Skilltober #24 - Composure
(redraw of an image from last year and damn do I like it a lot more than the original. Also yeah I know it's not a Composure Check but. That's how Kim rolls ok)
Every time someone draws Kim as a 20-something Korean idol with said idol's hair and muscles and a broad back I want to scream. Kim is a man in his 40s with a receding hairline, wrinkles and is very thin because of poverty, bc the socio-economic context in which he grew up. Like all Disco characters, his physical appearance speaks about his context, his life and the political situation in the region.
Extra hate points if he is portrayed as a Seolite who misses a country with which he has no cultural ties. Kim's central theme is that all the nationalists, xenophobes and racists in Ravachol treat him as if he were a migrant, even as if he had just arrived as well as humiliated by his fellow cops and superiors, treating him as a teenager and keeping him in juvenile police as punishment not only bc of xenophobia and racism but also under this patriarchal idea of seeing those it oppresses as children. Here we can easily point to the western colonialist and patriarchal fetish of viewing asian people (and global south ppl in general) as underage or eternally young, which the fandom unfortunately does not escape. Surprised that they then draw Harry like an actual 40s or even 50s years old white european guy? not really bc you can't escape the imperialist mindset.
Kim is born and raised in Revachol, he feels as much a part of the it as Harry does. I think there's even a dialogue where La Revacholiere tells Harry that Kim is part of Revachol and loves him too.
yet deeply despise him to the point of obliterating everything that makes him Kim Kitsuragi and everything Disco Elysium is about. If they can't stand how the characters are (and how they are tied at their core to the game's story and what the game talks about and its politics) maybe these people should go play a game about a stereotypically attractive, Euro-white teenage girl looking for her neighbour's cat in the alps.
kim: [holding imaginary phone to his ear] "hello, i am just calling the 'good-boy' office today to let you know that harry will not be there as hes acting very bad and thus is not allowed in the building" harry: [on the ground, sniffling, tears welling in his eyes, in pure sadness and frustration, and whispering to himself] "i am a good boy..."

HAPPY GHOST SWAP @playghosttrick!!! Disco crossover, you say... I see... cockatoos. Majestic cockatoos. And a very disco crossover. Nothing like it, baby!
PS
I’m gonna be real with you Cuno, I don’t think you can reclaim that
I started a new disco game and he wasnt there. Straight up just didnt exist.
King??????? Where are you
real world analogues to concepts in de are so interesting to me. like, i think it’s fascinating to compare, say, the pale & climate change. it becomes easier to understand the resignation that most of the characters feel towards this enigmatic, world-destroying force. also, it’s really funny to put harry’s deranged dialogue into perspective. imagine being kim, & the guy with amnesia who you just met says stuff like:
“wait so, who is this ‘jesus christ’ guy? oh. uh huh. i think my ex wife was named christine. do you think there’s any relation?”
“so, this is a ‘car?’ i don’t think i know what that is. oh wait, like from nascar? i like nascar. ah. i see you’ve got a V8 cylinder formation here. nice.”
“just so you know, i think i might be the reincarnation of karl marx. real quick, by the way, what is money?”
oh man, I love that game where you play an amnesiac and team up with a detective in a cool jacket to solve the mystery of Who You Are, and solve other mysteries along the way.
What was it called again?
bonus:no text
I dont have my ipad for a couple days but i had to get this idea down somewhere
I think my favorite thing about society as a whole at the moment is the fact that I've never ever heard one single soul on planet Earth ever speak a word of anything other than the upmost adoration for Kim Kitsuragi. I believe Kim is the thing that binds all of humanity together. No one dislikes Kim. According to all previous accounts and all historic documents, it is an impossible task for a human being to not be in love with Lieutenant Kitsuragi. The straightest man in existence, given the chance, would immediately drop to his knees and propose to Kim on the spot. What I am saying is that if there were to be a religion formed based on the worship of Kim Kitsuragi, I would join it. Also I trust it is canon that Harry "giggles+kicks feet" whenever Kim complements him because how could you NOT?
Curse you, Kurvitz, for creating the most likable character ever. Seriously, I can't think of a fictional character that I would want to be friends with more.
I drew Kim as a pony and I couldn’t stop 😦
