Cellbit's TTS of his own voice is hilarious. I'm now imagining that the "voices in his head" have canonically always sounded like that. Just a chorus of his own voice saying wild stuff (or screaming) but with a completely deadpan tone. "guapito." "esse urso porra." "kkkkkkk." "nem fudendo." And the image of him occasionally deciding to argue with dozens of himself is very on-brand with his character.

the voices in his head either tell him to kill violently, drive him insane by insisting he plays garfield kart, or play chupi chupi on loop. makes perfect sense for his character

TWISTED WONDERLAND CHARACTERS AS GAMERS!!! (a.k.a what games would they play)

Riddle Rosehearts: Since his mom would never let him play, the most he can have is mobile games with quizzes and tests. Not even Candy Crush TT

Ace Trappola: I could see him play Resident Evil Village. He says he's cool with horror games, until he gets jumpscared and screams louder than a mandrake root, just to be scolded by Riddle and be laughed at by Grim and Deuce.

Deuce Spade: The Need for Speed Franchise. He would buy every version just to drive whenever he has time after classes.

Trey Clover: Cooking Mama on a 3DS. He would play with his siblings and would get a gold medal on each dish.

Cater Diamond: Anything that is currently trending, so he can stream it for likes, shares and subscribes. He would laugh every time he dies in Elden Ring but would end the laughter with a depressive sentence.

Leona Kingscholar: Chess Online. Next question.

Ruggie Bucchi: Anything that is Free-to-Play. Would never play Genshin Impact in fact, just because that's too much dedication for someone who works for Leona as well.

Jack Howl: Wolf Among Us. He got interested because of the title but got addicted to the story and the characters.

Azul Ashengrotto: Animal Crossing New Horizon. He finds Tom Nook as his ultimate role-model. He also keeps thinking how Timmy and Tommy are like a purer versions of Jade and Floyd.

Jade Leech: Strange Horticulture. He can finally take care of plants not just physically.

Floyd Leech: Fighting games for sure. Street Fighter, Tekken even Skullgirls on his phone.

Kalim Al-Asim: The Pokemon Franchise. He finds every one of them adorable, so he buys every game. He always has a hard time when he have to fight tho. He also cries every time one of them falls unconscious.

Jamil Viper: The Just Dance Franchise. He always complains when the motion controllers don't read his movements correctly and he looses points.

Vil Schoenheit: He would totally enjoy Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen. He loves collecting rare clothing and actually enjoys the story as well.

Rook Hunt: A lot of FPS type of games. He would annoy the other players on Team Fortress 2 or Rainbow Six Siege for sure because of his good skills. They often think he's cheating.

Epel Felmier: GTA 5. He's just like a child with strict parents, when he hears Vil's footsteps he turns the game of and switches to Farming Simulator with an innocent smile.

Idia Shroud: ANY game. He would finish anything that he ever started, even if he hates the game for some reason. He would play until he sees the notification about the Platinum Trophy being unlocked. During multilayers his very competitive tho.

Ortho Shroud: Multiplayer games that are cute, like: Mario Party, Super Smash Bros or Mario Kart. They play with Idia when the other is free from other games.

Malleus Draconia: Pou on a smartphone. Once he figures out how to unlock the smartphone tho... (RIP Pou)

Lilia Vanrouge: Doom Eternal. Or just in general all the Doom games. He tends to blast the OST at the dorm as well.

Silver: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, since it's very relaxing but keeps him entertained enough to not fall asleep.

Sebek Zigvolt: Plants VS. Zombies. He really doesn't have any skills so he needs something simple. After that he might try Minecraft I guess...

Grim: Fruit Ninja on Yuu/MC's tablet. Yuu/MC also makes videos about it and posts them with the tag #gamerweasel

I’ve made a whole post about why I don’t think Mario has any true canon months ago, yet at the same time also pointed out some things where Mario can be surprisingly consistent.

Truth to be told, while I do point to inconsistencies in the games, which are plentiful, the main culprit are Nintendo themselves.

I tend to look at what they say and how they operate to, as best as possible, gauge their intentions with a lot of stuff and a good example of their willingness to play fast and loose and actively alter information is with the Koopalings:

Contrary to what is often quoted, Miyamoto never said they never were Bowser’s kids, but rather that in ‘’their current story’’ Jr is his only child.

Another example of them changing their stance as they see fit to me is how they treated the subject of Mario and Luigi being plumbers.

We have very direct statements of how during the 2010s, people were not allowed to bring up that subject matter in videos:

And even a documented instance of a Japanese bio referring to Mario as having been a plumber a long time ago.

Which, as seen on the screenshot, has obviously been changed since and we got even more recent examples of the movie and one of Wonder’s loading screen trivia bits presenting his occupation proudly. Even at the time 3D World wasn’t shy about it:

Which is one of several times where official statements and in-game content don’t exactly align, heck, it’s weird on a general level given pipes are such a crucial bit of iconography for the franchise, derived by the fact that Mario and Luigi are indeed plumbers.

Stuff like that is why the Toad and Captain Toad thing is a sore spot for me. I never actually denied official sources claiming they are different character, but even despite that kind of explicit statement:

They chose to okay Galaxy supplementary materials that call Toad the Toad Brigade Captain and put him on the cover of Galaxy 2, in the same spot Captain is at in the Starship Mario art no less.

They chose to not have red spots, blue vest Toad in 3D World besides a pre-release Captain Toad life icon, instead having a Blue Toad be playable, which is not how the Toad character is ever represented, to the point where when 3D World art and renders are used to represent him, they are ALWAYS edited to give him the red spots. It’s hard to call it a SMB2 callback, because unlike say, Luigi’s Mansion King Boo or Biker Wario, it’s never even acknowledged or brought back like other game specific designs.

They chose to have a pre-release bonus for Treasure Tracker, an amiibo bundle for it and the function for said amiibo, to be all based around Toad and one of the mission descriptions even just calls him Toad, despite Captain Toad supposedly being a name.

They chose to give Captain in TT Toadette as a partner and include SMB2 elements like turnips and Shy Guys (only red and blue ones like in that game no less) which have no relevance to this supposed separate character, yet are highly tied to Toad.

They chose to have Mario in the Toad costume be called Captain in special Mario Challenge dialogue, in the first Mario Maker.

They chose to show Captain when talking about Toad in an Odyssey developer’s Q&A video.

They chose to have the Toad spirit become Captain Toad in Smash Ultimate, lining up with stuff like Shadow becoming Super Shadow or Alm, Celica and Isaac becoming their adult selves.

They chose to give Captain in Mario Kart Tour most of Toad’s animations, a trait *only* seen with variants and even classify him as a variant internally. Party Time Toad, who is definitively him, has more distinct animations than Captain does.

They chose to give Toad a treasure hunting themed expansion set and even call him a treasure hunter in LEGO Mario, an ongoing merch-line with an extremely big name.

They chose to continue the 3D World thing with Wonder, keeping Toad off the roster when Captain is around, while Mario vs DK has him playable no problem.

They chose to let the movie, Mario’s biggest non-gaming outing to date, very explicitly treat Toad and Captain as the same character and even give out pamphlets explaining references in the movie in Japan. Said pamphlet calls Treasure Tracker Toad’s game, making no mention of Captain as a separate character.

They chose to make a big promo video promoting Mario games tied to certain characters and have Toad tied to Treasure Tracker. This video was also put on the Nintendo Switch news tab, mentioning Captain by name in the description, yet showing Toad and it has its own spot on the Nintendo website too. Additionally they list Treasure Tracker in Toad’s list of appearances on Play Nintendo.

In isolation I wouldn’t think much of any of these, but when it happens so often I do start to wonder what the idea is. They are shooting every opportunity to establish Captain as his own character, especially for normies who likely just saw him and assumed he was Toad anyways, in the foot. 

I tend to refer to the movie a lot when trying to cite Nintendo’s seeming attitude towards some things too and yeah, I do still think it’s a big deal the New York backstory is back. It clashes with the Yoshi’s Island backstory, which is also supported by Mario & Luigi Partners in Time, but THAT backstory in turn clashes with the pre-SMB games and bios as late as 1994, that referred to Mario as italian, Foreman Spike as american and Pauline as being from New York, still establishing the old backstory as relevant enough to be brought up in character guides.

They are questionably compatible, but that’s because they are from very different eras of Mario. The Yoshi’s Island one will likely persist as the more commonly referred to one, because it mixes better with Mario’s SMB onwards world, but the old backstory is still accepted enough by Nintendo to allow it in a monster hit movie.

And that’s the thing, the movie takes liberties, but still holds true to a vision Nintendo themselves want to have out there, for Mario and his world. They know many people will be exposed to Mario for the first time in a while or possibly ever, through the movie and okayed for it as a way to interpret the franchise, that is a big deal.

Is the movie ‘’canon’’ to the games? We don’t know, Mario doesn’t have an officially recognized canon ala’ Hyrule Hystoria. It may not be canon in the sense of having happened in the game universe 1:1, but it is canon as a Nintendo approved, modern, big interpretation of Mario.

And the thing is, regardless if it’s canon or not, it’s influence can already be felt.

The Peach Showtime cover art has been updated in a way that makes Peach resemble her movie design a bit more, Wonder’s animation upgrade was directly motivated by living up to the movie’s standards of how people expect the characters to move and animate and then you got this:

A video on Nintendo’s official Youtube accounts, a Switch news tab article and even it’s own page on their website. A remarkably pushed marketing pull for games conveniently only highlighting characters in the movie and the game selection is clearly inspired by that too. Smash for DK to replicate his fight with Mario, Toad explicitly being called Captain, Mario Kart for Peach because that section was a prominent marketing scene for her, etc.

Nintendo’s biggest concern is how they want the brand to be presented, more than any canon. I’ll call out inconsistencies when I see them, but in general, this is what I pay attention to the most and why I am very accepting of the fact Mario is always bound to face changes, bigger and smaller, that may at times even be departures from what came before.

I think Charles did whatever he could in this race. He went from 8th to 4th and made that 1 stop strategy work (which by the way was his idea). I just wish he would be more assertive with the team.

They told him not to defend against Carlos, which obviously Carlos would overtake him either way considering the circumstances, but Charles could give home some hard time and it would be more entertaining to watch.

I'm still bitter about Australia though because he should go full multi 21 and not listen to the team when they told him to hold position and not fight Carlos. tt would be even funnier if they would taken eachother out because that would mean Lando's first win and Oscar on podium in his home race 😅

Yeah I agree with this, Charles did the best he could out of the situation and P8 to P4 is a good result. I don’t think Ferrari necessarily made a catastrophic strategy call but they made a bad call during free practice that he didn’t call them out on until afterwards and that could have impacted qualifying.

I think there’s been numerous times where Charles has tried to trust the team and it hasn’t worked for him, whereas Carlos will go what he thinks is best regardless. Might not make you more popular in the team but when it comes down to it as a driver the person you have to trust most is yourself. I don’t think either Ferrari driver has the synergy with the team that Max has with RB/GP for example.

I don’t think Charles is a Multi21 kind of driver. Regardless of what his reputation has been since karting/junior series, I don’t see that in him. That’s why I think under no circumstances should he ever go to Red Bull.

Monza last year was an anomaly.

idk if you want to write it as a soft thought or one shot but introducing his girlfriend to his family in Australia? his girlfriend is an idol too (like vocalist/dancer of itzy) so obviously it was a big thing to introduce her to his family? introduces his sisters first to make her feel better? <33

hi i'm sorry this took so long TT idek if i should post this because it's kind of bad & probably not what you wanted but i hope you still enjoy! :)

CHAN FLUFF!! 408 words. use of "baby"

THE SISTER APPROVAL.

There's a little bit of you that is hoping Chris changes his mind, that instead of heading to his family house you'll stop at a nice restaurant or take a walk in the park. There's a little part inside of you that is too scared of facing his parents, too scared of what they might think or say. However, you are the one pulling Chan's muscular arm down the pavement, a suitcase noisily moving behind you as you beam up at him. "Come on, baby, it's gonna be okay!" You say cheerfully, hoping that your own anxieties aren't on show for your boyfriend to see. "I know, I know I'm just worried," He started but there was nothing that followed his words, just a shaky sigh escaping his lips as his knuckles made contact with the door.

"Chris Oppa!" There was an immediate change in the air, Chan's muscles tensing under your grip as he moved his arm around your waist and your gaze fell onto his sister. "Hi Hannah," His smile was genuine, eyes in the shapes of crescents and his teeth showing in an attempt to make himself seem confident. "Y/n, this is my little sister Hannah. Hannah, this is my girlfriend Y/n." His voice was slightly higher than usual, the tension finallu breaking through and manifesting itself. "Hi! It's so nice to finally meet you!" You exclaimed happily, slipping away from Chris' grip in order to embrace the younger girl as she reciprocated your excitement.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, where are your parents?" You asked after chatting with Hannah for a few minutes - hell it's probably been longer than you can tell - while your sweet boyfriend offered to grab you guys some drinks. "Chris wanted to -uh- introduce you to me first, I guess? He asked when they'd be out of the house so," She answered your question honestly, quickly followed by a grunt as you overtook her in Mario Kart. "Oh?" You chuckle as he comes back into the living room, "Does that mean I have the sister approval, then?" You direct the question at Hannah, a goofy smile -similar to the one you adore on Chan so much- appears on her lips as she nods, "I think you do." Chan couldn't be more happy to hear his sister's words, patting her hair teasingly, but now he'd have to wait and see if you got his parent's approval too.

Cellbit vs. Chat over Garfield Kart. Absolutely hilarious they’re using so many different tts voices! Someone save him

[just-jordie-things]

It’s 3 am and I just got hit with (Pouty) Gamer Gojo™

We know he’s a gamer, he mentioned that himself.

Now what if he tries to impress you by doing all the things he does perfectly but there’s one thing he cant do: beat you in mario kart.

Not because he’s a gentleman (cause that’s a lost cause), but simply because you’re just better. And it’s turns him into such a sour and pouty loser but it’s kinda cute.

I’m a nerd and I love gamer boys TT
