I rarely post, but this is soemthing personal for me. I've spent a good portion of this year working on my first "product" as a maker. This is an amiibo shelf I've designed and made entirely myself!

https://lychansubscribe.etsy.com

I used mosou black for the black hole effect

Used acrylic rods to act as a light pump for the floaty bits orbiting the black hole

And a LOOOOT of LEDs

Please consider buying one as they become available! They'd make an amazing gift for anyone who likes smash brothers or amiibo in general

UPDATE 11/24/2023: Finally back in stock! Also, forgot to mention the blue parts are actually color shift as well.

Update 12/25/2023 spent all of Christmas resupplying the store. Ive been covering all My costs, but not by enough to have a surplus of materials. It also takes several hours to assemble each one. With all that in mind I will be raising the price on these going into next year. However the 5 I put together now will go for the current price. So if you've been thinking about it this is your last chance before the price increases a bit. I know a lot of people have favorited it so I wanted to make one last batch before I raised the price so no one feels like they missed out.

Hopefully I'll be able to have some new designs in the shop early next year as well!

Update 02/18/2024

Wow! It's been a minute, Ive been resdesigning the internal components to make everything easier and faster to assemble, unfortunately the current batch succeeded in the exact opposite of that! I've also replaced the little screw-on connector as seen in the video with a more polished looking barrel Plug receiver and found a new printer for my backgrounds to make them scratch resistant. I have 4 fully assembled and available for sale as of today and I have a few left to assemble in this batch.

TOP 10 GAMES ON FANFICTION.NET BASED ON NUMBER OF FANFICTION (1999-2022)

To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Games Section on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.

In 2000-2006, FFN used Miscellaneous RPG as a catch-all tag for all books that didn’t have their own category yet. It was then renamed to Misc. Games in 2007 before it was removed by 2008.

In 1999, fanfiction weren’t divided into sections like Anime/Manga, TV, Books, etc. yet. It was just a small list of mixed fandoms.

In 2000, Final Fantasy had 2372 fics and then dropped down to 743 the next year because separate categories were created for each Final Fantasy game instead. This category was removed from the Games section by 2006.

Originally, the fanfiction list was sorted alphabetically too, but was changed to number of fics at around early 2013.

By November 2013, FFN started abbreviating numbers above 1,000 to K, so exact numbers aren't available for series with more than 1,000 fanfiction.

This bar chart was made with the assumption that the numbers listed in the Games section are correct. I can't seem to get the same numbers for some of these categories when I go to the specific categories' page and toggle ratings, other filters, and language to All though... I'm not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. (And it’s not the crossover fic numbers that need to be added to serie’s total fics from what I’ve observed.)

Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

Honestly the funniest part about World of Light to me

[goofybandit]

Diddy Kong and Bowser Junior are besties :)

subspace emissary friends

[theangelofangst]

Words fail me on how much I love this scene. I love Luigi coming in, giving his brother a simple “hey” and presenting the food he felt behind, wanting to make sure his big brother eats, then he tries to comfort and reassure his brother that their father’s words are false.

Then he listens to his brother’s feelings, being completely silent as Mario vents.

Then we have Mario being 100% vulnerable with Luigi because he knows he can be 100% vulnerable and is comfortable around his brother to be. Telling his little brother how small he feels and how upset/frustrating he feels about others never taking them seriously cuz this world just doesn’t understand them.

You ever think about how Ganon managed to have more fun with how he's portrayed in Super Smash Brothers Brawl than he gets to have in Tears of the Kingdom over a decade later?

The Subspace Emissary was whatever, say what you will about it, but Ganon got to do all the scheming and backstabbing he should have gotten to do in Tears.

Serving under a villain and waiting for the right time to strike is peak Ganon behavior

HE DID THE THING. HE BOWED WHILE GIVING THE SINISTER SMILE TO SHOW HIS TRUE PLANS

I also appreciate that Brawl shows that you can drop Ganon into a world centuries ahead of his own in terms of technology and he's perfectly fine using it.

He also gets to take out the ROB machine and Bowser.

Not only did they have a shot where Link and Zelda both think about and agree to release Ganon, but Ganon is like "whatever, I just wanna get back at that dude."

The constant image of Ganon Bowing and serving to hide his true intentions is a recurring image even in spinoffs.

A Super Smash Bros Ultimate Moveset for The Princess

General Playstyle

The Princess can be considered a grappler. Her attacks do a lot of damage, but have significant startup, as she nearly always needs to change into one of chapter two or three forms to attack. She is a heavyweight character (that chain weighs her down), albeit one of the lightest heavyweight, having the weight of the sandbag*. She is decently fast on the ground (faster than R.O.B., but slower than Kirby), but slower in the air, having the same airspeed as Snake and Villager with a high falling speed (the same as Bowser), as well as being burdened with a somewhat small jump height (the same as Zelda). This generally makes her unable to go high over the stage, but she can go off it due to ridiculous up-special recovery. She does not have access to many useful projectiles, but has many command grabs. 

Notes: The Princess is able to crawl.

Ground Attacks

Jab -- The Soft Princess: The Soft Princess continuously stabs downwards. Low damage, but hard to escape from.

Forward tilt -- The Witch: The Witch stabs the pristine blade forward and slightly up. This attack does significant extra damage if The Witch stabs the opponent’s back, and almost no damage if that is not the case.

Up tilt -- The Burned Grey: The Burned Grey throws a torch in an arc forward. Low range, but lights opponents that it hits on fire.

Down tilt -- The Thorn: The Thorn directs thorny vines from the ground to her body. One of The Princess’s quickest attacks, but does self-damage.

Dash attack -- The Eye of the Needle: The Eye of the Needle rushes forwards with her arms swinging.

Smash Attacks

Forward smash -- Heart-ripper (The Spectre): The Spectre reaches into the opponent’s body and takes out their heart. While this locks the opponent in place and does significant damage, she is vulnerable while her hand in the body. The opponent collapses to the knocked-down state once the heart is ripped out. Has significant endlag.

Up smash -- The Apotheosis: The Apotheosis grows to a massive size before quickly shrinking back to the Princess’s base form. Has significant knockback and startup.

Down smash -- The Fury: Command grab. The Fury grabs her opponent and rotates them so they are hidden from the camera, behind her body. They take damage and are knocked straight up.**

Aerial Attacks

Neutral aerial -- The Adversary: The Adversary elbow bashes forward.

Forward aerial -- The Beast: The Beast lunges forward, her mouth open, propelling the princess forward. If an opponent gets in range of the attack, they will be bitten.

Back aerial -- Let’s Go Again (The Adversary): The Adversary grabs an opponent behind her, twists and throws them, sending them flying in front of her.

Up aerial -- The Den: The Den flaps her wings and pounces upwards at an angle, her mouth open. If an opponent gets in range of the attack, they will be bitten.

Down aerial -- The Drowned Grey: The Drowned Grey summons her corpse to drag those directly below her down.

Grabs & Throws 

Grab -- The Razor: The Razor unsheathes a sword from her right arm and attempts to skewer an opponent.

Pummel -- She Skewers You (The Razor): The Razor unsheathes her left arm and skewers hers opponent, then pulls out her left sword

Forward throw – The Empty Cup (The Razor): The Razor explodes into her final form and swings her left hand, knocking the opponent in a low angle, but taking self-damage, as her hand crumples.

Back throw -- No Way Out (The Razor): The Razor unsheathes her left arm sword and uses it to skewer and drag her opponent behind her. The knockback the opponent will take will be skidding on the ground.

Up throw -- Mutually Assured Destruction (The Razor): The Razor explodes into her final form and uses both blades to throw her opponent diagonally upwards. A kill-throw that isn’t that great at killing, but does significant damage to make up for it.

Down throw -- The Arms Race (The Razor): The Razor unsheathes her left arm and uses it to whack her opponent off her right sword, bouncing them off the ground in front of her.

Get-up Attacks

Floor attack (front) -- The Harsh Princess: The Harsh Princess gets up and attempts to slit where a human’s throats would be with the pristine blade. Slow, and has a small hurtbox.

Floor attack (back) -- The Prisoner: The Prisoner rolls onto her back, summons a chain that will latch onto an opponent the right distance away, and pulls them towards her, knocking them down and towards her.

Floor attack (trip) -- Roots of the Wild (The Witch): The Witch summons roots in front of her to crush the opponent’s legs or equivalent.

Edge Attack -- The Wraith: The Wraith grabs her opponent’s leg/bottom part and crushes it.

Special Attacks

Neutral special -- The Nightmare: The Nightmare floats next to her opponent and raises her index finger to their face, doing damage, but not paralyzing them. Can be canceled into Down Special.

Side special -- The Tower: The Tower points forward, forcing them to hurt themself (usually by punching themself), although they are still able to move. The opponent attacking will end this effect. Has decent range.

Up special -- The Spectre: The Spectre becomes invincible, and slowly floats upwards. She can go through the stage, which will extend the timer of the move until she is out of it. There is notable endlag when exiting from the stage, and The Princess will go into free fall when this move ends while she is in the air.

Down special -- The Moment of Clarity: The Nightmare takes off her mask and forces her opponent to look at her face, paralyzing them and doing damage. Must be canceled from neutral special, has no effect otherwise (The Princess will motion to take off a mask, and look confused). The most damaging of all her attacks, excluding final smash.

Final Smash -- The Shifting Mound. Opponents in The Princess’s surrounding area are taken to The Long Quiet, where the Shifting Mound bursts from the floor, sending opponents upwards and doing damage.

Animations & Aesthetics

On-screen appearance -- The Princess flickers in front of a halfway-open door*** before solidifying fully.****

Taunts

Up taunt -- The Damsel: The Damsel becomes more poorly drawn up to four times. The up taunt input must be pressed again for each time.

Side taunt -- The Stranger: The Stranger shatters and multiplies up to four times. If cancellation is attempted, The Stranger will instantly multiply into five Princesses before the taunt is canceled. 

Down taunt -- The Networked Wild: The Princess becomes the Networked Wild. If attacked while performing this taunt, she will enter shield-break.

Shield-Break -- The Wounded Wild: The Wounded Wild is stuck in a small tree for the duration of shield-break.

Up -- The Shifting Mound opens the construct, holding hands with The Long Quiet.

Right -- The Stranger opens the door out of a cabin, holding hands with The Long Quiet.

Palutena’s Guidance

Palutena: You’re in Skyworld. And in Skyworld there is a temple. And in that temple is a princess. You’re here to KO here. If you don’t, it will be the end of the match.

Pit: Forget about that! Why does she fight like that!

Palutena: The Princess took most of her fighting style from when she was placed in a life-or-death situation, so the way she fights is…brutal.

Viridi: Well, you can avoid most of her attacks if you just don’t get grabbed! Her attacks have a lot of start-up and little range, so pepper her from a distance and zone her out!

Pit: That’s harder than you make it sound! She has a lot of dirty tricks!

Palutena: Pit, respect your great-great-grandmother.

Pit: WHAT?
