Y'know, I find it really interesting (and hilarious) that somebody can Corrode into something that looks even freakier (or at least weirder) than the E.G.O's source Abnormality. I have to wonder if they could freak/weird-out their matching Abnormalities lmao.
Putting a bunch of text under the cut.
Using the E.G.Os/Abnos in the images as examples:
The Rose Hunter is at least arsed to look vaguely like a normal dude 90% of the time (discounting his thorny stem/root lower half as seen in the E.G.O splash art background for Hong Lu's version of Lasso). Corroded Lasso Faust is similar.
Corroded Lasso Hong Lu, however, is basically a rose with two long stems tied into lassos and his "lower body" connected directly to the horse, with only part of his ponytail left. Not even getting into the fact that both his "torso" and the horse's abdomen are "bleeding" rose petals and the fact that the horse's rein is tied around Hong Lu's neck akin to a noose. He actually reminds me a bit of a Nuckelavee with the really long arms and being directly connected to the horse.
The Heavenly Executioner's Scribe is a pretty simple statue-looking thing. Meur's Corrosion is a bit funky with the little hands on his wings, his floating hands, and funky mask...
But his Corrosion is nothing compared to whatever the hell Corroded Pursuance Rodion has going on lmao. She's got chains and she seems to have eyes on her eyes. Eyes for days.
Der Fluchschütze is a variant of Der Freischütz but red, basically. Pretty simple design, nothing fancy.
Both of the Fell Bullet Corrosions are pretty goddamn weird compared to Der Fluchschütze's design, with Heathcliff's version turning him into a giant heart filled with guns while Yi Sang's version turns him into a sentient reflection stuck in a jury-rigged mirror+gun setup, but Yi Sang's version of Fell Bullet isn't in the game yet, so we do not have the sprite, so I just put Heathcliff's Fell Bullet Corrosion there. To be fair, it deserves to be here. Der Fluchschütze would definitely be confused as to how it could cause... that.
The Dreaming Electric Sheep is... Well, it's a sheep alright. With really long, clawed legs and a bunch of spikes sticking out of its wool, but it's a sheep alright.
Meur Corrodes into this E.G.O hard. Compared to Don's Corrosion, he goes full Sheep. Which just makes me wonder why he's got that weird Demogorgon-looking meat-flower-flap face in his attack, while the Dreaming Electric Sheep's version of the "Electric Screaming" attack does not have that. Sheep Meur, y u have weird meat flower face. His head is also inside the wool 90% of the time for some reason...
New meme idea: Subjecting Sinclair to The Horrors™ (Soul Fuckery Edition), feat. the Doorman. It just feels like something he'd say when subjecting Sinclair to his ult lmao. The Sinclairs deserve some Horrors. For Enrichment.
Character portraits pulled from the wiki.
Image text will be under the readmore.
Doorman's text:
Greetings, Sinclair. A potential thought for you both: What if the Patrons decide to give into their own flighty natures with your wish? What if they find interesting the potential of, as opposed to fully splitting your souls apart as you both desire, instead fully merging them both in essence and in mind? Such a fusion... the creation of a new being entirely? Would that new entity even feel any attachment to its component beings? Those old feelings, memories? Would that be fucked up or what?
Sinclair's text (text is duplicated to imply that both Henry and Savannah are speaking at the same time):
I couldn't help myself. I got reminded of the stark difference between Meur and Don's "Electric Screaming" Corrosions, which ended up getting linked with this meme in my connection-obsessed brain and I ended up concocting this. These are all of the Corrosion idle sprites that are on wiki.gg (so no Bygone Days Ishmael).
The four parts are "Hear it Hurgling" at the top, "Beaſt" on the right, "Just a Dude" on the bottom, and "Some Kind of THING" on the left. Things ended up getting really crowded in the bottom, left, and middle generally on the left side lmao.
I'll put a blank version under the cut for anyone else who wants to use it. Go nuts 👍
Simon, why did you design Arlie's fancy killing machine body Like That. Arlie rocking a tits-out look under the jacket is an Arlie thing, but the articulated human toes and the inhumanly-long segmented robot tongue? Really?
Ref images for the shenanigans under a cut.
Tiddies out
Grippers
Fuckass tongue (that he also decided to wear a skinned human tongue over the tip of)
(Though I am keeping "that" as vague as possible, this still contains spoilers for Limbus Company's Murder on the WARP Express Intervallo. You have been warned.)
Had this idea in my head for a while now. People had already done jokes about Don possibly being the oldest Sinner, though more to juxtapose her chaotic gremlin energy and not... well, "that" which was revealed in Murder on the WARP Express lmao.
Basically me just throwing silliness about who should be the youngest Sinner, based on comedic potential.
Who do you think would be funniest as the Actual Youngest Sinner? 83c
Also, read the word "Toobman" in Tyl Regor's voice for the intended effect lmao. Yes, "Gear Aging Moment" is indeed a Guilty Gear reference, I couldn't help myself.
Image text (without fancy text formatting like italics or strikethrough) will be under a cut.
So, ever since... that was revealed, I just have to wonder...
Which Sinner Would be the Funniest to Reveal as the Youngest?
Sinclair
Being the youngest even with supernatural entities on the team would be frustrating for him (and funny)
Him being so murderey while still being so young is funny
He's generally just inherently funny
Faust
Rather naive without connection to the Faust Discord™ (somebody toddler-proof Mephi)
Associated with Alchemy, Homunculi, and the Children in the Flash abnormality (possible Toobman?)
Meursault
Don directly calls him "young Meursault" (knew the second she saw him)
No wonder he seems to have so much trouble with people, he's still trying to learn how to people
It could be a rubberneck-inducing Gear Aging Moment™ which would be hilarious
(I'm totally not biased what are you talking about)
So I got and uptied the new Heishou Mao Outis ID and...
RRGRGRRGRGRG THAT'S NOT HOW ANIMAL LEGS WORK. I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY "REVERSE-JOINTED" ANIMALS, LET ALONE HARES. THE WORD THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS "DIGITIGRADE" (though Hares are also plantigrade at rest). DI-GI-TI-GRADE. GOT THAT? NOT "REVERSE-JOINTED".
[Image Description: A monochrome piece with three simplified character heads and text between them. A simplified Meursault head on the left, a simplified Don Quixote with sparkly eyes and a smile on the right, and the Queen of Hatred's base form on top. The text in the middle reads: Defines themselves by seeking happiness/love through "usefulness" and/or "purpose", primarily through selflessly serving others, and having some (hidden) fear/resentment over the idea of being "useless" and "thrown away" as a result. End description.]
Woe, "Queen of Hatred E.G.O (In the Name of Love and Hate) for both Meursault and Don" Propaganda be upon ye.
Something I've noticed while I was ruminating about Meur and Don's possible "attunement" with the Queen of Hatred abno,with how much the "Don should have QoH E.G.O" and "Meur should have QoH E.G.O" groups have been getting louder lately lmao. Who says we can't have both?
Both of them could synchronize with the funny snek magical girl more than they'd care to admit... Y'know, might as well copy-paste my thoughts on QoH Meur, considering how many people have written whole-ass dissertations about QoH Don.
Copy-Pasted from Discord:
QoH seems to define herself by "usefulness" or "purpose". When there's evil in the world, she has a purpose! She's happy to serve, in the name of Love, when there's a villain on the loose! But without evil, without a villain, she's "useless", and risks being… thrown away.
QoH seeks Love (and technically Happiness, though that's technically more King of Greed), while Meur has been attempting to seek happiness. QoH is eager to serve, until she is considered "useless" and goes ballistic, while Meur tends to obey without complaint and both has difficulty expressing his emotions and was probably taught to repress them heavily, and probably feels some bottled-up resentment over the idea of being discarded…
Copy-Paste End.
Does any of that make sense or am I just looking too deep into what most people I've seen consider just a joke/meme lmao. It's PMoon, who knows rofl.
