Here's a ton of art I made of my friends characters, lol.

I only realized after I had drawn the third one (a character called "Stones") that without line art it looked like Ash baby, hence the last one.💀

The cell phone girl is also a really old piece that I made, I still really like it though!

The one with orange hair is My friends character called sticks, I thoroughly enjoy them, though a lot of the art I made of them is pretty old.

The second image Is art of my friend's character ("Gummy") which I made more recently than the others. And I THOROUGHLY enjoyed drawing him.

If you have any questions about them, let me know, though I can only answer so much!

Hello friends!! Welcome to the Top 5 Tuesday topics post: October-December 2024!! Ahh, our wrap up posts for 2024 are imminent!! And you know what, I’m a little bit excited about it. The November and December topics are always my favourites, every year. I think what I love is partially the part where I don’t need to make up topics… But I also love wrapping up the year of reading. If YOU would…

"Welcome! I'm glad to see that we still have people interested in volunteering. We have 6 positions open this Riverseason, 3 at each of the base camps. After you fill out your paperwork I'll take you to meet the new Companions and we'll see who you connect with!"

every few years after a heavy rainy season the river swells and a lush, high, patch of forest grows around its fattened middle in a matter of days. during this time strange Creatures emerge to nest in the surrounding area, which is seemingly a safer place to rear young than the forest, and then migrate back when the river begins to lower in a few months. neither the creatures nor the Townsfolk know why the forest appears or what exactly is going on with the river but they learned long ago to (mostly) live in peace. 

while the forest makes most people uneasy, some are very eager (maybe too eager) to explore it. this includes some young Creatures who seem equally compelled to Enter. experience says that mixed teams have a better chance or survival (little guy with Powers + person with thumbs and camping supplies is a pretty good combo even if communication can be rough sometimes) and so that is how the scouting trips operate. scouts start at either upriver or downriver base camps just outside the forest and try to follow the river the entire way to avoid getting lost.

it is so easy to get lost.

most people lose sight of the other scouting teams about half a mile in even though they're all following the same river and going in the same direction. best case scenario is that you make new discoveries, map out a few things, and make it out the other side in way more time than it should really take to walk to the other side. worst case is you can't find your way out before the river starts to dry up and you hope the rain is heavy next year. 

pictured above are the little Companions ready to hike in with someone this season. you will only learn their names if you connect with one, but in loose power typing terms we've got:

a prophesy type (omens good and bad. tea leaves, smoke, tiny bones)

a wander type (never settled and never has to be. a shifter of sorts)

a fungal type (more than it seems. eager for friendship)

a celestial type (looking into the void. navigating by starlight)

a dirt type (grounded and persistent. a terror to terrors)

and a sylph type (the air in your lungs. the invisible belief)

which Companion will you choose? what name comes to you when they choose you back? 

[improper-use-of-germx]

Aliens that don't feel "love" until they already know someone for a long time, but when their subconscious realizes what an ideal partner someone would be they're flooded with hormones. Suddenly your best alien buddy is locking themselves in their quarters every time you so much as make eye contact. They borderline refuse to even talk to you anymore, leaving the rest of the crew to suffer under the endless ramblings. "Do you think they'll be warm enough on this mission? Yesterday they slept eight hours, but tonight they only slept seven and a half, maybe I should alert the doctor. What is gifting etiquette for humans? Can I give them this human dessert I bought or must I pretend it was on sale first? Or is it inappropriate to give sweet foods to a coworker? Does chocolate hold some kind of double meaning I don't know about?? Maybe you should just give it to them—"

The entire crew begs you to just ask them what the hell is up. They do end up breaking (how could they say no to you?), and they try to explain it as medically as they can, as if you being in the same room as them didn't make their minds hazy with yearning. Don't tell them they were being rude before, they were just trying to spare you the embarrassment of all the flirtatious remarks and touches they were actively fighting themselves from saying.

Mario franchise > multiple characters throughout the video games

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 51

I have played plenty of Mario games (far from all, but I'm a not-so-often-gaming gamer in general) and I've been a huge fan of some of them, so naturally, I would not forget about the eligible characters from the Mario universe. However, since it is a franchise so immense, I doubt if I have even come across all of these characters. Thus, I will put all characters I know in this list and add new ones if I find them.

Please notify me if you find a character is/characters are misses.

Also, I'm skipping food characters, so Goomba etcetera don't count.

And to save space, I'm not adding the video games' cover images.

Now let's begin.

REOCCURING ENEMIES:

Characters: Bullet Bill, Torpedo Ted, Banzai Bill, Chain Chomp

The Bullet Bill family (bullets) and Chain Chomp (wrecking ball) are definitely eligible for this list. Funny thing is that I actually had Bullet Bill as one of my most favourite Mario enemies before I actively realized it was, once again, an object. It may have been at that point that I concluded that it's not even a conscious preference. Haha.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:

Characters: Thwomp, Whomp, Wallop, Walleye

These are guys made out of stone, so they are not actual objects, but they are sentient regularly inanimate "things", so I'm adding them.

The mighty Whomp King (with the design he got in Super Mario Galaxy 2) was my favourite among these. I once started writing a story about him (may still finish that one day). Also, Walleye is cute.

--

Now we go to the next set of eligible Mario characters, which are those that occur less often or solely in one video game. For this post, I went with the European release dates.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996)

Character: Exor

Super Mario 64 (1997)

Character: Mad Piano

Super Paper Mario (2007)

Characters: Boomer (bomb), Thudley (weight), Fleep (window shade), Cudge (hammer), Picolo (music note), Sproing-Oing (slinky, I think, but it also looks like a hamburger - man's got seeds on his face), Mister I (eyeball) King Sammer (crown), Dorguy the First (door), Tileoids (tiles)

There's two more variation of Sproing-Oing [Boing-Oing, Zoing-Oing, Dark Sproing-Oing], one more variation of Mister I [Red I] and two more guardian doors [Dorguy the Second, Dorguy the Third].

Cappy can transform in different types of headwear. Volbonans come in different sizes [2] and colours [5].
