I think there's no greater indication that disco elysium is sympathetic towards communism when it literally says "communism is failure" and then the literal gameplay itself rewards trying and failing. The most obvious one being the Shivers check at the FELD mural, which is an Impossible 20 check BUT opens itself up again and again the longer you spend in the world doing things, but even just looking at sheer probabilities, for any given white check, rolling first and THEN putting a point into that skill upon failure is more likely to grant you success than putting a point first and then rolling, but that would require failing first.

Other things too: Precarious world saying you'll 100% fail red checks no matter what (not necessarily a bad thing, btw!! throwing the boule into the sea is a success but like. in some other ways one would want a perfect petanque throw instead. but people wouldn't typically assume that failure is desirable sometimes from the start) persuading you to accept that you'll fail some things that is irrevocable, for a world where everything is just a tiny bit easier.

The faux game over screen when you faint after reading Dora's letter— emulating a sense of failure on the scale of the entire game. When it rolls up most people go "What?? Game over?? No way, what did I do wrong!!" and waking up after that, with no huge or lasting impact on Harry's health or morale really tells the player, "Sometimes things will seem so bad that it all seems like it's coming to an end, but it's not the end, it's really not the end, go drink so water, you can still go on despite this failure"

I'm sure there are other things as well that are eluding me but like. The literal gameplay rewards failing and succeeding far more so than simply succeeding every single time, and I think you get a fuller experience of Elysium that way too

#just thinking thoughts...#disco elysium #idk man when did we get so scared of failing!!#people never want to speak in class because 'what if I'm wrong :((('#well then you are wrong... that is okay... it's normal to fail... sometimes saying the wrong thing is a great way to jumpstart a topic...#'getting a good grade in X is both normal to want and possible to achieve'#okay sure but have you made peace with the fact that getting a BAD grade in X isn't a bad thing?#a bad grade in being friends... okay... so you didn't check up on someone in 3 months... you failed... that's fine...#you can learn from it!! you can learn how to keep in touch with people. how to take care of them when they're sick.#how to resolve a dispute. how to communicate and compromise. these are all things you are not born with #and will fail first before succeeding at #Like yes I get that in the age of surveillance your failures may be recorded and preserved forever and that's not great #but if we don't normalize failure I really think we'll just suffocate and die

Astarion: I think he likes us. Tav: I like him, too. But I'd never say it to his smarmy face. Raphael has a crush on Tav and tries real hard to act cool about it.

#raphael #raphael bg3 #raphael baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #Raphael is that suave charming bad boy who tries to look cool as hell (heh) in front of his crush like an absolute nerd #meanwhile my tav also has a crush on him so we're both losers really #bg3gifs #korilla hearthflame #screaming at the “came out on top” line... the writers definitely did that on purpose and it makes my brain go brrr #because that definitely means he likes you carnally since we found out about HoH #Also look at Tav's faceeeeeee #They're like “OH”#Like it just hit them #Omggggggg

#art #fanart #drawing #sketch #cult of the lamb #cotl #cotl narinder #cotl shamura #cotl heket #my hand is starting to die out #anyway i totally think shamura is its favorite sibling and it would constantly give them longing looks behind their back #i hc that theres only a 1-3 year difference between heket and narinder so there's constant fighting when they're around each other #i didnt want to add a thousand dots so just imagine she's signing #i actually dont have shamura yet im a bit sad about that #very shoddy sketch i couldnt go over it again cause my hand started killing me midway through #a crown for shamura too because both the death cat and war spider have lost their minds in some form of way 😁👍

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #Sans #Papyrus #Gaster #Finally a set mostly featuring the brothers! Yay!#I love their dynamic so muuuuch and they're both so cuuuuuute ahhhhhhh <3 <3 #I made that first one based on some half-remembered doodles from my Very First time around drawing UT characters - going way back!#I never posted any of them - I do actually have some studies from back then from various artists including Zarla haha ♪#And I think the original sketches for the pixel bouncies I made of them? :0 There's a lot of good stuff back there! Been a while tho lol #Really tho I've just kinda been on a big-eyes-and-swirly-cheeks kick lately haha ♪ They suit it so well! Especially Sans #Very fun to put down strong lines about ♫#Hugging <3 Always hugging <3 <3 #I'm really pleased with their hands there actually haha - Papyrus pulling Sans in and Sans' hand on his ribs not pushing just a little space #They're so cute <3 Even some of my first doodles of them were them giving little donk-pecks on their cheek or forehead #Y'know - since they don't have lips lol #Also probably not a shock but I've pulled out my own colour cube(s) to play with out of inspiration lol #I am So out of practice lol #Sleeping on each other - it is The Classic! I love Papyrus' little paw thing with his plated hand while he sleeps haha #I personally really like the inverted Soul look on Monsters but in Handplates they're right side up! What do!#There must be a happy medium to strike somewhere hmmm #Just put them sideways and upset Everyone lol #A silly little set with Gaster of the two ''flying'' - does that activity actually have a name? :0 I don't know it #Gaster is not about to have them playing anything that could end up with 1-s falling though - not that he'll listen lol #''Because I told you to!'' Lol #And finally trying on clothes in their house! Papyrus is getting weird vibes off this shirt with how it ties in the back and hangs loosely #I'm pretty sure? I've been drawing him with his scar but it can hard to tell even looking at it myself lol #I'm not exactly careful with the delineation of his neck bones so the line can get lost #Needs a shirt that will compliment a scarf or a cape for sure

#art #resident evil 8 #resident evil #re8 #resident evil village #i think they should've done a face reveal for Ethan in the dlc btw #i know we already know what his face looks like but i feel like story wise it would've made sense for him to be able to show his face #in the mold dimension. like. he's already dead. his things over #he has sparkle powers now he's not fucked up anymore #kind of #anyway #ethan winters #rose winters #the dlc felt a bit short but like. its a dlc. so is to be expected #i wish we got more rose content tho. i hope we do get more rose content #im excited for whatever comes next either way though #i like that they let rose be a little gross and scary like her dad. they're both sooo stupid too <3 #i also LOVE that Ethan has sparkle powers in the afterlife.or well. mold. memory. whatever #I'm just imagining all the lords in the mold being like. damn well i guess this isn't so bad. then miranda shows up #and heisenburg is like fuck! and then Ethan shows up and everyone is like fuck!!#like what do they do? kill eachother again? they're already dead #i guess miranda like. killed all the other lords kinda and used them to make the evil duke?? unless i completely misread her notes #I'm gonna go check. then I'm gonna stop typing whole paragraphs in the tags. see ya #art of duck

My two Narrators (Grey and Black) listening to music together :3

Look at them vibing!

Unrelated siblings forever ♡

#awee they're so cute #I'm so glad I decided to split them in two #they were the same person originally (back when I was still experimenting on the Narrator's design)#I accidentally created one Narrator that had the qualities of both Black and Grey #but I wasn't happy with him because of how comfusing his character is for me #the conflicting characterization between my Tumblr Narrator and YouTube Narrator really bothered me #so i just decided to split them into two!#now they're just their own guys now :3 #MITOSIS MITOSIS MITOSIS MITO-💥💥💥#the stanley parable #the stanley parable ultra deluxe #tsp #tspud #narrator tsp #tsp narrator #mine 💗#the stanley parable animation #tsp animation #tsp au lore

Something about how Fire & Ice give up on going after Pearl directly, and instead both arrow in on dissing Marina-

Something about, Pearl having no shame at all, outright telling Frye right off that Off the Hook is here to “take control” and then literally talking over Frye’s turn. Frye’s snarking on how Pearl isn’t the boss here and no one’s cheering for her, ignored. How she goes after both Frye and Shiver asking where Frye’s big friend is to help her pass this test, moving right on to saying they’re both just goons making a mess anyway, little fish who should stay in they're bowl, but

that seems to give Frye the idea of hitting back with the “who’s backing you? Imaginary friends?” line… like Marina doesn’t even count as a music partner- or a friend?

Pearl literally yaps about Marina being divine, one of a kind, voice so fine, big mind- raps the lines off her cuff and the heart that's proudly pinned there

And Frye and Shiver go TARGET DETECTED. They lock onto Marina.

Shiver doesn’t bother trying to needle Marina about Pearl, the way their partners were each doing- if Pearl has no shame then at least she DOES still have a weakness, a soft spot, a thing she openly cares about- something they can try riling her up over

(problem: Pearl actually has all the confidence in Marina as a musician, partner, and performer. She's WATCHED Marina be all those things for YEARS now)

In the end Frye and Shiver just rile up the gay feels. Because Marina’s been living with a rapper who LOVES hyping her up even when they’re not on stage- Pearl who said she’d cut a fish for Marina. And if you don’t come to Inkopolis with a lot of self confidence, well then getting some from your girlfriend is fine too

But it’s cute that Pearl’s still so obvious about being Marina's no. 1 fan that Fire & Ice thought they could use it against her XD

#splatoon 3 #pearl houzuki #marina ida #pearlina #.#suffer no fools #suffer from the og gays instead #forever i love that Off the Hook just don't have drama with each other #LOTS of things they don't agree on #plenty of teasing #some not fun fights over their music #(when it comes to our art we have to be true to ourselves! NO compromises!) <- marina that's so sweet u guys only fight when you #AGREE it's IMPORTANT and that you both SHOULD #but otherwise?#they just are best buddies #......bedfellows even....#.....canon sharers of the same bed....#like their careers are a thing they do bc they like doing it with each other #(ahaha whoops the phrasing there uhh)#they like spending TIME together #OUTSIDE of music and band stuff #i love that for them #they're not family or childhood neighbors #they just picked each other up one day like 'oh hey cool this is what i've been missing'#:)#i love them

DYKERY IN MY MIND THE LIKES OF WHICH YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVEEEEE RN #FEMMES............. I AM YOURS ALWAYS AND FOREVER <3 #...me thinking delphi is the sexiest woman alive aside... look at her pointy wolf ears sticking out!!#and yeah... her and ria both have scars on their throats. they gave them to each other :)<3 #they're werewolf soulmates..... of course it's that intense and serious they had to wound each other #delphi's is from when ria turned her but ria's is from delphi wanting to mark ria back... normally it'd heal but :)#ria is a born wolf and delphi is their little werewolf mate... which means they don't heal like a wolf would at delphi's hands #delphi's not a born wolf tho so </3 not the same for her. but turning scars always stay with the body along with any other wounds #that were already there at the time of turning...#<- this is real lykos story lore so. don't look too closely at ria's scars from that last post. they don't actually make sense #i just thought wow... those are sexy. and put them on her kjdgfkhfn #none of the lykos ocs' scars are canon until i make them myself #but dionte's eye scar and delria's throat scars are canon!! i'll make custom ones one day but for now! i'm just rocking with what i've got

Vigil - 2x06

#vigiledit #bbc vigil #amy silva #kirsten longacre #suranne jones #rose leslie #vigil spoilers #vigil 2x06 #amy x kirsten #femslash related stuff #okay so I hadn't been feeling well saturday night so when the eps dropped I literally just watched the last scene on iplayer #just to make sure nobody freaking died #and it was amy saying I'm coming home on the phone #and given the ''come home''/''I can't'' moment in the trailer I thought amy was legit gonna stay in wudyan these whole last 3 eps #which I didn't love the idea of I truly wanted an amy/kirsten reunion but I was like oh maybe rose leslie's pregnancy interfered #as long as they're both alive and we got that lovely scene in ep 2 it's fine #so this was all a COMPLETE surprise even more than usual #I made it a twist to my own self #and then it was like the perfect hurt/comfort scene you'd want for an action detective couple like this!#amy so focused on the job and then dropping everything to rush to kirsten's side #sitting there all night and that classic waking up in the chair next to the hospital bed scene #and they even had their cake and ate it too by having amy *choose* kirsten over the job #only for kirsten to then push her back to it #and going from this soppy soft teary version of amy to a pissed off black suit badass #because they'd hurt her girl #such a good couple to build a series like this around #lol amy really didn't want to leave!#she's just sitting and gazing at kirsten #man those years ago kirsten would never have imagined getting to see amy like this and meaning so much to her

i think my favorite thing about tim and bernard is just how in love tim is with bear. usually in civilian x hero relationships the civilian is always way more in love with the hero than vice versa. but with tim and bernard, tim is sooo fuckin gone for bear, it almost stops being cute and borders on lame. pathetic even.

#like bear smiles #and tim is tripping into the marina #tim leaning against a pole trying to be suave: hey~ 😎#bear beaming: hiii tim! <3 how are you!#tim slipping off the pole falling on his ass and trying to get up only to hit his head on a metal railing in a looney tunes-esque sequence:#nothing much! how's your day been?#this is not saying that bear is super calm and not affected by tim #he definitely is. it's just he's pathetic about it in a subtler way (at least that what he thinks)#anyway they both think they're being subtle about being in love with each other but to every1 else it's like they're holding up a sign that #says: WE'RE BOTH REALLY FUCKING IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!#like bear's college friends hate when tim comes over bc bear who is normally so competent is sooo fucking stupid around tim #dc #bernard dowd #tim drake #timber #timbern

honestly of all the design choices they made for Raphael, the stupid little jingle boots just beat absolutely everything. there's the devil, big, bad, with giant wings and power-hungry plans. he's torturing people in his dungeon. and he's got boots. with little bows on it. and tiny bells. he tries to elegantly approach you with a poem to lure you into selling your soul but you just hear him slowly jingling in from the distance

#its. SO perfect #it's a detail but the boots really both encapture his character and take it all apart at the same time #the way they're his devil form only boots too??#like did he decide the lil bows are just too babygirl for everyday business or #bg3 raphael #baldur's gate iii #bg3 #raphael the cambion #baldur's gate 3 #raphael bg3
