furina being sunday and robins cousin is so true to my dream that when she meets everyone else they think shes adopted

on god also it fits into my hc where Misha's visual design seems like he could be from Fontaine (Lushaka is water planet so not that far fetched tbh).. and he looks an awful lot like Sunday & Robin too. so in my head they have a family tree that looks like this

[ruvviks]

The Dobrynin family is a corpo family through and through, rooted in Arasaka and Orbital Air going back by several generations; though their powerful position within the corporate world ends with the children of Nadya and Matvey Dobrynin. With Vitali and Daniil fired from Arasaka and Kang Tao respectively— the former indirectly getting his parents fired, too— and Roksana having refused to set foot within a megacorporation from the start, the family begins crumbling apart at the very seams when clashing interests lead to grudges, betrayal, and pointless acts of revenge. ↳ read the unrevised fic here if you're interested!

More sketches of Q! Now with scars!! I sure do love drawing him, I really should make a proper reference sheet for him one of these days lol

Ft. Mikhail, Chloe, Maloof, and Truman Zanotto!

The bit with Truman is a bit of backstory. An explanation for why Q doesn't show up in the second game (not that I needed one, but I like to fit my OCs into existing stories when I can).

The reason why Q wasn't at the Motherlobe is because he had left with his old mentor for a chance at furthering his career as a Psychonaut. However, his mentor had "accidentally" let slip his identity as a trans man in the wrong company, which put him at high risk. Truman wanted to recover him sooner, but the whole deal with being kidnapped and his brain being swapped out for Gristol's put it off a bit longer than he intended, but never fear! Q was recovered shortly after all that was settled (along with his old mentor and a couple of other Psychonauts being fired for discrimination and unjust treatment). Unfortunately, it does mean he's still technically an intern, and he's in need of a new mentor.

Anyways, enough of that, meet Q's parents, Albert and Kristall! Both of them work for the Psychonauts.

Albert is one of Compton Boole's kids. Not only is he gifted with Zoolinguism, like his father, but he had spontaneously developed enhanced strength (hence why he's fkkn T H I C C). He's got a boisterous way of speaking, which is actually quite entertaining to listen to. Great at story-telling, and will often use Projection to aid in the stories. He loves his family (although some, he's not too happy with), and he especially loves his wife and his son. Albert wears gloves because of sensory issues.

Kristall is a Grulovian woman with no relation to Raz's family. When she was a young girl, she suffered a mysterious accident that replaced her eyes with pure crystal and left her blind. She's only ever told Albert what exactly had happened to her, but she says she'll tell Q when he's older (although he's insisted many times that he's quite old enough, thank you very much). Kristall is gifted with Geokinesis and Clairvoyance, although the latter was more out of necessity since she needed to see. Quite a bit unhinged, but very loving and endearing. She likes to crochet, and she was the one that made Q his sweater.

Both were a little thrown off when Q started identifying as a boy (mainly because he was so young when he did), but they're very supportive of him and try to help him as much as they can. Unfortunately, being Psychonauts with specialized powers (especially Kristall), they're sent out on missions quite often and are unable to give Q the attention that he needs. They always try to spend what little free time they have with him, call as often as they can, and make sure to send plenty of packages and letters to him.

They are. So close to retiring early just so they can spend what remains of Q's teenage years with him.

That's enough rambling for now. Hope yall enjoy!

i love my mutuals so much <3

[idontmindifuforgetme]

Do you have any poetry recommendations? The poem poll made me realize that I like. ONLY know Iraqi poets. Like the only non-Iraqi poet I can name off the top of my head is Robert Frost

i'm literally hooked on poetry. even on days where i can't sit down to read a book, i try to consume at least one poem a day bc it keeps me sane. it actually does. i recommend signing up to one poem a day newsletters--those have been a game changer for me. as for recommendations, my favorite poems change every week, but current faves (whose authors i regularly go back to/are a good starting point) would be:

elegy for my sadness - chen chen (Who invented the word / “ennui”? A sad Frenchman? / A centipede? They should’ve never / been born. They should’ve seen me / in Paris, a sad teenage / exchange student. I was so sad / & so teenaged, one day my host sister / gripped my hand hard & even harder / said, SOIS HEUREUX. / BE HAPPY. & miraculously, / I wasn’t sad anymore. / All I felt was the desire to slap my host sister. / See, I was angry in Paris, which is clearly / not allowed. One can be sad in Paris (I was) / & one can be in love in Paris (I was not), / but angry? Angry in Paris?")

a pity, we were such a good invention - yehuda amichal ( "A pity / We were such a good / And loving invention / An aeroplane made from a man and wife / Wings and everything / We hovered a little above the earth")

like a small cafe, that's love - mahmoud darwish ("I say to myself at last / Perhaps she who I was waiting for / was waiting for me, or was waiting for some other man / or was waiting for us, and did not find him/me.")

bible study - tony hoagland ("Who knows, this might be the last good night of summer / My broken nose is forming an idea of what’s for supper / Hard to believe that death is just around the corner / What kind of idiot would think he even had a destiny?")

mother and child - louise gluck ("Why do I suffer? Why am I ignorant? / Cells in a great darkness. Some machine made us; / it is your turn to address it, to go back asking / what am I for? What am I for?")

america, america - saadi youssef ("We are not hostages, America, / and your soldiers are not God's soldiers... / We are the poor ones, ours is the earth of the drowned gods, / the gods of bulls, / the gods of fires, / the gods of sorrows that intertwine clay and blood in a song... / We are the poor, ours is the god of the poor, / who emerges out of farmers' ribs, / hungry / and bright, / and raises heads up high...")

the duino elegies (seventh elegy respectively) - rainer maria rilke ("Not only the devotion of these unfolded forces, / not only the paths, not only the evening fields, / not only, after a late storm, the breathing freshness, / not only approaching sleep and a premonition, evenings... / also the nights! Also the high summer nights / also the stars, the stars of this Earth! / O to be dead at last and know them eternally, / all the stars: for how, how, how to forget them!")

the endlessness - ada limon ("How was i supposed to feel then? About moving in the world? How could I touch anything or anyone without the weight of all of time shifting through us?")

psalm - adonis ("Open my memory and study my face beneath its words, learn my alphabet. When you see foam weaving my flesh and stone flowing in my blood, you will see me. I am closed like a tree trunk, present and ungraspable like air. Thus I cannot surrender to you.")

the war works hard - dunya mikhail ("The war continues working, / day and night. / It inspires tyrants / to deliver long speeches / awards medals to generals / and themes to poets / it contributes/ to the industry / of artificial limbs / provides food for flies / adds pages to the history books / achieves equality / between killer and killed / teaches lovers to write letters / accustoms young women to waiting / fills the newspapers / with articles and pictures / builds new houses / for the orphans / invigorates the coffin makers / gives grave diggers / a pat on the back / and paints a smile on the leader's face.")

Saw a cute mourning dove today 🕊️🎀

ok i dont think this is anything related to the watchmaker and all that stuff, but i think its insane that the Family turns traitors into memory zone memes because the concept of the memory zone memes is just that they were created by the true Dreamscape and from the emotions of those within the Dreamscape

this was from the emoscape with Mr McCoy in Dewlight Pavilion, where he was ordered by the Dreammaster to turn his siblings, who were apparently selling information to the IPC about the Family, into memory zone memes, but now i'm wondering just how many people got turned into memory zone memes for being a traitor

I would have said too that maybe the Family - trying to seek out the traitor and the killer of the first Oak Family Head - framed the Watchmaker and possibly turned him into a memory zone meme as well, but the Family is trying to search for the Watchmaker so that's less likely the case. But I just love seeing how fucked up actually the Family can be AND getting more information about the Dreammaster since there really isn't much of anything
