There are a couple of lines in Psychonauts 2 that I think about quite a bit. I’m pretty sure these have already been done but if NOT, then. Uh. Spoilers for Psychonauts 2 I guess?

First off- one of Sam’s lines. There’s actually a lot about Sam that I think could have been put to better use—specifically a conversation about how psychic powers aren’t always controllable, giving parallels between Compton, Dogan, and Maligula and MAYBE Raz. But the line I SPECIFICALLY think about is a joke one.

“And if you use enough syrup, you can’t taste the difference between chicken and snake. Eggs is eggs!”

In Psychonauts, eggs are used as a metaphor for brains. Like, this isn’t some vague thing, it’s extremely front and center. Eggs and brains are directly linked. And, it should be noted, that Sam actually puts an entire nest—INCLUDING BIRD EGGS—in the, uh…. ‘Pancake mix’.

So, snakes and chickens and syrup, right? Chickens, generally used to describe someone who is cowardly or otherwise not the type to actually do anything, syrup being sweet enough to distract from other tastes, and snakes being, well, people who are not trustworthy.

And then there’s Nick Johnsmith, aka Gristol Malik, who is a well liked non psychic that Truman calls a lick spittle—someone who fawns over others easily. In other words, a snake (egg, brain) that acts sweet (and syrupy) enough to seem like a chicken (egg, brain).

Do you see. Do you SEE THE VISION HERE.

Anyways onto phrase 2. Said by Gristol Malik.

“He took a poor, sad, country girl and turned her into a mighty warrior. And I’m going to do it again.”

Now, usual context will say he means he’ll bring Maligula out of Lucy/Nona. I don’t think that’s incorrect, per se.

But one of the things that really, REALLY snapped Lucy/Maligula was the death of Marona, her sister.

And who do we have camping nearby? Why, it’s an entire family. In fact, it’s Raz’s entire family. And at LEAST half of them are psychics.

Gristol already views Raz as a puppet. He only kind of likes him because he’s half Grulovian. And, you know, during the Rhombus of Ruin, Loboto was no longer under Oleander’s employee, so… who wanted Raz’s brain removed? Someone who, oh I don’t know, might have heard about Raz being a powerful psychic that MIGHT have noticed Raz’s rather unique name… or, more specifically, the last name of a circus that performed for the Gzar and his family, famous for water acts. One that, by chance, someone could have known that a Galochio, a family of psychics, recently married into?

And you know, Maligula is older, it’s good to have back-ups, right? I mean, this is the same guy that ACTUALLY pulled one over on an entire spy group of mind readers.

But, hey, maybe it wasn’t a plan to turn Raz into Maligula by killing one or some or all of his family! Raz is kind of pissed right now, and might not snap the way Gristol would want him to. I’m pretty sure murdering, say, Mirtala, his baby sister, might not work in Gristol’s favor when Raz is already against him.

That said… he’s not the only psychic in the Aquato family. And in fact some of those family members aren’t the most on board with the whole… Psychics and Psychonauts business.

Specifically, we have a barely used plot thread including Frazie Aquato and her acceptance of her psychic powers!

I’m sure that, oh say, her little brother dying in the middle of him helping the Psychonauts pick up their messes, when he should have been able to be saved by one of his heroes since he was literally at their headquarters and surrounded by psychic adults, will only have good things happen to the Psychonauts. I’m SO sure that Frazie won’t get extremely pissed at these people her brother looked up to so much. She’ll definitely be understanding and absolutely won’t use what seems to be a family trait of extremely powerful psychic power along with the hydrokinesis in her bloodline. Specifically because she, an acrobat since birth and taught to ignore a lot of the usual fears most people have about safety and the instinct to flee, definitely has a great relationship with her fight or flight mode.

:))))

Anyways I have a lot of thoughts about Psychonauts 2 (I’m not saying I’d do a fix it of some things that bother me, but I do tend to do canon rewrites to smooth out wrinkles as a fun writing exercise/my version of hyperfixation on media and with the time gap between the games there is PLENTY of those in the plot, so uhhhhhhhh) but no one to bother them to, so uhhhhh yeah thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

wow orv was so long *proceeds to start lotm*

[glitterrosesnzz]

thought that won't leave me alone: L/ucifer, during the Eden Era, trying to claim that angels just. don't sneeze. like at all.

so L/ilith challenges him to not sneeze while she induces him- which he fails at of course. he hides behind his wings when he sneezes and then tries to claim that he didn't actually sneeze at all but like. L/ilith isn't believing that shdlfkjsdlfkds

and to add insult to injury. she's using one of L/ucifer's own feathers to induce him.

In light of that post I reblogged yesterday where it turns out that 40,000 words is considered a novel?

To be fair, there are so many worse things you could do whilst in the throes of the most well-justified mental break that anyone on any plane of existence has ever had but also--

Girl, what?

i’ve watched jacob anderson’s iwtv church confession scene so many times it’s now stuck in my head like a song

[caitlynmeow]

this is the sane sister 😭😭

[bear-cubs-art-things]

oh hey since everyone's posting art I figured I'd post my branch doodles from over thr last week or so.

As you can see I changed his hair.

[pocketramblr]

Still can't believe All Might is canonically an orphan, another thing the English translation left out is that the specific word in Japanese he uses suggests he may have had a sibling who was also killed along with his parents. Forgot where I read it, but I was like 🤯 when I saw it.

HE HAD SIBLINGS?!?

[mccoys-killer-queen]

okay

SO

LOOK AT THE DAY I'VE HAD

[thegoldenelite]

LITERALLY, I KNEW KENNY'S WEMBLEY MATCH WAS GOING TO INVOLE IBUSHI. HIS SMILE RIGHT AS MARVEZ IS ABOUT TO INTERVIEW HIM ON WEDNESDAY'S DYNAMITE SAID IT ALL:

[casmustdiee]

okokok HEAR ME OUT‼️ ninjago headcanon jumpscare‼️‼️

maybe it’s because little nine year old me insisted and making the ninja hispanic (istg there was no rep and I HAD TO DO WHAT I COULD TO MAKE MYSELF HAPPY 🥲) and while now i definitely have diff hcs for their races/ethnic backgrounds, i can’t not think of cole as dominican. tell me this man isn’t dominican. like that’s where he gets his dark BEAUTIFUL skin from. (this man is gorgeous to me i swear) i like to think that lily was a proud dominicana and lou was italian- not sure why italian but he’s always given me italian vibes 💀 but just imagine cole gets really frustrated and just yells out some spanish phrases in a dominican accent because while he was too young to learn the full language, he did grasp a lot of it and the accent from lily 😭

*ninja, peacefully going about their day*

cole, out of nowhere, muffed-ly heard throughout the entire monestary: PUÑETA HIJO DE PUTA

edit: it just hit me i used puñeta instead of coño but tbh he’d used both 💀
