top 3 Noid quotes that go hard

[malicocks]

honestly i love how his suspicions can be interpreted as nationalistic; it makes him into such a paradoxal and interesting character! it's a good thing he's both so damn anti-authoritarian and anti-racist or else he might've gotten at least a foot into fascism. he's probably one of the best-written characters in the game, i think

[bakubakunyanyaa]

WOAH!! CHURCH KIDS!! and titus is there too i guess

that's all for now, but all the little guys ive posted are gonna drop as stickers soon :D

Act like a they/them look like a she/her smoke like a he/him party like a xe/xyr

[disco-archetypes]

YOU - "Is there such a thing as *Ubi Dolorianism* or did I just make that up?"

NOID - "Good catch, Art Cop." He crosses his arms. "The herdsmen of the Ubi Sunt? islands came here on the first boats. Their flowery version of Dolorianism could be what we're standing in."

ENCYCLOPEDIA - The Ubi are known for their partiality to socialism and sheep. They come from an island called Ubi Sunt?, drifting in the pale off the coast of Vesper. It's the only place in the world that has a question mark in its name. Things are not well there: It's an island of poverty and entroponetic collapse.

wait I haven't noticed this before, but the next world mural is in line with Noid's ideology

"True love is only possible only in the next world - for new people it is too late for us. Wreak havoc on the middle class"

Noid - "In the true life of tomorrow, every woman will be an innocence.

Noid - "A life is true if it's free from fear and internal division among oneself. And others -- mankind has seeds of greatness in it. A germinal will come, a return to trueness. It will be hard core."

Noid - "Have you been listening to what Egg's been saying? Love is *hard core* man, and a mother's love is the hardest core of all..." Noid - "Well, they *loved* her. They put all their love in her and forgot all about the rest of us."

Which reminds me:

Fuck the World - "I can answer that. Many men keep searching for *the one*. For so-called true love, which is actually just obsession masquerading as kinship. The thrill of the chase, the hollowness that fills your chest cavity after catching it." (...) one must think of a way to fuck the whole world -- and not get caught up in fucking some *one*."

(The church quest is full of Scooter references and Fuck here sounds like he's quoting the first line of How much is the fish?: The chase is better than the catch - it's all connected lol)

True love is only possible in the next world/ true life of tomorrow where all women are innocences!

And I think this is all in line with Chernyshevsky's views about nihilism which has been discussed in this post

The line about fucking the whole world instead of putting all your love into one person also makes me think of a love that is not about thinking that you own your monogamous partner, but a more free kind of love that is present in Chernysevsky's book

Also, I feel like there are different versions of nihilism in Elysium, for example Zigi's father in Sacred and Terrible Air is a nihilist, but he says St Miro's nihilism isn't real nihilism, and it's a disappointment. So I'm not saying Noid is the same as Zigi, who wants the whole world to just disappear. Piss and Fuck seem to be also more into what Noid is talking about. Then there is Esteban and Hulio from Full Core State Nihilist (story on Martin Luiga's Medium set in Elysium) who are edgelords just fucking around (? I'm still not sure what their deal is)

[weepylucifer]

Noid's real name is Karl Holtzmann??? That's so fucking funny. He's a carpenter and his name is just "wood man"

disco furlysium. sorry.

[ID: A Disco Elysium fancomic featuring Kim Kitsuragi and Harry Du Bois portrayed as cartoony animal people. Kim is a black cat and Harry is a brown dog. Panel One: Kim and Harry are standing next to one another. Harry is holding a flashlight. Panel Two: Harry turns on the flashlight, and Kim leaps for the beam of light that results with a wide-eyed expression. Panel Three: The flashlight has been turned off. Kim is on the floor with a defeated expression, and Harry looks at him with a neutral expression.

A Disco Elysium fancomic featuring Kim Kitsuragi and Harry Du Bois portrayed as cartoony animal people. Kim is a black cat and Harry is a brown dog. Panel One: Kim, smiling, holds a hand up for an Ace's High. Panel Two: Kim, still smiling, waits for Harry to reciprocate. Harry looks at Kim's hand with some confusion. Panel Three: Accompanied alongside text that reads: "Thought Gained: Ace's High(?)", Harry leans his head over so he can be pet. He is smiling and his tail is wagging. Kim's expression has gone from smiling to confused.

Andre is smiling and waving, Noid has a thoughtful closed-eyes expression, and Egg Head is cheering in the back. Tiago, as a cat, is in the rafters. Soona Luukanen-Kilde, as a rabbit, is at her radiocomputer with an annoyed expression.

They let me out of my cage again, in account of decent behavior :) so i got to do some digital painting practice :D

[mrtequilasunset]

Everyone always leaves out acele when they're talking about a speedfreak polycule and I've had frankly enough of it they're literally all dating her

[disco-archetypes]

NOID - The speedfreak eyes you with a curious blend of awe and contempt.

EMPATHY - He's torn. There's nothing more *soft core* than the Coalition, according to his worldview, and yet, having summoned an aerostatic with your voice is one of the most *hard core* feats imaginable...
