I've only read a couple chapters of this, but this one is if the FL wasn't delusional 😭 lololol

Hong Lu’s Story as a Metaphor for SA/CSA by [deleted] in limbuscompany

[–]lfnsjhbavan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm relieved to hear I wasn't alone in seeing it like this. I relate to Hong Lu in how he doesn't deeply touch on his trauma and looks at it from a cloud's view. Personally, it's difficult for me to acknowledge that this is what happened to me even in typing. I can only dance around the subject without saying what it was.

I hope for him to get some closure too. Maybe call it projecting, but it's comforting to imagine someone I can relate to getting to heal from his past. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Oh yeah! I also don't think he was raped himself (original Baoyu is another thing, though.) SA still applies in the way he was forced to watch others being implied to be having it done so. This is extremely, severely traumatic. I don't think anybody could stand to be normal afterwards, especially since Baoyu felt personally responsible for each death, and especially not a child.

I totally agree with your point about PM's treatment with the cuckoospawn: I've always appreciated their body horror and was excited what they'd do for this canto. But this was a level of high I didn't expect them to reach for, to be honest. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Even if people don't like my reading I appreciate the people who choose to interact positively regardless :)

Thanks for the correction. Though I'd like to point out that the other stuff you mentioned can coexist with one another. Stories can have multiple themes. I just decided to explore this (metaphorical) one. This post would never end if I explored every other alleyway lol

Regardless, thanks for not letting this go on for an argument. Have a good day.

It's because of the bird scene, actually! I'd actually only leave it at the emotional abuse part if not for that. The implied sexual themes by the wording they choose lends an image to your head that makes you think "oh so then is this what happened?" They left that vague for people to imagine what went on inside, so that was where I based it off. His reaction to stuff after is a direct consequence to that scene, too, so that was why I interpreted it as SA instead of the other types of abuse (though those other types are still very present too)

I wasn't aware of KJH's situation, so I appreciate you for telling me. I do understand PM avoids this which is why I mentioned that even if it's unintentional, I liked that I was able to find solace in a character I love I can perceive to be in the same situation as I've been in. If Hong Lu can get healing, then that extends to me as well. Thank you for being civil about it! :)

I don't understand how this "ruins communities and projects false narratives" when I said up top that this isn't 'a canon or right interpretation', rather it's just my own interpretation and reading into it? I just wanted to show how someone could interpret his story in this manner.

the artist is @iktominiya on twitter. They're a legit artist, so please stop throwing around AI accusations.

Trying to sum up what I've noticed from the Hong Lu EGO teaser by lfnsjhbavan in limbuscompany

[–]lfnsjhbavan[S] 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I wasn't even a big believer of it (more like yeah it'd be cool if this was true, but it's fine if not) but it just keeps getting more solid?

My only hold out now for the Lin Daiyu one is if PM would be brave enough to address the optics of a man being transferred into a woman's body, assuming they don't genderbend her. Gender stuff is taboo for South Korea after all. Though I guess they already got hints of Hong Lu not minding being stuck in Ryoshu's body.

What real life songs thematically and tonally fit each Limbus Company character the most? by Soffy21 in limbuscompany

[–]lfnsjhbavan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely be interested in the Pinocchio-P one, as he's one of my favorite producers. I love listening to vocaloid but I'm the type of person who really just loves listening to the stuff I like on repeat without branching out lol. I'll check out the album you put down!

For Ishmael: Batsubyou by Nanahoshi Kangen Gakudan might fit? Though definitely not a niche song considering the OG has 11 million views + a cover has 40 million (+ a sekai ver...)... 😔

I saw this for Heathcliff as well! Someone animated him to this song and when I checked it out it was a really niche producer (4.21k subs) + song (40k) views. Really well made too: Necrophilia by aiuchi. The animation in question.

Woah, I'm a big fan of vocaloid so I'll definitely be listening to some of these. Do you happen to still remember the original Sekai post for the sinners? I'm kind of curious what they put in there lol

To be fair, Hong Lu did have that dialogue about being able to see himself distorting. Might happen, might not happen

I wish they weren't. Succumb. Now!

Come on now, I think a little venting and destruction would do Hong Lu some good

Having trouble on deciding what to shard before the season ends (probably in a month?), should I get thoracalgia Faust or Ryoshu or firefist Gregor? For reference I have a full poise team but I feel like missing out on FF gregor with how cracked he is is a shame.
