no but how messed up would it be to KNOW, from the beginning, you were MADE to be "The Stupid One"? like that's the most anyone expects from you. i dunno, i feel like it would seep into everything.
like suddenly i'm second guessing even the most logical conclusions, because I'm just The Stupid One. If it seems logical to me, I bet it sounds dumb to the people who actually know.
Never trying to understand anything, never really trying to think for myself, because what I'm capable of is hardly even thinking, is it?
Assuming that something unintuitive might be the answer, because The Stupid One surely couldn't intuit the correct answer. And then everyone looks at me like I'm dumb. Don't they know which one I am?
But it's fine, right? I may be The Stupid One, but that means there's The Smart One. I can just rely on you. Except when we're given different tasks. Except when you're too panicked to reason. Except when our creator disregards you, too. Except when you give up on explaining it to me.
"You never even try to understand, why are you asking me to explain it?" I could never understand, so why should I even try? I'm just The Stupid One. But you always seem to like explaining, so can't I give you that small comfort?
You do so much for me, as The Smart One. There isn't much I can give you in return, being The Stupid One. If we were made to compliment each other, why does it feel like you're also the important one? The valuable one? The desirable one? Shouldn't we work best as a team? Why does it feel like I'm the dead weight one? The one you're forced to make up for?
But you come to me for comfort when you're upset. I'm there to calm you down. To cheer you up. To keep you company. Is that why I'm here?
But I could never really understand why I was created, right? I am just The Stupid One.
wow. glad i wasn't created in a pair! i'd feel real bad for other guy to go through that

rly insane how half the disco elysium fandom like.. completely fails at understanding even basic messaging of the game that even i got while being really bad at understanding themes lol. like yeah sure i relate hard to harrys mental health and substance use shit, and yeah, i think kim is fun and goofy, and i like their dynamic and also want to see on screen gay sex.
but like.. this is The Politics Game and half of the fanbase has taken from it exclusively "omg my blorbos meow meows babygirls" and seemingly failed to engage w the political text of the story. like ok if you came out of disco elysium and saw a man who is like.. at best 1 week sober from extreme substance abuse that has made him actively suicidal and threatening to others around him, who is desperately in need of actual, urgent help, AND who is a POLICE OFFICER, like, THEE person who absolutely should NOT be a cop, on top of, yknow, that, like, police are bad already??? a man who has canonically committed serious and traumatic police brutality due to this very instability and disregard for anyones safety and has continued to be allowed to occupy this position? and you get an ending in which his co-workers who have basically just been watching from the sidelines being like.. exasperated at him but not actually doing anything about the massive risk to himself and all these civilians safety just going "well, yknow, hes a good guy after all, and he hasnt been getting drunk and waving his police issued firearm at frightened civilians for a whole week, and he sure saw a bug, so, like, just come back to work man" and thought that was a satisfying and good ending...... after all the talk abt copaganda white ppl is the same

(Out of nowhere, you are approached by a familiar lightbulb-headed Cog.)
Ah, it's you, cat. Thinking you're oh-so-slick. Muttering and whispering under those raggedy whiskers of yours... Thinking I am unable to hear it all...
Well, you've simply underestimated my fantastic hearing. You probably want to know the reason why I'm here, taking a 'break' from my incredibly important scientific breakthroughs? It's quite simple, really!
(She gets close, and squints her eyes.)
I know what you are.
Farewell, now!
(She then leaves the way she came from.)
(Spam giggles immensely, covering her face... it always seems like she's giggling, isn't she? This lasts... at least thirty seconds. Longer than usual.)
And I know what I am too, Sparky! You broke through something, that's for sure. Really, broke through...
(She looks down, continuing to laugh nervously.)
You know, I find it odd you Havent tried to bulb blast me into the stratosphere by now. I mean knowing how you acted with Frostbite. Is there something peculiar about me that you perhaps can't quite track? Something about me that you... don't know what I am?
I know, I know, I'm talking to nobody again. But you were there when I had a moment today with the one the only Frostbite The Bravecog. You may be remaining. Lurking in the shadows. Knowing about these thoughts that I'm thinking.
(The giggling resumes, lasting far shorter this time.)
Your brother's a piece of fucking barp, by the way
(She braces for impact for a few seconds, wincing while smiling, before comically looking around to realize nobody's there. She sighs.)
Wow, okay maybe toony superhero show logic doesn't apply in this situation. Cool.
WAIT I JUST FUCKING REALIZED WHAT SHE MEANT but like. Dude if she meant that then what's the point I mean the whole ahh sellbot department barping knows unless you're Really low on the ladder. Heheh... maybe she did mean what I thought she meant.
Oh i'm so fucking screwed. What kind of bitch gets filament fever

"garp let ace die" ace killed himself. nice that you let the entire point fly over your head though. people who blame everyone else for their problems truly want there to be a villian in aces story. ace was his own worst enemy. idk how you guys think "garp let ace die" when ace would've killed himself regardless of who stepped up for him. obviously. because his entire friends and family and even hundreds of people he'd never met stepped up for him and risked their lives for him and none of that mattered. how would garps influence have changed anything? if Luffys didn't? if white beards didn't? ace wanted to die. ace chose to die. ignoring that and blaming his death on everyone else is a disservice to the story oda is trying to tell you.

currently thinking about Booth telling Sweets that he is "living with a woman outside of the bond of holy matrimony" and that's why he hasn't been to confession, because he doesn't want to confess about that right now, and how when he's confessing to his priest he doesn't confess about the whole living together before marriage thing but because he lied to the woman he loved, because he STILL doesn't want to confess about them living together because he would have to stop living with her and he loves her and his daughter and he doesn't want to leave them, but he hates the fact that he lied to her and he wants to fix that as quickly as he can, and how when Brennan goes to Booth's ex-army priest's bar thinking that he doesn't love her or want to marry her anymore, he says "Booth loves you, not being married is a sin to him, I don't think a non-believer can understand that kind of sacrifice" and how Brennan decides to have faith in Booth and how Booth is so terrified that she might leave him and so relieved when she tells him she's not going to
