I don't believe anyone has ask before. If they have, please correct me, but what got you into the Mario fandom? What spark your interest in it?
Extra question, what Mario games have you played or beated?😮
It all started when I played the games for the first time as a kid. It was in the late 90's, and my dad had just brought home a Super Nintendo console. With it were three games: Super Mario Kart, Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars. Then, only a couple years later, I discovered Super Mario Sunshine and Double Dash on the Gamecube.
Words could not describe the sheer nostalgia I still feel for these five games in particular today. My goodness. The memories! They were literally my childhood. ;_; 🌄
Time went by and I became engrossed in other things. I still liked this world and its characters, but I mostly observed the newest releases and developments from afar... until the first teaser for the movie came out last october.
That was what officially rekindled my full interest. Until then, Mario was a mostly silent protagonist to me. A universal figure that gamers can project themselves onto. But the movie did something different. It brought the concept of Mario living an adventure as a established, talking, written character. With his own thoughts and feelings and dreams. I had never seen him portrayed quite like this before, and it unleashed a potential I would never have envisioned otherwise.
The very thought of a movie based on this character implied the idea of Mario having a full human emotional range, which was a complete novelty in my mind. It told me that he could falter and struggle. That he could suffer and grow. Experience all the things a simple man can.
And this, added to the undying love I felt towards this franchise since I was little, got my brain buzzing with inspiration. 💗✨️ It still does to this day. ✍️😌
#And to answer your question directly: I've only ever beaten World and Sunshine xD#I never managed to finish Mario 3#I remember some levels used to drive me NUTS 😂#I always asked for either one of my older brothers to help me 🥺🤭#Good times!#asks#Mario#games#movie#memories#thoughts and ramblings

you know that your nge fixation is back in full swing when you dream about watching ep 24 with Polish dub and loosing your mind over it (such dub doesn't exist and the only thing we had, which was a voice-over for the TV broadcast, is lost media for one episode only which is - you guessed it - GODDAMN EP 24)
#memo.txt#this lost media is driving me nuts because i need to know how they translated Kaworu's lines 😭😭#also in this dream my family has attended a funeral before this happened xd

8, 20, 27, and 61 for the fic writer asks! -em
8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story?
Assuming this means "to write", probably the middle bc the beginning and ending have 50/50 odds of giving me trouble, but the middle always flows. (For reading, probably beginnings bc I love seeing the ways people draw you in to the story they want to tell.)
20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?
My characters laugh/chuckle/smile a lot. And I have a tendency to, whenever possible with my POV character, go for a $50 word instead of the $10 words just bc a lot of the time I like the way the fancier/rarer one sounds. (loquacious vs chatty for example. Obstinate vs stubborn. That sort of thing. Probably why I like writing characters like Arcann or Adam or Morrigan; bc that fits their speech patterns really well.) I know there's other things-- OH. I do male-female friendships all the damn time.
27. What is your most and least favorite part of writing?
Most: COMBAT SCENES. I love writing combat, so. much. It's so fun. Also the rush of finally getting to drop things on your readers that you've been planning for a WHILE(I apologize to all the tLBT readers for the end of the last chapter, I really do😅, but it was FUN). Snarky banter is also really, really fun.
Least: Feeling too slow in getting to stuff I'm really excited about. No matter how much I'm enjoying the lead-up, if there's a scene I'm looking forward too, I don't feel like I can write fast enough in getting to it. xD It's even worse when I finally get to the scene/dialogue/whatever and then either a) have to leave to do something or b) my hand hurts too much and I have to stop. (I've pushed through the latter one a couple times. Don't do that, kids, you pay for it later.) I never feel like there's enough time.
61. Why do you continue writing fics?
Bc it brings me joy and the sheer volume of muses/ideas would drive me insane if I didn't let it out xD
Fic Writer Asks
#fic writer asks#if it was available and ethical i would 100% clone myself--one for writing each fandom i love so i could get. all the ideas. OUT.#bc i want to write about 8 things at the same time and hate having to choose#also like now i have a wotr idea. owap. tlbt. the swtor exchange fic. TWO SEPARATE ardrali fics. AND a new twc idea#not to mention the remaining prompt fills#i want to write all of them#but i can only do so much at a time and it drives me nuts xD

@lilyhargrave the funny this is, I'm pretty sure everyone else had two layers of shirts. One black under, and the department color over. But obviously to get Kirk out of his shirt as easily and quick as possible, they gave him one. 🤣
Star Trek: The Original Series ↳ Every time Captain Kirk appears shirtless or rips his shirt
#Where No Man Has Gone Before and Then Some#star trek#jim kirk#it high key drives me nuts!#he's the only one with the black color and nothing underneath LMAO#even though I'm pretty sure he started out with having two#they def did it to get him shirtless xD#which... respect I guess they were right

i ssaw ur Gigi headcanon post and I loved it sm OGMGMH I love Gigi she's my fav
Also can I req for a glisten x reader where they REALLY like to go absolutely nowhere or smth
"Reader where are you it's 3 am" "oh yeah I'm at like New York" "YOU WERE IN BED WITH ME 1 MINUTE AGO??" "Sorry I slept walked"
Reader doesn't know what self control is because one second you turn away they're already like 1000 meters away
Also I'd like to see idol reader x glisten later on if I even request tbh it sounds cute
I love gigi so much too!! Im definitely on that grind to get her, she’s just too adorable and cheeky!! And for your glisten x reader, I’d love to! I’ll definitely get to Idol Reader x Glisten after this cuz I love Glisten too!! xD
Glisten x Wandering Reader (Head-cannons)
It’s a high hill trying to read the infamous expectations of Glisten the mirror. Why with his ego and approval for perfection, he’s as high above the clouds!
However surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) for every toon, you were given the elevator all the way up to the mirror- having special access to his golden heart!
Glisten would have it no other way, absolutely feeling perfect around you. Just being around your presence has the mirror shining- both glass and frame.
But with all his desire to stay by your side, you make it so hard for him with all your wandering!
“Hahaha! Did you hear that splendid joke of mine, [Your Name]?” Glisten asked as he whipped his head beside him- only to find thin air.
“[Your Name]?!” Glisten shouts, leaving even Rodger himself confused by your disappearance.
Glisten would never admit it, but he’s a little clingy- so seeing his favorite Toon in the whole wide world suddenly disappear drives him nuts!
He’d spend minutes- hours- maybe all day looking for you before scolding you and crying how you had him worried sick! He’d have to hold back tears not to ruin his makeup- but he’d hold you very tightly after that.
“[Your Name]?!” Glisten yelps as she watches you pet Pebbles. You let Pebbles free before turning to Glisten with a smile.
“Yeah Glisten?”
“OH MY GOSH WHY DID YOU SUDDENLY RUN AWAY FROM ME?! I WAS SO SCARED!!” Glisten yelled as he grabbed you and shook you up and down- left to right.
“S-Sorry Glisten! Augh- It’s just- Pebble was doing neat tricks so I wanted to check up on him!” You explained.
“Don’t do that again!!”
Jokes on Glisten though, you’d eventually do that again- and at night too! Your sleep walking makes him more scared than ever before from your disappearance again.
Reader, have some poor mercy on the mirror! You’re ruining his beauty sleep!
“[Your Name]?! Where did you go?!” Glisten cries through the phone.
“I-Im sorry- I guess I sleepwalked again, I’m out on the streets now!” You explained.
“OUT ON THE STREETS?! [Your Name] COME BACK TO BED!!”
Eventually Glisten does get used to your wandering, becoming a Reader finding master- but he will always fuss over your safety and be worried as he does try finding you.
After all, you mean the world to him. He’ll never want to leave you!

I didn’t know whether to send this ask on the lorch blog or the main, but re: why people view Dios as a villain from your last stream, I think there’s 2 main reasons:
- his entire portrayal at the end of adolescence where he’s taunting Anthy and begging her to come back to Ohtori as she & utena are riding away
- when he’s shown on the carousel after Utena gets stabbed. It’s the same carousel that’s shown before Akio goes to unlock the gate, and I’ve seen a few people claim that his speech to Utena is almost mocking her for her efforts
I’m not trying to be a lorch here, just wanted to give my 2 cents on this topic
It's best for Utena asks to go here I'd rather not clutter up my main blog XD
That's Akio at the end of the film. Dios is only seen once in the film when Anthy has a vision of him in Utena's place during Juri's duel.
(Edit: And like a couple glimpses of him by Juri and Miki which don't even ask me wtf it means the movie is nuts.)
The second argument is the one that really drives me crazy. If you've paid attention at all to Utena's symbolic language: when you see a character who is a dark silhouette you're not seeing the truth.
The "Dios" mocking Utena on the carousel whose sentences Akio finishes is not the real spirit of Dios. Akio has been trying to convince Utena that he and Dios are still the same person in order to get Utena to do what he wants.
But far, far away from the carousel with the mocking false version of Dios another Dios appears, one whose face we can see, one who seems to be the same one that came to Utena in her coffin. The one that exists because of Anthy. I don't think it's a coincidence that Utena meets him once again in a space between life and death.
This Dios says to her: "Don't look so sad. You've tried so hard until now. Don't blame yourself. You've treasured the Rose Crest ring until now. A kiss, to show my appreciation".
He then leans down to kiss her ring. The ring that is, remember, a promise that Utena will retain her childhood nobility and free Anthy from her eternal suffering.
Unlike the false puppet Dios this one is laying there crumpled on the ground with her. They're both far away from the carousel in a quiet, intimate moment. Akio is unaware this is happening. I see the true spirit of Dios kissing the ring the same as Anthy blessing the sword.
And he blesses her ring as the chorus in the background swells with the words: "I have vanished yet I still live. I exist. I am here. I exist. I am here."
And then in one of the most badass moments in anime Utena slams her fist into the ground and lifts herself back up. Refusing to give up on saving Anthy from this. She's only been stabbed once, Anthy is being stabbed a million times.
Now what seems to have happened is some people have gotten it in their head that Utena slamming her fist with the ring on it into the ground is her rejecting Dios. You know, cause they desperately want this to be "feminist" in the way that Utena don't NEED no man to help her! Despite the fact its more sexist to act like you can't be inspired to act by someone of the opposite sex.
Utena embodies Dios' spirit. She has since the beginning. Dios has been her ally throughout the entire show. That's why Anthy's heart has been moving to her instead of her memories of what Akio used to be. How is anyone possibly reading it as a rejection other than a willful misinterpretation based on what they WANT the show to be rather than what the actual text is communicating.
I even had someone try to tell me the ring is smashed to pieces here which uh... no?
The ring is a symbol of the promise to Anthy. The promise to become like the prince Anthy once loved and believed in for HER sake.
We see this true spirit of Dios two more times in the final episode. First he's lounging around listening to Akio brag about how Utena is going to lose. To me it seems like he's just waiting for Akio's defeat now that he has passed his purpose on to Utena. A purpose he's known he can no longer fulfill, because Akio exists and he no longer does outside of Anthy's wish and will that he could.
Akio doesn't notice Dios at all in this scene. He's just monologuing to himself about how Utena, the one who embodies the spirit of the Prince he once was, whose power he is hungry to regain, is a fool for being so persistent. And that's why Akio will never change the world. Because this twisted world and system only exists due to the hold he has on Anthy and his efforts to fully control every piece of her.
And then my final piece of evidence that Dios is Utena's ally: he vanishes behind the drink Akio is sucking up that represents Utena's remaining lifeforce. Dios quietly disappears forever behind that glass. And it's that exact moment that Utena opens the way to Anthy.
It's also worth noting that the fake puppet Dios peaces out when this happens too.
So anyone saying "Utena rejected Dios in the end" I have to assume is hearing this through 2nd or 3rd hand information from someone who has never experienced the actual show as anything beyond a "sword lesbians" mood board on Tumblr.

Episode 2 of Agatha All Along and the show remains a fantastic rewatch.
This exchange is hilarious in retrospect. Agatha tells Billy right up-front that the Witches' Road is fake. But he refuses to accept that answer and accuses her of trying to deflect him from his goal.
Originally, this scene came off like Billy showing his determination and persuading Agatha that he has what it takes to make this journey.
But in retrospect... Yeah, he just sounds like a naive teenager who thinks five seconds of Googling makes him an expert, mouthing off to the one person who actually knows how bullshit this is better than anyone because she wrote the fucking con.
He is not the hero of the piece. He is a child making mistakes.
Even after she's forced to play along and pretend like the Road is real, she still tries to warn Billy off of it. Because. Yeah. The legend has only one purpose: to kill witches and feed Agatha. Speaking of which.
This is it. This is what persuades Agatha that attempting the Road con is worth doing.
The camera lingers on the locket and Nicky's hair. Which is almost a red herring, as it leads us to believe that it's the locket that convinced her. It's not, though; the locket and Nicky are deeply connected to the Road, so this is still meaningful.
But it's those words: "You really think you can outrun them with no magic at all?" That's it. That's why Agatha chooses to "go on the Road". Billy made a solid point, and she could use a shot of magic before she flees the Salem Seven.
So. Sure. You win, Billy.
Let's go eat some witches.
In retrospect, this is the funniest line in the MCU. He has no idea. He has no idea how in over his head is, what he's participating, or about the numerous murders he's about to commit. XD
Holy fucking shit, no wonder Agatha began projecting Nicky onto Billy. This double-act to trick Jen into dying for the Witches' Road con is straight out of Agatha and Nicky's playbook.
This was their life together. If Nicky were alive today, this is what he and Agatha would be doing.
Alice has sharp instincts. She calls out the Witches' Road as a con and she is dead-on.
Billy corrects Agatha's use of that particular phrase but Agatha knows what she said. She is intends to smash these nuts, not crack them. This was a red flag that went straight over Billy's head.
"Hi, this is really awkward but everything's about to fall apart around me so I just. Need you to stand nearby and look like you're participating while I murder three people. Cool? Cool."
"I promise that as soon as this is done, I will leave you standing there shocked and horrified, surrounded by corpses, and bail faster than you can say 'Witness Testimony'! You should. Probably also leave at that point. Because. Y'know. Cops. Haha!"
An interesting detail that Agatha makes Billy leave the basement. She's trying really hard to pull the wool over his eyes. She wants to carry out this murder without him realizing what happened.
If everything went as planned, she was probably planning on scooting upstairs like "Sorry you missed it, everything happened so fast, but uh we did the Road thing and I got my mojo back so HOP IN THE CAR LET'S DRIVE".
She doesn't want him to see the true nature of the Witches' Road. This is a departure from how she acted with Nicky, who was fully aware of and complicit in the murders they carried out together... But also came to be bothered by them.
XD Don't worry about it, Sharon. It does not matter if you sing it correctly. The song does absolutely nothing.
Agatha suddenly gets fucking fierce as they near the end of the song. Just pure scowling malevolence. She gets aggressive, like she's preparing for a fight.
Which, of course, makes sense in retrospect. She is, in fact, preparing for a fight. Getting her game face on. Readying herself to get nasty and provoke the coven into letting her kill them as soon as the song is over.
This is her predator face. The prey is in sight and the hunt is on.
But this hunt doesn't go the way they typically do. Because she had to do it in a hurry. Lilia correctly points out how weird it is for Agatha to suddenly be slinging out accusations and insults like this when. Like.
The Road was her idea to begin with.
Lilia's like, "What are you doing, Agatha? This is your thing. This temper tantrum feels a little forced and performative."
I love how spooked Agatha looks when they open the doors. You can feel her going "What the fuck what the fuck what the ACTUAL FUCK"
She is so freaked out, she breaks character. Why are you so surprised, Agatha? I thought you'd done this before.
Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?
I think this is it. Right here is where she pieces together Billy's identity. She takes a quiet moment, still looking entirely WTF WTF WTF, to feel how real this space she's stepped into is. This space that shouldn't exist.
A few seconds spent just... contemplating the stairwell.
Then, when she finally begins to truly descend, it's with a smile on her face.
She's got it. She knows what this is. She's the only witch alive right now who can truly comprehend what this is.
Then, once she steps out onto "The Witches' Road" and takes in all of its splendor, she casts a knowing look back at Billy.
Billy thinks this exchange is about, "Yeah, I knew we could do it. Great work, team. We made it!"
But really, Agatha's expressing, "Holy shit, Wanda Jr., this is a hell of a thing you've assembled. Okay. Okay. I can work with this."

Omg I love your takes on the gods it’s all so cool and intriguing I love how Artemis is just an animal because humans lost the need to hunt how Apollo is a true reflection of artists and creation Hermes and Dionysus are just cool in general I love love love how Hermes is pan in disguise drives me NUTS!!! I looooove Athena’s struggles and I just LOVE how they reflect reality
Thanks! I tried my best to summarise them as modern concepts more so that characters, and somehow that made them more convincing and human as characters. XD
It’s also a nice mix of deep diving into the origins and etymology of each god, with help from the fantastic work of Overly Sarcastic Production and a lot of mythology books. Finding all the nice little surprising facts about them are great to work into the character in some way.

Hi, it's me again, I left a note in my reply, but now I have another question or request<3 Can you tell us a little bit more about Kendrtwollo? Like how did those two meet? What kind of dynamic and relationship do they have? How does it evolve until it becomes romantic? And what is their dynamic or relationship like when it's romantic? How does his family (Especially One) react to their relationship? (Please tell me he becomes jealous and overprotective XD) While we're at it, how does the rest of the family react to One and Usagi's relationship? (I already read the post about how Two reacts, and I love it<3) And anything else you can tell us about Mikey's future daughter? Having said all that, if there are things you can't tell because of spoilers or because it's not fully planned yet and you'll change it in the future, I'll understand, thank you very much for your time<3
Lol, yes! Response is under the cut bc it's a bit long lmao
This is a minor spoiler for s2 chatper 3, but Kendra and Two actually meet off-screen, when Two enrolls in April's school as Donnie. He joins the purple dragons before moving into April's class. By chapter 3, Donnie is no longer associated with the purple dragons and knows Kendra's just as deceiving as One.
I imagine Kendra and Two's relationship is kind of like enemies to lovers, but they never quite reach the lovers stage. They're kind of like in an endless game of cat and mouse, where Kendra gives Two the attention or validation he needs, then uses his tech (either with or without his permission, depending on what her angle is). She plays him. Two knows this, and, depending on how Two is feeling depends on whether or not he lets Kendra get away with it.
I don't think they'd ever be lovey-dovey or have an official relationship, but Kendra genuinely thinks that Two is a genius which is probably why Two goes back to her. I wouldn't say they develop 'feelings' for each other, but I’d more of an unhealthy attachment.
I don't think Raph and Mikey would know the full extent of Two and Kendra's relationship, but they're not big fans of her. She's thrown Two under the bus and has gone under his nose to steal from him, which they don't appreciate. One KNOWS. He knows Kendra is a bad influence-- this is how Two got into vaping-- he knows Kendra is using Two for his tech and he doesn't like it. I don't think there's anything for One to be jealous of-- since this would most likely happen in the time One goes to Japan with Usagi (post movie arc), therefore isn't around often enough to be jealous-- but One does get super overprotective.
My version of Kendra does kickboxing, so she can beat Two in hand-to-hand. Against One, though, she'd die without her tech.
For One and Usagi's relationship, everyone is pretty much chill with Usagi except for Two and Raph (at first). Raph knows that Usagi is unpredictable and dangerous, so he's definitely on the fence when One hangs out with him post s2. When Raph sees how One can handle Usagi going nuts (more info about that here) and how he calms him down, Raph knows that there's nothing to worry about. Usagi frustrates Raph sometimes, but not any more than his brothers do. They get along. This drives Two insane. Mikey, generally, is just happy that One can be happy and himself around Usagi. You can read about Draxum's thoughts here.
Yes! So far, I'm thinking that Mikey's adopted kid will be EMD's version of Renet. Mikey finds her as he travels the world to help people in need. The details are still fuzzy, but the idea rn is that Renet lost both her parents. Her mother was the apprentice of a time lord, who's either exiled or imprisoned. The mother stole the time scepter that is now in Renet's possession. Renet has no idea what it is or why people are after it, until Mikey finds her and helps.

Whats bothering about this grand festival me is the fact it has every reason to be the final fest
But, again, its been promoted as anything but that.
This season's catalogue has "thank you for playing" title. They are soon to release the switch 2, which is more the reason for them to start working on the next game now more than ever (and I am 99% sure we are getting a 4th game for many, many reason, but main one being that Splatoon has become Nintendo's new cash cow). Like the previous two games, it would have finished its 2 year run and they said they only had 2 years of content planned. The splatfest we are having next is the same one (according to a comment, I haven't checked this one yet) that they had in splatoon 1 before the final one.
It makes sense.
But something feels off.
And I'm wracking my brain over not having that final piece of the puzzle. Somethings missing and I can't seem to tell what that something is! Its frustrating, but we'll just have to see.
Because there are also reasons pointing to them doing it for at least another year. Things I found odd when I first noticed. Those being:
Off the Hook was added so much later, they missed better part of the special events like Splatoween and Frosty fest. It would be interesting if they brought it back one more round to see these two beloved characters have their chance to shine. They obviously know Off the Hook's popularity.
They introduced 2 new spaltfest mechanics way too late into the games life span, to the point we've got to enjoy it very little. It is odd also that they didn't add in sooner.
They only said they had two years PLANNED. Some people had speculated that they might do more.
Splatoon 1 only had two years because the Wii U was dying and they needed to quickly move to the next console. Splatoon 2 exists so that they could bring new stuff along side whay splatoon 1 already had. 2 years for splatoon 2 cuz, well, splatoon 2! Splatoon 3 brought in so many new things to the table. It be cathartic to have the final fest happen in the 3rd year of its life, a fitting end.
This fest is being pointed as "Grand Festival" and has only been said to celebrate the game's 2 year anniversary. Never once was it said to be its final.
Now, these aren't reasons enough to say they'll do more splatfests or catalogues. But it's something to keep in mind, at the very least.
The first point is a little iffy because, as much as I'd love to see reruns of it like many others; commercially, they'd want something new. We might be getting new outfits for EVERYONE if they do reruns, of just OtH.
Another theory is that this is technically the "final" fest, or at least the fest which choices affect the next game. But not the final fest of the game, the final fest might compliment this one. (Less likely, but a possibility to keep in mind)
I can't think of much else besides this, tbh. It's really driving me nuts here XD I like to be prepared for everything, so I've calculated this being the final fest since I first got the game 2 years ago. This is throwing me off incredibly hard 😫.
We'll just have to wait and see what they have planned. Splatoon 3 was already a huge change to the game, I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to do something completely new and different after this Splatfest.
