#lobotomy corp headcanons

[binah-beloved]

Hello, thanks you for anwer my question from last time. Could you consider to write headcanons about the 5 love language. If only you want to of course :)

May many happy things come to those who love Binah. Merry Christmas and happy New year. Your posts always make my day better so thanks you.

don't worry, i want to

~ * ~ The Love Languages of an Arbiter Acts of Service:

Giving: -One of the main ways Binah expresses affection. Whether it’s during her time at Lobotomy Corporation or when the Library opens its doors, she strives for ways to make your life easier.-Listen, she was forced to become the Extraction Sephirah, she knows how difficult and tedious your job could be and it didn’t get much easier in the Library. -Plus, acts of service mean that she can show she cares while being subtle about it- and that’s really what Binah’s love is all about, subtlety. She’s not one for grand romantic gestures, preferring smaller, quieter things that accumulate over time. It makes for a more constant show of appreciation, she thinks. -Sometimes you’ll wake up and find that your paperwork has been sorted in alphabetical order. Or maybe the books Angela wanted you to put away have already been shelved. Or, most commonly, you’ll find a cup of steaming hot tea waiting for you after a long day, Binah sitting across from you and holding whatever novel you’ve been flipping through lately, so she can join you in reading.

Receiving: -Binah’s very appreciative of anything you do for her- she’s ranked higher than you, both as a Sephirah and a Patron Librarian, so the thought of you trying to make her life a little easier or just doing things out of goodwill makes her heart warm a little bit. -Unfortunately you can’t help her with much of her work unless it’s just sorting some things, since you’re not qualified for it, so you settle for tasks that don’t involve papers and books. -One of your favorite acts of service is restocking her tea when she runs out. She’s not sure how you procure it so quickly and so quietly, but often enough she’ll be out of a blend one day only for a full box to magically appear the next day. -You’ll know she found out when she comes up behind you and pats your head, murmuring a small “Thank you” in your ears.

Quality Time:

Giving:-Speaking of reading together, Binah spends time with you as often as possible, which unfortunately isn’t very often in Lobotomy Corporation. It gets much better in the Library, since she can easily steal you away for a tea party if you’re not actively in a Reception. -She’s gotten into this habit of simply picking you up and carrying you away when she wants to see you, and if you protest she just shushes you with a kiss. -All the invites she extends to the other Librarians for tea? Yeah, you’re the one she wants to accept the most, and her demeanor is just a little bit brighter if you do find the time to attend- it might not seem like much, but it’s a big change for someone as calm and mysterious as Binah. -But unlike the others, she also puts aside time for just the two of you, time where you’re the only two people in the world and that’s all that matters. If there are areas of the Library that are outdoors, she’ll gladly bring some treats so you can have a little picnic together. Or if you just want to indulge in one of your hobbies, Binah will be by your side to keep you company, watching calmly and asking questions here and there, because she loves watching you do anything.

Receiving: -If you go out of your way to spend time with her, Binah might actually cry. -Not much, mind you, just a tear or two, but it means the world to her. Although she tries to deny it, Binah is incredibly lonely, being locked away in the Extraction Department during each cycle, then being confined to the Floor of Philosophy and surrounded by people who fear her. Yes, she wears solitude wonderfully well, but she despises it, too. -She’s used to being the one inviting others, setting up gatherings and chats with the other Librarians, so when you extend a hand to her instead she’s both surprised and touched, even if she doesn’t show it outwardly. And you do it so casually, like you’re asking her how the weather is instead of inviting an ex-Arbiter to spend time with you. -Yes, she knows you do it because you love her and want to be by her side, but it’s such a foreign concept that she can’t help but pause, blinking a few times as your words set in. -Then a small smile blooms across Binah’s face, her hand slipping into yours as she asks you to lead the way. She doesn’t care what you’re doing- it can be anything- as long as she gets to spend time with you; it’s like the hollow emptiness that was so present in her life is mended whenever you’re nearby. -To her, it doesn’t matter what you want to do. As long as you’re there with her, she’ll enjoy herself. -Sidenote, Binah has a softer smile that she only uses around you, and her features subtly light up when she does, it’s beautiful.

Physical Touch:

Giving: -Binah doesn’t initiate physical touch very often, not because she doesn’t want to! It’s partially because she doesn’t want to hurt you by mistake and also because she simply forgets that physical touch is an option. Most of her years were spent killing and torturing people, she’s not used to touching someone out of love. -When she does remember, it’s the gentlest, most delicate touch you’ve ever felt. She’s very hesitant at the beginning, since she’s very aware of her strength, so most of the time it’s a simple hand on your shoulder before she slowly upgrades to patting your head. -The first time Binah holds your hand, she’s surprised at how much warmer you are than her- she tends to run a bit cold- and immediately moves to lace her fingers with yours. -She’s very fond of curling her little finger around yours when you stand next to each other. It’s a subtle way of saying that she’s there for you and that you’re safe. -Likes kissing you on the forehead, because when she pulls back she can get lost in the loving way you look at her.

Receiving: -There’s no beating around the bush, Binah is touch-starved. -Not in the sense that she’s clingy, but in the way that occurs because she’s never been hugged or held gently in her life. -So the first time you hug her she stiffens, immediately wanting to defend herself. But then she registers what you’re doing and the warmth of your arms and how securely you’re holding her, and she just absolutely melts. -To anyone else she looks the exact same, but you can feel her slump a little before she returns the gesture, a small sigh escaping her as she leans against you. She’s going to want a hug every day after that, and she will stare at you from across the room if you forget. Whenever you finish a Reception she always whisks you away for a quick hug if you’re not too injured. -Binah loves snuggling with you, no questions asked. The most common way is for you to be on her lap as she sits in her favorite armchair, gazing down at you as you lean your head against her shoulder. Occasionally you reach up to cup her cheeks in your hands, feeling her soft skin under your fingertips and watching her eyes shut briefly, her normally stoic expression softening just a tad. She’ll also let you braid her hair, if you know how. -She’s the big spoon when you’re sleeping, it makes her feel like she’s protecting you even when you’re both unconscious. Plus, the sight of your sleeping face when she wakes up is enough to energize her for the entire day, without drinking even a single cup of tea.

Gifts:

Giving: -Binah’s not a big gift-giver, it makes her feel like she’s trying to buy your affection, which she most certainly isn’t. That being said, she’s not completely opposed to it, she simply doesn’t shower you with gifts (and frankly neither do you). -The things she does give you are usually small and fall into at least one of two categories: having a practical use, or having a deeper meaning. -For example, she gifted you a notebook when she noticed you liked jotting things down on scraps of paper you came across, as well as a good, sturdy pen. Just for fun, she made sure it was black and gold to remind you of her, and you carry the notebook everywhere you go. -Perhaps the sweetest gift she’s given you was the matching earring to the one she wore as a Sephirah- she gave it to you as a way of confessing her affections. You don’t wear it that often anymore, since she swapped her own out for the small gold pair, but occasionally you’ll both wear the matching pair for fun. It makes her smile when she sees you wearing it in the hallway. -One day she swears she’ll give you one of her rings. One day.

Receiving: -She’s rather neutral on being gifted things, except if, again, they’re practical or have some sweetness put into them. If you like hand making small crafts, she’ll absolutely accept one as a gift. For example if you make her a bookmark or a coaster for her teacup, she’ll internally melt. -Another thing she’ll always accept is matching jewelry. Just like her own rings and earrings, if you gift her one half of a pair, she’ll make sure to wear hers whenever you wear yours. -But Binah really doesn’t need you to give her gifts to know that you love her, and if you worry about it, she’ll just tell you that you are the best gift the world has ever given her, and nothing could ever be lovelier.

Words of Affirmation:

Giving: -Probably the weakest of the love languages for Binah, in terms of giving it. She’s just not a very openly lovey-dovey person, and while she’s good at going off on cryptic tangents, she’s not very good at verbally expressing herself. -It’s mostly because she finds little need for words when in your presence- you seem to bring out this blanket of calm and peace whenever you’re nearby, and she wants nothing more than to quietly relish the feeling with you by her side. -Occasionally you’ll hear her whisper “I love you” when you’re in her arms, or a soft pet name, but for the most part you’re both content just existing with each other. -She does try to tell you that you did well after a particularly difficult Reception, and even back in L Corp she would always give you a small pat on the head after suppressing an Abnormality- she’s trying her best. -But once in a while, you’ll catch her watching you from across the table, and when you pipe up and ask about it she’ll flatter you with a long and eloquent compliment, a faint smile on her face as she watches you stumble over your words in response. It’s almost like a surprise, and she does like surprising you.

Receiving: -All her life, Binah has been complimented mainly about how good she was at her job, at maiming, slaughtering. And every time, the praise brought nothing to the emptiness she felt, they were just meaningless words to fill the air. -But when you compliment her, it’s so… genuine. You compare her to stars and flowers and the moon, because you truly think that she’s beautiful, that she’s intelligent, that she’s strong and elegant and incredible. And when you say it, she does feel like all the things you praise her to be. -It surprises her when you tell her she’s gentle and kind. She was Garion, and now she’s Binah, and both are known for their cold, sadistic tendencies- and yet here you are, with the brightest smile on your face, complimenting her to the Head and back. -Her favorite phrase, though, is simple and a little cliche. It’s when you lean your head back to look at her and say “I love you” for all the world to hear. There’s no hesitation in your voice, no doubts in your mind. If there’s anything that flusters her even slightly, it’s that.

[ruinaimagines]

i love this blog sm i binge read most of the HCs here, also just to fill my brain with happy in the future and because reqs are open how would the sefirot react if their favorite employee (you) were replaced by nothing there?

HEYY I am so glad my writing brings enough entertainment that you’re willing to binge them!! Thank you for the compliments and ofc ofc you may.

Sefirot Reacting to You Being Replaced by Nothing There Headcanons:

Malkuth would immediately know something is off based on the uncanny stare ‘you’ offered. Didn’t help that the responses weren’t really.. Responses to what she was trying to get your attention for. Would immediately bring it up to others to check on you and figure out what happened, wouldn’t delay in action at all especially with how risky that would be in the Lobotomy Corp environment. Would be mortified upon realizing that it’s none other than Nothing There, leaving a very unfavorable reality for you. Is heartbroken over this but at the same time knows she has to move on, it’s part of the job after all. This will probably impede her work flow for a bit and she will put emphasis on paying close attention to the abnormality so stuff like this won’t happen again.

Yesod probably gets frustrated with your lack of proper answers to his words, thinking that for whatever reason you might just be being stubborn. Will repeat things only to realize ohh. Oh. That’s not you. Immediately calls someone over to suppress the abnormality before it can go on a rampage. Feels a little bad for getting irritated and assuming it was you, considering that it kinda implies that you’re uh.. Not in the best shape. People will notice that he seems to be a lot more snappy and short tempered in the coming days as well as drown himself in even more work than he did before.

C’mon don’t do this to Netzach he already has 500 reasons to be sad. Genuinely thinks it’s just you joking around and playing dumb for a little bit, so he entertains Nothing There for a little while unintentionally. Then it sort of starts to rub him the wrong way and he notices that the behaviors you usually have just aren’t the same. Honestly open to being mauled by Nothing There when it clicks but yeah that wouldn’t really work out in the end. Like why did it have to be you? Honestly considering bribing the manager with the fact he’ll do his work (let’s be real for a week at most) if he can bring you back.. But he also wants to trash talk him so he’s torn between two sides. Doesn’t help that his team is meant to ensure the security of the employees, just salt in the wound really.

NOO NOT HOD poor baby knows some things off so her first response is to ask if you’re okay. Thinks you’re just struggling with words to explain but no Nothing There is just like that. Only figures out that it’s the abnormality when someone else points it out for her, and when I tell you if machines could have facial expressions the way her look morphed into being mortified. Feels stupid and also terrible because she really enjoyed talking to you, even blaming herself a bit though it wasn’t her fault. Does not speak for the rest of the meeting and everyone can tell that it’s had an impact on her.

Tiphereth is like Yesod where she’s initially pretty annoyed and thinks you’re pranking her, only to learn the truth and be thoroughly disgusted with Nothing There. Will claim that you’re an idiot for letting that happen to you in the first place, and that you should’ve been more careful and then immediately begin writing 30 papers on why the abnormality needs more secure containment procedures as well as trying to convince the manager that you were one of the few actually competent ones. She does care, and she will put effort in trying to get you back.

Gebura is pissed. She already has some pretty rocky foundations with Nothing There, and because of such can immediately tell when it’s that horrid thing and not you. It gets suppressed the moment she lays eyes on it, no hesitation at all, and with immense loathing. The manager will be rewinding the day whether he wants to or not, she doesn’t even have to say anything you can just tell that she is not having it and it’s probably the best course of action if you don’t want half of the facility to be trashed. Doesn’t even have time to be super sad because yeah you’ll be back.

Okay well Chesed always knew this posed a risk, and externally seemed pretty laid back about it. A sort of ‘That’s really unfortunate, feel free to take your time everyone’ where he knows the atmosphere is heavy. You’d think he’s taking it well so long as you don’t see the 80 coffee mugs strewn about his office. If robots could have the shakes you’d think he was in the middle of an earthquake. Given it’s very likely you were a part of his department and one of the more stronger agents, he will make not-so-subtle suggestions of rewinding the day. I mean hey everything can just be redone, it’s not too big of a deal, plus it doesn't seem worth the cost of a really useful employee right? Right???

Yeah Hokma is not having it. He understands you might be a bit immature at times but there is no way this is slipping from him. Stares at the abnormality with all I can describe as a powerful disapproving look. The old man starts speaking in what seems to be riddles for the rest of the day, going on about some philosophy that only makes sense to the other employees in his district (and even then sometimes it’s hard to process). Will continue to talk about you a lot, even if he doesn’t directly say your name everyone knows who he’s speaking of. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he kept a memoir photo around.

Binah just shrugs it off, an indifferent ‘that sucks’ air to her as she goes about her day like it’s more of a mild inconvenience if anything. It might come across like she could care less about your death, but really it’s because she feels pretty confident that it will be rectified. The most unaffected out of everyone, going back to her work and watching the other employees as she waits for the day to come to a close. If it seems like it won’t be fixed? Well, she’s already quite the threatening individual, what makes you think she won’t go through with it? Really the best course of action is just to play the safest route, after all it’s hard to understand what’s going on in that kind of hers.

uhhuuhuhyuuuun i got some. lil edits of the sephirah i made last niiiight

js credit me if ure going to use this 👍

[lu-is-not-ok]

Normalest character in gaming history (blatant lies)

[markerofthemidnight]

i require apocalypse bird hcs

First of all, the Abnormality’s name is no hyperbole. For whatever reason, it makes all lights flicker and shut off in its presence: and I do mean all lights. If it got outside, it would literally block out the sun and cause an apocalypse if they stayed fused for too long.

How exactly do Abnormalities fuse? Who knows, but apparently it’s something all Abnormalities could do if they met one or more Abnormalities that were similar to them and aligned in their goals.

They also need to have a conduit powerful enough for them to latch themselves onto and convert themselves into energy for the fusion: in this case, the Portal to the Black Forest.

Since pretty much only Punishing Bird, Judgement Bird and Big Bird meet that criteria, Abnormality fusions are rare (unless you get Aberrations involved, but I digress).

They are also, more often than not, insanely powerful, with the weakest known fusion still being WAW in terms of power.

But enough about that and onto Apocalypse Bird itself: nobody’s really sure why it’s classified as a bird aside from being a fusion of three birds.

It has arms instead of legs, a tiny weird slug body, a slug mouth instead of a beak, and even its wings aren’t made of feathers, but hair: although they can somehow still fly.

Naturally, it never actually uses this ability because the facility is too big, so it accommodates using its teleportation… that it somehow has…

The eggs are the leftover husks of all three of the birds while the majority of their essence is in Apocalypse Bird.

When destroying one, the corresponding bird can feel themselves start to die, and so they return to their original forms to save themselves: though still leave a little of themselves in the main body so that the others can take over from there.

Their EGO is made from all the uncontrolled energy that spills out when Apocalypse Bird dies. And when I say uncontrolled, I do mean uncontrolled.

So much so that the Manager doesn’t even have to order Extraction Team to make them. The energy’s only around for so long before settling into a more controlled form, so Extraction just get to it themselves.

However, the energy always settles into its more controlled form so quickly that Extraction can only ever make one of the EGO Weapon and Suit.

What is this more controlled form, I hear you ask? The EGO Gift. It’s a very powerful one, too, seeing as how the only other Abnormality in the game whose gift is straight-up just an extra limb is WhiteNight.

It just sorta… attaches itself onto everyone there, and then eventually turns into a full wing overnight whilst they’re sleeping. It also has feathers too, not hair like Apocalypse Bird.

And I do mean everyone when I say that. The effects aren’t as severe with them for obvious reasons, but even the Sefirot would have some feathers stuffed inside their mechanical bodies which spill out when/if they’re scrapped, like pillowcases.

People can’t see out of the extra eyes on their wings. Then again, that’s likely for the best. I imagine it would get disorienting quickly.

Today’s Autistic character of the day is:

Angela from Lobotomy Corporation

[headcanoncorp]

heartbreaking: girl who was making dinner was just told the rest of her family was eating out at a restaurant, without her, without even calling to let her know.

To let you know how fine I'm feeling about this here's some headcanons about the sephirot taking someone out to eat if they could (platonically mind since I cannot think of romance to save my life) (if this seems out of character it's because I'm coping very well right now I'm sure of it)

Malkuth

Her go to place would probably be an average restaurant chain.

The food isn't like the best you'll ever had but it isn't bad and tends to be consistent across all locations.

Because I am USamerican they've got chicken tenders there like pretty much every restaurant I've ever been to.

She's getting the chicken tenders and can point out some things she's pretty sure you won't like so you can avoid them

Yesod

He doesn't really have a go to restaurant so he'll let you (me) pick.

Not a big fan of finger foods so take him someplace where there's plenty of utensil expectation, maybe somewhere fancy.

Wherever you take he'll probably pick out something without any sauce layering, so no pasta.

He'd probably spend most of the time people watching, not really talking all that much. he might not admit it right away but I think he'd enjoy the experience.

Netzach

We're going to City Burger King!

It's not the best food, but it is comforting food and easy to get. also I personally really like the chicken fries

It's mostly just dining in with some burgers and taking some paper crowns.

burger.

Hod

She'd take you to some kind of Cafe or other establishment with mostly baked goods, not exactly great for dinner but she's trying and couldn't think of anywhere better.

She'd spend most of the "dinner" just making conversation, asking how your day went in between bites of her muffin

Maybe it's nicer for her than it would be for most people.

Gebura/Tiphereth

Gebura's taking all three of you out tonight, since the kids are a bit too young to pick a place on their own, they give her input on what they want though.

She knows A Place, and it's somehow the most suspicious and offputting place you'll ever visit that you can only feel confident inside because Gebura's there.

It somehow has the best tasting food though, only one menu item and it's just the best thing you'll ever taste.

The Tiphereths spend most of dinner talking to each other but other than that it's a quiet and interesting dinner

Chesed

He also doesn't pick out a place that's a very good idea for dinner

Either a coffeeshop that only has cookies or doughnuts or whatever they sell there that's food. Or the fanciest place ever with just the smallest serving sizes.

He does at least visibly realize unlike Hod that maybe it wasn't the best pick. He at least hopes you'll like the coffee.

Hokma

Another one who'll just let you pick.

He's fine with anything you could take him to Applebees and he wouldn't mind. (note, not a dig at Applebees I enjoyed the one time I went there).

I don't know what he'd talk about but it would be a very neutral experience as long as you can successfully provide input.

Binah

She's taking you to the strangest themed restaurant you've ever seen just to see your reaction.

She spends the whole dinner talking about the most inane stuff you could never even begin to comprehend while sipping on some tea. Her expression forever unchanging as she does until someone gets into a fight a table over.

It is very hard to tell if she has a good time herself or not but it's been going on weekly and there's an invite for next week as well.

Angela

She cannot leave the building

So she left some microwave ramen out with your name on it

Thanks

I'd say sorry but this has been calming actually.

[ein-liebloser-wanderer]

Hi! I really like your writing and how you interpret the abnormalities. Can you do yandere hcs of Snow White's Apple?

Thank you, love! Your words mean so much to me, so I hope this is up to par with what you might have wanted.

⸸ F-04-42 (Snow White's Apple) — Headcanons ⸸

Born from hatred and envy, the Apple waits for the day she would return to dirt.

⸸ It is a curse to be immortal. But hell is living it completely and utterly alone.

⸸ For that, the Apple hated the Evil Queen as it was her that brought the Apple into this wretched existence. But this couldn't compare to the loathing she held for the girl.

⸸ Snow White found her Prince Charming. Even though she had the love of her father, she was so greedy as to accept the love of someone else.

⸸ Less and less did the blame fall on the Evil Queen. Gradually, all of her hatred fell onto the Princess she was meant to kill.

⸸ So when her Darling began showing an interest...the first thorns began to sprout like skeletal flowers.

⸸ For Apple, her Darling is her Prince Charming.

⸸ Where everyone else left her behind to rot, they were the ones who stayed. They kept her company, batted away the bugs that tried to feast on her. But more than that, they brought her peace.

⸸ She might never die. Perhaps she was even incapable of it. But the tranquil state her Darling puts her in...the silence of her mind could be the closest she would ever get to resting.

⸸ I just pray they do not make the mistake of saying the Princess' name. Heavens forbid if they put her in a positive light for even a moment.

⸸ And it doesn't have to necessarily be Snow White. Anyone that reminded Apple remotely of her--whether it is because of their red lips, luscious raven hair, their pale skin, or their irritating high-pitched voice--they would find sharp thorns tearing through their insides and sprouting out of all their orifices.

⸸ That Princess already had the love of both the King and her Prince Charming. She cannot stand to see you falling for her wiles.

The day she saw the Agent and the Princess side-by-side, her heart shattered.

[eggsploded]

Ishy for the character ask! :•)

fish meal :)

initial impression: i thought she was kinda boring TBH.. her underlying insanity wasnt really prominent in the prologue when everyone else is so much stranger

current impression: projmoons hamster in the microwave. women described as being a wee lad. essential worker. banished to the yuri mines. ishy needy drinky. they atleast graced her with soupmael after these chapters of suffering. godspeed queen. anyway shes so fucking stressed its comical i think she has a lobotomy corp qliphoth counter in her head that drops to 0 the moment heath talks and all hell breaks loose. shes a true 'im the most normal person here everyones insane' delusional queen. you drink turpentine to get drunk girl!!!!!

favorite moment: weirdchamp moment with her and rodya forcing meemaw to bed went hard. also shes just so backhandedly mean to dante in the voicelines its crazy

story idea: in a way i dont want a story idea for her. i want her to sit down and nothing happens for her own peace of mind and safety alternatively i just had a vivid mental image of her devouring hardtack and it was really funny

favorite relationships: shes really a yuri messiah for the fanbase because shes mmmmaybe the most normal woman in the cast. ill be real i dont have any strong ships for her because deep down i yearn for someone to be the homoerotic sailor next to her equally leyendecker existence. ishdon has cute art and she makes a good knight. faumael popping off HARD rn and they def got potential but i feel like their unique insanity types kinda mellow out together instead of enhances making their relationship just regular toxic (lame..). my favorite yuritype is probably outishmael because they got some common ground and hate eachother at the same time. the intrinsic horror of having a crush on your coworker that also happens to be the overbearing old hag that yells indoors.. in a fun and thought provoking way. platonically i hope she and meur are on good terms as seat buddies. does she let him use her hair as a blanky? are they level 2 friendship enough to lean on eachother when tired?

favorite headcanon: shes built like a brick. atomically more dense than the average human. curvature in her frame exists only theoretically. i think she and meur weigh their bus seat down. the hair is a floatation device to counteract this effect when shes in water. scientists call this the ishmael buoyancy factor

[ahmedmootaz]

Headcanon:

Ayin trades videos of the general death and violence inside the Lobotomy Coproration facilities to Alfonso and K Corp in exchange for a constant steady supply of K Corp ampules and healing bullets for L Corp.

It would seem like a good deal at first with easy access to K Corp's healing products in exchange for a few managerial records of the more violent and gory (that don't reveal too much of the L Corporation's company secrets and that don't compromose the security of the company of course since they're still rival wings). So it would seem pretty good deal on L Corp's side to just send over videos of the injured agents in return for medication to treat such agents. Maybe even too good of a deal as time goes on.

But over time, as Alfonso's demand for what is essentially snuff films and workplace accident recordings, the deal becomes more and more difficult as they need to provide even more content than a normal facility running smoothly can provide. Maybe she'd start demanding even more content in exchange for continued supplied of K Corp ampules. It'd be a case of failing too much from success since all the healing medication comes from your worker's injuries and deaths. The better you managed your facility, the less K Corp healing products you had on hand which would hamper your team's recovery that day and lower the next day's work efficiency and maybe even lead to more deaths should you not have enough to fully heal workers.

Thus the Managers are more or less incentivized to allow injury to a few agents or allow death to some clerks in exchange for getting very essential healing products to keep all of them alive. So it becoming more of something like the Silent Orchestra scenario, do good but not 'too' good. Maybe Lobotomy Corporation's nonchalance for death and injury comes not from only the commonplace worker death and injury but also due to the fact that K Corp's trade agreement requires films of people getting injured and such. Thus Managers are more willing to allow a few more replaceable people like clerks and fodder agents to come to harm in exchange for keeping their top agents healed and at their peak to be able and ready to take down the abnormalities.

Ayin might not just limit himself to sending over workplace incidents over to Alfonso in exchange for K Corp medicine, he might also be willing to exchange videos of the general violence in L Corp's Backstreets and Nest considering the Smoke War would be still going on and/or still slowly dying out. Thus a lot of video footage of people getting caught up in battles between his own side and the remnants of the old L Corp and maybe G Corp, general violence as the Nest and Backstreets mix like the Kurokumo Clan killing civillians, people getting affected by the Smoke and either turning into abnormalities hunting others or becoming very sick such as seen in The Dream of the Black Swan's lore entry. Or even if the Smoke War didn't ruin the District 12, the general violence of the Backstreets by the Rats and the Syndicates and Fingers and the nightly Sweepers, plus whatever kind of violence happens in the District 12's Nest like maybe an abnormality escaping from time to time. All of which would make pretty good snuff videos to send to Alfonso in exchange for medicine.

Speaking of demand, I wonder how high the prices in both Ahn and murder films Alfonso would demand in exchange for healing bullets and ampules. Afterall, the greater the demand L Corp has for its neighbor's medicine, the more Alfonso can demand from Ayin in exchange. We don't even know if L Corp uses the healing serums and bullets for simply the Enkephalin facilities in District 12 and the branches in the other Nests, or if they hand them out to their other workers. Workers like the District 12 Nest border guards, peacekeeping forces like the Zwei, Ruin exploration teams, abnormality capture and transportation teams, or any normal hospital operation for the common man. The demand of K Corp serum might be higher for L Corp and its main facility and branches because of all the violence but the demand by the other needs of Lobotomy Corporation also factor in.

Not to mention the other competitors for the limited amount of K Corp ampules available would also be driving up demand and thus prices as well. Afterall, its impossible that K Corp is solely selling to one party alone. The Head, especially the Claws, would obviously be demanding a quota of healing serums for their use alone. And K Corp must have other company's bidding for their limited supply of very useful ampules. For example, R Corp who is very likely to be also selling snuff films of their clones killing each other in the hatchery in exchange for ampules for the winners and their more important commanders. W Corp can just as easily sell videos of their Love Town-esque horrors to K Corp as they sell the time collected on their train during said period that Love Town-esque horrors take place. And that's not even mentioning all the fixers and syndicates probably clamoring to get ahold of the serums in their professions. The fact that we haven't seen these people use the K Corp ampules during or after every fight does indicate that the product isn't easy to purchase meaning the demand is probably so high yet the supply is so low that only bigger corporations or wealthier individuals can afford to buy the serums.

Of course this is all just speculation since we could be bypassing the issue entirely with the K Corp ampules being traded solely for Ahn currency thus bypassing the need for the snuff films. But this would also mean that the prices for ampules would be way more expensive and still push the Managers to take risks in order to produce more Enkephalin to sell to buy more healing products which in turn causes more injuries needing more K Corp ampules and thus more Enkephalin needee to afford it. And so on and so forth in a vicious self-perpetuating cycle making Lobotomy Corp dependent on K Corp....which may be the intention of K Corp in the first place to subjugate a newly risen neighboring wing.

Actually this could be a scenario akin to K Corp selling the first batch of ampules for cheap until L Corp became dependent on them, and then raising up the prices once Ayin had no other choice but to bow down to their demands and make the payments in whatever form lest his employees keep dying off without the ampules. Also wouldn't put past it for Alfonso to be friendly and generous at first, perhaps offering the L Corp suspiciously cheap K Corp ampules "on the house", only to end up sending L Corp the massive bill putting Ayin and the company into a substatial debt that Alfonso can threaten Ayin into complying at the risk of the Oufi or even the Head forcing him one way or another to repay her. Afterall, the PMverse 'is' a capitalistic dystopia with corporation as nations and governments unto themselves. Would make sense for Alfonso and the other Wing Owners to try and get one over each other, trying to control and influence each other somehow, trying to drive the other wings into dependent relationships or into submission, especially ones like Ayin and his newly hatched company. One very very useful newly hatched and vulnerable company providing a much cleaner, safer, and most importantly cheaper solution to the very real problem of energy deficiency because of the old L Corp's fall and stinginess.

TL;DR

Ayin as the CEO of L Corporation sells video recordings of the death and violence happening in his facilites and District 12 to Alfonso, the CEO of K Corporation, in exchange for her company's healing serum.

This seems like hitting two birds with one stone until you realize that this creates a need or quota of violence to happen in order to keep providing the snuff films. Or alternatively, you're always struggling to get enough Enkephalin to meet the demand for energy consumption and for earning enough Ahn to pay for the high costs K Corp treatment which necessitates more Enkephalin harvesting that leads to even more injuries requiring healing in the first place.

So as a Manager, Ayin especially, you are perpetually stuck in a loop of trying to not be too bad to lose everyone all at once due to injuries and death but also trying to not be too good that you can't trade videos for healing serum. Or you're stuck constantly trying to be the perfect manager everyday, making sure that you can balance how much Enkephalin you harvest to afford everything you need and how much you can afford to risk continously dealing with abnormalities.

P.S. Ayin needs to have cool drip like Alfonso does with her cool as green uniform. We need a CG of him wearing the Lobotomy Corporation logo and a snazzy yellow and red suit to match. (Abel and his suit don't count.) Then again, K Corp needs a better logo like L Corp does because K Corp just looks like a generic K while L Corp looks so cool with it's brain lobotomy logo. Maybe the two balance it out then...hmm.

Sorry for the long post. Just needed to get this out and ask for your own thoughts and opinions on this. Maybe even your thoughts and opinions on L Corp's own relatonship between the other Corporations, especially between the Ayin and Alfonso as neighboring District CEOs, Ayin's other closely allied Wings like R Corp and W Corp.

Dear Anonymous,

Goodness me, what an ask! Though, I'm certainly not complaining about long headcanons like yours, heh. Before I voice my own thoughts, I'll have to give you FULL CREDIT and say that I DIDN'T COME UP WITH ANY OF YOUR HEADCANONS, ANON. Sometimes I wonder if these disclaimers are necessary, but you can never be too safe...

I always thought that the relationship between Wings was messy at best and antagonistic at worst, so your analysis is quite accurate in my opinion. After all, for example, Ayin's support for T-Corp ever since it was a small business and pumping so much Ahn into them would mean they're indebted to him, so it would explain how he managed to receive TT2 Protocol machines in all of his Lobotomy Corp. branches (and if Limbus is to be believed, then there are a LOT of them all over the City), so being indebted to any Wing, regardless of how big you are, would certainly make you more willing or forced to answer to their orders and bypass your own morals or ideals...

After all, on Day 50, Ayin explicitly says that he hated seeing all of the deaths his employees had to endure, so I'm fairly certain he wouldn't intentionally order their deaths had the situation not demanded it. In fact, many of the Abnormalities that need employee deaths have a workaround to their mechanics that don't necessitate you to sacrifice employees...although it's possible that Clerks were made to be the sacrificial lambs to be offered to Alfonso for snuff videos, given that they're not exactly very useful otherwise and it's implied that they're clones of the Agents, seeing how they're not even given names, just numbers and letters. At least, that's the case in the main Lobotomy Corporation branch.

At the same time, I think it was Ayin who held a lot of leverage over the entire City at some point. Remember that Lobotomy Corp. was, at least outwardly, an energy company, and energy is something that we know the City can never have enough of. In fact, we saw just what happens when he's not in the picture; T-Corp. struggles with having enough energy to provide its services to R-Corp., for example, as we see in LoR. In addition, I think that it was implied here or there that W-Corp. as well had some energy shortages thanks to the disappearance of Lobotomy Corporation from the picture, and that's not mentioning contracts with R-Corp. where LC provided the energy. Heck, the Enkephalin was so valuable that Hopkins was so giddy stealing a couple of batteries and saying it'd make him rich. Even "regular" consumers were quite happy with the (relatively) cheap, clean technology, especially when LC's predecessor was none other than the Smoke-using L-Corp. that everyone hated for being too polluting and scarce with the energy they provided.

So while I think that Ayin could've been pressured by the other Corporations into providing more energy for them in exchange for more K-Corp. ampoules or other products, once he was well-established and providing energy to almost every single other Wing out there, he was the one who held power over them. Who would possibly risk their entire supply chain being ruined when L-Corp. just decides to shut off the energy pipes? Alfonso would certainly be a pain in the behind at first, but with time, she might have to content with what she has. It's the same logic of why no matter how badly you hate your electricity company, your first thought would be 'we want to change its leadership', not 'we want to destroy this company', because regardless of the damage you'd do to them, you'd shoot yourself in the foot tenfold.

Though, I do like the thought of Ayin providing K-Corp. with the snuff videos as an 'amicable' gesture to keep the peace. After all, his plans were never to dominate other Wings, but to placate them as much as possible until the Seed of Light scenario succeeds, one way or another, even if that method made him compromise on a lot of his morals and go down some terrible paths indeed...

As for the suit idea, I actually really like it. I like to think all Wing owners have snazzy, dapper suits that steal the lights of any room they enter, and Ayin could've probably used one that simply used his lab-coat in the same way Hokma uses his coat in LoR, while his black shirt and pants could've been given some golden patterns for extra classiness while serving as a reminder that if his life had changed just the slightest bit, then perhaps Ayin would've made a terrifyingly efficient Arbiter.

...Yet, I feel Ayin would refuse such a suit, thinking he doesn't deserve it after everything he caused. I mean, compare his appearance on Day 50 to Alfonso; he just looks like a regular, somewhat malnourished man while Alfonso is in her prime despite (probably) being well over 40 or 50. I don't think Ayin was the type to indulge in the lavish lifestyle he could've led, seeing how he felt so guilty and so pained that his mind split into three pieces to attempt and cope.

Still, it was a VERY interesting headcanon, Anon, and I thank you for sharing it! Until next time, be well, take care, and see ya'!

Binah Pining Headcanons

Lobotomy Corporation Warnings for mentions of exhaustion and passing out

yes i will eventually do Ruina ones too

~ * ~ -You are the one single thing she is uncertain about -Everything else is trivial and dull to someone as apathetic as she. But you, oh you- whenever she sees you her mind short circuits, going blank for a brief moment -It doesn’t sound like much, but it is for Binah, she’s not used to being lost for words from just a simple glance -She doesn’t know whether to confront you or keep quiet, either- her heart starts acting weirdly whenever she approaches you, even if it’s with work-related business -It results in a lot of her staring at you from across the room as you feel a pair of eyes bore into the back of your skull -Binah expresses these odd feelings in small ways- leaving a cup of hot tea for you, carefully organizing the files you need to work on so she can make your job a little easier, or just keeping an eye on you from afar -She’s entirely aware of how intimidating she is, so at first she tries to refrain from actually speaking to you most of the time. Yet you don’t seem to mind, engaging her in conversation on your own volition like she’s one of your coworker friends -The casual talks you have together become a bright spot in the otherwise midnight depths of the Extraction Department -It’s a little surreal for your fellow employees, seeing you chatting with their Sephirah so calmly as she listens intently to your every word -You can talk about anything, even the most boring, silly matters, and the normally cold Binah will still become keenly interested in the subject -Sidenote: she really wants to wrap you in her cloak, as it can get rather cold in the facility (and she also just wants to hug you but don’t tell anyone that)-Once you passed out from exhaustion and woke up with her heavy furred coat draped over your body- she never did explain why…

-Speaking of which, Binah begins picking up on your habits and mannerisms during work. She’s incredibly observant, but this is the first time she’s actually cared about observing anything apart from death and destruction -She worries, silently, when she knows you’re not feeling well and sees you come to work anyways. On the days she can see you struggling to even function, she’ll come over and suggest that you retire for the evening. It comes out sounding more like a command, but the sentiment is there -As I mentioned, there have been times where you’ve fallen asleep at your desk due to overwork or sickness, and somehow, every time, you find yourself back in your bed when you wake up again. No one knows how it happened, because Binah’s very careful to make sure no one sees her carrying you back to your room -She’s internally hesitant about touching you. Her touches never linger, merely a brief hand on your shoulder most of the time, but it’s more than she offers anyone else. She knows her strength, so any touches are kept light, as to not hurt you -Keeps you away from the Well, no questions asked -When before Abnormality breaches only sparked vague interest, now her first thoughts go to you and if you’re alright- for some odd reason, she doesn’t relish your pain as she does for the rest of humanity -So she keeps you nearby as often as she can, close to someone she knows can protect you. She’s not an ex-Arbiter for nothing -If you have the habit of crafting little gifts for your coworkers, she’ll keep any you might give her forever, even if they’re just made of paper or something -Binah likes it when you laugh. It makes her feel something warm, something other than apathy -Practices smiling less sadistically- only for you, though. Luckily, you don’t seem to mind her smile either way -If you happen to hum while you’re working, she’ll find herself idly humming along, soft enough for no one but her to hear. She has a nice singing voice, even if no one knows about it -Her heart doesn’t entirely melt, per se, but it does defrost in your presence, just a little bit -Binah doesn’t know if she’ll ever be able to confess to you. In your current situation, it feels impossible- yet she finds herself hoping for the first time, wishing to say those simple words to you someday in the future. But not today. Or tomorrow. Or the day after that -(She knows how she would confess, though- she’d give you her other earring)

[ruinaimagines]

Hello, hello! Quite happy to see you back, was getting a bit worried seeing you be inactive for so long! That aside I was curious what your thoughts would be on how the Sephirah would react to an employee teaching nothing there to shitpost!

These poor poor sephirah… And thank you for the concern! I assure you that even if I depart I am likely a-okay. This was a fun one, hope you enjoy

Sephirah Reacting to an Employee teaching Nothing There to Shitpost Headcanons:

Malkuth would be absolutely baffled upon hearing whatever ungodly things you taught this aleph to mutter. It’s enough to make even a workaholic like her freeze in her tracks with sheer confusion. Why.. Did you teach it to say that?? She imagined that an employee capable of repeatedly working with such dangerous abnormalities would be a bit more mature.. Her assumption was wrong. She might scold you a bit but I think she’s too fascinated with it to actually care too much. Usually she always has something to say.. But this? No words. Kind of thinks some of the bizarre things you taught it to say are funny but would never admit that because she does not want to tarnish her attempts at being the prime sephirah.

Lord, I think you would send Yesod into cardiac arrest. Probably calls for a meeting to figure out who’s responsible for this and chastises their immature behavior being unbefitting of a corporate employee. It depends on how good you are at keeping a poker face because his pure seriousness about this is absolutely priceless. You’d think he was yelling at you for kicking his dog or something. Sighs with a really stressed tone and probably utters something under his breath as the meeting ends. If you are found out you’re likely going to get a huge scolding and have to work overtime. It’s worth it though.

Hod is sort of nervous first and foremost because she is concerned about the safety and potential repercussions you can experience for training an abnormality in such a way. After seeing how much fun it is for you though she’d support it considering the place is usually so dark and dreary.. It’s a nice contrast to see some people enjoying themselves. Doesn’t understand half of the things the meat dog is saying, but over time you may find she is gradually developing a quiet sense of humor towards the stupid things you do.

Netzach helps you. He does not care at all for this place, let alone formality, so you can guarantee he’s probably making his own suggestions. Also finds it funny to see Yesod so distressed over this. He doesn’t really interact with the abnormality itself but he will cover for you if you need it, implying it's someone else or even taking the blame altogether just so you can get away with it. You two are a devious duo and there is an impending sense of dread whenever you are in the vicinity. This is pretty much the only time he puts effort into planning things out and it’s all for some dumb humor. Definitely have inside jokes.

Tiphereth is like Yesod but worse. Huffs about how she’s the child yet you keep acting like one, doesn’t get half of the things Nothing There says but immediately knows it’s something bad, and can always tell when you are plotting something. If you work in her department with the abnormality, she has on multiple times threatened to move you out, and has even gone through with it once. It somehow does not stop you. Stares at you with the intensity of 50 suns the moment you have the audacity to step in the slightest direction of Nothing There. She has scrounged every single part of the corporation’s terms and conditions to find some rule you’re violated, and made multiple reports on why you can not keep getting away with this. Only Yesod really agrees.

Chesed is thoroughly entertained by this. He may not outright participate like Netzach, but he silently encourages it by urging you to continue telling your stories. Most of the time he’s just sitting around doing work in his office so he’s not going to say no to something new. Doesn’t really take part in your scheming but always knows when something is done because of Tiphereth, it’s his alarm that you’re up to trouble. Has hosted you in his department to hide away from the others like a fugitive before.

Gebura hates abnormalities. She does not understand why you are doing this, especially when it poses an unnecessary threat to your own safety. Overall views abnos like Nothing There as detestable creatures incapable of domestic feats like training. That said, hearing it cuss out and insult employees –even sephirah– at times is pretty funny. It says things that no man working there would ever have the courage to, and that bluntness is laughable at times. She believes that if you are going to mess around with it somehow then this is one of the least awful ways.

Hokma is too tired for this man. He’s old and too caught up in philosophical ramblings. Doesn’t necessarily tell you to stop, but if you bring it up he will turn it into what feels like a 4 hour session dissecting the implications that’s vaguely reminiscent of when grandparents go ‘back in my day’ and proceed to verbally produce an essay. You’ll be asleep by the time he’s finished and remind yourself to never directly approach him about it again. I think he would let you off easy because he totally would have thought about doing this when he was younger.

Binah’s reaction is completely incomprehensible. You’d think by the way she was staring you down with an ominous aura that she was unimpressed by your childish attempts at playing around. You couldn’t be more wrong. She is going to cease an opportunity to mess with people at any point, and will directly help you with getting Nothing There to shitpost. You think Netzach would plan things out? She has a full schedule that she presents to you to optimize the teaching process, carefully plotted out with graphs and condensed sheets of paper. You will figure out how to make it speak full sentences bordering on some revolutionary discovery all because it’s humorous. No one knows she is helping you because she is so good at keeping it hidden behind a neutral look on her face. No one would dare question Binah after all, not with her intimidating composure, which makes it so easy for her to take part (not even you initially thought she would go along with this). It’s a secret alliance between you two.

[ifuckingloveryoshu]

Hey im so sorry. My roommate has cursed me with this question and i think you are qualified to answer it.

Is ryoshu a milf?

Most Truthful Answer: We'll find out in her Canto. We don't know yet, there's lots of references to raising kids within her mirror worlds (Cheif Butler and Lobotomy Corp) and any mention of family catching her attention. (Politly, don't tell me shit about the most recent Canto. I know she said something there, I saw the interaction with Gregor, nothing else. Zip it. ) but that is not absolute confirmation yet. Theories range from her being the mother, the daughter, the Emperor of Horikawa, or all three at once. That last ones not my theory though so its not mine to tell. All are valid. We don't know if she's a MILF yet.

My Personal Headcanons: Absolutely, but she acts so unlike it unless the subject is brought up. Im biased. I don't know how MILFs operate. Enlightenment would be nice. In my books, if she was a mother, she qualifies as a MILF. She doesn't have to do anything else. You raise a kid, your a MILF. M is for mother and idk what the other letters mean. Debatably, Outis is more MILF if she's Odysseus, a serial cheater, and does in fact have a family to come back to. Virgilius is the second closest to MILF on that bus.

Thank you for the question! Please tell your roommate that their question was nice. Anyone else can weigh in if they'd like.

Under the cut is me rambling unimportant stuff. Descriptive Nsfw, Veiw At Own Discretion

My brain is weird about Ryoshu and I overthink her niche in my life. I've accepted that my obsession with her is strange in the way my approach remains inconsistent? The sheer act of calling her milf makes me feel strange. I love her in many ways and I am ashamed of that because it's difficult to love in a healthy way.

Ive rotted my brain so milf is forever lewded, and thinking lewdly about Ryoshu is a mixed bag. So by default, I don't think Ryoshu is a milf if your definition of milf is mommy curvaceous plump ass tight lips bimbo, child rearing hips, because that's now how she is. If the parameters for milf = Soft spoken dommy mommy, she is absolutely not a milf. To make it clear, Im not accusing anyone of this, these are my thoughts, I just don't like when Limbus Company characters are mischaracterized, Ryoshu esspecially. Yet, I also acknowledge that I do mischaracterize her myself because of my own biases and Ill repeat that over and over.

I should go to bed before I type more stupid shit.

[heebieshellscape]

Idk if anyone's theorized/ headcanoned this... but what if Niffty and Vox were married in life?

What if Niffty was a Japanese war bride, brought over to America after the war, and married to Steve J. Voxford?

This implies that Vox is a WWII veteran, but that wouldn't be surprising as lots of young men fought for their country in that time.

After the war, Vox became an anchor on the local news, and he and Niffty had a comfortable suburban life.

But the rose-tinted view was not to last. Vox became controlling and manipulative as he climbed the television industry ladder, and Niffty turned into a mentally unstable housewife. Vox was even in the process of getting her a lobotomy to fix her.

She murdered her cockroach of a husband and his mistress in a fit of jealous rage after discovering he was cheating on her, and consequently committed suicide days later, even though she'd scrubbed the crime scene so clean that it was impossible to tell there had been a murder.

Skip forwards to Hell.

Vox Corp is the biggest thing since radio, Niffty tries to make ends meet by earning wages as a maid, though not very successfully. She keeps getting fired for staring into space while the vacuum runs, or burning eggs as she smiles vacantly.

Enter Alastor.

After he breaks off his partnership with Vox, Alastor takes Niffty under his wing through their shared hatred of the television demon -- and though Niffty tends to have a hard time remembering, she sometimes feels a hollow wrath at the sight of a television or camera...

[markerofthemidnight]

hello hi waves. i kindly ask again for lobotomy corp abnormality hcs. literally any of them

The Queen of Hatred

She’s one of the few Abnormalities in the facility who looks almost exactly the same with the cognition filter on as she does with it off. That’s right: she literally does look like that in person.

The corporation has tried to show her the outside world in order to make her realise just how much the world needs her, thus fixing her problems.

However, the realisation was too much for her and she ended up transforming on the spot. L Corp decided against taking a risk like that again.

In the game she’s said to display symptoms of some kind of dissociative disorder, so… well, there’s no way to say this that doesn’t sound at least a little offensive, but I still think I should confirm this: yes, Queen does in fact have DID.

The Snake that she becomes when she transforms is a protector made to keep her safe from the “reality” that her purpose is fulfilled and there isn’t anything left for her to do in the world. (referring to the Snake with ‘it/its’ to distinguish from Queen herself; sorry if this feels offensive!)

If Queen believes that because she was made for good, it’s all she’s capable of, then the Snake is the same but with evil.

Does it doubt that sometimes? Probably. I can’t imagine living like that and not being kinda guilty about it, especially given who its host is, but it doesn’t let that get in the way of its job.

Yes, this is also why she doesn’t remember any of her rampages. Good old dissociative amnesia.

And I know DID is typically developed at a really young age, but… she’s an Abnormality. Not to mention, according to her, she was made, not born, so it’s entirely possible that she’s actually only a few years old.

Anyways, back to the barely-disguised ball of stress that is The Queen of Hatred!

She acts pretty snakelike even in her normal form. Her favourite food that she’s supplied with during Instinct works are live mice.

She shall always take great amusement in seeing the look on an Agent’s face after they see her just casually pick up a mouse and swallow it whole without even bothering to kill it.

Aside from that, she also has a forked tongue and will sometimes hiss at enemies she faces during Second Trumpets, particularly ones where she felt particularly manic before things started going down in the Corporation.

With all the insane writing she does on walls and the crazy laughter you sometimes hear from her, a lot of Agents would say she’s even crazier than the Snake.

Her EGO Suit is even girlier in real life than it is with the filter on, and she will never stop complimenting anyone who wears it.

Oh, and also: I don’t know why, but I think she’d make a great wingman. She is the Magical Girl of Love, so it makes sense she’d know a thing or two when it comes to dating!
