The existence of Ricardo Everywhere and the Clear All ■■■■■ button implies the Limbus Stable gang has at least gone through up to Canto 6.. I'm here wondering what it was like.

The One Who Gallops Kromer?

Dongrang, Who Races All?

PEQUOD STABLE?!

Oh! "Cantos" here work differently, It's true that they might have found them on different cups, but not 1:1 as in Limbus Company's story!

Soon y'all will see them~

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

Image Description provided by @loveize

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.

When people hear stories about abuse, they often get fascinated and interested in the abuser, and the 'mystery' behind their behaviour. They'll want to analyze what happened to this person to make them act in such twisted and sadistic ways, and they want to find the past event or past abuse that would 'explain it all'. Abusers will also, very happily recount the past abuse whenever it's time to explain away their behaviour, so nobody could hold them accountable, because after all, they had had it rough! Of course they're now abusive, it's only natural.

Fascination with explaining away abuser's behaviour often leaves victim's situation forgotten and ignored. Victims are supposed to just 'get over it', not be so sensitive, and be careful to not turn into abusers themselves, because after all, being abused means you become an abuser, according to the abuser. Except it doesn't, and victims often don't end up abusing anyone else, especially not in the horrific ways they themselves have been abused. So we're having two opposing stories: one is told by the abuser, and it's easy, simple, explains everything away, and it says, abuse causes future abusers, I am the proof, I was abused and now I am like this. Victim's story goes: I was abused, and now I struggle to function, I have cptsd, I have flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, anxiety, eating disorder. I struggle with suicidal feelings and wishing I didn't exist. I feel like I'm not important at all in this world and like I have no community, no family, no home. Failure of everyone to help me while I was being abused caused me to feel like an outcast from society, someone who isn't a part of it, who doesn't matter. I would never do this to another person, I feel like a part of me was torn away into pieces and I struggle to put myself back together.

Now that story is complex, it implicates the society in failing to stop the abuse and making the victim's life worse, it showcases the actual consequences of abuse, which are not 'becoming evil', but feeling ultimately traumatized and damaged, struggling to find joy and happiness in life in the aftermath. Society doesn't want to hear that; it makes abuse into a problem that should collectively be dealt with, rather than pushing it all onto individuals who find themselves trapped in it and suffering. It's much easier to pretend that abuse just makes someone abusive, and for people who are abusive, we need to feel sorry for, because they were 'made to be like this', and for those abused, we just need to shame them and control them so they don't become abusive themselves.

There are abusers who have lived privileged lives, there are abusers who have been spoiled and rewarded for their acts of abuse. Most abusers don't show the symptoms of trauma nearly as bad as the victims of abuse do, they're most often just having the symptoms of 'I lash out my anger on those who cannot defend themselves' and 'everyone needs to feel sorry for me because I am having the roughest time on the planet'. Weird how the victims almost never develop these two symptoms! Victims will go and compare their situation to everyone who has it worse, and will struggle to express or direct anger at anything. 

So what is the actual source of abuse, if not past trauma? There's no study or statistics that can tell us that for sure, and abusers are careful to maintain their story and are not interested in being studied past what makes people feel bad for them. I would guess that it's a mix of entitlement, being in a position of power over someone vulnerable, never having to develop empathy or compassion, being rewarded continuously for acts of abuse, and social influence (admiring other abusers and wanting the power they have). A lot of social structures support and enable abuse of those who are at the very bottom of it, with very few protections against it. A lot of people believe it's their right to abuse someone if they have the power over that person, and gain power specifically for that cause. Abusers will have children and believe this is their property and they can do whatever they please with it, abuse being a part of it.

If we don't know where abuse comes from, how do we combat it? I don't believe in feeling sorry for the abusers or giving them endless attention, chances, excuses and rationalizations; instead I believe we should stand firm on the fact that abuse is inexcusable, and will have consequences, regardless of how it came into their behaviour. If abuse always had consequences, regardless of the history of the abuser, they would know they can't get away with it, that they can't later make everyone feel sorry for them and go on with their sob stories. Abuse would get them punished, not sympathized with.

I also believe the abuser's point of view should be decentralized; it should be victims who get to speak. It's easy for the abuser to show themselves in the positive light, minimizing the abuse, insisting the victim provoked or wanted it, that it wasn't that bad and it was done with 'best intentions'. But if we listened to victims, we would quickly understand that anyone who can do this to another person is monstrous, and should not be extended any sympathy. Abusers don't extend their sympathy to the victims when they abuse, so why should they expect to get it? Society should take abuse more seriously and put defenses into place, so abusers are not as easily able to put it behind closed doors. Resources for recognizing abuse, especially child abuse and intimate abuse, should be taught, spread and shared in society, so nobody would be able to convince another that suffering abuse is normal, or justified.

One of the biggest barriers to escaping abuse is victim confessing what's been happening to a trusted family member or a friend, and then this family member or a friend shaming and blaming them for it, instead of offering help and protection. It takes a lot of courage to even say something out loud, knowing the abuser would punish them for it, and then to be punished externally for speaking out, it's devastating. If abuse was taken seriously, and victims understood to be fault-free, but singled out, isolated and hurt in a way that nobody should be, and it was understood it's a societal responsibility to protect them against this, it would be easier to speak out, and get support. It often takes a society to help someone get free, because abusers are hell-bent on abusing once they start to, the victims need multiple barriers before abusers could get anywhere near them.

And why shouldn't we want that? If we know there are people in society such as children, young people, people without regular income, poor people, disabled people, compassionate people, marginalized people, people who struggle to recognize and flag down predators, shouldn't we want to make sure they're protected? That nothing bad happens to them, and they're free to live their lives safe from those who would do them continuous harm and make them want to die? We want our young, old, kind, vulnerable, sensitive, disabled, poor, compassionate and marginalized people safe and happy. There's no reason to throw them under the bus and leave them to suffer abuse.

CANTO 8 SPOILER THEORY

Ok so I'm going to bed but I just thought of a theory

Shin/Mang may be an amplifier based on context and force. The more strength you put into an action, the less shin needed. The LESS strength though, the more shin.

An example of this would be Demian vs The Indigo Elder

The Elder is a COLOR FIXER, and when throwing his harpoon at the Palid Whale, he's shown with 3 mang. It makes sense he wouldn't need much more power considering that he is, again, A COLOR.

Meanwhile, to obliterate Kromer, Demian used 7 mang, but we never saw what he attacked with... my guess is he was enhancing the breeze made by his arm wave. It makes sense than that you'd need to enhance that a lot then, a light breeze can't kill a fly, much less an abomination to nature.

All of this to say more mang dosnt mean a person is nessisarily stronger, it more may mean "weak attacks can be made stronger". I imagine enhansing something you're already putting your all into is difficult, as Lei Heng could only use one.

LIMBUS THOUGHTS & THEORIES

SO THIS IS GON BE ON:

Nocturnal Sweeping, Middle Sinclair, and Midspring Night's Dream 2. Spoilers for all three

NOC SWEEP THOUGHTS:

MIDDLE SINCLAIR

- Ok so I wanna focus on the interaction between Ryoshu and Don, That interaction was interesting to me, since according to Ruina, sweeper juice is literally liquid human. My interpretation of this is that it liquifies all of the human, more than just physically. Ergo, bloodfiends might be able to consume it for energy. Also Dons "don't rush me" was so great, just a touch of Sancho coming through in that moment.

- Yihua is great, into the woodchipper with him.

- CONFUCIUS, BUT ANTAGONIST GOES HARD AF

- Xichun was amazing in this intervallo, which makes me sad cuz I'm 100% sure she is going to die in canto 8.

- We got some lore on Q corp! They're one of the most overtly magical imo, I wonder what their full name might be, honestly!

Ok I wanted to mention him specifically because of one single line, the specific mention of "Tortoise Boluses". SO, I'm hazarding that the Boluses have a specific theme, that being the four auspicious beasts: Dragon, Phoenix, Tiger, and Tortoise. I say this because, like the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac, these four are part of that. What does this mean for the lore? Idk but its neat!

FUNNY DREAM EVENT (very little theorizing, just saying things I loved)

- I love how out of everything; Heathcliff distorting, Samjo literally melting, LITERALLY THE PALAD WHALE, none of them made Dante as instinctively horrified as Ryoshu going ":D". Man went into fight/flight because Ryoshu smiled at him.

- You can absolutely tell the cutscene sprites were not made for these emotions. Meursaults' stoic, intense body language against him smiling is so unbelievably cursed, same for ADHD Faust and Angry Sang. This whole event was a cognitohazard, 10/10

OK NOW FOR SOME ACTUAL LORE-AJACENT THOUGHTS

- The Ryoshu and Hong Lu moment was pretty intense for the comedy of the event. I already believed that Ryoshu had something in the sheath of her odachi, but now I'd say it's practically confirmed.

- Faustcord actually has quite a bit of protection, it seems. Moreover to me though, there's bullying in the collective consciousness. While yes, this event isn't cannon, it can still inform cannon. This makes me think that Fausts monotone quietness isn't just because she's connected to a consciousness with a ton of highly intelligent individuals, but because she's being judged at every move, told what to do and expected on following through. It's suffocating.

-- Segmenting this part off, as this Reddit post has info on the translated voice lines from the event, which are somewhat insightful for me. --

[Meursalt] - "It has been a while since I... wielded a weapon."

YEAH BUD? HOW WAS THAT? HM? Funny aside, this definitely displays Meursalts story happens after the book. Wonder how he got off of the punishment, hm.

[Don] - "Ugh... but I still haven't cosplayed... the Princess of the North Snow Planes..."

New fixer named!

[Sinclair] - "Haa... This... is more stress relieving than I thought?"

This pairs well with a Heath line

[Heathcliff] - "Oi clock! This kid actually has some calluses setting in!"

I like how this both shows Heath's got a bit of respect for the scrawny lil guy, and two, how violent Sinclair can be. Yes he's an anxious little guy, but lets not forget that he was literally melting in Canto 3 and the thing that kept him going was the unending want to destroy Kromer.

And das it, stay safe y'all!

[negativezero2]

That's the same fucking guy

[negativezero2]

Y'know this is a shower thought but I wonder what the greek mythos abnos will have to do with Outis's canto

I don't remember anything in The Odyssey related to hospitals so like, tf did Outis do? Cyclops in Limbus is some sorta healtcare professional, and mf already has a spear through its eye! So Outis is without question related to this abno, so wtf did Outis do to anger a hospital.

[negativezero2]

The furry Syndicate

I initially didn't feel like making it into a post but I thought I might as well share it since I haven't seen anyone else talk about it yet.

While the Nocturnal Sweeping teaser gave us very little outside of revealing the setting, it did also give us a better quality version of the core illustration for the core illustration for the event. And. Well.

There are five unknown individuals gathered around the gate/potential Sweeper Den. While they're hard to make out due to being only small silhouettes, as far as I can tell their features don't appear to match any faction we've seen thus far, meaning they're likely a new faction we'll be meeting. It also makes me think this will be the faction we'll get IDs of this Intervallo.

Now, for some speculation!

The way this faction is positioned and framed gives them a sort of... almost territorial vibe to them. It makes me think they're more likely to be a Syndicate rather than a Fixer Office, as it's more common for Syndicates to care about the areas they have control over. Likewise, what little information we have on Sweepers from Ruina implies that Syndicates are the ones more likely to mess with them compared to Fixers, likely since there's very few people who would contract an Office for matters involving Sweepers.

Another thing is their appearances, or what little we can discern from their silhouettes. All of the members of this faction appear to have: glowing yellow eyes, weapons that have a glowing rectangular shape at their ends, and are all wearing cloaks and hats of some kind.

In addition, two of these silhouettes appear to be unique in some way. The bottom left one appears to be wearing a witch's hat, while the top right one might have tall animal ears?

My current completely off the wall theory is that we could be dealing with some sort of witch/yokai Syndicate, partially based on those two silhouettes, but also based on the fact that the Night of the Backstreets partially takes place during the Witching Hour.

Stay safe everyone

Listen.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

"Degraded" in the case of gloom makes me think of its major motief: water. That is, something "degraded" as its being "weathered away at", like a rock upon the tides. "Sunk" is what simply happens to the peices after that; they sink into the ocean, unable to surface.

Expresions of Sins

BREAKS THROUGH THE WALL I HAVE NOTICED A DETAIL MOST INGENIOUS

You guys know how we have Mirror Dungeon floor packs, I have seen some (Including myself) look at the sin weaknesses ones to interpret what sin... weaknesses in EGO could mean.

ONLY NOW have I thought to notice the theme packs of USERS of those sins. While i don't think those are representing what sins themselves are using, I do think they might signify the main expressions of those sins, or maybe degrees of that expression

Beware, this is going to be more chaotic, as I am writing this RAW without any particular deep analysis, more as a jump-off point for thinking, and all of it might just be making a lot out of nothing BUT WHATEVER ANYWAYS STARTING WITH

Wrath, which is represented with words "Repressed" and "Unbound", quite contradictory adjectives to attach to the same word. With the fact that "Unbound" one is the one with warning signs, it might reffer to degrees. Repressed is expression of wrath that is still somewhat managable when we contain the rage against injusticies or what we hate, while unbound is when this sin goes beyond control, when the fires of hatred overtake our actions (Hi sinclair and Ishmael)

Addiction and Tangling. Personal reading here, Addiction is something that comes up because theres lack in your life that you feel the need to fill, so here its pursuit of lust in search to fix what we are lacking, while tangling is when we are completly out of control of it, when instead of pursuing lust, its lust that controls us (hi bloodfiends)

Treadwheeling is basically a meaningless action that brings no change, so treadwheel sloth is acts which either perpetuate status quo, or have no bearing on reality, actions that change nothing. Then Inert sloth, is when we stop taking actions all-together of our own volition, rather, just flow according to our preexisting pressures and circumstances (oh hi yi sang)

Here my reading is as such Devoured Gluttony somewhat implies that there is some form of satiantion to this hunger, this craving according to which someone acts, while excessive suggests that there never will be any form of satisfaction to ones pursuits (Oh hi faust, what are you doing here)

Yeahhh i've got nothing.

Vain pride seems to imply simply perceiving oneself as better to others, while tyrannical being such certainty in ones superiority or rightousness as to impose it onto others.

With how I read envy as at its core inferiority, the Insignificance here seems to read to me as acting in perception of oneself as not worth the time, effort or attention (Oh hi heathcliff), while pitiful is when that goes to level where one perceives ones existance as lamentable to a point where one deserves some sort of compensation for it.

Sorry for complete chaos of this one, I can't really focus my thoughts RN and wanted to put this out.

Also, @lu-is-not-ok pinging the OG sin interpreter to see his potential thoughts if he feels like those theme packs hold any sort of significance.
