has the self charge

We do have 2 IDs that can use shin already. Caposault and indexdon

crimson spindle

||The reason they specifically show the hanzi for his phrases in his fight is because he's quoting ryoshu's old sheathe||

#

This canto has really allowed more flexibility for some of my fan index ideas

mystic ermine
#

Buddy i WON the clash

#

where is Rodion

faint pivot
#

Oh yeah another standout weapon

mystic ermine
#

Something has gone gravely wrong

faint pivot
#

You know how these unbreakables have clauses where they don't stagger?

lean fjord
#

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 ||

faint pivot
#

One of the Blunt weapons raises stagger threshold. By 3. Enough to Stagger when you've passed it due to Unbreakables

split beacon
faint pivot
mystic ermine
#

60, no worries

#

don't give me advice, I know what I did wrong

faint pivot
#

Ok good

split beacon
#

Every single weapon Rolex can manifest from the caduceus has its own brief story you can read from the buff tooltip

atomic steeple
split beacon
#

It’s handled as a buff

lean fjord
split beacon
#

Each weapon is technically a status Rolex gives himself and then purges at the end of the attack

vagrant dove
karmic escarp
#

||her heated blade passive makes it even more explicit||

#

||iirc it says something like 'unlike dad's, mine have to turn off'||

faint pivot
split beacon
#

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

faint pivot
#

Ah?

mystic ermine
#

You're projecting, dad

faint pivot
#

The passive only shows the effects

#

No flavor

mystic ermine
#

hoaoahh

split beacon
#

Just click on the tooltips for “when piercing the ribs with a hatchet…”

lean fjord
split beacon
#

Also, cool fact

#

Rolex’s skill names combine with the buffs

split beacon
#

To show you that each attack is a Prescript instruction

mystic ermine
vagrant dove
#

Go my uma

split beacon
#

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!

mystic ermine
#

It is dire.

eternal gull
mystic ermine
#

he-hey now, Mister DM

lean fjord

also
I really wonder how Ren and his master really interacted now

Speaking of Udjat Outis

how is You Heathcliff in Burn btw?

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

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

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

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.

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.
