[“When I used to teach creative writing, I would tell the students to make their characters want something right away—even if it’s only a glass of water. Characters paralyzed by the meaningless of modern life still have to drink water from time to time. One of my students wrote a story about a nun who got a piece of dental floss stuck between her lower left molars, and who couldn’t get it out all day long. I thought that was wonderful. The story dealt with issues a lot more important than dental floss, but what kept readers going was anxiety about when the dental floss would finally be removed. Nobody could read that story without fishing around in his mouth with a finger. Now, there’s an admirable practical joke for you. When you exclude plot, when you exclude anyone’s wanting anything, you exclude the reader, which is a mean-spirited thing to do.”]

It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.

i dont know what it is with disco elysium but this game makes me *want* life. like reading all the fanfictions and seeing the art and just playing the game makes me so goddamn happy to be alive, seeing all the love that people pour out for a guy who canonically is a huuuge loser with a 'disgusting' face and a broken mind is just somehow healing my perception of the world

maybe i'm preaching to the choir putting this on tumblr but i just feel like something beautiful is really going to happen yknow. my life is like nowhere near as tragic as his but i just feel like the hand of humanity has stretched out towards me lately

spoiler: it's not true

how come in every disco Elysium post I see, the mustache one is being a massive cringe fail loser (usually face first on the floor), while the bald one is off to the side serving metric tons of cunt

Pryce laughs robustly. “So we’ve got some sort of a love…polygon, a union vote in five days, fourteen shots fired by Vic’s count, three stiffs, one destroyed firearms locker that we’ll probably have to reimburse Delta Logistics for, a random betting slip, some necklace that cost a king’s ransom, and a whole safe full of naughty notes.”

“…Yes.” Kim confirms, trying to hide a smile. “An apt summary, really.”

“You know, I became a junior officer at nineteen–” The captain flourishes his hand toward Gottlieb, “–Ah, Nix could tell you about those days. I’ve been a cop almost forty years, and this? This takes a whole bakery full of cakes, boys. What next, an escaped lion from the god damn zoo?”

Pryce’s shrug is exaggerated; the lieutenant is mildly amused.
