Lieseil name theory

[havingfuniskey]

Heya so I wanted to make this quick; I thank you admins so much for making the website, as I now finally have a place that I can read to understand the full Bastards lore. Anyway, I was reading the page for Lieseil Inc. and found it interesting that you pointed out that Lieseil is a portumanteau of "Lies, lies", as I'd never noticed that before. I had, however, first noticed several months ago shortly after joining the fandom that "Lieseil" sounds and looks close to the words "Lies sell", which connects back to the idea that Lieseil is a manipulative corporation that aims to make a profit based off of distorting the truth and altering reality. Do you think this was intentional or just a coincidence? Looking forward to hearing peoples' thoughts!

I noticed this too - not the Lies sell one, but how the word Lieseil is a palindrome. Nothing but lies, backwards and forwards. It was probably intentional.

Thank you for posting! We think that both meanings of Lieseil are intentional, both giving clues to how the corporation of Lieseil Inc. functions. It is known that Lieseil manipulates citizens into doing their bidding, and we think that they use lies to further their brainwashing on their experiments.

Just posted about Lord of Lies but forgot to add this, maybe Lord of Lies is referring to Liesel, then?
