I DO have a long Project Moon Universe post/mini-essay(?) I wanna make (Well. focused on Limbus, but also the other games as well), but I want a few more Cantos to go by first for references to prove my point,,,,

Spark Notes draft below the cut if anyone's interested in the premise: "The City, and its relationship towards those who are too gentle for it's cruelty"

Ok great, for the people still here- The sad little essay I wanna eventually make-

I think it's. TRUELY heartbreaking how much kindness as a concept seems to be punished in the city, to the point where its often an active point that the truly kind (or at least notably non-violent) characters always seem to get the shortest straws.

I won't get into too many specifics till I make the Whole Real Post, but- It feels like a few things typically happen to "Kind" people in this city

They distort

They flat out die

They become an outcast

The city beats the kindness out of them by force until they are forced to conform to cruelty

And tbh? Not loving how the community collectively treats some of them.

I mean, one one hand, we have people like Yuri- People LOVE Yuri. She never did a single thing wrong, and we can all agree-

But those who distorted or conformed? Seem to be collectively treated worse, while other OBJECTIVELY worse characters get off scot free

(*Note: Final essay will include more examples, these are the main ones I have off the top of my head)

--

For an example- Think back to Runia- I CRIED through Philip's plotline. I could clearly see the story of a man who- maybe wasn't the most courageous- who TRIED to help how he could- Got pressured so hard that he snapped and distorted under the pressure, becoming something that was beyond his own feelings, letting his distortion bury his heart to not feel that pain again- I LOVED that storyline, and then I come online and see him mocked for being some useless dipshit coward- THAT'S JUST SOME GUY- It's not his fault for being caught up in horrors beyond human comprehension (*Note: I checked his wiki for details. that man was only 24. He is younger than me. This man is barely an adult, no WONDER tbh)

--

Or my most... controversial character opinion, considering how I feel about Dongrang. Let me start with a disclaimer- I didn't read the books, and my opinion of him has exactly NOTHING to do with whoever the real life counterpart apparently is- I'm EXCLUSIVELY talking about the FICTIONAL character.

Limbus went out of their way to show that he'd, at least at some point, been a guy who was SO KIND that he was actively wasting his own money to help people/animals, and his co-workers ACTIVELY berated him about it- He wanted his tech to be healing, just so he could save people-

And then, of course, like every kind deed in The City, it didn't go unpunished- And to survive, he adapted. I'm not saying his actions weren't wrong- they were. I am, however, saying that I don't necessarily BLAME him for snapping.

He never WANTED to become like the other cruel people in the city, and even the cutscene images of him complying with it show him in visibly agony over it, and one image even shows him in tears- He never WANTED to be another cog in that awful machine, but when faced with that or utter destruction, he made a choice to survive.

Hell, half of him distorting himself was due to how guilty he felt for doing all of that in the first place-

Meanwhile, online, 90% of posts about him are "teehee I hate this piece of shit-"

--

For both of these that HAVE committed questionable acts in some way, I'm not saying I condone the things that happened. Because I don't. But I CAN feel sympathy and pity for them over the things that happened to make them what they became.

I can only imagine what the city would be like if kind people like them and others had been ALLOWED to be kind, without being punished for it.

--

And with all of this, all these characters who DARED to be kind, who DARED to fight back, even for a little bit, before inevitably being either physically or emotionally destroyed by the sheer weight of how this city works at its core- ...Some of the TRUE villains are treated better by the fandom then they are.

Canto III? Kromer- People go nuts for her- Some people even ship her with Sinclair, despite it all. She gets so much fanart. She gets SO many people ogling "ooo evil lady pretty", only for her to commit atrocities with a smile, and without a single slimmer of remorse.

Canto IV? Alfonso. Batshit insane, evil as hell- at least half the reason that characters like Dongrang ended up as fucked up as they did. You'd think "Wow- this is the person that made the person we hate the way they are, lets hate her too!" right? WRONG. Again, she gets the "pretty evil woman" treatment and people brush off her atrocities to ogle her. She also gets love by at least part of the fanbase.

And to that, WHY? I don't get it, genuinely. - Their actions?: horrible, terrible, not redeemable in the SLIGHTEST - Appearances?: You know what, I'll be honest- I think ladies are pretty (I'm Demi, but I can 100% enjoy a view) but I think these are actually two of the least attractive women I've laid eyes on. (Not the point of the post, and that's just opinion, but anyway)

And I'm not sure what causes it, honestly.

There are moments where at its worst, it almost makes me feel like the distant cruelty of The City isn't so distant after all- Those who are mostly kind, but fell into despair and tragedy, and turned into something worse get overwhelming hate-

Those who are evil, yet a bit more charismatic in approach become beloved?

Overall- Its a strange, curious tragedy of The City that the kind are often scorned and punished, and the evil stay beloved and in power-

It's just odd to see the mirror of that in the fanbase's reactions.

---

ALRIGHT GANG- That concludes my EXTREMELY rough draft of my eventual thing about The City's weird relationship with people who try to be kind, and the overall mirrored reactions of the fans-

If something in here is just rambling, or doesn't make sense, sorry- again, rough draft, but I thought it was worth sharing anyway

--

EDIT: Ok before anyone notices them not being included, I purposefully left out main LCB sinners and ESPECIALLY Dante, because though I could write about them forever, I want a little more canon content to work with before rambling about them in this post- They are a GREAT midpoint as someone who can't remember the cruelty of The City, and is now clearly struggling with the urge to stay kind in the face of The Horrors™- Honestly they were my main inspiration for this, but I DO want more info before writing about them fully, thanks <3

#Anyway guys have fun with the draft!#Feel free to comment if you have comments about it <3 #limbus company #library of ruina #limbus company spoilers #library of runia spoilers #project moon

rises from the grave hi im still in my lobotomy corporation rabbit hole, except now its all project moon games whoopsies! anyways! if the project moon fans get lost on this or why this exists. i combined the things i was fixated on erm, scratches my head shrugging i put a bunch of managers from clash into Lobcorp so why not put some of its characters into clash! Not from lob corp but from library of runia instead :) Angela!, cog named not decided but shes kinda the cross between a paper hands and a angel investor. so fusion cog kinda?. might call her suit name the librarian since in a tt setting they would be working the library which would work like a sort of cog building but with better rewards harder fights. every time you enter the library it gets harder aswell so you eventually would have to fight all the patron librarians before being able to fight Angela herself. Roland is a toon worker at the library who isnt too toony anymore,(might even consider in only his lore making him an uber toon,) just with everything he put up with in his life. spoilers for Library of runia if i talk about him a bit more, but essentially he has his own floor fight in which hed change to a cog due to library magic. yet to create his cog look. but other wise hes the cocky toon sending out letters to invite people to the library in the name of angela and often being a toon insider for the Liberians. i think ill go over their motives more may haps if i do the rest of the librarians which i probably will, hell maybe ill even try to make roland an actual toon on clash for funnies. (im coping i dont want to finish lil oldmans task)

Fun fact idk anything about lobotomy corp or library of runia (are they..?? Even related? I think they are) but I see my mutuals post about it a lot and have watched one (1) whole video in my recommended that I'm pretty sure is related to it talking about Love Town and that fucked up transport system and. Wow yeah. Anyways have any suggestions on where to start with this- (motions vaguely to both lobotomy corp and library of runia)

they are related! lor is a direct sequel to lc

ok so lobotomy corp is better to start with if you want the whole story spoiler-free but if you're like me when i didn't have the patience for it and just played ruina first, you can do that, but read up/watch a video on lcorp's story first. it's very very heavily involved in ruina's story

ruina i'd say is more friendly? since it's not as focused on trial and error as lcorp is (i.e. EXTREMELY so, i am not even on day 20 and i've reset the day more times than i can count) although both games are hella time-consuming. i wouldn't call lcorp tedious myself but to some people it absolutely will be tbh

all in all remember that it's all to have fun and you can enjoy this series however you like :] if anyone gets on your case for it just distort them

Do you think Angela qualifies for the Anthy archetype?

you know what. i think she'd ALMOST meet it, given that she's chained down by her role - but passivity while stewing in resentment and hatred and self-destructive coping habits is key to an anthy archetype. cycles of abuse have worn anthy down to resigning herself to an eternity of suffering, and she only gains strength to resist after the last few episodes. angela, though, is willing to destroy everything for her revenge. anthy is chained by love/affection and simultaneously freed by it; angela resists from the get-go

tho i haven't finished library of runia yet so i can't say im right. no spoilers please

Tear to Pieces au: "He could use his flesh to stitch/meld people together which is a horrifying thought, but a cool one"... I would tell you about the Love Town reception from Library of Runia.... But I won't... Because it's rather... well... messed up with be a MASSIVE understatement. The thought that Izuku could potentially pull a (expunged for MASSIVE spoiler reasons. and some messed up horror game stuff obviously) is very VERY horrifying.

It is a pretty messed up ability but hey, what can I say.

Also what's Love Town Reception or Library of Runia? Are these things I'm gonna have to search up and probably traumatize my FBI agent with?
