#fsau archetypes

[2hoothoots]

it is laughably late for valentine's day art but my life has been consumed by Baldur's Gate 3 so you'll all just have to pretend i'm posting this three weeks ago. ANYWAY here's something silly with my favourite goons, love is for all year round, i'm throwing a cloud of heart-shaped confetti in your face

#psychonauts #future superstar agents au #i don't think i'd ever drawn dogen with lilith OR lover before. so here they are! #fsau dogen #fsau archetypes #the mental image of the angel + devil on dogen's shoulders was just too good not to indulge haha #polish

@2hoothoots

#future superstar agents au #fun fact! the pixel badge in pn2 makes doodle into a 16x16 sprite. how do i know? i counted. #notebook/phone sketches coming tuesday (for tuesday again no problem) #fuzzysprites

It sounds like the Raz in your Villains AU would be more emotionally stunted than the proper FSAU Raz. I can imagine the Performer and Lover archetypes either didn't form to balance out the Agent archetype, or we have a Cassie situation. Maybe the Agent archetype usurped them and Raz ate his feelings.

It's not that I can't. I just find it more prudent to focus my energy elsewhere.

v!au Raz doesn't have any archetypes. he never really saw the need to develop any. what's a guy like him need a little doodle friend for? he's already a walking one-dimensional paper cutout

#future superstar agents au #villains au #also! look! first appearance of proto-agent and proto-performer #look at them they're so cute #they don't even exist in this timeline but aren't they sweet #but yeah. vau doesn't meet cassie and learn archetype projection #he probably gets taught it in the intern program a few years later #but never really clicks with the power #what do you need a tool for self-actualization for if you already know exactly who you want to be? #(he's got a few issues) #(ALSO tysm for all the other asks about this au. gonna try and get a few more responses done over the weekend) #fsau archetypes #BARELY but it counts and i want to be able to find this again

i've been having a lot of fun with these tarot-themed illustrations, so here are two more! these are of my silly little au archetypes because i love them a lot

#psychonauts #future superstar agents au #the archetypes are probably the most self-indulgent part of the au #they're basically ocs #but i love em a whole bunch so look at them. look at the parallels are you seeing the parallels i put way too much thought into these guys #got more in the works but posting these two together because i like a good bit of juxtaposition #polish #fsau archetypes

[2hoothoots]

For sketch requests, would FSAAU!Raz's performer archetype like to show off for us?

sick flips!!

#this was a GREAT prompt i love this guy's shapes a whole lot #look at him gooooooo #look at him face! #fsau archetypes

[2hoothoots]

chatting with a friend got me thinking about archetypes (as always), so i thought i'd draw teen Lili and her original 'Lilith' archetype! she's a lot different to her future au appearance, but the core aspects of 'anime OC do not steal' are there from the very beginning

bonus art:

#psychonauts #i've had proto-lilith designed for a while (see the older sketchbook doodle) #& chatting with sxr about her swap!Lili's archetype brought her back to mind! #fsau archetypes #(because lilith is there) #always always thinking about the paper people

[2hoothoots]

some Agents (& Lilith!) for an ask i got on the other blog

#cross-posting them because i like them #and because its been too long since i drew my favourite string bean #(post on other blog is now up if you wanna read like 700 words of meta about this guy and his Complexes) #fsau archetypes

[2hoothoots]

drawing pictures of beautiful men on the way to my post-op

#i saw that set of posca pens and was like.. omg. they're his colours #fsau archetypes #i wish i could photograph them better they pop so well irl #also tysm to everyone who's sent well-wishes!! healing is going great and I'm getting my drains out today woop woop

[2hoothoots]

i was gonna draw some stuff for asks tonight but then my brain was like “what if you drew an alice in wonderland crossover with the archetypes” so i did that instead

#realising that i can draw whatever i want is. so powerful #hee hee hoo #future superstar agents au #fsau archetypes #i couldn't figure out how to make the angle work in the first one and then i was just like yeah whatever. so they're kind of 3D here #tbh i cheat the angles all the time though so :P

[2hoothoots]

had this guy on the brain, so here are more concept-type sketches! i got to thinking about how you can grapple to doodle raz using mental connection in-game, and wanted to sketch out some other ways you might be able to use an archetype as a movement tool (if you were good at sick flips)

#parkour!! #future superstar agents au #i think there are probably more things you could do with this concept #maybe he folds into a little ramp? #but you get the gist #fsau raz #fsau archetypes #lol i think i've drawn raz in the suit more than i have in his normal outfit (the jacket and turtleneck) #in my defense suits are very fun to draw

[2hoothoots]

Hmm.... does the lover archetype get along with the agent or performer archetype? Or is just like arguments all around? XD

they get on okay in that they don't really argue, but there's also kind of a clash of personalities. the Lover is all about emotional openness and sincerity, and the Performer is. well. hmm

#future superstar agents au #fsau archetypes #(concerned noises) #i already mentioned this but probably gonna be quite on the art front here for a while #got a lot of work to do this month lol. busy busy #managed to squeeze in this tonight though! #also i hope it's clear that the performer is doing the 'say what you said back in an annoying high-pitched voice' thing #NO I FORGOT THE LOVER'S EARRING IN THE LAST PANEL AGAIN #ask #OH! i also totally missed that you asked about the agent as well #the agent and the lover have an okay relationship. pretty cordial #they recognise that they both have very different roles in the mindscape #agent knows lover is important for Raz's emotional stability and well-being #and lover knows that the agent's stoicism is often important in high-stress situations #the lover isn't... happy exactly with the agent. but he respects him #(gestures to the previous post & the concept of 'storge')

[2hoothoots]

Has Dogen been able to interact with any of the archetypes or is it when he's on mission/around Raz he doesn't use them that often?

yeah, he's pretty well-acquainted with all of them! on mission, the Agent and the Performer are the two who come out most, and if they all have to split up Dogen sometimes gets left with one or both of the archetypes as backup.

so he's, uh. he's seen some stuff.

the rest is under the cut bc Long

#this is. a little bit inscrutable if you don't know my headcanon timeline for the archetypes #which is that the Performer basically grew out of doodle Raz #whereas the Agent came along later #anyway. drama! #this one also goes out to the person who wanted to see these two arguing #and also generally to everyone who has sent asks etc about the archetypes and enabled me #i LOVE these guys and i'm so glad people like seeing them #future superstar agents au #fsau archetypes #fsau dogen #i'll add transcripts in the morning i pinky promise i just really need to go to bed right now

[2hoothoots]

So do you think Raz and Lili were both on board with an open relationship when Raz started flirting with Dogen, or do you think the flirting started, then Raz and Lili had a discussion?

i basically hc that Raz and Lili were kind of... on again, off again for a lot of their teen years? you know how teen relationship drama is lol, they'll have the loudest most messiest break-up you've ever seen and then a week later they're inseparable again. they have this super strong bond, and as they get older they realise that "i always want to be with you" and "i want to see other people sometimes" aren't mutually exclusive. (i'm also very on board with the hc that the psychic 7 were basically one big polycule so like, they have good role models lmao)

this means that Lili gets to be the wingwoman slash car crash rubber-necker to Raz's attempts at flirting

follow-up gag under the cut

#future superstar agents au #sometimes i'll answer asks privately if the answer gets super long and rambling #like i assume most people don't want to read like relationship essays about these fictional character #i dunno. maybe they do??? #ANYWAY this is a follow up to one of those but a) theres art so im posting it b) its my birthday i can post silly shippy stuff if i want #(yes my birthday was yesterday i dont care it still counts) #this is set. i guess a couple years before the current au 'timeline' #so hairstyles are a smidge different #and the lover archetype is very new here! so he has a different design #he's still very shy at this point. it takes him a while to become more confident and really come into himself #fsau raz #fsau dogen #fsau lili #fsau archetypes

[2hoothoots]

Okay, I love thinking about the archetype relationships as that tells a lot about the mind... I am now thinking of Performer trying to be the "Cool Uncle" to the Inner Child Archetype. But maybe also the Inner Child really likes Agent.

yeah, the Performer and the Inner Child get on pretty great! in contrast IC does NOT like the Agent, he's emotionally perceptive enough that he took one look at that guy and was like "huh! that's not good!"

he's also emotionally perceptive enough to look at the Performer and be like "hmm. that's also not great"

the rest of the comic under the cut so i don't stretch peoples' dashes. transcript in alt

#it's so fun to write interactions between the archetypes #inner conflict! but also! funny little paper dudes! #anyway i'm holding myself back from writing this whole tag ramble explaining my thoughts #because like it's already in the art. i already drew it #but this one's a pun so: #fearlessness and a drive to improve and a lack of self-preservation are all great traits for an acrobat #...on paper. #(finger guns) #future superstar agents au #fsau archetypes

[2hoothoots]

I know that the Lover Archetype is mainly for Raz's main relationships between Dogen and Lili, but I also feel like the Lover is familial love. Like he comes up with all the birthday presents to give to the family or different friends and will have them on the back of his mind

(the rest of the philosophy lecture under the cut!)

#since the archetypes are all raz they share some common traits #for example: they all love infodumping at any opportunity #future superstar agents au #fsau archetypes #but yeah! the lover is lots of different kinds of love #he's also (as you can see here) passion about a lot of things #such as philosophy and the arts #oh noooo i forgot to add his earring. oh well just imagine it's there

[2hoothoots]

I love the paper people. Could we see something with Lilith and Raz's Lover Archetype?

THANK YOU for this request i love these two so much. they are so smitten with each other, they have like a Roger/Jessica Rabbit dynamic except they both think the other is Jessica Rabbit

#fsau archetypes #shamelessly borrowing cosmignon's hc of two archetypes being able to share the 'same page' #also the-family-fortunes turned me on to using a scanner app to take the pictures #and WOW is it so much better #ask #future superstar agents au
