fic where kim develops shivers?
1. do we need this? 2. how badly do we need this? 3. i'm already writing it, please need this.
idea inspo from @zoetheduckling beautiful art: https://www.tumblr.com/bagmanunlucky/779845837859815424/zoetheduckling-my-liege-i-have-been-searching
i'm a writer & researcher, but it's my first fanfic for the characters running through my mind 24/7 since 2019. i flesh out the outline, themes, emotional arc, etc. constantly. focus is shivers, but also viewing skills through the lens of internal family systems (IFS) work. kim is so repressed, his parts need the help of a certain sorry cop to let his exiled parts surface and get in touch with his Self.
i have never been obsessed with something as much as de or kim kitsuragi. if you like a writing style that's been trying to emulate Kate Chopin, Rupi Kaur and Stephen King their whole life, stay tuned!
update for those interested:
i love all the people asking to be tagged when i eventually post it, but i fear i prematurely teased my fic because of how long my research and writing process is. i can't do wip because i don't write chronologically and also i don't wanna do wip cause that seems anxiety inducing. lol if anyone wants to be a fic writing accountability buddy please comment <3
Art Cop
Nick Wilde has come to a newfound resolution. To be the best artist cop the city has ever seen (luckily he doesn't have any competition in that regard)
He often bring his abstract interpretations to the case, getting into the minds of the victims and perpetrators. He will likely come out with new inspiration for his next masterpiece.
Though, sometimes he is his own harsh critic. In moments of low morale he will remark every single defect of an art piece... or someone's whole being. Nothing will be ever good enough for him.
IDIOT DOOM SPIRAL - "When I lost my keys, I lost more than access to my apartment -- I also lost my leverage over humanity. I wasn't a high-concept creative director anymore, I was just some homeless asshole with a premium Sansarique Lickra(TM) tracksuit."
George is probably my third favorite character in the game (and I haven't even completed the ultra-liberal quest yet!), so I had to draw him.
I think if he saw this he'd say, "That shit is so medium-concept I wouldn't touch it with a stick."
"Art Cop" by Pablo Picasso, from his "Disco Elysium period" (1969)

I love my raging; gay, alcoholic, communistic, sorry, art cop, with retrograde amnesia and I also love my sarcastic - says some of the most unhinged things I've ever heard with the straightest face, gay cop
CONCEPTUALIZATION (Medium: Success) – This book doesn’t even have a real twist. What’s inside this story? Is there any deeper meaning, or is it just... baby’s belly button on page two?
YOU – Okay, but does the baby have any internal tension?
HJELMDALLERMANN: THE BABY FROM BELLY BUTTONVILLE – He is the wildest baby alive, the only infant brave enough to lift the gingham flap and reveal... his belly button! A button so central to his being that it anchors the very narrative of this lift-the-flap odyssey.
YOU – Sure, I get that. He’s a baby, and he has a belly button. But why should I care about this book? What’s the emotional journey?
HJELMDALLERMANN: THE BABY FROM BELLY BUTTONVILLE – Emotional journey? What are you? A book critic?
"Actually yes, I’m a *goddamn* art cop."
"No, you’re right, let’s give this a chance. (Keep lifting flaps.)"
"I don’t need flap-based sass from a children’s book. (Close the book.)"
