Moderation Will Kill The Patient

I need more wholesome Disco Elysium character interactions with kids.

I don't know how to explain this, I know its out of pocket and especially in this fandom, but listen:

Harry playing tag or hide and seek with a group of kids in the middle of an investigation as a way to distract them.

Trant carrying Mikael back to the car after he falls asleep during a party they attended.

This is very niche, but Jean becoming Cuno's guardian/tutor during his junior officer training (their dynamic is running around rent free in my head, like a sort of bedgruging uncle)

I think Kim doesn't like kids? I cannot remember, but regardless I have this image in my mind of him writing something in his notebook, a little shy kid peeking at it, Kim noticing and tilting it towards him to see 😭

Feel free to add or correct these ideas as you like!

I’m a strong believer in Armand turned Daniel because he couldn’t stand Daniel hating him.

hi..............................

getting compliments from npcs on my horse is so satisfying; yes, I brush him before and after every ride, he gets endless pets and treats, I love him, Thank you for noticing <3

that old man is once again occupying my every waking thought

i need to think about AMC Armand for a minute. About his passivity. I find it frustrating as a viewer, but I’m also deeply compelled by it. His most infuriating trait is what makes him so interesting. When he says “I could not prevent it,” I don’t think that he sees that as a lie. It’s not the truth, but I think he believes it. He’s so powerful and could at so many points take agency in the narrative, yet he chooses inaction. He lets Lestat destroy the cult, lets the Paris coven hold the trial, lets Louis kill them after, lets Daniel uncover the truth. He accepts whatever happens to him and makes it his life regardless of whether or not it’s what he wanted.

Claudia is a foil to this nature. She’s not the most powerful, but she always takes an active role in her own story. She makes her own choices even when they put her at risk. It’s why I don’t think the two of them ever could have gotten along; their natures are inherently opposed to one another. Even their similarities drive them apart—they both hate the reflections of themselves that they see in one another because of how their mirror reacts to trauma.

polyamory could have saved them

finding out they apparently filmed daniel killing that guy in the s2 finale but it got cut has me falling to my knees in anguish i dont CARE that it looked bad because it was raining too hard or whatever the hell he said RELEASE THE FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!!! for me
