Ahum Nervous twiddling

So this here’s my first entry into the Disco Elysium fandom. I don’t wanna talk about how long this took me (though that has a lot to do with working around work these days.)

I don’t know much about the fandom except what I’ve seen online, which has convinced me it’s possibly the most talented fandom I’ve ever come across. I wanted to make sure this was as chef’s kiss as I possibly could. With that, I’m still a little…“Ehhh, is this good??? I dunno. Ehhh…” I hope y'all like it anyway. There’s going to be a lot more coming, because DE has officially become my new hyperfixation and I don’t see myself letting go any time soon. It’s literally the best video game I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of good games.

For those who don’t know, Disco Elysium is a game about wanting to be held tenderly by Kim Kitsuragi a murder mystery set in an alternate universe…1980s? 1990s? starring a washed up, alcoholic, clinically insane disco holdover detective with amnesia named Harrier “Harry” Du Bois and his brand-new partner, Kim Kitsuragi, AKA the best person who ever lived.

Harry is probably the most mentally ill protagonist I’ve ever come across (not counting those Japanese and Korean visual novels where YOU are the serial killer ALL ALONG, a;lkjal;jkfdf,) and I say that with both affection and awe. This game scratches the deep itch I have for stories that are both dark and hysterically funny, and DE has both of those in spades. The ugliness of mental illness is never sacrificed for the game’s awesome amount of humor, and at least for me, while I found myself laughing at Harry’s conversations with his clothing and the way he solves mysteries by talking to monstrous voices he conjures in his head, I never felt like I was laughing AT Harry, if that makes sense. As someone who has experienced psychosis IRL (I thankfully respond very well to medication,) this game really, really appeals to me.

This game also made me cry. That’s very rare for me; I’ve done it maybe twice before from games.

Anyway, I hope all this makes sense, and I hope people who follow me for other fandoms understand that I still love those things; my brain just sort of focuses on what it wants, and what it wants right now is Disco Elysium.

More but less intensive sketches coming soon. I do understand the company and the next game is probably in the toilet, but: One day I will return to your side, my little revacholieres.
