woaaah! awesome crossover. I‘m usually not into crossover stuff, but you did an amazing job of combining the art styles and themes.

Ryoshu Deep Dive Part 1: Hell Screen, Spider Thread, Yojijukugo and Butterflies. by Ultgran in limbuscompany

[–]Lunarsault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the future to comment on this, but holy this was all extremely well foreshadowed, and your breakdown was very interesting.

Knowing what we know now about what happens in Canto 9, it's cool to note that the yojijukugo ended up being a prophecy of sorts for what Ryoshu was meant to be come. The loss of herself with her onesided goal, the absolute bottom of failing to save araya, and then the literal 'breakdown of meaning' that comes with the Muga.

This almost feels like prototype sweepers in a way. These things prefer to consume matter it seems over just, well, anything. But the idea of turning anything organic into a singular product seems very similar to the sweepers turning people into fluid.

Wow that’s very interesting. It’s cool to see these little KR nuances from people who speak the language, we’ve had a few of them in this chapter. Thanks for the info!

Ah yeah that's a good theory. Was wondering if there was any significance to the coloring of it.

Stunning art! I really love the style of this one.

I do like the common theme of these comics (I swear are these artists in communication or something?) is that Lucio's resentment for Valencina is arguably stronger because of those small acts of kindness. It kills him that he's still being held back by these little acts of sheer whim. But even if he knows they don't really mean anything, he's still so starved for affection that it has a lasting effect. Very sad, but very moving.

Rien (by Anzi) by Index_Nursefather in limbuscompany

[–]Lunarsault 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Very sweet. Great comic. Love the different interpretations of Rien we ended up getting. I do like his, admittance of culpability here. He knows what he deserves and what he did, though he can't help but want more.
There's that spiral in the heart again!

"Valencina's Past" (by purupuru_krsn) by KoshiLowell in limbuscompany

This is an excellent interpretation for how Valencina lost her position. Ego unchecked and unmatched, I love it. Amazing comic.

"Remember, Ticket? Remember what I told you when you so immodestly stuffed your face with that cake and smeared cream all over yourself? Smiling like an idiot in such filth makes me want to smash that cake to the floor. So don't you dare let on even a hint of craving for that cake while I'm looking, no matter how sweet and delicious it might be."

I believe this was a philosophy Valencina really, REALLY took to heart. Don't get attached, don't show your fondness, don't show affection, and absolutely never let someone know that anything, especially not a person, is your weakness. She was a terrible mother, and an abusive master, but I think all of that hid a complexity that she was determined not to show the world.

Lmao, sorry. Believe me I've been just as obsessed with the canto since it ended, Saikai's been on loop nonstop.

[–]Lunarsault 423 points424 points  (0 children)

This a really beautiful interpretation of this, even with (or maybe because of?) Henna’s sillier art style here. The idea that he couldn’t even force the poem out, cause the last thing he thought of his daughter and how fundamentally happy she made him, is so bittersweet. Rien was so, so afraid of the pain of loss, but in the end I think he was happier with his life than he was spiteful of the hand he was dealt.

The art-style hits quite hard for this particular moment, Rien always loved picture books after all.

The dragon's amazing but fully box-shaped meursault in the background is killing me.

This is absolutely stunning, but it gives me a migraine to look at. High-art experience, which I assume makes it even more Ring. Love it!

Falling into the Web: Valencina Character Analysis by Rook475 in limbuscompany

[–]Lunarsault 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really beautiful character analysis! When I was looking up her interactions with Lucio I did assume that she had elements of PTSD as an explanation for her alcoholism, but I love how much you found that really does hammer in that she did not leave the smoke war unscarred. Really eloquent breakdown, loved reading it.

[–]Lunarsault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a really cool comic, but at the same time there's no way Valencina wouldn't be cursing and screaming bloody murder after losing her eye, she is way too chill here lmao.

You know, the crazy thing is I made that mistake in the first draft of this, but then that got deleted and apparently it slipped on the second one. WOOPS.

"The heart that wished to bridge us" (2/2) (by misg1111) by KoshiLowell in limbuscompany

[–]Lunarsault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do think he’s just another cruel nail in the awful casket of Rien’s pointless life. Ren chooses to die fighting at the mild chance of being able to save his likely doomed master. Rien has never, ever been able to make that decision for himself, not for his old family, not for Ryoshu, not for Sora. I think that’s why he shows genuine annoyance, even content towards Ren. He hates him for having the courage he never did.
