at this point i'm starting to feel a little bad for people who picked up the post-soviet mental illness simulator without knowing what they were getting into
#but the range of incorrect assumptions about this game is still hilarious#yes this is about disco elysium#tumblr screenshots

SHOUTOUT to everybody who is the hottest mess the world has ever seen, childhood polio survivors, lovers of disco, and everybody who wants to become one with their shitty couch forever but keep getting up in the morning anyway because you idolize the gay man you associate with the sunrise who not only tolerates you but treats you like your opinions matter

as far as literary criticism goes, i could not be less interested in deciding which characters we can call “terrible people.” i don’t see how people can think that is the main takeaway of a work of fiction, especially one that is invested in psychological and moral complexity

#my art#harry du bois#kim kitsuragi#disco elysium#disco elysium fanart#harrykim#kimharry#or whatever they're called#let this man have happiness or so help me#im a firm believer in harry getting a slow post-recovery glow up alright. it's the least i can do for the guy.#man i was listening to so many banger songs while making this#im still getting back in the flow of painting so most of my stuff is kinda messy still#but i suspect ill find a middle ground between this and my last piece style-wise#gearing up to drawing kim in all his glory too now that ive finished two different side profiles of him. only a matter of time now#also fun little fact. i drew over half of this (~4 ? hours) using just my finger on the trackpad of my laptop lol#sometimes it helps me to just put shapes and colors down. when ive got a pen i get too nitpicky about being perfect/using fancy techniques#sometimes all you need is. finger 🫶#OH!! i forgot to mention someone spotted it in the tags—yes this is based on that one leyendecker piece!!

when the characters call each other their “partner” as some sort of formality (detectives, business, agency, etc.) but it also has a double meaning/homoerotic undertones

If Harry’s tragedy is that he can’t go on like this but he has to, Kim’s tragedy is that he doesn’t have to go on like this but he will.
#disco elysium#Anyone about to write an essay on this wrt. Kim’s capacity for change: yes. That’s the problem.#Harry is stuck in the RCM because a lifetime of disability and a lack of outside support have rendered him unable to adapt#Kim is stuck in the RCM because hes too fucking adaptable. He copes too well with his adverse circumstances to recognise when he should dip#The cage is open the window is thrown wide he’s just built a nest in there and the cats don’t swat at it enough to make him want to leave#Anyway was thinking about this after someone posted about the no recruiting Kim ending. Sad for them! They need each other a little!#(Harry’s cage is also open but it’s suspended from a 60ft tree and he is a legless penguin)#(“You can just leave” onlookers call up to him “come down here. go hang out in the shack with the other flightless birds. It’ll be fine”)#(Not really accounting for how he’s supposed to get down there in the first place)

MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 2 - Psyche Skills
Part 1 - Part 3
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#disco elysium#MDZS disco elysium au#jiang cheng#jiang yanli#yu ziyuan#While it's more in vogue to draw a character's skill roster tailored to them -#One of the more subtle details I love in DE is how some of the skill portraits parallel character portraits of people hbd associates with.#Theres somethine rather poetic to be said about how other people shape out thoughts and sometimes act as a 'voice' in our head.#How we are in part a collection of impressions other people left behind on us.#I am a huge Skillhead (Those are my friends! My party members! They love me! They have their own agendas and alliances!)#so of course a healthy portion of this AU is dedicated to them <3#the Int skills go basically unchanged from DE. Psy as well (with changes to a few quirks in voice).#Fys skills though...well...wwx is in a different body! Those voices belong to Someone Else.#Esp electrochem (MXY in this AU also partied to near death. WWX is withdrawing and craving substances he's never even heard of before)#While I personally don't fully subscribe to Volition Jean I *do* see Volition Jiang Cheng. The voice of your Not Brother keeping you afloat#All three of these parallels make me unbelievably sad. They are also both purple. Art is like that sometimes.#Empathy Jiang Yanli...oh man do I have a lot of thoughts about her. Disco fans Who Know....you can probably see what I'm cooking.#Authority is a really interesting skill in DE because *yes* its about power and intimidation - but it's also about finesse and respect#Titus Hardie and YZY both abuse *and* finesse how they establish their authority - in a way that leaves quite an impression.#2 more mdzs disco posts that I *need* to create and then I'm off to working on raffles <3

it’s understandable to see folks saying pre-amnesia harry is a fixed character and your choices in the game can’t change who he was. but it’s also fascinatingly incorrect
when you talk to idiot doom spiral about your tequila sunset escapade, idiot doom spiral tells the story of that night slightly differently depending on what political leanings you’ve chosen, and what “copotype” you’ve adopted
I know it’s a small thing but I noticed it in game and immediately thought “oh it’s cool that the game changes who harry used to be based on how you play him now”
but other people seem really confident that there is only one pre-amnesia harry du bois so 🤔 idk what to make of that. it seems like there is a case for disagreement here
#disco elysium#disclaimer: yes I know all of the many things that aren’t changeable about him#i have read his wikipedia ok but this isn’t about that#this is about the suggestion that his pre-canon life can be read in more than one context#and the game actively encourages that? with this idiot doom spiral convo#like if you act like a communist now the game says pre-amnesia harry was a communist too etc

a peice of unintentional symbolism in DE fanworks that makes me actually physically sick is tragic characters smoking. like hnng theyre destorying their lungs, the part of the body that represents love and the self reflecting what they're doing to themself emotionally.
Expecially SHARING a ciggarette? destroying themselves together? fucking insane i cant breathe.
#apologies if this makes literally no sense i got like 3hrs of sleep last night#disco elysium#yes this is about jean vic#jeangst#jean vicquemare my beloved#jean vicquemare

I’m sorry!! I need to know… will you continue your relapse comic???
Yes 100 percent yes. If u have only seen it on tumblr check out my twitter (@emilyriordan5) where ive been updating more pages past what ive posted here. I had been doing a page a week or a page every 2 or 3 days depending on how impatient i got lol, but in the past few weeks i took a break from updating cus 1. Im visiting a friend in another country r now 2. My part time job upped my hours and i wanna prioritize that cus i need the scratch 3. The next few months im gonna be working very hard on some animation production projects to fix my portfolio up to apply for a fellowship (ill be posting the work i do on that btw) 4. The next few months I'll also probs be very preoccupied with figuring out some stuff for a medical thing. 5. Family stüff
Ill be posting more pages soon tho, i have some partially finished ones i intend to polish as im traveling back home. The comic itself is gonna be 60 pages or so (it may balloon out to like 70, i keep on finding stuff to add lol) script is complete, thumbnail are partially complete etc.
There's no way in hell im not finishing this, i love the script too much and i wanna share it in the optimal way as a lot of it is contingent on visual communication. If i ever do give up the ghost on this project id probably at least post the script so ppl would know where i was going with the comic, but my intention as of right now is to complete it at my own pace. I thank you for your patience and interest!
#if u had asked me 2 weeks ago about this i also probably would have told u this comic was gonna be my last disco thing#at least for a while#but ive just started scripting a sapphic disco zine#working title 'very futuristic: a girl-liker zine' (thnx lana)#yes its gonna be a little sweet and a little spicy#mostly started it to experiement w art subjecta i never delve into#also to study anatomy and pose/body interaction#that one's gonna be a long time coming tho (lol) big backburner thing#but yeah#disco elysium#asks
