Disco Elysium & Language

Okay okay so a bit ago I (foolishly) decided to (poorly) translate all 200-something pages of A Sacred and Terrible Air, despite having zero experience with Estonian whatsoever (so, you know, take what I’m saying here with a huge grain of salt).

There’s a small thing that gets lost in the translation from Estonian to English, the object of my obsession: The Pale

Its original Estonian counterpart is ”halli” (which essentially functions as “the gray” [a part of a whole], as opposed to “hall”, which is just “gray” [a color]).  Hall and Pale are both used to describe the color of skin due to No Blood.  They have similar connotations & uses.

Easy-peasy.  Let’s look at the Chapter 15 title “Hallitus”.  Hey, that looks kinda familiar, I see a “halli” in there.

First we gotta backtrack.  Hallitus is just a noun derived from the verb hallitama.

Hallitama is built from “hall” (”gray”) plus -tama (suffix for making a noun in to a verb, generally means “to make”).  So, hallitama would (should?) literally mean “to make gray” or “graying”. BUT!  It actually means “to mold”.  Like an apple being coated in a gray fuzz, hallitama is “to mold / to go moldy”.  Oooh!

So “hallitus” means “moldy”.  But it also, sorta, means “grayed thing”/”pale’d thing”.

So, we have this word that’s used to describe all sorts of manner of withering, decaying, frail, or dead things.

I don’t know, it tickles the brain.

AU where it’s Camila who dies from the illness and Luz now has to deal with her DAD falling for Beardo Philip

Luz: HOW DO YOU GO FROM WATCHING OLD COSMIC FRONTIER EPISODES ON THE COUCH WITH HIM TO SITTING ON HIS LAP WHILE WATCHING THEM!?

Manny: (Lifts a finger to his lips and whispers while holding a hand near his mouth) Shh, shh! Not so loud, mija.

(He points his thumb in the direction of the kitchen, where Beardo Philip is making coffee for him.)

I already told you that that was a mere mistake.

Luz: (Mutters angrily and quietly) Mistake, huh? So you just accidentally slipped into his lap while sitting next to him.

Manny: Accidents happen, do they not?

Beardo Philip: (He comes out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and a smile on his face while wearing a t-shirt that says 'His favorite seat'.) Coffee's ready!

Luz: (The t-shirt causes her jaw to hang as she is shocked and appalled. With a frown and scrunched brows, she slowly looks at her father.)

Manny: (Taking his coffee cup, he gives his daughter an awkward smile before laughing nervously.)

Philip wasn't supposed to wear that around Luz.

I think Tumblr ate my last one so here.

Tis your sign to ramble to thine hearts content

I've been saving these until I have thought about something in particular to ramble about so get ready,

I am obsessed with the vibe of the Wright's being born performers. Before choosing to pursue law, Phoenix was an art student, implied to either be pursuing illustration or Shakespearian theater. I like to think that part of the appeal of criminal law for him was how dramatized everything was. It's more about weaving a story that connects all the dots provided for the evidence and witness statements than about, you know, knowledge of the law. It's about plot twists and last-minute saves and becoming the sturdy pillar for your client. Phoenix only chooses cases that are so wacky and hopeless that make for excellent stories. What I'm saying is that Phoenix lives for the drama and how the courtroom turns into a stage where he has to convince everyone else of the story he's piecing together that very moment. There's just something so theatric about yelling 'objection' and slamming the desk and making some improvised quips to taunt the guy you're arguing against.

I'm also of the opinion that the whole Beanix persona was originally intended to be more of a character that Phoenix put up to get Kristoph to believe that he had given up. It's clear that it was all about hiding his true thoughts and his identity from anyone who would recognize his spikey hair and wiggly eyebrows. He deliberately stopped wearing his iconic blue and general business casual getup and you cannot tell me that there wasn't so much thought into how he started to present himself. He's known for being highly saturated and spikey and generally pretty emotionally open so this character he built is the exact opposite of all those things and it's totally on purpose.

And just like Trucy, this character performance is a coping mechanism to keep themselves safe and seemingly confident. They both smile so convincingly and refuse to let anyone know if something is wrong. They're both manipulative but not out of malice, out of need for survival. They've both been on the wrong side of public opinion and in some capacity are aware that they're in the crosshairs of someone incredibly dangerous. They can only try to keep each other safe by playing into the act that they've worked on for years.

So sure they have to hide their true feelings under a quirky guise, but also I think they would join a community theater and be so good at it. They're in musicals together, I think Phoenix can sing, and he can sing well. He was in all his school plays and got so good at projecting his voice that they didn't even need to give him a mic (me core). That's what made him so good at objecting. I think that the ace attorney stage plays should be canon in the aa universe and Phoenix should play himself and he gets Trucy to play Pearl. He accidentally has so much homoerotic tension with the guy who plays Edgeworth that the real Edgeworth gets jealous.

Phoenix should also know about a lot of technical stuff that comes with theater, so he does a lot of the setup for lights and audio for Trucy's magic shows, he helps her move props around and should be so involved because I think that would be fun.

I also think he should know enough magic that she sometimes incorporates him into the act around their friends, so she makes a card disappear and Phoenix pulls the same one out of Edgeworth's ear. I love it when they're concerningly in sync and they can basically read each other's minds. They stare at each other and have fully silent conversations.

Finally finished reading this last night!!

I enjoyed Good Omens so much. It feels like it's been a while since I read a book that was willing to be silly and playful and not take itself too seriously, whilst still holding on to such earnestness and warmth at the heart of it. There's not a single solitary character in the story that I didn't either utterly adore or at least feel a vague fondness for.

Though I'm a bit sad that the adventure is over, there are some scenes that I could envision painting and posting at some future date on my art blog- so I still have that to look forward to. And, of course, the television series!

Would definitely recommend!

I have a headcanon that Kid Belos actually exists in Belos' mindscape. He created him so that he would not forget how he was before Caleb was kidnapped by a witch.

Belos can talk to Kid Belos at any time, and Kid Belos can tell him if someone has entered his mindscape. Due to the fact that Belos created Kid Belos, he does not have a normal Inner Belos. But he can dive into the mind by possessing Kid Belos.

When Hunter and Luz got into Belos' mindscape, Kid Belos told Belos about it and he asked him to play with them and show some paintings. Then Belos possesed him, set a trap for the Palismonster and did the rest. Kid Belos until the death of Belos was sure that he just played with interesting guys.

OOO, THIS HEADCANON IS SO GOOD!

*Eats it*

I LOVE PURPLE KID BELOS 💜 💜 💜 NOT AS MUCH AS THE REAL KID BELOS 🤎 🤎 🤎, BUT HE'S STILL SO CUTE AND CHAOTIC.

The idea of him being his own character instead of Belos in disguise and him knowing Belos (and possibly being buddies with him) is SO INTERESTING!

the cat from the courtyard next to ours (who regularly hangs out in our building even though she has an owner) is suddenly showing signs of something being not right in the brain. haven't seen her in a few weeks since i've been away so the change has been night and day. her head is stuck looking down/to the side at a strange angle. won't blink, doesn't meow (usually she's very vocal), skin and bones (as usual, i hear she's really old but still!), almost fell over several times while i pet her today. very unsteady. seems half out of it.

i immediately contacted the one neighbor i know who knows who the owner is, and asked about her well-being. then my next door neighbor texted me, saying she noticed the same behavior and wants me to contact the owner. so now i asked the dude who knows the owner to point blank ask them if they've taken her to the vet/are going to. the girl is not doing all right at all. it was terrifying to see. please take care of your cat.
