Shapeshifting

Hey bird experts of tumblr, there's a bird nest I just discovered on a gutter on our back porch with eggs in it. We have frequent storms, are having 70mph winds here in a bit, and it's (in my opinion) low to the ground for a birds nest. Should I be worried?

Not sure what bird laid these but the adult birds have went back to the nest and hung out there (poor pic quality cause I didn't want to get super close to the nest, but its like. Right outside the door.)

BE FREE!!!

Why I love my phone:

- Good entertainment

- Literally where all my real friends are

Coming back to this post cause I have a new theory

Servant of Wrath is connected to the K Corp singularity the Tearful Thing too.

In Servant’s breaching form, we see it has many eyes, all red and crying from anger and rage. We didn’t get a clear look, but it’s safe to assume Tearful is in great suffering and pain too.

Their tears/liquid produced are both green.

Now, onto their stories. In the Servant’s lore, it’s one of the magical girls, who befriended a Hermit from another world. Tearful was found by Stephanette. To singularities, we are the aliens, thus, another world.

In one of the Servant’s key page, we see her reading a book with the Hermit. Stephanette used to read the Tearful Thing’s heartfelt stories so it would cry.

They’re both betrayed by the ones they trust, even if we don’t know what Tearful Thing is thinking, we can assume it also felt a great betrayal.

In LOR, Servant of Wrath is located on Floor of Natural Sciences, and Tearful Thing is a biological being.

Aside from all the similarities, we can also assume the Magical Girls are also tied to other singularities, we just don’t know which ones.

But hey, that’s just a theory!

Can someone infodump about what the lobotomy corp abno’s signify

I wanna know and don’t care about which you you rant about

I'm pretty sure everyone remembers how Dante's clock has been moving over time. BUT, there is now an identifiable pattern to its movements, and its associated with the development of the sinners!

During Cantos 1-3, Dante's role in events is one of a passive observer. Gregor, Rodion, and Sinclair all made it through their cantos without much (if any) advice from Dante, the events of which mostly served to establish where they stood as characters/why they behave in the ways that they do.

Canto 4 was where this formula started to change. Yi Sang needed more out of Dante than the previous sinners; There was a Big Issue from his past that was controlling his future (namely, his entrapment in the past caused by the Hot Mess Involving T-Corp And The Mirror), forcing Dante to take on the role of Emotional Support Clockhead to guide him through the Canto. And at the end of the Canto, two things happened:

Vergilius commented on "the look on [Dante's] face"...

... and the clock moved for the first time.

The next 2 Cantos maintained this level of involvement from Dante: Ishmael needed Dante to help guide her away from her self-destructive obsession (I.E, to find "[her] compass [which] was swallowed by the sea" and choose to start "piercing through the rope that strangled [Captain Ahab] and [Ishmael]", freeing her to move toward the future), and Heathcliff needed Dante to help guide him through effectively communicating how much he loved Catherine/engaging in healthy relationship dynamics. (Seriously: the real antagonist of Canto 6 is communication issues.)

Effectively: Cantos 1, 2, and 3 had Dante doing the equivalent of talking with their respective Sinners as they drove their car down an empty street. Pretty casual, nothing major happened. Cantos 4, 5 and 6 required Dante to give directions, help them figure out where they got lost, convince them to pull over, calm down, and eat SOMETHING to get their blood sugar up before continuing toward their destination. More work, but these Sinners received greater rewards.

With Canto 7, the car was inside an IKEA.

Sinclair had to get the doors open. Faust had to find the car, awkwardly wedged in one of the shortcuts between display sections. Gregor, Rodion, Ishmael, Yi Sang, and Heathcliff had to pull Sancho out of the bunk bed in a completely different section of the store, with Ryoshu and Outis bringing their spoils from the marvelously-priced IKEA food court. Hong Lu had to help guide Sancho through getting the car out of the place it was awkwardly wedged, and Mersault held back the crowd. Dante's task wasn't just emotional support, but guidance. Sancho/Don Quixote needed someone to reassure her that there was a way forward, a something worth pursuing. And Dante did wonderfully.

So, is it a surprise that this canto is where the clock moved again?

Don Quixote (Who, as we learned in this canto, is a bloodfiend, like Vergilius) commented on Dante's expression.

And the clock moved.

BUT BETWEEN THESE TWO EVENTS, DANTE MADE THE CHOICE TO SMILE. "like Don Quixote asked me to".

THEREFORE, it is my conclusion that, between the commentary of lu-is-not-okay on Hong Lu's impending mental breakdown (SPECIFICALLY this post, which is the reason for my diatribe) AND the existence of this pattern of increasingly intensive Sinner rehabilitation efforts, Canto 8 will be the mental health equivalent of trying to get Hong Lu off of the car, which is precariously balanced upside down on a fountain, on the third floor of a shopping mall, while being chased by mall security (read: his family).

And it's going to be awesome.

Outis projected so hard in this Canto. Everyone thought she and Gregor were the oldest but no, it’s Don Sancho Quixote Second Kindred. The youngsters these days have no effect on her.

Imagine the conversation going something like this once Don snaps at the Sinners

“Anyone would be uncomfortable with such strong light right in their face. I’ve been out in sunlight plenty of times with the lot of you. No garlic doesn’t matter. We all know that coffin is far from safe put it away. The Christ imagery is one way for the religious to comfort themselves. And for the love of the Outskirts- PUT AWAY THE WATER!”

Oh boy, I sure can't wait for Intervallo 7.5, where the gang goes on yet another wacky roadtrip while the gang goes to Hong Lu's home district and learn about his extremely complex family dynamic and the many many references to the original novel, it's multiple remakes, and/or the series adaptation.

The next Walpurgis is most likely the Safety Team with Netzach as the next Announcer; and the next LobCorp IDs might connect to Abnormalities of denial, blissful ignorance, or the constricting force of family (Queen of Hatred, Queen Bee, Void Dream).

Even if the Sinners adjust to the fact that one of their members is a Second Kindred Bloodfiend, everyone keeps eyeing Outis just in case she tries to kill Don mentally or physically. She's still salty about the "betrayal" of having a definite threat in their ranks and were possibly waiting to backstab them at any moment (...Did something happen with Eurylochus, Outis?).

And even if she's also adjusting to a modernish life without the fanatic belief in Fixers, Don Sancho Quixote the Second reads them the riot act on their multiple attempts to prove she's a "real vampire" and committing elder abuse: shining light in her eyes or putting her in direct sunlight, putting garlic in her food, Dead Butterfly's coffin and Hundred Sins cross mace in her face cause Christian symbol or possible vamp bed, chasing her with a water bottle or spray bottle, so much water, so much water...
