Hoooo boy. It's finally finished. This only took me eight months to paint. T.T

Disco Elysium is soooo good y'all; I feel like I'll never give it the credit it deserves.

I'm not even sure it's finished, but I'm just going to set this down now, though.

Clip studio paint and a ton of downloaded watercolor and acrylic brushes.

Let me know if you want me to pull out any closeups or anything

Disco Elysium spoilers ahead.

One of the best things about Disco Elysium is the way in which it talks about having community, love, and support—or, perhaps more importantly, about not having it.

But you don't have to be alone. Not forever. Even we learn this, somewhere along the way. Take this interaction with The Pigs.

And then? What do we, a sad, lonely man, say to that?

I find myself thinking of our interaction with Tommy Le Homme…

… or even Idiot Doom Spiral.

What if you don’t have anyone, though? What if, rather than finding your way through your troubles, or making a family out of the people you have, you instead decide to turn away from the world?

That’s what happens with René.

It’s what happens with The Deserter too.

We see how that loneliness affected them. How it killed them, day by day. And how it doesn't have to be that way. How you can change.

This is a game about lonely people. Maybe one for lonely people too. And because of it, because of its community, we don't have to feel alone anymore.

Please take a moment to consider the following:

Karlach is an orphan.

Karlach can talk to birds (her default subclass gets 'speak with animals')

Karlach gets advantage on performance checks like singing and dancing (thanks thaumaturgy!)

Karlach... is a Disney princess.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula)

April 3, 2025

Southeastern Pennsylvania

I suspect this one is a female because I saw no trace of a ruby crown in any of my photos, although it is hidden in the males most of the time.

Also this is as close as they ever come to standing still.

Papa Arc: Tell me son, why are you so infatuated with this bird faunus girl?

Jaune: Oh you haven't heard dad?

Papa Arc: Heard what?

Jaune: It was my understanding that everyone had heard.

Papa Arc: Just tell me, what?

Jaune: You seriously haven't heard?

Papa Arc: Heard what?

Jaune: That the bird is the word.

Papa Arc: ...

Taiyang: You not only have my permission, but my blessing and my love, son.

A hummingbird flaps her wings so fast, they can hardly be seen.
