all the jean fuckers in the fandom should be wary as jean is on antidepressants and thus takes him about forty minutes to actually feel anything reach his dick
disco elysium is the most game you could ever get out of a game cuz you can do virtually. anything inside it. the limit is how much embarrassment you can take
To me he's just as flawed as every other character in the game. I think about his character a lot.
*inhales* Ramble incomming, feel free to agree, dissagree or ignore.
Kim's just a guy. A gay man who lives in the city he was born in but is treated as someone who never belonged there. He had to fight hard for his position in the RCM, and to archive that he had to repress parts of himself. He's so against being seen as Seolite, that he immediately tells you that he doesn't even know the language, so don't even ask. Because of working in Juvie for so long, he also had to act against his age.
He's no saint, he's a cop. And he certainly likes to use his power. He took the spinners of a person, and he claims it's because they were cool and he wanted them, but maybe it was actually because he just hates teens. It's just like he wanted the teens who are standing at the Kineema to loose their jackets. Just to show his authority over them. And speaking of authority and things like that - he cares about ranks. He cares about his own rank. Because it took him a lot of time and work to get it. He doesn't really appreciate that Harry refers to him as "Kim" the entire time. But he's not saying much anyway, Harry still is his superiour after all. (Though, depending how you play Harry, I don't think Harry is aware of that / is a bit ignorant about it bc he doesn't care about ranks that much.)
He's a nerd - a gearhead - he loves his car, and racing, aerostatics and machines... he calls hinself Torque Dork. What more do you need to know? He's a nerd. You could probably get him to info dump sth about car engines or something - if he trusts you to not make fun of him for it.
And he's a dork in general, he thinks Harry is hilarious. He can be a professional and serious person when he's expected to, but he definetly has sass and can get very silly. Dark humor very much included, but I think that comes with the profession.
He's a matter of fact type of person. He says facts are just to be accepted as such. I think that might also be a copeing mechanism. "The world is a cruel place - it just is what it is." kinda thing. And given their work and all that, it makes sense. They see the worst of people. If he'd let those things closer to himself, he'd most likely not be too different from Harry or those other officers who fall into the "he has seen worse". The entire thing with "let's just get back to work" also is a way of copeing. Don't think. Just work. Just function. Like the world is asking you to. Emotions? Don't deal with those.
He seems to be a very... uh... loyal? person. He just met Harry and Harry already feels that this man will have his back no matter what. And as someone else stated here on tumblr; that's a Kim thing, not a RCM thing.
Also the game tells us he's very repressed. And I think it's really funny that you get the "Shit Compressor" thought after he tells Harry to get his shit together. Kim has been compessing his shit so hard, he's master class.
Anyway. I probably missed things, but I struggle with not repeating myself at this point, but that is my read on Kim. Tbh, if someone disagrees with sth I say here, I'm very open to hear it. It's always really interesting to hear from other points of views and understandings.
