are you interested in helping to create a new Disco Elysium Wiki?

hello! this got mentioned on Tumblr so i might as well post it here.

the Disco Elysium Wiki project (hosted on wiki.gg, not affiliated with the previous group of the coincidental same name) is a group of contributors looking to create a new Disco Elysium wiki hosted off of Fandom. we're also expanding the lore beyond just "Disco Elysium" and adding articles on PJOL and other world-building pieces later on. as the Fandom wiki won't allow forks, we're creating it from basically scratch. it's been a big undertaking but we've made so much progress.

we are in some serious need of writing talent, but we also have roles like coding, organization & lore-collecting. we're also open for non-contributors to check out our progress. there are many pages that could use your help, even if it's just to critique grammar or add other little tidbits.

the wiki itself will be open to the public on April 28th. we do not expect it to be "completed," just open. right now it is completely onboarding, so there's no public site yet. if you're interested in contributing or checking it out, please consider joining! :]

a preview!

“Easy as fucking pie, Lieutenant. Now we can put it under a microscope!”

DE fanart I drew from a scene in a roleplay I’m in. I love disco elysium. I’ll post normal fanart… eventually.

I’m so excited for the PHM movie but I’m so worried about how much of the flashbacks get cut. Because that’s what they’re gonna cut first and I love stratt

is somebody gonna match my freak (stage a coup to demand your coworker shoot your boss dead where he stands because you discovered he lied to you about why he dragged you and your best friend eight light years away from earth after encountering an exact replica of yourself and hearing him beg for his life as he’s burnt to a crisp in the void of space and then realizing said boss is the reason why your said best friend was murdered by said coworker)

Mine is hating a popular character for no real reason which is different than being neutral

Hehehe the commander

In writing, epithets ("the taller man"/"the blonde"/etc) are inherently dehumanizing, in that they remove a character's name and identity, and instead focus on this other quality.

Which can be an extremely effective device within narration!

They can work very well for characters whose names the narrator doesn't know yet (especially to differentiate between two or more). How specific the epithet is can signal to the reader how important the character is going to be later on, and whether they should dedicate bandwidth to remembering them for later ("the bearded man" is much less likely to show up again than "the man with the angel tattoo")

They can indicate when characters stop being as an individual and instead embody their Role, like a detective choosing to think of their lover simply as The Thief when arresting them, or a royal character being referred to as The Queen when she's acting on behalf of the state

They can reveal the narrator's biases by repeatedly drawing attention to a particular quality that singles them out in the narrator's mind

But these only work if the epithet used is how the narrator primarily identifies that character. Which is why it's so jarring to see a lot of common epithets in intimate moments-- because it conveys that the main character is primarily thinking of their lover/best friend/etc in terms of their height or age or hair color.
