limbus characters rhythm gamer tier list
My friends were doing smash or pass with the sinners but because I'm ace I decided I'll go the cooking route (the way to reach an aces heart lol)
*opens lobcorp* *fails the day* *closes lobcorp* *cries*
ngl I hope sinclair ends up rebelling against demian in some way since (if the book is anything to go by) one of the major aspects of his character arc is learning to not depend on others for comfort and guidance… limbus demian talks about sinclair in very predestined terms, and, while I’m not arguing he’s evil or anything, the expectation of a higher purpose + the fact that book demian is revered as this holy being that sinclair longs to be on the level of… idk it feels strangely kromer-esque to me? minus the familicide of course, I mean more so in terms of what they want from sinclair. demian definitely sees sinclair as more of a person, but there’s still this expectation of what he Could be… all while assuming that sinclair will just accept it once the time comes…
Identity review, Rosespanner Greg:
He has-
a pattern of almost killing himself and his coworkers with a faulty chainsaw
a crippling addiction to caffeine
no apartment, no patents, no self-destruct update on his arm, no screws, no beard (accidentally burned off with flamethrower arm)
a dislike of being alone
a crippling addiction to nicotine
a job that is very obviously sucking the life out of him to fuel a capitalist system that couldn’t give a shit if he dies, which he’s aware of completely but believes he may still escape it all if he makes enough money, further fueling that cruel system
a crippling addiction to the previously mentioned faulty chainsaw
Verdict:
this image was always painful but now that we have more context on it, it's straight up just driving me insane
the fact that dongbaek and yi sang are at the front, but dongbaek is hiding her hands.... the fact that gubo is off to the side and looks anxious almost.... the fact that dongrang stands at the back (fully at the back, to me it looks like he's standing behind even the guy he's shoulder-to-shoulder to) and is the only one not looking at the camera, his heart not truly in it...

manifesting his 000 so i can pull him :)
"Once all these flowers have been stained red..."
The new Yi Sang id has me in a death grip and I finished both of these two paintings in 24 hours. Also learning that I love drawing hanbok
Meursault has great taste in women and horrible taste in men but that's ok we still love him
That one Twitter art challenge but with Sinclair
thinking about how each line in "in hell we live, lament" could link to each sinner and how yi sang would be "if you wanted me to speak (why'd you make my voice stutter?)" and how in the wings the protagonist suspects his wife has been giving him sleeping meds instead of painkillers and how faust notes that yi sang's not usually that quiet and that it's a recent development and. Yeah,
disjointed yi sang ramble (canto iv spoilers kind of):
okay I know chapter 4 isn't over yet BUT I can't stop thinking about how the big 000 ids for gregor and sinclair in their chapters (and tbh I think this can be applied to rime shank rodya as well) have them conforming to what people expect of/want from them while yi sang just. Becomes Dongbaek because he no longer has a place in her world and she has no place in his... all they have is the sweet-smelling sense of nostalgia...
it reminds me a lot of this passage from the wings:
additionally, while I think the entire league embodies the wife character to some extent, the direct moments of conflict where she lashes out feel the most. dongbaek to me. also interesting to note that she's the only league member he's been able to properly Fight so far.
also, since this rant was inspired by his new id: "once all these flowers have been stained red only then will "I" bloom as well" to me reads as him trying to destroy his past in an effort to regain his sense of self. hm.
also also I find the fragrance aspect of the bloom ego so interesting when you consider that the protag in the wings sniffs his wife's perfume to remember her....
*saeru voice*: no guys it's okay to define yourself by your grief it's completely healthy and cool and normal I Swear
*sigh* something something the two-dimensionality of saeru's characterisation is a writing flaw, not a feature, and trying to pass it off as a feature whilst berating anyone who sees it as a flaw is uh. A Choice
i feel like gregors roach traits could be read as allegories for PTSD/trauma. obviously the way he got them was a very traumatic experience, but i wanna focus on the war shit and the other genetically modified veterans we see. Like how he grows more buggy when he gets really stressed, and the more traumatized he gets the less physically human he becomes (because trauma dehumanizes you!!). and when he survives the war and tries to live a normalish life, the one thing that keeps it from happening is his cockroach arm. It won’t go away, even if he tries to cut it off, and it lashes out indiscriminately much to his scorn and resentment. like that scene in the subway where it attacks that woman seemed to be followed by mentions of the war and thoughts of it on greg’s part. I also think that the way gregor and all the other insectoid smoke war vets who turned to enkephalin (can’t say i blame them:( ) couldn’t get their lives back and were used and thrown away is like obvs a statement on how the govt/war machine/military industrial complex treats (disabled, but that’s another text post for another time) veterans. not to mention the fact that gregor explained they were operated on without their consent!! gregor and co are seen as disposable, disgusting insects who are less than human. i also think there’s something to be said about the fact that he’s a cockroach specifically. yes, they’re viewed as gross, disgusting pests but they’re also survivors. no matter how disgusting people think they are they don’t die in water and they can literally survive decapitation. also like the way trauma makes you feel so disgusting and tainted and like how your own mind and body don’t belong to you. he can’t look at him own arm/body without remembering that his own mother decided to surgically experiment on him… he consistently talks down on himself for being a roach human hybrid or whatever. he makes me so sad. the way other people treat him like he’s gross too like omfg it makes me sooo mad. he has endured so much dehumanization on so many different fronts :( i hope he has a good support system. anyways i like gregor hes a dilf cockroach milking
scrolling through content for a ship I like and seeing fanart where one of them is aged down to be a child (my ears suddenly start bleeding and the pain in my skull becomes unbearable)

okay, clearing eyes rant i've had in my notes app for months that i'm finally posting to tumblr
okay. snake of clearing eyes. me ga saeru hebi. this fucker. word vomiting here since i've had these thoughts for So Long and i need to put them all somewhere.
clearing is obviously the villain of the story. he is the sole cause of everything bad happening in kagepro. he also represents trauma itself to the mekakushi dan and azami. i believe he is more supposed to be perceived as not a solid character like azami for example, but rather a force.
jin intentionally doesn't really give him a defined personality, same goes with the other snakes. they act upon their namesakes and clearing is no exception. his name, "clearing eyes", is supposed to mean he has more awareness, more sentience, than others. makes sense as he serves as azami's intelligence. due to this, he believes he is "above" the other snakes despite not really being too different from the others. he acts upon his namesake like them. he still serves azami just like them. he doesn't really stand out, which may be why he tries to gain autonomy.
clearing represents everything wrong with the dan and azami, he was born from azami's trauma, he was born from a lack of love, therefore he cannot quite understand it and deems it as a useless human emotion. he doesn't feel love towards azami, it's more devotion. he was created to serve azami as with the other snakes. azami technically is a mother to him as she "gave birth" to him, but he does not view her as such. he only views her as his master. his reason for his actions throughout the story is for the sole purpose of fulfilling the wish that azami made that brought him into existence. he is devoted to this, he is devoted to azami regardless of who else he's serving (ex. kenjiro or marry) and he holds no love for anyone.
clearing really isn't supposed to be viewed as a character like azami or the dan. jin shows this with how he writes clearing, even clearing himself is aware of this. he knows his place in the narrative, he acts exactly how you'd imagine a monster to act. how he *thinks* a monster should act, like having a disregard for the lives and emotions of humans or causing tragedy wherever he goes. his true role is to basically make azami remember her roots, bring her back to her lonely and sorrowful existence as a monster because it's how *he* thinks a monster should live. applying all these human characteristics to a character that intentionally lacks these things is where things tend to go wrong. when you do this with clearing, it takes away from his character, in my opinion. it literally goes against his character.
I've seen a lot of fanart of non-possessed kenjirou with medical equipment but. that man would scream at the sight of blood ngl
