Currently fighting in the trenches (writing a paper) and I open my locket (phone) to stare longingly at the picture of my dear sweetheart who's waiting for me at home (the 2 hours re:dracula episode I haven't had time to listen to)

have you perhaps a list of readings you would recommend to understand better disco elysium/sacred and terrible air? i wouldn't know where to start and your posts are interesting so worth trying to ask :)
aw thank you! Well, I feel like I’m not really that well-read, and the order I read philosophy/history/etc is all over the place lol
If I had to recommend some reading, there is this essay about the pale, that I think is essential to understanding Elysium. :
as for books, I would say Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher could be a good starting point. And I think it would be worth to read something about these topics:
neoliberalism, capitalism
communism - marxism, history of socialist countries
russian nihilism
christianity - dispensationalism
The devs have said that they were influenced by Hegel, Marx, Slavoj Žižek, Lenin, & they also said they used to be anarchists so I would say reading some anarchist text could be interesting too if you want to really dive into it (idk, Emma Goldmann for example)
You can find a lot of these writings on these websites:
complaining about the degree i chose myself ( season 1 episode 1 )
just finished a big project which will weight ⅓ of the final grade. honestly i'm not satisfied with it at all; i think it could have come out much better, but now alea iacta est. it's not entirely my fault tho. it was a damn group project. conclusion: i hate group projects, i hope it still goes decently.
I love how defensive of Yorkshire Clara has been so far this season: "Well, I'm a simple Yorkshire lass Fleet. Obviously I'd never seen more than two people in a row before coming to London. We have cities you know!"; "Again Fleet, there are cities outside London, even in my oh so remote Yorkshire. Can you guess the name of the city after which Yorkshire might be named Fleet?"; "It's a real place, you can get the train there!" She's always ready to defend Yorkshire with sass and sarcasm, even when nobody was actually criticising Yorkshire or even referring to it at all. I support her so much.
Here’s my very first drawing of the year (it’s 2:40am in France ksksk) and what was better than drawing Jeremy Bradshaw as the first drawing of the year?? Nothing! So here’s Jeremy celebrating 🫶💜
I’m sorry to have not posted in a while so I have plenty of drawings to post to catch up, but here’s a new way of drawing I’m experimenting with being using 1 alcohol marker, 1 coloured pencil and 1 white pen! (I also use 1 highlighter to have a background skskks)
Lots of love everyone and I hope your year will be full of good and happy things 🫶💜
here's what I think the inside of the Nancy Sinatra would look like, not featured is the small bathroom in the back :) I have another drawing of the ship coming if I don't explode during finals.
