small vent that doesn’t actually mean anything in the grand scheme of things but disco elysium fans listen to me when i say not a single person is “treating disco elysium like a dating sim” or “boiling it down to a gay video game”
i promise you no one is playing this heavy political lore filled beautiful tragic game that can be extremely disturbing and poignant and only taking away from that entire experience that harry is bisexual or that kim is gay. nobody is doing that to themselves.
if you see someone’s online presence with de only include posting their ship art or fanfiction or whatever that doesn’t indicate shit about what they feel for the game! that doesn’t tell you anything about them! at all! not every single person is going to post lengthy analysis and political reviews. some fans will JUST post what is fun for THEM. that’s not a reflection of anything.
the worst takes ive seen online weren’t from people with “shipping goggles” they’re from people so disillusioned with what disco elysium stands for that they think the new collage feature “ruins the integrity of the game entirely.” how little faith do you have in the game’s storytelling and impact that you think some dumb new feature totally erases its messages? nothing can ever take away the original intention of de. which isn’t to say that you can’t complain or get upset, because you should be upset, it’s an incredibly shitty situation. but if you’re getting mad at the wrong people and making a hostile online environment then… maybe don’t?
disco elysium is a work of art unlike anything ive ever had the pleasure of interacting with. it has a lot of problems. it’s fans have a lot of problems. of course a game that’s this focused in on theory and politics won’t be perfect and won’t have a perfect following. but i promise you there isn’t a hoard of fangirls slogging through hours of disco elysium text for the soul purpose of thinking that two men could kiss.
I love chewing on the paper around muffins when I’m done eating them. It’s extra flavor. I can’t let it go to waste.
this is a first for me anon, truly, and i do not know how to articulate.. my uhm.. ?? 😂 confusion?! as you may have guessed i have yet to try the paper around the muffins, i don’t know what to say in my defense, 21 years and no muffin wrapper 💀 i guess i’m not as adventurous as i thought
the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????
i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.
so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.
so bc i am a Gross Dude my friends i and sometimes rate our burps and my coworker (who is a teen girl) burped in front of me once and i instinctively rated it
so now every time she burps she looks to me hopefully for a rating and bc she has delicate little baby burps i now have to create an entirely new Burp Rating System unique to her bc i rate anything below a 5 and she looks at me like this
