WIP Wednesday: The Elysium
2/21/24
Okay to be vulnerable for one moment, it has been what we in the biz call a "shit day." I cancelled my plans and came home right after work, and remembered that you all had asked for more writing. And I didn't want to, but I sat down, and suddenly, I had some writing and wanted to cry a bit less. So thank you for asking; it always means a lot, but this week it meant a little more.
ANYWAY!
Here's Elysium. I plan to add more religions here, but you know. I couldn't bring myself to do research tonight. @skarabrae-stone and @eriquin , I hope youlike it! I'm going to go chase my cat out of the sink now.
“What an ass.” She wrinkled her nose. “Kidnapped, ha! Like you could kidnap me.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? I’m Strong!��� I protested, flexing a bicep in what I hoped wasn’t a desperate way.
“Never mind,” Persie said, shaking her head at me. “No. We keep them. And we get whatever they need from that house, in person.”
I nodded. Of course, it would have been easier to Will their things here. But that could raise suspicion, especially if they needed anything large. Going in person would ensure we could modify small parts of memory to smooth over any issues…but Persephone wanted to go to look this person in the eye.
Now might be a good time, for legal reasons, to say something about godly boundaries. As a general rule, we leave the afterlife and “heaven” to appear as the relevant religious deity dictates. So a Catholic will see God or Satan, a Buddhist will be reincarnated, etc. Atheists often have a little more leeway, and us Greeks get a lot of them. We’ve become the shepherds of the non-religious. But in general, we stick to our believers or those who we take a personal interest in.
Sometimes, if we need to, we can make a small amount of our domain known. I have been able to since I was born, and when Persie became Queen, she was given certain parts of my domain. In this case, Persie wanted to look into this person’s eyes, because they would have to look into hers.
And they would see Hell.
They would see everything they think happens to “sinners.” They will see themselves in every nightmare imaginable. They will see eternity, burning, forever. And it would be so much at once, their brains will forget it, but they will remember the fear. They will remember, in their dreams.

i started playing Disco Elysium and last night (the same day i started playing) i woke up to my stomach hurting so bad that in my delirium i thought it had to do with something from the game.
and looked it up…
i thought this was completely normal until waking up later after the pain was gone.
#what was i on#disco elysium induced stomach pain#not a second thought#or a brain cell either#wow so harry du bois core…#disco elysium#harry du bois

I hope the "What if Disco Elysium was about a witch finding her cat in the mountains" post never leaves the gaming discourse vernacular. It will never not be funny to me bc it's got all the Gamer Entitlement™ levels of CoD bros throwing hissy fits about "woke" shit but instead of being couched in far right reactionism it's the exact kind of "Kingdom of Conscience" style liberal outrage at anything with conviction and beliefs that DE waxed on about. Like even chuds who get mad that the game calls you out for being racist interact with the themes of DE better and understand them more than Cat Lady did.
#just completely devoid of soul and belief and just wanting to fill the void with hollow comforts and kids books#disco elysium#gaming

the term "phasmid," meaning "stick insect," comes from a latin word meaning "apparition" or "phantom," due to the creatures' ability to hide in plain sight, and then move around and scare people.
the largest phasmids likely remain undiscovered; the longest insect known to science was a phasmid from a species that remains formally unnamed and undescribed, even since being captured for the first time in china in 2014.
a female specimen of the quasi-mythical australian species of gargantuan stick insect was sought by a curator of museum victoria for three years before he encountered one, also in 2014. upon realizing what it was, he says, “I started screaming."

are y'all hearing about this? apparently ZA/UM split up into three studios and they're all looking to make a disco elysium successor which they all announced on the same day
they're also all calling the others fake cashgrabs so who's to say which one is for real

WIP Wednesday: The Elysium
Okay so this is a little shorter, I may or may not be avoiding responsibility at work. But I work in a D&D/board game store at least it’s kinda on-brand.
This was asked for by @anyctibius @owlbearwrites and @eriquin, I also need you to know that I woke up last night with a revelation for the end of this story and I think it’s gonna be good. How get there? No idea.
Edit to add: mention of the the God Of Arepo comics from this lovely website, which can be found in a compilation at this website and on the original post!
I heard Persie’s sharp intake of breath. Mel stared at their hand, wide eyed. Any tired, nihilistic humor was gone - they were reeling, and I worried that shock might be taking over. I shook myself and forced my voice to address my brother.
“Well that about does it,” I said, Gently pulling Mel behind me, “right, brother?”
Zeus nodded, stepping back towards the far wall of the break room and putting his hands in his pockets. “The…event occurred just south of the Origin. The fields that used to belong to a minor god, what was his name…”
“Arepo?”
“That’s him. Anyway, the fields next to those. I hid the site, so that it wouldn’t be plowed over and such. I also took the liberty of adding a training room to your quarters up above, and I will bypass the mortality rule. The young hero is allowed up top.” He straightened his jacket, and clasped his hands. Lightning began to crackle again, and Mel covered their eyes. Even Persie turned away a bit. My brother looked at me, eye to eye.
“Call upon Hermes if you need anything. As of now, the alert is high.” And then, as the crackling rose and the room became blinding, he murmured, “Be careful, brother.”
