#and overlooking the fact that he's a huge dweeb who finds Harry's antics so so funny so long as they aren't hurting anyone / fucking up

[discount-elysium]

the wonderful thing about writing disco elysium fic is that whenever I get stuck somewhere and then come back to the problem scene later, 99% of the time it turns out that my mistake was trying to make Harry too competent and put together, and my writing block is totally fixed as soon as I lean into him being a dumbass weirdo 💙

#like: is a scene just not progressing right? Has Harry spent the past five+ minutes in text making sense? well there's the issue #disco elysium #harry du bois #the other 1% of the time incidentally my problem is forgetting to let Kim be a smartass weirdo #it's so easy to fall into the trap that Kim's high Authority/Composure is designed to make you fall into #i.e. assuming that Kim is in fact here to be Competent and Normal #and overlooking the fact that he's a huge dweeb who finds Harry's antics so so funny so long as they aren't hurting anyone / fucking up #an active case #and in fact enables Harry's shit so long as it doesn't risk screwing up Kim's image/self image/pride #now 27k+ into my slowburn D/s AU incidentally
