#lobotomy corporation headcanons

[ruinaimagines]

i love this blog sm i binge read most of the HCs here, also just to fill my brain with happy in the future and because reqs are open how would the sefirot react if their favorite employee (you) were replaced by nothing there?

HEYY I am so glad my writing brings enough entertainment that you’re willing to binge them!! Thank you for the compliments and ofc ofc you may.

Sefirot Reacting to You Being Replaced by Nothing There Headcanons:

Malkuth would immediately know something is off based on the uncanny stare ‘you’ offered. Didn’t help that the responses weren’t really.. Responses to what she was trying to get your attention for. Would immediately bring it up to others to check on you and figure out what happened, wouldn’t delay in action at all especially with how risky that would be in the Lobotomy Corp environment. Would be mortified upon realizing that it’s none other than Nothing There, leaving a very unfavorable reality for you. Is heartbroken over this but at the same time knows she has to move on, it’s part of the job after all. This will probably impede her work flow for a bit and she will put emphasis on paying close attention to the abnormality so stuff like this won’t happen again.

Yesod probably gets frustrated with your lack of proper answers to his words, thinking that for whatever reason you might just be being stubborn. Will repeat things only to realize ohh. Oh. That’s not you. Immediately calls someone over to suppress the abnormality before it can go on a rampage. Feels a little bad for getting irritated and assuming it was you, considering that it kinda implies that you’re uh.. Not in the best shape. People will notice that he seems to be a lot more snappy and short tempered in the coming days as well as drown himself in even more work than he did before.

C’mon don’t do this to Netzach he already has 500 reasons to be sad. Genuinely thinks it’s just you joking around and playing dumb for a little bit, so he entertains Nothing There for a little while unintentionally. Then it sort of starts to rub him the wrong way and he notices that the behaviors you usually have just aren’t the same. Honestly open to being mauled by Nothing There when it clicks but yeah that wouldn’t really work out in the end. Like why did it have to be you? Honestly considering bribing the manager with the fact he’ll do his work (let’s be real for a week at most) if he can bring you back.. But he also wants to trash talk him so he’s torn between two sides. Doesn’t help that his team is meant to ensure the security of the employees, just salt in the wound really.

NOO NOT HOD poor baby knows some things off so her first response is to ask if you’re okay. Thinks you’re just struggling with words to explain but no Nothing There is just like that. Only figures out that it’s the abnormality when someone else points it out for her, and when I tell you if machines could have facial expressions the way her look morphed into being mortified. Feels stupid and also terrible because she really enjoyed talking to you, even blaming herself a bit though it wasn’t her fault. Does not speak for the rest of the meeting and everyone can tell that it’s had an impact on her.

Tiphereth is like Yesod where she’s initially pretty annoyed and thinks you’re pranking her, only to learn the truth and be thoroughly disgusted with Nothing There. Will claim that you’re an idiot for letting that happen to you in the first place, and that you should’ve been more careful and then immediately begin writing 30 papers on why the abnormality needs more secure containment procedures as well as trying to convince the manager that you were one of the few actually competent ones. She does care, and she will put effort in trying to get you back.

Gebura is pissed. She already has some pretty rocky foundations with Nothing There, and because of such can immediately tell when it’s that horrid thing and not you. It gets suppressed the moment she lays eyes on it, no hesitation at all, and with immense loathing. The manager will be rewinding the day whether he wants to or not, she doesn’t even have to say anything you can just tell that she is not having it and it’s probably the best course of action if you don’t want half of the facility to be trashed. Doesn’t even have time to be super sad because yeah you’ll be back.

Okay well Chesed always knew this posed a risk, and externally seemed pretty laid back about it. A sort of ‘That’s really unfortunate, feel free to take your time everyone’ where he knows the atmosphere is heavy. You’d think he’s taking it well so long as you don’t see the 80 coffee mugs strewn about his office. If robots could have the shakes you’d think he was in the middle of an earthquake. Given it’s very likely you were a part of his department and one of the more stronger agents, he will make not-so-subtle suggestions of rewinding the day. I mean hey everything can just be redone, it’s not too big of a deal, plus it doesn't seem worth the cost of a really useful employee right? Right???

Yeah Hokma is not having it. He understands you might be a bit immature at times but there is no way this is slipping from him. Stares at the abnormality with all I can describe as a powerful disapproving look. The old man starts speaking in what seems to be riddles for the rest of the day, going on about some philosophy that only makes sense to the other employees in his district (and even then sometimes it’s hard to process). Will continue to talk about you a lot, even if he doesn’t directly say your name everyone knows who he’s speaking of. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he kept a memoir photo around.

Binah just shrugs it off, an indifferent ‘that sucks’ air to her as she goes about her day like it’s more of a mild inconvenience if anything. It might come across like she could care less about your death, but really it’s because she feels pretty confident that it will be rectified. The most unaffected out of everyone, going back to her work and watching the other employees as she waits for the day to come to a close. If it seems like it won’t be fixed? Well, she’s already quite the threatening individual, what makes you think she won’t go through with it? Really the best course of action is just to play the safest route, after all it’s hard to understand what’s going on in that kind of hers.

Some more headcanons I might not get to share otherwise

At some point, we (me and @bad-lobcorp-aus) decided Ayin saw the labcoat (accidentally titled lobcoat by me) as a comfort item.

Related to above: I headcanon the lobcoat was incorporated or otherwise kept around by each of the Ayinspawn; Adam took it apart and probably used it to make the robe, Abram is very clearly wearing it, and Abel either wears it under that pinstriped suit of his or keeps it on a stand in his room.

On that note: the Ayinspawn probably each have personal living spaces we never see. This is pretty obvious though, if you take the interpretation they’re all previous clones of Ayin.

I can’t remember how many suppressions Abel completed in my timeline, but Abram got stalled on Tiphereth after failing both Gebura and Chesed’s suppressions; quote: “the sight of lisa wailing atop a mountain of enoch’s dead bodies convinces him in one blow that none of this was ever worth it.”

Adam, on the other hand… that’s a mess of it’s own proportions. Iirc, he did complete Chesed’s and maybe Tiphereth’s suppressions, and he definitely completed Gebura’s, but he did it by doing the shelter cheese. If you know what the shelter cheese is, then you know it makes the Gebura suppression trivial to complete… but, in universe, this comes at a cost. Iirc, at least one of the reasons the cognition filter is a thing is because otherwise there will be massive trauma to even an adult mind, which, in the City, adults are way too used to the whole gore and murder thing. Well, instances of X aren’t, but w/e. Adam is physically, including the brain structure, a 17 year old. His mind is still developing, memories of being a 40 year old be damned. And it’s been 2 (in-facility) years since his tenure; he was 15 when he was managing! This whole managing thing already probably took a toll on his mind. He had tried to complete the Gebura suppression normally, but at some point he gave up on that.. and used the shelter cheese. Of course, in universe, this is kind of immoral. You’re kind of essentially making Gebura relive her death. And this is what caused Adam to spiral. He had some kind of nervous breakdown during this, and came to the conclusion that Abnormalities are just reflections of humanity’s true forms. Somehow. He is also scared of Gebura.

So in other words, everyone in the facility is all kinds of fucked up.

Can't stop thinking about Firebird's ego gift and what a pain in the ass it would be to live with one. Imagine coming home from a tough day of working for L-corp, watching your friends die and being close to dying yourself and now you desperately need to sleep. Only to find out that you kinda can't cuz ur new fire horns will burn the pillow. Or just anything in general so you can't lie in the bed either.

At least working on Snow Queen won't be as cold and they are aesthetically pleasing. Nuggets' life will suck even more with them but heyy good looks and stats are totally worth it

thanks for coming to my ted talk

(RIP to that Agent.)

Imagine Firebird giving them that gift just to piss Snow Queen off. Being a creature made of snow and ice, an EGO gift from a WAW class, flame Abnormality would naturally melt her.

On another hand, imagine a Yandere AU (or just in the canon AU) where Firebird gave them his gift to protect them from Snow Queen? He had heard of the infamous 'kiss', heard of what happened to those she gave it to, and he absolutely loathes the idea of his little Agent being encased in her ice for eternity, never allowed to leave or see him. Not only would his EGO counter her speed-reducing spear, but his are clearly more superior compared to her little ice sculptures.

It would later become obvious that he's not actually just doing to protect them, but to mark them.

He would love nothing more than to see his little Agent defeat someone inferior like her. Seeing them wear his own gifts is just the perfect cherry on top~

Normalest character in gaming history (blatant lies)

[everyonesonthespectrum]

Today’s Autistic character of the day is:

i think Binah would know how to ride a motorcycle. no i do not take other opinions on this

[ohmewhatsthis]

Persona and Project Moon crossover things

because we need more persona project moon crossover stuff hot dang

the well and the sea of souls are like. if they aren't the same thing, they're right next to each other. joker has a fusion accident and ends up with mountain of smiling bodies instead of legion.

give me a plucky teenager who summons One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds as their starter persona.

NETZACH QUEST IN PERSONA 3 IT FITS SO MUCH DAMN (if you're a Sufficient Velocity person you know what i'm talking about)

Post Persona 5 bad ending AU where after getting absolutely wiped from existence, the PT wake up in The City. It's just the logical conclusion to that bad end, where no one is free and only thinks about surviving to the next day. No one hopes, no one dreams, no one believes in anything. The strong crush the weak, the weak gang up on the weaker, and the cycle goes on and on and on. Literally their worst case scenario nightmare.

On that note, Carmen and crew really saw the Fall of Humanity and went "I can fix them!" (they could not)

Considering The Library is made of Light, which is like, concentrated enlightenment and hope, I think Morgana would be drawn to it (and then they all get booked lmao)

Carmen's Palace. Just in general. If she even has one; it's not that her desires aren't distorted, it's that SHE IS THE DISTORTED/ING DESIRE INCARNATE-

Joker manages to capture an Abnormality as a Persona somehow. Shenanigans ensue.

Speaking of shenanigans, considering the way the mind manifests in The City, I wonder if the PT's guns would do that thing they do in Royal where they automatically reload after a fight. On that note, I feel like that trick would fail against higher level humans since their augments likely let them see past the fakeness

JOKER 👏 AND 👏 AKECHI 👏 GONE 👏ANGELS 👏 ANI 👏MATIC👏 YOU 👏 COWARDS 👏👏👏/lh

add more if you like, i would love to discuss further

YOU KNOW SOMETHING I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO?

There is always this stuff like "Inktober" were people with actual talent do one piece of art each day. But I always had problems looking for something like that for writers.

But now, I can do wathever I want on Tumblr [I think (?] and I feel very inspired on a written mood. So, I was thinking on using February [my birthday month] to start doing something that keeps my creative juice going. With a clear focus on Project Moon City and Outskirts

So, I'm making this for two reasons. First, if a person crazy with headcanons wants to join me on this journey. But also to decide about what to do it.

I accept suggestions <3

Angela from Lobotomy Corporation has BPD!

[could-transition-save-him]

Angela from Lobotomy Corporation/Library of Ruina

Reasoning:a song sung from Angela's perspective includes the line "inside the mirror do you see, someone else in that body?" with the music video showing him looking in the mirror and seeing his mom's reflection. his character arc involves defying what his parents and society as a whole expects from him to choose his own path. the first thing he did after escaping his parents' control was cutting his hair. is a robot(robots are just inherently trans), and spends most of library of ruina gradually changing into a human, with several characters' treatment of him over this highly resembling transphobia(eg. saying they can tell he's a machine no matter how hard he tries to act human, and later calling him a freak over his part-human, part-machine nature). look it wouldn't have saved him from the 1000000 year time loop nightmare facility any sooner but maybe he would've chosen a less destructive way of venting his frustration after escaping if he had testosterone.

Hello, hello! Quite happy to see you back, was getting a bit worried seeing you be inactive for so long! That aside I was curious what your thoughts would be on how the Sephirah would react to an employee teaching nothing there to shitpost!

These poor poor sephirah… And thank you for the concern! I assure you that even if I depart I am likely a-okay. This was a fun one, hope you enjoy

Sephirah Reacting to an Employee teaching Nothing There to Shitpost Headcanons:

Malkuth would be absolutely baffled upon hearing whatever ungodly things you taught this aleph to mutter. It’s enough to make even a workaholic like her freeze in her tracks with sheer confusion. Why.. Did you teach it to say that?? She imagined that an employee capable of repeatedly working with such dangerous abnormalities would be a bit more mature.. Her assumption was wrong. She might scold you a bit but I think she’s too fascinated with it to actually care too much. Usually she always has something to say.. But this? No words. Kind of thinks some of the bizarre things you taught it to say are funny but would never admit that because she does not want to tarnish her attempts at being the prime sephirah.

Lord, I think you would send Yesod into cardiac arrest. Probably calls for a meeting to figure out who’s responsible for this and chastises their immature behavior being unbefitting of a corporate employee. It depends on how good you are at keeping a poker face because his pure seriousness about this is absolutely priceless. You’d think he was yelling at you for kicking his dog or something. Sighs with a really stressed tone and probably utters something under his breath as the meeting ends. If you are found out you’re likely going to get a huge scolding and have to work overtime. It’s worth it though.

Hod is sort of nervous first and foremost because she is concerned about the safety and potential repercussions you can experience for training an abnormality in such a way. After seeing how much fun it is for you though she’d support it considering the place is usually so dark and dreary.. It’s a nice contrast to see some people enjoying themselves. Doesn’t understand half of the things the meat dog is saying, but over time you may find she is gradually developing a quiet sense of humor towards the stupid things you do.

Netzach helps you. He does not care at all for this place, let alone formality, so you can guarantee he’s probably making his own suggestions. Also finds it funny to see Yesod so distressed over this. He doesn’t really interact with the abnormality itself but he will cover for you if you need it, implying it's someone else or even taking the blame altogether just so you can get away with it. You two are a devious duo and there is an impending sense of dread whenever you are in the vicinity. This is pretty much the only time he puts effort into planning things out and it’s all for some dumb humor. Definitely have inside jokes.

Tiphereth is like Yesod but worse. Huffs about how she’s the child yet you keep acting like one, doesn’t get half of the things Nothing There says but immediately knows it’s something bad, and can always tell when you are plotting something. If you work in her department with the abnormality, she has on multiple times threatened to move you out, and has even gone through with it once. It somehow does not stop you. Stares at you with the intensity of 50 suns the moment you have the audacity to step in the slightest direction of Nothing There. She has scrounged every single part of the corporation’s terms and conditions to find some rule you’re violated, and made multiple reports on why you can not keep getting away with this. Only Yesod really agrees.

Chesed is thoroughly entertained by this. He may not outright participate like Netzach, but he silently encourages it by urging you to continue telling your stories. Most of the time he’s just sitting around doing work in his office so he’s not going to say no to something new. Doesn’t really take part in your scheming but always knows when something is done because of Tiphereth, it’s his alarm that you’re up to trouble. Has hosted you in his department to hide away from the others like a fugitive before.

Gebura hates abnormalities. She does not understand why you are doing this, especially when it poses an unnecessary threat to your own safety. Overall views abnos like Nothing There as detestable creatures incapable of domestic feats like training. That said, hearing it cuss out and insult employees ��even sephirah– at times is pretty funny. It says things that no man working there would ever have the courage to, and that bluntness is laughable at times. She believes that if you are going to mess around with it somehow then this is one of the least awful ways.

Hokma is too tired for this man. He’s old and too caught up in philosophical ramblings. Doesn’t necessarily tell you to stop, but if you bring it up he will turn it into what feels like a 4 hour session dissecting the implications that’s vaguely reminiscent of when grandparents go ‘back in my day’ and proceed to verbally produce an essay. You’ll be asleep by the time he’s finished and remind yourself to never directly approach him about it again. I think he would let you off easy because he totally would have thought about doing this when he was younger.

Binah’s reaction is completely incomprehensible. You’d think by the way she was staring you down with an ominous aura that she was unimpressed by your childish attempts at playing around. You couldn’t be more wrong. She is going to cease an opportunity to mess with people at any point, and will directly help you with getting Nothing There to shitpost. You think Netzach would plan things out? She has a full schedule that she presents to you to optimize the teaching process, carefully plotted out with graphs and condensed sheets of paper. You will figure out how to make it speak full sentences bordering on some revolutionary discovery all because it’s humorous. No one knows she is helping you because she is so good at keeping it hidden behind a neutral look on her face. No one would dare question Binah after all, not with her intimidating composure, which makes it so easy for her to take part (not even you initially thought she would go along with this). It’s a secret alliance between you two.

Headcanons I have that I’m not sure I’m gonna get a prompt for

The City’s “official language” is a form of Korean heavily changed by thousands of years of linguistic drift, that I like to call “City Korean.” Specifically Korean because Project Moon is a Korean company

Speaking of which, English has also been changed by linguistic drift! The “proper” form of it is taught in Nests, but people in other areas of the City know it as well for whatever reason; there’s multiple dialects and none of them resemble our English pronunciation-wise (nest dialects being closest to ours, and outskirts being furthest), but for whatever reason the spelling is much the same (maybe because it’s considered a dead language? Idk I’m an amateur linguistics enjoyer)

Yan’s eye color, whilst it does change from au to au, tends to be light blue or ice grey in my mind!

Netzach is nb. Nobody can change my mind.

X, whenever they’re actively involved in any aus I write, usually uses they/them! There have been exceptions to the rule, but they’re old enough and early enough into my delve into LCorp hell that I don’t really count those as “real” examples.

This is more a LOR HC: When Hokma was first given a human body back, he was completely ill-adjusted to it due to the 10,000 years of being quadrupedal.

⸸ F-01-57 (Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary) -- Base Headcanons ⸸

(Currently obsessed with her and Big Bad Wolf, help--)

"She is waiting for a contract as always. Waiting for the smell of fresh blood."

⸸ Initially, I thought Little Red got her scars from fighting for her life with the F-02-58. But then, I remembered that one of the tales had her being swallowed alive along with her grandmother.

⸸ Perhaps her disfigurement was caused by burns from the stomach acid. She had been inside it for so long that one of her eyes and most of her skin melted off, leaving her face looking like...well, this (warning: body horror).

⸸ Imagine being swallowed whole by someone as widely feared as the Big Bad Wolf of legends. It's already bad enough to be eaten and torn apart by wolves. But the horror of being trapped within such a dark and lonely place, unable to do anything but watch the bubbling acid rise and rise and rise...

⸸ Perhaps with a little bit of help and support, she might be able to live her life, and find peace. Unfortunately, this is Lobotomy Corporation. Her deep hatred is just the perfect fuel for a world as degenerate as this.

⸸ As to how Lobotomy Corporation found her, I like to imagine that she was actually caught by Agents sent to track down a supposed 'serial killer' that has been targeting random people. Random in the sense that there was nothing almost in common between them. The rich and poor, young and old, no one was spared.

⸸ She doesn't discriminate, anyone can be her target just as much as they are likely to be her contractor. She is a professional mercenary, after all.

⸸ Her only weakness? She doesn't care about the casualties she cause, and it was her unrestrained attacks that made her easier to find.

⸸ Being a WAW-class Abnormality, of course it was difficult to defeat her. However, the Agents had a trick up their sleeves.

⸸ They knew who she was, could tell it by the gaudy, ragged hood that was a vibrant shade of red. Suddenly, it became evident as to who she really wanted to kill.

⸸ Although L-Corp and Little Red didn't meet nor begin their partnership at the best of terms, she was still willing to cooperate with them.

⸸ It would be very difficult to make any sort of relationship with her asides from business partners. The last time she strayed off the path for someone she thought was trustworthy, this--all her mental baggage--happened. So, no. She won't accept any presents or attempt at bonding. Thank you and goodbye.

I mean, there has to be a reason why her Attachment work has been replaced with Request.

⸸ That being said, she doesn't mind chatting with the Agents and clerks. Just don't ever mention F-02-58.
