@moffittarts from Tumblr is being blended!!

Aww, thanks! I’ve got a small snippet of it written, but for the moment, it’s mostly just brainstorms (haha, storms) and songs motivating it. Though I have a bit on his mind I could share, once I write it out. (Which I’m doing below)

His mind is always called “The Drowned Circus”. It comes into play after Fatherland Follies, starting right when you are launched by the other Aquatos into his mind. It’s in chaos. Gristol’s done a number on him, he’s horribly hurt by what Ford and Gristol both did to him. He’s unsure who he is, what he is, anything. You’re in the mind of a broken man, and you can’t find any trace of Augustus in there. The rain pours down. It will not stop.

You can jump across platforms of circus posters and rooftops, a mix between Grulovia and the Aquato family circus, and there’s so much breaking at the seams, ripping apart as he tries to fight. 

You find a door with seven locks. Each is labeled with a different name, written in cursive script. There is Marona (Crossed out and replaced with Lucrecia, in a much sloppier hand), Donatella, Dion, Frazie, Razputin, Mirtala, and Queepie. His family, the people who matter the most to him. There are four tents nearby, circus tents. Each has a label of its own-- One for Lucy and Dona, one for Dion and Queepie, one for Frazie and Mirtala, and one for Razputin himself. 

The Lucy and Dona one requires you to scale ever higher to keep above the rising water, but at the top, you can find them, sitting together. They call you by the wrong name-- Gus, Augie, Mi Caro. They see you as your father. But it’s not hatred in their eyes-- it’s concern. They tell you to stay safe, and they hand their keys over before you’re brought back to the hub, by the big top. 

The one for Queepie and Dion requires you to balance on a ball again, and they bring you through a long passageway, going under the water and coming back up. It’s a lot like Milla’s race course. They see you as a hypocrite, and they complain about you coming to find them, but after talking with them, they hand over their keys, making you promise to come find them when they ask you to. Begging you to be better, since they need it more than anything.

The one for Frazie and Mirtala has a lot of projectiles flying at you, likely a few regrets and judges thrown about. It requires you to make your way through a small obsticle course, and they throw things at you-- knives, acorns, fire. When you reach them at the end, they ask you to play with them again soon, telling you that you could do better, but they love you anyways. They hand over their keys, hug you, and vanish just the same as the others. 

The one for Raz is last. The door won’t open until the others are there, lighting up lights around a poster for Razputin, the newest Psychonaut. Nothing there mentions the Aquatos-- It claims him as Razputin alone. There, there’s a shadowy Raz, taunting and jeering, telling you that you’re wrong. You’re always so wrong about things. It’s a fight against your own shadow, where your shadow has so much more psychic power than you, but won’t do half of the acrobatics you can. He’s furious. He’s spiteful, and mad, and he hates you for the damage you did. When you defeat him, he acts like a child. Complains that you ruined his life. Complains that you’re mean to him. But he hands over his key as he rubs his nose on his sleeve, and he tells you that you had better apologize. 

With all 7 keys, you can unlock the door to the Big Top. There, there’s both Not!Augustus and Augustus, though the latter is stuck in a cage that’s much too small, and the former is dressed more like Gristol, running the show. He’s hurting the actual Augustus, and your father has long since given up. The water flows around the arena, and the final confrontation begins. 

[Insert super cool boss fight with the other 6 people from the family coming to help you.]

After being defeated, Not!Augustus takes Augustus’s cage, using it as a shield. But Augustus fights back. He lets loose a psi-blast against the monster, and the cage falls to the ground. His key clatters to the ground, and Raz gets him out, hugging his father tight.

“...he... Didn’t hurt you?”

“No. I’m okay, Dad.”

“I’m so sorry, Razputin. I’ve been a terrible father.”

That’s when the Not!Augustus monster tries to fight one last time, likely with being mixed with Not!Raz, and you get the final Goggalor-style fight. It’s super easy. Then, at the end of it all, Augustus faces his worst nightmare-- the realization that he’s become just as much of a monster as those he hates- and he’s the one to tell that part of him “You’re wrong.” before shoving it into the abyss.
