are we genuinely latching onto Penelope Dante theory in any real capacity

is there anything at all in any source media or history that could sort of make it make sense

Slr, was breaking down

Uhhh.the ttrpg strat where you gain hp by killing things

While the intent is to use it in combat/against enemies, the loophole is to have a bag or rats to kill for a quick hp snack

[vagrant dove]

I can't wait till we get Dias onscreen as well

[gentle mulch]

an dhe rr

[cosmic gorge]

Bag of Rats means "thinking up a 'clever' out of box solution in a non aesthetically pleasing way"

[vagrant dove]

I require my favourite morally dubious at best scarily charismatic bond villain to interact with the idiosyncracies of the sinners

Or dant

It would be peak

[cosmic gorge]

Consider

Dante as Calypso

[gentle mulch]

i cant fucking wait for this bad end ryoshu

it's coming out the week after walp ends iirc

fuuuuuck FUUUUUUCK FUUUUUCK I NEED TO SEE WHAT IT IS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK6UvGsYxl4

i just noticed there's a thunder sfx for YMFTCTB

he's so auraful

[dusty sigil]

I don’t think Penelope is ever mentioned in the divine comedy

Odysseus is seen suffering in hell

But not Penelope

Ok she is mentioned, when talking about Odysseus loving her

She is otherwise not seen in inferno

[cosmic gorge]

Still funny how Dante Alighieri's sense of weird mythic nationalism had him put Odysseus in hell for being why Troy (italy's supposed ancestor via Aeneas) is sacked

[dusty sigil]

Yah, Dante I think puts every Greek hero in the Trojan war in hell

Due to their war being against Troy

Yah Achilles is also in hell for his lust

(Though that may be more due to him being gay then greek)

[stoic fjord]

I do actually kind of wonder what Dias thinks about the Sinners/Dante themselves

little more than henchpeople? the most important part of this rube goldberg machine of a company? something in between?

[gentle mulch]

i imagine the same way she sees her top of the top elite soldiers

stepping stones

[vagrant dove]

yeah it's really funny

notably the Romans did not like Odysseus/Ulixes either

[stoic fjord]

makes sense

[keen palm]

https://youtu.be/8pakMnT4qA8?si=pGTw1GModTNvgKIj

YEAAAAAAAAAAH

[vagrant dove]

expendables that have the advantage of not dying when they are killed most likely

[dusty sigil]

I kinda bet she sees most of them like she sees Vespa

Useful but dreadfully uninterested tools

[keen palm]

The entire operation is built around the bus

Everything and everyone else is a bonus

[stoic fjord]

true

[keen palm]

Nothing else ultimately matters except the boughs

[dusty sigil]

The difference in the way she treats Moses and Ezra compared to Vespa is kinda palpable

[vagrant dove]

like I don't doubt that when we stop being useful Dias will stop caring

[stoic fjord]

I think Canto 5 is an exception that proves the rule with regards to uhhhh

[keen palm]

And seemingly only the sinners can get the boughs

[stoic fjord]

the company and acquiring boughs?

[dusty sigil]

Yah, the flow is in our favor

[stoic fjord]

and even then it's just stated, we don't necessarily know that the LCA could obliterate the whale

though I wouldn't doubt it

[dusty sigil]

The sinners are destined to return to their pasts and collect the boughs

[stoic fjord]

but in every other canto, yeah, you need the bus team

[vagrant dove]

when not sabotaged, the Udjat are a very formidable force yeah

[keen palm]

I do think at that point they couldn't

Like the Indigo Elder didnt actually do jack shit against the Pallid Whale

At that point only Ishmael could kill it

[stoic fjord]

while fair, the Indigo Elder is just one color fixer

[keen palm]

Thats not my point

[stoic fjord]

Dias has Corp levels of resources, even if she isn't the head of a corp

[dusty sigil]

I think the indigo elder thought he could kill it with Vergilius’s help, but one of them would absolutely die in the fight

So like, make of that what you will

[gentle mulch]

the answer to these sorts of questions is: "i mean i guess but that's too expensive to ever humor"

[keen palm]

My point is that the Bough had fused into the whale and that meant at that point mundane power doesnt matter

Plot dictates what happens next

[stoic fjord]

ohhhh right yeah that is true

[keen palm]

The LCA and Indigo and Vergilus could all team up but because they arent destined to win, because theres no emotional resonance if they did, they cant

[dusty sigil]

Oh yah

[keen palm]

Thats why Ishmael's harpoon did more damage to the whale than the Indigo Elder's

Because she is Ishmael

[dusty sigil]

Makes sense, the treacherous Ishmael is the only reason the righteous captain ahab couldn’t slay the whale that was rightfully hers to slay

[faint pivot]

Nay, Angela says that it's nonsense though

The acronym and its meaning, I mean

[gentle mulch]

😭

[faint pivot]

Frankly incredible that there's still so much we don't know about

[gentle mulch]

with one of the most tossed around acronyms in the entire franchise being undefined

i am not worried at all abt pinky lore

[faint pivot]

Yeah like

There is so fucking much

Project Moon is cramming so much info density into this setting

That frankly I'm MORE than satisfied with the little crumbs we're getting

Pinkies could control the backstreets by having Wings eat them up for all I care

There's just like

[gentle mulch]

pinkies could straight up be like we dont feel like managing our own territories lolll and ill 👍

[faint pivot]

Also remind me, when was the concept of a Finger introduced? If it was all the way in Ruina then it could be outdated

Alternatively the Pinky could be rehashing it

[keen palm]

Ruina

[faint pivot]

Like how Limbus is redifining EGO with Dante's EGO system

Or Ruina did with its own EGO system

[keen palm]

Also Ruina has never particularly been retconned?

[faint pivot]

Is this a retcon?

[keen palm]

Saying something is outdated because it was in Ruina, the game before Limbus, is saying that Limbus retconned something yea

[faint pivot]

Okay yeah but like

I don't concretely know about how the Pinky handles this 'responsibility' to say that

Hense the question

[gentle mulch]

is EGO redefined at this rate? if the original definition was called out for BS, we don't have much to go off of from there

[faint pivot]

Redifined isn't the best word I'll admit

But like

[keen palm]

We know that the Pinky has to in some way hold territory because that's what the Fingers do

[faint pivot]

Is what Dante doing even part of the original definition

[keen palm]

and we have never been told the Pinky doesn't so there's no reason to assume they don't

[faint pivot]

I'm not saying that they aren't controlling territory

[gentle mulch]

probably tangentially but not enough for me to be like "yeah that's basically following it"

[faint pivot]

I'm speculating on what the Pinky is as a writing piece/Thing in relation to the other Fingers

Since yeah it's very very special

It infiltrates other Fingers

Limited slots, etc. etc.

[stoic fjord]

something that I'm reminded of

biologically, iirc, roughly uhhh

33% of your grip strength comes from your pinky?

[faint pivot]

We haven't even mentioned the molasses drip of lore we're getting on Dante

[stoic fjord]

the commonly repeated fact is 50%

but from what I can tell, that's ring and pinky combined

and is in fact kind of false due to being overstated

but the pinky does do a lot for your grip strength due to which muscles it's connected to iirc

despite being the smallest finger

[faint pivot]

Funky

[stoic fjord]

basically what I'm trying to say is that if the idea of ||The Palm is more than de facto collaboration, I suspect the Pinky is most directly related and is the most involved|| Canto 9 spoilers, sort of

is my guess

[faint pivot]

I suppose that's why one of our first examples is openly part of another finger

[faint pivot]

That makes sense

The little we know so far support this

[stoic fjord]

thank you random biology trivia book for giving me fuel for Limbus theories

[gentle mulch]

it's fun to speculate; it certainly does help pass the time in between events

[faint pivot]

Project Moon practically invites us to, anyway

They sprinkle in so much stuff that'll be relevant later on

[stoic fjord]

the two things keeping me going until the next content drop

1. Lugong (zilu x zigong) fanart (also fanart in general)
2. batshit insane speculation

[faint pivot]

Like I did NOT expect the goddamned clocktower scene to be relevant this canto

[gentle mulch]

lugong auuuuuhhh

[stoic fjord]

rn I'm just like

fucking digging through everything I can find on Alriune

to try and speculate on Meursault

[gentle mulch]

they were so fucking blatant with it and we never guessed because that just sounds like a ryoshuism

[stoic fjord]

wait

no

queen bee

I'm stupid

[gentle mulch]

like yeah of course she would know the exact time it takes for her cig to go out she's ryoshu she's just Like That

and then it's like ohhh

oh.

[gentle mulch]

Ryoshu got Alriune and Old Lady, which like

[stoic fjord]

...

hrm.

[gentle mulch]

i thought Meursault would have that if anything

so

fuck it

[stoic fjord]

this almost feels antithetical to everything we just went through with Canto 9

[faint pivot]

Meursault wasn't abandoned and alone

So that crosses out Solitude

[gentle mulch]

not abandoned but may be alone

his base EGO is him in a solitary cell titled "Chains of Others" so it could be a more abstract loneliness

[stoic fjord]

also

given that Ryoshu speaks to her E.G.O weapons

I wonder what the chatter will be this time

[gentle mulch]

ooh yeah

[stoic fjord]

fuck I'm just

what on earth does Hornet mean for Meursault

[gentle mulch]

refresh me on Hornet?

[stoic fjord]

it's the Queen Bee E.G.O

I don't know like

thematics of it, beyond like

uhhh

drones for the hive, singlemindedly serving the queen

any harm done to her is unforgiveable, and they must spread her glory infinitely

[gentle mulch]

oh. Old Lady is for Ryoshu because. [][][][][] is. Khm.

[gentle mulch]

Maybe something with Carmen?

Or even with the EGO morphs maybe Hornet to Meursault is being able to have a clear set of instructions and hierarchy--but he still stands out despite that (hence, being able to change the EGO)

[stoic fjord]

hrmmm...

[keen palm]

I heard it described as:

they're giving meur the ego gear of the abnormality themed around a prosperous kingdom fueled by the sacrifices of workers that are then forgotten entirely. and whose ego weapon is a gun said to require "only the will to hit the target" in lieu of skillful aiming. and whose flavor text includes the line "If [name] happens to feel abdominal pain and a tingling sensation in their neck, the only option they would have is to look at the great blue sky one last time." like ok

[gentle mulch]

oh

that ties in with The Stranger pretty well

[stoic fjord]

...I kinda wonder why that line is

there

like

"the only option they would have is to look at the great blue sky one last time."

is

weird

incredibly weird

[keen palm]

The only option they have is to soak in the beauty around them before their death

[stoic fjord]

true, likely just a flowery way to say "death is inevitable"

[gentle mulch]

It's been a while since I read the book but there's a heavy emphasis on the sensual experiences that Meursault has. More often than not his thought process is less revealing as a line of thought but rather interpretations of what he feels at the moment. That line in particular connects with Meursaults' pre-execution days where he ponders life and starts to yk

soak in that beauty

[gentle mulch]

of course Hong Lu gets it

wait what

HONG LU GETS LUCIO?? ISN'T THE ID REVEAL ON MONDAY??

[stoic fjord]

it's fanart

[gentle mulch]

oh thank fuck

[crimson spindle]

lovely and guileful CEO

[gentle mulch]

i was like there's no way my weekend went by that fast

[uneven canopy]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/limbuscompany/comments/1rhihwc/harmony_sinclair_zzio444/

[wild mango]

Oh thank god it’s fanart I want Hong Lu to be Albina

Or Faust

[keen palm]

I'd be surprised if Hong Lu isn't Calypso

Not sure who else could really pull that off

[stoic fjord]

Calypso?

[wild mango]

callisto?

hong lu COULD be valencia cos of the eye

[stoic fjord]

doubtful

[wild mango]

also ablina has heterocromia too

[bronze zephyr]

I think ring duo will be fau and hong, just not sure which and which

[wild mango]

i HOPE

since that works out well for the bleed team

[stoic fjord]

my guess is Faust is Albina

given how the ring apprentice spoke in the tiny snippet we got from Renclair

[keen palm]

Hong Lu COULD be Valencia cos of the eye but I really hope it's Rodya

[bronze zephyr]

I highly doubt it, mainly cuz the idea of hong lu abusing heath is weird to me

[tiny cave]

Abusive man = gross, disgusting
Abusive large, big chested Russian woman = hot, mommy step on me

I’m betting on Callisto HL if anything for him

[stoic fjord]

I'm torn between Meursault and Hong Lu for Callisto

I can definitely see Hong Lu being a passionless ring artist who just recreates variations of the same base concept because this was pushed onto him by the elders or smth

Meursault because

like

yeah

[keen palm]

The weird thing is that 2 sinners aren't getting apprentices

or nursefathers

and one of them is probably Ryoshu

so who's the other one

[karmic escarp]

ryo's getting dihui star

[keen palm]

I can't imagine so

I would presume she'd get a team captain House Of Spiders faction glue ID

[bronze zephyr]

i think the main reason i dont like meursault callisto is that we have Prince lol

[karmic escarp]

shes literally getting it
it was in the stream

[stoic fjord]

fair lol

[stoic fjord]

wasn't it just that we know she's getting a bad end ID? which is like, standard.

[karmic escarp]

the silhouette is very clearly her in yoru's outfit

[bronze zephyr]

Oh did we get a silhouette, did I miss it

[eternal berry]

We already got some deets on capstone Ryo’s kit and she’s not really a leader

Having the other IDs will empower her skills but she’s not really meant to tie them into one team

[bronze zephyr]

She is in the sense she wants to be paired w other HoS IDs

[stoic fjord]

okay yeah fair enough

[stoic fjord]

so kind of like Wildhunt, then? though more direct

[eternal berry]

||https://www.reddit.com/r/limbuscompany/comments/1rg47zb/ryoshu_bad_end_id_kit_sneak_peek_from_the/||

[stoic fjord]

spoiler that please

[eternal berry]

I’m wondering what the condition for that third bullet point will be

It’d be funny if triggers on ally death of HoS IDs

[gentle mulch]

so

do we have a silhouette or not

[eternal berry]

Yes

[gentle mulch]

right

[bronze zephyr]

and where is it,

[gentle mulch]

is the silhouette in the room with us right now..?

[eternal berry]

https://www.youtube.com/live/i7uXpviKVIQ?t=4651&si=944JmwD8ggoMjsr2

We got like a teeny glimpse of it here in the roadmap during the livestream

If you zoom in it’s pretty clear imo

[karmic escarp]

yeah sorry i didnt go out and get it im in a LANCER game RN 😭

[eternal berry]

It’s a bunch more conclusive with the mechanics preview we got a bit after in the vid

[gentle mulch]

ah i see
thanks

[gentle mulch]

I can't imagine Past and Future resource being anything but a Dihui Star ID

unless it's something genuinely crazy like Araya with Ryoshushiki or some shit

[karmic escarp]

that'd be crazy

[gentle mulch]

yeah

Araya as the incinerator and Ryoshu as the Star

But uhh

Important note she's probably going to be frail as fuck

[stoic fjord]

honestly this wouldn't even be the craziest thing I feel like

like I expect some wild shit in this mirror world

[gentle mulch]

Considering she forces HoS IDs to take damage in her stead

Erasing Me? Nah, Erasing You

[gentle mulch]

maybe not, but it would be unprecedented to have a sinner's ID be completely replaced by another person, even if semi clone

[bronze zephyr]

E.M, E.Y.

[gentle mulch]

even Wildhunt Heath is still Heath, and not even the same uberdestructive scheming bastard

(ok but srsly its cuz i do macros so its like, 4 hours a day)

(end up playing like, 20 minutes a day myself)

[atomic steeple]

No, t'was a joke due to the va making outis confess her love to dante

[atomic steeple]

Meursault takes over all ancient cities and turns them into bases

[atomic steeple]

Hell, ryoshu's base ego may have been hee subconsciously knowing the future. Lovingly hugging the sword

[atomic steeple]

Plus in ruina, the queen being harmed too much leads to the workers attacking her. Perhaps the amount of harm breaks the idea of her glory the kingdom is built on, showing her as a bug like any other. Thus a rebellion

[atomic steeple]

I'm betting on gregor

[bronze zephyr]

[atomic steeple]

Finally, I beat red mist in library of ruina. Binah is playable
So the plot goes that angela simulated past version of gebura to fight
After that, angela explains her understanding of ego and distortion, and that she may be at fault for the latter
Roland asks if she feels bad
She replies no. She must grasp what she wants for herself, damn the consequences. Plus "unworthy scum" to her is undeserving of ego, so it's proper they distort
Roland is dismayed at all this

Angela: No

I almost lost, but at the end started spamming ego
Red eyes and today expression, then just today expression multiple times

This abno is very useful

[dusty sigil]

See part of me wants them because having a face laser would be, very funny

But also I feel like the cool parts of cane office are mostly Nemo’s face

Which they can’t change because IDs need to keep the normal heads of sinners so it’s obvious who they are

[faint pivot]

Nemo Gregor with a hologram head, trust

[stoic fjord]

also his two assistants being kind of weird and not entirely default

sadako headass

[dusty sigil]

Yah she’d be a sick ID

[stoic fjord]

also Bada's charge gauntlets are cool

[dusty sigil]

That’s fair but otherwise I feel like Bada is, kinda boring

[stoic fjord]

true

[dusty sigil]

He is sorta just a guy in a suit

[stoic fjord]

I think he's the straight man who makes Martina and Nemo stand out more

[dusty sigil]

Yah

I like cane office a lot

I just don’t think they’d make good IDs besides Martina

[stoic fjord]

mhm

[dusty sigil]

You can’t have Nemo’s screen head which is the most important part and Bada is a straight man in a dynamic they wouldn’t have

[atomic steeple]

Have the nemo id carry their regular human/humanoid head around

[stoic fjord]

Nemo is also super expressive and the way he talks is a major part of him as well imo

[dusty sigil]

That’s also true yah

[dusty sigil]

See that’d be sick

[stoic fjord]

also his expressions are just. really fun

[atomic steeple]

Fascinating thing is a lot of cyborgs in ruina are treated as gender neutral

[dusty sigil]

Fuck I forgot Bada had his heart ripped out

Jesus

[stoic fjord]

...when?

I can't think of any examples rn

[atomic steeple]

It is in the extra book, I think.

[dusty sigil]

They’re always referred to neutrally

I don’t remember their name unfortunately

Speaking of Dante, only their head is augmented yea?

haven't really gotten much in game depictions without their work clothes

[keen palm]

Probably not considering their skin appears to be like

Completely in-humanly black

Actually going back to check to see if I was right about that

but actually just getting distracted at how like

the art in cutscenes was just so much better in early cantos

goddamn

This shit is just so expressive and good

[uneven canopy]

either its pitch black skin or gloves

[ebon forge]

man i really miss vell art

[keen palm]

Dante just wears gloves

but like

Logically we should see a neck here

[stoic fjord]

oh also

[keen palm]

Any time Dante's skin should be visible it's just pitch black

Man Vell Heath looks so much more boyish

[keen palm]

man Ryoshu's bangs are so much more intense

[stoic fjord]

wait nvm Dante with the tropical shirt has a long-sleeved shirt under it

[uneven canopy]

they are always buttoned the hell up

makes ait a bit harder to see her eyebrow expressions

[neat cedar]

i don't think it is triple

[ebon forge]

[ebon forge]

burn bleed

but also, triple cuz we can do burn bleed poise i think

[neat cedar]

burn bleed focus.comp is Kiraish, Nclair, hornet sault

[faint pivot]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[neat cedar]

and that's about it so.far

[faint pivot]

Who's the 2nd burn poise

[ebon forge]

[faint pivot]

[faint pivot]

Hopefully we get Heathcliff Lucio

[neat cedar]

[atomic steeple]

It's interesting how much you get for r corp in ruina
Most receptions give 1 team
R corp gives you 3, one of which nullifies the default drawback of ranged cards

You'd expect reindeers to be artillery (they shoot psychic beams) but they only have one ranged card

[cloud wadi]

they are more of a fire and forget missile

[faint pivot]

That's all they need to be fair

[faint pivot]

My mind didn't clock that this could also apply to him

Dawnclair upscale, let's fucking go

A shame he can't go in Bureed but, ah well

[cosmic gorge]

oh okay

[dusty sigil]

Man, if there is no 30 Damage cap on hornet Meursault like there is for the Liu

Then like, he’s an instant include in burn

It’d be like having another dark flame up

[atomic steeple]

Wait, he has the ruina page effect!

[cloud wadi]

also its a multi attack multi coin sp healer that gives damage buffs to allies

which means its a MUST INCLUDE in most teams

also it gives himself constant damage and offense level buff

why would you ever not use this ego

[wintry fiber]

Crazy glowup

[cloud wadi]

Harmony was this strong in ruina too tbh

It’s one of the more powerful egos

Only reason why it didn’t get used more was because solemn lament exited

It’s still used in speedruns because lol strength stacking

[gentle mulch]

I'll shard it next walp

rolling for EGOs is miserable

and also because i really want the binah announcer

[dusty sigil]

Crimson Scar Ishmael and Cobalt Scar Heathcliff from @ Gobdeung_2

[worthy haven]

I will chill roll for anything

Tis way I save

50k lunacy on standby 😌

[cloud wadi]

I mean that means you are gonna be rolling anyways so just hope you get lucky haha

[dusty sigil]

Hornet Meursault having 3 wrath skills is clearly just set up for these two to be added in a future Walp and make wrath resonance a thing…

[gentle mulch]

I'd rather roll 200 for an announcer later when i could also nab Potentially 3-5 IDs along the way

otherwise I'd just be rolling for 400 trying to get an EGO and then an announcer

still shuddering over the arknights event

[cloud wadi]

Since ego alteration is now a thing

It’s possible that crimson scar Ishmael might use a hunting spear or a harpoon

[gentle mulch]

AHABMAEL

[atomic steeple]

I need to do thumb ii

[faint pivot]

Love & Hate does not have it

[dusty sigil]

Chat, do you think unfocused volley makes a skills stronger?

[ebon forge]

yeah

against many enemies it tends to be a little weaker

but against low HP its an execute tool

[keen palm]

Currently i see it as a thing that mabe potentially has a downside but is almost always good

[lean fjord]

It's neutral I think

[dusty sigil]

I see

[gentle mulch]

It's good for softening up a random amt of enemies to be staggered before an unbreakable coin clash or something

[lean fjord]

Worse than true AoE, and then kinda varies

[dusty sigil]

Also man, what’s up with all the tremor sinking Walp units?

Is that gonna be the new big tremor type?

[lean fjord]

Who knows

Not particularly thrilled about any of the Walp units this time, but I'll probably still pull anyway

I got enough saved up

[stoic fjord]

I'm pulling because they wield guns

Close to 500 in the bank rn, not counting tickets

[cosmic gorge]

[faint pivot]

What about Ebony Stem

Ah

[cosmic gorge]

Idk about the stem

Maybe its a greg thing who knows

[split beacon]

Ebony Stem is distrust and betrayal of others in the name of one’s own safety

[karmic escarp]

isnt it kind of implied that the apple from rose hunter's dungeon event has some kind of relation to ebony stem too?

or at least, theyre thematically connected by being based on snow white

[cosmic gorge]

The evil queen to the hunter of snow white yea

[faint pivot]

Do y'all think the "cameo" abnormalities still resonate with Ryoshu?

Like Ambling Pearl and Red Gossypium?

[karmic escarp]

the pearl sealed shut within its shell....

snow white's apple certainly has parallels to ||araya in some ways||

||abandoned (though in araya's case ryoshu did ultimately want to return to save her), 'rotting' away in the temporal safe. if we make a slightly wild assumption that EQ's Apple is in some way connected to the poison apple snow white ate (perhaps the source of it?) and that SW's Apple is EQ's 'child' in a sense, then SW is ultimately molded into its 'mother's' shape ||

as a slightly related aside, i really think that the apple in rose hunter's MD event is EQ and not SW
the hunter is obviously meant to be akin to the hunter who spares and then chases off snow white in the original fairy tale
but here it's inverted, and it's seeking the apple in order to return it to its 'rightful role' as 'a princess'.
("What I am looking for is an apple that will become a princess, not knowing its rightful place.")
princesses grow up to become queens,
"Stories must follow their natural courses. This is the flow we shall follow, so accept it."
i dont really have much of a closing statement

I hafta wonder what Gossypium has to do with all this

Aside from the thematics of silk & thread

[bronze zephyr]

gossypium ego 🙏 🙏🙏

[split beacon]

Yes

He's got both Dimensional Refraction Variant and Faelantern's on in his bird suit

[mystic ermine]

He has the Faelantern's?

oh

[vagrant dove]

Loose connection, but apart from the binding thread thing, Gossypium's ego gifts are also noted for being helpful to the enemy (unstaggering)

And Limbus Company's own CEO set the events of Canto 9 up and sabotages the operation at points

[vagrant dove]

On a that more probable note, much like Ryoshu's ties to the house of spiders, the drenched gossypium represents a kind of parasitical relationship detrimental to the host (extracting blood to empower itself can be seen as something akin to the HOS turning Ryoshu into a weapon that burns her own memories+ Valencina attempting to use Ryoshu's abilities as a ticket to regain her place in the Thumb)

merelinque

The truth of the matter is that meursaults season 10 ego being Silent Girl would make thematic sense and go raw as fuck but the world genuinely isn't ready for meursault in a sundress

merelinque

Having thought about it. The chance it's his seasonal ego is near-none (generally original and more tailor-made abnos, plus we're expected to fight said seasonal abno in RR and that's (glances at keter realisation) not happening). But. In any other context like a walp it would be damn perfect. Just saying kjh dm me

merelinque

I'm just imagining people in like 2028 or something being like Aw fuck now I have to choose whether I want Mimicry or Remorse in meursaults Aleph slot

lohboh

your mind is so beautiful but also: sometimes the seasonal ego is a story abno (drifting fox & dream devouring siltcurrent). we're likely visiting N Corp who is known to be in possession of abnormalities including Nothing There (the corroded inquisitors from Canto 3 share its classification code), and if this parallel is unintentional I'll eat my h...

merelinque

ABSOLUTELY. I'm iffy on it being a seasonal specifically but I just know it's making it into the game one way or another in my beautiful world it's guaranteed

Yeah, no shit, if you don't eat iron-rich foods and aren't eating enough, you're going to have anemia

Even if overly harsh

Whereas Valencina just says shit cuz she's mad and a loser

[stoic fjord]

I feel like Valencina is very much a red meat, whiskey, and cigars kind of gal

Really on that bastard father grindset, including an awful diet

[stoic fjord]

I'm ngl I feel like all of the nursefathers probably ate like shit

Dihui Star maybe not
Or at least, unlike the other chucklefucks she was doing this to herself intentionally

[faint pivot]

Val is fucking herself over alongside Matthias
The Prescripts feed you too well
Calypso and Dihui is ????

[cosmic gorge]

Callisto*

Callisto doesnt eat

[faint pivot]

Oh I got it right the first time

Shouldn't have doubted myself earlier lmao

[cosmic gorge]

I assume callisto doesnt eat and lets the other nfs feed ryo

Probably tried to suggest she get rid of her needless stomach

[faint pivot]

Speaking of

I have two theories

One, that Ryo didn't cut Matthias directly like she did with Callisto during her escape

And two, that she avoided courting retribution from either of them because they're the only ones with enough reach to immediately Get Her if she doesn't kill them then & there

[cosmic gorge]

Physical reach or

[faint pivot]

Influence for the Middle, and technically yeah for the Ring

It's unclear what the HoS arrangement is to both us & Ryo other than all 5 benefit, but in her eyes, The Middle would be an ever-rising wall between her & her daughter so pissing The Whole Finger off wasn't an option when she left

Meanwhile the Ring have access to corridors, and since she's left the HoS she definitely knows how they can just pop up from nowhere and leave her with no rest

Oh, and incase anyone wants to engage, Thyme's not done with canto 9 yet

[atomic steeple]

Welp, gonna try road home and scaredy cat tonight. It's an interesting fight, I like the cute lil path. Currently using that rapid gashes general, maxim, a rhino, and lowell

Finished the final boss.but couldnt continue cuz it was late

Ill finish it tomorrow, properly

||QTE jumpscare||

[eternal berry]

I don't think any of the Fingers actually harming Ryoshu for the purposes of vengeance was ever in the cards. They wouldn't spoil their "concept incinerator" for doing a bit of damage to ultimately disposable people

[faint pivot]

Yeah but we only know that cause of the 2nd bit

[cosmic gorge]

Big Rick had no idea so ryo and co were fair game to him i think

[faint pivot]

Ryoshu wasn't aware of that smidgen of a detail when she left

I'm thinking of this from the perspective of someone who could permanently impair someone in a City where everything can be replaced trying to both flee and set up for a round 2

Val and Rien's cuts showed that these two were definitely on the menu for a slicing

Yet she only chose to break Callisto's Sarusword and Matthias'...something

[eternal berry]

I don't think Ryo cared about the potential consequences of her escape in that sense. And even if she didn't know the exact reasons the Nursefathers were shaping her into a sword, I do think she would understand that they're all has-beens who've been discarded by their host Fingers

[faint pivot]

She wouldn't have gone for Val's eye or ||Dihui's throat|| if that were the case

She understands that they're has-beens yea but they're still affiliated with their Finger

Matthias' book still syncs after all

[eternal berry]

I dunno, just from the fact that they never, you know, actually get any external support from the other Fingers except to complete the "project" it would've been obvious. It's not like she had to cut through dozens of underlings to escape from the House

[faint pivot]

See what purpose would they need external support for

They didn't need manpower at all for the project

[atomic steeple]

Arm. His arm

[faint pivot]

Its one failure point (Ryo leaving and disappearing out of reach) was one they fixed with incentive to not disappear

[faint pivot]

Oh what

[eternal berry]

Yeah, uh, Matthias is missing an arm courtesy of Ryoshu

He complains about not having a free hand for writing stuff down in the book which is kind of funny

Maybe that's why he uses kicks a lot

[faint pivot]

Oh that

Was chain

Goddamn I did NOT notice until now

[eternal berry]

His fighting style, outfit, and posture kind of hide it, but in some animations and sequences it's clear he's got no right arm

[faint pivot]

I guess this was the downside of experiencing the whole canto on my phone lmao

[cloud wadi]

Yeah he briefly mentions he’s missing an arm a few times

Since Matthias is a persona non grata I assume the Middle wouldn’t care about avenging him. Nobody wrote it down in the book anyways

It can only make sense that one would lose the will to fight.
However, no man can wholly shoulder another’s suffering in their stead.
Before we all are allured by its false compassion, someone has to break the statue.
Check: Who will be able to break this deceitful statue?

Fascinating look into it

Basically calling the idea of fully shouldering another's burden false compassion

And a contrast to dante, as commented in the observation

I HATE GREGOR SAMSA

-# ↩ 👤

wait i'm curious, what makes you say that gregor doesn't like everyone else (if i read that post right)? just curious since i've never seen anyone else say that

-# ↪

i don't necessarily think gregor _dislikes_​ everyone else at lcb but i do think that gregor is an incredibly petty person that isn't nearly as close to the rest of the sinners and even outright dislikes some of them cough cough rodya cough cough which a lot of people just Refuse to see because he's as much of a doormat as he is. there's several examples i could get into to try and prove my point however i'll just focus on what i personally think to be the biggest ones.

additionally, this is going to be kind of long, so i'm adding a read more. read more! read it. sorry for being so wordy. i have several diseases.

Pt1. gregor is the type to try and get along at least decently with everyone, especially if he gets a good first impression from them.

this is less a point in favor of gregor's distance w/ the rest of the sinners and more jus...

The "gregor is seething at everyone" theory

[cosmic gorge]

Jan 2025

Theres a good amount of new info that doesnt match with the theory

Greg is very capable of spite and resentment as shown in his mirror worlds, but ||his last words for Valencia who was actively torturing him physically and psychologically was to get away, just before his kaiser form brutally kills her||

[keen palm]

I also think it doesnt entail the mood of the fight itself

||Because I dont think Gregor would have held back against Heath and Rodya if he hated them||

[dusty sigil]

Ehhh, yah I think this post is to quick to label any moments of Gregor acting friendly with the other sinners as just him maintaining the doormat defense

[stoic fjord]

||I also don't think he'd instantly lose 90 sp from killing one of them if he didn't care. it's not like killing people is difficult for any of the sinners at this point, so...||

[dusty sigil]

He can have some resentments, he obviously does, but also he wouldn’t do and say a lot of the things he does and says if he’s just secretly seething the entire time and doesn’t actually have any camaraderie with the other sinners

[stoic fjord]

like, I think that entire fight just kind of discredits the theory, at least in the present day

[keen palm]

I mean i think its a fair read of a lot of Gregor but they go a bit too far with the characterization

[dusty sigil]

Yah

[cosmic gorge]

He can be a resentful mfer without being all face no positive connections

[dusty sigil]

He obviously has his little moments of showing resentment and he has a concerning large number of revenge focused IDs

[stoic fjord]

also maybe I'm just kinda dumb but I genuinely cannot think of any particular moment that I can read as him disliking Rodion the way they say it

[stoic fjord]

but also like. all of the sinners kind of have/had a lot going on

[dusty sigil]

But also it’s a bit to quick to assume everything he says that’s not resentful is just him doing his normal defense

[ebon forge]

firefist

[keen palm]

I do think being objective i cant recall him showing affection for Rodya ever

[stoic fjord]

also fair on that front

[keen palm]

The way Rodya does him

[stoic fjord]

it's fairly one-sided in that way

[dusty sigil]

Firefist, Priest, Hohenheim, it’s a concerning pattern

[cosmic gorge]

The worst i think is him having less affection for rodya than she has for him

[cloud wadi]

Gregor is kinda a self imposed outcast

[split beacon]

I think there very much is something to pointing out that Gregor has a lot of pent up resentment and kinda plays an aloof, emotionally detached role where he lets people think they’re closer to him than he really is

[cloud wadi]

I don’t really think he shows much affection to anyone

[stoic fjord]

yeah

[cloud wadi]

Doesn’t mean he has no affection

Just doesn’t tend to show it

[keen palm]

He does Yuri

[split beacon]

But it’s not hatred towards the bus team he’s just really really afraid of getting close to people and expresses it as this aloof detachment

[keen palm]

Noticeably he never gets Yuri's name wrong either

[split beacon]

Tbh, Gregor getting close to Yuri and then losing her in Canto I is like the priming for his arc

[stoic fjord]

I imagine that this would especially increase after Canto 1, seeing as he seems to close off even more from what I can see

[split beacon]

Yeah

[stoic fjord]

like he has not shown remotely as much outward care for someone since

[split beacon]

You see him get more withdrawn and afraid of connection to the people around him

And it rots his fucking brain too

[cosmic gorge]

Rodya and gregor have that "hiding how you really feel" vibe with them
Hes not honest about his opinions and feelings in a less overt way than happy go lucky party girl face rodya

[atomic steeple]

Yeah
He totally gets annoyed by her, but this is a stretch

[vagrant dove]

I think there's smth definitely there about Gregor being quite petty sometimes (see him symbolically refusing to share one of his cigarettes with the dead G Corp Manager) and being quite aloof from the rest of the Sinners

but I always read it as partly a fear of getting close to people because of the War

as well as a fear of himself because of the arm being sensitive to strong emotion

[dusty sigil]

Also like, genuinely it is crazy how people are theorizing like half of the sinners are secret traitors

[atomic steeple]

Gregor has a big thing with repressed emotions

[dusty sigil]

I’m seeing in that theory Gregor, Rodya and Sinclair will all betray us

Like come on there can’t be that many

[atomic steeple]

Everyone betrays the team at once

[cloud wadi]

Traitors is almost guaranteed to happen but little do they know the real traitor is the 13th

[cosmic gorge]

Outis as red herring

Honestly i think its gonna be Faust

Like

Her darkest hour

[cloud wadi]

Traitor is a confessor of some kind

[worthy haven]

damm maybe we are gretchen /s

[dusty sigil]

Famously there was only the one traitor of Jesus

[vagrant dove]

I think any betrayal is coming from the company rather than the LCB honestly

[cloud wadi]

So I think probably tracks to rodion the best

[atomic steeple]

Sinclair finally loses it about dante's prosthesis

[cloud wadi]

Because Sonya was inducing Rodion to confess in that one scene

[stoic fjord]

Dante with the clock and 12 followers and mirrored color scheme to Whitenight

Dante is jesus

[cosmic gorge]

Dante is many things

[cloud wadi]

And it will be for a good cause

[cosmic gorge]

Messianic and Luciferian

[stoic fjord]

my guess is that Outis like

0% chance she genuinely betrays us, from what we have seen

like idk I just feel like it's to the point where it's almost more of a bit and too obvious of a red herring

[ebon forge]

Outis is no. 012 like Judas

but that's probably to troll bible readers

a false traitor tho

[stoic fjord]

I don't know that I would expect Gregor to betray us, but I do think some fucky shit might happen with regards to the stuff we saw in canto 9

[atomic steeple]

Outis is too loyalty pilled and dante fan maxxer

[stoic fjord]

Rodion is like... we know very little about her

[stoic fjord]

even if not glazing she seems to genuinely appreciate Dante as a leader yeah

[cosmic gorge]

In terms of book synergy rodya isnt even that deep into rodion CaP's arc no

This is right after the murder of the tax man

[atomic steeple]

Hm arc where rodion and gregor are fighting and heathcliff plays mediator

[cosmic gorge]

heathcliff ♣️ to rodya ❤️ ♠️

[cloud wadi]

I don’t think she will betray us

But it’ll turn out that she did some real fucked up shit

Sin in levels unheard of

[stoic fjord]

Hrm

Is the uh

The "the later their canto, the worse their sin" thing canon

Or is that fan theory

[cloud wadi]

Fan theory

[atomic steeple]

The official birthday art has her holding a dante plushie

[split beacon]

it's a fantheory that's been holding up kinda OK so far

[atomic steeple]

She proudly presents it, and sleeps holding it

The tragicomic thing is she might legit think she's dante's best friend, without realizing how overbearing she is

[vagrant dove]

yeah

I think she's very very very used to military structures

after the War (type shit)

[dusty sigil]

Also chat, I just realized why Don wasn’t permitted to take off her shoes

Because Callisto still needed to be alive for the flow

Otherwise Sinclair wouldn’t have been pushed to manifesting his mark

[cosmic gorge]

Mmhmm

[stoic fjord]

I think that like

[cosmic gorge]

My working theory is that the reason why we got doubled down prosthetic hater shirou sinclair is exactly bc we were fighting callisto

The certain future called forth was one where his hate empowers him

[atomic steeple]

Sith master sinclair

[keen palm]

Outis wont betray us but I will say

[vagrant dove]

i think my favourite Outis Moment is that one intervallo comment she makes about having a second in command if something happens to the executive manager

[cosmic gorge]

Pretty bleak future really, the little swiss boy retains his worst self even with his hype moment and aura

[keen palm]

She is famously

The guy who sacrificed his entire crew for his goals and hubris

[vagrant dove]

i am 90% sure she did not mean to make it sound that fucking sinister lmao

[stoic fjord]

Faust is what Outis thinks she is

Dante's trusted advisor and kind of second in command

[cosmic gorge]

My other working theory is that Dante is outis' calypso

Some sort of safe yet entrapping haven for her actual goals

[unique bane]

[dusty sigil]

Yah I think people are a bit to caught up on her loyalty to Dante to remember she’s still shady as fuck for other reasons and based off fucking Odysseus

Famously, not the most trustworthy guy

Odysseus being a trickster is his main thing

That and wanting to go home to his family
