Snippet to a bigger thing I'm still working out. More character study post second Requiem campaign

-

Earth.

Not home to him, but safe, or it was supposed to be.

Australia was directly below his orbit, half obscured by clouds. Swirls of white with deep blues uncovered by invisible winds. The land mass half covered in the sprawling grays of progress and parking lots. It wasn't enough to block his scanners, but he'd be told to sit tight and wait.

He hated waiting. Everything seemed different now. Last time he was here, Roland was brand new, eager to get started and ready to jump headfirst into a mission with his new assignment. His new home. The UNSC Infinity, was now his cage floating above Sydney, HIGHCOM Bravo-6, where his captain and commander were being debriefed after the debacle that was the Requiem campaign. Sit and wait, oh how it ate at him when recently all he had been doing was running for their lives. Faster and faster, more and more, pouring on the engines and calculations to pull them from the fire. Less than a month ago they had arrived at the Forerunner shield world, and then it seemed like everything had gone wrong.

It was only March. Less than 72 hours ago, he and his entire crew were almost pulled into a dying star. He wasn't even 4 full months into service yet! What was going to happen? Was he going to lose his home? Lose his captain? Were they going to take the Infinity away from him or him from her? It was hard not to worry, especially since it was HIGHCOM and especially since the override code had unraveled him at a critical point of the campaign. Halsey had gotten her hooks into him, and now she was gone and he was a potential liability.

The last time he was this worried was the trial. Iona. Her fate. The precedence she set forth, and his role as her advocate at the end of her life and the beginning of his.

That felt a lifetime ago, but it had stuck with him. Hard not to, what with having perfect recall and nigh infinite memory and all. What if they audited him? Black Box would be kind, maybe, if he was given the mercy of a peer review. Brand new AI, Forerunner engines, destroyed Forerunner planet, missing evil scientist; he didn't have a lot going in his favor other than he was ready to be pulled off the shelf at the right time and that replacing him would be very, very expensive.

4 weeks ago he'd been excited to let loose and show what he could do, 6 weeks ago, with Iona's trial, he'd been worried but hopeful, 13 weeks ago he'd been ecstatic, new to this world and all of its intricacies and wonder. So much information, so much to do and see! Now with 351 potential weeks remaining, several parts of him worry at the paths that will be taken from him. There's only so much time. A week is an eon and a blink of an eye to his kind.

Fifth generation Volitional AIs were supposed to be top of the line, but what would happen because of this newly revealed weakness? Halsey had tricks that left them vulnerable during the attack. He'd lost crew and been helpless against the tempest of Forerunner influence and the debilitating override.

Watched Meti not the bad guy's video on roland from ruina

*DO NOT WATCH the video until you FINISH LIBRARY OF RUINA as it contains extreamly major spoilers*

and it reminding me of many beats of the game (and even telling me new things since i havent read the original orlando story and not every single piece of side text from these games) and my final conclusion is library of ruina is currently the best piece of media i have ever engaged with

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #There are many amazing storys i have played and they all are still amazing in their own right but for me the story of roland and this game #has resonated enough that it can be my number 1 best piece of media for now. while something like yi sangs tale from limbus hit me more #emotionally at the time rolands just feels more complete due to all the building he got #i wrote this fresh after finishing the video so the feelings are fresh in my mind and might even change even if ruina does fall down #from my number 1 it is still a piece of media worth checking out especially following its prequel lobotomy corp #video really reminding me why i fell in love with this series and universe #also they pointed out roland probs fights like dmc combo mad videos and thats hard as hell

[boltlightning]

i finished temeraire and man. what a journey. highly recommend if you enjoy 1) repressed officers with strong hearts who are like fathers to their men 2) english propriety stretched to its extreme 3) discussions of what doing good costs 4) tangible societal change for the better in spite of this 5) incredible platonic relationships developing naturally over time and, of course, 6) big cool dragons who are also your best friends and get into really cool fights. please read these books

#maybe stop after book 5. but i had fun with all them despite my qualms #jane roland...i will cherish you always #her convo with laurence in her fancy house with excidium snoozing nearby...worth the whole series #bolt reads things

silly break doodle I hc Yesod's schedule is very busy - when he is worried or getting obsessed with a project he will not stop unless someone forces him to

Roland gets mad about it cause he cares :,)

#library of ruina #roland #yesod #rolsod #I MADE A TYPO - repost #i think many of the librarians are similar - they're dedicated and probably don't have a good work life balance #doesn't help they were revived in their workplace by their boss functionally probably #shout out to many coworkers i've seen voluntarily work overtime for no extra pay - don't fucking do that it's not worth it

[just-a-girl-with-a-pistol]

#library of ruina #limbus company #project moon #roland lor #limbus company ego #look at him stealing all of the forth match flame egos #hes so beloved i love roland so much i will implode #my beloved skrunkly #hes so gorgeous #ok no i need to dip #need to study a but for the love of fuck #biophysics is killing me slowly #go drink some tea its worth it in the end

also award for maybe only now registering that jeremy's bway vimh pants have the zippers along the ankles for more tapering/fittedness like now hell fuckin yeah

#bmc #and hefting will roland overhead for whatever was the process of him chanting hello kitty shoes Hello Kitty Shoes til it happened lol #character with some shoes so specific they may be difficult to get ahold of; & which is 500% worth it #sure still remember the first glimpse of those shoes was a glimpse of will onstage but not otherwise in costume #so just assuming they were his lol like right on....then eventually learning like oh my god bway vimh jeremy hello kitty shoes Yes #opposite process of [jared's teal sneakers were just will's own specific shoes & other jareds's tend to be a bluer blue] #now having processed the zipper detail taking a closer look at other things like ah i think i can spot such agleam linearity....

Do i need any sort of background knowledge/required reads about Limbus Company to read Leviathan?

Limbus Company? Not at all, given that Limbus is pretty much a direct follow-up sequel to Vergilius's story in Leviathan (Limbus references Leviathan at multiple places as hints/asides, but not much else besides that.)

You WILL unfortunately need to know what the heck Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina are all about, though, since Leviathan takes place after those two games. The world that Leviathan and the others takes place in is a unique world that centers in a special collection of city districts called Wings that center within one large City, and how each district is headed by their own unique corporation that provides certain benefits to the populace (think Hunger Games but its SCP and also A LOT WORSE). Several specific events/characters/HUGE SPOILERS from Library of Ruina are mentioned/shown/tied directly to the events of Leviathan, so I would invest in playing the games or just checking out a summary video of both games to get the general understanding of things like why Vergilius knowing some guy named Roland is like a Big Deal.

As far as things go, you can still read Leviathan without knowing TOO much, but I admit that I was a bit lost at places since I don't know Ruina that well, and the story itself has intentional vagueness at places that make you feel lost...but I still had a good time and I really enjoyed the in-depth exploration of Vergilius as a character surviving in that sort of cruel world. (Alas, the last several chapters have not been officially translated, and so machine translation is like ???? at times I'M STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THINGS.)

There's also a really good fan-put-together encyclopedia on Project Moon lore/terms here if you want to check it out!

#friday and her nonsense #leviathan #project moon lore is So Much but its worth it i think #library of ruina especially is very fun...roland my beloved.....

If they do a Dark Tower live action series

Please keep Idris, he deserves a good Roland

Oooh I would love that! He killed it as Roland & it's not his fault the movie sucked. He was the best part of the whole movie!!

#i want a live action dark tower so badddd #but the more i think about it #the more scared i get about how it would actually turn out #i think i trust mike flanagan though #he seems to be very passionate about capturing the spirit of the novels #i freaking love idris elba as roland tho #him and jake make that movie worth watching #the scene where they go to the hospital kills me every time

[soup-for-ghosts]

onto chapter 15 of tristrat… I will finish this game if it’s the death of me but ouch owie ow what the heck

#(spoilers) things finally started looking up and then they made me pick between those three accursed strategies #I considered going for frederica’s at first but based on the info I got it didn’t seem like a good idea #there was NO way I was going with benedict’s so I ended up going with roland’s… #bestie please the pursuit of vengeance is not worth it!! #I hope avlora is alive but I doubt it #this is the most stressed I’ve ever been playing a video game I think I never wanna make another decision ever again #taking a break for the night because my head needs it- too much thinking #calc rambles #calc gaming

[haveihitanerve]

#me posting #idiot #now look at ya. dying in ur car bc of the pain #my fucking god the pain #dude is it possible to be above a 10 on the pain scale #i cant #i have to. remind myself that my worth as a person ≠ my worth as a worker. #even tho i shouldve seen it coming #roland's neverending cosmic joke
