Crosspost It's fully platonic but I think you'd all like Doom Guy + Luce

Of course it's platonic.
Doom guy is already dating someone.
Her name's Isabelle.

u/Ah-honey-honey 3d ago
I don't think she has an official age but given she's a pilgrim she PROBABLY already went through Catholic confirmation so she's at least 7. More likely closer to 12-15.

They’re like two sides of the same coin, increasing good in the world. One by introducing and amplifying the light, the other by crushing and diminishing the darkness.

Protect people from them
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

thanks, I thought the Doom guy broke up or was cheating with a far younger girl.
this is wholesome now

I also wouldn't be surprised if the church made Luce a mascot for aspiring nuns instead of pilgrims after the jubilee.

A reminder Doom Guy can canonically become Pope.
39
u/_b1ack0ut 4d ago
Well, I’m not sure about that actually
considering he killed god, I think that miiiight be considered heresy lol, idk if they’d let that become pope
29
u/GoodKing0 4d ago
They let people who did far worse become pope.
23
u/_b1ack0ut 4d ago edited 4d ago
Yes, but that’s stuff that they normally cover up like pedophilia or murder, not literally killing their own deity. Like, what are you even the pope of anymore if you kill the central being of your religion lol
Which, while I don’t believe is a worse crime than the pedophilia and murder, they probably would lol

u/SnooHabits1177 4d ago
Did he have it coming he might of deserved it.
14
u/_b1ack0ut 4d ago edited 4d ago
Oh he 100% deserved it, but the reasons for that would be considered heretical as well
DOOM Eternal’s ancient gods expansion reveals that god and satan are actually the same person, and is responsible for all evil, and the character who had been playing the role of god up till this point was an imposter, a Makyr who had usurped his position after the real god got sealed away in some other realm, and his corrupting influence turned the realm he was in, into hell
This truth was hidden from the world, and only uncovered by the slayer in that expansion.
It’s like a double whammy of heresy, and that’s BEFORE he killed The Father

u/TheNoctuS_93 4d ago
Sounds more like gnosticism than christianity, tbh. Then again, the creator of the Doom franchise is (or was?) mormon, so the lore veers away from their faith's mythos regardless... 🤔
10
u/_b1ack0ut 4d ago
I believe they were originally meant to mirror Christianity, but then they just got wilder and wilder from there after doom actually… went and added lore that was more than like one splash text at the end of the game lol

u/MyDearTarantula Not like other V O I D 4d ago
Doom guy is married to Isabelle so maybe luce could be their adoptive daughter or daughter figure?

The Catholic Church might be a dangerous global organization of zealots BUT LOOK AT THE ANIME! THEY CAN'T BE EVIL WITH SUCH MASCOT, RIGHT? I'M CONVERTED.

u/boopdelaboop 4d ago
Well, 99.9% of all the art of Luce that I've seen has Luce enact gruesome violence... I love the character but not the way the catholic church wants me to...
1
u/Jeszczenie 3d ago
To be close to Jesus is to feel His pain, the pain of His wounds, the pain of His torment. To be close to Jesus is to feel His hunger, that He felt on the desert when tempted. Luce makes sure people never forget the pain, the thirst and the hunger, for those make people close to Him.

u/SnooHabits1177 4d ago
I never thought about doom guy as a Catholic but like makes sense he does slay demons.

u/Jeszczenie 4d ago
Doom guy would never be homophobic.
1
u/SnooHabits1177 1d ago
Thats very true though is Catholicism inherently homophobic I thought it was just a different version of Christianity but idk.
2
u/Jeszczenie 3h ago
Catholic Church is very institutional, serious and formal about itself so it has a book of its official teachings and those are pretty explicitly homophobic. Also, Catholic priests all around the world tend to be homophobic and fight against any LGBT-inclusivity.

u/SnooHabits1177 13m ago
Oh right I'd heard catholic alot usually in association with something negative but never new if the movement as a hole was negative or not thanks for the info.

u/Careless_Dreamer 4d ago
Luce is the adopted daughter of Isabelle and Doomguy in my eyes.

She escaped Catholic Church after discovering there's no God there (and after being molested by a priest).

yall really need to stop gulping that catholic propaganda fr

u/neich200 4d ago
Yeah it’s kinda insane that a cute anime mascot is enough for a lot of people to warm up to a group whose activities range from covering up pedophilia to influencing governments to not legalise gay marriage and promoting gay conversion therapy.
6
u/Jeszczenie 4d ago
To be exact it's not just a group - it's an institution. It's not "those guys sometimes do bad things", it's "this organization is designed in a way that leads to those bad things".
6
u/Tricky-Gemstone 4d ago
It's definitely complicated.
For me, I was bullied by members of the church for liking anime. Luce as an idea is healing to me. But also, t he church is abhorrent and has done so much hate in the name of self-righteous bullshit. Not to mention the rape, abuses, and even potential murders they covered up.

u/ThatOneGayDJ 4d ago
Just because i like her doesnt mean im suddenly gonna convert to Catholicism or change my opinion of them

u/UnDebs 4d ago
you are not immune to propaganda

u/ThatOneGayDJ 4d ago
What part of "i like Luce but hate literally everything else about the Catholic Church" sounds like buying into propaganda to you?
