#thank you for the ask! i love ask just as much as I love ryoshu

[ifuckingloveryoshu]

Hi I saw ur tags on my posts lol 🔥😭😭 thank you so much for liking my ryoshu and oc arts, but can I ask where did the name of yuzuki for ryoshu's daughter came from? I don't think hell screen mentioned her name?

Thank you for helping me get up this morning. Very short tldr but vauge answer: Hell Screen has been translated and adapted enough you could have read the a translation that keeps called Yoshihide's daughter, "Yoshihide's daughter"

If you read the Little Penguins Books Publishing, they did not use Yuzuki as the name from what I can see, but Yuzuki exist somewhere.

Lazily doing a half-baked investigation under read more.

I will never claim to know anything about translation and I had too little sleep to do things today. I'm also broke so I can't go cross refrence evey translation and adaptation of Hell Screen. I hope someone better than I can could look into this or help out. Ill come back to this maybe

This is absolutly not how you do research or go off of things but Penguin Publishing version reviews don't use the Yuzuki name so I'm thinking they don't use her name there. The Jay Rubin Translation doesn't use Yuzuki. I say that because I'm re-listening to this while cross refrencing a pdf I found. Im guessing their one in the same.

This archeologist/writer named matthewrettino uses Yuzuki when talking about Hell Screen

Haunted Places Ghost Stories did a reading on this and unrelated but they pronounce Monkehide how an american would so its, "MONKEY HIDE." But anyway, they use it. They just spell it liker Uzuki

Portrait of Hell or Jingokuhen make Yoshihide Korean, apparently. I wanted to put that here, it''s not really important, just an example of an adaptation changing something. You have a story for so long and things get changed.

It's part of human history and how we tell stories, we like adapting things and giving thigs new meaning just like Ryoshu. She's not named Yoshihide but we're all thinking, "Yeah, she's Yoshihide, she likes art, she has fire, shes sadistic, that's Yoshihide." But she's not an old man, Yoshihide never spoke in acronyms, Yoshihide's not a woman. Jesus Christ was never white. He was born in Jerusulm in a dessert, it would be strange if he was white. Most people living in the middle east and closer to the sun normally have darker skin because they have more melanin in their skin to protect from the sun. The image has been passed around so much that, at least in our Eurocentric culture, I can't find the word for it, Jesus is commonly depicted as white. Yuzuki could have never had the name in the original language, or the inverse, she could have had a name but time let it go through the skin of its fingers and it was lost to oblivion. We just need to rediscover where it's orgin came from.

Meme - A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another

The name Yuzuki might as well be a meme. If it wasn't in the orginal version of Hell Screen, it just exist now. That's why people are like, "Yuzuki, that's the name of Yoshihide's daughter. That sounds right!" Because idea's spread from text, imagry, music notes, whatever you have come to life like a spark of flame from a lighter and drift off from its starting point. The co2 particles relase into the air and up to the clouds, and when enough people emmit co2 at a rate thats unsustantable for our planet, big things happen. Really big things happen. Or you just scream so loud that no one hears you and much like the effects of smoking, damage your lungs.

I hope it doesn't feel like I'm pulling stuff out of my ass. I'll come back to this and when I have a solid answer, i'll tell you or reblog this. No worries.

[unma]

I'm not going to be able to write my typical long rambles for a bit (need to catch up on important work), but here's a short list of things I wanna talk about with the latest canto.

Spoilers, of course.

The entire Canto taking place after the ending of Don Quixote (the first Don, I will not call him the Actual Don because our Don is as much Don Quixote as he is) is not something I expected, but makes so much sense and made for a wonderful story. There are themes of identity, struggling to live under a broken system and GOD THE FAMILIAL TIES. THE FIGHT AGAINST THE TWO MIDBOSSES + THE PRIEST HAD SUCH MAGNIFICENT STORY BUILD UP. AND THE PRIEST'S ENTIRE MOVESET. UGGGH I WANNA TALK ABOTU IT

Hey. Outis. What did you mean by that. We all know what I'm talking about, right? This is the first time I know of that she's actually given even a smidge of info about herself somewhat directly. Somewhat. Everything else is just in how she knows things and acts. Here she is asking a very specific question and god, I need to know more about her now.

Good job Sinclair. And everyone else. But good job Sinclair.

Vergilius with Sanson's face/mask is cursed.

I continue to feel so so bad for the Bloodfiends. They did the best they could in a world that gave them only two horrible options. I couldn't help but compare La Manchaland to the Tokyo Ghoul:RE ending, because the hemobars reminded me of the artificial meat, except in TG:RE it worked and here, well. We saw how that went. I think it's a great idea to start with the after of their solution; this isn't a situation with a possible solution, they tried that and failed. Who knows if there is one that works? Does it matter now that they're all dead?

I'm going to be very weird about Camille once this is all said and done, but I do want to note that the pretty boy being turned into a flower and having a name very clearly gotten from Carmilla the flower (and maybe the book? Haven't read it yet so idk if he's taken from there) is very cheeky. I still wish I could've besting him up myself. This isn't me critiquing the writing, this is me being weird.

The QTE in the ending cutscene of the boss fight was cool and really added to the feeling of fighting against and overcoming a clearly superior foe.

I wanna hug Don Quixote the First. He's such a ray of sunshine and deserved better. Even if he was somewhat delusional, at least he genuinely cared for his family.

What happened to Hong Lu's sister? Did she just vanish? I didn't notice until later on, so I'll probably need to go back and check myself.

Bari is the Librarian of Death (edit: Nameless Bookhunter, thanks for the correction AE)? Idfk and idc for now. If Bari ends up showing up again or a moot of mine decides they wanna talk about it, maybe I'll look into it.

The familial themes here are most certainly also going to be related to Hong Lu's story, which once more is a reason I really should get to reading all the books for this game.

Ryoshu accepting death from the possibility of fighting Don Qui the second was really funny.

The abno fights here are really good, and I love how Limbus is making unbreakable coins the standard from now on. Makes it so you can't just blaze through fights taking no damage, and these battles genuinely feel difficult. That's good. Their designs and mechanics are also pretty easy to understand and match with their ego gifts pretty well. God I wish we had more Rupture ids that could stack as much count as the Lasso abno.

Sancho fight was cool as hell. The clashable 10 speed skill was so good and made it feel like a massive improvement on the Cassetti fight. So good. On use coin power did mess me up a little given it doesn't show up in the clash numbers, but that was on me for not reading tbh.

Fun fact: final boss can be Meatlantern soloed really easily. So easy in fact that that's how I cleared it. Doing it with a full team didn't end well for me. The solo's also really consistent, which is nice.

Mili song is really good. As usual. I need to go listen to it again. I need an in-game mix. I need it. The childishness of Sancho's side of the tune compared with the seriousness of first Don's side is lovely.

Also. Please, in the final clash where you use Don's base ego. I hope you looked at the name of the ego and the name of Don the First's attack. Please. It's such a good detail. And it's so much better when you remember that Sancho was always the one making weapons for Don. He calls Sancho's lances much more graceful than his. It's so lovely. You can tell these two genuinely love each other. It's so good.

Also the fact that basically every fixer we went in with got wiped out by weakened Bloodfiends really shows just how powerful these bloodfiends are. Camille had to resort to using ego gear to survive. Sheesh.

That'll be all for now. Expect a long ramble on any of these points when I'm more free, aka never.

[ryoshudoodles]

What's your favorite Ryoshu ID? :>

Oooooh hard to say. Every single Ryoshu is my favourite Ryoshu. Let me make an ID tier list

First. They are all S Tier. But allow me to explain my choices

Starting on Hold hands tier

Seven Ryoshu- She looks lovely, I just can't find a use for her in any of my teams so I haven't gotten as attached to her as I have to other IDs. I still love her tho. She's the coffee shop AU Ryoshu.

Warp Ryoshu- I use Warp shu a LOT. She was one of the first truly good IDs I got and has been carrying me ever since. I just don't find her as conceptually interesting as other IDs. She's simply a version of herself that is constantly free to give into her base instincts and violent tendencies.

I love you tier

Liu Ryoshu- It is no secret that I find Liu Ryoshu extremely sexy. And that is just one of the reasons why I like her. It's fun to imagine what kind of interactions she would have with the Ishmael and Rodya of that mirror world.

Yurodivy Ryoshu- The hottest things a woman can be is: deranged and a communist.

Chef Ryoshu- Chef Ryoshu is a really fun ID. Just like warp, it's an ID where she's even more enabled than base Ryoshu but I find the tone of it immensely comedic simply because of her complete inability to cook. I like to imagine that it takes a dozen tries before one pie eventually comes out right.

Sweet awful princess tier

Base Ryoshu- Base Ryoshu is the Ryoshu that made this all possible. I just adore her to bits in ways I can't explain. She's such a fun twist on the edgelord lonewolf starving artist gone mad archetypes all in one.

LCCB Ryoshu- I wrote a whole fanfic about this one. Naturally, I've grown attached to her to an unnatural degree, even if I don't actually use her that much in game. Besides being straight-up adorable, gun shu is very interesting under a narrative microscope. She's way more calm and obedient, and I think that is caused by her not being as close and personal with her art.

Kurokumo Ryoshu: She's the first Ryoshu ID I ever got. I used her for a long time because I was SO HAPPY that I finally had one ID of her. Again, very violent ID, but there's so much room to imagine what it would be like for the Gang of idiots to interact. Besides, her design is just gorgeous. I want more tattooed IDs for her.

Maid Ryoshu: This ID is really an outlier among all the others. It's Ryoshu's kindest self, but without losing what makes her Ryoshu. She's still scary, violent and strong, but it really shows that even she can be caring. Before TKT it was one of the few things we could point to to demonstrate that she wasn't just a one note character (since not everyone reads the source material). Also I made a really... really silly bet with one of my friends because of her and I don't know what I'm gonna do now.

Thanks for asking :D

[cinders2cinders]

👜, 🥦 for Ryoshu and 🤧, 💌 for Gregor ‼️

HELLO SHAYITHY. THANKS FOR THE ASK!

Ryoshu:

👜- Pick an outfit you'd like to see your f/o in!

Ryoshu gives off the impression that she's pretty laidback with her wardrobe. Or at least from what I can tell from her uniform. She wears a low cut collared shirt, she has a strap to make it convenient to carry her blade, is one of the three sinners to not wear a tie and she doesn't even put her arms through her jacket sleeves like a FREAK. So I feel like she'd dress in an outfit that's convenient, not exactly casual but convenient; an outfit that won't get in the way of what she needs to do. That sentiment probably extends to attire that's not work related.

She likely wouldn't want to wear clothing that's too loose, that would make it easy for the fabric to get snagged by a blade. However Ryoshu obviously wouldn't wear something that's absurdly tight either, that's too restrictive for her.

.. although in terms of specific outfits, I found this, I'm in love, I need her in it ASAP.

🥦- Whats a food your f/o and you or your oc absolutely dread!!

I'm going to be so honest when I say that I don't think Ryoshu cares about how food tastes. She definitely has preferences, but I doubt taste alone is what stops her from eating whatever's in front of her unless it's truly abominable. I think what particularly catches her fancy with food is its presentation, what the food looks like and the methods used to cook it. You could give her the tastiest food on the planet, but if it looks plain it's going to bore her. If your meal is presented in an "artistic" manner, she'll eat it out of respect.. although she won't hesitate to tell you it tastes like shit. She likes to do new stuff whenever she cooks (if the kebab and her meal in Hell's Chicken is any indication) so seeing others reflect that same interest makes her feel content even if she doesn't like how something tastes.

.. with the exception of overly greasy food. Do not give her some oily burger wrapped in tissue paper, that's a death wish. Burgers in of themselves? Perfectly fine, if not a bit boring, but oh my days if she can feel the greasy oil between her fingers she'll outright refuse to eat it and glare at you with a strangely threatening acronym if you insist.

Basil on the other hand doesn't particularly care for how a meal is dressed, at least not anymore. Food doesn't bring him joy, with the exception of hard boiled sweets he has stored in a container. Sugar seems to calm his nerves somehow, almost as if he's trying to bathe his body in the memories of simpler times.

He's relatively polite when recieving food all things considered, but if it wasn't required for his survival he probably wouldn't bother eating at all. If anything, ever since joining Limbus Company, he's become more prone to skipping meals. Not that he'd ever go without eating for so long to the point that Dante has to revive him, but knowing that revival is inevitable he cares far less.

Long story short, he dreads the thought of eating in general. The sheer act makes him miserable. Sweets/Candy is the only thing he's not unhappy with when eating.

Gregor:

🤧- How does your F/O take care of you/your oc when you're sick?

I'm not sure how well you could take care of someone who's sick while on Mephistopheles, but Gregor would definitely try even with his limited options. I have a feeling that Gregor would insist to the others that him sitting next to Basil would be a safe bet; if she sits beside his bug appendage rather than his human arm (so sitting to the left of him rather than the right), the sickness probably wouldn't spread. There is literally no science backing this up, it's just an excuse so he could keep an eye on her.

Basil is already one of the sleepier sinners while on the road, so when he's sick? The guy's out like a light, head falling right onto his bug arm. Gregor would probably feel guilty that he can't do much more than this, so he imagines stuff like reading to her or giving her some (probably tinned from his days during the Smoke War) soup.

💌- Is your f/o good at flirting? Or are they easily embarrassed? Do you or your oc go out of their way to embarrass them?

I hope you know this is one of the hardest questions of my life because I don't know how to phrase jackshit.

I feel like he definitely grasps the hows and whats of flirting, at least somewhat. He KNOWS what he likes about Basil and on paper he isn't exactly against the idea of making that known to Basil specifically. After all, Basil already showers him with compliments aplenty, making it abundantly clear that he thinks Gregor is beautiful, so why not express that the feeling's mutual? He practically aches to return the favour in some way.

.. the problem is that Gregor gets so stuck in his own head about it all that flirting becomes a right struggle. The moment he considers going for it, the guy's practically floundering and suddenly stumbles over his words like it's an olympic sport. Any semblance of the confidence he had like.. 2 seconds ago completely dies on his tongue. The most he'll probably let himself get away with is a little bit of prolonged eye-contact and fleeting touches.. aaand even then, he'll likely struggle to meet Basil's eyes after the fact. Gregor getting all ruffled up over something he wants to do becomes one of his biggest frustrations.

Basil doesn't quite figure out what he's trying to do, all she knows is that she doesn't really mind it. Gregor being so affected by his nerves is just a new side of him for Basil to admire.. which leads to temptations brewing. Most of the time, Basil doesn't have the heart to prod at him for this behaviour and instead simply lets him feel what he's feeling until it passes. Other times, he asks Gregor stuff such as "Heavens! Whatever is the matter?" knowing he'd get anything other than a clear and direct response, or even something more direct like "Hm, you seem awfully tense. Do you want to talk about it?" again while knowing Gregor would avoid the topic (by concocting the least convincing lie known to man).

Basil knows that he's the source of Gregor's behaviour, but can't for the life of him pinpoint the why of this conundrum. Strangely, he finds himself comforted by how skittish Gregor gets. Although he doesn't understand for a second how Gregor could possibly be nervous, to witness a man of beauty crumble over his nerves, to watch him try and conceal something so humble.. it is clear as day, vanity hasn't touched Gregor yet. Basil is determined to not make the same sin twice; Gregor is beautiful, but not a work of art.

Even as Basil one day finds himself pressing a gentle hand on Gregor's arm while the other man fumbled with his lighter, the artist letting out a sigh. A whisper followed, a soft plea to raise the safety blanket that only she had named as one.

"Alright alright.. breathe in, and then out. There is no need to be nervous. Take all the time you require, and then try again."

He cannot be a work of art.

[pielove123clan]

assuming you are reblogging the f/o ask memes because you would like to talk about your f/os :3c very sorry if u r not :c

🦷💌🖇️ -the horror one

🎒🍒 -the misc one

Yeah your right. I do want to. I don't know who this is but my f/o is Ryoshu. Answers are under the cut, nothing nsfw, I just felt like it. Thank you for reading!

🦷 does your f/o bite?

Absolutly. Yeah she does. I bite too. I bite more.

💌 would your f/o stalk you? what would be the gut dropping signs that you're being stalked? how would your special freak let you know? OR, would you stalk your f/o and how would they find out?

No, Id try to stalk her but she'd notice immeditely because she's really perceptive when it comes to that sort of thing. When I get very excited, I stomp and make loud foot steps. She'd give me the stink eye and if she was in a particularly bad mood, I bet Ryoshu would directly walk up to me and either take the odachi to my neck or slap me. Or threaten violence. Or maybe just grab me and then expose that I am there, in the area and then I would get very embarrassed for making a scene.

🖇️ how did you and your f/o meet if you've thought about it?

I've thought about this and I've told some of my friends but I've been thinking of doing a project moon au of my general self insert oc Lily. It's not the best explanation but yeah. The au version is an abnormality based off the Aztec god Huēhuecoyōtl. The explanations are either:

Found in the Mirror Dungeon and the abnormality somehow follows the Limbus crew out of the Mirror Dungeon and she simply (im thinking of playing around with the gender of the abnormality but im just using she for now because that's my gender) won't go back so it's agreed to store the abnormality in some other room within the corridor and for some reason, it has a particular liking to Ryoshu?

The abnormality was found outside an old Lobotomy facility wandering around and the bus crew has to deal with it.

In the Mirror Dungeon, specifically Ryoshu gets an EGO gift and it doesn't go away outside the Mirror Dungeon but the abnormality is within the EGO gift

Any interaction with the two exist inside a void and seperate reality with no context.

🎒- What is your f/o’s ideal pet? Would you want to take care of that type of animal together?

I have no idea. Cats or raccoons maybe? Actually, it can depend on the ID. Me, I don't want animals (birds are tempting but message me directly, any of you, if you want a bird rant. TLDR: Their an exotic animal that shouldn't be pets. Any bird ownner worth their salt would tell you DO NOT GET A BIRD.) I mean, Ryoshu cannonically tried to get a bird both in the book and in Limbus. I can at least confidently say I am the best bet with taking care of a bird but at the same time, If she doesn't want to put any work on the birds, I will do my best to re-home them. Birds are a lot of work. I'm already kind of stressed of inhereting my parrots when my mom dies. They hate my guts.

🍒- What is your f/o’s music taste like? How does it differ from your own?

Hmm. Her music taste feels rough, metalic. Its easy to say she'd be into metal music but I think she'd also be to some slower songs. I'm bad at describing music. Experimental music might be something she'd look into. What Ryoshu wouldn't be into would be things country music, not much into rap, or songs with non-sense lyrics like that Yummy song by Justin Beaver?

I have some random person on tumblr's Ryoshu playlist and they put Ghost Busters and, yeah. Yeah, I can see Ryoshu listening to Ghost Busters. It's got that flavor, that funk, that style. Time For Love is also in the same playlist and I've imagined Ryoshu listening to that, not for the message but the timbre of the vocalist. For a fact, her standards for music are high.

My music taste is all over the place. Some songs she'd like, some she wouldn't. Whenever I listen to folk music, she'd think it to be boring. I think we can both enjoy PinocchioP and Pinkshift together. IDKHTFM and Bear Ghost might be too prep-y for her. Touhou Arrangements are natually a mixed bag and so are Mili songs.

The moment Ghost Busters plays and her ears hear Vinesauce Joel go, "I AM THE RAT MAN" any device being used to play music will get cut in two. She doesn't appreciate Vinesauce Joel's magnum opus of the same shitty midi of the Ghostbuster's theme uttilized over and over. It's ruined the song for her.

[lobotemi]

formulating small thoughts on all of the sinners in limbus so far (some vague limbus company spoilers, LARGE TEXT WALL WARNING):

yi sang - the blorbo. the scrimblo even. he is definitely one of my favourite sinners after canto 4 (will post my full thoughts on that later) which is surprising because i didn't really like him that much before at all. i was really neutral on him but canto 4 has just made me love him to bits

faust - she is super interesting to me, considering her source material i think she has the potential to have the best canto. i am also just constantly entertained by her antics (hell's chicken was the BEST for getting to know everyone a little more outside of the main plot. i'm super excited for 4.5) it's obvious she's hiding something, i think dante even mentions as such, but i think that makes her cooler. she is the one who (presumably) recruited all the sinners and vergilius, so she's rlly rlly interesting and i hope we get to know more soon (soon as in 2 YEARS WHEN HER CANTO IS OUT)

don quixote - definitely top 3 sinners for me, she's everything... she grew on me so much, after things like her moment with sinclair, the facade slip in canto 2... she's just super interesting to me and i'm really excited to see what comes with her canto. plus her favourite moment of mine which is the bongy chicken log where she talks about eating the chickens, and then proceeds to not own up to it. phenomenal job don

ryoshu - hellscreen is one of my favourite pieces of literature referenced by limbus, and it's real fucked up. ryoshu is very entertaining to watch, though she rarely speaks. seeing sinclair translate her acronyms is very silly and overall as a character i really like her so far. excited to see what's to come for her

meursault - i like meursault, there's no one i actively dislike, but i'm just neutral on him. he's cool i just dunno how to feel about him yet. his source material is cool though i'm excited to see how his canto goes. his moment in hell's chicken was silly and made me like him a lot more

hong lu - he's silly. i think all of the sinners are silly but hong lu takes the cake. though after canto 4 i've started respecting him a lot more, he can be really mature and he is a sweet little guy he's just a little dumb sometimes. i really enjoy his presence in the group though, he's great, i can't wait for his canto (though i'll probably never read his source material because of its sheer length, but i'll probably force myself to eventually because i am interested). thank you project moon for making me read classical literature

heathcliff - funnily enough heathcliff was one of my least favourites out of the group at the start of the game, but he is definitely one of my favourites now. it's been really sweet to see him gradually start to care about the other sinners and he has mellowed out a lot which i appreciate. wuthering heights is cool and i'm excited to see his canto (which i think is coming after ishmael's, so hype!)

ishmael - ISHMAEL. she is amazing. wonderful. beautiful. i'm not sure if i'd say she's my favourite sinner but she is definitely in my top 3 with donquixote, though if you asked me idfk who else is in the top 3. SO excited for her canto and she seems really interesting from the tidbits we got about her so far. like, she's gone to the outskirts? i hope she finally gets the closure she needs and deserves (..and we get a sea shanty from mili LOL)

rodya - the mother of the group... rodya was another character i didn't really care for at the start of the game but she's SO sweet and i don't understand how i didn't like her. canto 2 wasn't my favourite but it was really silly and i hope she gets another focus canto at some point because it feels unfair that sinclair and yi sang (and probably everyone else from this point) get a mili song but gregor and rodya don't??? i dunno, i really like both of them and i think it's a shame since their arcs didn't feel complete.. so hopefully she gets more spotlight!

sinclair - sinclair is very very cool. i like him very much, his canto was really interesting and kromer was a really cool villain, i like seeing him slowly gain confidence over the story and demian looks to be a really cool character as well. like gregor and rodya, his arc didn't feel fully complete to me (?) but hopefully he can get more of a spotlight in the future despite canto 3 being phenomenal already. i am not opposed to more sinclair content, he fits in the group really well and he bounces off the other sinners well. i really like him!!!

outis - words cannot describe how excited i am to learn more about outis. she's such an asshole but we support women's wrongs. was there any need to make fun of sinclair like that in canto 4? no, but she did it anyway. she seems to give less and less of a fuck about maintaining her relationship with dante every canto and i find that hilarious, outis is amazing. i'm really excited for her canto, i like her a lot

gregor - he is done so wrong in his canto. SO WRONG... gregor deserves the world, all he has ever done is be a cool guy to the rest of the sinners and he was the first person to kinda be nice to dante. and that was from the start as well. massive respect to trauma dad he is amazing. i hope he gets more spotlight soon, he works so well in the group and he has such fun interactions with everyone.

dantehh - they're so cool. they're so amazing. shuckaroonies they are a really interesting character. i really REALLY appreciate that they're not a self-insert because i think that would shatter my soul. i'm really interested to find out who they are, how this whole reversing people's time came from and where they came from because faust seems to know who they were before. they are a very good executive manager. well done on scoring those goals for lcg you absolute legend

these obviously aren't my full thoughts on all of the sinners, i'd love to do individual posts analysing all of the sinners and possibly a post with predictions about the next cantos based on the their respective source materials. but this is just how i feel about them after engaging in limbus for about 2 months and getting into lobcorp and ruina. (if you have read this far, and somehow haven't played these two games, PLEASE PLAY THEM THEY ARE SO GOOD...........)

[ifuckingloveryoshu]

have you seen this fan mv for ryōshū? it's absolutely gorgeous and tore my heart out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR993znfi-0

anyways: i am so hyped and also scared for canto ix... i have so many horrible headcanons and theories about what could be the truth and i'm pretty sure whatever pm comes up with is going to devastate me even worse

Id love to hear your horrible head cannons and theories! I'm very curious! Just say if you don't want me to comment on them or if I do, ill be nice. No judging too critically here if it's explicitly not wanted.

I love that video. I had a break down because of that video before. A friend sent it to me and then I chucked it into my music playlist. While I was working on something, I suddenly hear the song play and then I had to stop everything I was doing.

That was the start of last month, I was curled up and crying. I am personally too emotional because from the the title alone, that how mourning feels, at least in my life. "condolences, and then life goes on" and that needs to be bottled in. Busisness as usual. I have't experinced a lot of physical actual deaths of people. What i've expericed were deaths of relationships in the sense but it would feel unsympathetic to relate those to actual live people death.

This song is an active cogno-hazard to my head. If I ever play this whole video while watching it in its entirety, I will distort every time without fail.

I get personal under the cut talking about a recent death experince this year. Not related to Ryoshu. Again, thank you so much for the ask! I am also horrified for for canto ix once it happens.

The only time in my life that my perspective on mourning and death was altered a little was this spring or summer actually when I went to Florida to see the state of one of my aunts. She was in critical condition already and we knew she needed support. First day was fine, she was just unconcious with a hospital bed in the middle of her house. The past days before, she was fully concious and still talking. So, next day at night, there was an emergency and she was choking I think? Something happened with and her family surrounded her bed. She was quiet until in one second, her body started convulging and her eyes shot wide open, then she stopped moving all together. Her daughter wept and the men solemnly hung their heads. I felt like an outsider but we weren't expecting her to die so soon on our second day there. We were already on the phone with the EMT and it was in the middle of being instructed to get some sort of white box with something to inject. We found out nothing could have saved my aunt because the canser had already been affect her body, whatever was in that box was likely to spare us the abrupt jolt of her body.

Anyways, the days after, I kind of experinced how normal families mourn, and there was a great synchrony in that family even after the death. Maybe it helped that no one was working but they were united even after the death on the days of quickly scrambling to plan a funneral. There was love there and a feeling of keeping united. A meaning to the words "Death can bring people closer together.' right in front of my eyes. But that connection was there before, it was only strenghtened and I was a little jelous for their unspoken trust towards each other.

That connectivity was abscent when either of my grandparents died. They were just dead, we planned the funneral, had the funeral, that was over. Back to living. The lulled on more messured like a legato stanza because the family, even through the death and planning of the funeral stayed connected.

Im being over dramatic because when anyone else in the family dies, mostly my dad's side, its the funneral, eat food, that's all. Condolences, and then life goes on, an impersonal affair but we need to wrap things up.

I swear that and know this will absolutly change my thought process once I experince the death of someone actually close to me. It may happen sooner than I know it, I'm reminded of that every single day for better or for worse. Thank you if you've read this.

How do you feel about the "Yuzuki = The Sword" theory? I don't know what backing it may or may not have other than simple vibes and like, the basic symbolism in the EGO art, but I'm curious to hear what you think!

Hello Kili! Or I assume this is Kili. I follow the "Yuzuki = The Sword" theory but I'm begging and pleading that it doesn't come true. I have an alternative theory that the Hell Screen is a screen door corridor you can walk into with all the individual tortures are suspended in time. There is no real proof for that one execept seeing some Ring art in Leviathan. I don't know what's worst though, Yuzuki being dead for good and just the sword, or they pull out some mirror identity shit. I'd like to throw my own crack theory into The Ring. Rip it apart.

Yuzuki is coming back from the dead from another mirror world and Ryoshu has to confront revenge Yuzuki with burns on her body and the other subjects of her arts who were subjected to tortures. Or, Bitch Ass Lord Of Horiwaka is a Ring higher up and sicks a monolith group of Abnormalities at the Limbus Company gang while also just showing everyone Yuzuki. Yoshihide had dreams about the Hell Screen and Yuzuki calling out for him to join her in Hell and Project Moon seems to love bringing loved ones back but messed up. (Library Of Ruina, Leviathan, Lobotomy Corp with Carmen)

( Off-topic but I missed a lot on my very shallow dive on the Wild Hunt I did a long time ago and I made lots of mistakes there. I don't think ill come back to it but a concern to think about next time.) The Wild Hunt seems to happen often enough for Faust to have a name for it. There is no way the mirror stuff only gets used in Heathcliff's chapter and The Ring has this idententity technology. Also, that Ghost Parade Of 100 Demons refrence can potentially be foreshadowing. For me, there's no way Heathcliff's chapter will be the only time we get mirror shenaigans, esspecially when there's no way The Ring will not be in Ryoshu's chapter, or any of the other fingers given her art.

For me, it is vibes but I am one of the few who has read all of Leviathan with the unoffical fan translation. It was just a very long time ago. Because of what I know from Leviathan, I can totally see the Ring and by extention, Yuzuki becoming a sword and provide, at least something. Also this random reddit comment from this threat that I retained in my head when I barely step on reddit. X.

Yuzuki seemed to be Yoshihide's everything and the sword errupts into flames everytime that EGO is cast. (One time I need to go here and talk about the horrifying thought that R.B. Ryoshu might have cut up and eatten Yuzuki if we follow the sword theory..)

Under the cut are Leviathan spoilers. If you want my final thoughts, I do follow the "Yuzuki = Sword" theory until we get conformation otherwise, but I don't rule out any possibilities. I am open to other theories. "Yuzuki = Sword" will not be the whole story, it won't be the only thing happening there, mark my words. I follow off vibes and This link has nothing of substance, ignore the Spiderman stuff but I think it would be fun to share my old thoughts before the Ryoshu Mania fully took over my head. x Their not good and I don't totally agree with the stuff I said back then.

Thank you so much for the ask!

Welcome back and here we are. Most memoriable to me is all the orphans. (Book 15)

They turned the orphans into the picatulum in the effort to do the identity experiment stuff. Actually looking back, I need to re-read Leviathan again, it makes so much more sense now.

I don't think there's anything else actually for Sword = Yuzuki because im just skiming. I don't have the energy to read back right now. I'm really sorry. Sleepy.

Sword Yuzuki is not out of the question if their doing things like this.

Chapter 10 (Is this meat?)

While Im still here, might as well save screenshots for my own refrence. (Chaper 9)

(Chapter 11)

Chapter 3

“Sometimes I RP her working at 7/11” ok you can’t just say that I need to know more.

Im not doing it right now because I have to focus on my studies and I want to do other things. It's nothing too special, there's this roblox roleplay game called Zaibatsu and I just rped her in either the coffee shop or the 7/11, working there. My crack idea was after dieing to Erlking Heathcliff, she gets isekaied and needs to find a job because she's effectively homeless so she has forged documents so she can apply to places to get her foot in the door.

If you also see Chief Butler Ryoshu working at The Dinner or somewhere in Skies Over Milwaukee, or Helix Ascent, that's probably me. I've tried to rp Cheif Butler Outis too but it doesn't have the same omph or vibe. Sometimes when I rp Outis, I fear I'm putting Ryoshu's traits into her. Also, i just have less fun playing Cheif Butler Outis. I'm better doing Base Identity Outis.

The rest of this is yapping about roleplay. Thanks for the ask!

In roblox, you get weird people trying to get with her due to the fact she's a maid. I don't like those people, esspically the ones who take threats of violence against them as 'hot'. I try my best to be as blunt to them as possible. I'm a freak but I keep that to my tumblr, keep that in mind. Another downside of rping her or any Project Moon character on roblox is having to sanatize them because of the filter. I can't say I'm getting any real practice with her honestly. I do love trying to play her though. I'm not great doing her, esspically her SANGRIAS on the fly but its neat. I also have a crack spiderman ryoshu au I've wanted to rp and test out but I can't find anyone (or im shy. or lazy. maybe all three.)

Rps on roblox aren't good but I revel in how insane some people can be. I also feel visually stimulated seeing the builds and everyone walking around with their avatars and props, it gives me a sense of joy seeing the creations. Plus, anyone can easily jump in and jump out, and its expected most rps are short term unless you got friends to organize an rp with. I dunno, my nature likes it.

I can't rp on roblox too much because rp in general is like crack for me once I start going. I love rping still, im just terrified of ghosting people because that's my bad habit. I already have multiple rps I have not responded to in months on discord and two I have yet to organize with people I said "I want to roleplay with you." I don't mean it to be rude and I do my best to tell my partners straight up the risk that I will ghost you. But I still love doing it, I love writing though it takes a lot of effort. For good reason, because all creative persuits should hold a meaning to the artist and its a form of expression. Experssion also takes effort that I don't have 100% of all the time. Dang ADHD and Autism also effecting my head.

I would love to yap more about it I suppose but I've gone so long conditioning myself not to talk about rp. Plus, I get scared re-reading my rps. Also, I find myself getting too emotional with things that happen in rp and as good as that emotional vunrability is, I'm terrified of it. It's very easy to get lost in, its one of the reasons I haven't been responding to my rps. But it's supposed to be safe place to express everything, I just don't know.

Obligatory, I make no promises (I mostly make no promises at all because I struggle to keep them) of keeping my rps with anyone, they may not even start or even if they start, i might ghost you or dissapoint, but I'd love talking about and attempting at least. I got ocs, i've rped Outis, Meursault, and Ryoshu. I really love crossovers. I have a bad case of "I see something new and shiny and I feel impulsive so I persue that and then posibly lose intrest in what I was doing before but the old thing will constantly haunt me so then I get anxiety and never come back." and I think that's how I explain that.

for the ask meme with numbers: 3, 14, 25, and 45 !

Thank you for the ask!

3. Do they wear the other's clothes?

I don't think she'd wear my clothes. I would wear Ryoshu's clothes for her scent sometimes and steal her work jacket from time to time and she just has to go and get me.

14. How do their personalities compliment and how do they clash?

I don't want to answer the first half in public. How we clash is the obvious, I am not a fanatic for violece to her level. Also I don't like hurting people, big suprise. I have problems doing it even if I'm given explict permisson to hurt the other. I think I'm more outgoing. Also I'm not the brightest or sharpest. I also tend to wear my heart on my sleeave. There is more but I feel uncomfortable vocalizing the rest of that out.

25. Do they have any hobbies they share?

We both like art. I don't make good art but I like enjoying it. I don't think we have much else but doesn't mean I can't try. I'd love to actually learn self defence again, its been on the bucket list once I learn how to drive and get a job. Id love to spar Ryoshu to the best of my abilities. Sadly, I can not think of anything else. This areas kind of weak because I'm pretty lazy.

Id also like to go places with Ryoshu wherever she's trying to get art refreneces. That would be fun.

45. Can they fall asleep without the other?

Absolutly. We'd both need our personal space when it comes to sleeping at night. It doesn't mean all nights are the same, sometimes the feelings get too intense and maybe we'd sleep together. I don't really want to share a bed with anyone every night, even Ryoshu. But I would like the option to choose. I would also love to give her the bed while I sleep on the couch.
