Happy 13 Years of SMG4 💙🤍

[marine-indie-gal]

I know that I was supposed to be working on fixing my very first fanfic from SMG4, but after hearing about some news recently of Charles Martinet who's officially retiring his own voice work of his own Mario Characters (The Mario Bros and even the Wario Duo), I figured why not at least draw my own honor of his retirement considering from what I've heard, he's officially become Mario's ambassador (which I feel is something heartwarming but I would also miss Charles giving on how that he's voiced Mario in a lot of Mario fans' childhoods for a wicked long time).

Well, as someone as a Kid back then before I got into SMG4, I never really had much of a huge love for Mario (I never hated his franchise, it was only ok to Me) but my own Cousins did had a few games of Nintendo including Mario in which sometimes I would dare to play any of the Mario games with my Cousins (I even remember one time that while I was on a vacation with my Family, I think one of my Cousins were playing Super Mario Galaxy, I don't remember much, but there were so many Mario games, I never really played them all and would just only play for fun with any of my relatives). But also of note, I did at least remember watching The Super Mario Bros. Super Show (when back then when Peach was only known as "Toadstool" and how Bowser was just only once known as "King Koopa").

Over the years, I was never really much into Mario until when I watched a few Mario parodies (the first one being SML "SuperMarioLogan") but then I grew out of SML (mainly because of the controversies) and how extremely boring it was (seeing as to how I used like Jeffy, blegh).

But when I started to watch SMG4 (around 2021), I became completely obsessed with SMG4 due to how after I was done with SML, I wanted to try something knew and that's kinda where my love for Mario began. Granted, I still do like the Actual Mario but as someone who watches SMG4 all the time, I'm mostly all for the Other Version more than the Canon one (but still support both universes). 

Here, I drew Meggy and SMG4 comforting Mario (either the SMG4 or Nintendo one, you guys figure it out which version of him it is on your own), because even though Charles has already retired, I'll still miss him voicing the Red Plumber (and also the Other Plumbers) that we've all known of. I doubt on how Nintendo would continue Mario without Martinet, but I just wanted to say...

Thank you, Charles Martinet, for being our Famous Plumbers from our Childhood. We wish you very good luck on your retirement life ❤️

update

hello, yoko here.

so some of you may noticed that i changed my username, you can still call me as yoko but once the revamping is started, you will no longer call me by that name. i want to seperate myself from that name that made me known on the smg4 fandom.

this is a very long explanation so its under the cut, and note to people on tumblr around: it contains controversal stuffs happening on glitch productions

this change is because of the smg4 controversy that happened recently, with the main one being taris old va (celeste notley-smith) being replaced by a new one. which is okay at first because celeste is a mother and a teacher and needs to focus on other stuffs and yadda yadda, until you found out that she fired from glitch after 6 years.

6.

FUCKING

YEARS.

now picture this: you are one of the first voice actor/actress from a recently new company, only to get replaced by a new one after years of voicing a character that you dearly love. the new tari va (lottie baurne) almost sounds like her old va and thats okay, but this situation is awful. not only that, robyn (smg2s former voice actress) is stepping down from glitch because of that. she recently made a video about this controversy on her channel "anime america", so please make sure to watch it.

yeah yeah i know jasmine yang (the voice director) made an apology, but that… is just not that good. sometimes we always forget things, but her apology? this is meh. im hoping to see celestes respond about her apology so the situation will be calm once again (like it was used to be… back in the early years). im also looking forward for the lerdwichagul brothers' responds as well.

and about the other controversy, we got glassdoor ratings about employee mismanagement coming from ex-workers, thanks to the ceo… aka kevin. i dont understand why kevin was hated by everyone back then, but it turns out that they are right. kevin is a completely different person with cameras OFF. that one scene from the episode "smg4… are you okay?" where smg4 tortures toads into manipulation by making videos for his channel became more obvious with this one. the good side is we havent heard about luke (smg4) yet.

on the other hand, i will probably start a career as a utau producer once i have speakers for my pc, dowloaded utau, and practiced how to use that software (hence the "prod" on my url). there is a chance that kikyuune aiko will be my main. smg4 stuffs will still be around, however you will see less smg4 stuffs here due to the controversy and the fact that this is a multifandom account aside from my likes. buuuuut that does not mean ill stop working on pandemic love distortion. (for those who didnt know about this one, its a wip smg34 fanfic made by me that was put on developmental hiatus due to irl stuff)

and for those who havent heard of it already, i will permanently post all my future arts to @blueberry-arts, but previous arts from my main will still be here and remain. so if you want new arts from mine go to my other account pls 🙏

soooooo i guess that will be all. thank you for reading.

signed, yoko. 🫐
