4:35 AM

Sei Shōnagon, on herself:

I’m sure everyone thinks odd things of me. They believe i’m like Hong Lu, naïve and sheltered… hehe, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

While, yes, I did come from a privileged background, I almost lived akin to normal cityfolk for quite a bit. I did enjoy the festivals, I was considered only somewhat below Her Majesty, but… i’ve got tricks up my sleeves.

They think I’m soft. I have seen the way Heathcliff glares, and I glare right back. I’m clumsy, too babyish, but… do they *truly* think I’m like that? I’m just optimistic, and I’m playing chess to combat their checkers.

…hm? oh, sorry. I didn’t mean that in a bad way, fufu. 

I find it intriguing that everyone comes from a different background. From Victor being an intelligent scientist from an esteemed university, to Yi Sang being a wing researcher, even down to Ishmael and her journey in the outskirts. There’s so much to learn, and yet… 

I think my background feels the most unimpressive. 



Oh, my book?
You’ve… read it, haven’t you?

I regret not a single word I wrote. Maybe if the others read it too, they’d understand that I’m not truly the damsel-in-distress I play the role of.

4:36 AM

Sei Shōnagon: an excerpt from her book

*mild editing for localization.

Infuriating things.

A guest who arrives when you have something urgent to do, and stays talking for ages. If it’s someone you don’t have much respect for, you can simply send them away and tell them to come back later, but if it’s a person with whom you feel you must stand on ceremony, it’s an infuriating situation.
[...]
A hair has got on to your inkstone and you find yourself grinding it in with the inkstick. Also, the grating sound when a bit of stone gets ground in with the ink.
[...]
A very ordinary person, who beams inanely as she prattles on and on.
[...]
A baby who cries when you’re trying to hear something. A flock of crows clamoring raucously, all flying around chaotically with noisily flapping wings. A dog that discovers a clandestine lover as he comes creeping in, and barks.
[...]
I hate it when, either at home or at the palace, someone comes calling whom you’d rather not see and you pretend to be asleep, but then a well-meaning member of the household comes along and shakes you awake with a look of disapproval at how you’ve dozed off.
Some newcomer steps in and starts interfering and lecturing the old hands as if she knows it all. This is quite infuriating.
[...]

4:36 AM

Sei Shōnagon, on food:

I’ve eaten so many wonderful things in my life. From char-grilled fish with fresh sea salt to the most delectable steak, cooked to perfection… ahh, food’s like a love language.

Now, i’m not someone who’s easy to please with my food. I’ve complained little about our rations because I feel my complaints are more-than spoken for by Ms. Rodion.

I’m not much of a cook myself. I knew just enough to make an okay meal in a pinch, but the cooks we had in the estate were much more skilled.

Please, don’t ask me to make you food. It would be embarrassing.

4:37 AM

Sei Shōnagon, on her room:

The status of everyone’s room fills me with curiosity. The thrashing seas and wuthering waves, why… is my room, then, the calmest? 

I peeked into Hong Lu’s room once when ending a conversation with him. Piles upon piles of money, a gaze at his childhood home in the distance… why, it’s not bad, but likely not too comfortable.

That must be why he’s been so enthusiastic about mine.

It’s my chamber overlooking the eastern courtyard. At least, that’s what it resembles. I know that room, and where I rest now is not the same as that once-elaborate chamber.

Thorns and thick, slimy vines overgrow it. Ink splatters, almost like blood and tears, across the walls and floor. Soft music plays at night, but it is not pleasant. It’s discordant, frustrated, as if holding a grudge. The scent is a mix of ink and cherry, intoxicating one when they enter the room.

However, sometimes these details change. On good days, the ink is fading and the thorns are not so large and intimidating. On my lower days, the courtyard is struck with a blizzard, and all the plants wither. I’m cold, left to myself and only a makeshift hearth to keep me warm. However… those days are not too often, so I do not mind them.

4:38 AM

Sei Shōnagon, on [DATA EXPUNGED]:

this was about an oc from another server i no longer speak in. Now, the character is ambiguous. Headcanon away I haven’t known him for too long, but I think our bond is pretty close. At night, if he’s kicked out of somewhere, he occasionally comes knocking my way and asks if he can stay. I tend to read my plethora of stories to him those nights before retiring to my bed, offering him a futon and water to rest up. Now, he’s made an effort to not upset me or make sure I don’t get too seriously hurt. I don’t mind either way, the pain is… well, let’s say, it reminds me that i’m human. But, much like someone new and occasionally out of line, discipline must be given when we are in each others’ care. Kyōka and Suigetsu are the common method, as using the full blade would be much too brash. Just a simple whipping, avoiding any exposed flesh or material deemed too soft. …hmm? are you suggesting it’s abuse? W-well, if he really kindly asked me to stop, I promise I would. But I don’t think I’ve heard that quite yet. I’m sorry.

Yi sang and sei have a sibling-like fondness towards one another

She can feel genuine care she’s just really scared to because she doesn’t want to be hurt

I love sei and him sibling bonding, Yi sang and him somehow having too many siblings (the twins)

LMAO

12:52 AM

Yi sang is just the ultimate brother

yi sang, sei, donqi, sinclair...

rizunyan

She can feel genuine care she’s just really scared to because she doesn’t want to be hurt

KSNDNDND AW

rizunyan

Yi sang is just the ultimate brother

in contrast to, ish and heath who always fighting....

see soseki is another case of the Few People Sei Actually Cares About

the prrr

Two kinds of siblings

Yi sang is the brother who just let others take his food and he doesn't get angry too omhg

Honestly yi sang and sei just kinda self regulate each other. She is somewhat erratic and explosive, and he tends to implode and get depressed

12:54 AM

but theyre both similar In which their creations being abused / out of their control result in their despair, and at times they both want to escape that reality

thats nice

12:55 AM

support network

group therapy time /silly

thats what nyx is for

So she’s like “ok we can’t drink more spoiled milk, that might be the one that ACTUALLY kills us” and he’s like “there’s no need for you to be so angry at something that holds no power against you”

it holds power, known as tummies hurties

rizunyan

So she’s like “ok we can’t drink more spoiled milk, that might be the one that ACTUALLY kills us” and he’s like “there’s no need for you to be so angry at something that holds no power against you”

honestly I think sei and nyx would get along in trying to prevent him eating trash

nyx and yi sang in the “keep sei from punching someone for the third time this week” gang

I don't know exactly how sei see nyx as, but they def would bond from stoping his shenanigans

days since sei last used another sinner as a weapon: 0

LMAO

rizunyan

nyx and yi sang in the “keep sei from punching someone for the third time this week” gang

knock off heath before he make sei mald again

yoa

I don't know exactly how sei see nyx as, but they def would bond from stoping his shenanigans

I imagine it’s a fairly positive view if yi sang likes her. Def not in the “i care you” list but prob on the “I will treat you with grace and kindness” list

ah so "you treat me well, I treat you with respect back" type

Which is a fairly high honor

12:59 AM

Mhm

Mutual respect We love that in this house (edited)

Yeah! Like if anything, she’s rather kind towards nyx unlike most others where she is, at best, polite

1:02 AM

like “oh, otōto likes you, you must be nice, then”

ototo is younger brother iirc?

Yep

nyx and always the youngest sis LMAOOO

Younger siblings unite

younger siblings unite until Don comes out being 30s

LOL

rizunyan

LOL

forget to ask, what is her opinion on sang yi, like yeah same person but also he's kinda his own character too

yoa

forget to ask, what is her opinion on sang yi, like yeah same person but also he's kinda his own character too

She’s probably wary about sang yi. While providing comfort, some of his deal was ….mmmm…. And sei is one to be like “become your best self, don’t just watch it.” If they ever had a conversation she’d def be really standoffish towards him

whats her canto.....................

SOBS

oh no

10:56 PM

at this rate im just happy that lilith is happy

this is the one i have least developed — bc it kinda relies on like 1. If someone within close proximity to me has the audacity to make a Murasaki Shikibu sinner 2. How much I really wanna torture her… But under the assumption 1 wont happen bc most the weebs i know are not THAT cultured (re: just googles cool japanese books), Murasaki is the (living) Chosen Person From Past (i.e. sonya, g corp vets, dong&dong, kromer, etc.) but I wanted to play with a lot of themes of japanese mythology and the beautiful scenery of it, so there may be the appearances of Empress Teishi / Sadako, but merely a fabricated recreation of how Sei saw her (so not fully accurate) But it’s basically going back to what used to be the palace/estate she served, and re-enacting the events leading up to the pillow book being discovered and Obv i had to reorder/rewrite some of it for Narrative’s Sake but basically it’s a whole thing of the writing ‘contest,’ Murasaki winning with the Tale of Genji, Empress Teishi’s death in childbirth, the trauma of raising that child as her own before the book is found, published, and the controversial details of some parts resulting in her exile and her running to different district(s) to try and cover her ass while escaping the Shi. So she faces Murasaki, who’s like “you’re still this vein after all,” and even the image of Teishi being surprised that Sei had the gall to run away, and that she expected better of her. But basically sei has to Get Fucking Humbled, and Murasaki kinda grills her more before she realizes she’s wasting her own time and just. Leaves, but she got her own intel and goods. Ofc titles / details are subject to change as i’m waiting for hong’s chapter (and ryoshu’s) to see how far I can go in honorifics and culture // i’m also not sure if Murasaki’s gonna be like Sonya and work with Hermann and the Homophobes, for her own reasons

11:04 PM

Also by “least developed” i mean “all the ideas are scrambled in a loose Soup”

(I was actually considering making a murasaki shikibu sinner/oc but I decided to hold off until I'm at least more familiar with her work) (edited)

LMAO

11:05 PM

See, when I met you, I felt it suddenly became an inevitability

I'm honored

Literally had a thought of “ah. She’s the one.”

you have increased my motivation to make soseiki content a hundred thousandfold

11:08 PM

bc like. I'm writing from this position of soseki being love-starved enough that I feel that it may be interesting and worthwhile as an author to write soseki as having a crush on sei that she knows won't be reciprocated - this is an idea that I won't proceed with unless you give your approval, though, since I know it can be a bit icky

11:08 PM

to have your oc shipped without permission

OOOH

11:09 PM

i like this idea

rizunyan

Literally had a thought of “ah. She’s the one.”

Also by this i mean i lit texted toast with a “i found the culmination of our brainrot” referring to you /pos

that makes me very happy

rizunyan

i like this idea

pretty much I had the thought that "Soseki will say her love with everything but words: A cup of tea or coffee, preparing a blanket or jacket on a cold day, etc"

mhm! And on both ends, how it manifests is very reminiscent of how they view each other (and essentially everyone else)

11:13 PM

Like, Sei probably understands or catches an inkling of those feelings, but she definitely feels soseki is below her by virtue of their class differences alone — so the treatment’s not fully taken as a “oh this person cares about me” as intended, but a “i am being treated like the high class woman i am” in a sense.

augouuughhh

11:14 PM

is it the kind of thing where she'd get put off by being treated as a high class woman or its like "this is the expected behavior I should be having"

11:15 PM

or is it specifically that she dislikes being called ojou sama

She doesn’t like being patronized

11:16 PM

But she def expects that kind of treatment

I see I see

Cus calling her ojou sama is almost in the same vein, if not a little worse than referring to her in princess-y terms — which, one of her particulars is literally “Princess,” so … LMAO

I can see soseki calling her Lady Shonagon more often than she would Sei

11:18 PM

like it Just Feels Right

Definitely

11:18 PM

It prob comes off as very stiff and awkward to others

it all started with the picture you drew of soseki bowing to sei

Teehee :)

11:20 PM

yeah no on that bus the only person closest to sei in terms of Class is Hong Lu, and he’s like MERELY a step above her just bc (in equivalency) he was born into the family she likely serves

11:20 PM

She’d be one of his servants, but still very much ALSO a noble

yeah its funny for sure bc soseki is from the meiji era and shonagon's origin is during the heian period

11:22 PM

I think soseki would have a bit of a culture shock vibe before settling in as "I'm a bestie (servant (pet))" (edited)

11:23 PM

"It's just like my old boss, but 100x nicer!"

12:04 AM

I gave u the treasure trove

On my way from Her Majesty's chamber I peeped into Ben Saisho's room. She was sleeping. She wore garments of hagi and shion over which she had put a strongly perfumed lustrous robe. Her face was [Page 75] hidden behind the cloth; her head rested on a writing-case of gold lacquer. Her forehead was beautiful and fascinating. She seemed like a princess in a picture. I took off the cloth which hid her mouth and said, "You are just like the heroine of a romance!" She blushed, half rising; she was beauty itself. She is always beautiful, but on this occasion her charm was wonderfully heightened.

not to clog this channel with shikibuposting but

12:08 AM

NO FRRR

Sei: when her majesty tried to show me her favorite prints i got so flustered i had to hide my face and hands and i could not look her in the eyes, she is so graceful

Sei is the definition of Victoria men seeing a woman's ankle and blush

Both sei and murasaki are such awkward lesbians

I peeped under the Queen's canopy. She who is esteemed by the people as the mother of the nation did not seem to be in good spirits. She appeared a little weary. She had grown thinner, and her appearance in bed was slenderer, younger, and gracefuller. A little lantern was hung under the canopy which chased the darkness away even from the corners. Her fair complexion was pale and transparently pure. I thought her abundant hair would be better tied up. There is great impropriety in writing about her at all, so I will stop here.

Rather.... yuriful...

They both rly had a thing for their respective empresses

reading this diary, it really does sort of feel like shikibu's distantly sort of observing the court with a sense of disguised contempt - at their sort of mawkish sycophantry, like chickens bowing to peck at seed

Mhm!

1:55 AM

I found her perspective interesting

1:56 AM

She was very composed and reserved, unlike sei who was almost writing a gossip column and speaking of the wonderful things in the court

Yeah, her reserved, almost morose nature comes forth here (edited)

1:58 AM

additionally, that she hid her knowledge of chinese does inform something about her sense of caution

1:58 AM

plus the waterfowl poem

2:03 AM

hmm

2:04 AM

I like that when she goes home to her parents' place she starts to expose her inner thoughts more

2:04 AM

does give the vibe of writing when you know you're being surveilled

Mhm

there's such a distinct sense of concealed discomfort throughout, wrow...

2:08 AM

I like that sometimes she goes "there are so many people in so many colors. I can't tell them apart"

though a more contemporary work, I do feel inclined to draw comparison to natsu hyuuga's The Apothecary Diaries, since the two of them share a sense of venom towards courtly life

2:16 AM

though the comparisons are likely superficial, they are extant in my mind

that's her diary done

so i think i have enough material on shikibu to start limbusifying her, but my initial thoughts are that she seems like a person, miserable but unable to conceive of how to proceed towards a better future, wanting companionship yet being afraid of it. She's an incisive and perceptive critic, though, so as of yet I'm not 100% sure what direction to take her given the desired rivalry with Sei (without playing with whether Sei is reading too much antagonism into the criticisms of Shikibu or not)

Mhm

3:38 AM

I mean, she even admits Sei is a skilled writer (when prior she dismissed her esp for her conceited personality) so despite her criticisms, it’s like she wants to express her thoughts but hesitates often on what she even thinks in the first place

it's like she's troubled with reconciling conflicting thoughts like those

3:39 AM

it seems that shikibu really didn't want to rock the boat

3:40 AM

perhaps the phrase "moderation in everything, even moderation itself" comes to mind...?

3:40 AM

I haven't touched tale of genji yet, but I'm not as concerned about it since we're dealing with the author rather than the character of genji

3:43 AM

so now i gotta pick what i wanna focus on, exaggerate, or pare down...

Number 1 Odelle Fan

I haven't touched tale of genji yet, but I'm not as concerned about it since we're dealing with the author rather than the character of genji

Look into the circumstances around it though and what she drew inspiration from

yeah the translation I'm starting with has a nice thing of context

3:45 AM

like "here's what's different, here's what happened during that time, etc"

Holden loves his bros

this is about Layla

Sei glaring or frowning at layla while Soseki and the rest of the bus (minus heracles, who is terrified of injuring the tiny baby) are fawning over her

NSNDNSN

2:50 AM

its ok man the baby has Jerry Juice she’ll be fine

heracles thinks that if she tries to hold the baby's head it will somehow explode in her hands. it's happened before

ok ngl I did not expect the slight feminine yi sang voice

We have 2 yi sangs, one is fem and the other is masc

12:21 PM

For everyone’s tastes

12:21 PM

Like the 3 dantes

THE ACCENT

THE COCKNEY ACCENT IS ICONIC

The other clip has southern gregor

My fav part of this va’s interpretation of him (and why i casted her for that role)

SOUTHERN GREG....

YEAH

12:23 PM

AND i told her to make him sound younger, and she did it SO WELL

I can only do it for fun with frens, but not actual va dubbing (edited)

same i only voice act during dnd sessions

same i only voice act during dnd sessions

still to this day, my goal in game life is limbus dnd

one of my friends was organizing that

12:28 PM

I think they have done a few sessions

ourghhh thats cool...

are both of sei's swords the same?

Yeah :)

10:46 PM

They’re two halves of one whole

my mind's mechapilled and thought they could combine

LMAO

10:47 PM

They do

10:47 PM

So its just one sword, but it can split into two

you never disappoint, bestie

And those can further unravel into the whips

10:48 PM

But she can’t have one whip. She has to have the two

oh, so combined mode is no whip mode

It’s like 1 kodachi —> 2 thinner kodachis —> 2 whips

It just hit me

2:14 AM

That seishu

is almost exactly the like Goddess / Princess and Regular Dude / Criminal dynamic

2:14 AM

Or in other terms

2:14 AM

Pet Cat and Stray Cat

2:15 AM

Redrawing this with them /j

DEWIT

JNCJJVVHB

Im sorry guys im gay

3:42 AM

but like, seishu’s dynamic is rly funny to me. Sei was initially drawn to ryoshu bc she reminded her a lot of her majesty, but she realized ryoshu’s a menace and kinda gross and she’s just. Horribly infatuated with that

3:43 AM

They get into a weekly squabble cus ryoshu refuses to wash off the blood on her and sei’s like “ew ew ew do NOT touch me with blood on you, at least make sure it’s my blood if you do wtf”

3:44 AM

You hear a scream from the back of the bus and it’s ryoshu half-toppled on sei, trying to dramatically kiss her cheek with half her face and clothes drenched in blood, and Sei is pushing her away actively and pale asf

Has sei fainted from blood before

Nah

4:44 AM

It’s not like she faints from it or is ACTUALLY grossed out

4:44 AM

It’s more about her keeping her cleanliness than anything

4:45 AM

She has a fascination for gore in an artistic way (hence why her and shu get along)

So, idea (hoping writing about this gets me to feel eepy, since no one’s talking to me physically)

2:13 AM

I’ll preface it with this: I know this is 100% a cliché and cop-out idea and everybody and their mama has either (1) written this for a / their character already (2) considered writing this for their character before

1

2:14 AM

But like, for Sei’s canto, given Shikibu is a sinner (as far as i’m concerned) but a lot of her conflicts are deeply internal and self-inflicted, She distorts.

2:15 AM

I wanna think of it as like, her own failure to fully let go of her façade and the arrogance she had with it, where she just unravels further (even though said façade is exposed)

2:18 AM

She’s unable to handle the consequences of her actions or the consequences of if her manipulation catches up to her. She can’t cope with the fact that she is NOT above everyone and everything, as much as she wants to believe she is

2:19 AM

It gets resolved of course, but she’s just… different after that. Too much was exposed, she can’t keep being the same prissy princess she used to be.

2:21 AM

And maybe she starts accepting the cards she’s dealt, and that she really isn’t above everything and doesn’t need to / shouldn’t try and cheat the system designed to fuck her over by mowing over other people to run from her issues

2:24 AM

She might be rather quiet, or only quip back if poked at first, and just writing often afterwards

2:25 AM

Esp if that fight is U G L Y, where her wrath and fear of her consequences is in full blossom

2:26 AM

Anyways miraculously I’m a little eepers

oughhh....

2:34 AM

i love distortions so much

rizunyan

Anyways miraculously I’m a little eepers

After seeing the third character w/ a faded-pink color scheme and almost the same haircut / vibe as sei, part of me wonders if i need to reconsider parts of her.

O? Who else? Like I get it may be a common trope but please don’t reconsider her design she’s perfect

mashka, someone in the idol au server, and another i saw on twitter

3:15 AM

Like bro it’s happened 3 (4) times

rizunyan

After seeing the third character w/ a faded-pink color scheme and almost the same haircut / vibe as sei, part of me wonders if i need to reconsider parts of her.

its a really pretty design though

3:20 AM

like, yeah many coincidences happen but i think its better to just keep it as it is /lh

the current design is iconic

Okay TBF Jirai girls do kinda look like that at a default but your OC is very unique and I like your take on that kinda design, I don’t think it’s a bad thing honestly

This is the other i mentioned

3:22 AM

idk man, like after it’s happened 3 times i’m like damn…. Maybe it’s just a common design trope

Like you took those tropes and made them really shine

:////

3:24 AM

i think what bothers me even more is that kg sei wears yumekawa / jirai kei wear so NOW I HAVE TO CHANGE THAT

You don’t have to change it, Ots a pretty popular style so it’s true multiple people wear it

3:25 AM

KG?

rizunyan

idk man, like after it’s happened 3 times i’m like damn…. Maybe it’s just a common design trope

dw on the trope, like a lot of monochrome characters are pretty similiar as well

(He was my partner’s pfp b4 limbus came out)

3:29 AM

But that is a fair point!!

Okay this is so off topic but this floor pizza doing something to me I want to give ayin a bowl cut to torture him

3:29 AM

I think it’d be amazing

also can we talk about how in 3 games, all the pathetic man are black hair ayin, roland, and yi sang

That is a rly good point btw !! Ig in a sense it’s a little frustrating mostly bc i felt like I put so much thought and effort into the design only to see it done so similarly over and over again

3:33 AM

# ON THE FLOOR???

I definitely wouldn’t have consumed it if it wasn’t directly on the floor

rizunyan

That is a rly good point btw !! Ig in a sense it’s a little frustrating mostly bc i felt like I put so much thought and effort into the design only to see it done so similarly over and over again

yoa

also tbf, the only similiarities between kdj and yi sang is black hair, wear/wore a white coat, and read

Kinda just think to yourself “Mine is better”

rizna, if u want to make her special, u can do it in id/ego also

Oh absolutely, I see a someone else make a character with tropes I like and quit on the sit

thats why holden has his dumb fuckin hat /silly

Spot*

Besides the fact it’s true to source

also its iconic

Number 1 Odelle Fan

Yeah igy

yk I never saw this acronym before but i got it immediately so i thiink thsi means ive written too much ryoshu dialogue recently

Truly, Y. U. M.

limbus first make us read literature now we become like sinclair /silly

HFDJNSDF

Clown to clown communication but it's Ruby 2 rizna

I mean the main reason sei LOOKS like the way she does is bc she’s trying to keep a specific look, but mannn

The design serves its purpose

sometimes simplicity is better

i shoulda made her hair pink. /JOKE

if you really want to change it to make it stand out, i suggest adding a third color to the palette or add a small trinket somewhere... /gen

~~that’s a ref to how she’s inspired by rikuhachima aru~~

limbus made me appreciate simple but iconic designs ngl

limbus made me appreciate simple but iconic designs ngl

rizna also, if u want to make them special, do the clothes

She has a hair accessory, earrings and a unique weapon and uniform

waterblob

if you really want to change it to make it stand out, i suggest adding a third color to the palette or add a small trinket somewhere... /gen

TECHNICALLY her third color is blue, bc of her little flower pin. I actually just forgot that in the sprite bc i had spent so much time on it

though tbh sei's design is already perfect /gen

She’s so cotton candy-core

Sei has a lot honestly, dw on it

3:44 AM

we like her design

SOBS

rizunyan

This is the other i mentioned

also if you really wanna compare, this character only has the color palette but none of the accessories

Washing sei and watching her melt like the one racoon

5:24 AM

former concept artist quirks

HFDJSNKDFD

your skill is practiced and it shows

5:27 AM

by the way, how's sei different in the KG? I can see that she's menhera, but I'm curious why/how

I tend to turn up and down certain traits of characters depending on the AU (see: wet towel LCHS ish), so KG sei has a tune-up of specifically

her obsession / infatuation factors
her clinginess to her façade However in this case its less “i am perfection and want you all to recognize that” and more “haha how could i harm others when its sooo obvious i wanna harm myself and be the PERFECT target?!”

5:35 AM

but the reversal of that fakeness is her being a spiteful double murderer who disregards others just as much as she disregards her own self (except idolizing ryoshu, who she saw as closest to her majesty - who’s now dead, likely as a result of a prior KG)

oh yeah I love that

Like, killing rodya because she was an easy target and then killing Holden (after making him think she was interested) because he caught on, but also she literally could not stand him

5:36 AM

the hair clips are both a play on “kys” and “kuki yomenai,” as it’s like you can’t read the room to her

35 in the city is fairly average aged cus 30 is not the age of a fossil, you dont even get that close til like 50 ish

oh also people die easily

yeah exactly

outis being alive is pretty much elder in our life KEKW

i mean true but most characters in ruina are 30-40

outis and gregor in Limbus is the equivalent of 70-80 years old elders in IRL kewk

sometimes argalia being 39 sends me into cardiac arrest /J

Notable exceptions being finn and eileen (22), tenma (26), iori (53) etc

ARGALIA IS 39????

Gregor and Sei are the same age

its like old people in goddamn dark souls

Iori is a color fixer, so it make sense why she live this long

I thought greg was younger than sei...

No

also, I have white hair before so it's not like me hitting middle age would do much kewk

Sei’s like the city equivalent in age of a Normal Person it should be kinda weird she seems so young cus it means shes prob sucking the souls out of young men to keep her beauty and make you think she’s still 22

purple and pink are an unlikely pair. Oppositional, typically, but differences aside, they tend to bring out unique strengths and qualities in one another. This purple is really glad that his (least) favorite pink lived past that ordeal.

Awwwwwwwwwww

Number 1 Odelle Fan

I would love to hear more abt heathcliff/sei as a combo

yee! so across all the aus i have, their dynamic is vastly different, but generally falls under “worsties.” They’re the least friendly in LCKG (where sei attempts to blame the murders she committed on him), but most friendly in LCM (where he frequently visits her place to fix her and shū’s bad cooking). With LCB, it kinda… flip flops? They very much are different from eachother, and they do argue often, but she appreciates him as someone who is observant and brutally honest — even if he’s a violent oaf — and he enjoys that there’s someone who actually makes sense and has some credibility behind their words (and doesn’t nag him for being a ruffian for once). But it’s not like they’re super close, like i imagine this hug is right after he just watched her distort and he had to fight masks of himself and the others.

3:21 AM

neither will admit it, but they do appreciate eachother. They make a little rainbow, she’s the sunshine to his thunderstorm

Awww that's nice

she might even be willing to teach him how to read better /j

3:24 AM

If she ever needs a big beefy idiot to help her with something, she’ll call for him and he might complain but he’ll do it anyways

loving this dynamic

I agree

They are eachother’s wingmen

Yeah, i hate when people are like “omg i wish we had more sinners”

3:34 AM

cus if we had more, we’d lose out on so much

3:34 AM

NOW IM TRYNA HEAR ABOUT THOSE FUCKED UP CHESS GAMES SINCLAIR AND DON ARE HAVING

3:34 AM

HOW BAD IS SHE

EXACTLY

The cast's already big enough that they had trouble spotlighting all of them in canto iv I think adding more would be kinda disastrous

3:35 AM

and they had to delay it so much

Yeah

cause iirc, someone in KR said canto 4 was supposed to release in the camellia season in Korean (around April)....

I honestly think they need to split into smaller groups at this point

Mhm

Having them all in one place worked in the first few cantos where we didn't know them well, to their credit

limbus is really different from other gachas and the story thrives because of it

them being angry when K corp and technology side are also fucking around with their coworker

unlike others where you have to keep track of all the new characters

IT'S SO FUNNY I WAS LIKE WTF AT DON IN CANTO 3

Or the rectangle earrings and bunny ear hairtie here

Ur attention to design elements like that has my admiration

I feel like its important to a character

3:47 AM

They need something that sets them apart, and when you put them in different contexts it feels natural it should change

So, idea (hoping writing about this gets me to feel eepy, since no one’s talking to me physically)

@Toast

Sei, I have a question. Why are you so cute?

Me, so cute? Oh, i’m so flattered you think so. Maybe i’m just born like this! … Oh, you want the real answer? Well, it’s because I want to be. Or rather, I need to be. I could play any role I need— I can be super sick*, cool and mysterious, an absolute lunatic. However, what we needed was someone absolutely adorable. And that’s me~ ☆ … … Why are you giving me that look? … Okay, fine. Lean in. Sometimes, I think maybe I should drop the act. Stop being all sweet and happy, but… all that’d be left is bitter emptiness. The city sucks, yeah? I’m on the run from assassins, my lawyer isn’t much of a help, but… it’s easier to pretend my happiness hasn’t faded and i have zero problems. … and, That’s why i’m so cute. ♡ Is that a good enough answer?

12:05 AM

*sick meaning “mentally ill,” in this case (edited)

She is the definition of "Tee-Hee!"

ouuu i love how you convey her dialogue!

thats so cool. I can almost sort of picture shikibu's reaction

Also, on this, i’m curious about your thoughts / insight :0

I Got Thots

4:00 AM

Shortly...

Gather them thots

Ruby's thoughts

I'm putting down the penlights and cheering and hollering, there'll be plenty of that in the future
Would absolutely love to know what lil tidbits you'd sprinkle around to build up to the canto proper
- I know that you've said that she's bitter and judgemental, and I'd love to see more of it
- Did Victor pull out the blackmail? Did the assassins just straight up fight her and give us 20 stages of beat-em-up? Who knows!!!
I love that she's finally getting her comeuppance :) Shikibu and Soseki have things to say (positive and negative)
- That she distorts because she continues to hold onto her sense of superiority, even as it's starting to slide off and crumble, instead of examining her worldview... ❤️... I get the impression that she doesn't ask others for help with stuff that actually troubles her emotionally.
- Feel free to make use of my version of shikibu if you like - I trust you in that regard.
- ALSO what if Rodya, being a person thematically similar to her, talked to her...
- In short, I know that Shikibu would be quietly lording over her until shit hits the fan - after all, even if she's holding a grudge, she does still respect Seishonagon.
Big Love for the fact that she changes so drastically afterwards.
- I gave a lot of thought to how Soseki might treat her afterwards, through Soseki ditching her completely (worst outcome I've considered), Graduating from petdom and dealing with a changed relationship (neutralest and subject to lots of variation), or firmly choosing to stay by her anyway and being willing to put up with that bitterness
Really, though, I just want more details.
At the end of it all - who among the sinners care for Sei? Who writes her off as just an annoying girl and don't care to look deeper? The entire dynamic's gonna change...

Bless ur soul ruby i will smooch u platonically

You have obtained: 1x Crimson Seal

4:28 AM

...of approval!

YAHOOOOOO

To answer… or at least, feed into more of it given i’ve had time to think of it

I think of it as like, yeah we get put through waves of assassins. By the time — chronologically — her canto happens, we have gone through at least 15 canto chapters. So Shi assassins? Not too horrible of a threat depending on the section.

However, by the time they’ve given up or been called off / bribed off by other means (likely Lilith’s contributions), it’s still unclear WHY they’re after Sei.
- This could be either (A) Victor breaking her silence and causing a scene by exposing everything and her blackmail. Sei wouldn’t have much ammo by then so it’s what corners her
- (B), Lilith appearing and explaining it, also revealing/confirming any prior foreshadowing AND that she was the one who laid the Shi off of them. The plainness and intimidation of lilith alone are what set Sei off, and the surprise / questions of the other sinners cornering her
- least likely, (C), Shikibu (disambiguation) making a scarily educated guess and making Sei break

I think if shikibu has any informational advantage behind unravelling the mystery it's purely up to how well they knew each other in the past

Disambiguation refers to NOT your sinner specifically

yup yup

i say least likely just bc it’d muddy things up

4:44 AM

And A or B feels logical

yeah, I knew but am still surprised at the power Lilith holds over Sei

It’s tough to be faced with the one thing she avoids, so all of the questioning is definitely what causes her distort. As she speaks to Carmen, she’s almost using that conversation as a way to avoid the questioning. To give into her escapism, her superiority complex. To let them have that bough is to admit to her wrongdoings, and she’s not ready for that.
- think of it like, as they’re asking what the book is, why she hasn’t said anything (later) why Victor knows, how bad it was, she’s just… ignoring the questions and pleading and bargaining with Carmen instead.
The resolve is what has remained mostly gray, but ofc she doesn’t outright die. The idea of Rodya talking to her seems plausible, especially while breaking down and weakened from fighting herself — but she gets the whole picture, and ultimately it’s that that recovers her
But truthfully, she’s not cared for by many. I’m sure her and Soseki will have a bit of damage to their bond for a bit, but the only notable people to actually extend their help and not write her off are, well…
- Heathcliff
- Rodya
- Yi Sang
- Ryōshū

Number 1 Odelle Fan

yeah, I knew but am still surprised at the power Lilith holds over Sei

I mirror it to Alfonso’s influence. It’s not really there and upfront, but its presence is immense and deep-rooted. You can’t interact with corporate without Alfonso’s influence, much like Sei cannot deal within her daily life without Lilith’s influence — because the only other option in both cases is death

Ah, like a parent threatening to withhold financial support.

Yep

4:52 AM

The little hug between heathcliff and sei i drew is like the literal representation of their dynamic changing, but if no one cares even a lick abt her, he definitely does

4:52 AM

Even if she gets on his nerves

that's real sweet...

Its a “oh fuck you’re not just annoying and prissy, you’re tormented with demons and you hate those above you too”

A sentiment Soseki definitely shares!

5:01 AM

I think the big coinflip when it comes to Soseki really would be how she's treated - like, I know I make a lot of jokes with how silly this cat gets, but I reckon she's wise enough to not just be a simp for attractive people

5:01 AM

Though I will continue to make jokes about soseki doing dumb shit at sei's behest

KSJDNF

5:04 AM

i mean, she probably doesn’t treat anyone differently, besides maybe occasionally being a bit distant or deadpan as she kinda comes to terms with the inner bitterness she feels

Like, as long as it's not like "it is revealed that she thought of soseki as simply a tool" then soseki would continue to stay by her side and wrap her tail around her

Nah

5:08 AM

Only tool was holden LMAO

5:08 AM

Soseki being a black cat prob is major affection points cus the actual shonagon LOVED black cats

I do wonder what the naysayers would think. Shikibu's mostly over it, but the rest of the bus...

5:12 AM

victor and holden especially

Holden would feel fucking horrible (sympathy) beneath it all but maybe in a sense like, a bit of catharsis

5:15 AM

Victor remains indifferent, she merely views it as due process but perhaps it means their debts to one another are nullified

5:16 AM

No one wants to watch a colleague distort but MAN did it kinda heal his wounds

5:17 AM

Part of him is glad after the fact that sei won’t use others like he was used before

that's good!

Maybe after more growth they’ll have a conversation and she’ll give him an overdue apology

5:19 AM

Biggest humbling of the century

The urge to put “let me cook” in this one sided conversation

2:13 AM

BC IT FEELS IN CHARACTER

I’m gonna put it anyways

2:16 AM

A conversation, but the answer could not be heard.

— Sei, girlie, this isn’t how you deal with things. — I know that for certain. Remember when you got locked in that dungeon, and you told Yi Sang you wanted that castle in the sky? … that’s right, I heard what you said and more. An awfully sweet wish, and here you are digging yourself a grave. — Psh. That’s no way to your sky castle. … — Mhm. I understand that very well. As much as you nagged me about my pettiness and simple mind, I get where you’re coming from. I got some truth to tell you. We’re awesome! However … — No, no, I have a point. Let it cook for a second. Both of us aren’t as important as we really think we are. And that’s fine, it just means we can get away with so much more. …heheh, like blowing through an entire night’s paycheck on one dinner date, eh? — Yeah, I see i’m getting through to you. Just hang in there, okay? I know you’re wanting to run and keep protecting yourself, but you don’t gotta. — … I’m gonna die any second now, but just know you don’t have to pretend you’re on a pedestal and keep running from everything. — Hm? You and I? We’re free to walk forward now, girlie. Let’s go. < Rodion collapsed and died shortly after her talk. > < I couldn’t understand any responses, but I imagine she got through to Sei, since the mirrors of the sinners began withering into petals. >

this got me

2:19 AM

this really really got me

rodya... sei.....

All the others at this point are already dead so its another case of “how the fuck did you do that” “oh you know with my sexy awesome powers (looks to the side with a downcast frown)”

This is one of the cases where i’ve actually drawn her using the whips

3:03 AM

and ofc she’s gonna whip the worstie

oh, they're square! I thought it was gonna be like a tesselating sakura petal shape

Nah! I thought of a box cutter….

yeah that makes more sense for a single-edged sword

but also it would’ve given the sword an odd tip at the end, yea

Also, Sei ego collection

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things is a cat.

This is the “fully colored” collection (edited)

The hong collection

yoa

is the first one the early design phase?

Tech it was the 2nd design i made for her, but yea it was the first draft i made more and more tweaks to

3:35 AM

The very first went too hard into the cuteness, i needed neutrality into it so i added major zonkers and mild sex appeal to hint at the bitterness / maturity

how cute was the first one

Very cute. Lemme find

3:37 AM

Ahoge and everything

I see what you mean

The shorts were from day 1 tho

yeah, def too cute for limbus world

Exactly

3:38 AM

and yeah she’s meant to be really cute but i didnt wanna cross into mary sue territory

3:40 AM

So i went with that kind of gross-cuteness associated with idols, as i felt like that was a more modern approach to her kind of beauty and status — blending tradition and pop culture

3:40 AM

Like “ohhh she’s so innocent but so sexy, what secrets could she be hiding behind that adorable face?!” And said secrets are insane degrees of hatred

AND ONCE AGAIN # I FUCKING LOSE BECAUSE OF BASIC INFO

if sei has an interest in cooking, I wonder if she'd kinda mill around the kitchen and watch the cooking-capable sinners do their stuff

Isn’t ryōshū technically one of them?

I forgot what she did in the hell chicken, exactly

9:32 PM

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RESPONSE

Just used my finger

there was a part of me which wanted to make sei hold a sausage for a crude joke but Writer brain ruby went "that wouldn't add anything"

LMAOO

8:55 PM

“Does it mean when she holds…” “No, and what the fuck Holden.”

the w e a n u s, unfortunately, does not auto-censor. Which is probably a good thing, because it's gonna get all distorted and funky and maybe even change texture (and not in a fun or interesting way - we're talking a loose pile of sawdust here)

how we found that out? Well, Hong Lu volunteered himself in the name of science.

to shreds, you say...

At least we learned??

you nailed the vibe I wanted for galatea in one go as well

She is eagerly learning

Scissors: an excerpt from a rant.

I’m never the type to have conventional ways to open things, but… well, let me give context before I describe the horror to you. The other night, myself and some of those who were particularly sociable were all in my room, sitting around the irori* and chatting when she broke in and began whispering while covering her chest. Lo and behold, she’s dropping a pile of bags of chips onto the floor by the fire, passing them to each person in the room. Myself, Hong Lu, Heracles, Heathcliff, Ryōshū, and Ishmael, all before she left one for herself. They were rather pungent. Vinegar was the scent, strong and acidic — not my taste, so I put the bag away for storing — or offering to my dear Soseki when she needed food. Then, I heard the sound of the plastic being cut. To my surprise, Hong Lu was using a pair of scissors to open his chip bag. What made it worse was the fact that no one else was reacting to this. “Excuse me, Hong Lu…. Did you use scissors to open the bag?” “Ah, is something wrong? I open snacks like this all of the time, Miss Shonagon~” I couldn’t believe his response. Don’t get me wrong; Hong Lu is one of my dearest companions, but… I never want to eat chips with him again. < *Manager’s note: upon further research, an Irori is a traditional kind of hearth from Lady Shonagon’s hometown. >

PFFFHAHAHAHA

9:21 PM

is sei the type to eat chips with chopsticks so they dont leave dust on the hands

Yes, but if she doesn’t have any nearby, she will simply shape the bag to funnel the chips into her mouth

9:22 PM

a less classy but not-as-messy method

if I don't have any I pick them up with my ring and pinky finger so that my Primary Working Fingers are Chip Dust Free

LOL

9:24 PM

Sei adores hong lu, he’s like a best friend to her, but he weirds her out sometimes

I think I'm also missing the implication of who She Who Broke In is

RODYA

OH OKAY

Sorry i was like, translating it from japanese and forgot the Implications are not usually present

haha no worries

also bc the prior ramble was about sei lamenting rodya’s touchy nature

9:25 PM

it’s like she kinda sits there near dante and gossips their metaphorical ears off

oh lmao

Sei being the oddly opinionated spoiled princess is the most fun thing to write

for real

what does sei think of yi sang's propensity to eat strange and weird things

Number 1 Odelle Fan

what does sei think of yi sang's propensity to eat strange and weird things

similar to hong lu’s weird ways of opening food or handling things, she side-eyes and gets weirded out but it doesnt change how she feels about him as a whole

How Sei IS each Sei?

I asked different Sinners to give me a recollection to the best of their abilities.

LCB Sinner Sei

(+) Hime Complex, Manipulation (-) Pessimism, Impulsivity

This one is fairly simple. She behaves much like a spoiled child, expecting the utmost cleanliness and respect from her coworkers. Her speech is laden with flowery words and sound-effects, meant to emphasize her impression of appearing “helpless” and “cute.” However, one might note that this indivudal is hiding more to her demeanor. While I personally do not have experience with Sei’s less personable side, one may note that she exhibits a rather opinionated attitude towards menial topics, and engage in a fair amount of gossip. Those who do not engage with it tend to become subjects of said gossip. Overall, this is the baseline for Sei, and a rather familiar one to those working with Limbus Company. Signed, Meursault.

Tingtang Gang Member Sei

(+) Energy, Manipulation (-) Hime Complex, Cuteness

Ah, this one is my favorite~ She behaves as my sort of right-hand when dealing with matters in the gang, and has the most convincing poker face. After all, isn’t that something our Sei does often, right? Put on that doe-eyed look, enough to win the hearts of all the elder family members~ Well, I wish I was as good at changing people’s minds as she is. Although Sei’s small and unassuming, the second she pulls out those kunai, ribbons and everything, she’s raring to make anyone regret their choice. Haha, I’ve even been on the receiving end of that wrath at times~ I think she’s fairly fun to gamble with, and more fun to watch cut up any misbehaving lackeys. Authored by yours truly, Hong Lu~

R.B. Chef de Tournant Sei

(+) Impulsivity, Cuteness (-) Manipulation, Pessimism

She’s a cheerful one with a delightful outlook on life, I’ll tell you that. Helping around the kitchen, despite the fact that every damn thing in her hands distorts the moment she touches it. It’s quite a sight, but she’s always so eager to help out. Ryōshū’s always giving her jobs, watching Sei bolt around the kitchen. Sometimes, she hums and slaughters as if it’s just daily work. Just waiting around and letting hours pass with no sign of mental wear or insanity in ‘er. I wonder if such gruesome activity’s part of her life before being in the Bistro. - Gregor

(edited)

2:12 AM

Nitro limits so mean

R Corp. 4th Pack Rabbit Sei

(+) Energy, Impulsivity (-) Hime Complex, Manipulation

All seis get on my nerves, but this one’s a real cheeky one. She’s got too much energy in ‘er, and is always pesterin’ me to get me to lash out. We get along sometimes, but on the battlefield she’s constantly makin’ me look like a stupid sod. Ah, but that’s enough complainin’. I like her work ethic, but I’m absolutely gobsmacked at how a little prissy princess like her becomes such a bothersome prat. She’s much more tolerable in that mirror world than normal, though. <This was from Heathcliff. I wrote his speech for him.>

< From this point onwards, I went into asking the more abstract mirror worlds. Those, I needed to learn more about. > (AUs!)

Student Yearbook Editor Sei

(+) Cuteness, Peppiness (-) Pessimism, Energy

I find her energy to be rather unique, almost extremely girlish in tone. She mans the yearbook like its a job, carrying a camera and notebook around while waiting for the next story to report on. After school, she does a lot of training in dance and music. Sometimes, the school hosted these events where her and the few other trainees held concerts, it was an odd sight to behold. Overall? Uh, I didn’t collide with her much. I can’t offer too much insight, but she seemed like a well-rounded, easygoing girl. Ishmael.

Ultimate Spoiled Brat Sei

(+) Neuroticism, Energy (-) Cuteness, Manipulation

This one is wild, man. I can’t believe she can even act like this. She always wore these crazy clothes, and had these pins in her hair that definitely tell you something offensive. She always made sure everyone knew she was sick in the head but super cute, and damn I fell victim to it. Just like now, eh? It’s crazy how such changes how to a girl can make her go batshit crazy. When she came in to kill me, all she did was laugh. Sei has that annoying-ass laugh, but when this one does it, it’s… scary. <He refused to speak further, simply pulling out a cigarette and looking away.> Written by your boy, Holden Caulfield

more questions, for whenever you get around to these:

does sei use petnames for ryoshu? how about nicknames for anyone else?
what does sei think of galatea a) pre-ramen spit incident b) post ramen spit incident

sei should totally call ryoshu as "shushi" kewk

better than ryo-ryo

does sei use petnames for ryoshu? how about nicknames for anyone else?
what does sei think of galatea a) pre-ramen spit incident b) post ramen spit incident

(A.) she calls her shushu :) but other nicknames include “oujisama” and “hongu” for hong lu, purposely annoying heathcliff with “heathy,” don is called donnie, and sinclair “eclair” (B.) Before: cute, a little mysterious but otherwise easy to get along with and rather personable After: mostly the same opinion, but she likely still remains a little butthurt over the incident and thus tends to see Galatea as … i guess a little dishonest, like a child who doesn’t wanna say she hates her parent’s cooking lol.

12:47 PM

Oh and for ryoshu she also occasionally refers to her by the old heian era honorific の君, like 良秀の君, or “my beloved Ryōshū”

waterblob

i like how you write the sinners' dialogue while also putting in the different personality aspects of sei in her identities

Teehee thank you!!!!

LCB Part-Timer Sei

(+) Cuteness, Pessimism (-) Hime Complex, Impulsivity

She's quite the heartthrob, to start off. Although this mirror world isn't that different from our own, I can say the main difference is the easiness of life causing new aspects of our personalities opening up. This version of 누나 is not as spoiled as the one we know. She's milder, even a little sweeter, much like a perfectly ripe strawberry. On the days she is not fulfilling her contract with Limbus Company, she is part of a band with other sinners as their lead composer and vocalist. She often would come to me to review her lyrics, or sing a sweet tune while playing the piano. She also worked for a local establishment with Hong Lu, playing the role of a maid. It was a role dutifully performed, as if it was second nature to pretend to be the most devoted servant. However, much like the 누나 I know, such kindness hides a deep sense of bitterness. That is the only assessment I can make of her. - 이상

LCTA/LCRL Star Performer Sei

(+) Hime Complex, Energy (-) Manipulation, Neuroticism

I'm so honored you asked me of all people to talk about this. Well, like, this one's kinda cool. They put us in this company that fronted as a music label, but we still collected golden boughs and got to fight people. Cool, yeah? I know. This Sei is still the spoiled princess we know her as, but she lets her thoughts be known. Her and I decided to work together more often, and she's always wearing a literal crown on her head and parading around with such loud vibes. She tends to rile people up by swearing a lot and acting like a diva, but when anyone's upset, she can easily calm them down by acting innocent and cute again. Makes me a little envious, honestly. Hehe. - Родя, the best ☆

Stable E.G.O.: Nekomaterial-A Sei

(+) Energy, Peppiness, Cuteness (-) Mental Stability

I find it rather unsettling to see someone succumb to the effects of an E.G.O., even moreso when it's one that is of ALEPH-level. In this case, all of us had at least one E.G.O. that resonated with us near-permanently. Hers? Well, it was that of [DATA EXPUNGED], and thus Sei was always waving around giant paws and two tails, ready to claw up anything in her path or explode it with the bomb she carried with her. I can't say I enjoyed it. Although my brain was consistently fogged with a dark smoke, her shrill voice and meowing started to get to my head real fast. At least she's somewhat more palatable than the chef or the yearbook editor. \ Log written by Victor Frankenstein, #14.

Oho....!!

I think it's hilarious that victor prefers nekomaterial Sei to Yearbook Editor

she'd rather deal with the eternal catgirl

Every time my kitty cuddles up with me at night i feel like sei who is receiving the cuddles and headbutts of an eager soseki before bed

4:46 AM

esp cus my gray cat does not do the affection stuff well. She kinda just walks on top of me, curves her body and twists her tail to wherever my hand lies, pushes her head into my curved palm, and presents her little bum to me before turning around again and digging her head into my chest when i scratch at the base of her tail

Awwwwww

She moreso just receives pets with awkward grace than actually engages in affection herself. If i don’t engage, she’ll kinda just sit on top of my thigh facing away until my hand is visible — then she like, swerves her little head under my palm to signal that she wants to be pet

1

4:47 AM

Very demanding, very tsun.

4:52 AM

I am like the princess receiving the reluctant affection of my feline companion

4:53 AM

Bc she only does it when it’s clear i’m done working. When i move my foldable laptop desk off my lap and close the laptop, or I say goodnight and end a VC to cuddle into my blankets

4:53 AM

She comes pit-patting away, as if to signal it is time for her routine patpats

Im at the stovr but remind me to tell u about my favorite one of the 19 cats that my family raised

HELL YEAH

OOUUUU

5:54 AM

Baby…

This is Leek! And Tom! And this is the best photo I have ever taken!

5:56 AM

Leek is the magnificently fluffy one up top

Such beautiful souls

Absolute gentleman of a cat, and very smart

5:56 AM

Always waiting for us very politely at the door when we came home from school

5:56 AM

And then he would follow my brother to his room and chill there

5:57 AM

He seldom meowed, knowing when to meow when our attention was truly needed

5:58 AM

He knew where he was allowed and where he wasn't, and our family did so love him for his smarts and fluff

5:58 AM

When we moved to Australia, we were told that dear Leek was inconsolable with grief

5:58 AM

Although we did try to tell him goodbye as much as we could

Awww :((((

When we came back a few years after he meowed the most he had ever meowed and was purring constantly

5:59 AM

He purrs incredibly loudly!

6:00 AM

"is that a motorcycle passing by?" Nope. Just leek.

6:00 AM

I named him leek bc his feet had socks that reminded me of leeks

6:03 AM

... There is a reason Soseki's appearance and behavior is the way it is, and it's because of dear, sweet, faithful leek

that is so cute

6:03 AM

i hope mr. leek is ok

I hope so too...

observe! distinguished and noble Leek

o yea leek always did the thing where he flopped down and let us rub his belly

Mr. Leek is so cute i just wanna say

we miss him every day fr

potential conclusions for Sei's Funny Food Incident 1. The thing making her food weird goes away and sei's food is normal-bad instead of monstrously bad 2. It doesn't go away - status quo maintained, but we know more about the phenomenon now 3. It's passed on to someone else 4. some horror shit that is definitely not canon

10:17 PM

I have potential thoughts for each possible conclusion

I like 2 just bc it keeps the funny

10:36 PM

~~option 1 but it goes away after her canto~~

rizunyan

~~option 1 but it goes away after her canto~~

both her and her food undistort

LMAO

I did consider an option where the food censoring was a sort of akin to a curse caused by resentment from the people who she slandered with her book, meant to bring down her pride - if it had accumulated further worse shit would have occured but I think that's putting too much thought into that

JSFJSNNF

10:42 PM

OK BUT THATS ACTUALLY A THOUGHT I BRIEFLY ENTERTAINED

10:42 PM

but i dont wanna put too much effort into silly gags

7:46 AM

did i just spend 2 hours making a lcrl sei edit? yes.

7:46 AM

will i do it again? probably.

7:46 AM

her dumb crown...

it's very cute!!

I am unstoppable at this point jsut give me like 3 sets of arms and i’m a content mill

that's three times as much carpal tunnel...

NOT WITH STRETCHES AND REST

the hundred-handed hecatonchierizna... would simply be too powerful.

8:10 AM

I would die. from seeing too much cute art.

Thats why i only have 2 hands unfortunately (edited)

thank you for your mercy of not kill me

LMAO

I had a great lot of ideas for a soseki/sei thingo to write but it is like 1am and brain not work words

Go rest, rubes

go rest (2)

I had fun drawing her makeup

her makeup is very fun to draw

10:03 PM

i wanted to give her a more elaborate look, but i feel like she wouldn't have that luxury anymore now that she's with limbus same goes with rodya

10:03 PM

if you put those two in a sephora, they're coming out with the most luxurious makeup

rizunyan pinned a message to this channel. 8/5/2023 2:19 AM

New reaction image

yay!

It's saying something that sei showed up in my dreams, I think...

HELLO???

It was a dream about a cat maid cafe. Like a maid cafe with cats roaming around. Sei was there

Of course it was

I remember crying because there was a kitten without ears and that moved me for some reason... To the point where I stole it from the cafe

KSJFNSNF ITS THE CAT WHOS EARS GOT TAKEN TO MAKE SOSEKI

its like that goddamn "who do you think took you X" meme

Eradicate catgirls. For every new catgirl, one kitten loses its ears.

equivalent exchange: the cats get the human ears

REAL

7:47 PM

sei finds out one of her kittens lost their ears

7:47 PM

Got human ones

I can vividly imagine her face of trying to conceal disgust and failing

7:53 PM

Also. Proof that i printed them

HELP ME SNDNSNNFNDD

7:56 PM

THATS RLY SILLY /POS

7:56 PM

No one’s ever done that im so honored

Of course! You drew soseki before i even thought to ask and got me hooked on sei

7:58 PM

(/pos)

A topic: motherhood Sei likely has a complicated view of motherhood. After watching her majesty die in childbirth, and hearing about Ryōshū’s daughter, she might have a lot of pessimism surrounding being a mother and raising a family. Which might make her rather … distant, in the face of Layla? Nevermind that that’s her lawyer’s kid, ofc Esp cus Shōnagon (historical) writes about how she finds kids so annoying, like oof…

oh that's a real fascinating angle to explore, yeah

Ik some people like to act as if Yuzuki’s still alive, so I wonder how Sei’s relationship would be with her. Would she make an exception to her feelings over this child that is “hers”? Or would she be distant, but slowly warm up when realizing if she wants to love Shū, Yuzuki’s part of the deal too

10:52 PM

She sees a lot of her majesty in Ryōshū so it could be a bit of a painful reminder

is her pessimism more that "raising a kid seems like more effort than it's worth, and I have no idea why anyone would do it"

Kinda, yeah

10:54 PM

Why put so much effort into it when you can die or the child can die

10:55 PM

And all you’d get is another screw in the machine that chugs along the city

quite a fatalistic view!

10:55 PM

I like it

She views the world like that

I like hearing this pessimistic side of her

that’s why she tries to aim for the top

10:56 PM

Because if she’s gonna die regardless, why not be in a comfortable spot before it happens

10:56 PM

No one can touch her until it’s her time to go

i wonder how she feels about immortality, then...

If it’s a feasible, possible thing… she would likely reject it

life forever means suffering forever, I think she thinks?

Yep

11:00 PM

And if she somehow became comfortable — eventually, it’d be like the fallacy of heaven

11:00 PM

eternal paradise becomes boring

11:01 PM

Court life itself was boring, she wants to live comfortably and just watch those beneath her — but if she can’t ever get to that high place, it wouldn’t be worth longevity

11:03 PM

you imbue your hopes into your child for a better life, but she knows there’s not much to “better,” as it’s easily crumbling

11:04 PM

She wants that unending happiness and safeness but she knows it’s impossible, it’s just coming to terms with that fact

11:04 PM

And boom: you technically summarized the entire shōnagon character arc

wow!! paradise is a continuous cutting motion, not a static place or state!!

11:05 PM

(I do not mean that in mocking tone nor sarcasm)

LMDSNNFD

(imagine, if you will, that sentence, said in a tone like "let's go besties")

11:06 PM

I like how sei's arc contrasts so much with shikibu's arc despite both dealing with their happiness

They’re like night and day

I am amazed at how we have constructed parallels

SKFJNSF

11:09 PM

I HAD HOPED FOR THIS

11:09 PM

Entrusting you with murasaki is my 2nd best decision

11:09 PM

2nd only to Holden’s existence.

lmao

Sei exists in delusion, and a baby is like the direct ripping of that delusion

11:10 PM

She sees layla and is suddenly reminded of mortality

"I'm a 35 year old writer and I'm suddenly confronting mortality?!" - Light novel title (edited)

AKsjsJDJDJDJD

11:12 PM

LITERALLY

11:13 PM

she doesn’t wanna admit it, but being with limbus company is the most fun she’s ever had

11:13 PM

No boring days abiding by tradition, living in perfection Just some idiots and dying over and over again

11:13 PM

it can be noted that the first time she died, she was laughing when she came back

oh wow!!

11:14 PM

that's a super characterful fact

It’s what makes heathcliff lowkey fear her

11:15 PM

It wasn’t a crazy laugh — kinda like the laugh you do after you slip and fall, minus the embarrassment

what was her first death?

She got a little too much on Ryōshū’s nerves and provoked her too much

oh lmao

Basically “I can kill you” “really? It’s my dream to become a beautiful art piece ♡” and before anyone could step in it was too late

wow that's really some flirting. good on ya girl

She fucked around and found out

lebiban

7:01 PM

went to bed thinking about soseki/sei as a romantic coupling. woke up still thinking about it.

8:17 PM

conclusion was that it's a dozen times more feasible after sei's canto, where soseki chooses to stay by her side no matter what

8:23 PM

anything ranging from good long talks about the future and sei's pessimism to just soseki getting to be more assertive with sei (sometimes by picking her up and running off to do something, but also if they're no longer doing the pet thing then soseki feels like she has permission to initiate hugs and other stuff)

thats a good conclusion

8:29 PM

also, the pet thing can def evolve

8:30 PM

like from "you are my pet cat" to "you are a person actually and i really like you"

yea thats what i was figuring

but still very much doting on her

soseki is no longer putting herself below sei

8:33 PM

shikibu/sei, if it's a VN route, essentially amounts to picking choices where the two of them get to banter and butt heads and then they get shoved into a locker together to work out their differences OR sei's canto happens and shikibu and sei get to level with each other

8:34 PM

mostly I pictured shikibu pushing past her gloomy self to be upfront about how she actually did admire sei and the way she acted like a princess, including a comparison to the moon's beauty itself

AWW

soseki/sei/shikibu is pretty much soseki/shikibu going "fuckin' sei and her cute little hair." "and her big ole.... swords." "yeah, her swords." and then the same thing happens anyway

8:36 PM

where soseki and shikibu both get to level out their relationship with sei (edited)

SKDFJDKJF

8:38 PM

i love that actually

shikibu already has a case of "stupid sexy sei who lives in my mind rent free" that either becomes "whatever I don't care about you" if the romance never happens or "ah. shit. fuck. she's actually hot. and she's hotter when she's sad." if it does (edited)

8:41 PM

in any case I would think that sei's nihilism would also result in either a fear of, or apathy towards, a relationship, especially after the canto

oh 100%, even if she's trying to live things up she doesn't want too many bridges to burn

too bad. soseki chooses to stay

9:10 PM

she's on that bridge with a fire extinguisher

9:13 PM

i also gave some thought to how soseki views romance and for her the phrase "love is a choice I choose to keep making over and over" fits to a tee

oooh

If we could get IDs of sinners who’s finna get the Mask of Many Faces ID (it can’t be sei even if it is her distortion)

12:13 PM

NOT SINNERS

12:13 PM

I MEAN DISTORTIONS

12:13 PM

BUT YEA

12:13 PM

bro i just woke up im goin back 2 bed

wait, what is Mask of Many Faces ID again btw

its sei’s distortion

it's the one where sei looks like she has horns right?

Foofy ear.

ohh kitsune ears

Yes

12:20 PM

More foxes, pm

what is her distortion represented to herself and her ambition?

Well, it takes from the pride peccatula (given each one so far has looked like it), and it’s ultimately centered around her desire to run away from her past and not face the consequences of her actions (being, writing that book)

12:27 PM

Like, she distorts when her secrets are all out — her deception, what she’s done, and that she can’t really keep hiding it anymore

ahhh

the harsh reality that you are not as cool and powerful as everyone thinks and /lh

Nyx can relate consider her own identity is a secret not everyone knows, and tends to change topics or gets quiet when someone ask about her past But unlike Sei, it's less of consequences and more of her past represents the "happy life" she had If she finds out about Sei's past, it wouldn't change how nyx feels about Sei, current Sei is different from the past Sei

12:37 PM

~~you know, I think I can honestly see rodya with that ID.~~

12:37 PM

or maybe ego, who knows

do whatever ur heart desire

There’s a lot of parallels between them lol

Ngl. Heracles.

OOOH

6:14 PM

heracles with foofy ears

I can see it...!

6:17 PM

Heracles, I think, can identify the problems of her past and she completely bungles any method of addressing them

6:20 PM

Nevertheless its very on point for her

Ooh and jt could be greek-themed, since sei’s pulls from traditional themes

Yeah!!

6:22 PM

I think if it were an actual ego animation heracles would hit people with the wheel halo

I was doing looking at bloodborne a bit and then I remember Sei's sword remind me of Bloodborne's threaded cane where it can turn into a whip this is like someone remodel of it https://twitter.com/Deutschgreen/status/1327512599974461441?s=20

“It’s so beautiful here.” “Beautiful…? Pfffah. Surely, you gotta be joking…” “No, I don’t think I am. Even with the blizzard outside, I find it quite poetic.” “Poetic? Since when were you into poetry?” “Do you take me as a hobbyless fool?” “Why are you answering my question with another question?” The two aristocrats exchanged a look. The jade smiled towards the sakura branch, leaning in to peer through her. “I think you do take me as a hobbyless fool.” “Not particularly. I just never thought you’d have an eye for writing, is all. Men never seem to...” “It’s funny you think i’m like most men~ I actually grew up more around my female cousins. My father didn’t like it much, but my grandmother always made excuses for me to keep listening to their poetry and picking flowers.” The sakura branch chuckled. “Really? I think it shows, now that you mention it.” “Your generalizations are quite humorous…” “Please keep drinking the tea, I’m starting to get tired of your mouth.” “Well, this mouth will always drink your tea and tell you everything you need to hear. After all, who else will volunteer to take in all your beautiful work~?” “It’s an honor to have you as an audience. Now, drink.” “Ah, oka–mmph.” The sakura branch lifted the ornate cup to the jade’s mouth, prompting him to quiet down.

hongsei is a little guilty pleasure esp now that hongu is kinda slowly leaving the "i am a dumb himbo who was horribly sheltered" and slowly growing into a well-rounded man

That's cute

she is singing her theme

2:56 AM

bc it fits

I'm in the audience with penlights

i imagined her with a very sweet but definitely kinda sultry voice, one that can warm a heart as well as pitch a tent in the right conditions

oh yeah I know the type

this isn't 100% to what i want (honestly a bit more depth to the lower tones would be right there) but for what i'm working with, it's damn close...

3:03 AM

Oh, she sings in her free time? Good to know

Yeah!

3:14 AM

I dont think historically it was a big thing but I feel like Sei would’ve gone out of her way to try and entertain her majesty, and maybe that included song and dance

3:14 AM

Or perhaps it was, like writing, something she did to help each day be less dull

Taking notes...

This video is sei trying to enter Heath’s room

day 2 or 3 of repeatedly listening to sei sing. i'm falling in love.

I’m famous, guyssss

i will tell my nieces and nephews that you drew the mona lisa

LMAO

12:47 AM

Da vinky???

da myon...

my touhou brain wants me to somehow make a mirror id where sei is a drum tsukumogami of some sort.

4:33 AM

Kicks her feet, shockwaves do dmg

that sounds cool...

Maybe something like a nouveau musicians of bremen? But, not as insane…?

I think a tsukumogami musicians syndicate has enough weight to be its own syndicate if you really wanted to go for it

Yeah!

4:36 AM

though i wonder if/how i could translate the idea of tsukumogami

4:36 AM

It is, in a sense, similar to distortion/ego manifestation… but almost reversed

carmen talks to a biwa all ASMR-like and congrats on the new not-baby but fully formed human person

“You are SO mad your owners haven’t played you for a century, huh” “…yeah…” “Sooo mad. You wanna make your music be heard.” “Yeah, I guess.” “Ok, take my hand, i’ll let your music be heard.” “… i don’t…” “Ah. Let me give you one.”

4:43 AM

Does the drum walk? Yes. It does. She kicks it either way, like a horse.

I suddenly realize i cannot draw an erhu.

Eh, baby’s first

6:16 AM

Sorry, had to turn it bi4bi

Hongu's face has such a cute expression

He’s happy that she’s proud of him

Tsukumo Troupe Taiko Drum Sei

“Alright, people! Whatever pain you’ve got in your heart, let it all out for the whole world to hear! Becaaaause…~” Sitting atop a massive drum with mallets on her shoes, the musician is always happy to share her and her group’s music with the world. They’re borne from long-neglected instruments, given a fresh breath of life and carrying the lost hopes of their owners in their music. She plays proudly large drums that resonate the sound of thunder with each hit, nearly summoning a storm with the fervent rhythm of her soul. “… because we all need to release our tension, and fight against the hands that abandoned us.”

i love this concept

hohohohoho

Reverb ensemble but they actually fucking play music

not just argalia's garage band

oho... this does get some gears turning for shikibu, actually

Tsukumo Troupe 1st Erhu Hong Lu

“All music should be heard, no matter the performer or their background! Wise words from our wonderful Raijin~” The erhu adds a mystique to any melody, taking one back to their roots. When this one’s eyes opened, he knew that those roots were long forgotten. Water seems to move when he plays. It ebbs and flows, following only the path the erhu dreams of. At the end of the day, like all the members of this troupe, he turns his gaze to the guidance of their Raijin, sitting atop her glorious throne. She always praises her favorite performer with a boastful smile. “I did well, right? My sound carried to every inch of the neighborhood~” “Of course. You never fail to move me with your talent. Soon, the entire City will recognize our music.”

i do not have the present energy to do much writing but for my own information how would sei react to soseki's IDs being very cold and distant to her

It’d definitely sting

hehehe...

@rizunyan

peaceful.

SOSEKI NO

SUFFOCATION

Sei suffers another death from soseki sitting on her face

this has happened to me many times

Baby

ponytail sei is really cute

柊マグネタイト

柊マグネタイト「撫でんな」feat. 可不【Official Music Video】

For a moment i thought this was darling syndrome but now that im listening to this, it’s catchy asf

I wonder how the tails of mask of many faces would feel…

10:23 PM

Probably very warm?? Tingly??

10:24 PM

Bc its def not fire but it looks like it and might feel similar without the intense burning

10:24 PM

Can you foof? Probably not. It’s not graspable as much as it is able to simply be felt..

10:24 PM

Maybe the distortion couldve been solved instantly if you just headpat.

Soseki cannot participate in this canto

An idea…

11:43 PM

Upon first distorting, Sei wears a mask of her own face, beautiful and idealized

11:43 PM

But it gets quickly smashed on the floor, revealing the eye beneath it

11:44 PM

Which is quickly what turns what could’ve been an easy distortion solving to a long, tiring fight

that's a really great boss intro tbh

11:44 PM

I love it

< From the piles of blossoms emerged something different. It wasn’t Sei anymore. > < It was in colorful robes, had fox ears that twitched curiously, its hair even cascaded along the floor, and… > < When it looked my way, it had a porcelain mask of Sei’s face. > Sinclair: I don’t think that’s… Gregor: it can’t be. She’s never looked that perfect, no matter how much she’s tried. Heathcliff: Oh, bloody— We’ve dealt with distortions before, it’s just one beatdown away from solving. I’ve been waiting for this. Ishmael, Rodya: Heathcliff, wait—! Outis: Stand down! < When Heathcliff charged at the Distortion, he hit the thorny halo that was attached to its back. > < This was enough to cause the mask to fly off, shattering when it hit the floor. > < A large pink eye gazed at us. > ???: You… Iris: Faust, step back. She’s getting aggressive. Celia: There’s … tails, coming from beneath the robe. < And more petals, too. They seemed to be forming the shapes of the sinners, making reflections of them all. > ???: Just… tools… waiting to be used… < This time, I couldn’t even warn the sinners to stay back. The mirages already began to charge at them. >

11:55 PM

Something, like this

oooooo :0

This is wicked good

Little mask of many faces (or kamen-chan, as my friend said)

kamen-hime was also accepted

Soseki would definitely make a lil kamen-hime plushie, regardless of sei's reaction to it

How dare she be a cute distortion

How dare she be marketable plushie

This is the third time the thought of drawing sei in yae miko’s outfit has passed

11:24 PM

The unfortunate thing is i hate drawing genshin designs bc of the complexity BUT ALSO

11:25 PM

The side boob would be insane…

picturing it in my mind. melting

Sigh

11:27 PM

<— using the dedicated fanservice character for her purpose

you talking about sei in yae outfit make my brain remember and I need it to shut up

sei in yae outfit, iris would be eula outfit, soseki is kirara, nyx is shenhe unfortunately idk if there's anyone that fits victor

everyone else around me plays so i learn thru them not shuttin the FUCK UP

actually, iris clorinde instead

i learn about genshin thru my brother

Clorinde, Eula, or Jean works

personality and pathetic wise I think clorinde works better

TRUE

raiden shogun my beloved

BASED

1

SHE WAS MY FIRST 5 STAR OF COURSE ID LOVE HER

While drawing yae sei and nearly avoiding a nose bleed, i unlocked a new part of her characterization in a brief moment of clarity: childish combatant I once said she had laughed after her first death, as if she was having fun — I feel like this might be a common occurrence, where she kinda treats fighting like she’s playing, so maybe instead of her getting too genuinely mad at heathcliff, she’s riling him up because she’s kinda curing her boredom

yae shonagon...

Yae shonagon <3

2:49 AM

I am downloading some stuff tho so its on pause — i ned to reassess w new eyes anyways

2:50 AM

But after all, when you’re essentially at “the top,” second only to the one you serve, you live a sheltered life of perfection. Something something “just like hong lu,” but she obviously knew more. She got to experience more before that stagnant perfection and harmless life, so now that she’s in the throes of combat without permanent consequence, she’s basically a kid in a candy store.

ouhoooo

she can be beaten down, sliced up, burned to death, but she’ll laugh til her last moment and even right as she gets up, remarking that it’s all really fun

masochism /SILLY

I MEAN TECHNICALLY SNJFJSNF

HDHAIBFEJD

sei masochist? okay saving that to memory (joke)

JDNDNFN

Seisochist

maseichist

she’s craved the thrill of danger, and is getting tons of it, overloading with adrenaline

2:54 AM

Makes her seem fucking crazy, and maybe she is

Shed a little.deranged but thats ok

adrenaline junkie...

At least my poosay n sei got smth in common Minus the s

it'd explain her choice of weapon a bit

But rather than “spiteful conceited princess who fights out of anger” i think the “bored princess wanting some adventure for once” is a better angle

2:55 AM

ou they probably spar often

2:55 AM

And its like a very violent form of kids horsefighting

thats really interesting

2:57 AM

im noticing Themes and Patterns

Yeah?

at least with victor, sei and holden, they have a common theme of avoiding and being made to face their consequences

3:00 AM

celia too, sorta (less consequence, but a confrontation of something unpleasant) (edited)

3:00 AM

and for sei to enjoy the fact that she gets to avoid permanent consequences is pretty in line with that (edited)

mhm

3:02 AM

my exact kind of morally gray protag: avoidant attachment LOL

don't make friends on the off chance that they might leave! don't buy that thing because it might break! impermanence and entropy means that everything is worthless! that sort of thinking

EXACTLY LOL

what was that saying again

3:05 AM

the rebuttal against a nihilist is to attempt to slay them on the spot

ooh that one

3:05 AM

having sei be OVERLY bitter and sort of temperamental had her clash too much with holden and be the same

3:06 AM

nearly

3:06 AM

Only really main difference is their willingness to accept the bitterniss

it's tiring being miserable all the time

i also think it makes her stand out because NOBODY ELSE is having a delightful chortle when they die

yeah nah I can see why she's menhera (for want of a better word) in the killing game au

yep

Bc ryoshu gets a kick out of making ‘art’ from sei, and sei’s having fun sparring with someone so interesting

oh that's fascinating yeah

If the cuts are perfectly even and a flower arrangement is made, a wax-sealed letter containing a beautifully written poem is left by the candles the next night

4:34 AM

If allowed to be a beautiful artpiece, it’s okay to share a moment without clashed blades by the irori

i wish i can start a mug collection, but im way too clumsy for my own good...

yoa

one of them is underverse blob...

All of these are so pretty…

oh yeah speaking of sei and her motifs consider her theme is flower and nature, the people she's rather close with/friendly with have harmonious theme as well with her yi sang - sky, bird, stars hong lu - water, cloud, dragon soseki - cat, nature, moon nyx - night, moon, deer the only one I can't figure out is ryoshu LMAOOO

KSNDNSND

12:44 PM

ryoshu’s actually her opposite! :)

12:44 PM

Same for rodya

true.......

She tends to have more tumultuous relationships at first that end up becoming watertight (albeit still strained in a way) with those who are opposite of her, such as Heathcliff, Ryoshu, Rodya, and Ishmael

12:46 PM

She’s the water to soothe ryoshu’s flames

yoa

oh yeah speaking of sei and her motifs consider her theme is flower and nature, the people she's rather close with/friendly with have harmonious theme as well with her yi sang - sky, bird, stars hong lu - water, cloud, dragon soseki - cat, nature, moon nyx - night, moon, deer the only one I can't figure out is ryoshu LMAOOO

BUT THATS ALSO A RLY CUTE DETAIL I DIDNT REALIZE

wait on that… That adds a new meaning to her wish for a castle in the sky, because all of her favorite people would be there

7:55 PM

hong lu is the clouds her palace sits upon, soseki and nyx are the moon she gazes at, and yi sang is the stars that light up the sky

a respite just for them

Exaaaactly

rizunyan

hong lu is the clouds her palace sits upon, soseki and nyx are the moon she gazes at, and yi sang is the stars that light up the sky

To make this even better Hong lu can dance for her, nyx can play and write song, yi sang with his poems, and Soseki just do usually pet cat behavior

I MEANNN

9:46 PM

Ur right

9:47 PM

Unironically I feel like shikibu or soseki are the true endings

wow, u ditch ur fav canon /j

those involve her confronting her issues and dealing with her past

yoa

wow, u ditch ur fav canon /j

IM JUST SAYING

also. im honored

like, with hong lu, yes she’s eternally happy and gets anything she wants, but ultimately her demons are still there. She is just attached to the copium machine

Id want sugar uncle hongu

she averts her eyes

Even with ryoshu, she just instead is choosing to combat those demons with toxic escapism

9:49 PM

Never really growing, just becoming one with the macabre

9:50 PM

Its also similar with heathcliff but instead it’s like a “i’m yours until you no longer need me” deal, so it’s not really L for longevity

9:51 PM

It’s like L for… lobster. It makes the lobster happy.

This does give me the impression that sei is a character associated with dreams (both the sleepy kind and ambition kind)

I don't think she's that eepy but I kinda get the dreams like her desire wise She's very passionate and ambitious with what she wants from what it seems, although some of it is less materialistic Idk if she's more of a dreamer or a thinker tho

she’s not very eepy but def the latter

11:27 PM

She’s a dreamer 100% LMAO

11:28 PM

her and iris are both dreamers but iris is in both senses, sei just in ambition

11:28 PM

And iris’ ambitions are a LOT stronger.

rizunyan

Unironically I feel like shikibu or soseki are the true endings

Also re: this, why not both. Sei comes back on the bus and hears two pairs of footsteps coming to greet her

TRUE

Loser alert

AWWW

I wrote these notes at home, when I had a good deal of time to myself and thought no one would notice what I was doing. Everything that I have seen and felt is included. Since much of it might appear malicious and even harmful to other people, I was careful to keep my book hidden. But now it has become public, which is the last thing I expected.

One day [c.994] Lord Korechika, the Minister of the Centre, brought the Empress a bundle of notebooks. “What shall we do with them?” Her Majesty asked me. “The Emperor has already made arrangements for copying the Records of the Historian” [the Chinese work, Shih chi]

“Let me make them into a pillow,” I said.

“Very well,” said Her Majesty. “You may have them.”

I now had a vast quantity of paper at my disposal, and I set about filling the notebooks with odd facts, stories from the past, and all sorts of other things, often including the most trivial material….

I was sure that when people saw my book they would say, “It’s even worse that I expected. Now one can tell what she is really like.”

7:01 PM

this passage....

7:01 PM

i barely read this bit and somehow i got YET ANOTHER THING almost accurate

Oh my goodness

Everything that I have seen and felt is included. Since much of it might appear malicious and even harmful to other people, I was careful to keep my book hidden.

and

I was sure that when people saw my book they would say, “It’s even worse that I expected. Now one can tell what she is really like.”

7:03 PM

if only me and rizna can combine our power to self spoiler canto 5

i didnt read all of the pillow book in one sitting, i've been repeatedly going back and forth and kinda reading both the translation and original japanese (it's just above my reading level)

7:04 PM

cus it's honestly slightly boring /silly

7:04 PM

like going through a woman's diary

7:04 PM

i almost feel shameful reading it

rizunyan

cus it's honestly slightly boring /silly

it's a historical nonfiction novel right?

it's not even a novel

7:04 PM

it is quite literally just a collection of notebooks

7:04 PM

of lists, stories, poems

ah, kinda autobiography not really?

it's a genre called zuihitsu which ig can kinda fall under that?

7:05 PM

these little tidbits where i filled in gaps and then somehow got it right are kinda interesting

7:05 PM

something a bit ironic is multiple times she states that cherry blossoms, the color pink, and clear, fresh water are unsightly things in certain conditions

7:06 PM

which are all.. symbolisms i've given to her

7:06 PM

but specifically she states some don't look good when they're painted

Unsightly in certain conditions...

so i'm lead to believe she's not saying they're unsightly, but that they have a beauty that cannot be perfectly captured

7:08 PM

she also writes a lot of really specific gripes and stories, which also makes me believe she's speaking of personal experiences or stories other ladies have told her

7:08 PM

she also states she gets embarrassed easily and many little embarrassments are a huge deal that "nearly bring [her] to tears"

7:09 PM

and she was gay as hell for her majesty.

7:09 PM

When I first went into waiting at Her Majesty’s Court, so many different things embarrassed me that I could not even reckon them up and I was always on the verge of tears. As a result, I tried to avoid appearing before the Empress except at night, and even then I stayed behind a three-foot curtain of state.

On one occasion Her Majesty brought out some pictures and showed them to me, but I was so ill at ease that I could hardly stretch out my hand to take them. She pointed to one picture after another, explaining what each represented….

It was a very cold time of the year and when Her Majesty gave me the paintings I could hardly see her hands, but, from what I made out, they were of a light pink hue that I found extraordinarily attractive. I gazed at the Empress with amazement. Simple as I was and unaccustomed to such wonderful sights, I did not understand how a being like this could possibly exist in our world.

Many such cases

rizunyan

so i'm lead to believe she's not saying they're unsightly, but that they have a beauty that cannot be perfectly captured

112.

Things that don’t look good when they are painted. Pink. Irises. Cherry Blossoms. Images of a man and a woman depicted so well in a story.

113.

Things that look good when they are painted. A pine tree. An autumn field. A mountain village. A mountain path.

7:10 PM

here it is

7:12 PM

71. Rare things. 
- A son-in-law who gets praises from the father-in-law. 
- A daughter-in-law who gets adored by the mother-in-law. 
- A silver tweezers that works well. 
- A servant who doesn’t talk ill of the master. 
- Flawless styles, personalities and some beautiful looking things stay flawless as they go through life and time. 
- To see people, living in the same area, trying to have respects, not showing their shortcoming to each other, to keep maintaining that attitude completely and impeccably.
- Not to make an ink stain when you copy stories and anthologies. Especially with a good book, you try so hard not to make a mess, but it is impossible, it always become dirty.
- Not just between a man and a woman, but also among women, it is very rare to see the promises and a deep friendship being kept long and forever.

7:13 PM

surprisingly, writing a character with so much frankness to her person means i'm less creating, more adapting

Yup

i find it pleasant to see when i'm somehow able to properly adapt by filling in these gaps and then later seeing that I was still faithful to the original

I had difficulty with shikibu bc I feel like she was such a private person that she was afraid to put down her genuine thoughts

it's not much of a stretch to say, then, in the wake of a future, people in the city might find joy in sei's writing much like people do now

7:15 PM

when it's been 1,000 years

We're still out here reading it after all!

yep :)

7:16 PM

i think it's a fairly cute book, even if i get a sense of shame reading it LOL

7:16 PM

i'm sorry, lady shonagon (edited)

Sense of shame?

i'm doing this to keep your spirit alive

Number 1 Odelle Fan

Sense of shame?

knowing it's meant to be private, it feels a little like i'm intruding on her privacy

7:17 PM

even if it's been widely published

Oh it's a lil voyeuristic yeah

like i said, the feeling of picking up one's diary and reading it behind their back

7:19 PM

In 981, she married TACHIBANA no Norimitsu (965 - 1028), the Governor of Mutsu Province, and a year later she bore him a child, TACHIBANA no Norinaga (982 - 1034); however, she couldn't get along with her rough husband, and before long she divorced him. However, they didn't seem to be separated completely, and tradition has it that they maintained contact with each other until 998; the people of the Imperial Court characterized their relationship as being one of "brother and sister."

7:19 PM

# OOH

7:19 PM

I'm not sure if I want Sei to be a mother actually, but the history of relationships is intriguing

7:20 PM

Some materials indicate her friendships with FUJIWARA no Sanekata (? - 998), FUJIWARA no Tadanobu (967 - 1035), FUJIWARA no Yukinari/Koze (972 - 1027), MINAMOTO no Nobukata (? - 998) and MINAMOTO no Tsunefusa (969 - 1023). Particularly, there remain many of the poems that were exchanged with Sanekata, so there is an assumption that they were in love with each other.

Yeah I've kinda been kinda ignoring shikibu also having a kid

rizunyan

easy to digest video

7:21 PM

on this drama

Same

i opened up Sanekata's page and i'm now more lost.

Drawing up a goddamn cork board with red string

while in the Emperor's presence, an incident occurred in which he had an argument with FUJIWARA no Yukinari about poetry; the incensed Sanekata is said to have seized Yukinari's official court cap and hurled it to the ground.

7:22 PM

# DAMN

Yikes

Now me personally

Wig. Snatched, Sisterrrrrrr (not to amyone in particular) (edited)

HELP

Three years later, Sanekata was in Mutsu riding his horse past the guardian deity of Kasashima when the horse suddenly collapsed, crushing him underneath and killing him (his grave is located in Medeshima in the city of Natori). He was just 40 years old when he died. Makura no Soshi (The Pillow Book) tells of the legend that after his death, Sanekata's spirit came to haunt the area underneath the bridge over the Kamo-gawa river. Another legend claims that after he died he was reincarnated as a sparrow who then devoured all the uncooked rice of the Imperial palace.

GET HER COOCH!!!

7:23 PM

NOW ME PERSONALLY

tl;dr sanekata died by his horse crushing him to death, sei writes a legend that his spirit haunts the area under the bridge over a river nearby

7:24 PM

Sei wtf

GET HER PUSSY

 and he is thought to have had a love affair with Sei Shonagon (author of The Pillow Book). He is also said to have had affairs with over twenty other ladies, leading some to suspect he was one model for the main character of "Genji Monogatari" (the Tale of Genji), the titular Hikaru Genji, the Shining Prince.

7:24 PM

# I'M LEARNING SO MUCH

7:24 PM

HOLY SHIT

7:25 PM

Shikibu, watching this man lay pipe on a bunch of women: this is the perfect subject for a book.

I think there were definitely multiple inspirations for genji

Number 51: Dare I speak what burns within? Though you know it not, I crackle in the moxa flames of love for you

7:26 PM

# DAMN

7:26 PM

OKAY SANEKATA WITH THE POETIC RIZZ (edited)

7:30 PM

The rivalry between Sei Shonagon and her contemporary writer Murasaki Shikibu, who wrote "The Tale of Genji," has been widely discussed in later generations. However, it was long after Sei Shonagon left the Imperial Court that Murasaki Shikibu began to serve Empress Shoshi, so they couldn't have known each other (but Dr. Bunei TSUNODA advocated a different opinion in his thesis 'Sei Shonagon: Her Later Years,' and he pointed to the possibility that she might have continued her service at the Imperial Court after Teishi passed away, with reference to the word 'Shonagon Myobu' of Ichinomiya Atsuyasu Imperial Prince in "Gonki" (FUJIWARA no Yukinari's Diary).

7:30 PM

hmm

7:31 PM

# ITS HIS THESIS?

7:31 PM

god i have so much to read.

I think it's been mythologized rather much - I think it's interesting to keep rather than "who's this pink bitch that I've been tasked to hunt down"

7:31 PM

riz do you have access to jstor

i don't anymore

cool - if you need anything I can grab it for you

this is why i love you and you are a bestie

7:32 PM

here's something I found

Mostow-MotherTongueFather-2001.pdf

314.54 KB

so this is the citation for Bunei Tsunoda's thesis

relating to both sei shonagon and shikibu

7:32 PM

haven't had time to read this one

7:32 PM

gotcha

god why did i decide to use a historical figure /silly

7:33 PM

although i'm glad you made shikibu, it means we're in these trenches TOGETHER

7:33 PM

saving that in my library

bun'ei was also localized as bun-ei...

YEAH

7:35 PM

both work

like jo'on and jo-on and joon

7:36 PM

(but the last makes english people say "june")

7:36 PM

I also just ignore that Sei has a child mostly because her view of children flip-flops, but I feel like it's more of an interesting route to have her be almost aversive of it after empress Teishi died during childbirth, and she left court very shortly after

7:37 PM

like, a lot of the anecdotes about children are mostly under the lines of "children are cute until they are too close to my way of living"

jstor doesn't have 1975 BUT it does have a 1957... in french.

IN FRENCH?

7:37 PM

LMAO

Fuxkin frenciies

i dont know enough french to read an entire thesis.

its a review of a magazine

No hablo france

rizunyan

like, a lot of the anecdotes about children are mostly under the lines of "children are cute until they are too close to my way of living"

like she notes that it's beautiful to see an adorable child eat a strawberry (she.. really likes strawberries. i got that right too.) and then saying it's annoying / anxiety inducing when a child is playing on the ground near a moving carriage

7:40 PM

# SHE HAS SIBLINGS

so this is the citation for Bunei Tsunoda's thesis

where'd you grab this btw? wikipedia?

NICE

7:45 PM

i mean i don't exactly need said thesis but if someone wrote a piece on what happened AFTER shonagon left court that'll give me good ideas on how to handle the unkown period between her leaving court and then joining limbus

idk what's worse sei's multiple works or hong lu's big stacks of books

also i'm now confused, multiple sources say she was fourteen when she joined the court, but the math isn't mathing bc this article says it was in 993? she would've been about 26...?

riz this is the kind of minor scrupulosity that may have the potential to get you deemed an expert in sei shonagon's life

yoa

idk what's worse sei's multiple works or hong lu's big stacks of books

i meannn this is bc she's a historical figure, but she only really authored the one book and was featured in many collections of poems

7:48 PM

alongside others who served in court

yoa

rizna, learning history for the sake of OC 2023

this is me learning about martial arts and sword arts

I'm fearing the random reddit commenters who are like "UHM Actually this character is bad bc" and then they point out a minor detail (not actually, but I want to make the best character possible)

7:50 PM

i'm sobbing. this is silly but i'm gonna say a few people have probably made articles that are like this about her

7:50 PM

LMAO

7:52 PM

ok no more sources are saying she was 27 and served for 10-15 years

Number 1 Odelle Fan

this is me learning about martial arts and sword arts

me learning medivel weapons just for fun meanwhile

but for sake of the fact that LCB sei is only 34, i might take the interpretation of her serving from 14

7:53 PM

i dunno

7:53 PM

18-28 feels a lot better though

7:53 PM

but probably preparing for a few years

7:54 PM

17-28...

11 years...

7:54 PM

that gives her about 6 ish years before joining limbus, which is a LOT of time

it really is

IS ONE OF HER DAUGHTERS NAMED AFTER THE CAT OF THE COURT??? AW

what really

she remarks about a cat named Lady Myobu and one of her daughters is named Kouma no Myobu

7:58 PM

(supposedly, it's one of the few stories told about what happened to Shonagon after she left her service)

7:58 PM

Despite having been a mature, experienced woman, likely nearing age 30, Shōnagon was apparently self-conscious, and thought herself unattractive and awkward in comparison with other court ladies. Initially, she tried to stay behind the curtains, observing the courtiers and their wives. But Shōnagon took pride in serving the brilliant empress and gratefully received her favors. Having impressed Sadako, who eventually succeeded in coaxing her out from behind the curtains, Shōnagon wrote Makura no sōshi on paper (a rare and valuable commodity) given to her by the empress.

I love this.

7:58 PM

I must look fucking insane doing this amount of research LMFAO

7:59 PM

over an OC

7:59 PM

but i'm also just greatly enjoying learning about this time period

its interesting that the kuzushiro manga characterizes shonagon in a manner very much in line with this anxiety

yeah!

i say that in a "wow they got that right! neat!"

one could even say that she's projecting a lot of her insecurities onto others given how she's rather opinionated about appearances of things and making one look good and not-so awkward

8:00 PM

....

8:01 PM

did i fucking get that right too

8:02 PM

It's somewhat fun to think about the sort of dichotomy between the court life and its simple pleasures and then life afterwards

theres definitely something to be said on transplanting something from the heian era into what we know as a more or less modern and bustling city

yeah!

8:03 PM

some things are the same, but a lot is different

8:05 PM

Even learning a little more about the people around Shonagon too, such as Sanekata or Korechika and Teishi, it makes me think of like (edited)

8:05 PM

really fleshing her environment out, because I think i'm fairly settled on her internal affairs

8:06 PM

or her past husbands

yeah, I'd say I'm similarly weak in the surroundings department

I like to think of the internal before i work on environment tbf

8:07 PM

I can see parallels in the relationships and the current ones, which really put to light how i can understand them

8:11 PM

in terms of love life, I might make it so Sei has only her one husband who she divorces, Tachibana no Norimitsu, and then the affair with Fujiwara no Sakenata (who dies partway through her service), then all those feelings she expresses towards Teishi (an impossible target, but one she admires either way)

8:12 PM

in parallels, consider that Heathcliff (although without romance, but def a connection at first before settling for their strained friendship), Hong Lu, and Ryoshu

8:13 PM

but in from left stage is Murasaki Shikibu and Natsume Soseki

8:13 PM

LOL

lmao (with a hint of apologetic regret?)

HELP

8:14 PM

KSDJSKDJ

ok, i've learned

i am listening

nah that's my summary statement LMAO

8:27 PM

although i'll make some notes

it will no doubt be of use to me too

just so i dont forget it all and can kinda compress it

ya boy has done a lot right in terms of characterization and certain small events
- i think i can kinda categorize sei's life into 4 categories, with each one having unique events and ideas. KEYWORD: TIMELINE, CHRONOLOGY
- 1: Early Life, birth to ~17 years -- life with siblings, going to school. Nest Resident (what nest? I dunno, we only know about some of em.) and the daughter of a high Corp official who is also a poet. Middle-class life.
2: Court life, 17 to 28 years. Multiple points, but a main thing is she is a shy and self-conscious lady in waiting.
- 18-20, she's married fairly young, then divorces her husband. Shortly after, blooms feelings for Sanekata and has a subtle / proposed affair with him.
- 20, Empress receives a bunch of notebooks, and gives them to Sei, who remarks she'll make a pillow.
- 23: Sanekata dies (how? sei never knows), she's now writing a lot about the book. Life is normal.
- 27: Empress Teishi dies during childbirth, and part of her writing is found by a guest who later carries it off. Later that year, she leaves court with her book found, living a private life doing (???? likely staying with her family in the nest?)
- 28: She writes the final passages, which are then found again by a friend, and then published without her knowing. This closes off her court life, as the book is widely spread
3: Running, 28 to 34 years. Can't give exact dates, but a series of events during these 6 years.
- Likely a time for working many jobs. Offices, associations, making connections under her birth name (as she changed her name in court? that's what I want to make of it.)
  - She briefly works with an office and meets Victor, who was running Geneva Parlor at the time. Something, something, she finds out about the process of Adam's creation (likely being part of the arranging party for the deceased, and seeing the limb robbery) -- this roots their blackmail dynamic.
  - As the imperial court hears about Sei's book and how much was revealed in it and how much of their secrets got out, they hire the Shi Association to hunt her down.
  - By now, she was a K corp. Secretary, and she expresses her need for help and protection. A coworker refers her to Edelweiss, remarking it's "run by the director's wife, who will definitely help"
  - Sei is now one of Lilith's clients, and given the sensitive nature of one being hunted but also working under shady (but not illegal) pretenses, Lilith tries many routes, but it looks like options are becoming slim as Shi has figured out Sei's pattern of hiding.
  - A solution (or rather, remedy is proposed) to join Limbus Company, as Faust is seeking another and Lilith knows Sei is a good candidate. Protection from Shi, some extra money, and a chance to travel. Shady contract given, NDAs signed, Sei is cornered and she buckles under the pressure to join.
4: Limbus Company, 34 years to present. It's the Sei we know today, her canto, her blooming connections and enemies.

HOLY

8:57 PM

flashback to high school history class

Some interesting bits about the rivalry? although i think the general consensus is that Shikibu and Sei never met, this can't be put in fact for LCB...
that cat and one of her daughters having a same name is funny. Maybe just different cats / names for AUs, because Lady Myobu as a little tuxedo cat cannot be passed up. but i also love Sango and Suna.
She likes kids???? but also doesn't???
Has siblings. Idk how I wanna deal with that.

8:58 PM

8:59 PM

3 husbands? ew. no. only 1, thanks.
what a flirt... maybe she's known for having many flings, much like Sanekata. Also, was court life truly that easy? so... drama-filled. So much sex, apparently?

(edited)

for anyone just reading this channel.

9:03 PM

I just have too much respect for my OCs they're like real people to me and I would not DARE to ever disrespect Lady Shonagon

9:07 PM

to add: apparently there is a version of the pillow book written in a 21st century contemporary style, as it's been considered a tragedy by some scholars that the way Sei writes back then was very casual, but to the modern eye it appears beautiful due to how language has evolved since the Heian era

9:07 PM

i am trying to find it, because I HAVE to read this shit.

do you have any leads that I could help track down with

https://www.kyotojournal.org/in-translation/on-translating-a-classic/ It's mentioned in this, here's the excerpt:

It wasn’t until I had finished and sent off my translation that I looked at the notorious translation of this work into modern Japanese by Hashimoto Osamu. “You’ll probably hate this,” my friend said as he handed it to me. Hashimoto has transformed The Pillow Book into the breathless babble of an excitable young contemporary Japanese girl. (“Dawn is like just sooo spring!” etc.) In his preface he makes exactly my point — that what Sei wrote is talk, not written or literary language, and that it’s a crying shame that her classic status and our conviction that Heian Japanese is ‘beautiful’ have meant that readers have ceased to be able to hear her. He claims, tongue-in-cheek, that Sei had to wait for a thousand years before 21st century girl-babble evolved as a language that could finally express her essence.

Heathcliff's Testimony: NEKOMATERIAL-A

We all got our own set of E.G.O., which changed form depending on who was wearin' it. I got some kind of angel, with talismans all over me. Kinda odd, but I don't mind it.* Some of 'em wear frilly dress gowns, like they stole from their nan's wardrobe. Some grew bat wings, holding playing cards and wearing suits. The rest? Quite literally cats. Big paws, two tails, even the ears to go with it. Sei was of the cat variety. She got the treatment the worst, with her eyes glazin' over and filled with some sort of sick lust. I wasn't wearin' my E.G.O. this time. But she was stuck in hers, purring and twitching. She's hunched over, tail swinging wildly. It was cetainly a sight. Any bloke would see this and think, "A chance with a fine lady, and one that's a cat!" I know Caulfield would'a been off his rocker in this case. But me? Ah, Sei's my seatmate. I can barely stand her sometimes, you think I want to be here? You gotta be a new level o' daft for that. When Dante asked me to help, I thought they were takin' the piss. Why not ask Shu, or Hong Lu? It's gotta be a joke. I honestly can't be arsed to deal with this. But when I asked someone else, the response was always to deflect. What a bunch of... Anyways, she was vomiting. It was like the woman was plastered, blubberin' to herself and cryin'. I would've felt bad if it wasn't Sei. I had to hold her pigtails -- I swear, if Rodion looked my way and made some inappropriate comment, I would've bashed her head in. But she didn't. I was just holding Sei's pigtails. I even pat her back a little, trying to calm her down. She started meowing at me, trying to sputter some words between the bouts of vomit. I didn't care to listen. I don't even remember how she got out of it. I blanked out from all the sound, and when I came to all I saw was the usual annoying Sei covered in the pink-white vomited sludge all over her uniform. "What would you even call that?" Ishmael asked me, picking the princess up. I snickered at her. "Hell if I know. Probably an overdose."

HELP

Testimony: Sparring Buddies

I find the most excitable part of life to be the thrill of combat. Watching your life be put on the line, giving it your all, feeling the rush in your limbs as you fight to survive.* Too bad there are only three people on this stuffy bus that are willing to fight with me — and two of them I have to provoke. Hmph. At least Liu’er is a pleasant opponent. Their fists are like the wind, cutting the vines of my whips as if they were made of paper. When we fight, it’s like children rough playing — but we always stop it before Dante needs to intervene. “…Hah… this is it! Give me all you got!” “You sure? I don’t think I can…” “Do it. I trust you.” “Whatever you say, princess—“ And just like that, my request is met. My ribcage is crushed beneath their fist. Through the pain, I can only stifle a laugh. This is so wonderful, it’s so exciting to live like a real human. As my heart slows down, I smile. Good job, Peaches. You win. And… i’m sorry, Manager.

soseki: "fight? no way."
shikibu: "...not yet."
heracles: "Spar? Me? [laughs] I won't say no, but you know what you're in for, aye?"
Galatea:
- pre-heracles: "If you wish."
- lil shit: "Yeah, let's rock, bestie."
- post-heracles: [no response.]
- post-canto: "Sorry, busy- could you ask someone else?"
Suzhen: "Oh? Me? Sure, sounds fun."
Bateman: "We'd be best putting our energy somewhere else, no?"
Muramasa: "Oh, sure! I'd love to try something out."

Heracles, she knows for sure, and it’s what she wants

Sounds right, she’s rather prone to going over the edge though so shikibu would have to stop it

12:59 AM

She wants to Feel Danger

12:59 AM

It’s super immature

I can definitely think of alternative ways to channel that desire

Therapy is a start

but like, I think shikibu would see that sei's getting a bit too into it and would probably move to disarm sei while heracles (or someone else) also steps in

Instead of hurting yourself, maybe we can read poems together, hmm?~” “…” “Aw, come on, I’m trying here.” “Sure. Just… once.” “Good~ I can show you some self-care techniques while we’re at it. It’s not really good for your health to get beat up all the time…” “Thanks, Hong Lu, but-“ “And, what if you die?” “That’s the fun part. The fact I might.” “Hmmm…Is that common with people from your hometown…? I thought wanting death was bad.” “Can’t explain… please.” “Ah, ok. I see~ let’s get you cleaned up.”

Pov the bus every week 2 sei

I think at this rate soseki is moving from devoted servant to "I need to fix you bad" faster and faster

Hong lu like “are u ok or is this a trend”

Soseki

1:21 AM

Soseki, internally: "ok I don't even care about being attracted to you now I need to care for you"

It’s like her way to sort of even out the overly peaceful and strict court life she was getting bored of, just going fuckin ballistic now that she’s free (and able to revive)

lil shit galatea playing russian roulette with sei

She mostly stops after Holden’s canto, limited to just increased risk taking in fights or taking unnecessary hits

1:25 AM

But after her own she mostly seeks her thrill from just the fight alone and not the prospect of pain

1:27 AM

To be human is not to feel pain, but instead to have a burning passion at all

Friendship has a flexible definition: An anecdote

When I joined Limbus Company, I expected no one to get along with me. I surely wasn’t interested in them either, until obviously it changed. My seatmate, Heathcliff, is different. We’re like opposite in everything, from our favorite color to where we come from. We fight a lot, but sometimes we are rather calm and can have conversations. This was one of those occasions. Today was my birthday. He remembered. And, in classic backstreets-oaf style, he gave a backhanded happy-birthday and said he “tolerated me more than the rest of these blokes,” which I think is progress. What was the gift? It was a small pocket mirror with sakura decor, as if made for me. Perhaps we are friends.. just not in the traditional way.

I know soseki would ask if sei would want to come along with galatea's Get Out of The City plan, but I'm not sure if she'd go...

she'd debate it for a long while, but if she felt like it was better than staying / had no one who'd hold her back, she might go

shikibu in twintails...

once again, late at night, thinking about how soseki and shikibu help sei confront their past in an experience that is net positive and affirming

9:55 AM

especially trying to track how shikibu goes from "I don't give a shit about you and need to kill you for the sake of my duty" to "you are my rival whom I love dearly and inspires me to reach further heights"

The therapy cat and ninja gf

every time I think about the fact that I made shikibu a spy I cringe at myself bc of overwatch 2 "all japanese characters are ninjas" despite myself knowing that my interpretation of this is something with historical precedent

Ive had many a thought on how impactful those two can really be for sei, especially shikibu

LMAOO ok fair

10:57 AM

But she’s cool this time.

rizunyan

Ive had many a thought on how impactful those two can really be for sei, especially shikibu

please tell me.

Well, given the rest of the cast, most of them can only really do either

iron out the abrasive personality
feed into her desire for escapism / cause backwards development But Soseki, at least (if the times align) having a chance of knowing Sei before she became a sinner — as one of her last jobs was of a K corp Food and Resource Dep secretary … meaning she’s got the Kurse — it could both come from the place of newfound therapy-cat and “I can’t stand seeing you like this” or “you’re the one that sold herself to the eldritch lawyer. Man you need help” (in a lighthearted sense)

NO HEY I REALLY LIKE THAT

Shikibu has the deeper connection. Depending on how much we wanna say they interacted while in court and how long both lasted in this (sei was around a decade iirc), Shikibu essentially knows everything and has to kinda combat watching it live now and almost questioning why she was sent off to do this, but that knowledge gives her much more leverage than anyone on the ironing side — such as, say, Heath or Rodya or Hong Lu, who weren’t there when the book was written (literally AND figuratively)

11:04 AM

So like, for Sei to have any meaningful development and growth, Shikibu is needed given that anyone else from that time is either dead or not looking in Sei’s best interests

I think it's more interesting if they knew each other on a level akin to "friendly acquaintance", so that they can let both their masks come down during their time as sinners

That makes sense! I mean, the Sei in the palace is different than the one in limbus

11:04 AM

Its like watching the shy girl go through her wild gal phase

exactly exactly

But she can (and will) dismiss literally anyone else bc they “werent there” or they “dont understand,” she’s just that uppity

11:11 AM

Murasaki “guess what - i was there” Shikibu shows up and it’s like the self-help equivalent of a powdered drink mix

Soseki has a pretty high probability of knowing Sei bc she worked her office job pretty much straight out of college, but also even if she didn't she'd probably turn to Shikibu out of a genuine desire to help (knowing that this would probably piss Sei off)

New hot secretary joins the company

I thought about it some more and I think it makes more sense for Soseki to be so wildly devoted to Sei if she remembers her from her past and realized that Sei might've done something to help her without realizing it

oh that is very interesting, yeah

10:13 PM

i did kinda feel a need to justify their bond w/o just the silly "princess and her cat" thing, and that's a good way to put it :)

yeah, I think even if Sei did something that she doesn't remember to help Soseki in her time of need, it's enough to keep Soseki going just long enough to have joined limbus

Those are cute!!!

Sei’s uniform being so different is so funny, bc imagine ur a rando in the city and u find this 4’9” woman strutting in the most flashy uniform and 20+ depressed motherfuckers are behind her in similar but less unique uniforms

11:40 PM

Like “are you their boss, little lady” “No. I don’t wanna be associated with these people.”

Did she personally pay a tailor

yes

11:41 PM

She did

11:43 PM

Alternatively, she goes “Why yes! I am,” and proceeds to play the role until someone else corrects her or Dante themselves does, watching all the sinners give the “are you gonna shut this lady up” look

I can see soseki and shikibu playing along because they're like that, but shikibu would probably hint at her sense of self importance leading her to beef it

Hong Lu, playing along and being way too natural at it 10+ pairs of eyes glare daggers behind him

Like outis' backhanded comments but from shikobu

11:54 PM

9:58 AM

and this has to be laughable for moonshard

10:00 AM

jadeblossom and walpurgisknight are similar in that the couple are very tightly bonded and one def cares for the other, and they're in their own world but its so obvious w jadeblossom bc it's like sei's walking around with a puppy bf who 100% does not mind being harmed to help out

is honglu doing a get down ms president

no, that's soseki

I hope she appreciates it at least

10:01 AM

otherwise this cat is catching bullets for nothing (I am the one making the bullets for her to catch anyway)

it's more a "you need me? alright, i guess i can help out!" and proceeds to get his back sliced into

oh yeah its more than appreciated

rizunyan

and this has to be laughable for moonshard

instead of saying sei with her bf, nyx would prob compare it as sei with her dog KEKL

yalls ship names are so cool

you can have cool ones too

Right

IT IS SKDJFSDKJFSD

i do not tend to think of them and thus they do not come easily

thats why i also just say irifau

as much as it's funny to say nissan, it's just a crack ship name as well

it's a shame hong lu prob use mandarin, cause i found this thanks to ak

Its om we xan pretend he speaks both

true

yeah

Leng lui is very very informal and commonly used in cantonese

9:51 PM

On the other hand, it's probably much stronger in mandarin

9:51 PM

If you wanted the equivalent to call a guy, it's leng zai

reading the text and imaging hong lu saying babe or chick make me want to cringe

Id rathwr kms than ever hear jim sya tat

Leng lui is closer to "bro" in terms of weight tbh. Doesn't have that strong of an implication

9:53 PM

You can use it on waitresses without being creepy

“Hey babe” sei, vibrating:

add to the list of "character that should never speak like the embodiment of internet slang"

Bros gonna get called a pookums

LMAO

Quick! Make honglu speak valley girl accent

GOD NO WE CANT HANDLE IT FROM MORE THAN FAUST

california girls we are invincible~~~

Made me think of Honglu comparing hand sizes with sei for some reason

I will eat ur toenail clippings. /pos

I could write that when I get home... Maybe as a warmup

ok wait that’d be adorable though

Intertwining fingers between his broad hand, now a littl more calloused due to fighting, but still soft, feeling the little writing callus on sei's hand...

she prob got tiny ass hands cus she’s a tiny ass woman but he’d hold them delicately

Hongu shoves her hand into his mouth /silly

STOP

Makes a ring with his finger and thumb around sei's wrist

sei would call him over and hong lu put his hand on hers like a dog

H GF FHJFH awww

Palm kisses or back of hand kisses or finger kisses

all of the above

10:53 PM

Back of hand kisses most

Pushing chopsticks into sei's hair and waiting for her to noticr

9:42 AM

This is sei. No further explanation needed

Sei after committing acts of terrorism after celia DARE touches her cake:

LMAOOO DID YOU READ THAT PART

SKFKSKD I READ EVERYTHING

HELPP WHY ARE U GUYS SO FAST

This is basically Sei about to destroy nyx's office just for sweets

Soseki. bake faster

Celia inherits certain things from the onee-san trio and her love for sweets comes from Sei

9:45 AM

However Sei WILL murder for sugar

Honestly word

thinking about shikibu and sei and one of the plans shikibu had planned was straight up a trail of strawberry shortcakes leading to a cardboard box propped up on a stick

# GOD DAMNIT TOAST.

12:44 PM

so, sei as a manipulator: she has ... well, technically 7 people under her wing (bc mordred's getting roped in, that's an interesting dynamic) that is ryoshu heathcliff hong lu shikibu (technically) soseki holden mordred the people that get mostly affected by her canto, her distortion after she's recovered, she's probably left in shock, wanting so badly to die to atone for what she's done. but what's more painful is being forced to live, having to face those harmed by her, and their forgiveness (or even lack of) is infinitely more painful than the permanent death she yearned for. to look those people in the eye -- even the one she loved most, and tried to hurt the least -- and see their pain, and face it each day and in her nightmares. that's fucked up !!!

12:45 PM

she's pitiful and pathetic, she would beg for mercy but that mercy or kindness was never offered to her

12:46 PM

especially after distorting, like -- you doubled down, saw that path, walked it, and now you want compassion? it's fortunate you weren't slain forever, because dante can bring you back. but i'm sure when that contract's over, you're not gonna be alive for long unless you really stop trying to play god

12:47 PM

get your shit together sei and stop manipulating people to climb the ranks for yourself

4

now THIS is the kinda stuff i like to see!!!!

12:55 PM

points a wand at her CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!!

12:56 PM

/SILLY

FUCK THAT BITCH /silly

Lil WHORE. /silly

Toast

hi normal!

Hey ur not my dad

️

I like the shikibu (technically)

i fele as if she has too much dignity to truly be 'one of the hoes'

Yeah absolutely

10:22 PM

She's the only one who tries to rein her in I feel

10:26 PM

Like sei may be horrible and manipulative but soseki and shikibu know her and want her to do better

10:26 PM

The manipulation has to come from somewhere, right

mhm

So the two of them wanna help out (as long as sei wants to improve)

i so badly want her to be happy but that is a possibility so far away

The two of them will work to enable it

real

10:38 PM

like, sei is happy with hong lu, yes, but she still kinda. just has him under her thumb, so in the end it's not really the wholesome happiness that you'd expect from the longevity of say, iris or even celia's relationships

10:38 PM

or that i'd want out of her

Like... A deep seated insecurity...

it's strictly a ... visually, archetypally pleasing relationship

Yeah

it's the prince and princess you see in fairytales

10:39 PM

the rich man and his beautiful trophy wife

Like it seems like a simplified relationship for sei who seems like she doesn't want to deal with the entirety of another person

yep

10:40 PM

the only case they have a truly fulfilling relationship is in the mirror world where they're essentially reduced to nobodies -- fucking tingtang gang

Oh my

which says a lot

10:41 PM

bc even then it's kinda... hedonistic

10:41 PM

poor sei, wearing a false crown and living in a castle of cards

Yeah - my sort of puzzle as a writer is what she wants - security? Control? Acceptance?

10:41 PM

It feels like mostly the first one

she wants security, she gets it through control

I feel like shikibu would be a whole thing bc she doesn't play with sei's games but is still willing to protect her (she wants the bounty for herself, maybe?)

10:45 PM

Idk soseki and shikibu both aim to fill that desire

10:46 PM

Shikibu and soseki as a sort of emotional safe harbour, perhaps?

So determined to give sei a space to be herself

i am reading and enjoyjng all of this
