The way Marine Le Pen cynically and relentlessly exploits every issue makes me want to throw up. She's all over this one, happy for the opportunity to side with her fellow far-right piece of shit politicians in Israel under the guise of caring about Jewish people, and denouncing the left for 'supporting Hamas'—which, yes, 1 far-left party made an inexcusable statement in that regard and it's not like there isn't antisemitism on the left, but still it boggles the mind to have Marine Le Pen smugly posturing as a moral authority on the matter, "these leftist hypocrites don't care if Jews die, unlike me and my fascist party funded by my Holocaust denialist father who speaks fondly of the Gestapo" CLOWN WORLD

If you all haven't noticed I am an absolute slut for secret relationships, romantically or platonically

Teruki and Mob are incredibly good friends in the series when originally Teru was a major narcissist with a god complex who literally tried to kill Mob- you completely expect them to at least dislike each other a little, right?

Nope; the animators made the queer subtext between them so damn strong and they literally trust each other with their lives, ✨love it✨

Luffy and Koby met when the latter wasn't even a marine yet and the prior saved his life from pirates albeit being a pirate himself, so you expect them to appreciate each other but still be utter and complete rivals, right?

Hell no; Koby clearly admires (cough cough also with a sprinkle of queer subtext) Luffy while still being a strong and loyal marine, and Luffy still sees Koby as his good friend while still being a powerful pirate, ✨fucking adore it✨

And then there's the fanon romantic sides of these two pairings as well!!

Oh damn the uber powerful shadow leaders of Black Vinegar and Salt Middle have been spotted together? Must be preparing for a super big territorial fight- NAHHHH they're just on a date and Teruki's confidently holding Mob's fingers since Mob is still too nervous to entirely hold hands but you bet they're both red

Koby, the Hero of Rocky Port, keeps the wanted poster of Monkey D. Luffy, an Emperor of the Sea, hidden away in his quarters for some reason? Must be damn devoted to catching him or something- NUH UH he's just gay and misses his beloved, and whenever he and Luffy have a chance to be alone the only hands they're catching is in each other's as Luffy rambles and Koby contently listens

I love love love secret relationships okay

Hey Cody! How is Thunder doing?

He's doing great! He's... actually gotten like... REALLY big since our journey...

I'm five-foot-ten-inches--Not exactly short. Look how much he towers over me! I swear he wasn't that big a decade ago!

But he's just as hyper and excitable as he was as a Totodile. Thankfully he's LONG mastered control of his mouth--I don't want to imagine the damage that could do by accident...

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.

Give me the chance and I'll never, and I mean NEVER, shut up about reverse selfshipping. Just- please. Think about it for one second.

You can be from whatever media you want, be who you want and your f/o is still infatuated with you. Do they buy stuff purely because it reminds them of you? Would they make fanart of the two of you? What if you're from a music themed franchise and they've memorized all your lines in your songs, even your solo! Imagine them buying merch of you, or they make it themselves!

And then you have other parts; them wishing you were real. You've impacted their day-to-day lives so much, they don't go a day without thinking about you or looking at your source material. They go to bed hugging a pillow imagining that it's you to help them to sleep. They can't help but have this unattainable wish in the back of their mind that you were real and theirs.

What if they own a blog? They have their own self insert. Heck, self insertS. You are the person of their dreams.

Everyone knows they're your biggest fan. It's a title they wear with pride.

[zombieplaguedoc]

Imagine your f/o drawing doodles of you two together

Antis dni, this post does not apply to you.

Some practise with baby lilith. I feel like i'm hitting another turning point in my art soon. I seem to circle back to more stylised art lol

Regularly frustrated by the fact that most of my fixations aren't mainstream enough to have much in the way of official merch, but for the sake of both my sanity and my wallet, that's probably a good thing
