fucking hate texting dracula i'll send him a funny meme and he'll call me to be like "i need to take a SCREAMshot on my HELL phone" like oh my god we get it youre scary
the way disco elysium plays with and ultimately shatters the concept of "camaraderie" in the police and the military truly is So. Good.
it introduces you to kim who is this ideal of the Brother in Arms - you meet him and you know. he'd lay it all down for you.
you then proceed to realize this is a kim thing, not a cop thing, despite the skill that informs you about it being The Cop Camaraderie skill
the rest of the cops are not just unhelpful, they're cruel. they're a boys' club of toxic masculinity, homophobia and joking about how they abuse their power, like when jean stole mustard from a homeless man. if harry begs them for help, the greatest kindness the operator can do for him is pretend he didn't hear and cut the connection to save harry's pride. the more you put into this skill, the more the rancid underbelly of policing and policemen as individuals in this system comes to light.
and that's before we get into the plot-relevant stuff, how martinaise was abandoned by jean and co because jean was too damn busy trying to make a point to harry than do his fucking job.
then there's the bond between the paramilitary squad. unlike the cops, they're tight, a family to each other, and it makes them completely immune to reason the moment the Head of their hierarchy gets murdered. and this head of theirs, the most rational, most charismatic of them all, their leader, still was a monster who, for His Men and their Morale, saw kidnapping some poor girl and offering her like a human sacrifice to the pit of animals that was his squadron as a Rational course of action.
maybe there's love there, in a way, but it's the kind of love that wholly depends on seeing your circle as the only people deserving of life, and the rest of the world as insects.
and i think abt how so many other stories that try to be cop or military critical still fall into that trap of believing that the people in these environs are a Family doing their Best, that they got each others back and thats all that they need to get through this!(whatever plot event is happening)
and not that its like. a cesspool of keeping each other in Check or maintaining that Family only by Othering the rest of the world

a little while ago i was hanging out with some friends watching severance and at the same time i was browsing ao3 to look for specifically crossover severance fanfiction bc we wanted to see if any brave souls had mapped the innie/outie dynamics onto the miraculous ladybug love square, or vice versa. as of the time of looking they hadn't. conceptual favorites of what i saw there was anya mouthwashing x helly r. yuri and a fic where the cast of the owl house founds ricken's book. but this post is about any of that that this post is the about the fact that while we were doing this i said 'you know who could do a really great severed love square. narumitsu' and in the weeks since i have become increasingly delighted thinking about a world where miles edgeworth gets to essentially kill himself by stepping into an elevator every day.
uhhh yeah can i start with the house salad?
