attention staff: the name of the device is the Psi-Particle Counter. referring to it as the "Psiger Counter" leads to unclear communication and a poor work environment

Fear Classes: UPDATE, and Epithets

Hey all, we have progress!

I've spent some time fiddling about and fine-tuning the diagram, and after some thought (and some help from @strawberoniii with Buried in particular), I have reached a stage where I am happy to move forwards.

First of all, lets get the new diagram out of the way:

(ITS ALL INTERLINKED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Patch notes:

The Colossi and Object/Landscape epithets of the Vast have been fused into a Colossi/Spaces epithet

The Buried was split into a Physical and Intangible epithet, and connected into the broader chart.

The Corruption & The Web (Spiders) were connected to the broader chart

The Vast (Insignificance) and the Desolation (Emotional Loss) have lost their connection

The Lonely moved from Human to Developed.

Formating

Now then, epithets.

As these are more specific than their general categories, I will be using these in my cataloging system going forward. However, the names in their current form are a bit, well, long. Below are my in-progress replacements:

Slaughter/Desolation amalgam -> The Razing (RAZ)

The Slaughter (Distinct) -> The Slaughter (SLA)

The End -> Terminus (TRM) (The software im using doesn't like having END in its entries :/)

The Extinction -> The Extinction (EXT)

The Desolation (Distinct) -> The Devestation (DVS)

The Desolation (Emotional) -> The Desolation (DES)

The Dark -> The Dark (DRK)

The Lonely -> The Lonely (LNY)

The Vast (Colossi/Spaces) -> The Falling Titan (TTN)

The Vast (Insignificance) -> ??? (Realy don't have a clue here, sry)

The Buried (Physical) -> Choke (CHK)

The Buried (Intangible) -> ??? (Again, sry)

The Corruption (Rot) -> The Crawling Rot (ROT)

The Corruption (Insects) -> The Hive (HVE)

The Web (Spiders) -> The Great Spider (SPI)

The Web (Powerlessness) -> The Mother of Puppets (MPT) (I know its long but its good)

The Hunt -> The Hunt (HNT)

The Eye (Watching) -> The Watcher (WCR)

The Eye (Being Known) -> Beholding (BHL)

The Spiral -> The Spiral (SPR)

The Stranger (Uncanny) -> The Stranger (STR)

The Stranger (Not Knowing) -> I Cannot Know (ICK)

The Flesh ('Just Flesh') -> Viscera (VSR)

The Flesh (Dysphoria/Dysmorphia) -> I Am Not My Flesh (NMF)

Ok, phew. Sorry for the long list, theres a lot of them. Crikey.

Almost all of these names were taken from, or sourced in, records we have in the Archive's, or broader ICASO's possession. Once again, I invite you to pipe in for ideas if you have any you're particularly passionate about.

Well.

Now, Biscuits, then, the catalogue, after that the world! Or, greater Oxfordshire. Idk.

Bye!

Razzy Writes: March

i like to think when frazie and raz go to donatella abt the intern program dona is still in that shifting mindset where shes like oh yes of course my babies being able to blow up their enemies sounds very good :) you can join that program get big and strong sweetie!!

and frazie is like [stands here in invisibility and zoolinguism specialty] oh uh yeah mom. sure i'm totally interested in the powers that can smite my foes! for sure!!

raz is staring between the two of them like oh my god

its a work in progress

[stwonk]

Okay this is a random ramble (again), but I wanted to share some of my personal favorite silly headcanons that I enjoy.

-Baby Raz (very young, age still measured in months type young) had a big problem with just...not blinking, and loved to stare at his siblings (especially Dion, which freaked a young Dion out, a lot.) He also had a crazy jaw strength and there has been multiple times Donatella would walk in to see Frazie's or Dion's fingers trapped in their younger brothers mouth, frantically shaking their hand to get it loose to no avail (it's a miracle he didn't get shaken baby syndrome)

-Dion needed braces ages 13-15 and hates when anyone brings it up (and cringes everytime he sees a picture of him with them on.) Donatella personally found his braces cute (but she just finds every one of her kids cute, no matter how they look)

-Every sibling had to grown into something on their body. Dion had to grow into his big bug eyes (people need to realize that Dion has big fucking bug eyes and I love it), Frazie was her very big hair, Raz was his head (actually that one is still in progress), Mirtala (also still in progress) has very long legs and Queepie has the same problem Dion has of having to grow into his big bug eyes.

-Augustus, when Dion and Frazie would argue (in a genuine manner and not normal sibling bickering), he would give one of them boxing gloves, one of them focus pads and would supervise as they get their anger out well not hurting each other. This actually made both siblings realize they love boxing, though Dion takes it more seriously then Frazie does.

-Each child has a full name (based on some other headcanons I've seen), and each of them have different options on them. Dion's full name is Dionyus, but he just uses Dion since most people just don't pronounce it right and it annoys him, so Dion it is. He isn't embarrassed or hateful of his name and quite enjoys it, even if only his mother and father use it. Frazie's full name is Francesca and she hates it, though she does think it's a pretty name, she doesn't see herself in that name and uses Frazie insistently, and only let's full named when in trouble or by Dion trying (and successfully) annoying her. Raz is obvious, as his full name is Razputin. He loves the name and likes both names. Mirtala is in the same boat as Raz, she loves her full name and her nikname, I don't really know what Queepie's full name would be but I do think he isn't old enough to really form a opinion on it (especially with everyone using Queepie).

Here's another page of art (and headcanons)~!

I actually swatched out all of my markers in another sketchbook, so I was able to use the whole page just for art. And also discovered that I should still have a tester page so I can test how different colours look blended together. Even without it, tho, I don't think I did Bad. It's all a step towards progress :)

Closeups of the pictures and descriptions:

Chloe Barge on their Lev Ball, along with my headcanons about them on their clothes. Awe lawd they comin'-

Baby Bobby, with Loboto [capital writing] and Sheegor [lowercase writing] talking about him offscreen. I'm not crazy happy with this piece, and I don't know if I'll keep this part of the lore I've made up for him, but I do like the perspective and composition.

Raz in Lili's skirt, with Lili's approval. Once again, my headcanons for them are snuck in.

Sometimes, a Psychonaut just wants to look pretty in his girlfriend's clothes~

I hope yall enjoyed the art. I know I'm enjoying making it!

ok. so. this contains spoilers for the movie gladiator 2 (2024). i will probs add more bc im sure im forgetting smth. tldr - theres not a single historical fact in sight god bless ❤️

- they were so confused abt the message of the movie. they tried to say so much while instantly forgetting everything the moment they said it. oh, u thot this was going to b a movie talking rome as a brutal imperialist force from the pov of colonized ppl? well, it is, for like 10 minutes. n then they forget abt it. rome is good. u thot this was going to b abt slavery n how deeply ingrained it was in roman society? it talks abt that for 5 minutes. marcus aurelius had slaves, they say, then forget abt it after 10 minutes. marcus aurelius was a good man. rome is bad bc its an empire built on slavery n imperialism, we should fix it, n make it a REPUBLIC built on slavery n imperialism.

- ok so hanno is a pheonician name. n he was given that name in numidia. which was an amazigh kingdom. n everyone else around him were aesthetically amazigh??? except for when they were aesthetically west african. im p sure ridley scott still doesnt know where numidia is. (also in the hebrew subtitles they translated hanno into האנו when it should b חנו??? its a semitic name. its חנו like the word חן. whatever. least of my worries.)

- there was a jumble of accents which made immersion in the setting so hard. why did denzel washington n pedro pascal keep american accents while most other ppl had british accents. why did lior raz keep his accent. where is he even supposed to b from.

- ok. i dont like using the word woke in a way that doesnt align w its original meaning. HOWEVER. this movie felt like republicans making fun of progressives n making a movie that was 'gladiator but woke'. they tried so hard to put poc in the story n they talked abt imperialism from the pov of the colonized n characters who were canonly lgbt but also this was all so surface level bc. even the character that was supposed to b the pov of the colonized turned out to b a roman prince n turn around to support rome n the roman army. they still had characters (namely caracalla n geta) b gnc as a way to signal that theyre morally corrupt.

- why were all the rich romans so pale, powdered n sickly looking

- speaking of caracalla n geta. this remains the funniest whitewashing in history. i had to stop myself from bursting out laughing every time they were on screen. look at what theyve done to our beautiful brunettes

- also. twin emperors?????? lmfao. why was geta the prime brother n leader. caracalla was older

- why were all the statues white!!!!!

- why did they make up that random roman figures were gay. why did they made up that lucius verus n caracalla were gay. why did all the men want his gladiussy so bad

- ok last but is actually the most important point. WHERE THE FUCK WAS IULIA DOMNA. (sidenote - they joked abt the incest storyline they made up for the first movie but no mention of the real historical incest rumors abt caracalla fucking his mother??? smh)

Jadę dziś do psychiatry ostatni raz wsumie później muszę szukać innego

Edit. Jednak kazałam matce odwołać bo się za bardzo boje zresztą i tak tych leków nie biorę.

Odstawiłam je jakiś czas temu i zrozumiałam dlaczego mam takie samo i destrukcyjne myśli. Poptostu jestem za bardzo wrażliwa brzydzę się ludźmi do okoła jak mogą robić takie potworne rzeczy jak wyśmiewanie i gnębienie i wiele innych. Uciekam po szkole do parku lub nad rzekę żeby ochłonąć jestem przebodźcowana i odrzucana.

Przez parę lat silnej depresji zebrałam trochę sił i znowu mam chęć walczyć i odwagę by upominać innych żeby nie krzywdzili.

Skupię się na sobie, robi się cieplej to będę mogła znów chodzić do parku poczytać albo wgapać się w ptaki, drzewa i myślę że to właśnie ta praktyka zrobiła największy progress w mojej terapii.

if you have any crumbs to share... about aac raz/lili/bobby dynamic pleeeez ramble to me i want info i'm so into this concept T_T

oh my guy I have so many crumbs for you. These guys have resided in the back of my brain forever but I was usually too embarrassed to say anything about it outside of a couple joke posts. But this is my house so I’m choosing to thrive and frolic.

Also a doodle of the aforementioned three before I enter my tangent :) rambling under the cut

the initial dynamic of these three goes something like

-Lili & Bobby - can’t stand his fake ass. She remembers having to deal with him at whispering rock and clearly is not very good at letting go of grudges from when she was ten. This is, in fact, Bobby’s worst nightmare. He was terrified of working for the psychonauts partially because he didn’t want to run into people he used to know. Surprise! They don’t like each other.

-Raz & Bobby. Raz has the complete opposite problem he literally barely remembers this guy. They interacted for maybe a collective hour one day when he was 10 years old, he only recalls him because Lili clocks him and reminds Raz. Bobby mostly hadn’t thought about him since camp, but did build a little (lot) bit of a resentment after seeing that weird little freak from camp pop up on different True Psychic Tales covers. That on top of Bobby now having to intern under this guy makes their relationship kind of spotty to start, for sure.

-Raz & Lili. Theyre having fun :) After having fun “dating” as real young kids they fall out of touch during their teen years when Raz goes to travel with then circus again to try and reconnect with his family (whole other can of worms for him.) They meet back up during the late teen years and sort of pick up right where they left off, dating off and on for a bit and “officially” dating long term for a little over a year now.

Both their relationships with Bobby evolve over time, naturally. Bobby and Raz have a whooole fucking thing that isn’t fully conceptualized and Is way too long a concept for me to share but their intern/mentor relationship does help them learn to get along with each other. And of course them getting along means Lili having to deal with being around Bobby more often and so it begins.

The whole ~ feelings ~ aspect mostly starts with her and Bobby I think, funnily enough. They hate each other, they want each other dead so bad, but eventually they have to learn to get along for Raz’s sake if nothing else. So they learn! Try to, at least. They’re both really bad at it.

but the “i hate you i want you dead” manages to evolve into that more friendly insulting banter some people have. “I hate you i want you dead” (complimentary.) It gives Raz a headache because it takes him a while to process that they’re usually joking when they’re arguing with each other now.

Lili doesn’t like when she starts to have Feelings about that shitty little freak (tm.) I think she’s somewhere on the Aro spectrum and when Raz wasn’t around she really never. Felt any sort of desire for romance with anyone else. Girl just kind of forgot about it for a bit until he showed up again. Which caused a lot of emotions. And then got used to that until Bobby is introduced into the equation and slowly she starts to feel things toward him that aren’t Rage and Disgust. Which causes a lot of emotions.

Raz I think is entirely oblivious of having any feelings toward him for the longest time. While Lili is a slow “oh god oh fuck” buildup, he’s just really happy he and Bobby are getting along at all that any sort of progress in affection toward him just feels like another big win for friendship. I think it hits him all at once late at night on a random Tuesday and he just sits up in bed and stares at a wall about it.

The whole Raz and Lili communicating abt the concept of polyamory would make this insane post already twice as long and it’s not a part of it all I’ve thought about anyways so we’re going to shelve it for now. But once they do reach the conclusion that they saw this guy from across the bar and they liked his vibe, they both proceed to trip over their own feet for the next however many weeks.

You see, “woman who does not process her emotions” and “guy who needs a twelve step plan for everything” is a prime combination for two people who are pulling some mad scientist shit to try and talk to this guy rather than just inviting him out to eat sometimes. And Bobby is convinced for a little bit that they’re planning to dissect his brain or something because they keep doing that ^

On Bobby’s side of this whole equation the evolution is just his own little torment nexus for a few months.

he initially discovers he’s got a thing for Lili after they start getting along more and it sucks for him. He enjoys their flirty little threats of violence but he’s also close with Raz at this point so I think it just kind of makes him feel . Gross . Like man am I flirting with my friend’s girlfriend I think I am. Oh he’s probably going to hate me. Help.

and that concern for Raz is also a guy in the back of his brain knocking on a door very loudly trying to tell him he’s bisexual but he’s not quite arrived at that conclusion. Give him a few more missions where Raz grabs him while he’s falling to his death and he’ll get there probably.

there’s so many words. These are so many words. I’ll be honest the wacky schenanigans of the “before relationship” era are so funny to me that I’ve not really had any conceptual ideas for them getting into + Being In a Relationship yet. But I hope that you like this at least! This insanely long ass post goes out to you and the one other guy who’s a fan of these three (hi)

[foyle-writes-things]

So hi! The name is Foyle! Or you can call me D.M. or Dez if you prefer, doesn't really matter to me lol.
