#shes my fav aquato

[rinboking]

Sleep time, Raz!

I was looking at some images of the Raz plushie, and I couldn't get it out of my head how it looked like Tim was putting Raz to sleep-

So I had Frazie do the same, just to make fun of her little brother hshshhs

whats ur fav augustus hc you have owo

*pulls out my scroll* do u want them alphabetically? or chronologically?

but really, i cant pick just ONE so i'll give u three :D out of the goodness of my heart

|

1 - Augustus is the epitome of "pure of heart dumb of ass". he loves his wife, he loves his kids, he loves his mom-slash-aunt, but oh my god hes dumb as rocks. he knows the basics he needs to know! he knows money counting math, physics specifically for acrobatics, and he understands measurements for when he has to help sew new patches onto his kids clothes, but thats it.

he knows the necessities and basics. this man cant do calculus, but he CAN adore his wife and help his kids practice their balancing acts by explaining how their centers of gravity works.

hes just big n dumb n full of love and thats all u need

|

2 - Augustus is an AMAZING cook. absolutely godsent. this man cooks both easily and deliciously. hes the one who usually cooks for the family, with Donatella's help since shes good at chopping things finely and fast. he makes a lot of food thats simple to make and good for leftovers since they have so many kids n live on a budget constantly. but this man makes it work. he makes this shit look easy and its rude. Augustus's love language is definitely cooking

|

3 - Augustus is the one who patched the kids up a lot. he already knew a lot about first aid from being part of the circus literally all his life, but post-Maligula incident he stepped it up to take care of himself and his monster. Augustus kept up with it, and even looked into first aid books when he was in a city or town with a library near wherever the circus set up.

he knows his kids can be hurt easy, especially since they start performing young, so he likes to keep first aid stuff around the caravan.

i say this cause i need yall to know hes the parent who gently comforts his kids when they get hurt, be it broken bones or even simple scraped knees. and yes, the younger ones get the "pain pain, go away" deal.

|

and a fun secret 4th hc cause i cant stop- yes Augustus' fixation is indeed trains. and yes, he really REALLY liked that train set he had that got "crushed". after that happened, though, he never tried to get more or rebuild the set. it was a lot of money that they cant really afford anymore. plus, Augustus is too busy for hobbies when hes got a whole family AND circus to take care of. tho i do think hes got a small train that survived the disaster next to his bed. its a lil one but its nice

anyways im so glad u asked me about literally my favorite character in Psychonauts 2 and if yall ever got more questions i will GLADLY answer. especially regarding the Aquato family

Also Augustus Aquato. :P

1. Sexuality Headcanon

Demiromantic, Pansexual. I headcanon that it takes quite a lot of effort to break through Augustus’s hard exterior [and trauma] to get to his gooey lovable center. Luckily for him, Dona was very persistent.

2. OTP

Augustus and Donatella invented romance! Did you know??

3. BrOTP

TRUMAN AND AUGUSTUS SHOULD BE FRIENDS!!!! Imagine how much fun those two goofy dads would have, swapping embarrassing pictures and stories about their kids. Plus, I think Truman would love to learn how to do a perfect cartwheel.

4. NOTP

Any ship that involves not Donatella

5. First Headcanon that Pops into Mind

Augustus is the one who helps do everyone’s hair! He learned how to after years of practice with helping Lucretia maintain her long unruly locks. How else could he learn how to maintain that beard??

He does Mirtala’s braids just the way she likes it. He holds Dona’s hair back and braids while she does her make up. He helps Frazie brush her impossible curls out when they’re at their worst. He bought Dion’s prized pomace and taught him how to use it (even though Dion way overdoes it.)

He even helped Raz straighten his out to resemble Sasha Nein, despite thinking curly hair looks just fine on the boy.

6. One Way I Relate to Them

I too, as an adult, am reviewing my childhood in retrospect and realize oh yeah some of that shit was kind of fucked up.

7. Secondhand Embarrassment Things

Augustus I love you, but why are you hanging with Norma while your oldest son is being forced to set up the Aquatodome alone and your youngest son is missing?

8. Cinnamon Roll or Problematic Fav

Precious and lovable Cinnamon Roll!!!!

[psi-king-roadie]

For the Character Ask Meme...ya know I had to...Donatella Aquato

1. Sexuality Headcanon

Panromatic. Demisexual. A very romantic woman, but you gotta show her dedication before she commits.

That woman could have anyone in the world, but she only has eyes for Augustus and boy does he know it.

2. OTP

Donatella and her husband, of course.

3. BrOTP

A tie between Milla Vodello (they both had baby Razputin for their clairvoyance view!!!), and, oddly enough, Hollis Forsythe. Once Dona’s gotten over her whole fortune teller bias, I think she’d respect the woman for working so hard for an organization that clearly doesn’t give a lot of love back. They’re both over-protective of their children/interns, and stress over funding. They have a lot in common and should be drinking buddies at least. I bet if nothing else, Hollis is loads of fun to gossip or mutually vent with.

4. NOTP

Anyone who isn’t Augustus I guess. The creepiest one I could think of pairing her with is Gristol 😬

5. First Headcanon that Pops into Mind

She has a guilty love of collecting postcards and maps from any truck stop or nature park the Aquatos happen to stop by. Living on the road might be tough, but she’s always loved the adventure of traveling. She’s tried to compartmentalize this hobby into cataloging their travels along with their budgets, something that Razputin picked up from her with his love of journaling and organizing tasks.

6. One Way I Relate to this Character

As my own home’s major breadwinner and a manager at a small business, I relate to the stress she’s under trying to keep the circus afloat. I’m very grateful I don’t live on the road or have kids tho. She’s got my respect for juggling work with family, especially while in the middle of everything with a runaway child and war-crime-committing mother-in-law.

7. Second Hand Embarrassment Things They Do

The guilt tripping. Dona. Sweetie. Love of Augustus’s Life. I know you got a lot going on right now, but making your kid feel miserable about running away isn’t gonna change Razputin’s mind about going through with being a Psychonaut.

8. Cinnamon Roll or Problematic Fav?

More like sinnamon roll. Lady openly flirting with her husband in front of five children? Girl can get it.
