Psychonauts x Gravity Falls crossover/something in that āMystery Kidsā vein, except on specifically the Psychonauts end Gravity Falls is treated as a weird nightmare Twilight Zone place bc. What do you mean psychic powers āarenāt a Thingā here- Hello? What??
And like- Raz is plenty happy to infodump about Psychic Science to this random 12 year old boy/these twins who admittedly kinda creepily stalked him around but seem pretty open to the idea at least (also ngl his sister has the best stuff to talk about when it comes to scrapbooking/journaling, and she thought Harold was cool so thatās an automatic point for her in both Raz and Liliās books-), and even if Liliās more annoyed by the questions/on edge in general about this place, it did feel kinda cool showing off her pyrotechnics and having them react like its something theyād never seen before (plus, Dipper did seem pretty interested in the whole idea of herbaphony/what plants had to say- also it was pretty funny seeing him freak out when she asked about that journal he was trying to hide- maybe if you didnāt want it known about you shouldāve had better mental defenses, or at least not pulled it out in front of her, doofus!), but like. Itās still weird as hell that theyād be considered āan anomalyā by the standards of this place (also, the fact that the maps they see donāt even match their idea of Earth in the slightest- where are they?!)
Also- Raz/Lili accidentally blowing up Gideonās whole shtick mostly on accident/mostly on purpose respectively bc on Liliās end this guy is the biggest insult to psychics since the āPsychics are Satanicā panic/ the āCuring-Psychics Snakeoilā stuff, and on Razās end- listen, heās a circus performer, normally he has a respect for the act + even if his family never partook he knows from other carnies heās met what it means to have to play into the kooky mysticism if it means getting enough attention to have a show, but also- like! This guy clearly is not struggling for money at all, what heās doing is just unethical and embarassing, and like. Heās just cold-reading/hot-reading people. Heās just cold-reading/hot-reading people?? Heās not even being subtle about it Raz can see the friggin cameras!!
(Aaand apparently thereās also some freaky weird memory-deleting cult they have to worry about too, which. Yeah no THATāS a job for the Psychonauts if theyāve ever seen one, and some kind of dream-creature in the collective unconscious- just. and they think theyāre the weirdos?! What the hell, man. What the hell-)
