3sentence, Ambrosius & Revachol, "let the light in"
(x) (the whole world is a zone of imminent entroponetic catastrophe, Ambrosius will be anointed Innocence within one year of Le Retour, returning is an entropolic concept, so is light apparently, et cetera)
"Let the light in," says this guy Saint-Miro on the radio, day in and day out, it's quick and catchy, "let the light in", it makes people feel nostalgic for the liminality of summer mornings they never quite lived. By mid-April, "let the light in", the perfect slogan, is the go-to feel-good mantra of every depressed schmuck in Revachol, which is to say, a good eighty million people living their lives as a synecdoche for the world, and then they do just that. They let the light in, that sacred and terrible thing, they open the blinds and the intermediate frequencies, and all the terrible lost colours of the past come out, and everything begins to be again.

the problem I tend to have with disco elysium video essays is that the video essayist is simply not insane enough about it, I have at least four tumblr mutuals who could make the same point but better and with quotes from 5 different routes, an untranslated estonian novel, a book by hegel and a manifesto by some obscure russian anarchist no one has ever heard of

It is actually remarkably easy to reconcile the pale as a metaphor for climate change, the pale as a metaphor for nostalgia and the pale as a metaphor for apathy. Because the secret is these things are all caused by capitalism, which the pale is also a metaphor for.

I'm reading Sacred and Terrible Air rn and I had to do a double-take when I saw this illustration
"The hull of the ship bears the beautiful inscription “Harnankur” in the Graad script."
Yeah no that just says "pfkifiogk" in Georgian 😭😭

Disco Elysium: Revachol is a city unlike any other. A great city, a turning point in the history of the world. A great mass of connected tissue, a piece of meat divvied up by major world powers after the single most devastating war in recorded history. It is a city of shining lights and bullet-pocked concrete and rain-slick streets. There is no city in the world with more contrasts than Revachol. The broken, magnificent, disgraced former capital of the world. A great sky on fire, reflecting off broken glass. Revachol the Monarchy, Revachol the Commune, Revachol the Administrative Region where all forms of government have failed. Revachol the Resolver, the answer to the great burning questions of history.
Pjõl: Hey so someone blew up Revachol. The whole thing. Yeah it's gone now. This is gonna be mentioned exactly one time by a secondary protagonist using it as leverage in an argument with his girlfriend. Don't worry about it.

Mesque's fleet of world enders, black like a pot, appears on the horizon of Revachol. In the fashion capital. They're [...] asking, what' that ominous chimney smoke over the ocean, like storm clouds?
In the leather-seat-scented rustle of the radio, they talk about an atomic weapon that was dropped on Revachol three hours ago. The female announcers voice is calm and beautiful.
Hi I just finished Sacred and Terrible Air and it did irreparable damage to my brain + In '72, year of the nuking of Revachol (if i remember correctly), Kim would have been 64, Harry 65 and I will never recover from this knowledge
