Curate, connect, and discover
Sometimes, I like to imagine what Kim and Harry would do together after all of DE like in their line of work
For example: Kim and Harry go to find a lost kitty
Kim: "Detective, how does a lost cat connect to our current case? Let's just report this back to the precinct and let the lost-and-found department handle this case." he looks down at his notebook uninterested in finding the cat
Logic: There is no lost-and-found department.
Composure [Easy:Failure]: The poor kitten is lost and afraid. Curl up in a ball and cry at how devastating that image is.
Rhetoric [Medium:Success]: Show Kim how much this lost cat means to you. That'll convince Kim to listen.
Harry: "But Kim, the kitty... he's lost and needs to find a way home..." you look up at Kim with tears blurring your vision
Perception [Trivial:Sucess]: There in the tree you walk past, you hear a familiar cry of a lost soul
Harry: "Kim, did you hear that?"
Kim: "Detective, we need to-"
Harry: "There! Up in the tree!" You point to the branch in which the stands afraid
Kim: "I don't see it, Detective." He squints his eyes, trying to locate the branch where he hears the voice from
Visual Calculus [Easy:Failure]: You could easily climb up there in the tree, grab the cat, and come down heroically, proving to Kim that you were in fact right in helping this cat.
Harry: You clumsily climb the tree, almost falling on your way up, and when you get to the branch where the cat is, you reach for the branch using it as support.
Harry: The branch can't support your weight and breaks as both you and the cat fall off the tree
Lost Cat: As he is falling, he notices Kim and prepares to land square on his face
Pain Threshold [Trivial:Sucess]: You've experienced worst pain than this before, walk it off.
Kim:"Detective, are you okay?" The cat is still hugging Kim's face as he gently pulls the cat off and cradles it like a baby.
Harry: Picking yourself up, you notice the cat has cuddled up to Kim and wished you were the cat right now
Harry:"Let's go back to the precinct and return the cat to its owner" there's a hint of jelousy in your voice as the cat looks at you without a care in the world
*Back at the precinct*
Jean Vicquemare: "Did you make any progress in the case?" he looks over at Kim and notices the cat in his hand. "...not again..."
Empathy [Easy:Failure]: He looks tired, I think he's taken on too many cases and needs a good night sleep.
Harry: "Did you want me to grab a cup of coffee for you?"
Jean Vicquemare: "Shitkid, how many times have I told you to focus on your case. We've got enough case load as is, and you helping a lost cat doesn't help anybody here." he tries his best not to raise his voice but is clearly upset and exasperated.
Kim: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I tried to convince him out of it, but you know how he gets." Kim tries to calm Jean but clearly Jean is upset at you and not Kim.
Jean Vicquemare: "Listen, Lieutenant Kitsuragi, while I appreciate your attempts at trying to convince him, shitkid over here needs to get his shit together to complete the case soon or else..." he's looking at you with a glare
Rhetoric: Feel around your pocket. Remember the clues you picked up on your way back to the precinct. Maybe that'll convince Jean to get off your case.
Composure [hard:failure]: Shit shit shit. Jean is right. You picked up nothing. Nada. Your pocket only holds trinkets of your trip. Oh god, what are we going to do.
Drama [easy:failure]: Lie about your trip. Maybe if you convince Jean that the trinkets you picked up along that way was a gift for him he'd let you go
Harry: Pulls out a pinecone from your pocket. "Jean, this is for you, my dearest partner. I found it while we were out, and it reminded me of you. " You look at him with puppy dog eyes.
Jean Vicquemare: "..." he sighs tired and ready to give up on you entirely
*end scene*
We all need to say sorry for him š
I keep continue Disco Elysium/bsd vibe
Glowing lungs as a metaphor for Chuuya's nobility? EASY
Dazai is a disco dancer
In my mind he and Harry seems very similar so i often draw Dazai like this
Idk this idea look good for me
KIM KITSURAGI: Kim raises an eyebrow threateningly at you
Well Hi! I'm not very good at running social media but I'm obsessed with drawing!
So let's get acquainted! This is me and my best friend in the Disco Elysium style
This game really touched my heart... and gave me so much inspiration... this is my tribute
I want to mention @thirdchildart , her work with visual metaphors was huge inspiration for this comics too, especially that stream where she was talking about visual storytelling in her tma animatic
Disclaimer: This is not an instruction on how to deal with amnesia or the effects of alcohol. I've never drank alcohol and have absolutely no idea what to do in alcohol situations. The situation in the comic is fiction, based on the game lore. If you see someone in similar circumstances, or you experiencing something like this, go to doctor
Kim Kitsuragi is a fascinating character because there's not that much fun or interesting or compelling about him. And yet somehow over the course of playing Disco Elysium the game rewires your fucking brain around him. He's the middest man you've ever seen in both appearance and personality but at some point he says something kind to you or something critical of you and you feel like you just got hit by a truck and you need his approval like you need oxygen and like how tf did this happen. what are you
HARRY DU BOIS & CRASH BANDICOOT: ROADTRIP OF A LIFETIME. FRIENDSHIPS MADE. SOULS BONDED. THE BROTHERHOOD FORGED.
In addition to the symbolism of the forget-me-not in the game itself, it has several other meanings: Forget-me-not in the language of flowers means memory and loyalty.
There is a belief that forget-me-nots are scattered around the earth by angels so that people do not forget their past, their loved ones and their homeland.
The flower in Jean's hand is freesia, it symbolizes trust. a distinctive feature of freesia is its amazing smell.
Also, there is a belief too: the scent of freesia can be treated for depression, it reminds us of eternal spring and youth, when everything blooms and rejoices.
*guy who has run out of fictional characters to inspire me voice* cuno wouldn't even fucking care about this. cuno would do whatever the fuck he wanted
obligatory disco elysium screenshot dump ive played this game twice it has sucked so many hours of my life so here are some of SO FUCKING MANY harrier duboisisms that made me shit myself
oh my god⦠i love you free playable disco elysium gameboy demake on itch.io š„¹
i know everyone on this website means well, but if you ask me āwhich of these characters is sadder/wetter/doing worse in generalā, and one of the opinions is harry dubois, youāre kidding yourself if you choose the other one. youāre kidding yourself for even suggesting it. he doesnāt know what the alphabet is. everyone he works with fucking hates him. he routinely threatens to kill himself while doing his job. he got broken up with SIX YEARS AGO and is still on like, day one of the grieving stage. he can die from sitting down in an uncomfortable chair. his clothes are soaked in piss and vomit all the time. as if all that wasnāt enough heās also a cop like come on guys nobody is doing worse than him, we should just accept heās an unattainable #1 and start polling for who is in second place
one of the funniest things about disco elysium to me is that kim never once gives an appropriate amount of fucks about harryās medical emergency. youāll be like kim help i donāt remember what a car is and heāll say detective can you please get your shit together iām trying to do my fucking job here
