Suppose Ryoshu, Outis and Don had a lie detecting curse so their noses grow like Pinocchio. How would that go for each of them?
Ryōshū :
I feel like she just wouldn't lie. She doesn't have anything to hide, and even if she did, she wouldn't feel the need to mention it.
Generally, she's a shameless person who isn't afraid to speak her mind about anything, so she probably wouldn't be too affected??
Though I think it'd be really funny if she did something by accident and her chuuni ass couldn't go all "I.M.T.D.T (I meant to do do that). She seems like the type to get angry out of embarrassment, lol.
Outis :
She's a trained military woman, I think she'd know exactly how to talk without triggering the curse
BUT then there's the boot licking problem.
Yes manager, that was a great i--- nose grows
After that, she'd fall silent, and her silence spoke louder than words. It was clear she had nothing good to say about the manager. If she had, she would've spoken out.
Very awkward situation all around.
Don :
Oh God. Oh goddd.
She's so stupid and chuuni and and and
"A KNIGHT SPEAKS NAUGHT BUT TRUTH! THIS TASK SHALL BE BUT A TRIFLE FOR ONE SUCH AS I!"
Then proceeds to talk about something stupid to make her seem cooler, her nose grows
Tries to explain herself, grows more
Situation gets only worse from there onward
Can't seem to shut up
She'd probably end up with the highest lie count

If sinners were to be bugs/insects etc, which one would they be?
Okay okay okay. This is a really exciting ask, thank you! I did lots of thinking about this one :3
Ish gets a pea leaf weevil. First of all, not biology based, but weevils are generally liked by people on the internet and I like the way they look. Some of pea leaf weevils look kind of ginger too. So that’s a bonus^^ The main thing about this one that it can survive in a lot of places, that little bug is determined to get by and will not be bothered by a simple relocation. I feel like, that kind of goes along with sailing and being on the move, you have to learn to be versatile. But they are known to like dry places, right? Well, my funniest reason to pick this little guy is that a few years back the country was swarmed with articles because uh oh. Turns out they enjoy the sea a lot. And take residence there as well. And if they got some business, they will not stop just because you’re sitting in the way. The seaside is their place, you’re just visiting it 😌😌
Unfortunately, the common pond skater goes to Sinclair. It would make more sense to give that one to Ishmael instead, but I based this one on behaviour only. See, they are just some common little guys, I like them quite a lot. From what I’ve read they move around quite a lot out of fear of being eaten. But, other than being quite frantic and looking harmless, they are uh… well intense. They can bite you and you *will* feel it, I promise. Don’t pick them up, because as scared as they are, they are capable of fighting back if they need to. Plus, just like many other insects, they are partial to things we could consider off-putting such as cannibalism. I picked this species since they remind me of the ‘he’s just a little guy -> oh, he’s a little f-ed up actually” and that fits the vibes I have from him
Meursaul gets a louse. I don’t like them.
After some thought I have to give Outis a giant horsefly. They look chill, many are, based on personal experience it’s very nice to interact with them. But then again, if the female needs it, she’ll bite you. Nothing personal, simple conflict of interest. I feel like that kind of fits with Outis being a bit… suspicious in her intro but they being so patient with Dante (even if it’s not all that genuine). Also I just like those horseflies :3
I see Don as a grasshopper. This one’s fairly easy - she moves around a lot, distinct fair hair (like the grasshoppers signature light green), is easily recognisable. The freaky anatomy and facts are kind of a bonus here. Besides, they are, quite literally, ancient. And Don’s source isn’t all that recent either
With its… quite different name in my native language, the black beauty walking stick just kind of fits Heathcliff. Being named (again, in my language) the devil scare, it’s known for a few things. Of course first and foremost for its intimidation tactics. They look a bit „scary”, at least that’s what I’ve heard people say, and they add to it with their strategy of covering for vulnerability with their scare tactics. Being seen as „fun silly pets” adds to it for me, because from experience I know that the households that do buy them often don’t really see them as like, a „real animal” and they often get treated like toys or reluctant additions to the family. Overall disposable
Based on vibes mostly, Yi Sang is an orchard ermine moth. The colours just make sense for me. Besides, it kind of makes sense from a meta perspective cause their history (the spiecies divide, the unexpected spikes in uneven distribution) is quite interesting and while at first I also looked at Yi Sand as kind of unassuming, the bits of information I have on him now prove me otherwise
Rodya gets desmoxytes purpurosea. It’s a relatively new species, it’s beautiful, popular amongst people. Absolutely amazing. And it smells like almonds. Why? Well, probably due to hydrogen cyanide they produce. Not a surprise considering the hot pink is a pretty good indicator of them being a bit… dangerous to it’s opponents. What girlbosses they are, they get to be cute, hot pink and unassuming AND pretty deadly
Dante gets a summer chafer. Despite being seen as quite useless and a pest, they don’t make much significant damage. Their lifestyle, notably mating, takes quite a toll on their bodies and by the time the female laid eggs a few times (each time the process paired with digging lasts around a day) she passes. They are drawn to light. And look absolutely adorable as a bonus
I wanted to give Ryōshū some sort of a mantis, but I settled on the horrid king assassin bug. This is not a roast, I just think they are and look pretty dangerous while also being damn intimidating. Besides, having a few ways of killing, which makes them more proficient by a long shot, kind of fits in with her whole vibe and the killing thing. I think she would appreciate variety in the craft as well^^
Hong Lu gets the Spiny Flower Mantis. It’s a species well loved and appreciated for their beauty. Look up some pictures, please, they look unreal! The goal is to look similar to flowers. When they feel like they’re in danger, they spread their wings and start flapping them, making the colours on them glimmer. Which I find a bit funny, because it’s also something they do to show off to others. Also having eye-spots kind of sold me on giving it to him, to keep the theme (a lot of art displaying his eyes). They don’t chase after prey, they aren’t known to be a very active species, preferring to sit and wait for things to come to them. Also kind of picky with their living situation, for example they don’t take humidity well in captivity and pretty quickly you will be made aware of that as their home giver
For Faust I settled on a domestic silk moth. They don’t live in the wild since they are pretty important to humans and have been fully domesticated to help out with developing sciences. Mainly, they are tied to research as well as, well, producing silk
Lastly, Gregor. I didn’t want to go for a cockroach, I feel like he gets treated as a vermin enough as is, I really don’t want to perpetuate that (I wouldn’t use ‘cockroach’ as an insult, but he would take it as one, hurtful at that). At first I thought to give him some sort of a beetle. But after thinking more objectively, I settled on a bumblebee. Peaceful, beautiful, soft - overall amazing. Also mostly liked because they are practical to humans, I’m not sure we would like them a whole ton if the argument “don’t kill them, they are useful” didn’t come into play. So that uh… that goes along with certain canon themes. Something something having value if “actual” humans can make use of you. But yeah, well, I don’t want to be all depressing. World cold and hard, bumblebee soft and warm 😌😌

Thank you in advance!
p.s. sorry if I said smth dumb. I struggle a lot with english
Of course! Also no worries hehe, you came across perfectly fine! Congratulations on being the first ask!
Sinclair saving civilian Reader
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
You just had to have been stupid enough to dart out of your dingy home without checking the time properly. Your adrenaline fueled mind hadn't made the connection to cast a glance at the LED clock on your nightstand after you had realized your cat had bolted out of your apartment through a window you had forgotten to close.
Rushing through the streets in your pajamas like a disheveled madman, you hadn't yet realized the danger that would continue to arise with every call of your cat's name.
It was only once you found the poor thing with paws layered a deep black and fur matted with grime and dirt, fearfully trodden deep within the backstreets, you had realized the situation you were in.
While your adrenaline addled self was too busy coaxing your terrified cat down a rusted apartment fan unit she had somehow leaped to, a hulking figure began to approach you.
The unpleasant grind of metal against metal working in unison to approach you gave way to another presence and you were (unfortunately) able to recognize what this presence was.
Rusted plates, quiet whine of release valves, a stark and stained blade, and piercing amber glow.
It was 3am in the backstreets, and you found yourself in the middle of a sweeper cleanup.
Instincts kicked in, and you bolted.
Despite the frenzied thoughts going through your mind, you had managed to pick out a single coherent one & figured it was better you than your poor cat, who you wish you could've taken better care of.
You weaved corner after corner, ungracefully leaping across some piles of rubbish, nailing a couple of rough landings that your ankles nearly gave way to. You'd hadn't looked back at your pursuers to see if they had gained distance on you, you didn't want to.
You figured that, maybe, by some stroke of luck, if you could bear through the burning of your lungs and ache of your feet long enough, you would be able to run into a fixer office.
However, you approach a dead end.
Perfect. Excellent.
It was over, you had officially taken the reward for Dumbass Of The Year. You didn't even want to bother with a prayer or some grim ovation as a testament to your life as the seconds count down. Your cat was the only one who would've ever really known you were missing.
You let out a derisive snort and, in an act of complete defeat, hunched down. Accepting your gruesome end.
However, what bode for you wasn't exactly as you had thought.
Wet, light steps sounded out, the rhythm of it's approach sounded.. cautious? It was as if they were carefully inspecting the scene of some wreck, the metaphorical wreck being you. You could tell this wasn't a sweeper.
You looked up and, what you saw was a stark contrast to your expectations.
A short, dirty blonde boy, clad in a black coat with red accents and a slightly yellowed from age dress shirt with suspenders and a red tie.
He was carefully holding your cat.
"..Um, I think this is yours?" He delicately called out.
Despite your heart hammering out of your throat, you could tell from your assessment, he did not belong to any fixer association you were aware of, which did set off some internal alarms but he seemed to have no ill-intent and even went out of his way to fetch your cat.
"W..Where's the..-- There are sweepers," Your voice was frail and taught, "Here. There are sweepers out. One was..--"
The boy flinched and looked around, nervously scanning the area.
"Oh, um, I think I got that one that was targeting you..?" He looked back, clearly unsure of how to approach your terrified figure.
He cast a glance at your cat in his arms and delicately smiled.
"I never had a pet when I was young." He seemed unsure of what to say now, as he tentatively outstretched his arms as he lowered himself to the ground, letting your cat comfortably ease out of his hands.
You, on the other hand, leaned against the wall that caved you into this dead end, breathing a sigh of relief as you felt the adrenaline begin to wear off. Your lungs and feet were burning, but that couldn't have been as worse as death.
The boy looked at you with a sympathetic look, seemingly wanting to offer a reply, before your cat had begun to rub herself between his legs.
He let out a small laugh and you straightened back up to call out, "Mimi! Come on! you've caused enough trouble for the fixer tonight, last thing he needs is your dirty ass hair on his work suit!"
Despite your scolding words, there was a mental reassurance behind it. You had been saved, your cat had been saved, you could go home with her. You had known living in the backstreets was not a cakewalk and had heard of all the horror stories, so it was for that, you felt as if you could burst into tears.
"Heheh.. it's no problem, um.." The boy hesitated, you could tell that naturally in his manner of speaking he wanted to roll your name off his tongue but had not much to go by. You noticed this and shared it with him. He repeated it back to you to affirm he had been listening.
"Right, as I was saying," He cautiously reached to pick up your cat once again, who had still been lovingly rubbing her face against his legs, "It's really no problem."
He walked closer towards you, dropping your cat near your side as he took a couple of gentle pets on her head.
"She's a sweetheart." He remarked.
You pondered back on his earlier comment about never having a pet, and wondered why he had even bothered with you in the first place.
Almost as if he read your mind, he continued, "Uhm.. as I said earlier, I never really had a pet. Closest thing was the bugs and worms."
You let out a tiny smile, and gave him a curious stare.
"Bugs and worms?" You would've offered a witty follow-up, if it wasn't for the fact this man had saved you seconds ago, so you held your tongue.
He seemed to nervously recount his earlier sentence, as if he were embarrassed over saying the wrong thing, nonetheless he replied.
"Yeah.. um, I'd feel bad for stepping on them, I had named 'em too, y'know. So, when I heard you earlier, calling out for your cat and all, curiosity got the best of me and.. well, I don't think I could've not intervened."
Silence fell over the both of you, as you cryptically stared back at him.
"T-Thank you.." The light of the moon happened to catch his ID at a perfect angle and, you could make out his name from it.
"Sinclair. Huh.." A small smile tugged at the corner of your lips.
Mimi grazed her head against your chest, and you reciprocated the attention she craved.
"You're more than welcome to pet her, Sinclair." You follow up, "It seems she's taken a liking towards you."
The boy, now recognized as Sinclair, slightly tenses up. Uncertainty painting his expression as he muses on a thought.
"Well, I can't be here too long but.."
He cradles Mimi's head, hesitation to touch her completely dissolved.
"I think I can go and escort you two back." A gentle look falls over his face as he watches your cat, "Wouldn't want anything to happen to this sweet girl."
Your heart fills up a bit, not in the sense you were infatuated with Sinclair, but you were always appreciative of those that respect and dote on animals.
You had a feeling the walk back wouldn't be short of conversation between you two.

Which of the sinners would have games on their phone? If so, which ones?
Rodion: Gacha. A lot of gacha. Roulette games, poker, 8 ball, blackjack. Whenever she runs out of funds in one she uninstalls it and installs other ones. She has cloned credit cards of other sinners to get extra credits before though.
Hong Lu: visual novels!
Yi Sang: escape room puzzles that he can solve quite fast but is still impressed with how creative puzzlemakers can be
Faust: apps that gamify life tasks. The only way she can remember to feed herself on time.
Heathcliff: hack and slash games, roguelike and roguelite games. What better way to unwind from beating people to a pulp than by beating virtual people to a pulp?
Gregor: Games that can be played with one hand. Actually, lots of color by number apps.
Outis: auto chess. one rhythm game that she will never be caught playing in public.
Ryoshu: fruit ninja. she will always be :) when watermelons come up and >:( when a bomb comes up.
Don Quixote: fantasy rpgs with so many mechanics it will make your head spin just listening to her talk about it.
Ishmael: rpgs but not as terrible as don's. She plays them casually but still manages to keep herself in the high rankings.
Sinclair: the most popular games on the appstore. He's mediocre at the fps ones, but tries his best. Has a lot of skins in them. Little whale boy.
Meursault: rhythm games. He does all the dailies before going to sleep. There are like, seven of them and he loves emptying his brain to hit notes.
Bonus:
Vergilius: candy crush like games. Charon likes watching him crush candy.
Dante: rpgs with likeability mechanics. They try to befriend every single character they can.

Blade Lineage Sinners and Love Languages
Specifically, the love languages that they prefer from their s/o.
₊✦Limbus Company | Sinners x gn!reader | Contains minor spoilers for Canto 3!!✦₊
Additional Notes: Unedited, kurokumo version should be out hopefully soon;; Also RR4 was super easy.
Tumblr media
˚₊✦ Quality Time ✦₊˚
Yi Sang is not one for words, not anymore. His heart had gone cold from the bitterness of that day and yearned for revenge. He would keep everyone at an arm's length, so long as it meant that he would achieve his goal one day.
However, one thing that he could never deny himself was your presence.
Though he might not be one for affection – not that he minded if you were to initiate it – and certainly not one for gifts, he could never deny the way your presence would soothe his wounded heart whenever you joined him on his patrols.
Listening to your voice was calming. Listening to you rambling about any matter would, more often than not, ease him into a rest without nightmares haunting him.
If the two of you weren't fugitives, if neither of you had joined the Blade Lineage, if the Blade Lineage didn't fall apart as badly as it had, then Yi Sang would've loved to take you to his hometown for a trip. The two of you walking side by side silently and taking in the nature around you would be the ideal way for Yi Sang to show his appreciation towards you, but alas, those days would never become a reality.
The most he could offer were those patrols you joined him for, and for the time being, that was enough.
Perhaps, in the distant future, he'd get the chance to take you to his hometown.
✿❀✿
Tumblr media
˚₊✦ Gift Giving ✦₊˚
Faust kept every single item that you gave her inside a safe.
It didn't matter to her if the item was an expensive jewel that cost you a leg and an arm to buy, it didn't matter to her if it was something you spent days making just for her, nor did it matter if it was something you saw off the side of the road and decided to bring back to her for a variety of reasons.
Every single second you spent thinking about her was a precious second. Each one filled with beauty that was dedicated to her.
This kind of affection was a treasure, for sure. Faust might not be able to reciprocate your feelings besides offering you her presence and a cup of tea, but she would gladly offer her life if it meant that you got to live, even if it was just a second longer.
If there was a kind of gift she prefered over the others you gave her, though, then it would have to be the accessories as well as the rare outfits that you got her.
It was a shame that she couldn't wear them– the accessories in fear of them getting stolen the moment of her death, and the outfits in fear of ruining them with blood and cuts. But if she could, then she wouldn't hesitate to flaunt them around; showing others how much your cared for her and how she was yours.
It was a nice thought, but one that she couldn't make reality.
So for now, they'd stay in her safe where no one could take them away.
✿❀✿
Tumblr media
˚₊✦ Physical Touch ✦₊˚
Don adored it when your fingers trailed over her battle scars.
She loved it even more when you kissed each and every single one of them.
Someone as great as you showing her affection via the scars that were her pride and joy?
She thanked every fixer in the City for allowing this to happen to her, swearing to repay their blessings – and your affection, of course – as much as she could.
And repay, she did.
Putting on her most chivalrous act, every morning she'd greet you right outside your room; kneeling down before you and bringing your hand to her lips for a brief kiss, giddily waiting for your reaction.
She refused to leave your side, offering you help with every single little thing. It wasn't because Don thought you wouldn't be able to do these things yourself, no, but because she so desperately wanted to be your knight and help you as much as she could.
The one thing she loved offering the most was her blade.
Not just because she loved fighting for you, as a chivalrous knight would for royalty, but also because of the way you'd treat her after a battle.
She melted each time your calloused and scarred hands cupped her face in them, nearly squishing her cheeks as you praised and scolded her at the same time.
She gushed over the way you nursed her wounds for battles when she was especially careless.
And she swooned over the way you'd kiss her cheeks and call her your knight, so much so that she wouldn't be able to stop thinking or gushing about it for days straight.
✿❀✿
Tumblr media
˚₊✦ Physical Touch ✦₊˚
Meursault was so, so tired.
Between the Kurokumo Clan that effortlessly cornered them and the occasional assassins sent by S Corp, Meursault had been completely exhausted. He couldn't take a small break either, not when it could mean death for every single person depending him.
So it meant that much more whenever you hugged him while he was working, or when you cuddled him during the few moments of rest that he got. The warmth of your body was soothing, and he never had it himself to not wrap an arm around you and pull you close.
Holding you in his arms was the best way for him to relax and get back to planning with a clear head and fresh perspective. And if you were to help him plan things? All the better.
The only problem was that his neutral expression seemed to scare you away from being affectionate, and him trying to smile seemed to make things worse for some reason.
Oh, Wings, how could he solve this little issue?
✿❀✿
Tumblr media
˚₊✦ Words of Affirmation ✦₊˚
To claim that Sinclair knew what he was doing would be nothing short of a lie.
He had no clue what he was doing, especially not in the battlefield where something seemed to overtake him; leaving him confused, scared and filled with doubts whenever it left his body.
So he appreciated it so, so much when you reassured him.
You didn't compliment him like the other members did after a battle, instead easing his fears and telling him that he wasn't a senseless murderer like his irrational mind said he was.
Despite being the obvious, those words meant so much to him.
And so did your smiles and the way you said "you can do it!" or "you'll be okay!", they all meant, so, so much.
When he first joined the Blade Lineage, he used to be so meek; too blinded by his revenge for Kromer to realize what exactly he had become a part of, and too much of a scaredy cat to leave when he saw what he was capable of in his first battle.
Had it not been for you and your soothing words, he didn't know where he'd be right now. Making the same mistake he did with Kromer, probably.
But he had you now, you and your soothing words. Every time he hesitated, you were there to encourage him. Every time he doubted himself, you were there to reassure him. Every time he needed you, you were there for him.
That was all he needed.
...Well that and the way you'd squish his cheeks whenever you thought he looked cute.
✿❀✿
Tumblr media
˚₊✦ Acts of Service ✦₊˚
Outis had been stuck doing things that others were telling her to do for so long, so it came as a surprise when she woke up one morning to find a breakfast already prepared for her.
At first, she was uncomfortable, demanding to learn who it was that decided to make her breakfast, and stammering a little when she found out it was you. While taking care of others wasn't a task that bothered her that much, she knew full well how much energy and effort it took to do exactly that. It was a thankless job more often than not, and sometimes way more difficult than it needed to be. Not to mention that someone being in the exact position as she used to be was upsetting, even if she didn't show it much.
However, the moment she realized that you were doing this as a way to show your affection as opposed to seeing this as a chore you had to do, her tune quickly changed.
What started as breakfest in bed turned into you helping her with her chores, and while she told you off at times to make sure you got rest, she appreciated every little thing you did for her and she made sure to thank you for every one of them.
If you ever needed her, she'd be right there, be it for something big or small.
You got gravely injured during your last battle and need someone to nurse you back to health? No problem, she'll gladly help you.
You need to get something from a shelf that you can't reach? No problem, she'll get it for you.
You want someone to hold your hand because you don't want to get lost in a crowded area? No problem, she'll just carry you.
She might get a little overbearing, but she's doing it to repay your love for her; to let you know that she'll be there for you if you ever need someone. She means well, even if her smile makes her look like she's scheming your downfall.

So the new update came out for limbus and they had a cute little scene of all the Sinners clocking out for the day, but what I’m most excited about is the implications of the sinners in all of their rooms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
According to Faust each room is something different to each sinner, but Dante commented that when they looked in to the rooms they looked like jail cells.
Tumblr media
Some may find it obvious, but I think this implies that the pictures of the sinners in their base E.G.Os are what Dante sees when they peek through the peephole into their room! (It could even explain the circle frames for the E.G.Os.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But most importantly, (to me) is that this implies the cute little red and white suits that everyone wears in the base E.G.Os are their jammies for bed!!

Hcs about Gregor's shoulder roach pet? (iirc Pablo was his name)
Oh, boy this is a treat^^ just know that I started reading his wiki again to search for good closeup photos of the cockroach and I have flustered myself enough that I closed the tab. I’m embarassing I know 😔😔
I honestly wondered what is the in-universe explanation for this little lad following his around. I feel like, the most likely is that as much as he does not enjoy cockroaches (lightly speaking) he would not outright get rid of the guy for two reasons. 1. It’s like the dad and the cat meme a bit? The cockroach has been around for long enough and Gregor resigned himself to his fate, begrudgingly sharing bits of food with the guy. He would hate it if others found out though. The comments about him and his arm are enough as is so to have them point out that there’s an actual cockroach crawling around? Yeah, he would not enjoy their looks and jokes. 2. As much as it is a reminder of his past (and I’m basing that assumption on that bug scene with Rodya at the very beginning of canto I) it’s Gregor we’re talking about. More often than not he is very passive in the face of mistreatment and a part of him just accepts when others hurt him. This wouldn’t be much different. Yes, it doesn’t feel great to have that lad running around and seemingly following him but he’s used to feeling bad, so. Not like this one thing will be any different
A less depressing thing but one that had me searching the interned with little to no results. In the end I had to pull a friend into it (hiii!!) because this is so… embarrassingly specific. Either way, hear me out. Female cockroaches are bigger, yeah? I’m an American cockroach Greg truther (that belief is not so set in stone, so I might change my mind) but if we want to go with the German cockroach (which makes sense, I get why this one gets brought up the most) the only way that lad is so big is if it’s a female. German cockroaches are dang small! Also only males have wings (not a thing with American cockroaches). Thing is, this one does not (here is where the pictures come in)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not only are they wingless but also (unless the lighting is strong) darker than most males. If this little guy is Gregor’s symbol then uh. Trans Gregor canon I suppose? I mean, I’m going to have that headcanon wither way and this argument won’t convince anyone, but if you already like the hc, it can be a tiny neat addition that's pretty based in canon
Last little fact. The cockroach seems to only be able to glide. While we know that Gregor can fly if he as wings. That means it’s not the same kind of a cockroach that Greg got the traits from. So perhaps the little lad is a German cockroach and they used American ones for modifications?
Sorry for nsfw but for context, when I’m comparing sexes, this is pretty much what I mean (example shown is of Turkestan cockroaches)
Tumblr media
Yeah, they are having sex. Sorry :((
