The fact mario and luigi dont blame each other for their misadventures.

Bad first day on the job: Happens

The warp pipe excursion: Curiosity vs cat

Not that pointing fingers would do them any good anyways, but yeah, they'd probably hesitate to blame each other even for things that actually were their fault.

Doesn't stop them from blaming themselves though, especially Mario.

Mostly Mario.

eeeyyyy, got bored and tried to draw you from memory.

how good is my memmory?

[boxofoxberry]

origins au anyone?

designs are not final but i have a lot of stuff planned out already ,,, hopefully i'll have the motivation to draw more of it heehee

brief au details under the cut <3

the roles i have planned so far are

jesse: elytrian

JJ (male jesse! they r siblings in this au): bee

axel: shulk

olivia: arachnid

petra: blazeborn

lukas: feline

ivor: phantom

soren: enderian

gabriel: wolf

aiden: avian

maya: slime

gill: merling

radar: enderian

the story follows a 3-life system (meaning a character can die 3 times before they die For Good)

the witherstorm arc isn't the witherstorm arc anymore. more like ivor accidentally starts a war between end-origins and nether-origins to prove to the world that the ender dragon's influence over end creatures is still around. this escalates and eventually leads to the spirit of the wither and the spirit of the ender dragon being summoned through the command block to join the war

jesse is more than a simple elytrian, but they don't know How. elytrians are rare as it is, but they Know that something is different about them compared to regular elytrians. something important. and they're on the brink of driving themselves crazy trying to figure it out

the wither and the ender dragon know what's different about jesse, and use that knowledge against them

petra still gets sick but a) it's not wither sickness, b) it's caused by an entirely different thing altogether, c) it has different effects, is slower and gets worse overtime. it barely presents itself through the war arc and more shows itself afterwards

How uzi think of monster N?

She'd be freaked out at first, but would eventually get used to it. He's still N, just in a different-looking body.

i am tasking you all to inflict massive suffering and pain upon me at my request:

Scared

[mysillyside]

do you have a vague or cryptic way to explain what umineko is about to get ppl to play, like a wizards riddle? because Man. if you dont at least have some cryptic prophecy to pique your interest then you’re going in 100% blind, which even games marketing themselves dont do (unless its the first week of deltarune ch1 which was insane and unrepeatable)

In vaguest possible terms, what is Umineko about?

(This isn't a real screenshot, but an abbreviated, condensed version of a scene from the Visual Novel with the character names and context edited out. At it's core, this is what Umineko is about.)

I mean it when I say that Umineko is one of those stories that is best enjoyed completely blind. It's a story about stories and how we experience them. Don't get me wrong, I don't think spoilers can ruin a story, but when it comes to a mystery like Umineko, which at its core is about solving said mystery and finding out what the truth means to you? It may not ruin the story, but it ruins the experience. (I'm talking from personal experience)

How many siblings do you think soap has?

(taking a massive headcanon here from @/congee4lunch here) soap has two sisters, one older and one younger. the older one is married with two kids already.

On the vox's head remote theme. I headcanon any voxtech remote can actually control him due to Vox constantly adjusting himself for new tech. That was an accident which ended up easily to be ignored than fixed. I think it sounds just like all his rushed updates...

But what saves Vox from eternal humiliation and ultimate weakness is him being a sentient TV, after all. He can easily resist being switched off and all that. Val and Velvet may even use his face to watch some film or call someone through Teams or open maps like in some memes, if he allows it, of course (which happens extremely rarely).

You can only use the remote productively, for your own purposes, if Vox is deeply asleep — but managed to fall asleep with a screen saver on and not turned himself off ('cause if you turn him on with the remote he may wake up). So, if the conditions are right you can actually see his dreams, subconscious thoughts, his memories, plans... But, for the love of the Universe, beware the Alastor channel. The sound there is always so loud you'll wake Vox with his own thoughts... And, after being woken up by Alastor cackling asexually right under his audio sensors Vox does not have a good mood.

(referring to this ask)

LMAOOOO sure, it would be sooooo bad for him but the ideas of his dreams being able to be displayed as he sleeps is so funny and so embarrassing for him. I love that the alastor channel even exists to begin with it just show how rent-free alastor lives in his head

Oh, they kept shaking you! How could they! Poor poor Medic!

And I'm definitely not the one who started it-

I posted something somewhere about Papa Mario’s “these are boys” line being wholesome (and made more so because of who voices the character!) and I got some comments from people who hated the line because it was clear Pio “didn’t give a shit” about either of his sons and only accepted them once they gave him something he could brag about. In other words, he only “cares” about them when they make him look good. I don’t think this is the case, and I get the feeling you don’t either. Can you do a brief analysis on the character given what little we’ve seen of him? :)

Yep, I 100% agree with you. Mario and Luigi's dad may have his flaws, but he definitely cares about his kids.

The thing about Pio is that he strikes me as the family patriarch? At least for as long as the grandpa has been in his twilight years. Not only does Pio appear a lot more emotionally restrained than Uncle Tony and Uncle Arthur, but he's bulkier and moves with a lot less pep. Either he's a good number of years older than either of them, works a far more physically demanding job, or both. Whatever the case, he takes matters with a lot more gravity, and his lapse of judgement at the dinner table seemed to be out of genuine worry rather than disdain or apathy. At first he did his best to talk about anything other than Mario's failing plumbing business, keeping his head down and eating his pasta while everyone else was either defending or teasing Mario and Luigi.

It's only when Mario directly asks his dad for his opinion that he gets right to the heart of the matter:

"I think you're nuts. You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream. And the worst part? You're bringing your brother down with you."

It's harsh, but you can tell he means well. This is not the face of a man who "doesn't give a sh*t." This may be a big joke to Arthur and Tony, but to Pio it's dead serious. Mario's taking a huge gamble with his and his brother's financial stability. Yes, this is Mario AND Luigi's dream, and Luigi is perfectly capable of making his own decisions... but it's clear who's leading the charge and making a lot of questionable choices along the way. If Pio has a place of headship in the family like I suspect, then this statement has a lot more weight to it– he knows what it is to have other people's wellbeing rely on you. It's important Mario understands that if this longshot fails, he won't be going down alone.

Did Mario already know this? Yep. Was telling him he was bringing his brother down a step too far? Absolutely, but Pio was not trying to emotionally gut his son the way he did.

When Mario storms off, he looks blindsided by the reaction.

When everyone stares at him in surprise he asks "what did I say?" in a tone of genuine confusion. This was meant to be a wakeup call for Mario, not a slap in the face. Apparently, Luigi's inability to read a room is hereditary.

But Pio's not a man of pure stoicism, he's still a hot-blooded Italian at his core, so of course he gets so excited when his kids appear out of nowhere to decimate a giant turtle dragon and his invading army??? (Please note the way he's leaning way too far out of that window in his excitement. It's lucky he's got good core strength or he'd be falling right out of the third story into what is still an active war zone.)

When the smoke clears both Mia and Pio are climbing over wreckage to get to Mario and Luigi, well before a crowd has gathered to cheer. The "these are my boys!" was a continuation of the pride Mario's dad had already expressed before he realized anyone else was watching. He has absolutely no idea what just happened, but anyone with eyes can see that Mario and Luigi just did something fantastic! And as much as Pio sees Mario in the leading role– responsible for his and his brother's failures– he also sees him as responsible for their victories.

So yeah. Conclusion: Mario's Dad is a flawed guy who makes big mistakes, but there's no doubt in my mind that he cares a lot about his kids.

anyway for those of you who DO want to protest vote in your primary, here's a great guide for it:

I highly recommend reading it and doing what you can. It will probably not singlehandedly stop the genocide, but it will make the Democratic party sweat.

[write-it-motherfuckers]

What are your pronouns?

Hello Darling, my pronouns are They/Them! And while I hold no issue with some of the gendered terms that my Darlings use for me, if you are ever unsure, sticking to something neutral is always a safe bet🥰

Thank you for asking🖤

[electrozeistyking]

So what happens if beanie catches N just looking in to think air and or just talking to literally nothing?? Does she freak out and think he’s crazy ?

( we all know of course he’s taking to ghost uzi but she of course doesn’t)

She'd just assume he's really lonely and needs more friends (and who knows if it's Ghost Uzi? N can talk to a lot of ghost drones around the Outpost! :D).

Bea has a habit of blurting random things out/telling people things about N that he really wished she hadn't. She's four, so she doesn't know any better, but STILL. His tiny daughter is going around, telling everyone he talks to walls... whoops, guess he's sucking at hiding his ghost sight there.
