I love him

Thank you for feeding me tonight

Another post about Crispin bc I find him the most fascinating Thorney Towers inmate as he's one of only two inmates we're never able to enter the mind of (and who isn't shown to overall be quite nice, unlike Sheegor/Penelope).

Under the cut bc it's long and rambly, it's based on facts we see in the game but it gets a bit headcanony

So, Crispin is an interesting case. We can assume he was admitted to Thorney Towers due to his catatonia and asocial behaviour, but what caused it initially is unknown. He responded quickly to play therapy and was good at it too. He's also never shown to be a physically violent person. In Fred's flashbacks he's either unresponsive or simply gloating over his victory, and in the present day he seems pretty disinterested in violence (he even runs when Fred confronts him). He's very cruel with his words, yes, but unlike Edgar's bouts of rage or Gloria's aggression towards those she mistakes for her mother, Crispin isn't shown to be physically dangerous in the canon we know, either to himself or others.

So.. why's he still in the straightjacket, even after the asylum's closure? Fred's straightjacket is symbolic of his learned helplessness (and I do think it's symbolic that Crispin and Fred are the only inmates still restrained, given their shared history), but Crispin isn't as clear. And he never seems to question it himself, despite believing he's the orderly.

So personally, I think it's a control thing. Loboto's confirmed to have taken preventative measures against psychics for both his "employees" as we can't enter their minds, but he also seems to take extra measures. He takes Mr. Pokeylope hostage to keep Sheegor "in line", and for Crispin.. he takes physical measures.

None of the inmates aside from Fred acknowledge Crispin's existence. He's never mentioned when they decide to leave, nobody wonders where he is. Either they really don't like him, or perhaps they don't even know he's still there. He never leaves his post at the lift, and whilst Fred's straightjacket symbolises being confined by his own mind, Crispin's perhaps symbolises being confined by Loboto. His eyesight is severely limited and with his arms bound it could be risky going anywhere on his own, especially an abandoned building complex. Safer to stay where he is.

If you try to enter his mind Loboto refers to Crispin as "my patient"; perhaps he's deemed the straightjacket still necessary for one reason or another. Crispin -or at least a part of him- knows he isn't actually the orderly. As soon as he sees Fred lucid and unrestrained he refers to him as the Chief Orderly, even though Fred has actually been an inmate for some time. Either Loboto convinced Crispin he was an orderly and the idea was broken once the power dynamic between him and Fred flipped, or Crispin tried to convince himself that was the situation to cope.

Whatever's going on with Crispin, I don't think it's fair to assume he's some evil master manipulator or physically violent or anything like that. He was already admitted to an asylum, and his mental processing has been tampered with in some way by another mentally unstable individual in Loboto. And the one thing about his past we do know about (Waterloo-O) he's vilified for on occasion, as if he actively set out to drive Fred mad. Crispin's not a nice person, no, but there's no reason to assume he's a bad person either. And given Oleander, Loboto and Lucrecia have all been given second chances, it's bizarre to me that Crispin is given such a dismissive ending. Not that he needed anything big, mind you, but he could've at least been able to leave the island with the others. He was abandoned by the world like the rest of them were.

I swear to god if I get one more email about the psychonauts intern program I'm gonna lose it. I went to ONE college fair LEAVE ME ALONE

Weekly reminder that the movie "Carrie" is super problematic and caused a psychic panic when it was released! It is not good psychic representation, and I'm tired of people posting about it like it is! Its very obviously anti-psychic and portrays us as evil!

Weekly reminder that without movies like Carrie psychics wouldn't have a screen presence at all

While I took care of children in the past, Psychic summer camp is a different beast! Just recently, I turned my back on them for one minute, and when I turned back, they were smacking each other upside the head with cardboard tubes! I turned around and scolded them for harming each other. Then they started smacking each other with telekinesis, so I decided the tubes were better. Children... are weird.

Hayyyyy guys! I found this weird glowing crystal, I feel like it has a really strong aura, but it makes it a bit hard to focus when I'm around it. Its quartzlike and I found it on the side of the road, yellowish in tint. Does anyone know what this is? Help appreciated!

Okay, so, I get it, funny haha slenderman joke. but op, if this is still in your house,

GET IT OUT RIGHT NOW

That is psilirum, a radioactive, psycho-magnetic material. Its very similar to psitanium but has opposite effects. If you're psychic, it can weaken your psychic abilities, and cause hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions. It can also cause nearby electronics to fail, possibly creating fires and bricking your pc.

Though, its honestly strange that it would be found outside the rhombus of ruin. Its likely a smuggling operation of some kind or even artificial psilirium, report it to the authorities ASAP with the location you found them and keep them in some sort of container from now.
