#I'm not good at storytelling

[inefficientstory]

So uh I've never posted about this AU that I made like a year or two ago since I forgot about it but uh here's some year-old art of it I drew a while back.

(It's sideways sorry) But it was recently brought back to my attention when I started writing something 'cause I was bored.

I like to refer to it as the 'Dreamscape AU' and it totally wasn't inspired by the songs 'Kitchen Fork' and 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' nooooooooo no way

But I might post more about it/elaborate on it later on

In case I do, WARNING: THIS AU CONTAINS SONADOW, MEMORY LOSS, VIOLENCE(?)

I finished this comic about a month ago but couldn't bring myself to post it. It started as a simple illustration and then I just kept adding more and more and at some point I had to stop myself and cut the story short. I'm still not entirely satisfied with the result but... well. I like it. That's enough.

Change is coming... and I am change.

Legit keep getting chills and tearing up through this moment of Rei'nia finding her power and becoming a level 1 cleric, and the impact of her action in turning the tide, protecting this safe haven of desperate people and inspiring them to rise up and take control of this fight too- AGENCY. BRAVERY. TRANSFORMATION. HOPE IS NOT FRAGILE, HOPE HAS BLOOD IN HER TEETH AND GETS UP FOR ANOTHER GO

All I want from 2 Old 2 Guard is for Andy to kiss either Nile or Quynh with tongue. It's 2025. I think we need this.

I'm still disappointed how shallow Jinx and Sevika teaming up is. Sevika literally hates Jinx for screwing everything up and potentially ruining their plans for getting independence for Zaun. Her last line to Jinx is literally "I can't wait until you implode and Silco finally gets the message that you're as good for our cause as you were for your family. Jinx". Why would she not want to give up Jinx to Piltover then? ESPECIALLY knowing that this will potentially make Zaun independent? Is it not her primary goal? Besides, does she even know that Jinx killed Silco? A man she was really loyal to, for whose sake she lost her arm, who she respected and hoped will bring the Undercity its long-awaited freedom? And if she finds out that the girl she was so against killed him? Oh brother she would be AFTER HER ASS even more than Piltover.

I'm all for their partnership btw, I think they have a great dynamic, but it has to be REALLY earned. Other people hate Jinx for what she's done to them, but Sevika hates her because she stands in a way of her entire life's purpose. I would even say that they should've dedicated an entire act to their reconciliation instead of the whole Isha crap.

By the way, about the true meaning of home your Gramps kept mentioning… Did you finally get your answer? To me, wherever feels like home is home.

Transcript below the cut:

Iris: Oh no.

Iris: Shit shit shit

Iris: What time is it? Ezra: Nine-thirty, why? Iris: I have to go. Ezra: Can you at least stay for breakfast? It’s almost ready.

Iris: I can’t. I have a family thing today. We’re celebrating my niece’s birthday. Ezra: I thought your niece and nephew weren’t born yet. Iris: Well, she’s not technically my niece. She’s my brother-in-law’s sister’s kid, but she calls me Auntie Iris, so I guess I think of her as my niece.

Ezra: How old is she turning? Iris: Uh… four? Ezra: That’s a fun age. Iris: Yeah, it is, um, I really do have to go. I’m supposed to pick up Sp—the cake at ten.

Ezra: Do you want some company? Iris: No, it’s in the city, and my entire family will be there, it’s a whole thing. Ezra: Okay. Iris: I would invite you, it’s just… I’m not…

Ezra: Iris, it’s okay. There’s no rush. Iris: You’re not mad? Ezra: Why would I be mad? Iris: I don’t know. Just anxious, I guess, I’m sorry.

Ezra: Come here. Everything’s fine, I promise. I hope you have a really good day with your family. Iris: Will I see you for coffee tomorrow? Ezra: Wouldn’t miss it.

...

Spencer: [squealing] Puppies!!

Iris: Really Ash? Asher: What? I told you I wouldn’t get A dog. Iris: So, you got three? Asher: No. One of them is Phoenix’s.

Iris: So, two then? Asher: We had to! They’d already bonded; we couldn’t let them be separated! Iris: [laughs] I knew you’d cave! I’m gonna go get ready.

Asher: No need to rush. With the dogs, we decided it’d be easier to have the party at our park, so we don’t have to leave for another couple of hours. Iris: We’re not going to the city? Asher: Nope. Iris: Great.

I know canonically the chances of charlastor becoming canon are basically nil, but I do think Alastor at least cares about Charlie. You can’t tell me this man is still 100% only manipulating her after he nearly died while fighting for her/her hotel. Originally, it was obviously manipulation but I’m convinced at some point, it turned into genuine care (or, dare I say, affection).

All I'm gonna say is that if Viv wants to break the trope she better have some damn good writing behind it. Nonny, I was in the miraculous fandom for literal YEARS, I still have a soft spot for seasons 1-3 at which point the series ends. There's a lot of tropey bad writing I can forgive.

What I cannot, however, is "subverting" tropes for the sake of subverting them so you feel smarter than everyone else. Yes I'm bitter still and that guyTM can suck a sour egg for wasting nearly a decade of his fans time after continuously mining the fandom for content he then took credit for because he's just THAT GOOD.

Where were we? Oh, right, Hazbin. I think we're a bit more in luck because Alastor is one of Viv's oldest characters and she's definitely more prone to letting the characters evolve over time rather than trying to force characters that developed past their original inception and thus no longer fit the roles into them like a square peg in a round hole. Viv's writing has its problems, and I'm not saying either hellaverse show is some brilliant masterpiece of animation, but at the very least her use of tropes is consistent with the trope she uses. All her current narrative setup seems to indicate that Alastor will grow to care for Charlie, deeply. He already does if we consider that Alastor isn't technically bound by anything to help the hotel. Their arrangement is that he is ordered to help for as long as he so desires.

Until that specific line from the pilot is contradicted I consider it canon still. Technically the pilot is still canon since episode 1 takes place a week after it. Alastor doesn't HAVE to do anything with the hotel if he really doesn't want to. He can walk away at any time, and he probably will; at least in that "I'm developing feelings I don't want for people so I'm going to isolate myself" loner way. But it's too late. He already cares.

Amir's caginess about the question of who Alastor would do anything for is also highly suspect. Like we know one person definitively is his mother. The odds of it being a male character are almost nonexistent based on current characterization. So out of the main cast? Charlie is the most likely candidate. Viv has also confirmed that Alastor likes people not too much like him, but not too different either. Charlie is the one who fits that exactly. Two sides of the same coin. The other's dark reflection; everything they could be if circumstances were different but aren't. Could it be someone else entirely? Yeah sure I guess but we better get some hints as to who before the big reveal or else it wouldn't make any sense.

I'm not saying charlastor has to be canon. But to deny that all current narrative tropes indicate that Alastor is growing to care for Charlie in a deeper but platonic way is just insane to me.

can i be a hater for a second. rogue the episode rly sucked didn't it

the quality of Limbus Company's character writing is such that for every Canto, even if the subject Sinner isn't like an absolute fave of mine or anything, there's just such a strong feeling of mixed compassion, pity, and affection for each that more often than not I end up staying up till odd hours of the morning clearing Canto Dungeons as if I can't sleep until I know our guy is okay.

like the other day after I'd cleared Nocturnal Sweeping and was discussing and theorizing with my brother about Hong Lu I swear I was getting worried enough that I felt a physical reaction like my body tensing up as if I was about to be punched right in the chest. I remember one of the promo taglines for Limbus was "Are you prepared to share the pain?" but I hadn't expected it to get literal like this lol

Go play corru.observer (if you can, the flashing light warning at the start is not a joke), I am absolutely hooked.

The soundtrack is amazing, the art is interesting, the framing device for game mechanics serves the worldbuilding and vice versa, it's weird, and I love it.

I'd find fandom for it, but I now know enough to be easily spoiled on things.
