It's all you're fault.. SMG4...

"Stop running away from the truth my dear friend.. when all your actions say the same thing." "That. You're. The. One. To. BLAME"

-Smg4 in my AU always blocks out the truth that he isn't entirely a good person. He's a coward who wears a mask of a hero to justify his actions.

Try a Chapter Test

idk what to read next so i'm gonna read the first bits from my TBR. How do i read a first chapter of the graphic novels? idk but we're gonna find out!

Cleat Cute: professional women's soccer rivals to lovers romcom

Writing style not promising. Not bad, just feels a little forced, often reminds me of the process of reading. Not too much character yet, but there is inciting action. It does seem like it's a one has the other's poster on her wall situation so i've got all my fingers crossed for a gender-bend roy/jamie au style thing. (though unfortunately neither is like the 'veteran' player, i think) Predicted: ⭐️⭐️ Finished: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. Dark Tides: the sequel to a fight for a pirate throne

This author always does start out strong. Writing style compelling, just mysterious enough to keep you reading. I'm wondering if this strange new character is the boy from Lorelei's village that joined the navy, and if this is gonna involve some kinda love triangle. which would be so tedious. Predicted: ⭐️⭐️ Finished: ⭐️⭐️ (<- generous)

3. A Taste of Gold and Iron: Indian-inspired fantasy (bodyguard?) romance

First chapter is a solid 30 pages and I am not reading all that; also no map or any kind of context before jumping in, which I don't trust but do appreciate. Mostly just a limited narrative of where we enter the story, but it was interesting and a lotta world-building and set dressing was done very quickly. looking forward to this one. Predicted: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finished: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4. Land of Sons: post-apocalyptic father and two sons trying to survive

This was darker than i, for some reason, expected. the art style is a little hard for my eyes to parse, and the relationship between the three characters is.. bad. i had hoped for a little love-in-dark-times vibe. interested to see where it goes though Predicted: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finished: ⭐️

5. Seek You: an exploration of loneliness in sequential art

i just read the author's note, but turns out this one does have chapters. i love the art style, and the tone of the writing is immediately evocative. rly looking forward to this one, but still afraid it'll stomp all over me Predicted: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finished: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

6. Rusty Brown: an attempt to encapsulate the entire scope of human experience into a single graphic novel

i am a little entertained by the dual narrative – a main narrative runs through the majority of the page while a secondary narrative is in tiny frames at the bottom – and I expect it'll get more complex as i go. so far, though, the actual content sorta sucks. general 'average family 80s family' struggles (unhappy marriages, bullied fat kid, moving in with grandparents) and while there's nothing wrong with the stories, i do think it's gonna be a bit of a depressing read for a while if not the whole (chonkin') thing Predicted: ⭐️⭐️ Finished: ⭐️

Mr. Puzzles' backstory! (Complete)

Alright!! It's here!! To the people who were waiting for Mr. Puzzles' complete backstory thank you so so much for your patience! and sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long as well.

!Disclaimer! this isn't canon! in the full show SMG4 this is for the 5⭐️ Rivals AU, there will be some canon materials but mostly will be filled with my and others hcs.

!Warning! There will be mentions of abuse of different kind, and mentions of smoking. I also want to mention that I didn't give Puzzles an abusive childhood for shock value. It is something that was at least to me felt necessary for my AU.

For some context here are the names of the characters:

Mother: Rosetta Johnson Father: Alexander Adware (He's a doctor) Child Puzzles: Adam Johnson Adware

Adam's childhood wasn't great, he lived in a living hell.. both in his home and at school. No matter where he went he was suffering than living.

He would be bullied or ignored at school and, would be made fun of because of how different he was compared to other kids, he had a wild imagination and those thoughts were considered weird from the people around him. Not just at school but at home as well.

At home... It was terrifying to him. If any of you have seen the short film Opal then it's something similar.

Whenever he came home from school going from the entrance to his room was a scary adventure every day.

He would have to go pass his mother Rose who was in the living room smoking or making a call to her side of the family.

He had to slip pass her as quietly as he could but, when he wasn't careful Rose will start using him as a therapist, venting out all of her struggles to him for hours. But, she would also hit him when she was enraged and would go far as to put cigarettes on Adam's arm just to relieve her stress even for a little while.

His father would just ignore it all. And if he had to he would intervene when his wife went too far with the abuse, which would lead to them arguing most of the time.

When that happens Adam would run up stairs to the one place that was safe to him. His room. Where he would watch TV all day just to forget about everything bad that happend to him. (Headcanon from @bstroobery)

But sometimes he wasn't so lucky.. often times his father would come home late so when he was being abused by his mother his father wouldn't be there to intervene. So all night he would be beaten, used as a therapist, as a punching bag for his mother. Just to relieve all of her struggles onto her son. To feel relieved even just for a little while.

This whole routine continued until his 10th birthday which is on the 30th of Octorber, where he was taken to the place he loved: Disney World.

He loved going there, but since he could only go there on his birthday he tried to enjoy every single moment there was. While his parents enjoyed their vacation. Adam wished this day could last forever, where he would have fun going on the rides and enjoy everybody else having fun! It was also the day he thought of owning an amusement park when he grew up.

His parents both disapproved it. For two different reasons:

Rosetta: She needed someone to vent to and didn't want her one and only stress reliever to leave her alone.

Alexander: He wanted his son to chase a more realistic dream. Calling it childish and not creative. And to prevent him from potentially humiliating the entire Adware Johnson family (Partially inspired of @scimagic's hc of Puzzles' father)

Eventually, Adam was homeschooled because of how bad the bullying was getting. This leads to him isolating himself from his family in his room locking himself up with his only comfort friend his TV, continuously trying to come up with a way to escape from this horrible world that was supposed to be his HOME.

He was slowly killing himself, having not eating for a long while and not leaving his room. His room was filled with his father's tools on how to fully escape this dull and horrible place.

You see.. Adam had a plan, a very risky one at that. He had an idea on how to escape his HOME, and to create a new world where he had friends and everything he could have ever wanted. And he would get his friends by gathering children all around the world whose lives were miserable just like his to his new TV dimension! a place full of colors and full of everything anyone could ever want.

And the plan was to become the very thing that had helped him in his life. His TV. So he would operate on himself little by little and painfully to fully become his precious TV. (hc from @bstroobery) And he was scared when he decided to cut off his head, he could hear his child self begging him to reconsider. But, he already made up his mind and did the deed.

At first he actually died, his lifeless body on the floor lying there. Until something sparked inside him! Then he woke up, he was finally free!! He changed his name to Mr. Puzzles to cut ties with his family, and also because it reminded it him of not so pleasant memories of his life.

He also had one more wish: To show his father (the one person he still had a little love for) that he did have creative vision!

But after the fight with the SMG4 crew in the PuzzlesVision movie, he lost his powers to return back to his homeworld to show his father his success, So now he's after the SMG4 crew for what they've done to him and while doing so he met his new rival: Entroric.

ANND THAT'S ALL!!! I'll show his new and final reredesign of my AU of Mr. Puzzles! although this post contained some heavy topics such as abuse, I hope this was informative for you all. And again, thank you so much for your patience. And if you have any questions about Puzzles' backstory, or anything I missed feel free to ask and tell me about them!

Mr. Puzzles' reREdesign✨🌈🧩📺️

Okay, now Mr. Puzzles' final design for my 5⭐️Rivals AU is complete! This one took a while with the details but It suits my version of Mr. Puzzles pretty well ;)

Alright, where do I even start... Well, first off he's completely different now! Still kept the 1980s pants but changed his color to match the Kidcore aesthetic🌈🍰 I chose this aesthetic because I wanted to show how Puzzles hates his homeworld. He wants to be farther away from it, he didn't want to do anything with it at all! and to look more approachable for kids and seem more friendly.

And you might not notice it but his pupils actually show his emotions just like Ink Sans. I thought it would be neat✨ and his pupils are actually crayon scribbles! thought it looked adorable💞

He also has a more ringleader outfit on, I think it would be better since he wanted to make an amusement park originally I wanted to show how he always prioritized that dream of his.

He loves his TV just as much as he enjoys making his movies but it's more of a coping mechanism and a hobby than anything tbh.

I enjoyed creating his design and since I love the color of the rainbow I thought it would be fun to add that onto his design! Also when I did my research on the Kidcore aesthetic, apparently it originated from the 1970s to 2000s so I thought it would be a perfect fit for the design.

Anyway, hope you all enjoyed this post about his final design!! I changed a lot but hope you guys found this one entertaining because it sure was to me!✨

"The perfect gift"

A gl2 comic ft: my sona Yuuto, giving Puzzles a birthday gift🤗🎁

First time making a gl2 comic and I love how it turned out! This is as the title suggest, a birthday gift for Mr. Puzzles.

I have so many things in store for him in the future, and hopefully will be able to expand my smg4 universe for you all!

And yes, I redesigned Mr. Puzzles and this is for my 5⭐️rivals AU. I'll explain the details on either Saturday or Sunday.

[yullalightk]

Made a drawing of my 5⭐️Rivals AU Puzzles in class and I posted it on the Mr. Puzzles' Fanclub so I'm gonna post it here now.

Also bonus comic✨

Their reactions:

Puzzles in my AU pays close attention even at the tiniest details, since it's a trait of his. But he also apologises a lot and take what he said pretty quickly.

[yullalightk]

Mr. Puzzles' 5⭐️Rivals AU design/lore✨

Okay, I was originally going to just post an explanation about his design and make a different post all about his lore in my AU. But, I changed my mind since I don't have a lot to say about his design so I thought it would be a good idea to combine them both into one post instead! hope you'll enjoy this simple yet long explanation of my version of Mr. Puzzles!!

Design👔

For his design, I based the pants off of the 1980s ones and his coat being from the 1960~70s. Since in my hc I think he was born around the mid 1950s or 70s 'cause Disney world was built in 1971 so It would make sense for him to be born around that time period!

I also went with a ringleader-ish design because in his original design, he looked like a circus performer than a movie director which is clever btw! 'cause it shows how he prioritizes his first dream of building an amusement park! Anyhow, I didn't really change much just adding some minor details. Like his hands with multicolored wires wrapping his hands. It would show that he isn't a human anymore and it wouldn't cause so much confusion if he's a robot or not😂

And uhhhh..... yes, I added high healed shoes 'cause, C'MON!! HE WOULD TOTALLY WEAR THOSE!! AHSKDHLJKKBSH

Mr. Puzzles' backstory

So, not sure if you all remember this but, I already made a lore/backstory for Mr. Puzzles. But ever since the new episodes leading up to WOTFI 2024, I changed a lot of Puzzles' backstory! And this isn't complete by any means! I'll change stuff or remove stuff that I think isn't necessary for his character. Until then this is his backstory for now. And I'll make a better Mr. Puzzles' backstory post. I swear I'm cramping in so many things at once it isn't funny anymore😅

The things I changed were that both of his parents are horrible people. But, both of their reason for being harsh/abusive on Adam(Puzzles' human name) is pretty different.

Puzzles' backstory in my AU is that, when he was child his dreams were uncommon, childish, "Not Normal". He was told at a young age by his father that his dreams were unrealistic and that he should be a doctor or something more successful. When Puzzles' didn't listen, he would get beaten by his father emotionally and physically.

His mother on the other hand couldn't care less about who or what he wanted to be but, focused on what she wanted him her to be.

A girl. She never wanted a son she wanted a daughter who would be raised to be just like her, the thing is both of her parents push what they want their son to be, Rather than listening or try accepting their son for who he wants to be and what he likes, they and the people around him treat him like nothing but a freak, someone who doesn't belong to the place that was supposed to be his "home"

He wanted to prove his father wrong that no matter how childish his dreams is he can be successful, and once he was successful enough, he would create a new world where nobody is alone. He will create a world where anybody can be anything! without having anyone to tell them what to be. He took many drastic measures to make his dream a reality though, like cutting off his head and torturing his victims just for the viewers entertainment. And once he was famous he will have enough power to make his own world.

Long story short: He lived a horrible life in a horrible world, and he wanted to create a better world where nobody will suffer again, and at the same time prove to his father that he can be successful in life no matter how childish his dream may be. And gain friends along the way.

I'll come up with a better backstory... this one is just full of my hcs, too many hcs.

[yullalightk]

I'll still continue making content of my 5⭐️Rivals AU, but the idea came to me and uhh.. I may or may not have made an AU abt them. There's something wrong with me. Help.

[yullalightk]

I'm planning on not continuing the smg4 episode reviews and, I wanted to ask what you all think about this.

And, I'm sorry for not posting the WOTFI pt2 review. Again. I'm thinking of focusing on my SMG4 5⭐️rivals AU cause there is so much I have in store for it. I also felt less modivated to make the review and plus, I think everybody else can do a better job than me!

I just think episode review content isn't my style and while I did have fun making/writing some of them, I don't feel like continuing it. I sincerely apologize for not letting you all know about this sooner.

Again. I sincerely apologize for not letting you all know about this, and repeating the same mistake despite apologizing about it a few weeks ago. I do think I'm overreacting/overthinking about this entire situation, but, I thought I should let you know.

However, I am planning on posting a theory/analysis post about Mr. Puzzles' backstory tomorrow cause that is something I feel a lot of SMG4 fans have been thinking about lately. Also since tomorrow is the anniversary of Mr. Puzzles debute in the show. So, it would be a good timing I think. And, I'm also going to change the date of posting on tumblr. Instead of Saturday, I'm going to post every weekend. I can create more time to make some posts about my AU and incase I'm not able to post Saturday, I can post it on Sunday.

[yullalightk]

Some changes will be made.

Like the title says there will be some changes that I should mention.

I'm open for requests and questions!!

You can ask my ocs and my 5⭐️ rivals au ft: Mr. Puzzles and my smg4 villain insert oc, Entroric some questions and request some stuff you want me to draw/make.

I recently got a lot of time on my hands and I hope to answer some requests if you have any!

These are my ocs and I'll make an introduction sheet soon!

2. I'll start to post every Saturday, like two posts a day. And I'll post on Insta every Sunday.

I really hope to post every Saturday so I don't have to repeat the same mistake by not posting as much. And I'll let you guys know if I'll take a break or not. So you guys will know what's happening.

And, I'll answer/make the requests or questions on Saturday, sorry to repeat myself but just wanted to make sure I'm explaining everything.

This is waaay shorter than my original posts but, thought I should let you all know!

[yullalightk]

Okay, I just opened tumblr and wow.. I'm blown away!

Over 60 people, like, even if it's not a big deal to others it is to me!

I wanted to say thank you. To many people who followed me and stuck around despite my upsetting schedule and, my content changing a lot. Which can be bothersome to some of you guys.

Like I said, I won't be making any smg4 episode reviews anymore (I'll make something similar but that won't be my main focus.) and I'll be making something I enjoy, and not forcing myself to create something that I don't.

I'll post stuff tomorrow abt my 5⭐️Rivals AU and many others that are collecting dust, but since I have my winter homework I won't be focusing on tumblr for a while after that.

And I understand if you guys are frustrated by this, since I'm breaking my promise of not repeating this again.

...so, despite not keeping my promises and many mistakes, thank you guys so much for liking my content or just sticking around👍️

Also, I'm not taking you guys for granted, I really do appreciate you all.

Love you guys✌️😊

[yullalightk]

Hey guys, I wanted to let you all know that I was sick recently and that was why I didn't post any 5⭐️Rivals content. (Or any content for that matter) And next week is test day so I won't post until December 14th, I'll still post smg4 episodes reviews so don't worry! but, they'll be short compaired to last week's one.

I'm sorry for not posting again but hope you guys understand👍️

Since I don't want to leave you all hangin' here's a comic I made ft two of my ocs for 5⭐️Rivals AU! I'll post a ref sheet for them someday😅

They're names are Decoda and Chef Raven. They will be important in my AU so keep that in mind!
