yeah he tends to do that a lot

OKAY SO UH HI!! I seriously do not have a single idea on how to introduce my OCs properly, therefore I'm just gonna go into random bullshitery and hope it works!

The OC on the drawing is Jeremy!! I doodle it this morning and I think it looks okay! Jeremy is the main character of my book series and I cherish him dearly ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و this drawing isn't specifically linked to any event that happens in the story, but I thought he'd look cool with a sword ^_^

Please ask me something about him, I seriously suck at introductions ( °ヮ° ) ?

THIS IS SO META!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah so, a person who knows nothing about fashion decided to make a fashionable character's design. But I think it's alright?

B...b-blonde Elias Bouchard..... I mutter out, looking down at my hands, trying to figure out if I posses the power to do it.

Why isn't the house md fandom on tumblr more obsessed with thirteen. She's slowly dying of a fatal genetic disease. She did body shots off a stripper in front of her boyfriend. She took her boss to a lesbian bar because his best friend said he was sad. She went to jail for euthanizing her own brother. She's one of the only people who genuinely enjoys being around house. She's even bisexual!

Everytime I read a book on my phone instead of reading a physical copy I feel like a wizard that's looking into their crystal orb. Like yes, bring me wisdom my glowing rectangle. I crave to know what happens to these characters you chant of.

GOES INSANEEEEE

I don't play CRK, nor do I know the lore, but my friend loves this ship so I drew it for them ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

minkowski doodles because i got bored while doing nothing (i have a global essay draft due) and because i love her <3

when it comes to disco elysium, one of my favourite things within the game is the usage of lungs as a motif of love and the representation of this through dolores dei. it’s an incredible way of showing it, as when you love someone or something it almost seems to sustain you, becomes the air that you breathe.

however, another thing i noticed is that an overwhelming majority of the characters smoke. smoking is famously damaging to your health, more specifically to your lungs - almost like smoking is a metaphor for the way these characters show their relationships with others.

some prime examples are:

• harry du bois, who smoked heavily before losing his memory (and after, depending on player choice), a clear instance because of dora and her effect on his life and relationships for years after she left

• the smoker on the balcony, who is never seen without a cigarette, and is in an unloving sexual relationship with someone who can never understand him or truly know him at all

• klaasje amandou, who is also never seen without a cigarette, believes that she is at fault for all of her relationships collapsing and has a skewed view on what it means to love

however, my favourite example is, of course, kim kitsuragi. yes, he smokes as he enjoys the control he has over his addiction and the “cool factor” it gives him is satisfying, but i think there’s a more specific reason there - kim is so repressed that he consistently walls himself off from relationships.

kim himself says that he smokes one a day as he goes over his notes. to me, this says that he is causing minor, daily damage to his interpersonal relationships that builds up more and more over time. the fact that he does it specifically when going over notes says a lot to me too - that his work is what he’s using to push others away.

he does break this one a day rule, however - in the ending where the player chooses not to recruit kim. harry leaves kim behind. they shake hands, and as soon as harry turns away, kim lights a cigarette, a visual representation of the damage caused by another partnership cut short.
