    I just discovered the video only goes up to 480p and am baffled by that fact lmao
    I could have sworn I set it to 1080p during exporting. With the video having *kinda* taken off a little bit now that there's people outside my friend group here in these comments, I think that's an L I just have to take. I will take care of this with the next one.
    EDIT: How have we hit 10k views already? Insanity. I expected this rushed video to nicely start the channel and get my name out before the first *proper* video, but 10k already?! I'm frankly astounded and incredibly grateful.

    Hard to predict anything when you compare heathcliff from the game, a guy who despite being broken into nothing rebuilds himself and ends up caring for his co-workers, to heathcliff from the book… ifykyk

      Especially since Erlking was the closest to book Heathcliff and ⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ just straight up hollow purple'd him as an effect of erasing all ⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️.

      to make this make alot more sense its theorised that a handful of the limbus WH cast are mixed with their WH children namely heathcliff + hareton and edgar + linton which explains limbus heathcliff’s more positive development mirroring that of hareton’s

    One important thing I need to mention, the name Miguel on Don’s coat was changed in a recent update, so take it’s canonicity into question
    A few thoughts:
    Given how weighted the term “mirror” is in both Limbus (mirror world) and vampire mythos (no reflection), my guess is that the Knight of Mirrors is going to be the one who forces Don to see her other self.
    That scene in the trailer of the character with the giant scissors telling Don to enter La-Mancha land to save people from Bloodfiends is probably an adaptation of the scene where the Barber tries to convince Don to stay in La-Mancha
    In MOTWE, Casetti calls Sasha his squire. Given that book Don calls Sancho his squire, Sancho could very well be Don’s kindred.

      Sancho being Don's Kindred would also recontextualize her EGO - La Sangre De Sancho - from just a Blood Spear, to a Blood Spear made by recalling the blood consumed from Sancho and forging it into a Blood Weapon, simillarly to how Casetti forged his Halberd out of the Bloodbags and Kindred that failed to Beat the shit out of the Sinners

    19:13 btw this was corrected not some time ago and in the patch notes (Miguel now replaced with Don Quixote) PM labeled is an outdated sprite meaning that they probably had some idea for this first version of the story, made the sprite, but then scrapped it, though there might be a slight chance this sprite might be reused depending on how Canto 7 will end

    I fine that that PM doesn't just super size the story but add it relevant stories to and concepts related to story.
    In for example Wuthing Heights not just being a romance novel but have explicable supernatural events happening through it. Erlking Heathcliff is just as much of devil Heathcliff is called throughout the book. being in command of wild hunt a supernatural force on the British isles.
    As such who is to say La Mancha land isn't a literal dream that must end for Don to move on with her life.
    Also do keep in mind that LCB has been facing off increasingly more dangerous enemies through out their journey having a Bloodfiend isn't likely going to be enough especially post Seed of Light.

    I'm betting here that Sancho is her first bloodbag turned into a weapon
    The shoes are possibly made by the one character who made Cassetti's mask to seal Don's bloodfiend nature in order to fit in better with humanity.
    The other chance here is that Sancho is Don's first kindred who she then uses to put her in her dream state so that she can be a noble fixer unlike her true self while he runs La Mancha land so that humanity can coexist with bloodfiends. Not clear where this could go, but that's a hunch.
    Regardless the ending might shape up to a full on boss fight against Don where the players play as Sanson or as his role from the original story as that was the only way to get him to return home and be cured. I'm pretty certain it'll have something to do with that Cinq association guy near the halfway point, but we'll see.

    Our Don is casually committing identity theft, with her actually being Sancho, and the real Don Quixote is the reason for the appearance of La Mancha Land, and is trapped on the windmill and pierced by the golden Bough, and with the Barber Outis Uptie Story, it seems that the barber, priest and Princess/Dulcinea, tricked and trapped the real don.

      @@LimbusCompanyLiteraryAnalysis I understand the feeling of not covering this book. The few other books I’ve read felt like a cakewalk compared to this. Unfortunately or fortunately, I had the 1100 around pages version. My personal issue was my poor memory of the names (it has a lot of them, I can say like 20 names from my memory and it isn’t half of them) and my lack of knowledge of chinese folklore. At the last page a taoist says “ In truth the whole story was a lie, neither the author, transcriber nor the reader know it. It is a joke written for fun!” This quote worked as a medicine but also as salt to my injury, which was inflicted upon me from reading the last 200 pages that crushed my heart…

    Just a thought with not much basis at all. What if Don is masquerading like this because of something that happened to sancho? Maybe he/she was a servant or close bloodfiend friend that happened to get killed due to the way bloodfiends are seen as threats? Thats why sancho is in the ego name, its one of the personal reasons she's masquerading as a human. Only got this idea due to the cure theory video I've seen before this. Not a theory guy so this is probably wrong.
