in Limbus the symbolism of "Lust" skills and EGO is about the desire to share feelings with others. This is a particularly important theme in Canto 7 - the Bloodfiends create Kindred to both literally and metaphorically lessen the pain of their existence, like how we see Sancho in the Checkup Intervallo losing control of her hunger since the hunger of all of the Manchegan Bloodfiends is now concentrated in her, and we see in the Canto flashbacks that First Kindred Don created Kindred in large part so he would be less lonely. The other reason why he created Kindred, it's implied that the Bloodfiends were in painful situations, like Sancho who we see homeless and likely suicidal, before he took pity on them and turned them. Sancho in particular, he turned her because he wanted to make her happy. This idea of sharing not just pain but joy is how the Sinner are able to reach out to Don and convince her to stay with the company by showing interest in her love of Fixers.

(that moment in Canto 7, there's no way for me to not see it as a sort of ultimate moment of Autistic Joy - for many autistics our special interests are a large part of the lens through which we view the world. the other Sinners had ridiculed Don for her obsession in the past, but at this point many of them also see the value in her stories and are able to share the feelings she finds in them and that's really beautiful)

On another note, other than Don, the other Sinner with a Lust base EGO is Ryoshu. Seemingly contrary to this theme of sharing feeling, Ryoshu is one of the most emotionally closed off of the Sinners (second only to Meursault). But she's also an artist, and what else is art about other than making the viewers feel something?

The more I look at Don in this event the more I just think “Oh so she’s just turbo-repressing Sancho now,”

Donqui is so compatible with Queenie she risks losing herself to her. But Queenie (and Donqui for that matter) is nothing like Sancho, who feels weirdly absent here.

Very fitting too that QoH is tied to the suit of Hearts which traditionally in the Tarot is Cups, representing water. What did Sancho do when she wanted to erase every bad memory of her past and self? She drank from the River of Oblivion. And that’s how Donqui was born!

And sure, part of it is that this Don never regained her memories, but I also think there’s a subconscious push on her part to lean into Queenie’s influence. Which in turn, is Sancho’s own desire to erase herself.

Also note the Envy affinity which can mean two things: the “hatred” she feels to those who go against her rigid sense of morality (thus a personal attack on her, thus “villains” in her eyes) or, wanting what someone else has. Like the way Envy Peccatulae mimic Sinner IDs. She mimics Queenie so closely because she craves the ideal that magical girls represent, to further distance herself from her nature as a Bloodfiend.

This all probably sound like insane rambling but I really think QoH Don is just trying to bury Sancho in an effort to push down what she hates most about herself (her Bloodfiend nature that is incompatible with humanity). And ironically she’s copying an Abnormality to seem more “human”.

I remember rambling to my friend about Hollyberry being the only one who could notice something is wrong in Eternal Sugar's Paradise because she's numbed herself with enough hollyberry juice that it would take more than just a simple taste of sweetness to make her fall really fall for the illusion. Hollyberry would feel something wrong because it's too peaceful compared to what she knew Beast-Yeast for it's harsh and unforgivable environment.

[chessboredom]

This is what Shamil foreshadowed behind the Holbe puppet where she looks depressed looking at the sheild because it's rendered useless in the Paradise where there is nothing that's in need of protection that also makes HER useless.

Like, the reason why she left her shield/Soul Jam in the first place after the Dark Flour War because she was living the guilt of not being able to protect her friend. She thinks she doesn't deserve it and doesn't consider herself anything to the point she changes her name and lie to everyone and herself about her identity.

The entire plan to go in Beast-Yeast was to vanquish the supposed evil Beast only to be greeted by a Paradise of happiness. She thrives off of the victory in the every end of an adventure, but in this one it looks like it's impossible since there's nothing to be defeated. Everyone else is happy because it's the first time they ever went out to expect a war but arrive in a peaceful environment. Holbe, on the other hand, is not very convinced as seen by the look in her face that contrasts the usual smile she shows. It only gives her the feeling of uselessness which makes her alienate from everyone else once again.

not aromantic but I believe in their beliefs.

"there's no platonic explanation for this" try harder bucko

[kiwimintlime]

love is a beautiful wonderful multifaceted nebulous thing that shouldn't be reduced to the strict bounds of Tier One: Romance and Tier Two: Friends. get weird with it. love your friends deeply, wildly, passionately and platonically. cowards

[sellieloves]

ik this isnt art and i dont,,, usually do analysis/rambling posts (?) but i needed to cry abt it

the Japanese title for the BGM in the title screen for Wings of Eternity is "あたしを輝かせてくれるのはお前だけ", which roughly translates to "You’re the Only One Who Makes Me Shine"

(the Korean ver. has a similar title 一 너만이 나를 빛나게 하리니 一 I can't exactly understand Korean yet unfortunately so I went with the Japanese title since I can read that, although according to the accounts of some JP/KR people on twt they seem to have similar enough meanings even if the wording is slightly different? Feel free to correct me though, since again I can’t understand Korean huwee)

I've been insane thinking abt what this implies, like is this how Golden Cheese feels about Burning Spice in the end?? "The only one who can make her shine"??? Unless she's talking abt someone else, although I have no clue who else it could be?

I'd like to thank the JP/KR accounts on twt for bringing this to my attention (the specific tweet is this by @/ckrn_latte https://x.com/ckrn_latte/status/1869347782781460676 )

@inkyprince guess who finally posted it after like. two weeks 😭 thanks for the enthusiasm btw!! im happy someone wanted to see this hehe

also shoutout to @burningcheese-merchant for forcing my hand to post /lh and lee but idk if you wanna be tagged 👉👈

insane jp first person pronoun ranting under the cut

also just to add, the title specifically uses あたし (atashi) and not 私 (watashi) for "I/me"

I only noticed this bcus I'm like insane abt her, but Golden Cheese uses "watashi" most of the time. It's mostly considered a somewhat polite way of referring to oneself, although it's normal for fem people to use it casually (White Lily is an example)

However, in kingdom interactions specifically with her fellow Ancients, she uses "atashi", a more informal/casual form of the pronoun! Since they’re her best friends and they have such a deep bond, she feels more casual around them,,,, so cute ueee

she still does use “watashi” at the council at the end of Episode 18, however this can just be because it’s a formal event

PS. She actually still uses “watashi” in Beast-Yeast 5-6 around Burning Spice, so it’s very interesting that the title of this track uses “atashi” instead,,,,

[gh0stblood-bat]

I will always love the found family trope. Broken people finding and choosing each other over and over again. people who become each other’s home. a group of misfits that somehow fit together perfectly. patched up souls who may have been lost on their own but make sense together. there’s something so fucking beautiful about love that isnt born from obligation but from choice. they see the worst in each other and stay anyway. I eat that shit up

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I fell asleep in my friends' arms. It was eleven at night, we were tired, curled up in a small pile on my tiny bed. I had my head buried in my roommate's side, and one of my closest friend's hand on my shoulder, steadying me. It was quiet and nothingness and peace and their heartbeats in my ears, my hands in their hair.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

We pack four people to that little bed, you know. Laps used as footrests, collarbones as pillows, little lights like moonlight in rustic yellow bathed on their faces. The TV plays an anime. The words are repeated by my dear friend on my shoulder, curled close. My legs are asleep; my roommate may be, too.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

The cat curls on top of our criss cross mess of legs and arms and heads on chests to absorb the warmth of us all. She purrs in contented peace. When my roommate and I are left alone in the quiet, she cries, and watches the door for our friends' return.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I will never kiss them but the top of their heads. I will never touch but the warmth of their arms. I will never take more than what's freely given, and in return I put my glasses on the bedside table fashioned from a guitar amp, and when I lean into their sides, I pick up my vulnerability and place it in their capable, tender hands.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I sing for them. I cry for them. I work and I run and I withstand the worst of the world for them, because some days I get to cradle their forehead on my shoulder and some days I get to see their shining eyes.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

Maybe to you. But look beyond explanation. I love them. With my heart in my unsteady hands, with my nose pressed to the side of their head, with the buzzing in my feet and the warmth all around Iike the sunset pushing into the window.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

Is it enough to say I love them? With no strings attached? With reckless abandon and utter devotion and freedom and kindness and fear?

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I cannot explain it any clearer. I love my friends. There is no more to say.
