LONG POST: KERSTIVIA IS BACK

hi paper mario tumblr 👋 it has been a really long time... my name is apple (i also went by and still go by pie) and i used to be decently active on here in 2020-2021 but kind of lost interest to put it simply. BUT i have decided to come back because i cannot believe my eyes. the super duper rarepair i made when i was 15 is seeing a resurgence right now and im LOSING MY SHIT. shortly after origami king came out (i want to say early august) i coined the ship "kerstivia" which is the pairing of kersti (paper mario sticker star) and olivia (paper mario the origami king). MUCH MORE UNDER THE CUT

part i: a little background...

now i want to start this by saying im not trying to be all like "i was here first everyone back off no fun allowed" its moreso like "i cannot believe this ship i made when i was a kid is still alive and well" and just wanted to provide some context and some behind the scenes if you will as well as some of my old art! i feel like it could be kind of fun.

to start, my medibang files did not transfer over to my new phone, and my old phone has since been factory reset and given to someone else so sadly i dont have the original art files with dates attatched or anything. i also used to have a discord server where id archive my art done on my laptop which has also since been deleted as well as my entire account

i also deactivated my old tumblr where i posted my art because it was cringe but i believe i was under the username stickerstarz or royalstickers. you see i had an obsession with "canon" usernames on EVERYTHING when i was younger so it makes it a little hard to keep up with everything going forward -__-

however i have access to a very old private spam instagram account of mine that has posts from may 2020 to january 2021 that i posted on CONSTANTLY. i wont censor the username cuz it doesnt matter and i dont use it anymore but i logged in just to put my tumblr username in bio to prove this is me i guess LOL its kinda dumb. HOWEVER i may censor some of the captions on these posts because it was a spam/private account and i talked kind of personal on there and to be blunt i was 15 and going insane. MOVING ON

some of the screenshots may have a username/signature cropped out. it is because again allllll my accounts used to have canon usernames, and a lot of them are taken by other people present day. however, some are signed with "appy" which is a shortening of my name, apple. i also used to go by the name "cee" so some signatures are a cursive cee with a drawing of an apple next to it. clearly i was having a little bit of an identity crisis in 2020. hope this clears things up

part ii: the art itself

ill be splitting this into three to four sections: canon designs, human designs, and au designs + human/other au designs. ill touch briefly on my old au when i get to it. had to get around the image limit so please click to zoom in on images and all that if you so wish. REMINDER I WAS 15 AND THESE ARE OLD.

canon designs

note: heres some of my canon design art i did... note i gave Kersti some "hands" in my design for her at some points i just wanted her to have hands sometimes. theyre like magic orb things i guess

human designs

note: i changed my designs for them a lot so there may be some inconsistencies as i figured out what i liked

au designs

note: so back in the day i had a little au where Kersti was also in pmtok but she had been "repurposed" as a folded soldier i think (??? like those cutout guys. like with handaconda? i havent played the game in years and im not looking up the name so idgaf if im wrong) so this was my design for her and thats why she has blocky limbs. my Olivia is more jesterful here in some of them because i wanted her to be a jester. im not going into detail about the au bc it sucks and i forgot it all but theres some context why they look like that LOL

other au designs

note: heres my human designs of my au Kerstivia. also a post from my (also now inactive) art account with a Kersti who took on the form of a boo just for fun. never really went anywhere with that

part iii: miscellaneous stuff and thrilling conclusion

so yeah theres most of my art... one more thing i want to add is if you go on ao3 and try and find Kerstivia ship fics there is one fic. THAT I AM NOT NAMING. by an orphaned author. that i wrote also when i was 15. its bad and i dont write like that anymore but yes that was also me. SIGH.

well anyway, i think thats kind of everything...

if youre wondering what im up to nowadays paper mario is still my special interest so im still into it! it is forever near and dear to my heart. however very shortly after the original creation of Kerstivia i started selfshipping with Huey which has been my primary focus for *checks my notes* A LITTLE OVER 4 YEARS NOW. my autism has led me to other places. ive had this sideblog brewing for a little bit but i suppose this is my grand return to paper mario tumblr? so if youd like to follow that would be fun im gonna draw you guys Kerstivia very soon for old times sake so get excited ^u^

TLDR: EVERYONE GET MORE KERSTIVIA NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💛🩵

note: sorry for the repost tumblr freaked out and posted this originally with no files LOL
