married to the worm

the phasmid in disco elysium has to be in the 99.99th percentile of effectiveness for characters that, when i actually interacted with them first, changed my perception of the entire world a piece of media had built up. like DE, pre-phasmid, has some wondrous magical realism kind of elements that appear more as you progress (the existence of the pale and its whole deal, harry’s skills allowing him insight he should not have, etc) that juxtapose some of the more gritty and real aspects (we’re investigating a murder here. and an extremely politically and emotionally charged one at that) but i just feel like the phasmid’s appearance really solidifies that yes, this game does feature serious topics and interactions that are desperate and sad and violent, but oh my god we have to keep going. like oh my GOD we have to keep living so bad. there’s hope and here is wonder still undiscovered by the rest of the world. there’s more to see out there and while we have that we have to continue seeking it out. things can be strange and impossible and beautiful and so sad at the same time and i want to see it all. all bc this big fuck-off insect that looks like a clump of reeds told me to do it for the working class. nods. okay phasmid. okay

ill do a whole lot more than just bite the bullet ill fuck the gun too

Did you know? That the back is made up of terrible and evil muscles that are only waiting for their chance to betray you

Me: i support the fetishistic nature of this content but NOT the mischaracterization

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

had a dream that za/um started selling character body pillows and my sister got me the jeanvic one and i took it out of he packaging and it smelled and felt weird and i was like “what the hell is this made of” and she was like “dog skin. i think it says on the website that it’s 100% recycled dog skin.” and i went to the website and sure enough the jean vicquemare body pillow was made of 100% recycled dog skin. then i clicked the kim and harry ones and those were made of 100% cotton.

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

Our age of plastics is collapsing
