Is Psitanium a limited resource? Will the Psychonauts ever run out of it? What would happen if they did? We know it can lose it’s psychic charge; can it be recharged or once it’s inert that’s it? Is there a way to make more of it, and if so, how? Psitanium got into the ecosystem of Whispering Rock which caused the animals to get psychic abilities; did the same thing happen to humans? Is psitanium in people’s blood like micro plastic, and this causes psychic abilities? Is this what mental cobwebs are? Is that why they are purple, because they are accumulated psitanium? Is this why Edgar and Boyd have slight psychic abilities; higher exposure? Is there psitanium things like chalk and paint, like lead back in the day? Is this how Edgar and Boyd got exposed? Does Psitanium accumulate in the brain? Can brains turn into psitanium or other psycho-active minerals? Is this why that psilirium in the rhombus looks like a brain, cause it is one? Do different brains turn into different colored minerals with time or circumstance? Is that why all the brains in Otto’s brain-frame are different colors? Are the psi challenge markers a form of psychic material? Is this why he wants to collect all those brains, to make more psitanium and other psycho-active minerals? Is that why all those supply chests with psitanium in them around the motherlobe form into a vaguely brain shape when put together, because they are? Psitanium can be used to give items psychic properties, like the jet the Pelican and those floating islands in the quarry; can the same be done for humans? Can you create an artificial psychic? Is this why is Otto be so obsessed with mining and gathering psitanium? Is he an artificial psychic, and psitanium is needed to maintain this power? In Psychonauts 2, we see his psi power come from his necklace; is this meant to give him psychic abilities? Or is it that his ability is weak and he needs artificial assistant to be on par with his peers? Can psitanium be harvested from people? What if that is a secret function of the brain tumblr, to extract psychic power/material from psychics? Is the one that exploded in Otto’s old lab trying to take ability from an extremely powerful psychic that caused a fatal malfunction? If so, is that the brain we see in the brain-frame that was killed in a brain tumblr accident? Who is this person? Can brains actually come back from being dead? Can brains die in this universe? Are the brains in the brain frame aware, or be made aware like Helmut’s? What happens when that happens?

…. Excuse me everyone, i think I just got possessed by the spirit of Boyd for a few minutes… it’s late, enough insane rambling, off to bed go i… *passes out*

Continental Drifter by Kathy Macleod. First Second, 2024. 9781250813732. 218pp including an afterward, photos of Kathy and her family, and comics that she drew when she was a kid.

Kathy and her older sister Jennie grew up in Thailand where they were raised by older parents (their dad is a retired US soldier, their mother a Thai businesswoman). They attended international schools where they were educated in English. Their family also spent some summers in Maine with their father's family.

A lot of the book is about Kathy not feeling like she fit in, no matter where she is. It also explores the way her family didn't talk about the past and so often kept their feelings from each other.

Some people thought Kathy's dad was her grandfather. In Thailand after friend's brother told her she wasn't American, Kathy started to look forward to going to Maine, where she would be attending summer camp for the first time. (She also started keeping a diary as she began her countdown to the Maine trip.) In Maine, though, she and her family were clearly different from those around them. Despite a group of loving relatives there, it wasn't always a great experience. But camp wasn't a complete and utter disaster, either.

There's a lot to love about this book. It feels like the kind of story that might open up some kids' eyes about how they treat others, especially how questioning and excluding kids can make them feel like they don't belong. I'm a huge fan of Kathy's warm and welcoming camp counselor. And I loved the fart jokes, her relationship with her dad, the bits about Thai culture, and the cringy moment when her mom gave her a special something to take with her to camp.

Watching Friday the 13th for the first time and I’m really loving how the use of POV shots in the first act of the movie sets up a lot more suspenseful shots later in the film by making the audience question whether the shot on screen is or isnt POV at the moment

next time my certain trustworthy extra comfy friend appears online, i'm telling her about my love for tickles

for now, i texted about my recent tickle nightdream with characters we both like

we don't talk every day but always have the greatest time doing so, so i'm not too worried tbh??

Announcement!

I've been granted Guest Of Honor at Furpocalypse this year!

I figure I'm gonna be pretty busy with that, so I won't be able to do much in the way of art for others. But in the meantime, you'll get sneak peeks at the art I'm making for the con! >:]

XOR DADDY CRYING </3

Okay but!

Lizzie and Joel are the types to say they have a crush on each other when they've been dating for three years at this point.

Lizzie talking to Grian about why people keep chanting about him and Mumbo or Scar(or whoever, up to interpretation) kissing in a tree, and she mentions that she "like-likes Joel, but you can't tell anyone", and he immediately tells cleo, who tells Joel.

So then I imagine their conversation is very

"Cleo told me you like-like me."

"I told Grian he wasn't supposed to tell anyone!"

"It's fine, I like-like you too."

";overdramatic gasp; really?"

it was either Xor Daddy or Xorny

They would 100% be the two councilors who are just always flirting but gush to everyone else about their crush on the other (dating for along time now)

Camp Prodigy by Caroline Palmer. Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2024. 9781665930383. 250pp.

Tate goes to a concert to see nonbinary violist Eli Violet play, but Eli's anxiety gets the better of them and they don't perform. Tate, inspired to learn the viola, starts practicing; they're also clearly trying to work up the courage to come out as nonbinary, too. Tate's parents send them to Camp Prodigy, "A place for musicians, from beginner to advanced." There they have to deal with other violists with a range of personalities. Best of all, Eli is there, and no one seems to know who they are except Tate. They become fast friends and Eli helps Tate improve. Much of the book is about Eli trying to find their comfort zone, and Tate trying to balance ambition and practice with other concerns, including when to come out to their fellow campers and family.

This is a straightforward, intense story of friendship, anxiety, being oneself, and musicianship that will speak to many older elementary and middle school students in particular.
