#Paper Mario: TTYD

[marcyaugust]

Looking forward to a bunch of trans women coming out and picking the name Vivian in about five to ten years from now :)

[quinnkdev]

so. its looking like the german translation of paper mario: ttyd is continuing to erase the existence of trans people in the world of the game.

(terribly written article, good ol' sebastian ruppert has no idea how to talk about trans people, but im linking it as my source)

this is another grim reminder of the importance of a non-exclusively america-centric worldview.

here in the german-speaking world, several counties both in germany and in austria (jury's out for switzerland, i dont know anyone from there), trans-topics remain extremely controversial and are often used as fodder for right-wing extremists to implement oppressive legislation.

language, as always, is a major focal point to these people. many politicians and ideologues (even ones supposedly on the political left) here weather against language-centric concepts such as "gendering" (i.e. using more gender-neutral avenues of referring to groups of people or individuals), and in a few counties in austria and germany (bavaria in germany and lower austria in austria, for example), its actually fucking outlawed now.

i have faced a lot of discrimination even in the more nominally progressive capital city of austria. an austrian cab-driver once asked me if i was "one of those american tr*nnies". people here believe that it is the united states that "import" lgbtq+ topics to us, but really, the main thing imported from the united states and their political landscape is the "anti-woke" rhetoric of the right.

i will still celebrate; this character (vivian) means the world to me, and so does this game. but never once forget that every win, ANY win, is hard-fought, and that there is more work to be done in places other than the anglosphere.

i know you're in a cuphead mood right now, but with the release of the TTYD remake, i hope we see some more TNMS content!

i know i haven't been vocalizing it at all on my blog. but i want you to know that ive been practically HOLLERING about it in real life!!!!!!!!!!!

every time i got a TTYD remake ad on Youtube I'd CHEER !!!!!! and watch the whole thing !!

i am quite possibly the most excited ive ever been about any game coming out and its a game i already own on gamecube

im so excited i doodled this !! but i got too embarrassed to post it when it was finished.

i'm just.

YAAAAY YAY MARIO YAAY !!!!

It takes a special kind of evil for a Toad to betray his kind and enlist under their oppressors. This secret, optional partner can appear as a foe alongside Magikoopas in a random encounters but will start stabbing them in the back if certain criteria is met. *NOT A REAL GAME

[aro-luigi]

I think Doopliss (PM:TTYD) and Marx (Kirby) give off similar vibes.

So I decided to merge them.

I'm very sleep deprived and I think it's affecting my brain

Dooplix? Marliss? What would be its name?

Mainline Mario games: happy go-lucky; colourful; lighthearted joyful fun platforming and simple, neat stories.

Paper Mario: the Thousand-Year Door: DRAGONS. CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD. REFERENCES TO DEATH (but not really). ANTAGONIST THREATENS TO BLOW UP SHIT. IMPILED MURDER (but not really). AIDING THE MAFIA. MATCH RIGGING AND DOPING IN THE WRESTLING SCENE. LITERAL HALLOWEEN TOWN. GHOSTS. MARIO GETS HIS ACTUAL SOUL STOLEN. WITCH BEATS THE FUCK OUT OF HER TRANSPHOBIC SISTERS (they deserved it ngl). BEREAVEMENT. NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES. A RETREAD OF THE ORIGINAL PRIATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIE. MORE GHOSTS. MURDER MYSTERIES. HERORIC SACRIFICE OF A SENTIENT MACHINE. LITERAL PALACE OF SHADOW. SPOOKY SCARY SKELTONS. EVEN MORE GHOSTS. ANTAGONIST LITERALLY THREATING TO KILL PEACH AND/OR MARIO. DECAPITATION. PEACH GETTING BRAINWASHED AND POCESSED BY AN ACTUAL DEATH GODDESS. THE ACTUAL APOCALYPSE.

Given that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door has been announced for a remake on Nintendo Switch, do you think that they'll change the English localizations so that her transgender identity is intact? I sure hope so.

Paper Mario RPG | Monday, 07.22.24

Exactly 20 years ago, the Japanese version of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (known as Paper Mario RPG) was released on the Nintendo GameCube console.

And now, it's remastered on Nintendo Switch, which is available now!

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake - Part 2 - Boss Blooper

[dooxliss]

you know, i wonder where peach was going at the beginning of ttyd

cause like we know that rogueport wasn’t actually her destination, they stopped there to get fuel

but ig it wasn’t super important or time sensitive since peach immediately invited mario to come with for a scavenger hunt(!!)

pre posting EDIT (i watched an LP): she was on holiday! specifically traveling in the mushroom kingdom, so it could be assumed that rogueport (but not necessarily the rest of the locations) is likely close to the outskirts of her domain

still interesting to think about, like what would’ve happened if she didn’t meet beldam and get the map?

[redgbasp]

I haven’t seen anyone post about this but here’s jerry’s original dialogue vs the remake!

[hbmmaster]

"why are people excited for the transphobia in ttyd" because it means super mario gets to kill transphobes with hammers. game of the year

[thefantastician]
