calling harry a “can opener” was SUCH a good play for so many reasons i think about it every day.

in the context of his work, it makes him a tool. as many people have pointed out, including martin luiga, part of the hdb tragedy is that he simply cannot leave the force, and his superiors know that and are using it to their advantage. no matter what happens, even if harry hated every nanosecond of every bit of the work and wanted to leave, he can’t and won’t leave. they can leverage anything they want against him and then reel him back in with a facade of kindness when they “allow” him to keep his job, as long as he does what they want him to. the 41st knows he has this inexplicable talent with people and they use him for it. he’s a cop: that talent can be used in so many awful ways, to push so many different agendas. and they won’t even be his own. a can opener has no particular desire to open a can, aside from maybe the satisfaction of fulfilling a purpose. a can opener has no agency, it’s just a tool for someone else to use to get what they want. and he’s learned to be okay with being used as long as it means he gets to stay. his complacency with this system makes him guilty even if he’s also being harmed by it.

but in the context of his personal life you kind of... flip it. the people around him are going to be opened up whether they want to be or not, and it’s terrible for his relationships. it’s shown that the questions, the prying- the can-opening- it’s become inextricable from who he is as a person. it’s like he doesn’t know how else to communicate, except it’s hardly communication when you’re just ripping people open. he’s invasive as all hell, although whether he means to be is debatable. he’s the kind of person that wants to take things apart to see what makes them tick. he dissects people, but really that’s too delicate of a word for what he does; if he doesn’t get what he wants right up front, he’ll abandon all subtlety and go for brute force. if he can’t get your screws loose he’ll just smash you on the ground and pick through your pieces until he’s satisfied, and if what he did to you isn’t fixable? oh well, there are other cans to open. 

and he’ll use it for personal gain: we already know he is (was?) manipulative. once he knows how you operate, he knows how to make you keep him. he can yell or he can cry; he can threaten you or he can threaten himself; he can be completely suffocating or he can withdraw completely; he can be an incorrigible liar or brutally honest; he can present himself as a threat or a joke or a talent. he’s a chimera- that’s why he’s got this inexplicable magnetism, even when people know they shouldn’t like or trust him. fidelity of character means nothing to him. he’ll be whatever he needs to be as long as it gets him what he wants. the can-opening is just his way in.

#disco elysium #harry du bois #and it works on us the audience as well! #look at how many different versions of harry there are out there. each tailored to our individual preferences #we exaggerate and minimize his traits according to what we want to see. he's can-opening us too! #it's just like. of course his job will frame the can opening as a positive thing #but it's honestly one of his worst traits. or at least it is when he doesn't keep it in check #there's nothing wrong with wanting to understand people but the way he goes about it is harmful to everyone including himself #he's doing it because he has ulterior motives like 99.999998% of the time #this is mostly about pre-martinaise harry but i have no doubts that post-martinaise harry can go right back to this btw #a lot of us prefer to think of harry as drastically improving after martinaise which is great and i'd like to hope he does but. #it's also good to consider the overwhelming possibility that he will go right back to being a total shithead #and that may be completely unintentionally! which almost makes it worse! #ALSO. this is part of why kim makes a very good foil #for the most part kim will stonewall anything he doesn't feel like sharing #harry needs to respect boundaries and by god does kim have a lot of those (affectionate) #HOWEVER kim is definitely susceptible to the can opening as well #wait okay i have another post idea. #anyway thanks for reading. as always feel free to add and share thoughts! #kiwipost #hdb meta

So one thing I've always loved about uni/studying/learning new things is when you have different subjects or different tiny dots of knowledge and slowly, as you learn more and more, those tiny splashes of knowledge are becoming less isolated, and you realize that it's all connected and - at least with my subjects being in the humanities - you sort of “unlock” this new perspective on a certain aspect of the human condition. And like, that's fun enough and - if I'm being honest - probably my favorite thing about studying already as it is, BUT NOW, now that I've finally gotten back into writing as a hobby this is just ANOTHER dimension for me to expand that knowledge into and to use that knowledge for. And I am absolutely living for it. So happy to be back on my bullshit and so happy to be at a place in my life where these two passions of mine fit so seamlessly together and one passion benefits from the other and vice versa

#god I love that I get to do this #to be less vague: I am taking this course (and a lecture as well) on the aesthetic and philosophy of night darkness dream and imagination #and like that is already SO up my alley you don't even know #but besides getting to learn about the influence of those themes on literature of the 19th century now I also get to practice it you know? #I mean I've always had this fascination for and this... predilection to write about vampires or ghosts or “dark” themes like that #and I just continue to do that now but like???? ugh idk I feel so? /seen/ when I learn about the way people used to do that and still do an #that it's something so... essentially human to be interested in? #which of course technically I knew bcs we have all this media abt these themes. but something about learning /why/ we enjoy these themes an #/why/ there is somehing so very cathartic about engaging with them? something so freeing and so subversive about doing it? #like I love learning things that make me understand myself and my motivations more deeply. also on a creative level #and idk... this is all probably a very jumbled mess but I wanted to share my joy with you in case anyone read up to this point <3 #simon.out. #yes this is about the potential wilmon vampire fic I am plotting out rn and yes I am going to be absolutely unbearable about it #vampire wilmon

a kakairu and asuma/kurenai fanfic from the point of view of sakura and ino acting as rival matchmakers attempting to get their frankly pathetic lovelorn jounin-senseis to confess to their crushes

also there’s a lot of their teammates being all “lol you’re friends” (or, well, naruto and chouji being all “lol you’re friends” whilst sasuke and shikamaru are more [acts like they’re above asinine ninja drama but they absolutely are not at all above asinine ninja drama]) while they are all “no??!? die??!?” even as their friendship rekindles stronger than before

#naruto #kakairu #asuma/kurenai #(if anyone knows the tag for that ship please tell me) #haruno sakura #yamanaka ino #feel free to use this idea if you like. I might use it as well but we’ll see #if I do I’ll probably set it in my world of darkness au because of Course I have one of those #and because it features werewolf Sakura and that needs to be shared #also I don’t ship ino and Sakura but if you do feel free to add that in because this idea is ripe for that I think

Throwing my hat in the relationship chart ring. 1bit/beat charts credit to @//likesaly and @///silvercrane14, if this bothers either of you please let me know so I can delete it!

1bit relationship spaghetti breakdown:

Platonic

Romantic

Familial

Negative

#Also feel free to ask for elaboration on anything #pieceofcake.txt #Saying Koza is related to the cats is weird but I didn't want to put “pseudo-familial” for Merue and Shitsuna so whatever #adoptive family is family(cats count) #Replaced the close friends line with respect but in hindsight 'friends' could range anywhere from besties to #spoke a couple of times and got along pretty well. Oh well #the 1bit one in particular's timeline is wonky because I don't think a lot of these characters would know each other /during/ 1bit but that #it also leaves out a lot of relationships that would have formed by the timeskip/relationships that would've developed and changed by then #Was tempted to add the main characters to the 1beat chart but(if my 1bit chart wasn't apparent enough) I'm very flippant about how #I want the main character relationships to go #There wouldn't be much change tbh. More of them would be friends maybe. #I did say Izuchi was familiar with the Blue Sun trio to an extent but I lied #which is to say I forgot that they said Blue Sun College of Music and not just a general college #Going to run with it having other branches in the area so maybe he's /heard/ of them or has even watched them perform before #But they're not like schoolmates or anything #I kind of want Sora to be friends with the cats because he shares a va with one of them but I have no idea what circumstances #would lead to them meeting #Also intrapersonal relationships between the fatcats but I haven't decided on those #Got a little too silly with the ''dislike'' lines for Sora and just ended up opting to remove them entirely #they're there in spirit though

one thing i like to do is recreating my ocs in every sims game i own

i am nothing if not consistent

#my sims #the sims 2 #the sims 3 #the sims 4 #show us your sims #eh might as well share it in the hashtags lol #clearly i play the sims 4 the most #i mean i literally make cc for it sometimes #sims 3 was my first game #yes i have played the sims since 2009 yet i still feel like a newbie next to all of yall who somehow have been around since the sims 1 days #i was a toddler then. my dad would never #my parents actually followed those age ratings :^) #sims 3 came out when i was 13 and had recently gotten to play sims 2 at a friend's house and was like I NEED SIMS and then sims 3 showed up #i didn't actually get the sims 2 for myself until 2014 with the free ultimate edition ghdjfg #sims 2 is good i like it!! mostly for the gameplay. i'm playing a legacy there now #i still haven't gotten to try the sims 1 yet #but i want to #and when i do #i will make my ocs there as well #because i can #i WILL figure out how to make custom heads and bodies for that game so i can have my boys #and i'm rambling in the tags bye

some more miniopolis builds!!

Second Looks Thrift Emporium - King Tower - Jail

+ bonus first draft for a miniopolis .s4c terrain!

#ts2 #urbz #I'd consider myself a pretty amateur sims 2 builder #so if anyone has any feedback/suggestions feel free to share! #there's two big things that i haven't quite figured out yet #1. technically two things on King Tower. The offices look weird spatially & the back windows are inconsistent #2. miniopolis is constructed REALLY dense and it doesn't match well with the sims 2 + simcity 4 grid system #those road loops? can only be 3x3 or 1x1. 1x1 is too small to do much of anything 3x3 is too big for a lot of buildings #i also need to figure out where all the sims would be living and what they would be living in #sooo that either means that i have to build a lot of lots or i have to go searching for the perfect lots for the sims #not a big deal but i'm not completely sure where good places to find sims 2 lots are lmao

trying to branch out! trying to connect with others! I am not scared!

#just dmed a coworker bc he posted on his insta story about wanting to play dnd but never having a dm #and so he was like ‘bro if someone wants to rn a campaign Sunday or Monday evening?’ #and I was like no way in hell could I dm bc I have not played nearly enough #but like. he’s really chill and like. if he needs other players??? #idk I feel bad bc I wasn’t like. dming him to offer to dm (direct messaging as the former dungeon master as the latter. for clarification) #but also if he’s trying to get a group together? I’m free those days we’re close in age and share some interests #and we get along well at work #so like I feel like I wouldn’t stand out too much in a group of people he knows #he’s gay and trans too so like. you know the group would be queer #maybe I’ll try to convince him to start a work campaign. maybe someone on staff would want to dm #I wish I wasn’t so busy and such a stressed person and had more experience #bc if I felt like I could dm and could really do a good job of it I would offer! #but I just don’t think I would #idk now I’m just rambling #I feel stressed but I also don’t do anything besides school and work so I need to find smth to do

I remembered I had made a top of my favourite Gabe scenes a very long time and thought it would work very well in a video format, so here it comes!

#Elena of Avalor #Gabriel Nunez #Gabe Nunez #My video #I've got a content-making mood so I'm suspiciously active now #Anyway feel free to share your favourites if you want! #This video is almost an entire embodiment of that super old post except I replaced one scene #I added Gabe's promotion to general because this scene has been growing so much on me #I mean I always loved it and I literally squealed when I watched it for the first time but somehow I'm even softer to it now #The way his eyes sparkle as he's listening to Elena he's just so happy #and his parents are there for him #even Roberto!!! #They're so proud of him 😭 #and Elena is too! #And me aksjnskfkkd #Honestly I love many many Gabe's scenes but those ones just hit me emotionally #(well except for the 10th position I just love sassy Gabe lol) #And all the scenes illustrating his bravery just deserve their own video calling #'Gabe being damn selfless hero for I don't know how many minutes straight' #It reminds me I wanted to make a compilation of Gabe's body language bc I noticed he makes that 'pfft' sound #and crosses his arms across his chest way too often #He also rubs his neck/back of his head when he feels uncertain or awkward #(This is probably natural for everyone but I didn't notice other characters doing it often) #This is absolutely random but he also held his palm (like his whole palm) on his hip at least two times and it made him look very fancy lol #But I'll probably never make it because those are very minor things and honestly it's kinda weird akusndkfk #Anyway returning to the video Gabe is just such a good person I can't #And yeah about that ‘pfft’ sound to be fair he doesn’t make it way too often and I’m pretty sure it was only in season 1 #but I memorized it so it still was often lol #Gabe was a sassy eighteen years old guy

I have no idea who follows me here uses Dreamwidth but I made a space for all my icons on there.

I'm also doing a personal icon making project where I make icons for each episode of Kamen Rider Gotchard as it airs, as a way to get icon making practice in.

(No I have no hard rules for myself there, it's just an excuse to make some icons.)

#I know a few mutuals who also use DW who do but thats about it #anyways this will be a fun challenge and thought it would be worth sharing here #Feel free to use them on tumblr if you want with credit! #but I don't know just how well those icons will work on here given they are 100x100 #but if you use dreamwidth or anything that still uses 100x100 icons they're good for that too #linky posts
