"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

Okay so the official English translation of the manga misgenders both Thistle and Mickbell, including by people who should know their genders so it isn't an example of interspecies androgynous readings, so take this with a grain of salt, but I find it interesting that Kabru knows of Shuro as "Shuro" given that that's a mishearing of "Toshiro" that Laios heard and Shuro didn't correct. So either Shuro decided to roll with it as like, an undercover adventuring name, or Laios talked up Shuro all around the Island so that other people knew of Shuro before he had the chance to introduce himself as Toshiro.

open-access academic journal Baltic Screen Media Review released a whole issue on Disco Elysium in Dec 2021

articles include:

Production of Game Making Spaces: Disco Elysium and the game making community in Estonia

Selling Elysium: the political economy of radical game distribution

Disco Elysium as Gothic fiction

The Hanged Rhizome on the Tree: Arborescence and Multiplicity in Disco Elysium

The Object Gives Rise to Thought: Hermeneutics of Objects in Disco Elysium

“What kind of cop are you?”: Disco Elysium’s Technologies of the Self within the Posthuman Multiverse

“Making Sense in a Senseless World”: Disco Elysium’s Absurd Hero

“You Won’t Even Know Who You Are Anymore”: Bakthinian Polyphony and the Challenge to the Ludic Subject in Disco Elysium

production of game making spaces & selling elysium both comment on za/um's decision to relocate to London (& how that sits with the game's radical politics) in ways I think are noteworthy & indicative of the game industry's composition

Are demihumans included in the Dungeon's immortality spells? Or were orcs, kobolds, and merfolk excluded? The Island Lord is totally on board with slaughtering all the orcs.

FINALS!!! | The Locked Tomb (book series) | Megamind (movie) | Calvin and Hobbes (comic)

Palamedes Sextus & Camilla Hect:

they are deeply, insanely devoted to each other. also camilla is a very very good sword fighter, and pal can outthink most people

Megamind & Minion:

theyre autistic4autistic and t4t besties

Calvin & Hobbes:

It’s calvin and hobbes. Come on. It’s fucking calvin and hobbes.

Note: This blog is run & followed by aromantics. Insisting any pairs are ~actually romantic~ will not only cause you to be blocked on the spot, but you’ll be outed as someone not safe to be queer around. No one wants to hear how stupid you look with those shipping goggles on.

The chapter with Namari explaining to Kiki and Kaka that they should not get used to magical healing lest they become overconfident and undercareful, souls can get intertwined(!!!), most healing techniques can't make up for a loss of 1/13th of the body and mainlanders skilled in this way rarely come to the island, and that being scared is good, is placed so well right before the red dragon arc. Like those signs at the entrances to under water caves promising you that nothing in there is worth your life. But Laios and Marcille say no, Falin is worth this. So Laios's plan (in the moment) is to let the dragon bite his leg so that he can swing under the chin.

romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering

Holy shit, they got Voyager 1 working again!

15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.

Incredible!
