Project Moon Games: Lobcorp, Ruina, Etc.

[vagrant dove]

god this intervallo is so good

so much food

[main scaffold]

||I love how the entire countertop is completely cut up||

[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) ||ryoshu thats not octopus sausage
thats fucking
bacteriophage sausage||

[bronze zephyr]

just finished the intervallo!

[vagrant dove]

wait a godamn second

WAIT A GODAMN SECOND

[atomic steeple]

Oh dim shred outis spends up to 40 charge count but maxes out the damage boost at 30 charge
Ego just eats 10 charge for no effect except increasing your charge potency, which w outis doesn't care about after reaching 6

[vagrant dove]

there are some differences but

[stoic fjord]

the larp was bone-deep

it was all larp

[vagrant dove]

oh of course

||of course a fucking ring member has a whole row of critiques||

[vagrant dove]

larp to the bone

[fickle crown]

||We don't take kindly to your critique||

[vagrant dove]

this is a really funny skill combo to me

[fickle crown]

Pfff

But yeah, this is really just the spam defense skills phase

||Unfortunately with an Envy team this becomes spam S3s while she can only watch people rage at her shitty critiques||

[atomic steeple]

Imagine if bloodfeast was an unique charge

[keen palm]

It basically is

[atomic steeple]

Oh, meant in mechanics

It would lose the aspect of a shared pool to spend, though

[cosmic gorge]

Kk heath is also dressed like a kurokumo goon instead of a captain

Hes living a happy life as ishmael's hardy henchman

[stoic fjord]

he's also explicitly titled as a goon

[atomic steeple]

Actually, could keep it. Everyone is grabbing from the shared pool to top themselves off

[stoic fjord]

oh fuck Rien secret boss

I'm fried.

I'm so fried

[atomic steeple]

Anyway, this would make bloodfiends benefit from electric screaming meursault and other charge support

[dusty sigil]

He is a goon though

[vagrant dove]

very good timing

[dusty sigil]

He’s only a wakashu

[cosmic gorge]

No envy
Perfectly happy to be a goon

Source of free attacks too with my bleed team

[dusty sigil]

He’s really good

[atomic steeple]

Yeah

[dusty sigil]

My tits out king

[vagrant dove]

the Kurokumo clan rly is the bisexual dream

[dusty sigil]

I need Kurokumo Heathcliff and Ishmael to do terrible things to me

[vagrant dove]

truthnuke

[vagrant dove]

||also aw fuck, the memories reset||

my petty king

[cosmic gorge]

You know that the BL are the good guys and the KK are the bad guys because they follow old timey morality play logic (the bl are chastely covered up while the kk have their chests out)

[vagrant dove]

true

unfortunately my values vanish in the face of hot people

(/j)

[stoic fjord]

yeah okay Meursault could genuinely be a good Ring member

he just prioritizes instructions WAYYYY too much

like bro was cooking for a second and had a spark of inspiration from his brief "mistake" and then went "it's not in the manual. removing."

[neat cedar]

He does not allow himself the option of subjectivity

[neat cedar]

man did not watch Bob ross and it shows

s m h

[stoic fjord]

LOCK IN BRO YOU COULD BE A DOCENT TOO IF YOU SAID "FUCK THE MANUAL"

[vagrant dove]

okay i am finished

very good intervallo

[fickle crown]

Sometimes I feel that...

[vagrant dove]

we're going to ||N-Corp|| now, wonderful

[fickle crown]

||We already went to N-Corp in the intervallo haha||

[vagrant dove]

||yes, but officially||

||we're heading off there||

[dusty sigil]

Yah this guy ain’t going past student

Like I thought

Technical perfection

But no soul to his art

[fickle crown]

Imo Meursault would do the best either in the Thumb or the Pinky

Which technically did happen

But yea

[dusty sigil]

Unfortunately even there Meursault chaffes against the thumb

Even in his position of power

[atomic steeple]

The fact we're going there got announced for the second intervallo a while ago

[dusty sigil]

There’s no organization in the city where Meursault can truly thrive

[vagrant dove]

I know, I'm just very scared for the Teams wellbeing

||also we have kira tagging along||

||my goat||

[stoic fjord]

I wonder if perhaps he's a metaphor for something

[dusty sigil]

Nah

Project moon doesn’t use metaphors

They are neutral on these things

[atomic steeple]

The start of next intervallo is just straight up borderlands shenanigans as canned experience junkie want to harvest the team

[vagrant dove]

Allegory? In my videogames?

Wokist nonsense

(/j, obviously)

[vagrant dove]

I think there's something just- viscerally uncomfortable about commidifying human experiences

Of course we do it in the modern world

Which has it's own Implications

But the extent to which N-Corp does it is eurgh

[tired canyon]

uh

any tips for beating matthias and kira

on md60

[mystic ermine]

The Unopposed Matthias experience

[vagrant dove]

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-gif-24903806

[atomic steeple]

Viewing fauvist rodya in battle: Careful. You're undressing the artwork with your eyes.

[tired canyon]

like

[mystic ermine]

goodness, everybody except Yi Sang and Faust died

[stoic fjord]

WHAT

[stoic fjord]

Dante hits another <Kill them all.>

[fickle crown]

Yeah just clash the red coins and pray

Unbreakables take priority over counter coins

[vagrant dove]

they're getting way too comfortable saying that as well

[stoic fjord]

hrm

I wonder if like

them being super comfortable just

giving extermination orders

and using powers they know nothing about

[vagrant dove]

i do wonder if it is the old self leaking through

[stoic fjord]

is the old Dante coming th-

YEAH

[worthy haven]

kill em all :3

[fickle crown]

That line is so biting them in the ass in Canto 11

[vagrant dove]

like I think with how PM games usually do themes around violence

they're setting Dante up for a fall

[stoic fjord]

it's funny in the moment but also Dante's said <Kill them all.> with increasing frequency and flippancy

[fickle crown]

I think that fall will come around at canto 11

[mystic ermine]

goodness

[fickle crown]

Like

[stoic fjord]

it's the solution to all problems that involve bodies coming their way

[fickle crown]

We're given a massive flag for it with Outis

[worthy haven]

md moment

[stoic fjord]

fauvists, proselytes, whatever

[vagrant dove]

i reiterate: i am so fucking scared

[fickle crown]

Yi Sang must be pregnant because he's delivering

[stoic fjord]

either Dante is going to hand the Index a massive L or they're going to be handed a massive L by the will of the city

[stoic fjord]

Faust is the father

[vagrant dove]

TRUE

[atomic steeple]

Dante giving violent orders flippantly and meursault following most orders without question

[worthy haven]

I really wanna see ||blaure reiter rings now. Also the one that have like spatial manipulation shit||

[atomic steeple]

Hm
We are getting something bad either in canto 10 or canto 11

[fickle crown]

Ngl I feel like the corridor makes the Ring scarier. They're the actual boogeymen your parents tell you about

[atomic steeple]

From this violence

Meursault: Manager, forgive the comment, but you are too comfortable ordering people's deaths now

[fickle crown]

I think it'll be Canto 10 as buildup to this subplot while Canto 11 is where we find out

[stoic fjord]

dante keeps hitting the <Kill them all.>

[fickle crown]

Dante keeps hitting that win rate button

[atomic steeple]

Dante realizes they orderdered deaths too rashly, which aggroes some community of people in the canto AND feeds corpses to the Trojan horse, which lurks over the canto before finally revealing itself

As an incarnation of the trauma of warfare

[stoic fjord]

see I think 11 as well because of the possible index involvement and how the looms and the will of the city are alleged to work through the culmination of all of what happens in the city

oh also The War

[vagrant dove]

still manifesting 4th Front Outis

god the Themes

[stoic fjord]

what's 4th front

[atomic steeple]

abno

[fickle crown]

Iirc that's the potential MoSB aberration?

[atomic steeple]

bunch of soldier corpses strung together byr wires

[fickle crown]

It's a collection of bodies in a snake-like form wrapped in barbed wire

[worthy haven]

its an abno barbed wire like corpse snake born from the smoke war

[stoic fjord]

ohhhh yeah

[atomic steeple]

It is explicitly described as trauma of the war

that binds people of both sides

in suffering

[worthy haven]

also I am so excited to potentially learn more about old old L

[vagrant dove]

this one

[worthy haven]

esp Smoke

[fickle crown]

Ngl that's gotta be an MoSB aberration

[atomic steeple]

And doesn't that really remind ya of the trojan horse being made of corpses and a structure?

[vagrant dove]

what were you doing outis

i swear if we see a benjamin cameo in canto 11 btw

[atomic steeple]

So I am thinking outis did some horrific monstrosity made of POWs and wounded allies

And won the war with it

[fickle crown]

Or maybe she only won a part of the war with it

[worthy haven]

I do really wonder if the barbed wire is the product of a wing singularity cause it keeps showing up. Like yea it was a trench war but with the level of arms that the city has I am suprised it was still deployed to this effect and so many things have that motif aswell

[fickle crown]

I can't imagine Outis was solely responsible for the victory

[atomic steeple]

And I corp wants to avoid all association with the atrocity, so they banned all soldiers from the nest

[fickle crown]

Just one absolutely horrific thing

To help aid in it

Victory at all costs

[worthy haven]

tbf we dont actually know yet if outis is I corp

or just I corp hired

or not I at all

[vagrant dove]

wouldn't surprise me if actual living barbed wire existed in the city

[worthy haven]

ye

[stoic fjord]

Outis being almost solely responsible for the suffering of some millions of her former comrades would be a fire plot point I think

[cosmic gorge]

Evil cenobite art freaks who live in the Backrooms and will kidnap you through your closet

[worthy haven]

a thought i had is that ||the horse might have been build with the help of the index via the gods aka prescripts to win the war and so in turn pave the way for lobotomy corp to bloom. That sounds like a goal the Prescripts would enjoy....||

[fickle crown]

I think her line on the odyssey also implies that Outis also subconsciously thinks the war never ended

She's never going home because what she did is unforgivable

[atomic steeple]

She is trapped in the wire with everyone

She stands atop a pile of bodies she hasn't climbed down from yet

[fickle crown]

Also I do wish that we could get post-canto enhancements for the base IDs

[worthy haven]

one day

[atomic steeple]

suddenly

[worthy haven]

Faust base ID still has the wrong sinner number and also that spelling version of Walpurgisnacht

like horrifically so

[stoic fjord]

purgatorio trust

[worthy haven]

like PJM what is this 😭

why is the phonetic spelling on her Zweihänder

[fickle crown]

I think To Pathos Mathos is also interesting given the line roughly translates to "Suffering becomes experience"

Whatever Outis did probably scarred her more than Gregor

[atomic steeple]

Man, greg's stress from finsing out what outis did is gonna make him go through multiple layers

[worthy haven]

so many people do be concerned about 😌

and even like hong lu apparently has something wrong with him

[vagrant dove]

I'm so concerned about the next three sinners

like

[fickle crown]

Hong Lu when suddenly one day, his depth perception disappeared

[vagrant dove]

especially Meursault

[worthy haven]

I am so worried about Faust mainly because we still have not heard a peep yet from Mephistopheles

[fickle crown]

Ngl Meursault has always struck me as being a little self contradictory in nature and I think that's going to play into his feelings on people as a whole

[worthy haven]

or Gretchen

[fickle crown]

Because people are hard to understand and he doesn't even understand himself for that matter

I think that's why he's always so rigid

Idk

The only thing he can do is dance around or reason out the issue at hand to the best of his ability

[worthy haven]

flash thought! ||I wonder if Gretchen will be a Faust that our Faust might have had a kinship due to her individual nature or something and she was executed by the Gesellschaft. cause so far it seem to me that the admin faust themselves are all characters from Faust the Book so gretchen might also be||

[atomic steeple]

||Selfcest||

[stoic fjord]

yuri between mirror selves...

[atomic steeple]

||Faust x Faust||

[worthy haven]

I think its a possibilty

||seeing as how we got like possible helen of troy faust||

[atomic steeple]

Another thing for faust to relate to yi sang about

||Being into their alternates||

[worthy haven]

||and ye all the admins appear to be characters from Faust Part 2 so far so why not gretchen faust aswell||

[fickle crown]

Ngl I feel like everyone connected to the mirror is a bit of a freak like that

Also it's actually kinda funny how the mirror seems to always have some form of love attached to it in some way

||Every Catherine and the Erlking, Kromer, and Yi Sang...||

[gentle mulch]

sayonara you little shit

[stoic fjord]

...huh.

[fickle crown]

Idk if it's coincidence or not given PM likes to play the long game

[mystic ermine]

hjlemp me

[stoic fjord]

you're on your own bud

[vagrant dove]

114???

Jesus christ

[fickle crown]

I'm not gonna lie, you're fucked

[vagrant dove]

These the type of rolls we gonna see in the main story when an arbiter pulls up

[faint pivot]

Pretty sure ||his newfound bump was from Dante using Malkuth. After the first summoning, everyone had complaints of flopping to the ground. Poor Rodya lost 3 cakes to it!||

[fickle crown]

||Also idk why but it is kinda funny thinking back to what Kira said and realizing none of the apprentices probably wanted to be around Valencina||

[worthy haven]

maybe? ||it felt to like focused on tho for me to super believe that I think altough it might just be that ye||

i could def be overthinking!

[fickle crown]

||Like imo, you know it's bad when even Kira reads the room and figures out it's an awful idea to even try bringing anything up to Valencina||

[mystic ermine]

I saw you bleed.

[cosmic gorge]

||albina faust x kromer faust toxic yuri||

[faint pivot]

I'm surprised ||he didn't burn down the whole school with it!||

[fickle crown]

||Because it wasn't unsealed all the way||

||All it did was leave a rather large scorch mark||

[mystic ermine]

Ah fuck

I WON

RHAAAAAAAA

[tired canyon]

still on matthias and kira btw

[mystic ermine]

Yo.

[fickle crown]

Lunacy

[faint pivot]

Why did Riensang turn down infinite lunacy? Is he stupid?

[mystic ermine]

good luuuck

[faint pivot]

I'm confused, does Kira actually have a bowl cut?

Like is that what her hair style is called?

[split beacon]

Yes

[fickle crown]

Yep

It's literally a cut where you stick a bowl on someone's head and cut off the excess

[faint pivot]

Huh, I guess there's more variety to this than I thought

[split beacon]

you could more generously describe it as a bob

[main scaffold]

It doesn’t look like a normal bowl cut (which is to say it actually looks good)

[fickle crown]

Yes it's kind of a stereotypical Asian cut

[faint pivot]

Yeah but like I'm flicking between Vespa and Kira and I'm like, huh?

[fickle crown]

I think it was more of a dig at her dad tbh

[split beacon]

Kira has bangs, there's some styling

[fickle crown]

Like Kira's hair is just short

[split beacon]

generally, the true, classic bowl cut has no bangs

like Vespa

[fickle crown]

It's also possible she did have a bowl cut but just styled her hair herself after growing it out some but it was stated she went to a certain salon

[split beacon]

yeah most likely that one hair salon fixed her up after Matthias gave her an absolutely dogshit hairstyle

[fickle crown]

It's still funny thinking about Kiramael having to be dragged off kicking and screaming to get the bowl cut of shame

Like

Genuinely the only short haired Ishmael I think

[faint pivot]

OH RIGHT

I guess Kira grew hers out during recovery

[fickle crown]

Nah, it's the same with her hooded sprite too

[faint pivot]

Cause that is 100% a bowl cut

[split beacon]

nah she has the same hairstyle prior to being captured

[faint pivot]

Que

[worthy haven]

man i lvoe this intervallo

the only thing i dislike is the fodder

[fickle crown]

Yeahhh

Not a lot of fodder enemies tbh

[faint pivot]

Oh, true

[cosmic gorge]

shouldve had more varied fauvist enemie

s

[faint pivot]

I enjoy the Fauvists and Proselytes

[fickle crown]

Also generally wishing we got the bird one as a third Fauvist ID...

[split beacon]

and then suddenly, The Fauvists Appeared

[worthy haven]

also the implemntation minus the boss was a bit meh

[worthy haven]

I do aswell

but like

they didnt do really a lot or talk etc

[cosmic gorge]

genuine random encounters

[worthy haven]

jsut "here i am"

[fickle crown]

I think it's just the issue of fighting most of the same

[faint pivot]

Which one?

[worthy haven]

and have a line of dialogue

[fickle crown]

The

The one with bird wings

[cosmic gorge]

Zwei ishmael in the zwei faust uptie has the same fit

[faint pivot]

Oh you meant the Students

[fickle crown]

Yea

[faint pivot]

I wouldn't be surprised if we got that for the bokgak

Since well

Not much else is there

[fickle crown]

Also I feel like 00s are still kinda wasted in this scenario...

Like

Meursault would've fit fine in that tier as a student

Man I just don't like grinding for threadddd

I do sort of wish that PM could demote a couple of the IDs but I know that won't happen

Unfortunate that they're the same amount of work for less payoff though

Because it would be fun getting to run a modern budget team if we still had 00 IDs in this day and age

[cosmic gorge]

we couldve had 00 thumbclair and a buncha fodder canto 8 bozos as 00s

[fickle crown]

Ngl like

[faint pivot]

I mean we wouldn't

Cause like

[fickle crown]

Slash 60% of the Heishou and make them 00 IDs

[faint pivot]

Again, same effort for less payoff

Just cause PMoon's gonna bring back 00s doesn't mean we get more IDs, they still have the same number of man hours to work with

Also I'd take no 00s + less EGOs if it meant better quality overall

[fickle crown]

I've honestly been missing the times where I could have access to a few up to date fodder units tbh

[split beacon]

wait are 00s coming back or is this a hypothetical

[fickle crown]

Nah, hypothetical

[faint pivot]

Hypothetical

[fickle crown]

But like... Fodder play would be fun tbh

[faint pivot]

It is

[fickle crown]

Idk, wishful thinking but yea

[faint pivot]

I agree

But like

We already have fodder play?

Look at the sac teams

[fickle crown]

Yeah

[faint pivot]

The insane quadro status team

I do agree

That thread is pain

But 00s coming back feels like a bandaid solution to that

[fickle crown]

TLA team all 15 floors

Technically it works for Rupture keywords

[faint pivot]

Featuring Thoracaglia Ryoshu and our one and only Fell Bullet Yi Sang

[faint pivot]

I know, it's still funny to me though

Meursault, Rodya, and Gregor being turned into particle accelrators for the hell of it

https://www.youtube.com/live/Te-2BOXYnuQ?si=YU6nj5xVlIlrH3Yq

[fickle crown]

I do sorta hope we get more chainsaw styled weapons

[faint pivot]

Intervallo spoilers, ofc

[faint pivot]

I feel like

Gut feeling but

N-Corp would enjoy these?

For the additional experience on both sides?

[fickle crown]

I think they all prefer hammers and nails tbh

[faint pivot]

Tis conjecture but I wanna imagine their higher tech side

[fickle crown]

Given they're apparently used to extract experiences

[faint pivot]

That seems a bit lame

Que

Where are they stored?

[fickle crown]

Iirc it was noted in N-Corp Meursault's story

Oh wait no

I know it was somewhere though

Oh

It's Heathcliff's story

There's definitely something up with the nails

[fickle crown]

But yeah, here you go

[fickle crown]

Also it is, but also branding

They're literally called Nagel und Hammer

[faint pivot]

I mean true but Lobotomy Corporation didn't use surgical tools for its main combatants

[faint pivot]

I feel like this isn't all there is

But I've nothing else to base my conjecture off of

[fickle crown]

Tbf that's because Lobotomy Corp was kind of already doing that by pulling bits of the pysche out and making it something you can kill someone with

You are in some capacity still pulling things out of someone's head with EGO

[faint pivot]

While fair, I would much quicker associate LobCorp agents with "mass death" than surgery as their name implies

[fickle crown]

Also y'know...

The name works a little too well when you remember how Ayin was getting info out of people

[faint pivot]

Yeah but that's not exactly unique to LC

[fickle crown]

Yea

Ayin is just a freak like that

[faint pivot]

True

I wonder

[fickle crown]

I wouldn't be surprised though if Lobotomy Corp was Ayin's idea for the wing's name

[faint pivot]

If he was aware that the AI ban was so old

[faint pivot]

I can't see anyone else in a high enough position of power that is also deranged enough to accept that so 100%

Ben at this point couldn't have branded his work anything less than perfect so it def ain't him

Carmen was in the ground at this point (one way or another)

[stoic fjord]

isn't that a Maestro

[fickle crown]

No?

[faint pivot]

Tis a Student

[stoic fjord]

ohhhh wait these guys

[fickle crown]

I will admit, the wing arms are actually really neat

[stoic fjord]

not the maestro okay makes sense

maybe I'm misremebering her mask

[fickle crown]

Her mask was a wendigo looking thing

||Previously a wolf according to Ryoshu||

[stoic fjord]

ohhhhhhhh

[faint pivot]

Oops

Forgot to spoiler

[stoic fjord]

okay it looks beak-like you can't fault me I played it at like 12 am the first time

[dusty sigil]

They should release a middle member who’s counter is wrath but has all envy skills anyway

[split beacon]

good lord

[dusty sigil]

Envy skill 1, 2 and 3

[fickle crown]

I feel like that wouldn't work due to balance

[dusty sigil]

Probably not no

But it’d be very funny

[faint pivot]

DQ with a Pride s3

Look inside

It's Envy

[dusty sigil]

Legitimately I think it’d be neat if, like color fixers, the heads of the fingers have exclusively the sin their finger is associated with

[faint pivot]

Is that one of the only skills that change sins?

[dusty sigil]

Like the leader of the middle has all envy skills, the thumb all wrath and the ring all lust

[faint pivot]

What's the Index's?

[dusty sigil]

Gloom

[faint pivot]

Cause it's a toss-up between Sloth and Gloom in my mind

Actually wait

Who'd we be fighting for the Index's

[fickle crown]

Sloth gluttony and gloom

Or pride sloth and gloom

[faint pivot]

A Messenger? A Weaver?

[dusty sigil]

Every index ID shares a gloom skin but they don’t all have gluttony and and sloth

Specifically a gloom skill 3

[stoic fjord]

the metaphysical idea of the gods of the city itself

[dusty sigil]

Though they also all have pride

But that’s only their skill 2

So it’s less important

[fickle crown]

Sloth is shown across the proselytes so I think that at least says something

[stoic fjord]

they also just feel pretty slothful by vibe

[dusty sigil]

I mean yah but they also have a gloomful vibe

That’s not the right word but you get me

[cosmic gorge]

submission to the flow of things

lowercase flow

f not F

[dusty sigil]

Gloom is described as not only sadness but also a willingness to pull others down to your level

[stoic fjord]

true

[cosmic gorge]

i imagine gloom as more giving in to your worst self

[dusty sigil]

Misery begets company and the index’s main goal is to literally spread their God’s will

[fickle crown]

Imo Gloom also partially represents submission

Not in the sense of doing nothing, but just giving up

[dusty sigil]

Gloom is also associated with accepting helplessness rather then struggling

Yah

The pinky are probably gluttony

[fickle crown]

Pinky is Gluttony/Pride/Envy

[cosmic gorge]

as opposed to sloth, which is actively not moving right

[dusty sigil]

All of their members have it and so far the main characterization for these members is a wanting to see and learn all they can

[fickle crown]

Sloth is the inability to move or move on, yeah

[dusty sigil]

Sloth is acceptance of the state of things

[fickle crown]

It can also be described as being steadfast in a more positive light

For better or for worse

Or stubbornness

[dusty sigil]

Yah

[cosmic gorge]

the sad polish horse from the collab fits the negative version of this yea

and his niece the positive

(steadfast set in their ways vs steadfast in retaining their honor)

[fickle crown]

It's also why Yi Sang is sloth associated

Given he's been unable to truly move past the breakup of the polycule League of Nine

[dusty sigil]

Yet where lies the green, its placement so rightful upon the mountains? A glacial cold permeates a corner of heart mine.

Rocks are mired in the grasps of the red thing still.

Unchanged are its motions, swinging and lashing the rocks with abandon—or casting them far away.

Yet, the head that had once wavered so is visible no more.

Nay, the stone is now rooted steadfast into the earth, and the rotund sphere has transfigurated into a deltoidal triangle;

an accurate assessment would state as such—while the head remains still, the wavering has ceased.

What stable form, what stalwart balance it has attained.

Indeed, at the edge of change was evolution found for this entity.

Yet even evolution is no deliverance from torpidity.

The entity’s tranquility, a consequence of electing immobility with stability, is no assiduity at all.

I know not what movement shall it take at the end’s end.

Should its motions cease, so too shall it suspend its sentience.

When, in the end, all comes to cease, it cannot be said any longer that it lives.

How unideal, how odd.

Such is all I have to say.```

Yi Sang describes the sloth peccatula as changing so it can never change again

Becoming more and more rooted in the earth as it evolves

[fickle crown]

I think it's also funny how he just says how it's unideal

Just casually saying he doesn't like it

[dusty sigil]

He’s not a fan of sloth anymore

[fickle crown]

Tbf you don't have to like being slothful or indulge in the sin

[cosmic gorge]

[dusty sigil]

I mean yah but this is written after his character development in canto 4

Where he longer wishes to resign himself and live in the past

[fickle crown]

I think this gif is broken

[cosmic gorge]

its playing on me end

[fickle crown]

Oh there we go

[fickle crown]

Nah, even with his log on the class 1 version he's kinda shown to not like it

It resembled a rock.
I am uncertain how an object of its mass is able to move. Its appearance could not be any less adherent to laws of science, but when I look back, it might have been an inherently scientific object after all.
It would levitate in the air and stay still.
It rolled its eyeball lodged in the center. And when it felt like it, it would ram into some persons.
I am not yet sure what motivates it to move. Even so, I wonder if it's necessary to learn its reasons at all.
It's possible that this pebble is alive.
No one would call it an organism, but by the same token, I may not be alive if no one refers to me as such.
Perhaps it was simply a matter of laziness.
We were lazy to think that it mustn't be what it thought to be.
That pebble is probably a lazy living being.
And the same could be said of me.

That last line is absolutely filled with self hatred

[dusty sigil]

Ah yah

Also I just scrolled down to the gloom pecatula

It’s really funny how each one of their observation logs ends with Meursault saying “these memories of the past are unpleasant”

[fickle crown]

Meursault probably got taken back to his mother's funeral

||It's also interesting how in the intervallo he's the one giving advice on how to grieve||

[dusty sigil]

Yah

God, I need next intervallo already

[cosmic gorge]

i need Rufo's voice

[dusty sigil]

I want to finally crack open the skull of that Frenchman and pick at his brain

I really do wanna know how Meursault is gonna take center stage

Because he’s the only sinner which has not once, had an entire canto or intervallo focused on him

We’ve never had him be in the forefront of a story

It’s hard to imagine a canto where he has a major speaking role

[fickle crown]

The answer is awkwardly and with little grace

Meursault is a person that definitely does not do well when stress is added to the equation

[dusty sigil]

I mean, do we know that really?

We’ve never actually seen him be stressed

[fickle crown]

I think his intro trailer does a good job of showing what an anxious Meursault is like

[dusty sigil]

And now even with him knowing we’re going to N Corp and it’s his turn next, he’s just as unfazed as ever

[fickle crown]

He damn-near rambles while pointing out very specific things in a rapid voice

I think he does at the very least speak in a rapid voice whenever he is having an adverse reaction to something

Like Don's horrendous cooking

But yeah, he strikes me as the kind of person that cracks internally over the much more obvious stress we see from the other sinners

Occasionally noting something is unpleasant or how he wouldn't enjoy doing x or y whenever he does feel the need to actually protest

[faint pivot]

And Yi Sang's

[fickle crown]

Yi Sang didn't even do anything

/j

[faint pivot]

Brother really got his name used both in vain and against him several times in quick succession

[fickle crown]

Tbh I think that was the most we've ever seen Meursault express his dislike for someone

But yeah, imo Meursault's EGOs largely point to him bottling a lot of his stress up and repressing himself

[stoic fjord]

I feel like that's moreso him keeping the mask he always does on, especially since it's not like he's being directly faced with N Corp itself yet

I imagine his stoicism will degrade over the course of the canto, perhaps even just over the first act

[fickle crown]

||Oh yeah, this is an interesting little thing about Rufo, but in her first phase she actually matches her slots to however many sinners you have when critiquing||

[tired canyon]

took a while

and literally every sinner i have

[faint pivot]

Holy windowed mode

[fickle crown]

Congrats!

[quaint cliff]

I think that’s the point. They’re all target fixed, each targeting a different sinner.

[fickle crown]

You made it!

[quaint cliff]

And at 1 speed so anyone can clash it.

You’re supposed to clash everything you can and defend with the ones who have the paint

[fickle crown]

Actually no, only the assigned sinner can clash her critique

I think

[faint pivot]

She didn't need to be at speed 1 cause if a skill's pointed at you, you can clash it

[quaint cliff]

The phase where she breaks out all the gloom skills?

[fickle crown]

Yep

[faint pivot]

It's Target Fixed yeah

[fickle crown]

You can also just defend anyways if you're an idiot like me and run middle IDs

[quaint cliff]

Ah yeah that’s right. I forgot you can still clash even if they’re faster than you for some reason

[fickle crown]

In which case they don't take kindly to the Critique and bash her brains out

[faint pivot]

In her second phase she seemingly drops the 1/sinner Critique cause my staggered CAR took 2 to her face and the rest with her death, allowing me to take a win

[fickle crown]

Yeah

[quaint cliff]

Chapter 4, Section 7, Subtitle 7, Subsection 3a: Critiquing the creative endeavors of a member of the Middle.

Punishment:

Decapitation via swirly.

[fickle crown]

But yeah, I should run this with Middle Don in my team instead of Madonka

I think it'll work better

Also idk if this is some sort of weird technicality or what

But I don't think she gets the extra clash power when hitting a clashable counter?

Either that or I just got lucky and she rolled like shit

[cosmic gorge]

and then she fucking targets one of my poor sinners whose staggered

darn, a lot of rodya for me to fill this season
(planning to level up princess for the envy res team, shard ring rodya eventually, and ofc valenciarodyon

[fickle crown]

Ngl I'm still surprised the "envy" team worked as well as it did

I do have a fully levelled Middle Don now so at least there's that too

[tired canyon]

gregor

just dealt 26k with unbrilliant

[uneven canopy]

yea it happens

[main scaffold]

The arknights EGO are pretty cracked

[tired canyon]

and with that

md60 beat

[uneven canopy]

that horse is cracked and no one will ever get it again

[main scaffold]

(Except command meltdown, it's meh)

[tired canyon]

and it has the AUDACITY

OF COMPETING WITH FLUID SACK

[main scaffold]

(Project moon I am begging you to either never do a time limited crossover event ever again or to tell us about it a year in advance)

[karmic escarp]

chad meltdown actually being able to clash vs the virgin fluid rolling a 24 even at floor 15

and they did. the AK crossover was a known factor for like 6+ months

[main scaffold]

Hell yeah

[tired canyon]

btw whats the best way to farm event

just

final dungeon:

[karmic escarp]

usually if you want it fast
if you want to simulfarm boxes you do MD

[main scaffold]

MD gives you a lot if you do the intervallo dungeon (and have the ring IDs)

[bronze zephyr]

yeah i run all ring (minus rodya cuz no have) and MD pack so

[karmic escarp]

||(all my hair falls out and i start coughing up blood) im fine.||

||and even after all this he still tries to downplay what he went through to hong lu (who tells him 'hey we dont need to powerscale our traumas') oooooh everyone i dont think ill make it after all||

[tired canyon]

god i

cant remember how i beat ||wolf lady||

[gentle mulch]

this intervallo is hilarious and just downright sad

[karmic escarp]

||MY GREGORRRRR||

[humble orbit]

huge fan of kira's announcer shes so

[faint pivot]

She is in fact undescribable

I love this blorbo

I really hope

She and Hohenheim are transferred to the LCD or something

And Allysa

Cause like I do not trust our Generous Benefactor to never pull a Spider Pyre again

[humble orbit]

yeeahhhhh

dias on high grade shenanigans i wont lie

[cosmic gorge]

none of our LCE blorbos are off the hook as long as theyre employed in limbus

moses maybe, hohenheim probably

but everyone else

[faint pivot]

I'd give Moses a probably and Hohenheim a maybe

Pal was the 2nd closest to dying permanently

[cosmic gorge]

i mean off the hook from Spider Pyre shenanigans
or specifically, Dias Bullshit

where she does some insider fuckery to cause things to happen

she might not do stuff thatll harm moses permanetly, hohenheim is too useful (to the point he used it as leverage for him going crossbow angst survivor on callisto)
but the others dont have that cushion

[faint pivot]

Ahhh

True

Twining Threads spoilers ||https://youtu.be/GMRdN4EhTgE?si=RtrE-iLLFUmi0XKU||

Tis merely music but I wouldn't dare steal the experience of hearing the OG play out mid-fight from someone

[faint pivot]

Boutta return to the facility, wish me luck on my first Atziluth suppression folks

[main scaffold]

I love how much of Fauvist Meursault's uptie story is him going "this would make for better art, but the instructions I was given prevent me from doing it. Unfortunate."

[bronze zephyr]

no yeah im a big fan of his ut story

[faint pivot]

Breathes in

hokma deez nuts

I am

So tired

Personally

Chesed and Tiphereth?

Fuck you two

So far their C.S. is the only ones I've lost agents to

Ignore that they also oh so coincidentally manage my favorite floors on the library

[faint pivot]

Make that singular, and "only ones I've moved on from after having lost agents to"

[faint pivot]

Credit goes where credit's due though - rolling The God Delusion multiple times vs. Tiph was what got me this screenie

<Here lies an image I forgot to spoiler>

Yeah guess what old geezer

We're gonna goddamn TRY ANYWAY

...I forgot to spoiler that

[faint pivot]

I got so fucking lucky this C.S., oml

[hybrid lynx]

hey i just realized

[hybrid lynx]

||that's the white night clock in the background there isnt it||

[faint pivot]

Yep

It's just chilling

There's two by the way

And a little one right in front of the 2nd

[atomic steeple]

Majima style encounters

[atomic steeple]

This is the most rules obsessed meursault yet

[faint pivot]

Say

(LobCorp, Atziluth layer) Which Singularity does ||Hokma use to restore our employees?||

He says he has ||the original employees "in slumber", though whether that's a metaphor or if he's killed every employee before they're hired, I'm not sure||

[cosmic gorge]

canto 9 spoiler
@atomic steeple what sayeth you

[karmic escarp]

||iirc it's folded into the Tcorp thing keeping everyone on the loop but i dont really remember||

[faint pivot]

I thought the same but as I was going through his dialogue again I was hung up on how ||he brought back Anastasia, an employee who dies in one of the abnormality stories, without TT2||

Then I realized that he's also behind the ||employee hiring system after he mentioned tweaking people's Virtues||

[faint pivot]

Okay it's not explicitly ||without TT2 but, the day doesn't restart, he does this midday||

[karmic escarp]

||could it be a secondary function? like theres the one that does over the whole day but also a different 'mode' that lets you do more localized stuff?||

[faint pivot]

||I feel like breaching abnormalities wouldn't be a cause of concern at all if something like that existed||

||Perhaps it does, and Hokma's conditioning prevents him from doing much else than that, but the "hiring" system feels an awful lot like the two revival Singularities we know of - W, and R||

...ah, granted, I don't think either lets you ||tweak who comes out||

||W wouldn't have much trouble keeping its trains defended otherwise, and R's Hatchery likely wouldn't need its deathmatches||

[dusty sigil]

Hmm, I think for my bleed team I’m gonna do ring, but drop ring Outis and include Kurokumo Heathmael

Outis is just kinda whatever and the Kurokumo duo have just so many benefits

[gentle mulch]

monostatus bleed gave me an easier time than triple status

...maybe it's time i play around faction teams instead of status teams

i see the vision KJH

[dusty sigil]

Easy access to lust resonance with their defense skills, so many slash power up and vulnerabilities for Hong Lu and Faust, a shit ton of debuffs for Ring Sang

[gentle mulch]

yeah that's p much what i have

sanguine Desire is no longer a must have because of Count Faustula

[dusty sigil]

I also wanna grab the remaining bloodfiend IDs because I’m only missing priest and princess but I’ll do that later

Since none of them are on a timer anymore like ring Hong Lu and Faust are

[atomic steeple]

Holy shit didn't catch that
Obviously she is ||trans like xion from kingdom hearts||

[cosmic gorge]

Sora already looks like fem okarun

[dusty sigil]

Someone mentioned it on Twitter but wayfarer Corp may be inspired by backrooms stuff

With their hazmat uniforms, their focus on exploring weird liminal dimensions outside of normal space, and extremely high casualty rate

[stoic fjord]

"May be"

Gang have we seen them. These mfs are just the backrooms

[dusty sigil]

Okay yah but it’s not like I can read KJH’s mind

[stoic fjord]

Also the horrific monsters beyond human comprehension hiding in the endless corridors

[stoic fjord]

True

[atomic steeple]

Even the ring doesn't lose that many people in the corridors

[dusty sigil]

Yah

[stoic fjord]

They're probably far more familiar

[atomic steeple]

Granted, they seem to be planning on mass use

[dusty sigil]

Well they’ve been using them for probably centuries at this point

They have them mapped out

[atomic steeple]

Than the personal use of ring members

[stoic fjord]

Wayfarer is getting into them and also exploring them in-depth without and prior knowledge

[dusty sigil]

Also man I hope when we see actual combatants from wayfarer they look cooler because while W Corp is in universe failing hard

Their employees look so much cooler then wayfarer so far

[stoic fjord]

I need to know more about Wayfarer

Like

If some random recon leader can do some weird-ass paracausal punch

What do their combat units do.... and please can they look super cool

[dusty sigil]

Yah

I wonder what their gimmick will be gameplay wise too

They’ll definitely be charge if they’re inheriting W corp’s place

But W Corp is also charge rupture so what will their other statuses be?

Tremor maybe?

[atomic steeple]

When are we gonna see a bio chainsaw fauvist

[atomic steeple]

Pmoon did a lot of work on warp corp
Gave them all these effects and gear, gave them a signature abno and ego

[dusty sigil]

Yah

It’s gonna be sad to see them go

[atomic steeple]

Wonder if other factions will get signature abnos

[vagrant dove]

W-Corp does look really cool, I do hope Wayfarer gets some drip of their own honestly

[atomic steeple]

R corp abno

Big murder rabbit

Or a massive amount of animals

A murder ecosystem

[gentle mulch]

W Corp does look really cool in a What If Minimum Wage Had Aura

way

[fickle crown]

Tbh I'm pretty sure that the knight thing in the MD with the futuristic city might be based on N-Corp

[faint pivot]

P has Shelter from the 4th of March

N has Silent Girl

K has Scarecrow Searching for Wisdom

...ahaha

A has Judgement Bird
B has Big Bird
C has Punishing Bird

L has White Night :D

[gentle mulch]

SANGRIA is kind of a yuri

[fluid whale]

Really? K Corp?

I thought the Oz family was just like, Oz

No relationship to the wider setting

The real question is what 1.76 mhz is from/related to

[stoic fjord]

http://youtube.com/post/Ugkx9mCXqiRzVMP2k8zcdop3qGPnkOGWnRnI

[cloud wadi]

Instructions he was given doesn’t specify he should do it

Not even disallowed

The instructions doesn’t specifically say he should do it so he won’t

[dusty sigil]

I wonder if the other nursefathers knew that ||Shiomi was dead and Araya replaced her||

Besides Rien anyway

[gentle mulch]

i mean probably right?

unless they really just dont visit each other ever--okay yeah maybe

[dusty sigil]

Shiomi was always resentful and in the goddamn infinite repeating room so I doubt she had much of a relationship with the other nursefathers

The only one we see her ever talk to Rien

[bronze zephyr]

In the intervallo its ||sort of implied she pretended to be Shiomi around them yea||

[dusty sigil]

||Rien only mentions that she should act like Shiomi around the apprentices so it’s hard to tell||

||Its really clear they didn’t know, though it’s not like they knew the original to compare her to||

[bronze zephyr]

Oh icic

[cloud wadi]

I don't think they did

if Matthias knew Araya would be dead

[dusty sigil]

Oh yah I kinda forgot he really wanted to kill her

[atomic steeple]

He'd die trying

[bronze zephyr]

Idk if araya is stronger than him

[atomic steeple]

Certainly felt like it

May ahve had less time to train, but shows some powerful techniques

[dusty sigil]

I mean, to beat Matthias Limbus needed 3 sinners and the distortion detective crew, which is made up of a color and 2 high ranked fixers

To beat Araya limbus needed 3 sinners

Ryoshu didn’t even unlock Muga when she beat her

[atomic steeple]

She did seem to hold back a bit on ryoshu

At least to me

In the end, she allows ryoshu to give the final blow

[stoic fjord]

I think she was, in that she was just hoping that she would recognize her

Like I wouldn't say Jia Qiu levels of holding back to try and provoke some form of conversation/spark something but she's probably not fighting to kill yknow

[atomic steeple]

Anyway, if matthias tried anything, he'd have Araya and rien jumping him at once

[stoic fjord]

No going against the prescripts

[keen palm]

Does she have a passive that lowers her defense and offense

[atomic steeple]

Callisto would just vibe with things
Probably be hyped about how araya vs ryoshu would be a masterpiece

[stoic fjord]

Good question. Probably not

I haven't checked

Oh huh

-15

She does!

Wait

It alleges that it's the ||wound from Arayashiki||

[dusty sigil]

She also has this

[stoic fjord]

But... that... doesn't make sense.

[dusty sigil]

Which is literally her saying she’ll give Ryoshu quarter

[atomic steeple]

Hmm

A technique that cuts through space itself. Sundering the fabric of space has long been the ambition of of those who live by the sword——a hard-won feat reached through divergent disciplines.

[stoic fjord]

I think it's fairly clear cut as a "she was holding back" then

Lower level than Bumtthias but idc I'm willing to fraudpost about this man regardless of facts or evidence

[keen palm]

I do enjoy that Matthias proves shin and mang aren't the be-all end-all

You can just Be Tough

Fuck You

[atomic steeple]

SPlurge a lot on augs and kill allies for a relic sword

[atomic steeple]

Ah, there's level too, forgot to check their levels

[bronze zephyr]

Levels are
Rien and Matthias at 85
Callisto at 83
Araya and Valencina at 77
Muga at 75

It’s not an exact science obviously but it’s interesting

[dusty sigil]

I wonder what’ll happen when we reach level 90

Since that seems to be the level cap

[bronze zephyr]

We’ll be level 80 going into canto 13 I think

Coincidentally that Is Certain Sinclair’s level

[stoic fjord]

Curious as to what Jia Qiu is. Matthias would turn out like

[stoic fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/i-could've-sworn-there-was-a-gif-of-this-whatever-squid-game-squid-game-edit-squid-game-edit-meme-i'm-so-scared-gif-12360771953743496060

[dusty sigil]

What?

[gentle mulch]

jia qiu solos no diff 🥱

doesnt even need heishou pack buff fr

[stoic fjord]

No just like. I like thinking of fights between the big guys

[dusty sigil]

Oh, you misspelled Vs as is

[stoic fjord]

Ohhhh autocorrect

[dusty sigil]

Jia Qiu gets his head blown off no-diff

That man is a FRAUD

[bronze zephyr]

I think Jia Qiu would win against most of the cast

:0

[dusty sigil]

Who’s only feat is killing LEI HENG ON DEATH’S DOOR

[atomic steeple]

On the note of kits
Hyped for bad end ryoshu

[bronze zephyr]

True

[stoic fjord]

Lei Heng was a bum anyways trust

[fickle crown]

Super late but I personally interpreted it as another smoke war related abnormality

[dusty sigil]

That’s also true

Imagine losing to the sinners

Couldn’t be me

[fickle crown]

The sounds of gunfire and screaming definitely point to it being related to war in some capacity

[stoic fjord]

Everyone except Kali is a bum

[dusty sigil]

That’s true!

[fickle crown]

Mf you would lose to base Yi Sang in a fistfight

[dusty sigil]

Nah

[bronze zephyr]

I think 1.76 might be related to Shelter from 27th of March

[dusty sigil]

I will say Yi Sang is like

Exceptionally weak lol

Dude was weaker then a random teenager

[fickle crown]

At level 60?

[dusty sigil]

Who wasn’t even an athlete

[atomic steeple]

Backwards flow, forward flow, entangled life statuses

[dusty sigil]

No I meant before limbus company

[atomic steeple]

Sinclair? He's in his twenties

[fickle crown]

Oh yeah no I think he'd get folded

[keen palm]

Sinclair is most likely only 18-19

[atomic steeple]

You sure?

[keen palm]

He was still in high school when Kromer killed his family

[atomic steeple]

Hm, yeah I don't think it was mentioned he had a license

[stoic fjord]

Only fixers have the 20 age requirement

At least in terms of things explicitly stated

[dusty sigil]

That’s true yah

[stoic fjord]

The LCB might all lack fixer status besides verg

[atomic steeple]

Do we have a timeline for how long ago his family was killed?

[dusty sigil]

We only know it vaguely a few years ago

[keen palm]

Ishmael is a fixer

[atomic steeple]

I was sure he was a fixer already since he had his ax from the start
But limbus could have given it to him

[stoic fjord]

The profiles, most of them, at least, seem to imply recruitment into Limbus very soon after their thing happened

[atomic steeple]

My assumption had been he living off his family's money then trained and got a fixer license

But he is still inexperineced with violence

[dusty sigil]

Ngl I kinda assumed she went to a university of some kind

Since she was a nest resident

[keen palm]

She has explicitly worked with offices and associations

[gentle mulch]

i believe ishmael was a certificate grinder

[atomic steeple]

Ah, sinclair has fixer identities. Though identity age can drift

[dusty sigil]

Also yah ish just feels like the kind of person to pursue university

Since she basically just did what was expected of her

Get a good education, get a job

[gentle mulch]

🙂‍↕️ im not sure how much university is a thing in the City but cert grinding is probably the closest you can get

[dusty sigil]

It’s probably analogous to the Korean schooling system

[gentle mulch]

could be, i wouldnt know

[dusty sigil]

Also I forget, did she actually work her office job?

[atomic steeple]

It's kinda funny the night drifter goes "crack your egg soon or it'll be too late" at sinclair
While gregor has been holding his potential (both in power and aspects of himself) back like a decades long constipation

[dusty sigil]

Or was she so tired with the idea of getting one she immediately turned to whaling?

[stoic fjord]

From what she said in the beginning of check-up

[atomic steeple]

FOMO drifter

[stoic fjord]

She had one for a while

Enough to get familiar

[stoic fjord]

Tbf he's like. 70 or smth

[dusty sigil]

I know you mean limbus egg so it’s his potential for strength but it’s really funny to imagine night drifter as someone who thinks that it’s impossible to transition after you’re old enough

[dusty sigil]

Oh yah

[keen palm]

She could have meant her fixer jobs

With that

[atomic steeple]

Problematic Drifter

[dusty sigil]

Man, I really wanna know how the fuck is N Corp planning to do a city wide purge

It’s one thing to purge a neighborhood or two with the permission of the Corp

But like

There’s no way that every Corp is just gonna say “yah sure kill our nest citizens we don’t care”

Like, that’s a declaration of war

[worthy haven]

It does seem tho like the plan is not clear yet

seeing as the board meeting happened at the end of canto 9

and we still have not heard or know anything yet about what Nail things about this plan

||my theory is that we might get hired by Nail to fuck with the inquisition/Hammer ||

[dusty sigil]

It would be a very funny mixup for us if we’re aligned with n Corp for this canto

[worthy haven]

with n corp vs n corp

[dusty sigil]

Yah

[worthy haven]

I would like that ye

cause we gotta hear more about Nail

[stoic fjord]

Circumstances leading to us being aligned with Herman temporarily or smth would be hilarious

[dusty sigil]

I hope they’re the focus yah

Since it’s likely Meursault worked for that branch?

With him never coming to a conclusion on prosthetic users

He wasn’t a fanatic

[stoic fjord]

Gregor goes in the torment nexus once more

[dusty sigil]

Oh absolutely

God

I need her to ask Gregor how he enjoyed his gift

[stoic fjord]

"How was my gift, dear? :)"

[worthy haven]

Ye Def seems like he wasn't hammer

[dusty sigil]

I think it also just, kinda fits him?

Nail’s as a concept are the things used to drive in

Unlike hammers or the ones who grip hammers, they don’t exist to act themselves

But respond to the actions of others

Which is just, very Meursault

[vagrant dove]

"You should really unwrap it further :)"

Poor Gregor

So glad we got that scene of ||him and Moses+ the Sinners listening in||

[gentle mulch]

valencina is

terrible holy shit

[dusty sigil]

I agree but what prompted this?

[vagrant dove]

Yeah the other Apprentices not wanting to be around her is

so tellinf

[gentle mulch]

i fucking hate that evade

[vagrant dove]

Oh to fight

Yeah Precognition without Verg is hard I've heard

[dusty sigil]

Ah yah I can’t imagine that’s good

[stoic fjord]

It's like when you were at a friend's house as a kid ||and their dad or mom genuinely started fucking screaming at them for trivial shit and you just had to sit there and try and pretend things were normal as they were trying not to cry next to you ||

Like that's the vibe

[gentle mulch]

and you have to deal with lucio on top of the eye

FUCK

[vagrant dove]

Yeah. ||Poor Ryoshu and Lucio honestly. ||

[fickle crown]

||Kira getting ditched by Ren is also just sad||

[stoic fjord]

Yeah :(

[fickle crown]

||Like on one hand I get it, but on the other hand he really could've just said he didn't want to be around her||

[vagrant dove]

The dynamics in the house of spiders are genuinely just

So Fucked

[gentle mulch]

like so so so fucked

[fickle crown]

||We do at least know Kira wasn't particularly fond of Albina and Callisto for obvious reasons||

[vagrant dove]

Like ||Matthias going off and fucking murdering people at Ryoshu's academy||

[fickle crown]

||Like even she was terrified of the shit they were doing in that gallery||

[vagrant dove]

||and then Callisto leaving that "gift" for her||

Good lord

[stoic fjord]

I think the part that's the worst is that they were genuinely all just... kids. Maybe not in the present, but...

[fickle crown]

||It's both deeply fucked and ironically heartwarming how Callisto was actually angry about what happened but then the "gift" situation is just... Eugh||

||Callisto being somewhere between actually trying to be a good parent and being so pathetically off the mark is deeply saddening||

[stoic fjord]

The nursefathers were basically their parents.

And it's not like there was any connection between them (the apprentices), either, to lighten that at all

[vagrant dove]

||like he wants to send his daughter to school and have her be invested in Art, but he's also a Ring member, with all that entails||

[fickle crown]

||Imo Callisto and Rien were truly the only ones to actually try parenting but both were far too damaged to ever do so effectively||

[gentle mulch]

||Callisto is just a really sad case of genuinely trying and being so awful you're around as bad as Valencina||

[vagrant dove]

Yep.

[gentle mulch]

||and rien doesnt even have the will to try he's just doing things based off of prescripts and such||

[vagrant dove]

||i felt really sad for Kira when she was trying to justify why Matthias fucking cut her in half||

||because for most of her life he has appeared to be The Cool Father (horribly negligent in reality||

[stoic fjord]

That shit was too real. Like... kids trying to make excuses for why what their parents do to them is okay and justified and they're fine, see? They mean the best.

||This is why Matthias's death made me cheer||

It's the only one I didn't feel any kind of bad about

||His death was the only one that just flat-out made me happy||

[vagrant dove]

||Iike he doesn't treat her how say, Valencina treats Lucio, so she assumes it must have been for the Good of the Family because why else would he do it?||

[stoic fjord]

All the others had some aspect that made them feel kind of hollow and like.

It made me wish for better

[vagrant dove]

But the truth is Matthias doesn't care about anything but himself

[stoic fjord]

Meanwhile ||Matthias getting killed had me like|| 🥳 🎉 🎊 🍾 🥂 🎂

[vagrant dove]

I think Matthias' hollowness comes from that

[stoic fjord]

True

He is a genuinely interesting character i just flat-out hate him entirely despite that

[vagrant dove]

They're all such good explorations of how hollow the Fingers are honestly

I did like the look at some other Ring members

The Fauvists are cool

[vagrant dove]

But yeah actual Torment Nexus

[keen palm]

Average American Italian French Japanese household

[atomic steeple]

I think he had to take care of ||araya. Remember, kira often saw him in the kitchen||
He's the parentfied kid

[vagrant dove]

One of the things that also made me sad was Kira ||and that whole scene of her offering to teach Lucio some cool techniques from her comic books, bc there's so much to unpack there||

||like Lucio identifying there's something wrong with Matthias, being so concerned with being a perfect Textbook that he brushes away connection, Kira's lack of real training||

[atomic steeple]

Callisto is deeply sad ||in how he was a doting father, but ultimately never expanded his perspective nor understood others
So he just failed as a father||

[vagrant dove]

Also ||Lucio's whole dehumanization of himself thanks to Valencina's abuse.||

[stoic fjord]

Yeah...

[vagrant dove]

I just feel so bad for all the Apprentices

Kjh give Kira a cool found family with the LCD and my life is yours

[lean fjord]

He takes pride in the role he is given because he doesn't think he has any worth outside of it

[stoic fjord]

I think it'd be the LCE, rather, but true

[vagrant dove]

Either works

[vagrant dove]

Also on this topic, really glad to have gotten more of Hohenheim

Him and Faust seem to have been taking comfort in falling back to the Old Pattern of beefing with each other

Also he's such ||a fake IDGAFer at the funeral||

[atomic steeple]

Hell, ||his two attempts are comforting ryoshu were awful||

[vagrant dove]

I do find it very interesting that a lot of the time when he's in his fake idgafer routine his glasses cover his eyes

Eyes are the window to the soul and all that

[glad fable]

Hohenheim has quickly become one of our favorite characters

I love our fake idgafer so much

[lean fjord]

He's great

[fickle crown]

||That too, but Ren is also a fairly disconnected person in general from my understanding and doesn't seem to really like being around the other apprentices either||

[vagrant dove]

Same! I really like the LCE crew in general

Rip marton, still thinking about that last interaction with Hohenheim

Just the way he forces hohenheim to abandon the fake idgafer facade

[atomic steeple]

||But he did agree to a hangout with kira, if I remember right||

[glad fable]

||He ghosted her though||

[glad fable]

||Love how he basically immediately warmed up to Kira despite everything||

[vagrant dove]

Yeah

[vagrant dove]

Genuinely had to pause for a little bit at this node

[lean fjord]

Hohenheim is great because he just uses the asshole scientist image as a mask for his true feelings

[stoic fjord]

mhm

them being at each other's throats and adding constant sneak disses almost feels friendly

this is right. this is normal. it's ok.

[vagrant dove]

It's That Type of friendship

[stoic fjord]

and just for a moment

Faust doesn't have to deal with the Gesselschaft

and just for a moment

Hohenheim doesn't quite have to accept that so many people he cared for are dead

[vagrant dove]

Hohenheim doesn't have to process his emotions

[stoic fjord]

dude I fucking love Limbus so much it's like if they made peak and then went "how can we make it peaker"

[vagrant dove]

Straight run of banger cantos

I don't quite think 9 tops 7 for me

[lean fjord]

I think 6 is still my personal favorite canto

[vagrant dove]

Something about the whole deconstruction of dreams/childishness then it's reaffirmation does That For Me

[split beacon]

Frankly, Faust and Hohenheim work great as dumb acerbic friends because the whole point of doing that is establishing a boundary and kinda just clowning while making it very clear (through insults) that you’ll not step over that line

[vagrant dove]

But 9 and 9.5 are so peak

[split beacon]

And Faust needs that desperately

While Hohenheim just needs friends in general

[keen palm]

I still read Faust and Hohenheim as divorced

[vagrant dove]

Divorced without ever having been married

[atomic steeple]

Berdly x kris friendshit

Typo but I'm keeping it

[stoic fjord]

kaltsit... is that her name?

anyways she's lowk carrying me in intervallo boss with the heishou team as my team

[atomic steeple]

Command meltdown ego, you mean?

[stoic fjord]

yes

[stoic fjord]

I'd like to say that perhaps I was slightly too harsh on NClair

he is not completely worthy of execution

he is pretty good during the intervallo boss so far

[vagrant dove]

Life or death for the One Who Shall Grip

Speaking of N-Corp, still so fuckimg scared about 9.5-2

[fickle crown]

Matthias ass post

[bronze zephyr]

?

[vagrant dove]

The second intervallo

We going to N-Corp

[bronze zephyr]

Ye

[cloud wadi]

Ricardo rn is like that Dragonborn’s kid from that one Skyrim comic

[stoic fjord]

Elaborate?

[cloud wadi]

The comic where the kid is like “I’m gonna prank my dad!” And waits with a toy sword by the door to the hearth fire home

And the punchline is that Dragonborn never enters his own home because why would he

We literally just teleported out of h corp

[keen palm]

Charlie thats just generally a meme

The Skyrim bit is a version of it

[gentle mulch]

farming the intervallo boss and it's just trying to fuel fluid sac as much as possible

okay renclair

[bronze zephyr]

Before Library of Ruina, the mad lads at ProjectMoon teased an entire game all about R Corp and the pivotal plot event to the PMoonverse known as the Smoke War, there was a poster for it and everything

...judging by that first set of words you can tell what happened though

||I know it's her entire gimmick, but man I really wish Rufo didn't have this passive. It makes any status team other than poise and charge suck against her. Even with poise teams you can't use the index trio effectively||

Canto 9 and intervallo spoilers joke

[gentle mulch]

this fight is so ass to farm

maost

just fucking kill this mf

[keen palm]

Does it? Cuz bleed still seems to kill her shockingly easy

[vagrant dove]

||I did find it slightly annoying, but then I curse myself by mainly using tremor/sinking||

In my defense: jeongmael and fa&sshu

[glad fable]

How the heck are you getting bleed on her

[keen palm]

Half the bleed IDs I use have AoE

[vagrant dove]

And udjat outis

[bronze zephyr]

i just run ring for the currency bonus

[atomic steeple]

Sanguine desire can help too with bleed

[keen palm]

And then when I get to the Critque I just use SD yeah

Like I have done this fight 3-4 times and I havent had anyone die yet, except Manadon getting brought down to 1 one time but her passive procced

[vagrant dove]

she's so cool

i love that little twirl she does with her revolver

ryoshu is an obligate aurafarmer

no matter the timeline

[atomic steeple]

I like the jump ring faust does in her s2

Also dang, so much bleed count

[vagrant dove]

also this image is still so fucking funny

Let the games begin

Limbus company could have totally hired the Fourth Pack, specially if the theory Dias is funding the company is true.

So Myo could know the Molars are alright, but just avoid them out of guilt. Just ensure they are safe, from afar

good angst potential

[vagrant dove]

still can't believe the official limbus company account posted that

[atomic steeple]

@stoic fjord

[gentle mulch]

okay so the intervallo boss can just negate ToTB

good to know ig

[atomic steeple]

What?

[vagrant dove]

i think the fact that ryoshu would do something like this is what makes it land

[gentle mulch]

hong lu just dies

he doesnt proc the second ego activation

he just dies
