#discworld elysium

[higgsbison]

What exactly do the stats (we've encountered thus far) in Discworld Elysium do, or what are their Disco Elysium counterparts?

apart from the "what it says on the tin" ones

BOOTS - art of cobble-reading and proceeding

OL' STONEFACE - class war skill

WATCHMAN - combined knowledge and instincts from decades on the job

QUIS CUSTODIET - second and third thoughts, self checks and balances

DIPLOMACY - a more recent skill, brute-forced into existence by years of being Vetinari's angriest promotion target and funniest ambassador option

KNURD - you can imagine what this one does

[yushauwu]

I think Kim and Carrot hit it off??

Discworld Elysium is bringing me a lot of joy at the moment, so I made a quick portrait

[burningarchitecture]

@higgsbison 's discworld elysium made me read the watch series and now I'm obsessed so I had draw something related to this crossover (?). This is what I imagine a (kind of) de-styled Vetinari portrait would look like.

We are looking for a high ranking, fictional policeman:

He's a recovering alcoholic

He's got a very intimate relationship with his city(-state)

Lots of political pondering and action on said pondering

Recently partnered with a straightman type character

The fabric of his native reality is untypically flimsy

Weirdly critical of the system he upholds

The story he's introduced in has him confront a creature previously thought to be a mere lehend

ENCYCLOPEDIA [Trivial: Success] - His Grace, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel "Sam" Vimes is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series...

THE BLACK RIBBONERS!! 🎗🧛🏻

[idkaguyorsomething]

Kidnappings, murders, crime rings, there’s all kinds of crimes for the boys to solve, even if this next case of theirs is gonna take them a bit out of their district.

¡Reblog and explain where you sent them and why in the tags!

The way slurs are censored in Disco Elysium reminds me of this gem from Mort.

Who wraps up the others' case better:

*Vimes and Carrot solving THE HANGED MAN

*Harry and Kim figuring out the Gonne murders in Men at Arms

Equipment is changed to match the time period. Which drunk mess/upstanding-officer duo comes out on top

^moist von lipwig has harry dubois-syndrome by his own admission

[ancient-tree-with-deathwish]

i want - no, i NEED a crossover between disco elysium and discworld's night watch.

i need to see Harry being a guyfailure in a city that is equally as unhinged as he is.

i need to see Vimes, Carrot and Vetinari somehow fix another equally doomed city.

i need to see how the metaphysics of discworld and disco elysium mix (and what eldritch consequences result).

[pocchi-poket]

I just got to the part in Disco elysium where Joyce's tells you the world is pretty much disc-shaped and that "elysium" basically means "world". As a great fan of sir Terry Pratchett, who noticed there is a kind of overlap in the fandoms of Disco Elysium and Discworld, are you seriously telling me that "Disco Elysium" literally means "Discworld"???

[stackofsnakes]

The trope "amazing detective, damaged person", is so pervasive in the crime genre, it's hard to think of fictional detectives any other way. Monk might take the crown here. Sherlock Holmes is an addict, Bones' parents disappeared when she was a child, Kate Beckett's mom was murdered, Jessica Jones, at least in the Netflix series, was enslaved by Kilgrave, Sam Vimes is an ex-alcooholic, Batman lost his parents, half the cast of Criminal Minds are fighting with serious personal histories or get put through seriously traumatizing situations over the course of the show, Harry du Bois is in the midst of unravelling as a result of a traumatic break-up and a long struggle with alcohol and drugs.

It's a trope that happens especially often in more contemporary crime media and with detectives with some sort of gimmick or genius abilities.

In comes Shawn Spencer, whose tragic backstory is a shitty relationship with his dad.
