Duke: I feel like women like me, but they don’t respect me.

*Da Da Dun Da Da Dun*

Raz: Well, do you respect them?

*Da Da Dun Da Da Dun*

Duke: I mean, I like to think so, but I am a playboy, y'know? Haven’t had many serious relationships.

Raz: I’m sorry if this is crossing a boundary, but how’s your relationship with your mother?

Duke: Oh, just terrible. It’s that obvious, huh?

Old Lili sketch I touched up

There’s a moment in Psychonauts 2 where Raz calls Lucy his “Nona” and Gristol laughs and mocks him for being confused. At first it just seems like him rubbing salt in the wound over Raz’s troubled family life.

But thinking back to it recently, I realized was also some really interesting subtext behind it: it shows how the two characters have a very different view on what “family” means.

Lucy isn’t Raz’s biological grandmother, but as Mirtala points out at one point, she’s the only “Nona” the kids have ever known. She did all the things a grandma would do, and took care of Augustus since he lost Marona. In every single way, she’s the grandmother of the family.

Gristol grew up the heir to a royal family. By rite of succession he was to be the next king (Gzar) of Grulovia, and his entire motivation is getting that back. Naturally, titles and lineage are something very important to him. They’re what he bases his whole worldview around. His entire brain is a literal propaganda display for monarchy. From the dismal state of his apartment we can tell he lives alone and neither of his parents are around anymore, and he resents his father for how he squandered his inheritance.

Raz has a healthy (albeit dysfunctional) family, and and even though the lines are a little blurry on how everyone fits in together, they all love each other. Gristol on the other hand is all alone, and the only thing that makes his relatives a “family” is that he knows who they all are and what order they go in.

For Raz, a family is a group of people who love each other, but for Gristol, a family is just your lineage. It’s actually way more sad for Gristol than Raz. Raz has a “fake” Nona who loves him, and Gristol has a “real” family who are all either dead or hate each other.

Talkin’ about those dang ol’ pubescent mystery solvers man, dang ol’ tell you what it’s like all that spooky stuff happens when you’re got-dang twelve. Don’t need no spooks or ghosts that early in my dang ol’ life man I got that dang ol’ puberty to worry about man. Dang ol’ leave me alone man, lemme do my homework in peace.
