#I Hated that scene

There are a couple of lines in Psychonauts 2 that I think about quite a bit. Iām pretty sure these have already been done but if NOT, then. Uh. Spoilers for Psychonauts 2 I guess?
First off- one of Samās lines. Thereās actually a lot about Sam that I think could have been put to better useāspecifically a conversation about how psychic powers arenāt always controllable, giving parallels between Compton, Dogan, and Maligula and MAYBE Raz. But the line I SPECIFICALLY think about is a joke one.
āAnd if you use enough syrup, you canāt taste the difference between chicken and snake. Eggs is eggs!ā
In Psychonauts, eggs are used as a metaphor for brains. Like, this isnāt some vague thing, itās extremely front and center. Eggs and brains are directly linked. And, it should be noted, that Sam actually puts an entire nestāINCLUDING BIRD EGGSāin the, uhā¦. āPancake mixā.
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 thereās Nick Johnsmith, aka Gristol Malik, who is a well liked non psychic that Truman calls a lick spittleāsomeone 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.
āHe took a poor, sad, country girl and turned her into a mighty warrior. And Iām going to do it again.ā
Now, usual context will say he means heāll bring Maligula out of Lucy/Nona. I donāt think thatās 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, itās an entire family. In fact, itās Razās entire family. And at LEAST half of them are psychics.
Gristol already views Raz as a puppet. He only kind of likes him because heās half Grulovian. And, you know, during the Rhombus of Ruin, Loboto was no longer under Oleanderās employee, soā¦ who wanted Razās brain removed? Someone who, oh I donāt know, might have heard about Raz being a powerful psychic that MIGHT have noticed Razās rather unique nameā¦ 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, itās 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 wasnāt 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. Iām pretty sure murdering, say, Mirtala, his baby sister, might not work in Gristolās favor when Raz is already against him.
That saidā¦ heās not the only psychic in the Aquato family. And in fact some of those family members arenāt the most on board with the wholeā¦ Psychics and Psychonauts business.
Specifically, we have a barely used plot thread including Frazie Aquato and her acceptance of her psychic powers!
Iām 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. Iām SO sure that Frazie wonāt get extremely pissed at these people her brother looked up to so much. Sheāll definitely be understanding and absolutely wonāt 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 (Iām not saying Iād 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.
#psychonauts#psychonauts 2#sam boole#razputin aquato#gristol malik#I have Many Thoughts on what Iād do to smooth between games specifically#or if I was to do my own adaption#Iām not saying the story is bad or anything! it has its flaws but itās overall pretty good#thereād just a lot of things Iād personally move around#I think the biggest one would be Raz getting hazed#I Hated that scene#and I REALLY donāt like Norma#Iād probably adjust the adult psychonauts a little too#Hollis feels a bit strict against Raz when she seems so lenient to the other interns? idk how to describe it#like Iāve heard before. it made sense that the kids at whispering rock were a little mean but even then they werenāt really that against#Raz overall or anything#but in P2 so many characters just seem so MEAN to him#he just showed up! he literally did nothing but exactly what he was told to do. like. what else was he SUPPOSED to do for some of it?#I donāt even think it was THAT naive to believe that Truman was trusting him. Raz was the only one NOT in the psychonauts officially when#Truman was kidnapped. so like. logically he WAS the person who could be somewhat trusted as an outside source#oh but they thought he was the mole? how. LITERALLY how. even if his family had helped and it was a whole operation. H O W. THEY STILL#S T I L L. would have needed an inside man#ffs#anyways

I feel like the fact theu acknowledged the fact Billy is jewish makes his casting even worst.
They actually went ahead and wrote a bar mitzvah scene just to cast a non jewish actor.

Tony: *has trauma from how his father neglected and treated him his entire childhood and teenage years* MCU: Look how happy Howard is to have a baby! It will definitely heal your trauma, yes Tony? It's everything you need to heal! Me: If you think that seeing someone being happy about having a baby will heal the trauma inflicted after, you are fucking delusional.
As if that one singular moment of happiness was changing anything. Not to mention that men tend to be happy at having sons, which as far as I'm concerned instantly diminishes credibility of this scene. Also it's easy to love something that wasn't born than the child that exists.
It's clear that the trauma they tried to heal was not trauma of being neglected and possibly abused, but trauma of seeing him be killed.
Yeah, Howard says something about fearing to be a bad dad.
BUT HE STILL WAS A HORRIBLE DAD REGARDLESS.
Yes I know they wanted Tony to RELATE to his own father due to their similar feelings, fears and lack of experience about parenthood.
BUT IT STILL MAKES ME MAD HOLY SHIT.
youtube
"I thought my father was tough on me and now looking back on it I just remember the good stuff". *rage* AAAAA! He neglected you!
"No amount of money ever bought a second of time" I don't believe he ever said that! It sounds more like something Tony wanted Howard to say but never actually heard from him. Was Tony trying to change the past by saying it? Maybe. That's the ony explanation I can accept.
"Smart guy" "He did his best". HE DID HIS BEST MY ASS.
Sorry if I have no sympathy for bad parents. Tony did such a good job because Howard sucked ass. That's the only good thing about this.
YOU HEAR THAT HOWARD?! THANKS TO YOUR FUCK UP MORGAN HAD THE COOLEST DAD EVER WHO LOVED HER AS A PERSON!

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point
(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)
Have a nice day !
you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. š¤ it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...
(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")
all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasƩ and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.
(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise į( į )į)
as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). š honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.
(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#gentle spoilers but y'know. just in case#lost in the book with nightmare before christmas#hajimari no halloween#most of the kitchen scene was jade messing with the firsties and that was so delightful that i didn't think til after#that you'd think sebek would have made some kind of reference to lilia 'i lost my tastebuds in the war' vanrouge's quote-unquote cooking#ah well. jade being mean is more than entertaining enough#looking forward to more of it tomorrow!#god. lilia and idia though.#lilia is like. genuinely idia's best friend and neither of them have any idea#and idia keeps doing that 'ha ha what if we were friends out of game too? what if we met offline? jk jk jk uNLESS...šš'#and then he immediately chickens out because he's so convinced that crimson will hate him if they ever met irl#(meanwhile lilia is just like 'my online bestie is so cool :) la la la')#they are both so stupid and i love them so much#i've just realized that i actually do want them to find out each other's identities#because idia doesn't just go to school with his online bff#he ALSO goes to school with his online bff's extremely supportive and extremely socially-inept kids#idia is going to get invited to dinner at diasomnia and it's going to be SO awkward#silver is going to give a long formal speech thanking him for being a stalwart comrade and trusted warrior brother to his father#as sebek stews in jealousy that idia got to fight by lilia-sama's side >:(#while idia sits there like 'all i did was link him a video about lane control for his character class'#malleus will make such an effort to learn literally anything about online gaming and he won't understand a word of it#it will be SUCH a disaster and i very much do want it now

The dog days are over.
[First]Ā PrevĀ <ā-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#The childhood flashback is one of my favourite scenes in MDZS and yes I am disapointing myself in how little I am covering it.#If it is any consolation...I'll be bringing JYL's piggyback scene into another comic later on.#There truly is something so specific and yet resonant in the way our bonds as children feel so deep.#But the world doesn't stay as small as it does when you are a kid. The problems you argue about get bigger and more serious.#You still hold so much love for this person despite how much you want to throw hands with them.#To have such a complicated history with someone and then fall apart...You always think you have time to heal the wound.#Why wouldn't you! You've never had anything but time with this person. A brother not in blood but in true and genuine bond.#And then the fucker dies! It's horrible and sudden and the last words you exchanged were cold and awful!#What do you do with those dead end feelings? What do you do but grieve bitterly and angrily?#There is no resolution for all the love you wanted back. There will never be an opportunity to bridge the gap between you.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. Because you thought you had more time.#If anyone dares say Jiang Cheng didn't love WWX I'll be the first to fire up the powerpoint presentation on why he absolutely does.

he's an apostate. he's a grey warden. he's on the run from the law. he's bonded body mind and soul to a spirit of the fade. he practices one of the rarest and most taxing magical diciplines known to mages. he's a cat dad. he was put in solitary confinement for a full year. he saves lives daily and asks for no payment. he's a massive bitch. he's personal friends with the hero of ferelden. he hates the church. he's hopelessly in love with you. he writes and distributes his own manifesto. he was forced to kill his own ex boyfriend. he doesn't see a way out. he's fucking blonde.
#BIOWARE BRING HIM BAAACCCKK#anders#anders dragon age#anders da2#da2#dragon age#couldnt sleep last night so i watched a youtube compilation of his romance scenes. god he breaks my heart#'to find the healer look for the lit lanterns.'
