I read a great fanfiction last night and I felt that inspired that I drew this ! It's a rewrite of a norvegian tales and I deeply loved the tone of the story and the dialogues (and the love interest was just so cute Malphas nobody could make me hate you)

I read completely by random while scrolling under the tag Original work on Ao3 because I like to say what people write and yeah great surprise !!

More illustrations planned !

A lot of new things this month, ready for YOU! Yeas, you!

And if you've been waiting for a new public update, it's time to enter that blooming chamber and see what the *ashes* is waiting for you in there. (Beware difficult choices, dramatic discoveries, and daring plans--that Matt is on fire!)

HELLO AGAIN WITH A NEW HYPERFIXATION, look at my Oracle I spend the day designing her.

They both come from the Visual Novel " criminally hours " (you can find it on itchio) created by @criminallyyoursvn and this is amazing work - like legit one of the best visual novel I played in 2025.

For my Oracle's (which is the superhero name of the MC) costume we had a few info given in the game : it's skin tight, it's purple and there is an eye symbol so I went a bit wild (and slutty) (very slutty). I got inspired by 90's superhero as the costume was previously worn by the mom of the MC and that type of leotard design was popular in comics (and also very hot - very important).

I also kept in mind that it whould be very easy to put on - and fast. Theorically I imagine that the MC could wear the leotard underneath her clothes and just put on the boots, the mask, the hood and the vest.

I don't have a design for her civilian identity yet but it'll come soon enought... ACTUALLY NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT SHE DOESN'T HAVE A NAME.

I have more fanart planned but here's the first batch !

And again thanks for the creator for their great game : ty sosososososos much !!

CONGRATS FOR THE RELEASE OF THE FULL GAME @softmagenta !!!

It was such a good game - so rich and so interesting visually ! This is the kind of VN that I will remember for a long time. The universe is also so compelling and so damn rich - so many little element that make it so nice to replay the game to get everything - especially with the underground robot-making industry and I would love to say more but it would be spoilery.

(also the romance. Zu's my lil mew mew. I'm marrying him.)

For MC design, I got inspired by their "original" design, I know it's probably made so everyone can see their character but we look like a lil pink flame, it's so adorable, I couldn't not implement that.

Play the game it's awesome, u get to kiss the robot :

[cryptidfishy]

they're special to me 🥺

in desperate need of a fic where kim and the skills talk. like where harry introduces kim to the skills or something like that i just really want them to interact directly 😭😭

an excellent example i read recently is GOOD MORNING VOYEUR ACCIDENT by mlemlo in the first chapter. it was very brief but harry directly names one of the furies when talking to kim and it reacts in his head

it made me so happy and i really want to read more about this so anyone please 😭🙏 recs needed

are you a lover of cult classic rpg, Disco Elysium? do you find Kim Kitsuragi and Harry DuBois’s relationship fascinating and moving? do you miss an era of greater popularity for DE? then i present to you…

Kim Kitsuragi/Harry DuBois Fanfic Recommendations for the Despairing Disco Elysium Fan!

i love disco + kim/harry fics, but like many of you, i have read the classics many times over. thus, i have compiled a list of non-classic, hopefully unknown to you kimharry fics that i personally love and that may pique your interest. organized in order of least to most hits. enjoy!

palewalker by chernobylslug - this is the only incomplete work on this list. at 744 hits, i feel it flies far under the radar! the prose is lovely and the premise is unique, with Harry being the vampire this time instead of Kim. i would be surprised if it were ever updated again (it’s been a year since it was posted) but it’s always a possibility, and certainly worth a read! rated E, but no smut as of yet.

Hunger by PositivelyVexed - another super underrated vampire fic, this time with vampire Kim. it has some of the best mutual attraction/pining i’ve seen—what i love about kim and harry is that they are two societally ugly men who are absolutely feral with lust + respect for each other, and this fic executes that incredibly well. rated M, which people interpret differently. here, it means that the smut is strongly implied, but never outright described.

Canid Instinct by twiaerose - rated E, and one of the rare ABO fics in disco fandom spaces. Harry is an omega and Kim is an alpha, which plays more to their personality traits than the other way around, in my opinion. a LOT of mutual pining and some good allegory!

Intricate rituals by randomisedmongoose - i can’t believe it’s been a year since this was posted…it feels like just yesterday that it had 50 likes and was on the first page of kim/harry fics! amazing exploration of kink, disability, trauma, and mutual attraction. very much worth the read. rated E!

Objects of desire by OrangeGaytor - alright, this is technically not kim/harry, but it’s close enough. very funny and surprisingly sexy, though not to the degree that smut fics usually are. a quick, funny E!

Stress relief by nevermindgrantaire - we’re getting into the territory of more well-known but not fandom classics; but i still think this one is underrated. an amazing depiction of kim, and some of the funniest depictions of the skills as well. and of course, mutual lust and attempts to curb that lust. this will be a theme for me. rated E!

Ham Sandwich by itsGERALD - CRAZY TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS ONE! that being said, this is one of the most innovative vamp fics i have ever read, and fits the gritty and ultimately disgusting world of kim and harry so well. if you can stomach the gore (which even i sometimes can’t!) it is absolutely worth the read. i think it should be a classic, but that’s just me. rated E.

The Personals Section by itsGERALD - some fandom members have (rightly) complained that many fan depictions of harry are sober, hot, and clean in order to get past the nasty stuff. this fic proves that you can have a hot romance while staying true to the fucked-up person that harry is. and boy, is harry and kim’s relationship weird - weird but good. my favorite of itsGERALD’s, and rated E.

The Erotic Adventures of Raphael Ambrosius Coustea by trr_rr - i also strongly feel this one should be a classic, and am kind of shocked it’s not. a funny and again, surprisingly hot crack fic about harry’s fantasies of getting dominated by kim. something revealing and bare about reading something so self-indulgent for “raphael”! rated E.

Shaving by itsGERALD - another great, quick PWP. they are desperate for each other! rated E.

The Gentleman Caller by ISKANDER_TM, Laura Kaye (laurakaye), Refrigerabo - this is the only multi-chapter fic on this list, and also has by far the most hits. however, multi-chapter fics usually get more hits as they’re updated, and i feel that proportionally, it is at the same level of popularity that the oneshots have been so far. this is a great vampire fic (sue me) and has my favorite trope ever: having sex WHILE pining. rated E, 8 chapters and around 50,000 words.

Bonus: Author Recommendations!

itsGERALD has been mentioned a few times here—they are one of my favorite authors in the DE fandom, and i think every fic they wrote is worth at least one read-through, if not multiple. they have 26 DE works in total and are incredibly talented, insightful, and creative. to me, they are a classic author!

nevermindgrantaire has some of my favorite underrated works. their whole series SHIVERS is worth checking out (a continuation of Stress relief!) and they have tons of other juicy fics in the DE space - 16 in total.

PositivelyVexed has written at least one of your fandom favorites. you’ve seen their popular stuff, so go check out their whole library - i promise it’s worth it!

if you’re still here, thanks for reading! these obviously aren’t NICHE or UNDERGROUND but i think they are underrated and not classics. i’m sure i’m not the only one who gets tired of sorting by kudos and then skipping a whole two pages when i’m looking for new fics. hopefully this was a good way to circumvent this! either way, i loved doing this. thanks for sticking around!

[cryptidfishy]

Made these but I can only use them while texting my one Disco Elysium playing friend so I'm putting them here for y'all to do with as you please

[cryptidfishy]

Does anyone have any good fic that study Shen Yuan as SQQ ( a bit like the " your sister found your body " comics )

or fic where Binghe comfort SQQ ?

or simply SQQ crying ?

(here's said comics the art is amazing, the artist captured it so wonderfully I wanna eat it)

[cryptidfishy]

hehe it's my first time getting 1000 notes, thanks everyone <3

Casper reminds me a bit of Miette, that's very babygirl of him ( he wasn't kicked, probably just teased by the player )
