"You want me to handle this one, Reyes?"

"Seems you already know the answer."

#i just want to eat a brick (positive) when i think about their dynamic #highly believe they'll have a revelation in the current game's lore where cass'll find out Reaper is Reyes and that's going to be tough #like i definitely view Cass as having a high amount of respect for him #especially given how personally he seemed to take Gabe's dismissiveness in the Retribution arc #ugh they make my heart hurt #also if any of y'all know someone who looks/acts like cass irl hit me up because MAN is he fine as hell #ignore that last tag #overwatch fanart #overwatch #blackwatch #gabriel reyes #cole cassidy #cassidy #reaper #art #my art #digital art #fanart

i know i’m like two years too late but i finished listening to the magnus archives last weekend and i’ve just had…. Endings festering in my head and nowhere to put them

#BUT IDK IF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE ALL OF THESE #but also tumblr is my own personal void so #so i could just leave it here #my irls have heard too much from me already #and none of them listen which means i am essentially #talking to a brick #wall #or a brick works too i guess #some are technically post-MAG200 canon divergent #others are just off the walls what ifs #the magnus archives #tma #jonathon sims #martin blackwood #jmart

I am perfectly normal about the Psychonauts timeline

Spoiler warning for...everything.

As I was playing Psychonauts 2, I had a vibe that Ford and the Psychic Seven were active during the late 1920s, early 1930s, mostly because of the Model T Ford in Cruller's Correspondence, but also because of the biplane in the diorama of Ford fighting Maligula from Fatherland Follies. But there were some issues with that - namely the Feel Mobile which resembles more a model of van released around 1964. I feel compelled to mention it looks like the Motherlobe is trapped in the 70s, technology-wise.

So I looked up the timeline on the Psychonauts fandom wiki, as well as the blurb from Psychonauts about the history of Whispering Rock. And while clicking through the wiki, I found a copy of the Li-Po document, which contains the following line:

[...] when [Ford Cruller] was [...] away fighting for the Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War [...]

Firstly, based.

Secondly, that means Ford had to be at least 16* by 1937 (when American volunteers were sent to Spain). At least if we are to believe that this...very specific part of the Li-Po document is still canon. Which...I mean, we could. We know Ford was already an adult when he assembled the Psychic Seven, but we don't know how old he was. From the looks of him in the mental vaults and illustrations, he was definitely older than 16 (considering the full moustache). Meaning that it is possible Ford spent his younger years fighting in the Lincoln Brigade, then when he matured started looking more into his and others' psychic powers.

Possible? Yes. Plausible? Ehhh...considering the story of Psychonauts 2 is deeply tied to the trauma the Psychic Seven endured surrounding the Grulovian Civil War then the Deluge of Grulovia, I doubt that Ford's previous involvement in a very bloody battalion (22.5% of Lincoln Battalion fighters died in the Spanish Civil War) would have gone unmentioned. Since it makes no appearance in Psychonauts 2, I think it's safe to say it's no longer canon.

So where does that leave us? With the only statement from the devs (specifically Tim Schafer himself) that points us towards a date for the game's events:

"We think of it as taking place in the 80's but not necessarily the 80's, in case we need a piece of technology that we're stealing from the 90's."

So...that leaves us with a year range of 1980 to 1999. However, if technology is an issue (specifically, taking place during the 80s but needing some tech from the 90s), that means the game probably takes place in the late 80s, early 90s. I interpret this as being between 1987 and 1993. So, we've narrowed it down! Based on my arbitrary definition of "late" and "early"!**

Is there any way to narrow it down further? Unfortunately, not from what I can find - the tech we see in the Motherlobe is more reminiscent of the 60s and 70s (the computers we see on peoples' desks and in Sasha's lab look akin to a Xerox Alto, which came out in 1973), and I don't know enough about the history of other technology we see in-game to infer information about the timeline. If someone else has knowledge about things I may have missed that point us towards a date, please reblog and let me know!

Now, before I get into what I see as the timeline, I do want to address Maloof's line when you release him from the GPC.

"Nah, the staff hasn't put any kids in the GPC since the fifties."

Which goes against the timeline written on the log in the parking lot (which states that Whispering Rock Summer Camp was only created 5 years ago). I'm leaning more toward the written lore, since it's entirely possible Maloof is misinformed. After all, this is his first time at the camp. It's entirely possible Bobby (or another camper) has been lying to Maloof about the history of the staff's use of the GPC. For this reason, I'm disregarding this conflicting bit of evidence.

So! On to the actual timeline - at least, what I think it is. Starting from the beginning and working our way to the present day. I will represent the dates as a range, so "1987 - 1993" means "between 1987 and 1993." It doesn't mean that whatever event took place took that long, just that it happened at some point within that range. Good? Good! Let's go.

Brick's Speculative Psychonauts Timeline

1487 - 1493: A psitanium meteor strikes the area that will eventually be known as Whispering Rock, leaving behind a psitanium deposit.

1787 - 1793: A local indigenous group starts working with the psitanium, creating the arrowheads found in the first game, and names the area Whispering Rock (just, in their language, not English)

1887 - 1893: The mining town of Shaky Claim is established as part of the gold rush, except they're mining for psitanium. The psitanium deposit severely worsens the mental health of the people there.

1888 - 1894: The first case of 'Paranormal Hysteria' diagnosed in Shaky Claim.

1912 - 1918: Houston Thorney constructs Thorney Towers Home for the Disturbed. Ford Cruller is born.

1927 - 1933: Houston Thorney commits suicide. The town's population is less than the amount of patients in Thorney Towers.

1932 - 1938: Thorney Towers Home for the Disturbed is closed but some patients still remain. The remaining residents of the valley leave and the area is flooded, resulting in Lake Oblongata.

[At some point, Ford assembles the Psychic Seven]

1967 - 1973: The Psychic Six fight Maligula. Grulovia is flooded then trapped below the frozen floodwaters. Helmut Fullbear is presumed dead. Shortly thereafter, Ford uses the Astralathe to modify the memories of Lucretia and Augustus, then to break his own mind.

[At some point, Charlie Psycho Delta is established then swiftly abandoned]

1982 - 1988: Whispering Rock Summer Camp is established.

1987 - 1993: The events of Psychonauts, Psychonauts: The Rhombus of Ruin, and Psychonauts 2 take place all within about a week (and that's being generous).

So there! That's what I think the timeline is. Again, if you have any feedback or want to point out something I missed, please let me know! I'm new to the games/lore/fandom so 'tis entirely possible!

The implications of this timeline are...interesting. The fact that during the fight with Maligula, something that was supported by multiple countries, they're using planes from the 1910s when it's at least 1967...the world of the Psychonauts isn't less technologically advanced - they have a jet that rivals ones from 2024! So I have no clue what that biplane is doing in Gristol's memory of the fight with Maligula. Unless we consider Gristol an unreliable narrator for that detail - but even then I'm unsure why he wouldn't have assumed they were using modern technology...? IDK. It's weird.

Anyways, if you got this far, thanks for reading! I'm flattered. I always love picking apart lore and timeline details like this, no matter the fandom I'm in. So consider this my hello to the Psychonauts fandom :-)

*According to the Wikipedia page for the Lincoln Battalion, that's probably the youngest any American volunteers were. ** The way I see it: if it ends in 1/2/3, it's early. If it ends in 4/5/6, it's mid. if it ends in 7/8/9, it's late.

#my dad is a warplane nerd and he helped me identify the biplane #irl biplanes like that were used as late as the 1940s since they had more manoeuvrability than the faster jets #but by the 60s/70s there were definitely a variety of planes that would fill the 'slower but better movement' niche #and it cant be because grulovia doesnt have the tech - cause the psychic six weren't working with grulovia !#they were called in by the international community !!!#so for some reason the international community gave them planes that were at least twenty years old to fight this new terrifying foe !!!!!!#what is going on !!!!!!!!!!!#anyway. i was having a hella breakdown (/positive) over this last night. but putting in in clean form like this helps me figure things out-#-in my brain #also the fact shaky claim was established as part of the gold rush implies a location somewhere on the west coast #considering the devs are in california im guessing whispering rock is also in california #psychonauts #psychonauts rhombus of ruin #psychonauts 2 #brick wall #ford cruller #because i talk about him a decent amount

Y'know I think I've figured out why I keep making things more grey in my artwork than I mean to, specifically regarding skintones.

It's part influence, yes- so much old artwork is washed out and grey compared to normal skin tones, but that's because it's. old.- but also because whenever I think of "realistic" skintones, I think of it like "less saturated than cartoons."

that's it.

Cartoons are always so bright and vibrant- WAY more appealing than real life imo. It's part of the exaggeration of animation. You can have all sorts of skin tones because you can literally use anything on the color wheel and the camera will pick up on it because there's no "camera" at all. Animation is freeing.

So, recently, I've been trying to draw more "realistically." I only just learned how to draw noses (because of animation, actually, thanks ATSV), and correct body proportions, and specifically feet and hands. I'm only JUST figuring that stuff out. So, when I'm referencing "more realistic" stuff, my train of thought has LITERALLY been "stiffer and duller than cartoons."

But here's the thing- cartoons have GREAT skin tones! If you wanna colorpick skintones, animation is such a good way to go!

In my effort to make things "more lifelike," I've been stripping my artwork of life. I got the opposite of what I wanted.

There's a metaphor in here somewhere but the point is now that I've realized this I'm taking a hard right back into vibrant skintones again. Fuck "realism" I want to give my characters life.

Expect another updated ref again FGHDSJAK

#dimond speaks #this hit me while drawing shark's gift exchange artwork actually #because like. his designs slap so hard and his colors are always so awesome #and as i was colorpicking it just kinda hit me like a brick #THE IRONY? MY OWN *CARTOON CHARACTERS* HAVE DULLER TONES THAN THEY SHOULD. THEY'RE CARTOONS.#and the POINT of the STORY is that they GET COLOR. THEY *START* IN BLACK AND WHITE AND THEN GET COLORED IN #WHY ARE THEY SO DULL?? BECAUSE ANIMALS IRL AREN'T ACTUALLY BRIGHT ORANGE???#FUCK THAT #something has been unlocked deep in my mind and i'm free now

they’re fictional characters in fake realities. care about them/their motivations/behaviors/nuances/morals/backstories/relationships etc. etc. fucking etc. however much in whatever way you want

consider not treating actual human beings like shit! consider not conflating a person’s taste in & feelings about & subjective understanding of fake fucking people with who they are as humans irl! the self righteous high ground behind-the-screen bullshit is so. tired. & it doesn’t make you better than anybody else — it just makes you an asshole & you should maybe feed your ego some glass

#this is primarily about #billy hargrove #&#anti billy hargrove #stuff that bleeds onto my dash #but it’s fandom neutral in the grand scheme & goes both ways #i realize it’s a brick wall #& has been said a billion times by more eloquent people than me #but like #imagine how many humans could be helped if all that time & energy was put into irl social causes #protest! volunteer! help a community collective! vote!#psa this is what happens when you spend too much time on reddit.com then see one anti post on here #i don’t make a habit of engaging in discourse sometimes you just hit a limit yk #hate him & hate anybody you want & talk abt it!#just keep irl people out of it #including the actors!

#i can't bring myself to talk about the palestine israel stuff publicly online yet no matter how many times i try #but please rest assured that i am not ignoring any of it. it's weighing on me very heavily and occupying most of my irl conversations #every time i try to talk about it i end up writing a fucking novel length brick of text #if anyone wants to talk about it i am here and open to discussing it via DMs #it has been a difficult and exhausting and disheartening and intensely uncomfortable week to be an anti-Zionist jew online #which i do realize is incredibly western/American/first world problems of me to be saying when people are literally dying #but just. i have a lot of thoughts but for the most part they all boil down to frustration at having my entire faith and culture #equated with zionism at every turn #and it is so distressing to watch chronically online westerners actively cheering on death and war and conflict #and none of the things i want to say will fit in a post or a canva infographic or a tweet or an insta story #just. palestinians deserve to live freely. jews deserve to live safely.#what we're seeing now is the inevitable result of decades of violent genocidal settler colonialism #that doesn't make it justified or any easier to swallow or any less heartbreaking #personal #idk
