Like Fred the Vampire Accountant?

More anime where the main character is hyperfixated on a niche topic the average person finds boring please

[moltenparadox]

My personal headcanon is that at some point between Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Chet Rippo's shady business practices caught up with him, and he was forced to go into hiding. His appearance in The Thousand-Year Door is a disguise, and he's still some sort of platypus-creature underneath the fake Shaman-robes. But he also learned his lesson, which is why he's more honest about his abilities' downsides nowadays.

Name: Rip Cheato

Debut: Paper Mario

Hello! I am glad you made it. You are just in time, because some guy is here. He's here looking for You! He wants to sell you a Dried Mushroom for 64 coins. Will you buy it? It's not a good deal, but consider this: he has a sort of lamp antenna growing from his scalp. I think that is pretty cool, personally.

He probably makes good use of his lamptenna, since he lives in the sewer. I bet a Sewer Man would know his fungus! Maybe his Dried Mushrooms are impeccable. Maybe he even dries them with his lamp. Don't be judgemental, now. Don't judge someone because his name is derived from "ripoff" and "cheat". Are you the kind of person who would immediately assume someone smells bad, just because their name is Poop Fartley? You better not be. Rip Cheato's name is a little deceiving because while he does sell junk for 64 coins, if you buy what he offers, he'll also sell Star Pieces for 64 coins, and Hoo-Wee! That's a Hot Commodity! I trust him. I think he's just being cheeky for fun.

Name: Chet Rippo

Debut: Paper Mario

Now this guy is whuzzah! What's the deal with this guy! Rip Cheato is weird, true, being strangely human in a game where those are quite limited, but he has a theme going on. He looks like a Sewer Man. Now here we have Chet Rippo, who is some sort of alien platypus clown umbrella? I don't know what he is, but I think it is absolutely splendid. To quote an ancient philosopher:

"Sometimes in life, there is a weird guy." -Opabinia

If I didn't know any better, I might think Chet Rippo would appear from a UFO or circus tent or perhaps a dimensional portal. He doesn't! He just hangs out in Toad Town. He's a weird guy, but a weird guy is still a guy, you know? Except this is no normal guy because he can alter Mario's abilities! For 39 coins he will raise Marios HP, FP, or BP by two points, but- and this is important- he says "heh heh". That means he's shady! For each stat he increases, he will decrease the others each by one!

This makes Chet Rippo far stranger of a guy. Someone in real life could sell you overpriced garbage. But someone in real life altering your stats for a low price? Scary to think about! Imagine someone granting you the ability to remember twice as many bug facts as you currently can, but also making the vision in your left eye worse and making you 25% more sensitive to cold. Frightening magic! But at least the guy doing it is a funny creature.

Chet Rippo appears in The Thousand Year Door as well, but like, does he really? This is a whole different design, and it's not nearly as fun... Eyes In A Void Wizards are fun by default, and so is wearing a barrel on one's head, but this game has a bunch of Eyes In A Void Wizards, and this guy used to be one of the weirdest creatures in the entire game! To hell with this guy. Let's look at his better version again.

Look at him go! Like a flapjack octopus! His arms are even like the fluttering fins! Could he truly just be a big octopus wearing a weird hat? We may never know...

I thought she lived on the box?

went to the gallery today but the best art I saw today was on this electrical box outside

[moltenparadox]

A nice mechanic to ensure you never run out of money.

a moth flies out of my wallet and I instantly kill it with my sword, awarding me the gold pieces necessary to make my purchase

[moltenparadox]

What game is that?

[moltenparadox]

We’ll stop talking about it when you release the list and everyone on it has been arrested, put on trial, and sentenced appropriately.

Which could mean nothing

[moltenparadox]

Without any milk, no less!

okay here’s a stupid doodle of kris and susie taking carpentry classes (very specific request from my bf) that I thought i’d share in light of chapters 3-4 being released (expect new art…. Soon™️)

susie is eating nails (idk if that was clear… lmao)

Frozen, Inc.

[moltenparadox]

Glad, mad, and sad.

I sprited the horrible bird. You all have to live with him now.

[moltenparadox]

He really is a green-shell.

In both versions of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there is normally no way to fall off the roof of the Excess Express during the Chapter 6 boss sequence, as it is surrounded by a railing near the stairs and invisible walls around the top of the cars.

However, if Koops is used to hit the wall of the train in the manner shown, he will recoil through the gaps in the railing and actually fall off the train.

Listen to the story of Abdul Rahman's family

Here lives fell... and homes were destroyed, but hope still awaits your donation.

He stands on the rubble of what was, just hours before, a warm shelter for an entire family. . . A massacre occured here, with more than 20 martyrs were killed in a single moment.

This was his uncle’s house, but now it's no longer there. . . God miraculously granted them their survival. They were pulled from the rubble with serious injuries, while everyone on the upper floor was martyred. Will you wait for the same to happen to the rest of them?

Will they have to be buried beneath the rubble before anyone acts? Help them survive. . . Help them escape Gaza before it's too late. 💔 Every donation from you is a chance for a new life for Abdul. The screams of children, the groans of the wounded, and the smell of dust and blood still linger. . . How long? How long must they wait for death? How long will their blood be allowed to bleed unseen and unheard? 💔

They have lost everything. Now they plead for the chance to live. Your donation today could save a life, and give a child a chance to survive.

Please don’t scroll past. Share. Donate. Be part of saving a life.

Even the smallest donation could be the reason this family escapes.

Only 8% of the €30k goal has been reached so far. Please do your best to donate and share.

Abdul's campaign has been verified by GazaVetters #642.

From Under the Rubble... I Write My Story 🌿

I never thought I would write these words… 😔

I never imagined waking up to endless screams,

Running barefoot through smoke and fire,

Searching for my mother among the rubble,

Only to find nothing but silence… a heavy silence telling me that no one will answer me anymore. 💔

In one moment, everything changed.

Our home became a memory, my mother’s embrace became the past,

And my father's face, now absent, is the last thing I hold in my memory.

They’re gone… and left my heart burdened with unspoken grief. 😢

But despite everything, we are still here… trying.

I survived with my younger siblings.

Yes, we survived… but who are we after survival?

Children without warmth, without a roof, with no place to return to.

We were displaced to an unknown place, carrying a bag empty of everything… except pain. 🥀

We slept in the open, waking every morning to a life that holds nothing for us,

But despite everything… we keep trying. 💪

I write to you today not to cry, but to ask for hope. 🌱

I ask you to be a small light in this vast darkness,

To extend a hand that can mend what the war has broken in us.

Your donation will give my siblings a chance to sleep safely,

It will provide us with food, shelter, and maybe even a new beginning. 💖

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #586 )✅️

Any amount, no matter how small, is big for us

It’s a prayer, it’s love, it’s life. 🌟

In conclusion...

From my heart, and from the hearts of my little siblings,

Thank you to everyone who has donated,

Thank you to everyone who has read,

Thank you to everyone who has shared.

You are the proof that goodness does not die, and that humanity has no boundaries. 💚

[moltenparadox]

Is this how you play Bad Piggies?

[moltenparadox]

Yeah, it’s worth it.

Drew Hayes question: Is Fred worth it? I read and loved Super Powereds, Villains' Code (although I haven't gotten Chilling Reflections yet, so no spoilers), and NPCs!! but I read book one (and maybe 2? I'm not positive tbh) of Fred and it was just kind of meh. It felt so episodic in a way that I didn't find that engaging and I also didn't fall in love with any of the characters that much. Should I give it another shot? Does it get better? Will I become A Normal Amount of Interested™️ about yet another of this man's series?

Rebuilding What Was Erased – A Message from Abedmajed in Gaza

My name is Abedmajed, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

In a single missile strike, we lost over 25 members of our family. They were not just names. They were mothers, daughters, sons, grandparents — people we shared meals with, laughed with, and built dreams with.

The missile hit our family home — the heart of everything we knew.

Among those killed were: 🕊️ My mother 🕊️ My sister 🕊️ My older brother His wife and their three daughters 🕊️ My uncle, his wife, and all their sons and grandchildren

We were left with nothing but rubble and grief. Yet somehow, my brother and I survived. And now, we carry the responsibility of rebuilding what was taken — not just for ourselves, but for our father, our surviving siblings, and the memory of those we lost.

💔 Why We’re Fundraising

This campaign is not just about survival. It’s about rebuilding a future — A family home, a shared life, a place where our father can rest safely, Where the next generation of our family can grow up knowing peace instead of trauma.

💬 The funds raised will help us:

🏗️ Rebuild our family home — which was completely destroyed 🛠️ Provide basic support for our father and siblings 🏡 Create safe, livable conditions for a family shattered by loss

🔒 How the Funds Are Managed

Due to the collapse of Gaza’s financial system, all donations are processed through my brother, who has a U.S. registered Stripe account. Funds are securely transferred to Gaza and distributed in cash here on the ground. We are transparent and ready to provide proof of every step.

🌱 Why Your Support Matters

We are not asking for charity. We’re asking for a chance to stand again, To rebuild something we can pass on to the children who survived.

Vetted By @gazavetters No:537

Your support gives us the strength not just to remember the ones we lost — but to honor them by continuing.

💬 If you can’t donate, a reblog means the world. 🕊️ From Gaza, with hope and dignity — thank you.

What if you don’t think they choose it for sports?

new gameshow idea: cis men have to pretend to be women for a whole year and if anyone ever clocks them they get taken out back of the set and shot in the back of the head like a dog. If they survive the whole year they win the ability to win any one sports competition, after which they will be stripped naked and hanged in the town square in front of a rabidly cheering audience screaming at them that they deserve this. I call it "You seriously think people chose this for the sports thing you stupid fuck?" and participation is random and involuntary.
