thinking SO much about the link between dante and moses. their ability to 'sense' distortions in the same manner as one another. moses gets very existential about it in Distortion Detective, and the loneliness of the feeling was omnipresent.

also in moses' line of "I can’t fathom what would happen once the distortion of this world continues and reaches a critical point." does point to what we saw in the TGS trailer of the many deaths in June of 985. i deeply hope dante can meet moses in person soon and this gets developed on quick, this is a plot thread i am very interested in!!

(quote from DD under the cut!)

"To my eyes, I’m the only one who doesn’t appear distorted. In a world full of distorted people, could the one person who remains unchanged be the “distorted” one? As I look at all the distorted people, the distorted streets, and this distorted City, I come to think that maybe the whole world is distorted. I can’t fathom what would happen once the distortion of this world continues and reaches a critical point." (Distortion Detective, Chapter 1)

Limbus Theory Time Part 2 (The Don One)

Ok so, lot of people have been speculating on how Don is absolutely going to be emotionally destroyed next Canto. Distortion seeming like, the bare minimum of the shit she's in for. However, allow me to propose a different idea.

Don already Distorted before

So, part of what made me come up with this theory was looking at the observation log for Distorted!Heathcliff, which is actually written by Don. Now, despite the fact Heathcliff and Don actually have an odd friendship going on, she takes it... surprisingly well. Like, way too well.

Like, she seems to consider it the same way she considered beating up Sinclair back in Canto III. Which she even said was what her "friends" used to do to her whenever she acted up. Now I think me and a lot of people took this in a abuse direction... but what if that's not what it was? What if she knows about beating someone down to reverse a distortion because she herself already had that happen to her?

Don has an interesting relationship with Distortions whenever they come up. She doesn't really comment on it against Kromer or during Hell's Chicken... but guess who's the first person to speak up the first time the Sinners actively see someone talking to Carmen?

She immediately recognizes it as a distortion. Not only that, but she actually drops her normal speaking pattern. But that's not the only weird connection to Distortions that Don has... check out this line from the conversation during the mini-episode between To Claim Their Bones and Canto VI

Not only was she asking for the name of whoever wrote the report on distortions, but she specifically recognizes Moses' name. The Distortion Detective. Someone who's entire job is reversing distortions. And yet again, she kinda drops her usual speaking pattern when it comes up.

Don definitely knows more about Distortions than the average Sinner, has some history with Moses that she can't quite remember, and immediately recognizes someone talking with Carmen. Add on a history of being beaten down by "old friends" for acting up, which is the same attitude she applies to a distorted Heathcliff...

I think Don distorted before in the past. Hell, possibly even multiple times. Maybe she doesn't remember it entirely (Heathcliff himself is a little confused at what happened after he undistorts) but I think it definitely happened. Either her worldview has been broken before... or she created that worldview because she was broken before. Maybe her "Impossible Dream" is what guided her out of the distortion.

Now, if this means she'll distort again or reject it and manifest like a fluorescent ego for a while, I don't know. But I do think that if she does end up in a state where she hears Carmen, it won't be the first time she's had a conversation with her.

Haha oh boy two Limbus text posts with moderate but not negative reception and I’m already going into controversial territory

My picks for distortion detective ids :) … oh boy I’m gonna be put in the singing machine for there but THEY ALL HAVE REASONINGS YOUR HONOUR

Let’s just start with the easy ones

Ezra and Dias : Ezra don/Dias Faust … do I need to explain these ? Well Ezra is very energetic and a big fan of Workshops just like don but exchange workshops with fixers. And Faust and Dias just click … ya dig ?

The one where there isn’t an obvious choice but which will need an explanation

YuRia I believe should be ryoshu, her „interest“ in psychomends mirrors ryoshus „interest“ in „art“ her personality also fits onto ryoshu more than other options (yi sang because smart and an inventor… and that’s about it Faust is already given to dias)

Oh boy this is gonna have people look at me weird

Vespa crabro: now meursault is the obvious pick and one I’d agree with, one small issue tho… I believe SINCLAIR is a better pick in all honesty. Why ? Let’s start superficial, young and a powerhouse (especially when they experience strong emotions).and for the more story aspects. They were forced out of a rather good position in life without any choice. Vespa losing his job and Sinclair losing his family and they both have a bad history with an evil group (we don’t know if Vespa was traumatized by the thumb like Nagel und Hammer traumatized Sinclair but it’s clear he holds distain for the syndicate)

And now for the grand finale the thing I might get hate for

Moses

And no it is NOT outis … stop booing me I’m right „but old woman“ „but smoke war“ well guess what. The person I’m thinking off neutralizes both points and yes ITS GREGOR first the superficial points… Gregor is old too bro is 35 he’s already standing with two feet in his grave and yeah smoke war and stuff… also both Gregor and Moses are missing an arm and they both smoke… now for the story THE BIG THING why I believe Gregor is a better pick. It’s because they resemble each other. Just on different sides of the war. Both were essentially brainwashed by a powerful entity on their side of the war. Hermann the head scientist of g Corp and Dias the cult leader of the Udjat. Both also were the favorite underling of said powerful figure and both Moses and Gregor were put into a leadership position Gregor being the mascot and war hero of g Corp, Moses the captain of the udjat and both now have major ptsd from the war also holding distain for their respective brainwasher. And let’s not forget both have been on record for turning into a creature when in emotional distress

Or in short: Ezra/don Dias/Faust YuRia/ryoshu Vespa/Sinclair Moses/Gregor
