The theory that Toritsukas mother is dead is I think most possible of all since it may be connected to his powers, but maybe she isn’t. She just abandoned him right after giving birth and left him with his father, who wasn't a good parent either or just couldn’t care less about his child (or worse, he didn't want a "schizo" for a child) and dropped him off at the temple not so long after. So it gave Toritsuka a sense that he's so unlovable that even the only people who were supposed to love him unconditionaly, didn't. And he supresses it so so hard, and tries to find love so so bad but the only type of love he knows is sexual becouse he saw that on the internet but it just doesn’t ever work and it just confirms his believe that he'll never experience love of any kind.

Does Saiki talk to his friends?

Short answer: Basically no.

Long answer:

According to author commentary, Saiki wasn't initially intended on being a silent protagonist, he was supposed to speak up occasionally. But as the series went on, Asou never really found a good opportunity for Saiki to say anything and so he just ended up making him essentially silent.

As a result, Saiki generally only "speaks" to the audience and a small subset of characters using his telepathy.

Here is a pretty complete list of characters Saiki actually "talks" to:

His immediate family

His grandparents after the power reveal

The Psychickers (Toritsuka, Aiura, Akechi)

Neighborhood kids (Yuuta, the little girl with the dog)

Various animals

You, the audience (he's narrating)

With everyone else, Saiki exclusively communicates using only body language, pointing, and facial expressions. We can see how dedicated he is to his silence when he's trying to convince his friends to not go on a deadly volcano vacation but only throws brochures at them and crosses his arms in an X shape instead of actually saying a word or two to them.

Interestingly enough though, we can tell by Toritsuka's performance that Saiki's friends are used to him saying "yare yare" / "good grief" all the time. Saiki is actually shocked that his friends genuinely think this is normal behavior for him. How does that happen?

Well, it's quite likely that Saiki unintentionally says "yare yare" / "good grief" "out loud" with his telepathy even when he's not "talking" to anyone.

We have two precedents for Saiki's telepathy not being 100% watertight: the manga-exclusive suicidal musician chapter where a song getting stuck in Saiki's head makes it play in everyone else's, and the second light novel where the evil Saiki comments that our Saiki's thoughts leak out everywhere.

This would explain why Saiki's friends are so shocked by him speaking directly them, even if they're sure they've "heard" him speak before – because he exclusively "says" "yare yare" / "good grief" all the time but never joins conversations or talks to them directly.

So after using up a month's allotment of quotation marks, my best answer to this question is really....

Medium answer: Saiki only uses his telepathy to talk to people who know about his powers, neighborhood children who wouldn't be believed, and various animals. Aside from that, Saiki only uses facial expressions, pointing, and body language to communicate with others, though it seems he unintentionally says "yare yare" / "good grief" quite often in a way other people can hear. His "troublesome" line near the end of the series is the only time he's ever spoken directly to his non-Psychicker friends.

A-T-2 362 Psychic TV - Just Drifting

Psychic TV was formed in 1981 by Genesis P-Orridge and Alex Fergusson from Alternative TV, Peter Christopherson joined after Throbbing Gristle disbanded. Force the Hand of Chance was their debut album and Just Drifting was subsequently released as a single. As I've mentioned before The Damned's Captain Sensible had had a number one record in the summer of 1982 with a cover of Happy Talk from the 1949 musical South Pacific. Cross-genre cover versions are common, they existed long before punk, Blood Sweat & Tears, The Beatles, Jobim, etc have been covered in every style of music, the practice is as old as popular music itself. In the UK the artist Jeremy Deller formalised cross-genre cover versions for Guardian readers who had been led to believe brass bands were 'cheesy'. Deller now told Guardian readers brass bands were of cultural significance akin to illegal raves... What Deller unleashed and Captain Sensible's Happy Talk have in common is novelty

Where am I going with this? Psychic TV's Just Drifting isn't a cover of a previously existing song but like the title of TG's 1979 album 20 Jazz Funk Greats it points at and cynically celebrates the banal. Do they love or loath ballads or is it a bit of both? Cover versions like the ones mentioned above are usually commercial rather than artistic endeavours, Psychic TV on the other hand are shady, Is it sincere or is it subversion? Like those kind of mind game confidence trick bollocks politicians are so fond of nowadays, I can't tell if this MP wants to properly fund the NHS or dismantle and it sell off! It's different from The Specials with their references Frank Pourcel/Klaus Wunderlich/James Last like motifs, Jerry Dammers uses the music which would have been found in many British homes (and now charity shops) and creates something new with it... Psychic TV is what you get if your parents listened to the Manson Family album when you were growing up at home. I've been avoiding reading a GPO's biography and Cosey Fanni Tutti's but I may have to. They claimed that listening to this record would transport you astral projection fashion to 'The Temple Ov Psychick Youth' (I wonder if anybody asked for their money back?) which would make Just Drifting a sort of gateway to The Temple Ov Psychick Youth, that goes well beyond a mere ballad, or does it? funny is what it is, contrarian consumerism

Early Psychic TV were called Holophonic recordings which adds another layer of intrigue and mystique or smoke and mirrors to the product, there's a big sticker on the sleeve of Just Drifting that reads "FIRST SINGLE TO INCLUDE HOLOPHONIC EFFECT." I'm sure content and the holophonics would have been conceived of as one thing http://www.acousticintegrity.com/acousticintegrity/Holophonics.html

From the back of the sleeve: "This is a Zuccarelli Holophonic TM recording made with the assistance of Mike King. This system gives 360 degree sound or Three Dimensional sound. For best effect place speakers opposite each other and sit in the middle, or use headphones. Close your eyes, play quite loud and try and read the pictures. Walk through the rooms of The Temple Ov Psychick Youth."

"If you sit with fear, a star too far, almost lost in this storm of life. A blazing ghost can become the host, and you breakthrough to the room of dreams."

Psychic TV also had ambitions of being a video-band that released product on VHS. Psychic Television put out First Transmission as a 4 hour 2xVHS boxset in 1982. Like the album and single it was an initiation

AH I FORGOT TO REPLY TO THE POST AFTER WORK WOOPSIE SORRY MEOW MEOW !

Anyways ur SOOO RIGHTTT !!! Miko def has like whole photo albums in her gallery just dedicated to her friends. One for Chiyo pics and one for Mera pics and one for TERU pics and then one for the psychickers. The only reason she doesn't have a separate one for saiki is bc he never lets himself get pictures taken unless they're in a group in public and he can't get out of it without using his powers. But most of the time the photos he's in are awful bc he ends up moving last minute and ends up looking like some blurry monster and he likes it that way like hell yeah I'm not gonna be perceived today bitches !

Chiyo pics are always somehow like God awful in her eyes she thinks she's so like not photogenic and that every angle of hers is a bad angle she's always criticizing the pics and making Miko take multiple over n over and deleting them n stuff (which she never does bc she thinks Chiyo slays in all of them). And sometimes Chiyo will let loose a lil and end up playing this lil photo game with Miko where they have to make the ugliest silliest faces on purpose for the pic and it's all fun and silly until Miko tries making a photo collage of Chiyo for her birthday to share it with all their friends and it's just silly photos of her nostrils flared and eyes crossed ☠️ poor Chiyo is horrified but nobody even cares how silly she looks thankfully. ALSO THEY DO THAT GIRL THING WHERE THEY STEAL EACH OTHERS PHONES TO TAKE A BUNCH OF RANDOM CONSECUTIVE PICTURES OF LIKE THEIR FOREHEADS FACE EYES CHIN CEILING FEET LEGS ETC LIKE ANYTHING AROUND THEM JUST TO SPAM THEIR CAMERA ROLLS

As for Touma, let's just say if u thought Saiki looked like some blurry monster then ud be horrified by Touma pics bc somehow he's always looking at the camera and some fucking how there's always some kind of creepy shadow on his face or his eyes are dull and lifeless and he quite literally looks unsettling. Funny thing is u'll never catch him accidentally blinking in any of the pictures either somehow... Don't ask how.

As for Tori, he likes making the ugliest and silliest poses imaginable and is completely unashamed in fact he thinks it makes him look cooler too. He unironically does a duck face and double peace sign (like the fucking bisexual loser he is) and he purposefully makes that fuck boy face where u bite ur lip and wink and put your hand up to your chin ugh Miko actually is so annoyed yet amused when he pulls that shit. It's so fucking overdone and yet she never grows tired of seeing him pull that shit bc it's so fucking hilarious for some reason. But at least she can count on him to be unafraid to make the silliest ugliest faces ever. It's funny bc sometimes she just has him smile or like be natural and then ends up criticizing his ugly expression and when she shows the photo to him he's like "I wasn't making a funny face tho" and she's like woops never mind guess thats just ur face 🤭 and he's like HEY ! all indignantly. And ur so right that he takes a bunch of photos at first he's like reluctant and acts so annoyed when Miko forces him to take selfies of her but then he gets into it bc 1 he gets Mikos permission to eye her up he'll take any excuse and 2 he actually likes taking photos and finding the right angle and lighting like damn he absolutely loves seeing Miko look stunning in the photos he takes and praise him like it makes him so happy it makes the photoshoot more enjoyable. He takes pics bc Touma probs has really Shakey hands and all his photos are a lil blurry or he takes very like serious shots that aren't dynamic enough for Miko they just got different sense of tastes and styles yk and kusuo refuses to be a camera man so the job falls on Tori automatically. But the psychickers all have fun taking pics eventually and love each other's faces and expressions bc they're so different <3

aiura def has a photo wall with hundreds of pics of her and her friends..

everyone is in a few but its mostly the psychickers and chiyo...

I do really like how the Psychick Cross is also 8 pointed

Hey so like. chaos magic in the discordian tradition is a Venusian mystery cult. right? the 8 pointed star of chaos magick and the 8 pointed star of Ishtar. Obviously there's a focus on Erisian worship in Discordianism but it's worth remembering that the riddle of "to the fairest" has an answer.
