[MERGED] Benny Blanos

Benny Blanos is a content creator encountered by Psyche at a convention who left sufficient impression to be cited as an inspiration for Psyche's own media work. His appearance in the archive is indirect—mentioned rather than present—suggesting influence operating at the periphery of documented interaction.

Benny appears only in passing reference during "Monday Morning Panel," where Psyche invokes him as a model or touchstone for his own creative direction. The mention carries the weight of genuine influence rather than casual name-dropping; Psyche positions Benny's approach or presence as something worth emulating or learning from. The context suggests a convention encounter—a brief, physically proximate moment that nonetheless registered as significant enough to shape Psyche's thinking about how to conduct his own work in content creation and broadcast.

Benny's relationship to Psyche is unidirectional in the documented record: source of inspiration rather than collaborator or recurring dialogue partner. No other figures in the archive are recorded as having direct contact with or commentary on Benny Blanos. His role remains peripheral—a ghost influence rather than an active node in the network of the show's ecosystem.
