more volta do mar thoughts,,, as i develop a kim pov au fic with skills
so got some feedback on my thoughts of what the in-game Volta do Mar method was, and so this post is mainly about what I think the Volta do Mar *skill* is.
We can see Kim's skills through the ZA/UM merch of his jackets, and interestingly enough his VdM stat is boosted through both aerostatic jackets, the orange (pilot) and the black (crew).
"It’s a sentimentality, but Kim feels centred when wearing this jacket. He leaves it on when he sits down for Volta."
The pilot jacket desc. establishes that Kim does perform Volta do Mars, and cements the fact that he's wearing revolutionary cosplay. He gets a +1 bonus from the orange jacket, the description of which seems to imply feelings of freedom. I don't think it's exactly the *opposite* of being grounded, but more like Kim is meditating and temporarily forgetting about his problems and turmoil, which we can expect from the ritual as something to rid the mind of chaotic pale-radiation.
Now, what I find more interesting is not only the VdM boost on the crew jacket, but the fact that it's +2, more than the pilot jacket. It's also a revolutionary cosplay, but the description makes a point of saying "Originally worn by mechanics and engineers during the Revolution, most of whom went down with the aerostatics they served on."(something to think about) It also "reminds Kim of Seol, though he’s never been there. For special occasions only." (also interestingly this jacket has the thought cabinet print on the inside)
The combination of the VdM and the mention of Seol is interesting to me, because Kim is not, well. He hasn't accepted his status of being half-Seolite, and because of the racist society he grew up in, is what I call internally racist (though probably also just racist). He takes pride in not being connected to Seolite culture.
(Disclaimer that I'm not saying that mixed individuals are obligated to interact with their race's culture - I'm half Asian and part Mexican but don't really interact with Mexican culture - just that Kim specifically makes a point about it. Kim may not be connected to Seolite culture but he still faces the racism for it.)
So to combine VdM, a concept that seems to be about freedom and calm, with Kim's racial identity seems like an oxymoron to me. I think this conflict *is* what the description is referring to, "Distant enemy of himself." The in-game use of the crew jacket honestly doesn't seem to have any connection to this description (if you didn't get it, kim wears it if you complete a hardcore run and start another game in hardcore, but there's no difference in the text.) The extra boost may be building on the pilot jacket's one, so that for some reason Kim gets a second VdM boost for being reminded of Seol, despite the internal conflict.
I don't have a solid idea for what Kim's Volta do Mar skill could be used for. One option is that the skill is about being connected to oneself, because he's fascinated by the revolution and aerostatics (+1) and then his heritage (another +1?), because if he doesn't usually like the fact that he's half-Seolite, he would only wear it when he wants to be reminded of it. And then another fact that takes some thinking is that it's a physique skill and not a psyche skill (as long as you believe that he and harry have the same skill categories) I think some interpretations have been VdM being used as the voice of restraint (sometimes to a detriment) or direction, or sometimes emulating the Volta do Mar poetic ritual with the same intent. I've been working on my Kim skills for months, and they've changed a lot overtime, and I still expect at least VdM to change course.
#i mayy have mistranslated volta do mar in my prev post oh well#i didn't do any extra research or thinking time for this post tbh#its just what i have from my rambling discord channel and whateer i found for the other vdm post#corvid creates#kim kitsuragi#disco elysium skills#disco elysium#volta do mar#need to analyze it more since my au is kinda about losing oneself innn something idk

disco elysium utilizes its mechanics for storytelling and makes witty references to them in order to affect the player more, that's obvious
here's some of my favourite moments of that:
kim literally won't let you end the dialogue despite there being [Leave.] . he can override game mechanics because you fucked up so much
the classic. you are manipulated on the level of your character - you need to be extra careful with klaasje because you are given faulty options to begin with.
the multiple times the game makes fun of harry running everywhere. players go fast, people dont, it's noticable
visual calculus overriding a fail after the tribunal
multiple times skills will be frustrated at you if you fail or just are bad at them:
and times they are so fucking sure they are correct:
there's a lot more of course, like the talking in lists with dolores dei, and thoughts in particular have a lot of those! the white mourning thought increasing zoom out distance, for example. i might have a closer look at them later but those above are just more direct and dont require taking apart, really

decided to make some custom skills for myself, these are psyche ones
Obsession - finding some fixation that gives you will to live and indulging it at all costs.
Masking - adapt, transform, mimic. Camouflaging weird parts of yourself to be more likable.
Le Rèveur - imagination bordering on maladaptive daydreaming
Moral - empathy based on (in)justice and subconscious analysis of situation

I did a run with maximum stats from the beginning because I wanted to see all the passive checks, here are some of the rare and interesting things I caught:
After you mark the ligature mark as non-fatal wound, Shivers will confirm that you're right.
Mysterious pair of eyes!
According to Pain Threshold, you were shot at four times before and hit twice.
A heroic level Conceptualization check: ENGAGE CAPS LOCK.
Another cool Shivers check
H/E, PI and Half Light getting a little too excited about attacking The Pigs
(In the moralist quest line) High-level Rhetoric knows some German(or in game, Walder)
This one is actually quite famous, in the dance scene Revachol tells you about her doomed fate. Requires to pass a godly level check of Reaction Speed or Rhetoric or Half Light.
A legendary level Half light check tells you that Klaasje wants to hit you.
I can't believe PI is still saying this even after I internalized the homosexual underground thought.
Glen...?
They're talking about Klaasje. I don't know what to make of this Conceptualization check.
Elechem tells you to drink even in this situation...good thing we have Volition.
Volition sounds so worried in this line.
I can't believe Rhetoric calls me an idiot when he's the one who makes me say stupid things a lot of times🤣
