#is he actually deep down sorta starting to burn out on being in the rcm so he's just not bothering with the dresscode anymore?

When i started disco elysium i thought, well, obviously Kim is normal and regular (I would later be proven wrong), so his clothes must be what regular cops wear in disco elysium world. But then we see other cops and they’re wearing like... black suits. Uniforms. And THEN it turns out that what Kim is actually doing is closet-cosplaying as a pilot of an airforce that doesn’t exist anymore. This is like if someone came to work in complete Civil War reenactment costume. Why does he do this? Because he just wants to i Guess

#that's why i think people overshoot a bit when they portray kim as the Ultimate Professional. he goes to work in cosplay #there's that one dialogue option where harry's like wait if cops wear uniforms why isn't kim in uniform #and the skills tell you ''he's in plainclothes VOLUNTARILY not because he lost his uniform like YOU IDIOT'' and like... #why actually did kim feel it prudent to turn up to the case in his little pilot outfit? is his cup of caring just THAT empty by that point? #is he actually deep down sorta starting to burn out on being in the rcm so he's just not bothering with the dresscode anymore? #more of my disco elysium impressions #posts by me #i mean we all Know the pilot cosplay represents his broken dreams and/or the little ways he vents his rebellious side #it's like listening to speedfreaks. it's these completely harmless little acts of nonconformism that don't ever actually bother anyone #so he gets to feel the cathartic thrill of being a little bit narsty without actually like... rebelling. (bit sad innit) #but this post isn't ABOUT that it's about him GOING TO WORK IN COSPLAY
