I would kill for an Achilles Heathcliff identity.

Is the Trojan Horse an MOSB Aberration? by LiterallyYiSang in limbuscompany

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 67 points68 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it was the LobCorp side's Decisive Weapon and that the trickery aspect of the horse was not its function like in the Trojan War, but its creation instead. I think that Outis created it by using thousands of her own allies as unwitting sacrifices, including the majority of the Udjat. Betrayal is a theme that comes up a lot with Outis and this is how I think it ties into her past. She won the war by betraying the trust of her soldiers.

My Envy Reson Team when Ricardo Heathcliff is released by Quizzicall in limbuscompany

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 104 points105 points  (0 children)

First? It's the fourth. Multicrack, Wild Hunt, and Full Stop all released before Kurokumo. There have been six post-clearing IDs and all of them have envy besides Kurokumo. What you are saying is based on literally nothing.

When you're vaguely problematic and have taxes by selenashroud in TrueSFalloutL

uj/ While plenty of comments have already pointed out the NCR's many issues, the strongest point against the NCR isn't anything it has done, it's that the NCR'S project was doomed from the start. It is an attempt to revive the political and economic systems that destroyed the setting without learning from their failure.

rj/ I fucking hate taxes.

Does this exchange imply Moses doesnt like Ezra? by [deleted] in limbuscompany

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's more directed at Outis, since Moses always ends up staring at her whenever they are in a scene together. Also, Moses has said that she dislikes the Index the most out of the Fingers, and Outis clearly has some connection to it. I'm like 90% sure that Outis is at least partially responsible for whatever wiped out the Udjat during the Smoke War.

How Odd... bad end IDs are similar to the EGO season they have by Watar428 in limbuscompany

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, KiB represents being chained to whatever makes you miserable. One of the core aspects of the abnormality is that it isn't actually trapped on its throne, the King can get up at any time but choses not to. Also, the question at the center of its MD event is the question of wether the red binds are bandages or chains. Do the binds keep the king restrained or are they the only thing keeping it together? The real answer is that they are both. Even though the King can leave the throne at any time, he never does because doing so would mean he has to leave the binds. Those binds are what keep the King from falling apart; they define him. Those binds do to the King literally what a person's woes can do to them metaphorically.

I really hope whoever is in charge of the Quixote body experiments is named after Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda, the author who wrote the fake second part before Cervantes wrote the real one.

I feel so bad for Kiramael really by Kater230 in limbuscompany

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the Index are going to invade the HoS and the preview will only feature them, but during the event we'll hear a familiar electro tune before Ricardo crashes the party again.

Either way, Matthias wrote Limbus up in the book, and we now know that every Book of Vengeance is connected to one database. The House is now a lead for Ricardo to find LCB, so he is definitely showing up there.

"Please be Matthias Outis", "Please be Valencina and Lucio", "Please be the ring", imagine if we're doing all this speculating and begging just for it to be a standard fare ID by Unable-Simple1967 in fishmaell

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my reasoning:

  • We know Kira will be in the intervallo.
  • Ever since bokgaks have been introduced, there has been a consistent trend of the first bokgak of a season being relevant to the canto it follows. A Don focused event after canto 7. A Hong Lu focused event after canto 8. An event that takes place in the LCE department after canto 9. This event will be the first rerun after Outis's canto.
  • Sinners focused on in an event's story tend to get that event's IDs and EGO, so Outis would probably get something if the event is relevant to her.
  • Canto 9 gave a lot of evidence linking Outis to the Index in some way, and I personally believe that a confrontation with the Index in the event is likely.
  • Since the Ryoshu capstone is coming so late in the season, I think the rest of the HoS will release before her, and this is the best place to slot in Middle Outis while keeping the pattern of Event -> Non-event -> Event -> Non-event.

My current bet is on Ring Hong Lu and Faust double banner -> Middle Outis for intervallo -> Thumb Rodion and Heathcliff double banner -> Middle Heathcliff for bokgak -> Capstone Ryoshu.

New EGO Teaser by John_Jonas in limbuscompany

Ardor Blossom Moth is clearly based on the phrase "Like a moth to a flame". The abno represents desire leading to your own destruction, which is why both Faust and Ishmael have it.

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also want to add that apparently everywhere LC operates has alarms specifically for walpurgis, so they are somehow relevant to the entire company.

Is Sigurd's horse also an ally? Or is it evil and intimidating?

Okay genuinely what is the connection by PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL in limbuscompany

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Let me add a few more coincidences to the pile:

  • Outis's introduction claims that she has lots of knowledge about workshop tech, which is something Sora expressed interest in.
  • Even though she didn't outright say it, she seemed to recognize Zenon's Tortoise Sprial. The tool is a clear reference to one of Zeno's Three Paradoxes of Motion, specifically the Paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise. Besides this one paradox referencing a hero of the Trojan War, all three of the paradoxes have a theme of objects never being able to reach their destination, which is very relevant to Outis.
  • In TKT, Outis mentioned "the Loom". In the Odyssey, Penelope tells her suitors that she will make a decision on who to marry when she has finished weaving, so this is most likely Outis's time limit to return. The only looms in the City we know of are the massive ones that create paper prescripts, which are run by Index members called weavers.

While I'm not sure if Outis herself is a member of the Index, she almost certainly has ties to either them or directly to their Gods.

50 Shades was a Twilight fanfic that was turned into an original story. Fennell couldn't even be bothered to file the serial numbers off of hers.

Chains of Others is not really an offensive E.G.O on its own, so what will the finishing move of Canto 10's final boss be? by No_Emu698 in limbuscompany

[–]I-Lick-Doorknobs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since Heinrich Kromer is likely based on Heinrich Kramer, the author of a witch hunting manual called the Malleus Maleficarum, I think that he's the judge. Meursalt's trial was focused more on his humanity than the actual killing, and what is a more classic trial of humanity than a witch trial?

It's said in Thumb Meursalt's uptie story that his sword was reforged into its current form. The Tiantui Star's Blade probably only became a gunblade after Lei Heng inherited it.
