before I played Disco Elysium, I thought Harry du Bois was a co-worker in the precinct you work at and, reading about him being such a fucked up guy, I was literally planning on avoiding him as much as possible in my playthrough... colour me surprised when I found the badge and found out the main character's name

Is it really a novel set in ancient Rome unless it has references to cannibalism?
Marius: weren't you thirsty? Didn't you want water? Then drive the Germans down from this hillside, force them back to the river that they're now crossing, and then drink from its water mixed with the red blood of our enemies! Massacre the Germans for once and for all!
(In-universe, Marius is deliberately skiving off work so he can drink way too much wine and ramble about how he won the Cimbric Wars to a couple of nine-year-olds. Admittedly, the nine-year-olds are having a great time!)
strike plot in ysb really highlights the beginning of alvaro's crazy. like, yes some things are diego's fault bc he's constantly trying to sabotage him but also the way alvaro goes about handling these situations is his own doing.
the strike was avoidable, he just needed to put his employees first over his obsession with conquering the latam market. he loses sight and control of the situation as soon he loses bea's unwavering support. and everything that happens after is in angry retaliation towards her or about her.
alvaro sees her joining the strike as a personal attack against him when in reality bea is, with great difficulty, doing what she believes is the right thing to do. before this, she'd been on alvaro's side and helped him negotiate deals and supported him in his goals. his dream of expansion was also hers. but tamarindo demanding they fire 40 ppl pushes bea to see what alvaro won't admit---that this deal is not really in their best interest.
as soon bea thinks and acts on things opposite of his wants and needs, he becomes angry. even when she tries to find solutions or evidence of diego tampering against them, it's not enough to get back into his good graces. he can't forgive her for what he sees as a 'betrayal' and 'abandonment'. despite the professional setting, with bea he takes everything personally.
on one side, tamarindo deal and the strike shows the flaws of business expansions and how these corporations see people as numbers to be cut in order to see how well the other party takes orders. on the other, it shows how much alvaro depends on bea and his refusal to admit that. for bea, it's the beginning of her long-term arc on becoming a strong willed person willing to stand up for herself and those around her.
Girl help i just finished watching this telenovela from 1999 and now i can’t stop listening to this song. Added english lyrics to this video for funsies.
You're one of my oldest internet friends and fr You are so cool, funny and kind. I'm so glad to have met you SO many years ago and still hang around (even if it's just liking your posts/ig stories or writing nonsense in your ask box or your dms).
It's really hard for me to express these things in words but know that I appreciate u a Lot!
<3
I appreciate you a lot as well, it's very hard for me to keep relationships with people, so as you said, even with the small interactions, still talking to you after all these years is amazing!!! Makes me incredibly happy to be able to call someone so kind and talented my friend. I really really appreciate you a lot as well, more than I can actually express, more than you'll ever know
It is so BEYOND. when jimmy tells Kim he’s gonna pick up lalos bail. And it’s seven MILLION DOLLARS. and all of a sudden she’s about to cry because she’s so scared. And he says. In the worlds most. In the worlds most, insanity, of all time, he says. Don’t worry Kim. I’ll be fine.
the thing about the letter in the original vs the spanish adaptation is that armando clings to his truth that the letter doesn't reflect him bc he didn't write it. it's incriminating bc of his association with mario and the list of instructions. if mario, his best friend, said all that then armando must feel this way too.
in the YSB however, its alvaro's own words against him. he's the one saying he can't keep pretending to be in love with her, he's the one saying every morning is torture---it's not. we know that. but gonzalo is on to him about his true feelings and by choosing to lie to him and himself (bc he has yet to admit that its become real to him) he seals his own fate in bea's eyes. no letter means bea doesn't doubt anything. the things gonzalo says after only help support everything alvaro is saying.
letter or no letter, its all bad for betty\bea but alvaro doesn't have the excuse of 'i never said that' bc he in fact did.
