I'm pretty sure @/selfshipperaffirmations is now using another blog (@/selfshippersimagine). These posts aren't nearly as bad as their previous ones where your F/O is threatening your life and being dicks to you if you're physically disabled/mentally ill but they're still. Yuck (F/O neglecting you and lying/making empty promises on purpose)
Ever mentioned in a post that you’re looking for artists to commission and suddenly everyone’s in your DMs saying they can draw anything you like including comics? Sadly those accounts tend to be people stealing art, using Generative AI without disclosing it, or even passing off traced art as their own claiming the client wanted that specific pose. These accounts also target fanfic writers so beware! Never trust anyone who randomly DMs you trying to pressure you into a commission and won’t take no for an answer.
I also do commissions by the way. If you repost this on a funny meme blog for monetary gain later on you better pay me.
“elliephant-draws” seems like one of those gen ai using accounts. All the art shown so far is varying wildly in style and one looks very ai-generated of cats.
I don't think these are AI generated, but if you happen to have her other artworks saved, let me know. Otherwise, she is innocent until proven guilty.
Everyone's so focused on Grace's primary hypothesis (life doesn't need water) remaining unsupported that you're ignoring his secondary hypothesis (the Goldilocks zone is for idiots) being proven correct
Limbus Company is interesting among gacha games in that rather than introduce a billion different characters to choose from, you have just 12. However, for each of your 12 Sinners, you can obtain a variety of "IDs", which essentially let you turn them into a different version of themselves with different abilities. This is neat both from a gameplay and a story perspective, as most IDs put a spin on a character's backstory. The depressed inventor gets to be a depressed art student, the guy with a bug arm gets a robot arm instead, the starry-eyed dreamer gets to feel what its like to lose all hope, etc.
It'd be easy to just give everyone IDs that directly correlate to their gameplay - i.e. give Pyro all the Burn IDs, give Scout all the Haste IDs, etc - but that's not how Limbus works. Identities in Limbus are basically AU versions that resonate with a characters story. Of course, there are a bunch of generic filler IDs - most characters have Liu or N corp IDs for instance. The ones presented here are simply the ones that most strongly are emphasized. Where possible, I'd also like to give each merc multiple statuses to choose from, but that's less of a priority than making sure they fit.
Since most faction IDs are shared between multiple characters, the name of the Sinner their kit would be most like is also listed.
Scout
The Middle Little Sister (Donqui) - is literally a little brother. On one hand, he's not exactly the type to tank damage (bonk doesnt count). On the other, he'd absolutely want tattoos that make you stronger.
Kurokumo Wakashu (Heathcliff) - For all his foolhardiness, Scout is hardly suited to lead. But he'd love busting kneecaps as a second-in-command; he died and his heaven involved being best bros with God.
Cinq Association East Section 3 (Donqui) - Fast, dodgy, talks a big game. Enjoys a sandwich or a bucket of chicken on occasion.
T Corp Excision Staff (Donqui) - Scout does seem to take a lot of Donqui's stuff, huh? Zipping around like he's on borrowed time suits him. Introspection like Rodion doesn't.
Soldier
G. Corp Head Manager (Outis) - "As of this moment, anyone who frowns at me will be dishonorably discharged." "You are all dishonorably discharged." Which one's Outis and which one's Soldier?
Deyvat Association North Section 3 (Rodion) - Despite his military commander persona, Soldier doesn't really care about rules and regulations. The only ones that matter to him are ones that exist in his head, like "America #1!" and ones that will result in him dying if he breaks them - and I'm not sure about the second.
Lobotomy EGO: Sunshower (Heathcliff) - Many soldier cosmetics and even weapons present him as a vagrant.
Lobotomy EGO: Red Eyes & Penitence (Ryoshu) - From the bottom of the barrel to the Strongest. He's the most all-around class in TF2, with cosmetics like the Team Captain being associated with glory and awe. Soldier doesn't really care what he's throwing down with, he's going to have a good time. Remember Expiration Date? He sounded absolutely delighted to be thrown around by the bread monster. Also, senseless violence - again, something Ryoshu's familiar with.
Pyro
Firefist Office Survivor (Gregor) - It'd be easy to just slap every burn ID here and call it a day, but there's a little more complexity to IDs than that. Firefist is all about avenging his comrades, much as a Pyro will hunt down a spy after their engineer's nest goes down. Also, incomprehensible screaming.
Molar Boatworks Fixer (Ishmael) - Imagine a depiction of Pyro as a mysterious being in a diving suit instead of a WW2 gas mask. That's not quite the same as what Ishmael is doing, but the rubber suit connection helps - I chose this instead of the Pequod Harpooner for the idea of Diving Suit pyro. Also, pyroshark.
Effloresced EGO: Spicebush (Yi Sang) - Many pyro cosmetics replace their head with something else. In this ID, it'd be a branch of flowers. In the comics, Pyro is also depicted as a CEO of an engineering company, but it's an achievement that they take no pleasure in.
N Corp Grobhammer (Meursault) - Pyro's probably a human under that mask? Heavy might disagree though; "I fear no man. But that thing... It scares me."
Demoman
Twinhook Pirate First Mate (Gregor) - Pirate mode.
Lobotomy Remnant Yuri Faust - Eyepatch.
Molar Office Fixer (Outis) - Very effective at his job, despite the alcoholism.
LCE EGO: Ardor Blossom Star (Faust) - Will blow up everyone in the room, including himself.
Wild Hunt (Heathcliff) - Gets more powerful with each beheading, wields a (headless horseless) horsemann's blade, has a mansion to come back to. (It's funny because WH!Heathcliff has a *headless horse* which he's usually not mounted on, so "headless horseless" applies to him as well as Demoman's weapon, which is the blade of a horseman who lacks both a head and a horse.)
Heavy
Middle Little Brother (Meursault) - Taciturn, but very much capable of kicking butt and taking names.
R Corp 4th Pack Rhino (Meursault) - Big, heavy, and nearly impossible to stop once he gets going.
Pequod Harpooner (Heathcliff) - Both serve as the Big Guy of their group. Also, both tend to use few words.
Dieci Association South Section 4 (Rodion) - Food, punching, incredible durability, and an education that he uses more than you'd expect. What more could you ask for?
Engineer
Multicrack Office Rep (Faust) - the brains of the operation, plus robotic limbs.
Rosespanner Workshop Fixer (Gregor) - Made his robot arm himself.
The One Who Grips (Faust) - I'm not saying he's a robo-racist, especially since he's literally the first one to chop of his hand to get a metal replacement. But engineers can get pretty fixated on solving "practical problems" while ignoring ethics.
T Corp Class 2 Excision Staff (Rodion) - Steampunk gears do suit him, but the guy loves inventing. If his job was to take away other peoples' inventions I think he'd be pretty depressed too.
Medic
The Princess of La Manchaland (Rodion) - You know those "medic girlfriend" loadouts that are permanently attached to their boyfriend's rectum? Basically a fancy trophy next to a screenshot of 16 dominations and not much more? That's what it feels like to be Dulcinea.
The Ring Pontillist Student (Yi Sang) - If Medic had gone into art instead of medicine.
R. B. Chef de Cuisine (Ryoshu) - He has his own reasons for wanting to dissect people, but this is as good an excuse as any.
W Corp L2 Cleanup Agent (Hong Lu) - There aren't many IDs designed heal or help others tank better. Being at home with and unbothered by gore seems like a Medic thing too.
Sniper
Lobotomy EGO: Magic Bullet (Outis) - He's a sniper.
Full-Stop Office Fixer (Heathcliff) - He's a sniper.
Cinq Association West Section 3 (Meursault) - "Meet the Sniper" was basically him liveblogging a day at work.
N Corp Kleinhammer (Heathcliff) - Snipin's a good job, mate. But if there aren't any good jobs around... Well, you do what you have to in order to get food on the table.
Spy
Cinq Association South Section 4 (Outis) - "Let's settle this like gentlemen!" Unlike Sinclair, he's confident in his own abilities, so I'm matching him to Outis instead.
Edgar Family Chief Butler (Ryoshu) - Knives, professionalism, and being two-faced like the person this ID is based on.
The Barber of La Manchaland (Outis) - Has a certain sense of style other mercs (read: scout) aspire to.
Seven Association South Section 4 (Faust) - Aside from being very capable at investigation, he's willing to expound at length about the things he enjoys. For him it's less likely to be tea than fancy suits though, but there's no shortage of suits in the City.
You know, I always wondered how in TF2, Scout could even drink Bonk! considering it’s made out of atomic radiation. That’s why I made a Headcanon that doesn’t try to explain how Scout can drink Bonk!, but how he’s the only guy on the team who can.
I can imagine the scene:
Scout comes back from a mission carrying a fresh six-pack of Bonk!. "Aw, c'mon guys. Ya keep sayin' it's dangerous. It's just soda."
Engineer squints at the can. "Scout, this thing is hummin'."
The can is, in fact, emitting a faint humming noise.
Scout cracks one open. The liquid inside glows bright red, because something about Scout's personality screams cherry soda addict.
Like, imagine cracking open a can and getting:
Strong cherry flavor
Ridiculous amount of sugar
Carbonation that burns your throat
Enough caffeine to stop your heart
And, apparently, trace amounts of uranium
Scout: "Aw yeah, dis is da good stuff."
Everyone else: "SCOUT, IT'S GLOWING."
Scout: "Dat's how ya know it's fresh."
So eventually Scout convinces the others to try it.
Medic exams it: "Hmm. It appears to be an ordinary fruit beverage."
And since I also love the idea that Bonk! tastes genuinely amazing. Not "energy drink" amazing—actually delicious.
Because if it tasted awful, nobody would understand Scout's obsession. But if it tastes like the world's greatest cherry soda?
Suddenly the mercs understand.
Engineer takes one sip. "...Okay, Ah get it."
Spy takes one sip. "...Mon Dieu, dis is excellent."
Heavy takes one sip. "Leetle man has good taste."
Five minutes later...
Heavy is on his knees coughing up neon-green sludge. Demoman is vomiting so hard he's convinced he's seeing God. Soldier is yelling that the colors have become communists. Spy is trying—and failing—to maintain his dignity while throwing up into a trash can.
Meanwhile Scout is standing there with another Bonk! in hand. "...Ya babies done?"
Then Pyro drinks one.
Everyone watches.
Nothing happens.
Scout immediately points. "See?!"
Pyro suddenly grows a third arm.
Pyro looks down. The arm gives a thumbs-up.
Pyro gives a happy muffled squeal.
Medic’s glasses fall from his face. "PYRO HAS ACQUIRED AN ADDITIONAL LIMB."
The mercs never let him share Bonk! again.
Except Soldier. Soldier keeps trying because he believes the mutations are "patriotic upgrades."
This results in:
Two extra teeth.
Temporary bioluminescence.
A week where his left eye spoke French.
Scout remains completely unaffected throughout all of this and continues insisting: "Dude, it's literally just soda."
Which somehow makes the entire thing even funnier. 😂😂😂
It's very TF2 logic: the mystery isn't why the radioactive drink exists. The mystery is why the loud Boston idiot is the only organism on Earth capable of safely consuming it.
As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."
Fuck her.
Your shitty children's series isn't more important than people's lives.
