the world of Disco Elysium is bleak and unyielding and this is reflected in the artwork. each character, in their headshot portrait, faces the viewer directly. their expressions are neutral, exhausted, unsmiling. sure klaasje has a faint humorless smirk, and evrart a wide smug grin, but both are obviously carefully-chosen armor against the soul-crushing grind of Late-Stage Capitalism.
not trant though! he's doing a cutesy little over-the-shoulder glamor pose and he is Legitimately Thrilled to be talking to you. this man did NOT understand the genre of the game at ALL.

My favourite, very not-serious headcanon is that Kim cannot stand Trant. Not for any legitimate reasons, but because Trant is the antithesis to every way Kim carries himself.
Kim refuses to admit to the things he likes, going so far as to pretend he doesn't even know what Speedfreaks is, when it comes up with Isobel and the twins. While Trant WILL spend 25 min telling you about the FELD building and the martial art he practices and the cool article he read, and you WILL enjoy it, and you SHOULD definitely check out that cool article he mentioned.
Kim describes himself as completely apolitical (even if that's not completely true) while Trant will tell you that he just loves to examine political systems (for FUN of course, no opinion here. No sir)
Kim will be so careful of how he's perceived (for good reason, obviously) and Trant will call himself a loser on purpose (but also because doing so makes him sound cooler)
I know he's often seen as Jean's counterpart, but I think it would kinda work for Kim, too.
I’ve made like 10 of these posts and I make all of them on the same procreate canvas. According to canvas statistics I’ve put six hours of my life into these. Anyway enjoy the fruits of my labor.
