Ok I’ve never posted here before but I wanted to share this Disco Elysium x Night in the Woods crossover fanart I drew. Please view the graffiti, I worked really hard on referencing both games :))))
REACTION SPEED [Heroic: failure] - a single ravioli, damp from the water, still pleasantly steaming, lands with a defeated slap, on the linoleum floor. You see it happen, watch it flip through the air, like an Olympic bronze off the high-dive, or a suicidal veteran of war. you feel yourself shout a "No!", but it is too late. there, the ravioli, impossibly, lays limp. FORSAKEN RAVIOLI - Why, it thinks, why me? For all the time I was grown and processed then crafted and for all the time I have waited for the only purpose which I was made for. To be cast so suddenly, so errantly, into the realm of the beyond? Beyond savior. DRAMA - And here you stand, clad like a captain with your wooden spoon, watching as an honorable soldier, nay, a man, lies without your hand to aid him, on the kitchen floor.
VOLITION - you must act, now! first it must be picked up, then its fate can be decided. COMPOSURE - Its fate is the trash. AUTHORITY - Its fate is the trash. YOU - You pick up the ravioli, it is hot, nearly still boiling, gushing steam and hot pasta blood down your hand. It hurts, but standing here, there is nowhere else for it. PERCEPTION - It looks fine... LOGIC - Don't do this. SHIVERS [Heroic: Success] - Somewhere southeast of here, perhaps hundreds of miles, grain sprouts in a field, rich wheat, and butternut squash, only an acre over. The wind whistles through the fields, running like gleeful children through the tiny, green plants. Some will be eaten by birds, worms, or moles, but some will reach high into the sky, where they will be plucked and ground into pasta dough. You have seen the birthplace of this soldier. It is humble, a beautiful childhood, and so, so long ago. An entire pasta-lifetime, now. FORSAKEN RAVIOLI - I thought I had finally made it. And with my brethren... YOU - You look at the bowl, the rest of the ravioli, steaming in mournful, pyrrhic celebration. My company... EMPATHY - This ravioli could be you. You can't give up on it now. Not because of your own mistake. AUTHORITY - This is not what a dignified man would do. send him off and mourn, perhaps, but do not spend one moment more considering his limp, cooling corpse. DRAMA - Where has your heart gone, O Honorable One? Authority - … EMPATHY - the greatest service you could do for this little soldier, and for all those beyond you that forged him, is to eat him. What else is rightfully to be done? VISUAL CALCULUS - It was on the floor for less than 4.7 whole seconds. ENCYLOPEDIA - most forms of bacterium are able to jump, especially to wet materials, in about 1.2- PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - any residue on your kitchen floor may well be material which was once already in your stomach. CONCEPTUALIZATION - if you think about it, that means you've already kind of eaten the ravioli.
INLAND EMPIRE - From the Floor, Of the Floor, To the Floor. To be, or not to be, one with this eternal cycle? ENDURANCE - Anything the floor could not contain, you could digest. (with VOLITION) We are iron. HALF LIGHT - Bite into its soft, warm flesh. EMPATHY - Give it peace. ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Eat the floor-violi, pasta slut! YOU - weeping, bring the ravioli to your lips, and then, impossibly, with infinite mercy, love, bring it into you. It tastes fantastic. You would have never know it was on the floor at all. You can feel the hum of satisfaction, the glory of it in your lungs, swelling to fill you more than even a pasta-feast could. This is the mercy you wish your God could cast on you, when you fall. KIM KITSURAGI - "Harry,"
people seem to really forget that harry dubois is a cop. like 90% of the shit that people rag on evrart for is pretty straightforwardly him fucking with seemingly the most incompetent cop in the world
I forgot to post these progress pics.
Thanks for following me for a year even though I don't post much. If you'd like more art from me, sharing and commissioning me would help a lot.
Terezi Pyrope as Ltn-2Jfr Harrier Du Bois
Tyzias Entykk as Lt. Kim Kitsuragi
and either of the Serkets as Dolores Dei (I first thought of Sufferer, but the more I read about Dolores, the more I think of Serket.)
it’s actually funny how much DE explicitly states in the opening scenes ‘hi you are playing a cop. A cop has a certain social and political role. It affects how people engage you.’ and how little it nevertheless shows up in popular readings
thank you for this because for whatever reason I am getting assumptions that I’m saying something like ‘the subtext is practically explicit’ as opposed to ‘no it literally just tells you that at one point’
harry du bois steps up to the lectern in front of the crowd. "as a lesbian...." he pauses, looks at kim questioningly. kim shakes his head imperceptibly. harry looks back at the audience "...supporter"
CAPTAIN MISURN — "This is the one." The captain lapses into customary silence. Interrogations are *your* job, lieutenant.
CHILCHUCK — "Make it quick, yeah?" The half-foot is several drinks deep, an adventurer's preferred state. "I don't make a habit of talking to Canaries."
ELECTROCHEMISTRY — I'll have what he's having.
CHILCHUCK — He waits like a pin for your first raking pass.
- - "What do you know about necromancy?"
- - "I've heard you're organizing adventurers. You can't do that, it tarnishes the divine authority of Her Ethereal Majesty's glorious Elven nation!"
- - "I've heard you're organizing adventurers. Do you not trust market forces to set a fair price for sneakthievery?"
- - "I've heard you're organizing adventurers. It's a good start, but when do you behead the governor and let the streets run with the blood of shopkeeps and other petty-bourgeois pigs?"
- - "I need to gather my party." [Leave.]
YOU — "What do you know about necromancy?"
CHILCHUCK — "Necromancy? You mean the forbidden arts? Dark magic? Officer, why in the hell would I know *anything* about that?"
DRAMA [Challenging: Success] — My liege. 'Tis not just spirits on his breath. Smell it: the savory scent of a *lie.*
EMPATHY [Legendary: Success] — There's a sorrow he's trying to hide.
- - "Seems like a useful skill to pick up."
- - "She's gone, isn't she?"
- - "Let's talk about something else."
YOU — "She's gone, isn't she?"
CHILCHUCK — "What are you…?" His eyes widen - it's just a flicker. He shakes it away. "What are you saying, officer?"
EMPATHY — It's there. Deep in there.
- - Wait, how do I know this?
- - "I said she's *gone,* isn't she?"
- - "Nothing. Never mind."
YOU — Wait, how do I know this?
INLAND EMPIRE — You ask from the bottom of a hole. You already know this.
EMPATHY — A pain you've borne for an age of men, alone. It's there, fresh, in the tiny mirrors of his eyes. He feels it, too.
- - "I said she's *gone,* isn't she?"
- - "She's gone… and she took the kids."
- - "Nothing. Never mind."
YOU — "She's gone… and she took the kids."
CHILCHUCK — He scowls. "You know what? Officer, this interview is over. Any further questions will have to go through a guild representative."
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Medium: Success] — His hands shake around the stein. A liability for a locksmith.
AUTHORITY — Bingo.
New task: Call her.
Guy mugging me pulls a gun out and holds it to my face thinking I'll give him my wallet but I start sucking on the barrel and moaning instead
Stop. Tagging this. As Harry Du Bois.
before I played Disco Elysium, I thought Harry du Bois was a co-worker in the precinct you work at and, reading about him being such a fucked up guy, I was literally planning on avoiding him as much as possible in my playthrough... colour me surprised when I found the badge and found out the main character's name
I hope in the disco elysium sequel they reveal that Kim has a normal boyfriend named like Steve
Also harry needs to take it badly it needs to be like
KIM— “His name is Steve. He is my fiance.”
LOGIC (failure)— You guys are best friends and you haven’t met steve yet? This guy is NOT real.
HALF LIGHT— Kill steve.
(NEW TASK: KILL STEVE)
VOLITION— What? No!!
HALF LIGHT— okay.
(NEW TASK: KILL YOURSELF AT THEIR WEDDING)
harry dubois would end death note in one episode. he'd be unkillable bc he has no fucking idea what his name is and then he'd go drink driving and accidentally run light over and the killings would mysteriously stop
Harry: Kim, what's following that kid?
Kim: ...
Harry: What?
Kim: What are you talking about?
Inland Empire [80%]
Looks like you're the only one who can see it.
Harry: The... bone monster?
Kim: The bone monster.
Harry: Yes. The bone monster.
YOU - “I should write a screenplay.”
KIM KITSURAGI - “Oh? What about?”
YOU - “You know. Me! Detective work, policing, hard living, and disco - who wouldn’t watch it?”
JEAN VICQUEMARE - “Oh, fuck. You’re going to make a movie, are you? Want to make the next Martin Scorsese’s Goncharov?”
ESPIRIT DE CORPS [Trivial: Success] - Kim is looking at you. He is worried.
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Medium: Success] - Goncharov is not a real film. It is an old joke from microblogging site Tumblr which recently revived to great fanfare. If you don’t reveal you know this, you will look foolish.
YOU - What about Martin Scorsese?
ENCYCLOPEDIA - What about him?
YOU - Is he real?
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Easy: Failed] - It’s a matter of debate.
PERCEPTION [Medium: Success] - Kim is looking harder. He is worrying harder. You have spent an abnormal length of time pondering Goncharov and Scorsese.
1. “Kim, is Martin Scorsese real?”
2. [Drama - Medium 10] Bluff your way out. Out-bullshit the bullshitter.
3. [Savoir Faire - Impossible 20] Do a backflip.
DRAMA [Medium: Success]
YOU - “Don’t bullshit me, Jean. Everyone knows Martin Scorsese’s not real.”
ESPIRIT DE CORPS [Easy: Success] - Everyone laughs. In this particular instance, they are laughing with you.
precinct 41:
precinct 51:
these precincts are 46 miles apart. kim kitsuragi was so desperate for pussy he picked up a 50 minute commute
this got nearly 100 notes without a single person noting that my weedbrain mistook kilometers for miles and calculated according to that. the commute is actually 15 minutes and as always he is excruciatingly normal and i in the role of harry du bois have severely overestimated kim’s level of pussydrive
LOGIC [Trivial - Failure] – He wants you so bad it makes him look stupid
INTERFACING - You fuck it up. Your juvenile glee at finding a slide leads you to swing down into the pipe far too fast. INLAND EMPIRE - Like the child you used to be. AUTHORITY - But you are not a child any more. ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY - Fuck that shit, bomb it down there and scream the whole time! PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - We can take it. We can always take it. PAIN THRESHOLD - Pain, radiant and sharp, jolts through you. You can not, in fact, take it. [Health -1] REACTION SPEED - You fly out of the slide, propelled by your weight and your enthusiasm. ENDURANCE - The metal jars against you, then you're sliding over the harsh ground instead. COMPOSURE - You land heavily at Kim's feet, and begin to whine like a child with a scraped knee. ESPRIT DE CORPS - His infinitesimal regard for you as a normal human being is so dead at this point he's not even surprised. KIM KITSURAGI - "Normal people, when they go down a slide, they're fine." AUTHORITY - He's questioning your authority! VOLITION - Sitting on the floor and crying after being beaten up by a slide, you have precious little authority to question. [Morale -1]
Me: Kim is great but I don't really understand when ppl draw low key thirst-
draws Lady!Kim
Me: oh fuck oh shit
