real and true canon glimpse at how these two dealt with their mutual pining
ID: A sketch of Helmut happily twirling his hair contrasted with a dimly lit scene of Bob standing in his kitchen with his arms behind his back. They are both blushing. The text overlaid on top of the image says "when i have a crush i dont kick my feet or twirl my hair instead am in my kitchen at 3am pacing in circles with my hands clasped behind my back like a middle-aged divorced detective haunted by a cold case he just cant crack". End ID.
Happy Holidays @whisker-biscuit! Hope you like your gift!
Moment I saw Bob and Helmut on your prompt list for Psychonauts Secret Santa this year I couldn't help myself. So I drew this fanpiece specially for you!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
and I wish everyone a very, very wonderful day!
Thank you @kibasniper for letting me join your Secret Santa this year! I really had fun with this and I really appreciate having had the opportunity to join you and all the other absolutely talented and amazing people from this wonderful community this year. Hoping to join you and the rest of the Psychonauts community for this beautiful occasion once again next year.
Much love!
part of my art trade with @kingsleepyhead <3, art of their pirate AU cuz it occupies so much of my brain actually (pls click for better quality)
[ID: several drawings of Bob and Helmut placed like a comic. Helmut is dressed like a real viking, and Bob is wearing a modified version of Audie's outfit with a patch of different cloth at one elbow. The drawings depict Helmut playing the violin atop a large rock. Bob is watching him, his knees pulled up with a small smile on his face. The following drawings show Helmut spinning around while playing, and noticing Bob looking at him. They both awkwardly stare at eachother for a second, before Helmut smiles widely at Bob and they both blush. Helmut produces a few figments including flowers and one heart, a few flowers grow at Bob's feet. END ID.]
ID: A sketch of Helmut and Bob standing close together while Bob clutches at Helmut’s arm very tightly. Mental connections indicate a triad between “contact”, “safety”, and “love”. End ID.
Are there any Psychonauts ships you really like? Any you outright dislike?
sashamilla, razlili and helmut/bob. i may be basic, but they drive me absolutely fucking insane. other than that... i dont really care? other than obvious dont-be-a-creep stuff. i dont care too much about shipping with psychonauts, and thats kind of the beauty of it! i dont usually have such detached opinions about shipping, so the way psychonauts gives me that makes me happy
they were high school sweethearts but ended up going on completely different paths in life; they met again many years later and rekindled their relationship. they led a rebellion against the corrupt government together. eda turns into a harpy and raine’s reaction is pure awe. they’re canonically two of the strongest witches on the boiling isles. also their adopted son is the son of god!
Bob Zanotto/Helmut Fullbear:
THEY LITERALLY MADE MR CRY THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THE GAME. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND THEY FINALLY GET TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME.
they are married in canon and are epic and amazing. they had sad canon events where bob thought helmut was dead for like 30 years or something but helmut WASN'T dead his brain was still alive and they are reunited in the game first by way of stealing an evil dictator's body and then later on they put helmut's brain in a ball as a temporary fix while they go out to find his body which has been frozen in ice. the game forces you to walk through bob's memory of saying his vows at their wedding ceremony and it's seriously some of the most romantic and heartwarming shit i've ever heard, especially "just when i thought i was turning to seed, you made me bloom again" like my god. i love them
they're gay and old as hell!!!! there's a level dedicated to their wedding!!!
Helmut is voiced by Jack Black and is currently a brain in a ball, and Bob knows him so well that the mental image of him in his drunken mind says things Bob KNOWS the real Helmut would never say. Also Helmut is temporarily in the body of a guy voiced by Elijah Wood-
