obsessed with this pose in the photo mode.... raz when he is so 10 years old and loves bothering people

#the goofy silly #raz bothering ppl trying to have private moments so real #i played around in the postgame for a few more hours today bc im insane #slowburning finishing those optional sidequests just so i have a reason to go back. #finished gisu's today finally #psychonauts 2 #pn2 spoilers #razputin aquato #.txt

[thenecropolix]

A thousand years later and I finally started psychonauts 2; gonna put my first impressions under the cut, so unless you don't got a problem with spoilers, you may want to stay out of here

I loved the opening monolog from our beautiful boy Raz and HIS DOODLES RAZ I LOVE YOU

I was in awe of the graphics and controls, THE SELECTION SCREEN WAS SO COOL AND JUST DOING STUFF IN THE OPENING SEQUENCE WAS FUN CAUSE IT WAS ALL POLISHED

That being said, as someone who's terrified of the dentist, I was. A little bit squicked out by the dental stuff in Loboto's head. Like the imagery and sounds? 10/10 from a design and interactive viewpoint but also. Eww.

I ah. May have died 3 times during the levitation sequence.

Also how tf are y'all gonna leave a whole ass kid alone in someone's mind like that HE MAY BE GOOD FOR A KID BUT HE'S STILL A KID

I was already stressing and I hadn't finished the tutorial level

Also didn't think I'd meet miss Hollis so soon god she is pretty but also ma'am be nice to the boy

SPEAKING OF WHICH

THAT COMMENT THAT ONE CHICK MADE ABOUT THE INTERN PROGRAM ALLOWING KINDERGARTNERS?? FIRST OF ALL, LISTEN HERE—

I was so peeved for Razputin

AND THEN THE FUCKING INTERNS LOCKING HIM IN THE CLOSET LIKE THAT

Bro I have never beefed harder with some teenagers

I didn't think I was gonna immediately dislike norma like that but

Fuck

Everyone else also ain't getting passes for that like WHY TF—

I'm glad he got new clothes but that was painful to watch him try and lie about how that happened to Otto and Sasha

Which BTW I didn't expect Otto to have such a pleasant voice

It was nice to hear Sasha acknowledge Raz's value

AND MILLA

You know I had to go through all her dialogue, I love that she did not hesitate to reassure Raz that she always has time for him I can't guys I love this woman

I stopped playing for the day after talking to Milla, but I'll have to use clairvoyance on her before I make my way to the classroom

WHICH ALSO SEEING SASHA'S VIEW OF RAZ WAS FREAKING ADORABLE

"And I shall call him Mini me"

Ranking Aquato family members by how likely they are to commit tax fraud (least to most)

8 - Razputin Aquato

Of all the members of the Aquato Clan, Raz is currently the only member confirmed to be working for the government. He's the absolute model of a federal employee. The kind of agent they would make naively optimistic 50s movies about. The kind of hero who is everything J Edgar Hoover was not. Honest, caring, loyal, hardworking, excited to chase the call of adventure alongside his heroes, who are also employees of the federal government. He's not a slave to authority, but he could best be described as "Lawful Good" in D&D terminology. As such, Raz would never commit tax fraud. He only wants to help people, rescue their brains, and occasionally commit arson and kill animals. But only when its cool. Also, he hates math.

Likelihood: Never.

7 - Dion Aquato

Dion is a contentious character. Some people hate him because of the way he bullies and insults Raz. Others like him because they see past that and see him as depressed and anxious teenager who's taking his insecurities and pain out on his little brother out of jealousy and the fear of his entire world changing around him. But we're not here to talk about that: we're here to ask if he'd commit tax fraud. The answer is he's simply not smart enough to. We're talking about a guy who heard from his toddler-aged brother that real living human beings reproduced via eggs. He simply isn't smart enough to figure it out. He'll either need a caregiver or spouse to file his taxes for him, or he'll download a terrible app on his phone that he can just barely navigate and might still have to go through an audit just because he got stuff wrong.

Likelihood: Too dumb to commit tax fraud. Even if he were smart enough, he'd probably get frustrated and bored very quickly.

6 - Augustus Aquato

Auggie won't lie to you, the thought of cheating on his taxes has definitely crossed his mind. There's a lot of overhead on a circus, even a small one. With how much the family struggles financially, the temptation has always been there to write off a few fake expenses. But he never has, because he's a responsible father and husband, and would never want to endanger his family by putting their finances and freedom in jeopardy.

Likelihood: Highly unlikely. Good dad energy too strong.

5 - Mirtala Aquato

The member of the family we know the least about. She seems kind enough, though often times sarcastic and smart-alikey. A spirited and adventurers young lass, she might find certain parts of the Internal Revenue Code to be arbitrary, annoying or overly cumbersome. The thought might occur to her to commit tax fraud, but its doubtful she'd ever go all the way through with it. The potential jail time and fines would likely be enough to make her decide against it.

Likelihood: Might do it under pressure, but very unlikely otherwise.

4 - Donatella Aquato

A very passionate Italian mother, often times theatrical. Also very uncool about guilt-tripping her kids! Not cool, Donna! Though in fairness it's treated as a gag, and seems to just be her way of burning off the conflicting emotions she's going through. Still, sometime in the VERY near future she needs to give her son a hug and an apology! Moving on to the tax fraud, she's most likely faced the same temptation as her husband, but likely has weaker moral reservations. Donatella strikes me as the rebellious type, the kind who'd angrily stare down the head of a government agency for talking shit to her. Were it not for Augustus reminding her of the dangers, she'd probably get "creative" with her return filings.

Likelihood: Possibly. Similar motivations to Augustus but less moral apprehension. It'd take some pressure before she gives in.

3 - Frazie Aquato

She's a bitch but I like her. She throws shit around and says fucked up evil things. But she still clearly has a heart, can have a pleasent conversation with Raz, and even admits she misses him. Like Dion, she's a dumb teenager with issues, she's just slightly less douchey about it. Slightly. Would she commit tax fraud? This girl breaks into private government property, tosses pinecones at people and skulks around in trees like a spider monkey.

Likelihood: Would commit tax fraud, but doesn't make enough money. She lives in the woods.

2 - Queepie Aquato

This child is an agent of chaos. He runs around in the forest at the age of like 4 and is under no threat by wild animals. If anything, the wild animals are scared of him. His mind conjures up insane and silly conspiracies about psychics that he doesn't even believe and tells his older brother just to fuck with him. This kid will claim his toys and dependents to help fund his pirate radio station.

Likelihood: Already commiting tax fraud with his co-conspirator Morris Martinez.

1 - Nona Aquato

Nona has been committing massive tax fraud for decades, but only by accident. She's been filing as her dead sister, whose identity she unwittingly stole. By now, she's in her golden years, and I'm sure she figures it's too late to stop now. Might as well go the extra mile and fudge some of those numbers. Especially since she recently reconnected with her friend Cassie O'Pia, infamous criminal counterfitter. The stuff Cassie knows about cooking books will be instrumental to her fraudulent claims.

Likelihood: Serial tax scammer

Thank the pn2 vol.3 album art for reigniting my mood to finish this piece, drawn In the early days I saw that early pn2 concept poster art.

Man just gotta wonder what the plot was like with the old designs they had....

Old overworld hub designs -- specifically old motherlobe and quarry map design, the ones we see in DF youtube as pn2 was being made

also that vehicle thing, wonder if that’s like the canoe or if it can dive into a deeper part of the lake

Sasha and Milla off on a mission on a cold location, with what looks like a spear/harpoon/maybe detector thing? Looks like they’ve been there for a while

Morry with a spooky well, which honestly gave me that necromancy plot when I first saw the poster after the trailer is nudging about that topic

Ford (notably w/o psitanium on his back) riding off without a saddle on a horse with an explosion going off behind him (at least the album version has reigns now, the concept art one didn’t have it. Anyway back then I squinted so much at the image to figure out what outfit he was wearing only to find the clearer image of this didn’t really have any detail at all so like ‘what is going ooonnnn with this part’)

Lili behind Raz who doesn’t have a cool jacket but with a blue swirl(most likely hinting at hydrokinesis part of the ~ mystery~ )

and then the Spooky buildings with brain on it so is that a psychonauts owned location?

 and what looks like *squints* a spaceship? blasting at the entrance?(Could be real, could be owned by opposing organizations, could be a mindscape thing... possibilities possibilities) OR WAIT is that a sled thing blasting out from the entrance?

also that constellation lookin swirls on the spooky clouds, i see you *looks at aquato fancier clothing*

One wonders if this had more overworld exploration/settings to travel to in the jet like Lady Lucktopus mission, or if its just other characters off doing things. I can see the question of “but why would Raz accompany them” or “how would Raz witness these events happening to other characters as our player POV” or even the simple question of how long these events happen from each other because boi Sasha got a stubble

* New AU idea where everyone’s a D’artagnan equivalent (concept art that was turned into an individual character)

i'm not going to be posting much from the artbook, but on behalf of intern enjoyers everywhere i would like to apologise to Gisu that everyone has been spelling her last name wrong all this time

#although as a friend rightly pointed out. wouldn't be an issue if they'd just included her surname in the first place would it #psychonauts #if i add #pn2 artbook spoilers #as a tag then hopefully it'll help people who are trying to filter that

[poobletoods]

most important information revealed by the pn2 artbook [very mild spoilers here] is that helmut fucking loves knitting and that was a core aspect of his character from very early on

he loves to knit!! he loves to make silly little hats and big comfy sweaters!!!

now imagining a scenario where he knits bob a sweater and presents it to him so very sheepishly cuz hes like "oh man is bob gonna think this is dumb i hope he likes it oh jeez" and when he gives it to him bob just looks at it and starts bawling because holy shit helmut knitted him a sweater????

After playing through Hollis's Hotstreak, finishing Boss 1, and getting through the Casino Mission, I just want to applaud all the fanfic writers that did one-shots of Hollis apologizing to Raz because oh my god

At the beginning, I was quickly having a hard time liking Hollis cause of how dismissive she was, but then actually playing through the level and hearing her speech? Perfection

It makes me appreciate those fics where she acknowledges she was in the wrong, especially when the writers throw the interns into the mix... speaking of which, I can definitely see why people like the interns, but also god it was hard to see them egg Raz on and then only doing shit last second and acting all buddy buddy cause like HE'S JUST A LITTLE BOY LEAVE HIM ALONE—

Props to the voice actors and designers because I do adore their voices and character designs, but as I stated before, playing through that level makes me happy their are people who've written fics where they own up to their shenanigans

Which also reminds me: I would love to see someone explore how some of the interns mentors talk to them about what happened with the casino mission; I specifically have the idea of Compton and Sam or even Morris and Milla talking about what happened with Raz and seeing how much of an impact the little guy has had (consider the conversation with either one where they're not mad but disappointed at the two respectively)

This also relates to another idea I thought of specifically with Nona: more specifically, consider a fic where she hears about the hazing and then invites herself to give Hollis's class a demo on hydrokinesis or just honing ones powers in general and just absolutely fucks with all the interns as a lesson for messing with her pootie (bonus if she shamelessly shows favoritism for Raz); let the little old lady put the fear of God into those teenagers who are all too aware now that they hazed the grandson of a war criminal (alternatively, just consider the interns getting more work from their respective mentors as a form of punishment for doing that)

#I have so many thoughts #on the interns and Hollis #like #fun as they all are #what happened with Raz wasn't cool #and Im happy that the game acknowledged it with Hollis and we got that scene with her and raz #which is why love the idea of her being the opposite of a wine aunt to raz #but I would've wanted to see something with the interns as well #recognizing their wrongs and making up for it and such #THIS GAME MAN #Hollis I love you but FUCK was it hard watching you do all that to Raz #and FUCKING NORMA WITH HER CONDESCENDING SHIT #y'all I'm trying to like the interns I swear #psychonauts #psychonauts 2 #hollis forsythe #razputin aquato #the interns #pn2 spoilers #psychonauts 2 spoilers

Now two of the three members of the Zanotto family have beaten Gristol. They deserve it. And so does he :) Gonna take a break from regular updates now. It was satisfying to have a new comic every week, but the next two on my list are elaborate enough that I wanna take my time on them.

also, another headcanon brought to you by concepts from the art book:

so context first, bob's mind was originally a town of little porcelain people that was constantly changing water levels due to his alcoholism. we saw glimpses of this in the psychodessy, but now in the art book theres these pages of frankly super adorable art of all the little porcelain people and their town trinketon

so NOW, the headcanon: bob likes collecting little porcelain ppl and town set pieces and arranging them as a side hobby. some of these are also pots for indoor plants in his house but a lot of them are just purely decorative and cute. he is very old man coded at the tender age of 40-something (source; my grandma has a full set of those porcelain christmas villages they sell during the holidays so this is very old people core to me)

a lot of these mightve broke during the 20 years of isolation but post-game bob manages to salvage whatever he can and dust off the little trinketon town and display it again. there were spiders in the larger house pieces that'd broken a bit

#pn2 art book spoilers #art book spoilers #hcs #cospn2 #its like how the topiary aspect never made it to his mind #but he still has a little tree hes pruning as a refrance
