So the Askapalooza is officially over, now what?

So the Askapalooza has ended, and I did say that the end result of what would happen to this blog would depend on what I thought about things by the end. So here's what I personally feel is going to happen.

I personally enjoyed being able to answer questions that people had about the characters in this specific version of the world, silly or not! It was fun to think about what they would get up to even if it was mundane or not super serious at all.

I do, however, feel that the idea for the blog was a bit too vague for most people to engage with, and that is my fault for not giving much to mull over. So what I'm going to be doing with this blog going forward is this:

- The blog is going to continue existing, and you'll still be very much able to ask questions! The experience was good enough that I'm more than happy to keep it going, even if responses won't be as quick as they were during the Askapalooza.

- Aside from answering asks, I'm also thinking of posting all things relating to this AU to this blog as well. (Character design sheets, character facts, silly headcanons, and events I feel would be "canon" to this AU) Hopefully it can add more intrigue and context and spark some questions for those interested!

- For the "Canon events" (basically story events): They won't at ALL be posted in any chronological order. Maybe in the future I'll make a master post showing the events as chronologically as possible, but for now I'm just showing things that happened as things that happened. Unless stated, don't assume it's all happening in the moment, in fact most canon events at first will probably be past events.

- I WILL help with putting what point in time these events happen for context on the post itself. A system I was thinking of using was something like this: [O.W., M1, Magicant, Visit 1] This would read as: "The events in this post happened in the Old World (O.W.), during the time of Mother 1 (M1), specifically the first magicant visit." Events set in the New World will start with N.W. and work the same way: World, "game", Place, Specifics (if any).

- Lore will DEFINITELY be more fleshed out than it was during the Askapalooza. I joined basically last minute, so I didn't have anything exciting to share. Sometimes I may just do text posts about some minor canon things that wouldn't warrant a whole drawn post.

- I'll probably work on this blog in short bursts as I get ideas. I'll basically be trying my best to queue up posts that I have as I make them, leave for a bit, and come back and do it again.

Aside from that, I'll also be slowly working on making the blog look more finished, instead of just using whatever images I had in store. Again, this was set up pretty last minute, so the presentation ain't the best.

Aside from still using the askapalooza tags, non-question posts will use the fandom tags as well to help more people find the blog. Question posts will just keep the AU tag and Askapalooza tags cause I don't want to flood the normal fanbase tags with them if they happen to get too many.

In any case, this is what's happening from now on.

TL;DR: Blog is staying up, you can still send asks. Anything relating to the Au will be posted here. There'll be more fleshed out lore and such as a result. Blog will be updated in short bursts as I see fit.

ninten! hows college goin'?

Ninten: Uh... D's get degrees? Something like that... -nervous laughter-

((OOC: He studies, but is bad at retaining information for tests. He's also not the best at writing essays.))

[theworldreturning]

Fuel, Claus, is there a reason you're hiding your relationship from Lucas?

Fuel: I mean, I wouldn't mind telling them now, but Claus apparently is part chicken chimera and wants to wait. Claus: That's... Not true... At All! Fuel: I'm jokin', Sunset. Take all the time in the world.

[theworldreturning]

What kind of job do you have, Ninten? Is it something you enjoy doing or more of a means to an end with earning money?

Ninten: I'm still not over it, and it ain't exactly the best job ever. But it still has to do with my interest, and well... -he thinks for a moment- Without this job I don't think Ness would have been as interested in baseball as he is nowadays. So yeah, not bad at all, actually.

[theworldreturning]

Are these friendship bracelets Claus and Fuel are wearing in the intro picture? Does Lucas have one too?

Lucas: What do you mean "secret"??? It's not bad is it? Claus: Don't... be nosy! ((OOC Answer: They're a personal thing for them to show they're in a QPR [Queer Platonic Relationship].))

[theworldreturning]

to anyone willing to answer: how's life after.... everything that happened? are you all doing well?

Lucas: I just know it's going to take a bit of time, and getting used to things. But the world does strangely feel different, like there's more out there...

(( OOC: Sorry that this took so long! I felt like this should be a more "in-depth" answer. However, my schedule with work is tight, so even just simple sketches was a lot for me to fit in! I do hope it's a satisfactory answer qwq))

[theworldreturning]

Do Ninten, Ness and Lucas know each other?

Ness: But... I don't think I know a Lucas. Do you?

Ninten: Nope. Oh wait, there's this one guy in one of my college courses, but I doubt that's who we're talking about.

OOC explanation: No, they don't know each other yet. But they will eventually!

-@tanejineri

Porky: So you see, I started dressing like this because I always knew I was meant for the finer things in life...

Ness: He's gonna be here a while...

Let's Not Bore Ourselves With That...

Fuel: Oh! But thanks for the compliment! Really do appreciate it!

[theworldreturning]

Hi Porky, what inspired your old man fashion sense?

Ness: I dunno, Pokes, you do kinda look like my gramps! -still laughing-

Pokey: YOU WOULDN'T KNOW GOOD FASHION ANYWAY PIG'S BUTT!! ALSO I'M NOT "PORKY", IT'S POKEY!! YOU MAKIN FUN OF ME OR SOMETHIN?!

Ness: Calm down Pokey, I don't think they meant anything by it!

[theworldreturning]

Claus: Boney... Doesn't like them... though. Also.. My... Favorite animal would be.... sheep... I think.

Lucas: Oh! Yeah, there used to not be cats on the island, but since the new world being a thing, we've been seeing them everywhere! They like to flock around Claus too. -laughs-

Intro Post

Hello! I'm participating in @pkmoth's askapalooza event! So here's just some general stuff to know bout how this blog's gonna go!

Info under the cut!

About The AU:

Nothing too special about this AU, really, I think it's a concept everyone's come up with at some point. It's a post story AU after Mother 3's ending where the world is reformed after Lucas asks the dragon to give the planet and humanity another chance.

As a side effect, a good amount of people have come back and/or changed to be allowed that second chance (mainly those who had some form of regret in the old world). Some folks are very different to allow for this to happen, and as such have changed memories and lives, but most remain unchanged from how they were when the world ended and reformed.

The new world takes place in an alternate post Mother 2 universe, but now the Nowhere Islands exist alongside everything else (Though now on maps and such, they're known as the Dragon's Rest Isles). Due to this timeline change, while the folks from Mother 1 are here, they're older now.

So who can you ask?:

You can ask most anyone important from the games! Though if you want more specific people/groups you have:

Claus, Lucas, and Fuel. Who are currently still living in the Dragon's Rest Isles.

They all retain memories of the previous world, but mostly try to put it behind them. For now they're trying their best to retain some sense of normalcy and get used to how things are going to work in their new life (much like everyone else in New Tazmily).

As a point of note: Due to what physically happened to him in the previous world, Claus may not be fully able to answer some questions (may be beyond his scope of vocabulary, or too difficult to understand). In those cases, Fuel or Lucas will probably answer for him. ( Yes, Claus is still a chimera. Yes this affects his behavior.)

The Chosen 4 from Mother 2 (plus Pokey and Picky). Back at home after their journey.

Though the chosen 4 went their separate ways after their journey, they're still good friends and come to visit often. Also due to the world being given a second chance, Pokey is back to being Ness' neighbor, but this time has accepted friendship (mostly, he's still a bit of a prickly kid.)

As a huge note: While the chosen 4 remember the previous world, Pokey and his family DO NOT. Their memories are rewritten to have allowed for Pokey to get a second chance! (Their behaviors are still similar to the previous world though.)

Ninten (And the main party of Mother 1). Now grown up and living their lives in relative peace.

This cast is grown up now (they're in their 20s, minus teddy who is in his late 30s early 40s). While we'll mostly only see Ninten around, the others can answer asks! Also due to proximity (since he moved), Ninten and his cousin Ness can also answer some things together from time to time!

General Asking Rules:

For the most part, at least for now, the casts from the game are mostly separate. The only exceptions are the M1 and M2 casts, who either visit often or are in close enough proximity that they're semi-aware of each other. They'll all meet eventually (at least that's my hope), but for now they remain separate.

No NSFW asks, of course. Most of the casts are still minors. I'll also apply no shipping asks into this. It's not a main thing I wish to focus on, any ships that happen are just there and not the biggest focus.

Don't spam the same asks, it'll just lead me to not answering them. (This doesn't apply if you happen to ask the same question as someone else! If enough people ask the same thing, it may eventually make it to an OOC FAQ post!)

I will TRY to answer with at least a black and white sketch, but I am a working man, so my time is sometimes quite limited. I apologize in advanced.

Due to the above, I may also take a bit to answer some questions! Please do be patient, I will try my best to answer them all!

I will also answer RP-type asks, but they may remain short or more spread out in between normal asks as I'm not the best at roleplaying.

You can be mean to characters, but don't push it too far!! If you sent an ask that I found overly aggressive and you never see it answer, assume it was a bit too far.

Lastly, What About The Future of This Blog?:

If I have fun manning this blog through the month, and people still seem decently interested, I may continue it past the askapalooza! But that all depends on the future, so don't hold me to it! Just know that whatever the decision, I will have appreciated everyone taking the time to just look or even interact with these guys!
