So I recently bought the RDR2 Original Score Soundtrack, and something that really stood out to me is the art inside of it;
The art for the original soundtrack and the original score are telling an interesting story: the original soundtrack shows us Arthur on the cover itself, and in the inside of the vinyl, are the gang in their prime riding together - all of the iconic imagery we're used to see during the game.
However, the art of the original score is almost exclusively Micah related: the cover is a clear contrast to the original soundtrack (black and white vs. colour, villain vs. hero), but what I personally find most interesting is the art inside of the vinyl:
From what I've seen, the internet seems to be in disagreement over who Micah might be shooting; while it makes sense it is Arthur given the story of the game, seeing him in a pitiful position feels out of character.
To me, this art looks like Arthur's portrayal from Micah's eyes; there are 6 graves, possibly to represent past gang members who died during the game? (aka Sean, Kieran Lenny, Hosea, Molly, and Grimshaw).
Micah was not responsible for all of them, but it was his mission to try and get cut as many gang members as he could "loose."
There's also 7th grave being dug (represented by the shovel), presumably prepared for Arthur, given their relationship and his ending.
After Guarma Micah sees Arthur as weak, he stops being scared of him and replaces him as Dutch's right-hand man, which is the reason why Arthur seems so weak in this art compared to Micah, he is reduced to a pitiful sick man who has to beg for mercy, nothing more than another link to cut loose so Micah can advance.
Reading Anne Rice seems to be a constant cycle of: This is one of the best things I've ever read. This is one of the worst things I've ever read. I'm bored. I don't want to do anything else but read these books. Whatever. This is problematic and offends every minority that exists. Educate yourself. Get a job, stay way from that character! You're weird. You're a creep even by this genre standards. You're annoying. You should die. This is so unnecessary. Why, just why? Stop repeating yourself, you have said that same thing 954869048 times now. Get to the point! This is so exaggeratedly descriptive. This is so wonderfully descriptive. I can see it so vividly in my head and love it! It feels like I'm experiencing it myself and not in a good way, make it stop! Laughs. Cries. Chills. Depression! Autism! BPD! ADHD! Dyslexia! Everyone gets a DSM condition! And some that aren't even discovered yet! And they're all amplified by vampirism! Nobody gets medication or therapy, though! The Catholicism and Catholic guilt are heavy on those people. The existential crisis is real. Whoa there, great discussion. I can relate. I hate this POV. You're my favorite character. You're my favorite ship. These two should kiss. Okay, I get it, Armand is the most beautiful creature that has ever existed. This is poetry. Those two should NOT kiss. This is so creative and imaginative, I love it. You're contradicting yourself. Nevermind, it makes sense. I take it back, I like this character now? Okay, you're just making random stuff happen without any explanation at this point? I don't even know who is who or what's happening anymore. Reads page again. Are you okay? Please, do therapy, you certainly have a lot of things you need to work on. What the hell is wrong with you? Your brain is so... something. Added stuff because I had more thoughts lol.
Crying, crying, crying at how you can get this line in Disco Elysium if you convince the lieutenant to eat the sandwich.
A lot of people have seen this exchange:
Fewer people have seen this option appear:
And if you choose it?
Goodbye. I love them so much.
Sadie and Charles friendship headcannons bc they barely interact in the game and that’s a CRIME:
Charles carved her a little flower when she first came to camp. He didn’t say anything just a simple gift.
Sadie always goes up to Charles and tells him “I could take you in a fight.” And he always just nods and says, “I know Mrs. Adler.”
Sadie will complain about anything to Charles. Charles get into it too. One time Sadie was saying some awful shit Micah said and Charles literally gasped and said “That bitch!”
Sadie overheard Charles say that he forgot how to braid his hair, and so she got a couple of the girls together (Karen and Tilly especially) and they had a whole night of it.
One time Sadie was being harassed in a bar and Charles (can’t handle his alcohol, has a temper, and respects women) kicked the guy square in the dick and screamed at him that no one talks to his friends that way.
They are both WAY too competitive. They once played FFF for 3 days STRAIGHT because neither one would accept a loss. Arthur eventually had to intervene.
Sadie calls Charles the most insane nicknames. “C Smitty,” “Carls Smoth,” and “My guy Chucky” being notable ones. No one else can call Charles a nickname.
Armand really picked the worst guy to turn into a vampire and run away from.
He’s an investigative journalist and you’re a chronically online iPad kid. The moment you log in to play Minecraft, Daniel has his Gen Z assistant notifying him.
Armand: "I had never made one. The idea repulsed m— repulses me."
Armand when Louis leaves him alone for two seconds with Daniel:
no! healthy relationship will kill the character! he needs an unhealthy codependent romance with a side of power imbalance to live
pressed up against your longing
So zaum is releasing: a disco elysium remake for phones with a completely different art direction, that everyone already makes fun of
What zaum cancelled: a solid spin-off elysium game with new mechanics and an interesting premise, something with the same vibe that made people love disco in the first place
What. Wh. Who makes these dumbass business decisions
