“Psychonaut in Paris” meta-memes part 1:

Going for the "Hypothetical Show" angle, Lila messing with Marinette would be a 4 parter, titled "Marinette's Studio" as a whole.

The first part wold probably be called "Lila" or "Liar", something along those lines. This would be from Lila's perspective, and would give us a look into Lila's backstory, and show how she had been manipulating her classmates. She then does the "thing" to Marinette, possibly using a certain purple material to enhance her powers. It ends with Marinette collapsed, and Richard entering the room in a very ominous way (Think goggles down and glowing). (Cue collective screaming from the fandom.)

The second episode, titled "Mental Doorway" or "Mental Connection", would start where the first ended, with Richard at the doorway, Marinette unconscious, and Lila trapped with nowhere to go. He grabs her by the hand and drags her to Marinette. Lila tries to lie and say that she just found her passed out, but he butts in and tells her he already knows that she messed with Marinette's head, after all, she's thinking way too loud about it. Now, he needs to help Marinette, and to teach Lila, pulling out a door. "What's that for?!?" "You'll find out in a sec." Cue them entering Marinette's mind, probably followed by an establishing shot and Lila looking in awe. The rest of the level plays out here and the next episode, titled "Psychonaut" (There were so many theories based on this episode prior to release, especially given the similarities to Aquanaut's name)

"Psychonaut" continues the level, and has flashbacks to Richard's past as a Psychonaut, finally revealing what the Psychonauts are: an international psychic spy organization based in America.That Richard so happens to be a member of. (This was foreshadowed in various episodes, but the idea that they're the good guys trying to stop Hawk Moth had been overshadowed by Villain!Goggalor and a few episodes where Psychonaut tech was misused.) Also, casual references to how Raz broke into a government facility, and saved the world twice running on PSI-pops and Dream Fluffs. (Memes about this show up, perhaps relating to a previous short about everyone getting their hands on PSI-pops:

Most kids eating magic lollipops: (*Video of screaming kids)

Richard "Raz" Dartagan eating magic lollipops: (*Video of Superman stopping a meteorite*))

The final episode, A "Friend", would focus on fighting the titular "Friend", and would wrap it up for the most part. There would be a few questions left, such as what Richard's real name is(Though a lot of people have their suspicions), how he came to be a Psychonaut, the "Lady Lucktopus" incident, ect. and most of the fandom writes fanfic about it. (There is side media that expands on it, mostly comics, however it doesn't get released for a while, Double Fine knowing all too well how publishers get leaks all the time and not wanting to spoil this event)

My Comments:

(I legitimately saw this immediately after waking up and I am still freaking out over it it’s just so freaking GOOD—)

This. This is the kind of stuff I wanted to hear as soon as the “hypothetical show” angle was opened up to me. And I love it so much.

I can already imagine all the theories about these episodes by the names alone. Especially “What’s Lila going to be doing? (Lila)” and of course “HOLY HECK I THINK WE MIGHT BE GETTING ANSWERS (Psychonaut)” and I doubt it’d be revealed that it’s a freaking FOUR PARTER beforehand so everyone is assuming the episodes are separate as usual

After “Lila” the entire fandom is freaking out because A) Lila has powers that seem related to some of the stuff Raz has done before B) She has done something very bad to Marinette and C) That final shot of “Richard”

I feel like the second episode would make more sense to be called "Lady and Fairy" or something to keep up the theme of episodes named after...names XD, and I imagine people would be thinking "Are there going to be two Akumas?" before "Lila" comes out and then the fandom starts going crazy trying to predict what this episode is gonna be like with that in mind.

"Psychonaut" feels like it'll end up being impactful on the same level as "Chat Blanc" was in reality. The audience is finally learning about what has been hinted at since Raz's introduction, and the mysterious Psychonauts have now been explained. There is an organization of psychic secret agents that are also trying to take down Hawk Moth, and Raz is one of them. He's also saved the world before?! Imagine the speculation from the handful of details given. Plus, the viewers have also gotten a look at a whole other Miracle Box, which would provide some definite fanfic fuel.

And finishing off with "A Friend", where Lila begins the road to redemption...and learning, along with Raz, Marinette's identity as Ladybug. Everyone loses their MINDS at this, and there's probably some fighting among fans caused by that internal revelation. Not to mention all the new questions that all the reveals have brought up, like how Raz saved the world before, and the identity of "Razputin" still hasn't been entirely confirmed, and who are those other people in the flashbacks, and why does Raz have experience in fixing bad connections, and there's so many different theories and ideas.

Also, I love the idea of side comics eventually revealing the events of the games! I'd been personally wondering about maybe a side tv series, but having it be comics? GENIUS! Actual "True Psychic Tales" issues! Probably illustrated by Scott Cambell! When the comics come out, the entire fanbase is analyzing every last bit of it, there's youtube videos and tumblr posts galore explaining the different stories...

(Maybe even rumors of a video game being worked on…Psychonauts the game made a reality in this universe, perhaps?)

Psilence and Noisemaker would absolutely bicker. Raz is worried that the rest of the family would be akumatized. Including himself. Also, PiP Meta fic where that actually happens, where Aquanaut facepalms because all the Aquatos are Akumatized except Augustus, who is currently making out with Akuma!Donatella.

Oh my goodness it totally would be a fic

And Augustus totally would

PiP idea: The reveal that psychic powers actually exist could be during Simon Says (which might happen earlier in the season), where Raz gushes about Simon Grimault being a famous psychic. This could also a showcase of Psiphobia; Simon is given an extremely unfair challenge since Gabriel can just. Turn the screen off.

However, prior to (or after) this, there could be some other hints at psychic powers. Some ideas for that are:

After Stormy Weather is deakumatized, Mireille tells Aurore that it isn't fair that Aurore lost, though she doesn't say why.

In the background of one scene, Nathaniel is seen holding a book with his left hand and drawing with his right, when he turns back a page without moving his right hand. The angle makes it seem like it's an animation goof, like Nathaniel was supposed to turn it back with his right hand. Alan jokingly points it out and sarcastically says that this is obviously foreshadowing that Nathaniel is psychic. He is unknowingly right.

Nino, in the background of one scene, is shown emitting music note figments.

Perhaps one of the biggest ones is that after Fred Haprèle is deakumatized, he subtly reveals that he has psychic powers similar to what he exhibited when akumatized, just on a far smaller scale. (Psychic powers are hereditary, after all, so Mylène could very well have inherited hers from her father.)

Oh yes I love this that’s legitimately perfect

After the episode everyone is like “Goggalor’s powers makes a lot more sense now” cause he’s been shown/hinted at having other powers different from his Miraculous and now people can correctly connect that “Oh he’s a psychic”

Mireille didn’t even want to win she was just going the contest to try to boost her confidence, also: the two weathergirls helping with the anti-psiphobia campaign perhaps? Helping Chloé get it public?

PURPOSEFUL ANIMATION ERROR YES THATS GLORIOUS Alan just “Maybe it’s proof that he’s psychic? Or it’s probably just an error.” and turns out it was actually Nathaniel being psychic

Imagine the background figment projection turning up as early as BUBBLER and back then everyone assumed it was part of the Akuma but no it was just something Nino can do naturally and everyone is just ???

That. That is clever. A double-foreshadow. Also mimes are cool and psychic mimes are by extension even cooler.
