playing a game with myself called "inventing a man and scaring myself with it"
Note: Not all of these predictions are meant to be taken literally, more figuratively/metaphorically/so on. You get it.
Note 2: lighter the text, the more likely i think it is to be (in part or in full) true
ALSO. thank you @maxknightleyunofficial for the yuri box.
bingo transcribed below [with additional Author's notes!]:
Limbus Company Predictions
Row 1:
Sinner Number correlates to recruitment order. (Which, yes, would imply Dante joined LCB before Sinclair, Outis, and Gregor. No points)
Another character based on a poet (or philosopher) is introduced.
HM: Ovid SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meursault's source material is his backstory: he works for the LCB because they saved him from the death penalty
The E.G.O gear the Sinners are attuned to all corrode because the gear or their attunements are imperfect. As in: your LC nuggets got that good shit [because the LCB doesn't have Cogito & can't manufacture E.G.O gear: the Sinners have to "connect" to the Abnormality instead, however that works] / are better [than the LCB Sinners]
The psychosis warning is for multiple Cantos and/or side stories, but one of the Cantos needing that warning is Meursault's.
Row 2:
Sinclair goes tree mode. I will not explain any further.
Limbus Company wants to be the new L Corp, or at least be continually influencial to whoever takes the spot.
The Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; [it will be] a constant theme.
Dante cannot "eat" (the apple), and thus is not "doomed to die" like the Sinners.**
**The Sinners are named thus because they "partook" in the fruit: these moments, from blissful yet tormentous naivete to a sudden sinful upheaval, are highlighted in their Cantos. Gregor's was cutting the apple (crossing the boundary from child to war machine); Rodion's was killing the tax collector (her desire to be a hero completely upended by her actions leading to the deaths of all her neighbors); Sinclair's was following Kromer / letting her into his life (specifically allowing Kromer into his basement and witnessing The Horrors)...
**This could imply LCB as the serpent in the garden, but more than anything, Dante is Eve. [Iori could also be the serpent she's got the range. swagever. It'd be funny.]
HM: Or even worse, the opposite is true.
Sinners will get upgraded versions of their base E.G.Os;
These versions have relation to the shadows cast in their E.G.O portrait.
Ishmael's white whale is a Library of Ruina character.
Row 3:
Faust's Faustian Bargain is classically straightforward: she "sold her soul" for knowledge.
HM: The Devil in this exchange is the LCB.
Outis is in the middle of her years-long Odyssey as we speak.
HM: It's why she's one of the last Sinners
Purgatorio & Paradiso
Outis, Don Quixote, and Hong Lu are using fake names
Dante (prior to the events of the game) has been on the Outskirts of the City, or even left City limits.
HM: They're from outside the city
Row 4:
Gregor is an abnormality / abnormality-like; Hermann's "gift" to him is that. [Honestly he'd be one in the same way Tomerry is, but further than that? He's more than just a genetically modified soldier is what I'm trying to get at.]
Iori
^ HM: Lion, Panther, and Wolf were sent to Dante as a test. [Idk what kind of test it'd be. Trust me.]
At least one Sinner will Distort, and possibly multiple
Likely Hong Lu, Ryoshu, Rodion, Heathcliff, Faust, or Meursault. Don seems obvious.*
*Colors are likelihoods, not pairs. Though I don't see it likely that they all will distort UNLESS SOMETHING FUCKING HAPPENS
*ADDITIONAL hard mode (so hard it's mode): Meursault Distorted before joining Limbus
the golden boughs are the remnants of Carmen's body or essence / the byproduct of the Seed of Light. [That's NERVOUS SYSTEM, baybee!]
Dante goes to Paradiso alone / with only Vergilius (I forgot how it went :( idr if Dante Dante's Inferno went up there alone)
Row 5:
Something bad happened to Gregor's sister :(
HM: She's still alive. This is a bad thing. [Leaving my wording vague here on purpose.]
Marie (L'Étranger) is in the Blue Team (with Demian); Gretchen (Faust) is in the Red Team (with Hermann). Gretchen switches teams? [Honestly likely Faust hasn't encountered Gretchen either!]
There is yuri moments and maybe even yaoi moments (not Yuri)
SINCLAIR. Yi Sang, Outis, Ishmael, Meursault, Outis again, Hong Lu, HM: Outis Wife Penelope
Angela.
Dante knew Carmen

For the, what I'm calling, Arceus Creation Akari AU, Ingo needs to take Akari on her own journey of self discovery. He wants to see his Akari again, not the Panic and Depressed Akari that came reom her realization that she's a Clone of Champion Dawn.
Also, my idea is that Akari and/or Rei are from a Failed Platinum World, like the Failed Diamond and/or Pearl World, where Cyrus succeeded, with Akari and/or Rei being safe because of Arceus. But because of Cyrus using Giratina, that world dies and Arceus takes Akari and/or Rei to Hisui to start fresh, not counting on Ingo deciding that he will take Akari and/or Rei with them back home.
Ingo going on a journey with Akari is really sweet!!! Maybe Ingo, Emmet, and Akari go on a break from everything and travel around another region for a while. Emmet needs the break, he's been working both his and his brother's shifts for years and a vacation is long overdue. Ingo needs the time to acclimate to the new living conditions that he's just not used to anymore. Both perfectly valid excuses that won't make Akari feel like she's eating up their time worrying about her!
Because she will try to close herself off. She came to the future with Ingo under the assumption that she would eventually be reunited with her own family. She was not meant to be Ingo's responsibility, especially not in the long term. Ingo may have taken her in after the revelation that she doesn't "exist," but that might just because of obligation— after all, she brought him home, so maybe he feels like he has to put up with her, rather than truly wanting her around.
Going on a vacation and journeying around with her could potentially put her fears to rest, in that regard. Now it's just Ingo and Emmet trying to get her to understand something that might be a bit difficult for her; you don't need a purpose to live. Sometimes you just exist.
I want her to eventually get to that point where she realizes the only "purpose" she needs to have anymore is to love a lot and enjoy her life as she lives it.
In regards to the "failed platinum world," I find it really difficult to imagine simply because Cynthia... is perfectly capable of beating Cyrus' ass. It's actually kind of wild to think of but the protagonist in the DPP games wasn't necessarily needed to save the world, they just did it because they wanted to and they happened to be around.
Actually like. Shame on Cynthia and literally the entire Sinnoh league for leaving everything into the ten year old's hands, like wtf you could EASILY have handled that clusterfuck yourselves. What are you even doing.
