[falled-over]

its true he just comes to you in your moment of need

#i was playing the game and then i had to make dinner #i remember seeing posts about this phenomenon before even playing the game... it inspired me i had to know him #it was so funny i was not trying to think of him at all and his voice actor just appeared in my head doing my secondary narration thing #you know what i mean. when youre doing something so you have a little conversation in your head. #its been like years since ive had a character narrate it for me. the speech pattern is even my best impression of him #dont play video game for hours #disco elysium #kim kitsuragi

You have to understand. I don't "ship" Harry with the smoker on the balcony, I think whatever they have going on canonically is way funnier and touching than anything anyone could come up with.

There is so much within the dynamic itself. It’s a middle aged man and a younger man who are nothing alike and everything like each other. It’s the smoker being the person that kickstarts Harry’s sexuality journey anew, seeing Harry’s fascination with him and being amused by it because (aside from Harry being probably the first man in a while who’s managed to leave him dumbfounded in a positive way) the smoker *knows* what’s happening in Harry’s mind and as he puts it, it’s beautiful.

Don't get me wrong, the mutual attraction is there. The smoker flirts with Harry every other two lines (girl why the fuck are you flirting with a cop you're insane. I'm obsessed with you) yet makes fun of him in the same breath while Harry is absolutely clueless the whole time because he's too busy staring at his abs. Couldn't come up with anything funnier if I tried.

I love this high drama check, this is exaclty what it feels like to speak to clueless boomers who have no idea what they're talking about. Still, once Harry admits that he might be part of the "underground" as he puts it, the smoker is immediately excited and encourages him to think about it. It's very sweet.

(I know everyone has probably seen this dialogue 100 times by now but I love the phrasing here. literally twink_boutta_pounce.jpeg)

And as a side note I really like this emphaty check in response to Harry's little breakdown after the failed suggestion check the first time you meet him. The smoker like damn he just like me fr.

I don't think more smoker interactions were needed at all or that they would ever talk again post-game but it's interesting to think about what other converations they could have, even just so we could learn a bit more about him. They both have an interest in art. They're both stuck in a place they can't leave if they wanted to and yet find beauty in it, they both have regrets about past relationships. They both find talking with the other a charming experience in a way or another. If I want to be indulgent, they both could benefit from learning about what being gay means for a younger/older generation, especially since they both have such different life experiences with their identities.

It's all fanfic talk, and obviously no cops at pride and so on but their interactions did make me think about community and recognition through the other. A flirt for the sake of a flirt, a “maybe in another lifetime” but this lifetime is good too because they did meet and leave an impression on each other before parting ways. That's *beautiful* too.

#disco elysium #smoker on the balcony #harry du bois #they can boink too if you want them to I support you. honestly good for them #but overall I do think about the greater scope of their dynamic it's just. it's nice. #de meta #don't know where else to put this other observation but it's fun to look at how the smoker is framed from Harry's POV #I can't give specific examples bc it's basically all over the pov narration when talking to him #but it feels very femme fatale in a noir detective novel. it’s very refreshing to see that portrayed as a twink idk. I liked that detail #I mean you could argue that klassje is more of the femme fatale of the game and I’d agree with you #but harry’s bi he can have two of them. as a treat

guess whos playing disco elysium

#disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #i knew id like this game and ive been saving it for month for when i have the braincells for it #then i finished my dishonored playthru and finally gave in #love that i have enough knowledge of political theory to understand the quality and depth of the dialogue and narration #its very rewarding in that sense #my art #illustration

Finished the disco game so i had to draw some of my favourite Kim moments. This was supposed to be a half hour sketch and then 3.5 hours passed and it was 2 am oh well.

Wip and ID under the cut.

[ID: A horizontal page full of sketches and finished drawings of gay icons Harry du Bois and Kim Kitsuragi. Two drawings are just black and white sketches of Harry and Kim's faces. The rest is brightly coloured. The art style is clean, cute and comic-like.

On the first drawing Kim is taking off Harry's red sun glasses. He says: "No" with 3 "N"s because that what he talks like, the madman. Harry looks confused. He probably liked the shades.

The next drawing is Kim calling out: "A gym teacher? I knew it!!" He looks a bit manic, like the mistery of Harry's fitness weighed heavily on him.

The next drawing is of the two sitting on swings. Harry is wearing the mesh top with the ugly tie and the Frittte raincoat. Also he's wearing high boots. Kim is in his usual outift. While Harry is sitting with his legs spread and his hands gripping the ties of the swing, Kim is resting his right foot on his left knee, gripping his ankle with both hands. He is just too cool to sit like a straight person. He is whisteling while Harry looks at him in amazement. There's a tear in his right eye and he has two plusses above his head, indicating that the whisling is healing him.

The next drawing is Kim hiding his laugh and mocking Harry by quoting him: "‘He smells good!‘" Harry looks at him in confusion, his hands raised, palms up, to show he doesn‘t get it. "Yeah?", he asks. He's wearing a dirty wife beater, a read bow tie and a police coat, by the way. It's a grand combo.

There's another drawing next to this one that can be read as part of the previous one. It is just Kim laughing. That's it. Two plusses are appearing above my head as i'm writing this.

The last drawing is Kim standing with his hands in his jacket pockets. He looks angry. Weirdly he also looks a bit like a teenager from an 80ies anime in this. But that's not important. He says: "I went undercover as a pinball pro." A speach bubble from outside the page asks: "A what?"

There is another page which is the work in progress. It's exactly the same but only the line art. /End ID]

#drew him laughing bc i couldn't help myself #disco elysium #de #kim kitsuragi #harry du bois #my art #i once misread the disco elysium and harry du bois tag as disco boys #so now i'm making it a tag i guess #disco boys #when i read the ID to check for spelling mistakes i heard it in the disco elysium narrator voice

[mihotose]

every time i see a fanwork where half light tells harry to kill himself im just He would not fucking say that!!!!! half light is harry's paranoia, his fight or flight instinct, his self preservation. half light wants to protect harry, not kill him

#gemitus #just did a quick search on fayde and none of the skills ever tell harry to kill himself #in fact multiple advise him on how to Not get himself killed. you know. because theyre part of him and thatd be counterintuitive #the only times harry tells himself to kill himself are in a YOU - dialogue option #and the ledger. when you interact with things the narration isnt any one particular skill so thats probably just harry himself #anyway. i do love the suicide jokes dont get me wrong it just wouldnt be half light (or the others) #disco elysium

JOYCE MESSIER: Can you tell me what your relationship with Lieutenant Kitsuragi is?

DRAMA [Challenging - Failure]: You must be completely candid with her, sire. Tell her this exactly: I'm Lieutenant Kitsuragi's right hand arm. Man. I'm Lieutenant Kitsuragi everything. I'm his confidante. His best friend. His silly rabbit.

JOYCE MESSIER: His what?

YOU: His silly rabbit.

JOYCE MESSIER: His silly rabbit?

YOU: Yes.

JOYCE MESSIER: Is that what he calls you?

LOGIC: No.

#literally once i thought 'harry would say all this abt kim' it was like 'thought gained: silly rabbit' & for the next 24 hours in the back #of my mind i was mulling over how to get this conversation to happen & how to fudge it so narrator says this rather than harry #my magnum opus of audio shitposts #de #disco elysium #harry du bois #joyce messier #kimharry #ig lol???? #texticles

[wizardhatwithacowboybrim]

saw this funny drawing challenge going around where you draw characters from your three most recent games so i tried my hand at it :)

Six and Harry would have the time of their lives in a karaoke night together

disco elysium written in the brothers karamazov style and the brothers karamazov written in disco elysium style

#disco elysium #the brothers karamazov #DMITRI: - “Look at me‚ look closely: right here‚ do you see‚ right here a horrible dishonor is being prepared.” #PERCEPTION (Easy: Success): - As he says “right here‚” your brother strikes himself on the chest with his fist‚ and with such a strange look #CONCEPTUALISATION (Medium: Failure): - He is speaking of his heart. #i was originally planning to keep the original line in which the narrator correctly guesses mitja is pointing at a literal place (a pocket) #but during the trial aleksei says he initially thought dmitri metaphorically speaking of his heart so that's a failed check for him

[lyannnar]

If i had a nickel for every time i hyperfixated over a game with an ominous narrator who speaks to the protagonist directly and encouraged the protagonist to drink from an abandoned bottle of alcoholic beverage i'd have two nickels

which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

#disco elysium #reverse 1999 #lenval brown my beloved #no but these deep voiced narrators are doing things to me #i love it #also both games have political themes but they're not as prominent in r1999 #what is this genre of narrator #i need to know #for a friend #totally not for personal reasons

[yesicanbelieveitsnotbutter]

in most rpgs with "blank slate" protagonists, the main characters become more and more like you/the character you want them to be as you play.

in disco elysium, YOU (the Player) become Harrier Du Bois.

if you know, you know. i wish i could elaborate.

#disco elysium #harry du bois #its like your thrown into this guy's brain right #so you literally start thinking like him #just think about how many of us fucking love kim okay #think about it #he's a narrator so unrelible and yet so charismatic that we are all played by his charms #he's so wet and stinky and the longer you play the easier it is to Be Him yknow???
