this post is MY “oh man…this doin numbers”. while I have you all here anyone want to hear my thoughts on Out(interrupted by loud foghorn, signaling the breach of an abnormality)

(for those of you interested in hearing some of my Outis thoughts, check the tags. for those not, go in peace 🙏)

one of my favorite things about Dante Limbus Company is that they achieve a level of what I will call “sogginess” rarely seen in the wild (source material), more commonly seen in captivity (fanfiction)…

The insecurity. The inability to understand that they have a positive impact on others without being told outright. The sad, resigned self-deprecation. “I know it’s the same tired old face for you…but here I am” when you re-select them as an announcer (a line which you are literally incapable of seeing during gameplay). The “you guys only love me for my clock 😞” mentality.

Dante wouldn’t ask, “would you still love me if I were a worm?”, because they’d be afraid of a resounding NO.

Not to say Dante doesn’t have their satisfying moments of asserting themselves as manager, but man. What a creature

#I’ve seen people saying that her military mindset gets old after a while #and because of that she’s not that appealing to them #which in theory I get. I think that’s how I feel about Faust a lot of the time #(ie I feel like I see less of her being lame/soggy than the other sinners. but maybe I’m just not paying enough attention)#(but I digress)#BUT I feel like Outis is pretty interesting because a) I have to speculate a lot and b) she does seem pretty lame (positive) in her interact #ions with other sinners #or even the one with Dongrang in Canto IV #her being exceptionally dejected when she can’t play the role of captain in Canto V #whether or not that’s an act it is so fascinating that she got all slumpy and sad before leaving #for all the things she’s said to disparage the abilities of other sinners she did seem somewhat put out about not having their respect #not to mention the Sunshower awakening and corrosion lines.#-> I don’t need…any pointless attention! vs Don’t leave me alone this time (I don’t remember the corrosion verbatim unfortunately)#(but still. my soggy old woman in a fox raincoat)#I think that Outis’ unctuous-ness towards Dante seems like the focal point of their relationship to a lot of people #but even what she says to them in Canto V makes me wonder #is there an extent to which she sympathizes with them?#I mean in Canto IV we see that she doesn’t think especially highly of their abilities #but is there some respect in which she sees them as a legitimate authority figure?#of course with G Corp Outis’ experience of being scapegoated one assumes she has some degree of skepticism towards military hierarchies #I just think it’s also interesting to consider that-#-in addition to just currying favor with her boss she is performing what she sees as her role (supporting her superior)#I don’t even know if this is something super obvious that everyone already agrees on #but local man got a lot of notes for saying things so now he feels like saying things. In Tags #outis lcb #the fact that the Outis canto will be towards the end of the game…stares with my huge orbs #although if Rodya Gregor and Sinclair do actually get elaborated on #maybe Outis won’t get her canto at the End of the game’s lifetime #ok I’m about to discuss how I don’t know how gacha games work #so I think it’s time to stop
