The brain inside is a circle of mirrors. You gotta put something in the middle for them to reflect, or else Watch Out.

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

Hiya! Would your newest fic make sense to me if I've never played Disco Elysium and don't know the characters? Or maybe a 10 min youtube overview would suffice? Thanks!

A good friend of mine is enjoying reading it, and she's only played about half an hour of Disco Elysium. But, then again, she's also had to put up with my obsession with the game for a while now. She also dipped out of Demonology pretty quickly, despite watching Good Omens, so... I am not sure what this tells us, if anything!

If you check it out, please do come back and let me know whether it works or not. I won't be offended, if you say it doesn't.

I've spent some time trying to find some good overview Youtubes for you, in case you want them. The game is so rich and multi-faceted, it's hard to find something that covers everything. Maybe here's a short list of things to check out:

--The Honest Game Trailer of Disco Elysium. Irreverent, as honest trailers always are, but pretty spot on. Makes the mistake of barely mentioning Kim Kitsuragi. About 4 minutes.

--Why Disco Elysium Is So Good, by dan. Gives a bit more insight into game mechanics and what is enjoyable about the game the first times you go through it. Accurately represents the importance of Kim Kitsuragi, but doesn't say enough about him. About 4 minutes.

--A Selfless Man in a Selfish World - The Importance of Kim Kitsuragi in Disco Elysium, by OwlBatross91. You need to know about Kim Kitsuragi, and this gives you that information. This also has some important spoilers, which are key for following my fic, and it accurately presents the emotional impact of those spoilery bits. Makes the mistake of idolizing Kim Kitsuragi, which is very understandable. About 9 minutes.

--There's a third character that's key to my fic (and the game, of course, although he doesn't have much screen time). It's hard to find as much about him. But here's a compilation of some of his lines in the game, which does a lot to tell you what role he plays. 3 minutes, but you'll get the idea after about thirty seconds. Not exactly the most flattering light for him.

If other people have good suggestions for short overviews of Disco Elysium, please do share.

I named my current fic SugerPop Psychodrama, because I am Clever and Smart like that. I'm only on the second chapter, and already the spelling is getting on my nerves.

favorite word?

Refunfuñar.

The Disco Elysium fic is really good! I read it, then immediately had to read it again! I love how you describe the POV character getting Human Can Opened.

Oh, yay! Thank you! I anticipate the next chapter will be out on Sunday.

The Can Opening was incredibly fun to write. Harry has really intense Main Character Energy, and I'm getting a kick out of setting him against a POV character who's got equally intense NPC Energy.

Which post broke containment?

This one! The poll about someone removing your glasses for you.

The results are satisfying. It's good to know that other people touching your glasses is as big a No for a lot of people as it is for me.

Here, I made a thing. It's not great, but I made it.

You know what my profile pic is? It's a cardboard rhinoceros that I painted orange. I bought it in 2016, sometime in November.

If you've never read or seen Rhinoceros, by Ionesco, I recommend doing so. It's useful to know what you're in for, when the rhinoceroses show up.

I've had a post breach containment. First time this has happened to me.

I wasn't prepared.
