Just looked on the older books for refs of Thea and
Boi Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is insane
It literally starts with G heading to work on time at 9, but William comes in like "BOI YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE GAZETTE YOU HAVE TO CUT DOWN THE BUDGET" (Imagine this screamed directly into Geronimo's ear)
Obviously William's definition of "cut down the budget" is this
TW: Spoilers for Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, William behavior, do not click on if you don't want a spike in blood pressure
If you choose to turn away now, the following fume was just an intermission for finding this picture lmao
He pawned over everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in Geronimo's office, from his desk to his armchair to his carpet to his book collection to his art collection, and replaced it all with a single plastic chair and desk ("All you need in an office is a desk and chair!")
He fired ALL THE STAFF and decided that only family members will be working for the paper (because family members don't need to be paid as much probably (if at all) when working for a family business-- they all share their finances with each other, anyway maybe (it's not clear what their salaries are gonna be (wanna bet G is paid minimum wage while Thea is paid 50% of the Gazette's monthly expenses after this clean sweep))). The only person spared from the firing spree was Shif T. Paws, the Gazette's sales manager, who apparently offered to work there for free.
He delegates all the work of the Gazette to four people-- G does all the office work (taking calls, building maintenance, writing, editing, printing, clientele stuff), Thea does all the interviews and field work stuff, Trap does all the cooking, and Benjamin is "William's personal assistant". Lord knows what that last position means for little Benji. (Okay reading ahead Benjamin seems fine, but he does say that William is "a bit pushy".)
He sends G out on a work holiday thing and he overworks the crap out of everyone, to the point where even Thea is sick of William's senile old-fashioned ass, and it seems that the Gazette was also going downhill because of this mouse furry ripoff Daniel Dancer. (To give a preview of what he did in the working perspective, he basically had Trap work seven days a week)
He was planning to have staff give use old newspaper instead of toilet paper (T&B expenses), make a 30-second time mechanism for the restrooms (to maximize manpower efficiency and possible humiliation for anyone going number 2), and was considering cutting all electricity to the building and just have staff work on typewriters "just like the old days".
This man's senile ass--

I think part of the reason why I’m enjoying Psych so much is that it reminds me of those “Top Secret Adventures” that were put out by Highlights magazine.
They were like, this two year or almost two year subscription service in the 90s/early 2000s for kids, where you’d get a new “case file” every month, set in a different country. And the purpose was to teach you about geography and a bit about the culture and history of these countries, because to solve the puzzles in the workbook, you’d have to read the little informational book on the country (or at least flip through it for answers.)
And you’d have to pay attention to your “suspects” too, of course, which came like little paper trading cards with their (usually pun-ny) names and some information on them. Then you’d combine that with the hints in your workbook at the “crime scenes”
It was all very goofy and fun, and while the majority of it had to deal with thievery and not like, murder, I’m pretty sure, but similar vibes, since Psych itself is mostly a very lighthearted, goofy show?
(Also I really liked playing Clue as a kid, which probably fits into it somewhere.)

hello I think I really like the mini album
the intro instrumental bangs even if it makes the album 4 songs instead of the promised five… this is 8d we are talking about here I can’t get mad at this point lol
DOPAMINE. Hello. Hi. i almost feel like this was created in a lab specifically for me. cute keyboard into breakbeat with interestingly textured layers??? RIE????????? and that chorus is so fun oh my goodness. and that’s not to mention the choreo.
also based on the preview I did not think I’d like give me the love but I do. I do.
can someone talk to me about how O has the line “stuck in a time loop” bc I might have to add it into the onlyoneof duologies playlist as the first trilogy with time leap and time machine
and gravity??? i got the biggest smile on my face when I realized the synth reminded me of blossom
