Sometimes I think about the fact that Sasha’s specialty is not telekinesis (despite him being seen using it The Most) but instead. Psi blast.

Y’know, the ability that involves concentrating negative, aggressive thoughts and feelings into a blast that hurts people and things? The one that a runaway kid with no resources and Many Issues would probably have No Problem tapping into? The one he teaches Raz immediately?

I just. I think about him,,

OUCH. OKAY.

please do tell us about your gay psychonauts headcanons ^^

since ive been ranting about sasha all night heres this to start

some bonus hcs (some related to the above pic, some not):

- he has a cat with a very dumb and either nerdy or otherwise ridiculous name (the name in question is completely up to you. he'll never tell)

- he wears a binder to work usually (and probably wears it longer than he should bc we've all seen how much he prioritizes science over his own health . milla reminds him to take breaks from it in their telepathic conversation though :)c )

- absolutely projecting here but. autism adhd hellcombo and extremely dependent on coffee to function because caffiene is the closest thing to adhd meds he's got

- hollis stopped him from wearing socks and sandals to work but there was No stopping him from coming in with heelies. he skates to his lab and eats shit at least 5 times on the way each time (this is mostly a joke hc but it just feels fitting. i need to make him as much of a comically blatant loser as i possibly can)

Also in addition to everything you’ve said: a man with a healthy relationship with his past and childhood doesn’t become so filled with anger and disgust that he just HAS to psi blast after witnessing a knockoff version of one of the only possessions he knows his mother had in life

YEAH. YEAH. a man with healthy coping mechanisms and healthy relationship with his own neurodivergency would not tell a 10yo shit like "your talent will always set you apart" and "sometimes isolation is a good thing"

Also (I’m the “Sasha’s specialty” anon I just decided to go off anon DJDJDJS) the fact that otto very likely could’ve found sasha by chance and taken him in really makes Sasha being the first to listen to Raz and help him and Not really mention having to call his dad hit different- not to mention the fact that sasha canonically sees Raz as a younger version of himself

sasha saw a young boy with intense psychic prowess that wasn’t very honed, who came to whispering rock (apologies if that’s not the actual name I can’t recall too much of 1 atm) cuz he ran away from home after something happened with his father, and who was Distinctly unwilling to return home, and he went “well. Guess I have a protege” and that is very very cool of him

NO YEAH EXACTLY ppl love to compare sasha and raz and talk about their similarities but not enough ppl actually try to explore sashas side of that and its soo intsresting to me ....

i ranted about this on discord earlier but sasha and raz Do have the similarities w/ parent issues yes but SPECIFICALLY its about the emotional disconnect w/ their dads that raz/kid sasha, in their Little Kid Mind attempting to rationalize a situation thats more complicated than they can properly understand, just took as "oh my dad doesnt like me and is overworking me because he sees me as a burden. i should just leave then and we'd both be better off this way"

when in reality their dads are Struggling to connect with them and care about them SO much but they just don't know how to communicate that.

and what fucks me up more is that unlike raz who did reconcile with his dad and get that chance to properly communicate, sasha might Never know that his dad really did care for him bc he never saw or contacted him ever again after leaving. and on top of that its likely that bc of this, his dad thinks he died after running away and he lost all the family he had left. im going on a completely separate tangent from urs sorry HRGCHHFGJG i just have a lot of thoughts about him and his dad

Thinking about how before Loboto removes Dogen’s brain he goes “Why are you screaming? Oh right, I remember!” And for a moment he like averts his eyes (or weird goggle things, rather) and makes this lil sound almost like a whimper. I dunno, he sure does remember.

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
