i decided to make a bunch of free-to-use (with credit) limbus company icons!

I had originally just meant to make Sinclair, Yi sang, and Don quixote icons, but I got worried and ended up taking requests for other icons i should make on twitter. So all icons after those three characters were specifically requested on twitter

Ishmael icon I made for my discord server mimicking prerelease art we have for some of the sinners :) I wanted to get a new icon on there to celebrate canto 5 but completely forgot to share it here😭

i think its kinda cute that anglos think the first line of pride and prejudice is the greatest thing on earth like. i mean it's a pretty good line to set the stage for what you're going to be reading about and i'm sure its staying power speaks to its favour but. forget about what the actual book is and what it means for a second just think about that first line in abstract. it is. mediocre.

Outis' watch being broken is probably a symbolic thing. Outis comes across as someone incredibly practical "all-we-had-during-my-marching-days-was-a-pinch-of-salt" and as someone who wouldn't hold any nolstalgia or attachment for things. Watches also, obviously, track time- a broken watch can't do its job. Odysseus was away from home for 20 years. Telemachus when Athena meets him seems resigned to the idea his father is already dead or otherwise never returning("Even when people do sometimes say that he is coming, we no longer heed them; we shall never see him again."). A broken watch can no longer keep time.

Why does Outis hold onto it so dearly, than?

Chat should I talk about how Ahab told Queequeg to divorce her wife in the Gasharpoon boss fight?

Trick question. This isn't twitter. I am not bound by the word limit here.

In the literal sense, Ahab is telling Queequeg to sever the Knot. But what is the Knot to Queequeg? It's the bond between her and Ishmael.

On a visual sense, I think the ropes on Queequeg's body could correspond to the chains on the Middle's.

And, what does the Middle's chains represent?

We have this voiceline from Meursault's Middle ID.

We can infer that the ropes on Queequeg serve a similar purpose, but they aren't chain anymore. They are the ropes she purposefully tied on herself and Ishmael:

Not only in the scene where Queequeg took Ishmael out of the Whale oil, but also in the fact that Ishmael held onto Queequeg's rope to live and return to land.

The rope, the Knot, represents their connection to each other, but this is what Queequeg had to say in Canto V:

While Ishmael is desperately (puns intended) to hold onto their relationship, Queequeg already knew one of them is doomed. The rope is already cut. And she cut it on Ahab's order.

So yes. Ahab kind of widowed Queequeg, and when it turned out that her wife was alive, she ordered her to divorce. It is also reminisced of the Little Mermaid's sisters telling her to use the Sea Witch's dagger to kill the Prince to save herself.

By the way, her iconic: Rope. Grab tight. Or sink. is not about Ishmael most likely. It's about herself. It's about herself. She was the one who didn't grab tight onto the rope and sank. You can analyse it further by saying her not grabbing tight to the rope is akin to her letting go of their relationship and her own affection in Ahab's order.

Also, Queequeg has 2 main interactions with the rope: tying it or cutting it. Tying it is associated with Ishmael, loving her, having a future with her, rescuing her (twice). The act of cutting it is associated with loyalty(?) for Ahab, separation from Ishmael, and even the act of hurting herself, using the same dagger.

Oh right. Queecliff's third skill is called "Sever Knot", which is an envy skill and has more buffs with envy resonance :]

This is the perfect segue to Queequeg's sin analysis-

I finished Moby Dick. So, to continue my former post(s) documenting my thoughts, here we are (spoilers ahead):

captain ahab: i am once again asking hast thou seen the white whale

Narrator, for the 5 millionth time describing captain ahab: "MONOMANIACAL. MONOMANIAC. MONOMANIA."

I was thinking "the homosexual themes everyone talks about are really exaggerated apparently…" and then I got to the chapter about sperm squeezing

Stubb meeting with the French in chap 91 had the exact vibe of a filler episode on a comedy sitcom

there are a lot of moments that reminded me of The Office ngl like i could just imagine stubb in the little interview chair just talking. so much meme material. he's seriously just doing his own thing. the little random characters like the blacksmith and carpenter just talking shit and side-eyeing ahab in the background lmaoooo

Saint George didn't kill a dragon, it was a whale #THETRUTHREVEALED #WHALETRUTHERS

It would have been hilarious if the British people told Ahab that they already killed Moby Dick already before he could get to it. I was so hoping that would happen. Bonus points if it was the Rachel after he'd turned them away.

Ahab discusses the topic of madness a lot. It's almost like he's… mad...

I vote Ahab for the most Byronic hero to ever Byronic… Heathcliff and Rochester have nothing on him… The origin of the Byronic hero, Byron's titular character from the narrative poem Childe Harold, is literally mentioned by name in the novel and had to be a blatant inspiration - it could not be more obvious! (I have yet to encounter the famed Byronic heroes of Russian literature, most notably Eugene Onegin, a work where Byron is also blatantly name-dropped).

Everyone thinking Queequeg was dying and having a coffin made to his measurements and filled with grave goods at his direction and then him literally climbing into the coffin to test it out and then waiting silently to die…. then all of a sudden getting better and saying he chose to recover bc he remembered he had something on his to-do list….. iconic

Ishmael referring to Queequeg as "my Queequeg…" omg. Queerqueg

Queequeg drawing figures like the ones on his tattoos omg… au story where Queequeg is an artist/tattoo artist when???

I was literally saying "AWWWWW" out loud when Ahab and Pip were having their little moments

The irony of Ahab abandoning the Rachel then it coming back for Ishmael… the coffin lifeboat… etc… good stuff…

okay ahab is my man but yeah he was an asshole to the captain of rachel.

also feel bad for tashtego. he wanted that gold doubloon so bad and ahab was like SIKE, MOTHERFUCKER! umm tashtego did not get cut out of a whale by queequeg to deal with ur shit ahab!

Once again wanting a Black Sails/Moby Dick AU… I found this essay about the similarities between Flint/Ahab https://ijms.nmdl.org/article/view/22389/14361

They only have like 2-3 little moments together but like… Starbuck/Ahab kind of outdoing Ishmael/Queequeg there for a moment… chaps 132/134… oh my godddddddddddddd whyyyyyyy

Captain Ahab's moments in chapters 36/37 AAAAAHHHHH you will see me being normal about this

I noted some of my favorite Ahab moments/chapters and they are 36/37/41/70/99/108/109/113/115/116/119/125/129/132/134/135. Like I may seriously just re-read those chapters (no offense to Melville's whale facts, Stubb's jokes, & Pip's insanity)

the end is kind of similar to the great gatsby in the sense that you finally realize the entire novel was actually written for him to cope with his grief-related trauma & then suddenly it all makes sense. the lingering, the sentimentality regarding seemingly insignificant details or people, the meandering/digressing/procrastinating getting to the end, etc.

there are actually several moments -- i don't know if he actually referred to ahab or the others in past-tense specifically, but there were several moments where i felt like i kind of thought he was giving away the end before he did (it wasn't a shock to me bc i read about the end prior, but still)
