Psychonauts x Gravity Falls crossover/something in that “Mystery Kids” 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 “aren’t a Thing” 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 that’s an automatic point for her in both Raz and Lili’s books-), and even if Lili’s 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 they’d 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 didn’t want it known about you should’ve had better mental defenses, or at least not pulled it out in front of her, doofus!), but like. It’s still weird as hell that they’d be considered “an anomaly” by the standards of this place (also, the fact that the maps they see don’t even match their idea of Earth in the slightest- where are they?!)
Also- Raz/Lili accidentally blowing up Gideon’s whole shtick mostly on accident/mostly on purpose respectively bc on Lili’s end this guy is the biggest insult to psychics since the “Psychics are Satanic” panic/ the “Curing-Psychics Snakeoil” stuff, and on Raz’s end- listen, he’s a circus performer, normally he has a respect for the act + even if his family never partook he knows from other carnies he’s 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 he’s doing is just unethical and embarassing, and like. He’s just cold-reading/hot-reading people. He’s just cold-reading/hot-reading people?? He’s not even being subtle about it Raz can see the friggin cameras!!
(Aaand apparently there’s also some freaky weird memory-deleting cult they have to worry about too, which. Yeah no THAT’S a job for the Psychonauts if they’ve ever seen one, and some kind of dream-creature in the collective unconscious- just. and they think they’re the weirdos?! What the hell, man. What the hell-)
