BE VIGILANT. I LOVE YOU.

I got a new tattoo of one of my favourite DE quotes! I'm very happy with it, I finally have my disco tattoo!!

I just wanted to take a minute to talk about why “Of all the creatures I’ve met, you are the kindest.” Is my favorite disco elysium quote.

DE has a lot of fantastic quotes but that one really sticks out to me because of the other options. You can comment on the phasmids beauty or terrifying nature, but to me kindness was her most significant trait. While certainly beautiful and her existence mildly terrifying, her entire being shined with friendliness and warmth.

We navigate this world through Harry, and in the small town of Martinaise, one that’s joked about how hopeless it is, we encounter kindness, hope, and humanity alike through the characters and the community built by them. The game holds these themes very close which is why I love this quote so much. Harry is used to encountering the awful things that life can bring so him choosing to comment on the phasmids kindness made the most sense to me.

Idk at the end of the day I was just fully immersed in that interaction with the phasmid and every quote from it plucked at my heart strings. She truly is one of the kindest characters I have ever had the joy to meet and she is hands down my favorite character in the game. I love Harry, Kim, Cuno, the speedfreaks, Lena, and so many more, but she’s special.

Belle: I can't believe you assassinated the King!

Rumple: Well, 'assassinated' implies it was politically motivated. I killed him because he was a dick, so technically I murdered him

Belle: That's not better!

Too many thoughts for one brain, too many anxieties for one heart.

The reason Goncharov (1973) is such a hit is because it allows Tumblr to unironically participate in its national sport:

It’s okay to still get sad about something you thought you’ve healed from.

I felt his presence before I saw him. And here he was.

The Lestat figment of Louis’ imagination took the form of the night he was killed in the Season 1 finale in this episode, bloody slice in his throat and all. What’s noteworthy is that while Louis imagines “Dream-stat,” as the cast calls him, threatening him, the look he gives Claudia in the truck is heartbreakingly tender. It’s as if this really is the ghost of Lestat and he’s missing his vampire daughter from the other side. (x)

Rumple: Don't worry, I have a few knives up my sleeve.

Belle: I think you mean cards.

Rumple, pulling knives out of his sleeves: No, I do not.
