the rascal

@top10gooberos @titaniumistasti @FailsafeTiki2ki @ThalamusEnjoyer @kaiserdagnabbit Less so when people are rolling in the 20s to 40s. It's still something that puts vergilius higher, but base/coin power conditionals still are a much bigger factor when it comes to who rolls higher compared to offense level.

@therascal130 @titaniumistasti @FailsafeTiki2ki @ThalamusEnjoyer @kaiserdagnabbit 1 clash power is actually REALLY big

@therascal130 @titaniumistasti @FailsafeTiki2ki @ThalamusEnjoyer @kaiserdagnabbit Not exactly, the offense level difference does make Vergilius outroll Vespa quite heavily

@top10gooberos @titaniumistasti @FailsafeTiki2ki @ThalamusEnjoyer @kaiserdagnabbit That is true, but a lot of that comes down to ego, which vergilius did not use against valencina. The non ego rolls are not that much higher than vespa's (especially for the weaker skills)

@therascal130 @titaniumistasti @FailsafeTiki2ki @ThalamusEnjoyer @kaiserdagnabbit Vergilius is much stronger than Vespa, though I'm sure his rolls would stay the same against Vergilius

Power rankings for the Nursefathers seems something like this, right? 1. Rien = Matthias = Valencina 2. Shiomi 3. Callisto

@titaniumistasti @FailsafeTiki2ki @top10gooberos @ThalamusEnjoyer @kaiserdagnabbit You are forgetting the part where matthias is also fighting someone really strong. His rolls are as high as they would be if he was fighting vergilius.

@FailsafeTiki2ki @top10gooberos @ThalamusEnjoyer @therascal130 @kaiserdagnabbit valencina rolls high so she can keep up with verg, if verg was in the matthias fight matthias would unironically be rolling 50’s and 40’s to keep up

@rinacwy I would argue that gebura and binah very much did kill their employees directly. But yeah other than that in most cases they weren't directly doing it but there were still a fair few indirect deaths not involving abnos

@therascal130 just said it for agenda purpose, so i don't actually think he's innocent. But technically, he still just "order to gunned that employee down", so i dont think any of the sephirot killed their employees (directly), because the abnos is how they indirectly cause the deaths anyway.

The reason Yesod's old name is Gabriel (like the angel Gabriel) is because he's the kindest, purest person in PM and he has never done anything wrong.

@Methprof @anxie_teaa Presumably as long as you do it in a way that specifies that it is only towards that specific person. If not it could be seen as indirectly disrespecting someone who is a higher rank.

@anxie_teaa Does this imply that you're allowed to be as transphobic as you like if you're higher rank than someone

do you think they will kill you in the thumb for misgendering your superior

@rinacwy He did actually kill one of his employees. Yeah he had a good reason to and it was probably the correct thing to do but the claim that it was just the abnos that killed them is not true.

"but he killed guests and lead employees to die in the games" well he said he doesn't like it. Second, all the guests r now unbooked, and the L corp employees died because of abnos, he even try to prevent it. Also he do all of those because evil ayin, angela forced him

@DistortionLady absolutely

would you guys kill me if i made an envy res team

@necroblossom @them_failure Most people I saw trying to guess what matthias looked like actually got his skin tone pretty accurate. It's his facial expression that they got wrong.

@them_failure counterbalanced karmically by people trying to guess the designs and thus drawing regular human callisto or whitestuck matthias

I liked the weeks between the first teaser for Canto IX and the actual release where all the Nursefathers were drawn as blobs of red string like in the teaser

@63_ryy Something quite funny if you look closely is that she isn't actually dual wielding two swords, she is using the sword and its scabbard

bari being able to handle multiple weapons is very cool and all but the fact that she's a dual wielder makes me hooked up!!!! i love dual wielders!!!!! they're the coolest!!!!!

@GoldSebi This is probably the most likely intervallo to have a distortion in, even without the fact that we were directly told that there would be. The lcd are there, and it takes place in the same district that moses used to deal with distortions in

-we will seemingly already be in N Corp's nest, and a distortion running around there seems extremely unlikely

Some speculations We are still missing 2 Middle IDs (1 if you count Harpooneer Heathcliff, and even then Meursault needs a replacement) + Outis for the full team and there is no chance for Ricardo to happen for Midnight Sweeping Ricardo might honestly distort next intervallo due-

@dimandlostcarcs Physically strongest yeah, there isn't much doubt about that. The thing is, he mostly just relies on brute force and instinct, so a weaker opponent can still match or even beat him if they are more skilled (provided they are at least still strong enough to handle him a bit)

Next thread should probably be on why I think Matthias is the strongest Nursefather but I don't want to cause arguments and there's no way to ensure discussion stays polite.

@03_gimli @PMoonconfession Yeah. It's not like any of the remnants from when the story was going to be different are anything that ruin her current story. All of them can still be explained in a believable manner (some very easily)

@therascal130 @PMoonconfession Definitely, you put it better than me Anon is right as there were very clear revisions for her. For instance it seems they figured out that Rocinante should be suppressing her Bloodfiendness after Canto 3 Still, letting that ruin a Canto for you is strange

- Anon

@03_gimli @PMoonconfession It seemed like she was always planned to be a bloodfiend, since her base ego was still a blood lance and in a promotional image for her the shadow for the text was red rather than yellow. It's just that what they wanted to do with that part of her character was changed

@PMoonconfession I think the biggest thing for the Bloodfiend Don theory was the fact that her EGO Passive was changed in July 2023 iirc It was changed from a passive that gained Haste to one that healed when hitting an enemy with Bleed. Couple that with the EGO Art being the way it is and-

@RolandoFurioso6 @dimandlostcarcs It's worldbuilding because it shows that these are actual techniques that they have learned rather than them just doing whatever.

@dimandlostcarcs idk but I'm a big sucker for 'xx Art No. 1' skills like the WH butlers, I just think they're neat

I think Callisto has the coolest skill name in Canto 9 honestly. This one was really good but I never paid attention to it.

@vegvisirism Literally the one person I expected to absolutely be in the replies is unusually not here yet

someone has GOT to fuck faust

@BruhGeneral What we truly need, is another reindeer id

All in on standard fare Ryoshu

@dimandlostcarcs It's a good name certainly but canto 9 has a lot of those. This skill name has to contend with things like "Erasing me, erasing you", "Slay the heavens - tiansha", "Funeral for a dead bloodfiend" and several others

@troutblaster The thing is, they can be boots as well. Look at w corp don for example

also even though rocinante is an absolute necessity i do wish she could’ve had sora’s weird cunty thigh high boots too instead of them just being stockings. if it can turn from a horse to shoes it can turn from shoes to boots cmon now

if i had to give a Greatest Chop of All Time award to a donnie ID it’d have to go to her index one TBH. i just hate the sleeveless blouse + amazon basics skirt combo even if the cloak and chains look metal as fuck
