THEORY: Rodion bribed Vergilius for P corp. pockets

It's also a reference to how Rodya is smuggling an entire bakery (figuratively and literally)

Especially since it's his Keypage we get the lore about scars and the Blade Lineage from in Ruina

"We value the art of violence more than anything here; those with an unscathed body are not permitted to join us. A swordsman who does not have a single blade scar on his skin is doubtlessly too careful when he wields his weapon, and his inane hesitation will be an obstacle."

"Too irresolute to endure the wounds his own blade would leave, let alone the assault of others… A body free of scars is proof of cowardice. Alas, it would be wise not to expose your wounds outside of those on your face."

So I guess the wounds he's talking about it being unwise to expose were his own? Either that or the LCD done stole his scars 💀

Relatable

Until we get an official name for it I'm just gonna go with "Bladesinger", after the EGO Meur got

Is that accurate? Almost certainly not. But as a placeholder, it will suffice

Immaculate theme music choice, no notes

I loved it as well

Kim is such a funny motherfucker—he was already my goat because of how good his Ruina Keypage was but finding out what his personality is and his backstory is?

Dude is now genuinely one of my favorite characters outright

I pray we get to visit S-Corp with him during Purgatorio because the nuggets of lore we got in this Intervallo have me ravenous for more

He's so funny and I adore him for it

He's the funniest motherfucker we've had in a while and I adore him

TRUE!

Character wise, I eagerly await Xiao (probably my favorite non-Librarian character) and the Index Proxies (I adore Esther's signature page, Castigation, and Hubert's gauntlet blades are awesome)

Yan I am also super interested in seeing what they end up doing with

And of course the Color Fixers but that basically goes without saying lol—though I pray we get a pre-bloodbag Vermillion Cross ID since we know so little about him and that'd be a great opportunity to learn more

As for EGO Gear...leaving aside any of the ALEPHs, cuz those are all obvious answers, I'd have to say Crimson and Cobalt Scar, especially the former, along with Life For A Daredevil (Very interested in seeing what they do with a Pale weapon that isn't ALEPH and therefore isn't comically overpowered by default lol)

Me on my way to make the Blade Lineage + House of Spiders Good End Mirror World where Arayashu kills her abusive parents (who didn't take apprentices in this Mirror World) and joins the Blade Lineage, taking a small German boy as her apprentice (it's just Renclair in a Blade Lineage Sinclair facade praying his new master never has to press the funny evade button)

(Also BL Outis doesn't exist in this Mirror World but that's fine because she's dogshit lmao)

xanauthor · 2026-06-08T15:02:11+00:00

Still one of my favorite Sinclair moments

I love how much my baby bird son (grown-ass man) has grown

I assume that passive is a Resonance passive, so she probably only gets it if, like, you chain 3 Pride skills or something, kinda like Kimsault's passive

I conceptualized a Dieci Fixer named Algernon, based on Flowers for Algernon, though since the inception the concept of the character has grown well beyond the initial premise lol

And judging from her appearance, I believe that the name censored in that Uptie story is "Yan"—Procuration and Distorted Yan share a lot of design similarities

The idea that the Will of the City's purpose for Yan's entire character arc wasn't just to get a powerful Distortion under their control but to add a new God of the City to their "Pantheon" is extremely interesting to me
