#not shit hdb would say

[shit-hdb-would-say]

Frequently go to search to find your page, and just type “shit Harry” so that it finds you. I now think when I open the app, “oooh I should Shit Harry, see what they’re up to”

it is an honor to be Shit Harry in your mind, thank you

[shit-hdb-would-say]

Ok, so, real talk, I'm not here to ruin people's day, but this blog is largely meant to be shit canon Harry would say - it's "shit-hdb-would-say," not "shit-hdb-would-say-if-he-was-doing-better-and-getting-help." Maybe he goes to therapy after the game, maybe he doesn't. But he definitely doesn't go to therapy during the game, and apparently hasn't been to therapy before the game either even though he's canonically been Like That for many years.

Also, it just seemed kind of mean-spirited to jump onto a post where OP was super clearly discussing their genuine mental health progress with no hint of irony and say "haha, that's just like my blorbo Guy With So Many Problems"

one time i told my therapist dalton that i had a hard time asking for help because i didn’t wanna feel like a burden and then he said, “asking for help doesn’t make you a burden to others. suffering in silence makes you a burden to yourself.”

which like felt kinda rude of him to say to begin with but then he came in with a metaphorical steel chair when he said, “your self-preservation skills would be impressive if they weren’t so incredibly unhealthy.”

that doesn’t even make the top ten list for Dalton Caused Revelations i’ve had. but i still think about it a lot and so im going to make you all think about it too

thinking about hdb while holding my head in my hands and suffering

[shit-hdb-would-say]

I feel like I'm a little biased, but yes, highly recommend. The plot and characters are very interesting and it has a lot of different themes about morality, recovery, politics, failure, and love. It is both incredibly funny at times as well as deeply compelling at other times. It's packed to the gills with subtext, symbolism, and social commentary, and the worldbuilding has absolutely no business going as hard as it does. Also, you get to be the silly detective man.

[diabolikpersonals]

I would like to hear your thoughts on the DF diaboys routes you have played at this point.

yessir!! under the cut:

Shu: Shu's DF route is an exercise in meeting him where he is. We know Shu loves his family, but we have to understand it isn't easy for him to show it. We're right at the precipice of a big change in Shu and Reiji's relationship, but we have to accept that acting the way Reiji wants him to just isn't what's best for Shu. Yui wants confirmation of Shu's affection for her, but she has to learn that he shows his affection in other ways. It's kind of like this route is showcasing Shu's flaws and you're going, "That's okay! I like Shu because he's Shu!" so I think it's sweet. Take your time, Shu! ...If I had to complain about this route, I'd say that we spend so long away from the other characters that it gets lonely. I guess that's the point, though...I just don't really find all the "hiding from everyone else" scenes very exciting after a while. We could've spoken to Reiji more, and I honestly feel like Shu and Reiji have bigger breakthroughs in other routes, so this one feels like it's missing a big scene with the Beatrix bros.

Ayato: If you had asked me when I had just played HDB and MB, I would have told you, "Never in a MILLION YEARS will I feel anything other than hatred for Cordelia," but well!!! Surprise!!! This one will make you feel things other than hatred for Cordelia, whether you like it or not. I truly understand how the triplets felt when they said they loved and hated her. The situation is too complicated for me to get into it very much here, but in short I'll say that I really liked the direction they took with the plot of this route, and I came out of it feeling like Ayato and Yui took a well-earned step forward. Absolutely loved this one. So proud of both of them. Whenever I play through the DF Sakamaki prologue, it makes me feel cruel if I don't pick Ayato's route lmao

Laito: If you are an angst lover like me then you will eat this shit up. It's an extremely bad time for every character involved. It hurt so good. I had to spend 70% of this route convincing Laito not to kill himself. In this route, Laito discovers a fact about his father that changes his outlook on his entire life, like every single thing about his life, and the performance that Daisuke Hirakawa gives is like.. It's pure art idk what to tell you. Reading this route is not good enough, you need the audio. I was scared, I wanted to cry, and as a triplet lover there were high points too, but my heart ached for the entire route, even through the good ending! I like that even the obligatory fanservice scenes don't let you forget how terrible the situation is! Strongly strongly strongly recommend

Yuma: Alas, I can only give you a super biased review of this one. It's my favorite route because it has so many good Shu/Yuma scenes. This route is our last bit of "Shu avoids Yuma and keeps secrets from him for his own good!" drama before Yuma finally gets the whole truth about his childhood. We get the cute flashback scenes, Yuma gets some awful nightmares and has some panic attacks, there's a little of everything! :D Even Zweig is there and he and Yuma are super cool, and if you know anything about Lost Eden then you know how hilarious that is. Anyway, this all culminates in THE YUMA BEST FRIEND MONOLOGUE which is one of my favorite dialovers scenes, period, because it makes me so happy. It feels soooo good to watch the arson recovery trio...recover from the arson. 10/10. Shuuma shippers, this one is required reading.

Carla: I'm definitely not shaming you if this route is to your taste, but it certainly wasn't to mine :') Most diaboys talk down to you, but Carla talks down to you to such a degree that I started getting offended over stuff I've never been offended about before. Like, "What do you mean you don't like the taste of my blood?! My blood is fucking delicious!" lol. I am not into all the forced pregnancy stuff, I am not into the demon racism stuff, I am not into how often Yui is reminded that she has no family and no one will come save her. I personally found Carla to be unbearable until he collapsed and started the process of dying. Then he got all sensitive and lonely and I was like "ok I can deal with him now." The ending isn't very satisfying either (What do you mean sucking Yui's blood will stop him from dying for now? He's been sucking her blood this whole time and his symptoms got way worse.) and Carla's blood sucking noises made me want to take my headphones off and throw them away (sorry toshiyuki morikawa I respect you so much toshiyuki morikawa) soooooooooo.........I didn't like it. I grew to like Carla around CL so don't be sad if you like him, ok? He's my friend now, but this route is still just unpleasant to me hgfghsdf

Shin: I know I said I hated the forced pregnancy talk and the demon racism plans and I did hate them, believe me, but Shin's route was successful in getting me to like him. I love that they put him in jail and beat the shit out of him, that was such a good scene and I really feel like my tastes are finally being represented lmao. Because it's his introductory route, he's pretty rough around the edges (true for every diaboy—everyone is a huge jerk in their introductory route) but there was still a lot to enjoy! The flashback scenes were fun (dare I say...he was...cute?!) and when put together with Carla's, the Tsukinamis have a super interesting story & dynamic together, and it fits the themes of dialovers really well. The differences with Carla's route, to me at least, are that Shin's scenes feel more like "playing with a diaboy" even when he gets mean, Shin has the added appeal of being teasable and of being a BIG FLUFFY DOG, and of course, Shin's blood sucking scenes didn't make me want to die. I'm clearly in the minority here, though, because Shin is at the bottom of every popularity poll I see lol...Anyway, it didn't make me LOSE MY SHIT like some other routes did, but I had fun playing this one!!

[falloutnewnobody]

do you think the characters from disco elysium would get along with the characters from pathologic

omg i have so many thoughts on this actually. i feel like daniil and harry would have the most insane beef. like, daniil hates harry's ass for the everything about him but feels obligated as a medical professional to try to help harry with *gestures vaugley at all of hdb* meanwhile harry is pissed that this random guy is speaking latin at him and stealing all his drugs, just to do those same drugs in front of him 20 miniutes later. they both would seriously benefit from a nap, a hug, and some hot soup though.

the student communists love daniil though. he ends up going to a few of their book club meetings to appease them despite the fact that he, while endeered by the students and likes talking politics with them, is not a communist.

i feel like kim and artemy would get along well enough but wouldn't really be friends. they have similar issues but i don't see either of them ackowledging that out loud. still, they definetly have a moment where they make eye contact and are like "this guy gets it. anyway,". theyd respect each other a lot though.

i feel like clara, cuno, and cunoesse would get up to the most insane mischief to literally everyone else's frustration. lilianne carter would def try to look after clara in a similar way she does for cuno though. i also see artemy trying to look after cuno like how he does with sticky and murky.

yulia and klaasje meet for brunch regularly and talk so much shit. everything they say to each other is predecated with a "can i be a bitch for a miniute?" yulia is also insanely down bad for ruby.

garte seriously dislikes the stamatin twins (in my head andrey takes over as bartender). and on that topic, andrey and the smoker on the balcony are friends who hooked up exactly once and then it never got acknowledged again.

apologies if this makes no sense and is wayyy too long

[everything-laito]

Corn, now that I realize Yui doesn't have Stockholm, since in the series, when she has the flashback of how the triplets kill Cordelia, she ran away saying she didn't want to be there anymore. Thanks for your attention.

Hi anon! I would have to disagree. Assuming you're talking about the anime since that exact scene happens, the anime is a very poor adaptation and representation of the games. She absolutely has stockholm syndrome in HDB with most, if not all of the boys, but at least with Laito. I wrote about that more in depth here!

In the anime, I don't really think she has Stockholm Syndrome even for Ayato which they pair her up with. Also, Stockhom Syndrome is a very very complex psychological response, not just a "oh if you're held hostage in a situation you'll fall in love with your captor." It's a survival response, it's your brain trying to figure out how to best keep yourself alive in a situation that's filled with trauma (similar to the fawning trauma response). It's still not fully understood either, and I can imagine that with any other trauma response, you can also have flashes of "reality," but I have not experienced Stockholm Syndrome before.

I was diagnosed with PTSD and CPTSD from different situations during my break, so I can also say from personal experience I did have those flashes of "oh shit this is actually really bad, I do need to get out of here" when I was in that traumatic situation that gave me my PTSD. (Also, just stating my own personal mental health experiences for more ethos and since DL and this blog helped me a lot with understanding my mental health and my more recent abusive situations! Not for pitty/attention--saying this cuz I might be doing it from time to time upon my return :))

Harry du Bois would say this.

i think my lungs and heart and brain stopped working a long time ago and what's happening now is just like what happens when people die and start twitching except im a little better at it

[shit-hdb-would-say]

[autistic-fuckwad]

I run shit-hdb-would-say and it's kind of ridiculous how many people have told me to kill myself because I've reblogged their post and commented "Harry du Bois would say this." like holy shit... it's just a gimmick blog... I'm not out here coming for your firstborn...

IT CAN BE

[sumire-bride]

What is the house where the Kanashi family lives like? Did Sumire ever have frightening experiences because of Cordelia's heart? How does Sumire feel about sacrificial brides?

{ Thanks sm for the ask anon :> Hope I answered this to ur liking}

[⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁𓇬⠁⠁⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠁⠁⠂]

{ The Kanashi's brothers plus Xaing lived pretty hectic when they all lived with Kyuufu, like they were loud n way more dysfunctional then they would be now 😭 Before Sumire it was js wayy worse, so when they all lived wit Kyuufu it was like a very painful silence to the point everyone js kinda lost it on each other constantly. }

{ But then Sumire was born, n her mother n all her brothers moved away from her n saw her three times or so a year, basically only got to see her whenever Kyuufu told them to. Wit js Kyuufu n Sumire, it was quiet n Kyuufu showed her up to zero attention some days then on other days he'd be like "spend ur whole day wit me", when it was Xaing n the brothers at the other home no one spoke to each other, n a lot of the brothers left. It was again painfully quiet n up to no one spoke to each other unless they needed to. When the entire family was together in the same house, it got a more chaotic. Xaing was more prone for out bursts everyone js got emotional. So the the aura of each place is a little different but in gen the family household is painful silence that's loud for no reason. }

{ She has sm scary experiences from Cordelia, Sumire through out her route has dreams, random flashbacks/memories of Cordelia, hears her voice. I've made it that when Sumire is near anything that could possible trigger Cordelia, her heart will beat in a really harmful way }

{ If I have to name one that really scared tf out of her, was when she had her first dream of her when she was in the Sakamaki's home. She was in a black room, n Cordelia was standing in front of her, when she looked up she had Sumire's face stitched onto her while she screamed n attacked Sumire ripping her chest open trying to take her heart "It's mine that heart is mine!" or sum shit like that, it scared Sumire sm that she woke up in full blown tears }

{ Sumire's very fearful, like she knows the heart isn't hers instead someone she doesn't know that's what scares her more she can not catch a break, through MB n the end of HDB Sumire n Cordelia are always js bitching to each other Sumire can not STAANND Cordelia she js wants her out of her body }

𖧷ɤ———ɤ𖧷

{ Sumire didn't really know what they were until later, Sumire can't exactly be considered one since she wasn't offered by any church so she got lucky in that defense }

{ When she does tho she's a bit unfazed- "Most normal info about the Sakamaki's I've ever heard." is her honest mindset- BUT in she says she wants to live for the passed on girls later in her route }

[shit-hdb-would-say]

it's getting harder and harder to find posts for this blog because all the truly HDB coded posters are either 4chan racists or they post about Balatro too much, and I don't want to follow them and see all that on my dash when I'm just looking for honest shitposts. so the queue is now 5x/day instead of 10x/day sorry lol

[shit-hdb-would-say]

this blog is awesome because every post is either a He Would Not Fucking Say That or something so accurate to his character that the fact you would even conceive of relating him to it means you understand Harry more than the writers themselves

Get you a detective who can do both 💅
