Just pointing this out since I haven't seen anybody else mention it:
Notice how Hobie's already collecting parts for his own watches before they even get to the lab?
Look at him in the gif above and you can clearly see him pickpocket something from a tray from a bypassing spider-person!
I love this detail so much!
Tumblr media
And notice when they get to the lab and Jess is no longer with them he no longer hides the fact that he's taking stuff from the lab (he even makes sure Miles sees it, probably to signal to him that he doesn't respect the spider-society and neither should Miles).
This also shows that Hobie trusts Miles more than the other spider-people already! Since he doesn't have a problem with Miles seeing him take all this stuff from the lab, but he hides it when he's around the other spider-people as seen in the first gif!

Hihi I wanted to say thank you ! Bit random but your fic has helped me realize that it’s okay to just have fun with writing a fic and it doesn’t have to follow any rules or such.
I used to only write main ideas for fics I wanted to write but was always too nervous about messing up or it sounding dull that I never managed to follow through, but while reading LoF and such, it’s helped me see that it’s a lot more relaxed than I thought it to be. I can happily say I’m writing my own contribution to the Spidey in Gotham niche and yeah I just wanted to thank you <3
And a a little question of how you decided on all the suits for your AUs ? Like Peter’s jacket in LoF or that INCREDIBLE venom AU suit (it looks so cool)
Ahhh that's so cool!! I really really love that!! Writing is supposed to be fun and crazy and adventurous! You write for yourself first, forget about what could be "cringe" or "lame" to someone else, and go for it! :) I hope your writing journey takes you far and you see many places to write about!
And I've always been fascinated by character design. It started with my first ever anime, Fairy Tail. The designs can be cheesy or fanservicey but I loved that they never really made sense in a set of time or era specific, and that they were always interesting, if a little cooky.
Designing suits is a pain in the ass, but fun. It's a lot of looking at artwork that I really enjoy that other artists made and seeing what I think the character I'm designing for would like the most- or looking at fashion from all different walks of life. It's also a lot of keeping in mind a characters story, the themes of their life, etc. Details, details, details.
I decided on the jacket that Peter wears in LoF because, well, he needed a jacket. It's getting colder and his regular jackets weren't going to cut it for the whole "secret identity" thing. So far in Peter's life, he'd been wearing what is "practical" to have and not what he wanted to have. In LoF, he's starting to branch out in his identity as Spider-Man. He looks up to Jason in a way (thinks he's cool) so I figured he'd want to wear something like Jason. He got the new jacket and he ended up wearing a domino mask too- something to symbolize that his time in Gotham is starting to change him. It's no coincidence that he gets these items and the same chapter, he ends up finally at the Batcave.
But with him designing the jacket, making it his own, and even putting an Iron Man patch on one sleeve? It means he's still himself, Spider-Man, and he's still got his home on the mind. It just also happens that Peter cares about Gotham now, too.
As for the venom suit, I took influence in the Venom designs I saw from the comics or fanart (I didn't make a board, so I can't pull up the exact refs right now), and also looking at other Spider designs from the Spiderverse movies. I kept it mostly the same suit I designed for LoF Peter, just with darker hands (as to say, blood stained), claws, a harsher/more vibrant red, etc, as a way to say that he has not moved past the kid he was when he was first bit, and Venom changed him for the worst. :)
I have more suit designs (such as LoF Peter's suit changing over time) but I can't share them yet,,,, They're technically spoilers,,,, RIP,,,,

Sonic Boom: Revisited | Page Eight and Cover Page - BTS
One thing I really enjoy seeing from other artists is their progress photos. How they got from sketch to finished product. It helps me build confidence in my own art to see them taking the same messy steps I do.
Below are the cover page and page eight from Sonic Boom: Revisited broken down from sketch to line art to finished color. I didn't save as many sketches from page eight so I apologize for that, but I hope you enjoy seeing my process nonetheless! If you guys like seeing these, I'll post more as the comic progresses!
COVER PAGE:
Tumblr media
Sketch 1: Basic sketch trying to figure out how I wanted the characters to "stand". Minimal detail.
Tumblr media
Sketch 2: Adding in some detail. Cringing at Sonic's head shape. This is always the step where I question if I can actually draw or not. XD
Tumblr media
Sketch 3: Was so mad at how terrible Sonic looked last sketch that I focused all my energy into refining him here. Poor Knuckles didn't get much attention and Amy's head suffered some serious slanting...
Tumblr media
Sketch 4: Final Sketch! Everyone gets refined in detail. Sonic's backhand gets changed because the previous pose looked weird. Temporary Logo for reference and dialogue box is added.
Tumblr media
Inking: Ahhh, looking at that. Beautiful ain't it? Fun fact: All the sketches were drawn in the span of about 3 to 4 hours while me and some friends of mine were watching a movie. I had only drawn about 4 to 5 pages of the interior pages at that point. Inking was completed a day before posting after all the interior pages were finished. Color was completed the next day. Can you see how my style developed of that time?
Tumblr media
Flats: After that comes color and background! This is what the cover looked like before shading! Would you have colored it differently?
PAGE EIGHT:
Tumblr media
Sketch: This is the very first sketch I did of page 8. During this stage I'm just trying to understand how I want to lay out the page. You have notice some panels are different! At least 3 sketch phases are lost to time between this step and inking as adjustments are made.
Tumblr media
Inking: Completed months in advance before coloring started, this page still ends up getting some minor changes during the coloring phase!
Tumblr media
Color: And there it is! The final product! Without texts so you can see the full art! As you can see, panel 3 was adjusted to better suit some dialogue changes that were made later on.
If you've made it this far... thanks! I hope you enjoyed seeing my process!
Hmm... seeing all these steps, it just occurred to me how accurate my username really is...

Here's your text with grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary mistakes corrected:
Living next to your best friend had many advantages, at least for Chad, who would knock on your door every day at lunch and dinner time, a grin plastered on his face while he begged you to cook something for him. You were sure that he had never used his kitchen in the three months he'd been living in his apartment.
An advantage for you, though, was Chad's DVD collection of your favorite movies. The ones you'd bought him for his fifteenth birthday and that he still kept next to his TV, just in case a movie night was due. His DVD collection was like a treasure trove of nostalgia, containing all the films that had shaped your friendship over the years. Some were gifts from you, carefully chosen to match his taste, while others were movies he had discovered and introduced to you. Each movie held a special memory or inside joke between the two of you.
You cherished those DVDs, not only because of the moments with Chad, but also because it was the only time when you would allow yourself to be so close to him. Chad was a cuddler; if he wasn't holding onto a pillow, he would hold your hand, your thigh, anything. And you'd have to hide your face so he wouldn't see just how much you enjoyed being so close to him.
Sometimes, while engrossed in one of the movies, Chad's hand would find its way to yours. His touch always ignited a spark within you, an electric connection that you couldn't ignore. You would steal glances at him, trying to gauge if he felt the same way. But as quickly as the touch came, it would retreat, leaving you longing for more.
It was bittersweet, these stolen moments of intimacy. You cherished them, treasured them, but at the same time, you feared what might happen if you let your true feelings show. The risk of losing Chad's friendship seemed too big, so you buried your emotions deep within, hiding them behind laughter and playful teasing. As time went on, you wondered if there would ever come a day when you could gather the courage to reveal your true feelings to Chad.
When you were ten, Chad gifted you a journal for your birthday so you could write down your own recipes, knowing just how much you loved baking with your grandmother. And the year later, he bought a signed CD of your favorite singer, which you were sure was now scratched and worn out from how many times you'd played it.
As you grew older, your feelings for Chad evolved beyond friendship. You began to see him in a different light, noticing the small details that made him himself and realizing the depth of your affection for him. However, the fear of ruining what you had held you back from expressing those feelings. What if he didn't feel the same way? What if it changed everything between you?
So, you continued to live in the shadow of the friend zone, relishing the stolen moments of closeness during movie nights while suppressing the longing in your heart. Each time Chad's hand brushed against yours, you wondered if it was a sign, a subtle indication that he might share your hidden desires. But doubt and uncertainty clouded your thoughts, and you convinced yourself it was merely wishful thinking on your part.
Chad's job took time away from your usual meals together; his shifts were long and tiring. So when he got back to his home, he went straight to bed, leaving you to cook alone. The absence of Chad's cheerful presence during mealtimes made you realize just how much you relied on those shared moments. Cooking for one felt empty, and you found yourself longing for the sound of his laughter and the taste of his genuine appreciation for your company.
As the days turned into weeks, you couldn't help but miss the movie nights as well. The DVDs sat untouched, collecting dust on his shelf, and you yearned for the familiar comfort of sitting side by side with Chad, engrossed in a captivating story while stealing glances at each other in the dimly lit room. The movies had always been an excuse to be close, and now that excuse was absent.
You couldn't deny that something had shifted within you. The longing in your heart grew stronger, and you missed him terribly. But still, the fear of rejection held you back, and you couldn't bear the thought of jeopardizing the bond you shared.
One evening, unable to distract yourself, you found yourself flipping through the pages of the journal Chad had given you all those years ago. Memories flooded back as you read the entries about your baking recipes and the messy handwriting of your younger self, and a surge of nostalgia washed over you. You stood, not bothering to change out of your pajamas as you rushed to your front door, ready to go visit him and swinging it open.
Outside stood Chad, his hand up as if he was about to knock, and a grin on his face, one you had missed more than anything. "I know it's late, but… dinner?" You couldn't help but smile, feeling a wave of relief rush through you. "I've missed your cooking too much," he admitted sheepishly, stepping inside your apartment. "I've been eating takeout for weeks, and it's just not the same."
You chuckled and closed the door behind him. "Someone's hungry." Chad's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Always hungry when it comes to your cooking. I know it's late, do you have any leftovers for me?" He mimicked the puppy eyes that used to work so well on his own mother when he was a kid.
You rolled your eyes playfully. "You never change, do you? Always trying to get a free meal out of me." He shrugged, still wearing that mischievous grin. "It's not my fault you're an amazing cook. I can't resist your food." His arms circled your waist while you looked inside the fridge, your cheeks heating up like they usually did around Chad.
You pretended to be unfazed by his proximity, even though his touch sent shivers down your spine. "Well, lucky for you, I made a double portion of my famous lasagna yesterday. I knew you'd show up eventually," you teased, trying to mask the butterflies in your stomach.
Chad leaned in closer, his warm breath tickling your ear. "You always know how to take care of me," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity. The closeness between you felt both thrilling and nerve-wracking, a delicate balance that you had become accustomed to over the years. He blinked, smirking. "You're letting the cold out of the fridge, Y/N."
You snapped back to reality, realizing you were still standing with the fridge door open. Blushing, you quickly grabbed the container of lasagna and closed the fridge. "Right, sorry about that," you mumbled, feeling a mix of embarrassment and excitement.
Chad chuckled, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "No worries, I'm used to you getting lost in your own world. Now, let's dig into that lasagna before it gets cold!"
As you served the steaming slices onto plates, Chad couldn't contain his anticipation. "Mmm, it smells amazing," he praised, eagerly taking his seat.
You couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment as you watched him, his enthusiasm bringing warmth to your heart. With each bite, he savored the flavors
and occasionally let out sounds of delight. It was a familiar sight, one that brought back memories of countless meals you had shared together.
Between mouthfuls, Chad paused and looked up at you. "You know, I've really missed this. Eating together, talking, just being here with you." Before you could answer, he spoke again. "You know what I miss?"
"What?" you smiled, and he reached for another forkful of his dish. "Your nana's cookies." He closed his eyes, humming as he pretended to imagine having one of his childhood snacks. You laughed softly at his comment. "Ah, those cookies were legendary, weren't they? I still remember the first time you tried them. You practically begged my nana to share the recipe with you."
Chad grinned, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "Can you blame me? They were like bites of heaven! Remember when I tried to replicate them? I'm not allowed near an oven back at home anymore."
You laughed, remembering the disastrous baking attempts Chad had made in the past. "Oh, God. I remember that. You made Mindy try the burnt cookies." Chad shook his head, feigning disappointment.
"I had such high hopes, you know. But I guess baking just isn't my forte. That's why I rely on your amazing cooking skills." You raised an eyebrow playfully before he shushed you and stood to clean off both of your plates. "You know," you started, "I'm pretty sure she gave me the recipe; it must be in the journal you got me."
Chad's eyes widened with excitement. "Really? You have your nana's cookie recipe in there?" he asked eagerly, his voice filled with anticipation.
You nodded, a smile playing on your lips. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's in here somewhere." You motioned for Chad to join you at the kitchen counter, where the journal sat, and you flicked through the pages before setting it open to a page filled with your grandmother's neat handwriting.
Chad leaned in, his eyes scanning the page. "Oh, look at this! 'Nana's secret chocolate chip cookies,'" he read aloud, his voice filled with delight. "This is the one!"
You both huddled closer, shoulder to shoulder, as you read through the cherished recipe together. Chad's excitement was contagious, and you couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm. "Well? Let's bake them." He offered, taking the book from your hands and listing the ingredients. Once he was done, he looked up, waiting. "Hurry!"
You grinned, captivated by Chad's eagerness. "Alright, let's do it. But I have one condition," you teased, raising an eyebrow. Chad tilted his head, a playful smirk forming on his lips. "Oh, really? What's the condition?"
You leaned in closer, your voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "You have to promise not to burn down the kitchen this time." He reached for your hand, mimicking a handshake. "I do the mixing, and you do the baking?"
"Deal. Just make sure to follow the recipe carefully this time, Mr. Kitchen Disaster." Chad feigned offense, placing a hand over his heart. "Hey now, I've improved! I'll have you know that my cooking skills have gone up a whole half-notch since the last time."
You rolled your eyes playfully. "Half a notch, huh? Well, I'll be sure to keep the fire extinguisher nearby, just in case."
As you gathered the ingredients and started preheating the oven, Chad stood by your side, eagerly watching your every move. It felt natural to be in the kitchen together, sharing this moment, and you couldn't help but savor it. And every time you moved around the kitchen to grab the ingredients that Chad had listed, you could feel him near, his chest against your shoulder, or simply his presence driving you insane.
"So, what's the first step, chef?" Chad asked, a spark of mischief in his eyes. You handed him a mixing bowl and a whisk. "First, we'll need to cream together the butter and sugars. And by 'we,' I mean you. I'll supervise to make sure you don't cause any culinary disasters."
Chad grinned, accepting the challenge. "Alright, chef supervisor, prepare to be amazed by my whisking skills!" He started vigorously whisking the butter and sugars together, his enthusiasm infectious.
You watched him with a mixture of amusement and fondness. "Steady there, whisking champion. Remember, we want a creamy consistency, not an arm workout."
Chad chuckled, his focus shifting to maintaining a steady pace. "Got it. Creamy consistency." As he continued whisking, you took a moment to appreciate the scene unfolding before you. The familiar rhythm of your friendship mixed with the anticipation of what could be.
After the butter and sugars were perfectly combined, you handed Chad the next set of ingredients. "Now, add the eggs and vanilla. Slow and steady wins the race."
Chad nodded, cracking the eggs carefully and adding them to the mixture. He poured in the vanilla extract you'd handed to him and whisked again, his determination evident. "Slow and steady." You thought it was cute, the way he kept repeating your instructions and how he bit his bottom lip as he focused on the task at hand.
The thought crossed your mind once again: what if this was the perfect moment to reveal your true feelings? You pushed the thought aside, reminding yourself of the risks involved. You didn't want to lose the friendship you cherished so much. But as the minutes ticked by, and Chad's whisking turned into a rhythm, you found it harder to resist the pull of your emotions.
"Alright, Chad, you're doing great," you encouraged, your voice betraying a hint of nervousness. "Now, let's add the dry ingredients gradually and mix."
Chad followed your instructions, adding the flour mixture little by little while you gently folded it into the batter. The kitchen was filled with a comfortable silence, broken only by the sound of your hands working together. Once you informed him the mix was done, he went to dip a finger in it, just for a taste, but you smacked his hand away.
He watched you intently as you poured a few chocolate chips into the mix, but they didn't seem to be enough for Chad. "Some more? Please?" When you looked back at him with a mocking look, he took the matter into his own hands and tilted your hands toward the bowl, dipping a whole handful of chips into the mix. He grinned at his own actions. "Don't look at me like that, you know chocolate makes everything better."
Chad followed you to the heated oven, opening it for you so you could slide the tray inside easily. As you waited, Chad leaned against the counter, and you sat next to him, your thighs and his hips almost touching. A hush fell over the kitchen, the only sound being the gentle hum of the oven.
Chad's gaze held yours, and you could see a whirlwind of emotions playing out on his face. Silence stretched between you, and doubt began to creep in, threatening to shatter the fragile moment.
But then, with a mix of determination and tenderness, Chad leaned in, closing the distance between you. His lips brushed against
yours, not fully sealing a kiss. His breath ghosted over your lips, the smell of chocolate evident due to the few chips he'd secretly sneaked into his mouth while you finished off with the mixture.
"Chad," you whispered, not really sure of what you were going to say, just testing to see if you were still able to speak because of the proximity. His eyes didn't move away from yours as he moved his hand from the countertop to your waist, then your neck. Your heart raced, and you found yourself leaning into his touch, craving more.
"Chad…" you repeated, and your voice wavered, overwhelmed by a wave of emotions that threatened to consume you.
You tilted your head slightly, inviting him in, and he obliged, closing the distance between your lips. The first touch was electric, a soft brush that left you craving more. His lips were warm and velvety, molding against yours with a gentle urgency, as if he had dreamed of this as much as you had.
Chad's hands traveled down your back, pulling you closer, deepening the kiss. Lost in the moment, you could feel his breath against your skin, mingling with your own. Soft breaths escaped both of you, blending with the sounds of your lips exploring each other. The taste of him, sweet, filled your senses, intoxicating you further.
With each kiss, the intensity grew, and you craved more. His tongue sought entrance, a silent plea for deeper connection, and you willingly granted it.
Your bodies pressed against the counter, the heat between you intensified. You could feel the tension building, the desire burning within you both. The intimate dialogue that ensued was whispered, breathless, and filled with a shared longing.
His hands roamed your body, tracing the curves, igniting every nerve. The kisses became deeper, more urgent. Time seemed to stand still as you surrendered to the passion that consumed you, the world beyond the kitchen counter fading away. You felt like if Chad moved away from you, you'd melt away, urging for the smallest touches, like you'd always done.
The beeping of the oven made you pull back slightly, only for Chad to dive back in for another kiss, his hands cradling your face as he slowed his forceful kiss into small pecks. Not pulling away, you slid down the counter, your hips meeting his as he kept his hands on your waist, holding you close to him.
"They're gonna get burnt," you mumbled, your voice almost being stolen away by his mouth. He hummed, finally pulling away to let you turn off the oven and take out the tray, carefully placing it on the stovetop.
You turned to face Chad, a shy smile tugging at the corners of your mouth. "They turned out perfect," you said, your voice laced with satisfaction.
Chad grinned. "Well, you're the master-chef here. I'm just the lucky taste tester," he replied, playfully bumping his shoulder against yours.
You laughed, the sound bubbling up from deep within. "Oh, so now you're admitting that you sneak cookies before they're fully baked?"
Chad shrugged, still wearing that mischievous grin. "What can I say? It's my job to ensure the quality control, you know."
Rolling your eyes, you reached for a freshly baked cookie from the tray, blowing on it to cool it down before taking a bite. Chad's grin widened, and he reached for a cookie himself. Taking a bite, he closed his eyes, relishing the taste. When he opened them again, his gaze locked with yours, a spark of desire evident.
He moved closer, and just when you thought he was going to kiss you again, he reached for your head and ruffled your hair before smirking. "How about I go get my DVDs? I don't have work tomorrow."

streber gets really "annoying" and a little mean about things because he wants to be constantly in the right. he has so many weird facts stored in his head too. hes always just, bookmarking information
someone says "well didnt they discover that in 1984" and streber goes "NO THEY DIDNT AND YOU WOULDVE KNOWN THEY DISCOVERED IT IN 1895 IF YOU PAID ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE. RIDDLE ME THIS, WHEN DID THEY FIND THE NEW SPECIES?" and he waits for an answer. nothing. "THATS RIGHT, IM ALWAYS LISTENING , IMTHE ONLY ONE HERE WHO LISTENSSSSS" and then he goes back to watching the movie, stone faced.
also this is like an animal documentary
AM I RIGHT OR WRONG I CANT TELL IF I WENT OVERBOARD
i Definitely think hes like this and i think hes passive aggressive about it. wagging his finger like "ahhh tututut, everyone knows it was discovered in 1895, in Fact in 1966 they were able to link the dna of this animal to one of the species that existed during the ice age, telling us that this species-" etc etc
he gets really pissy when it comes to nitpicky details however. once he went to a hardware store and found that two of the boxes of lightbulbs were labeled incorrectly and he cornered rick (who was working there) to rant about it for an hour straight. rick quit after that

10 Questions for Fic Writers
thanks for the tag @quoththemaiden !! tagging @ninjam117 & @millenniumringg too because why not <3 + feel free to snag it @ everyone else if you wanna!!
1. How many works do you have on AO3? Six! But one of them is a collection of artwork that I don’t particularly count as an ao3 work in my head anymore lmao. So five written works!!
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 12,979 words <3
3. What fandoms do you write for? ygo dm bay beee (is bakurae enjoyer a sub-fandom? do we count as our own little sub-fandom lmao)
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes!! I love a good comment discussion and love getting to give director’s commentary on my fics about things ppl commented about!! I try to get to every comment eventually <3
5. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of lmfao (aside from ao3 getting mirrored with “pay the app dev” stuff every so often)
6. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Me and my siblings when we were younger co-wrote ridiculous amounts of self-insert fanfiction together. What a lovely time that was
7. What's your all-time favourite ship? tendies owns my heart forever <33 I used to periodically come back to it every few years before coming back to ygo permanently and now it’s like ahhh we’re almost at ten years of consistent bakurae goodness <33
8. What are your writing strengths? I like to think I have strengths in comedy and dialogue because those are pretty fun and easy for me to churn out… but at the same time perhaps like. Minute details could be a strength of mine. I definitely used to think unusual and innovative prose/emotional descriptions were a strength of mine but I’ve kind of let that skill atrophy so I definitely need to work to regain that skill lmao <33
otherwise I do like my plot bunnies (when I’m able to cultivate them) I like to think developing plot bunnies is also a strength of mine!
9. What are your writing weaknesses? Consistency lmaoooo but nah if we’re gonna like talk real weaknesses it might be like… pacing and connecting scenes together! And also not rambling endlessly. Like. Rambling has its place but often I would find in my work I went on just a tad too long in areas and the pacing would suffer minutely for it. With yami b’s got a crush I really strove to be clear and concise, and I think it paid off so far <3
otherwise also like. choosing a point at which to start the action of a story is hard hard hard for me to do haha. that might also count as a weakness!!
10. First fandom you wrote for? oh gosh. It’s gotta be code lyoko because code lyoko was one of the first two if not first fandoms I ever read fanfic for. The other was I am legend (yes the will smith movie) and I never ended up writing for I am legend so. LMAO
first fandom I ever created stories for and didn’t post tho? idk I cannot remember that far back to what me and my sibs first did as kids lmaoo (we did write a lot of self insert for Narnia and Marvel, tho)

Hey, just so you know I love what you did with the straw x male reader and I know this may be sudden but you think you can do a part 2 of it? And if you want, I can put in some of the details if you want? (Warning: This is too long) like let's say this theme is more so focused on reader's past and I will say that his backstory similar to movie sonic where his mother is actually a giant owl who had eaten a human human fruit and Is very knowledgeable with all kinda of devil fruits (She even has collections of them) but of course, like some tragic things that happened to some characters. Both reader and his mother were being raided by people who secretly worked for the world government and because of it, the mother owl had no choice but to sacrifice herself in order to let reader escape (Similar to Nico robin and what happened in Ohara) and in the end, their home got burned down and all reader could do is run away and hide. Anyways back to present, after hearing from an unknown caller that his mother was alive. He didn't believe it at first until there are just way too many evidences that his mother might be still alive after what happened and not only that but finding out how she's secretly working for the world government, it was just absurd to him. Is this the reason why they want him alive? He's not sure anymore. In the end, he decided that it would be best to never tell the crew about it and would just have to go out of his way on his own to find the location where his mother was at. And by the time, straw hats find out that they were too late and reader is already ahead of them. (Also of course, you're free to Refuse this request at any time but if you're still gonna do it then you can do it anytime K? No rush, and It's your decision to do so.)
─ Strawhats x male!reader (Platonic)
─ Summary: you discover things about your supposedly dead mother and the crew is willing to help you
─ Warnings: none
Part one / Part three
ahhh don't worry about asking for the second part suddenly, I'm glad you like my work, hope you like this <3

─ You were probably adopted (maybe not, but you never wanted to ask), your mother was a giant owl that ate the human-human fruit, but you don't care where you come from, you always loved your mother.
─ A little curious fact is that she is a collector of devil fruits, which caused you some problems because people are greedy with treasures like that, but the thing is that you got your powers because of that very collection.
─ You were just a child when you were snooping through her things and that devil fruit looked tasty, you were disappointed with the taste and on top of that your mother scolded you for that, but there was nothing that could reverse the effects.
─ Normally you had to change houses continuously, the government and some people wanted the devil fruits that your mother collected, as if that were not enough, they also wanted you as an experiment subject since your fruit was quite powerful or sought after.
─ And one day what you were fearing simply happened, the government found you, worst of all, your mother sacrificed herself for you to flee, you couldn't do anything and you began to hate the government more than before, they had taken a being loved without regrets.
─ After that you wandered aimlessly, many newspapers had the exclusive that they had caught the 'evil' thief of devil fruits and were going to make her pay for her sins, your whole world collapsed when a week later, word spread that she had died and they had put up a wanted poster only alive with your face.
─ Your life began to fall apart but luckily, before your intrusive thoughts could do anything, you met Luffy… well, Usopp in the first place, but the important thing was that the strawhats took you in after your life was gone overboard.
─ You started noticing some small clues about your mother inadvertently since Luffy declared war on the world government when they rescued Robin, since then you were much more involved with them.
─ Within you there was that little ray of hope, maybe they didn't kill your mother, maybe she is captive due to her knowledge about the devil fruits, that's why you began to investigate further, following small clues.
─ You kept all this hidden from the others because you thought it was something you had to solve on your own, although Robin was already suspicious about you, you always went to her when you needed more detailed information about the government.
─ "Why so curious now about this?" "For nothing in particular, I like to find out about the people I hate so I can hit them harder." It's not like it was a lie itself, you wanted to hit those bastard governors.
─ You had a small diary where you had everything collected in the last months, luckily they respected your private things, although they thought that all your secrecy was because you were young and you were embarrassed to share some things with them.
─ "Why do you always hide that book of yours when you see us, huh? Don't tell me, it's a diary and you write about your lover there!" "I-It's nothing like that Luffy!" Luffy would always try to tease you and play jokes on you however Sanji or Zoro would always stop him if he got too close to stealing your diary.
─ What made you jump into the attack was a call in which you interfered one night, a call that turned all your suspicions into solid facts, "Yes, my son is the consumer of that fruit, we could locate him if the rumors about that is next to the strawhats are true" "m-mom…?" Luckily they couldn't hear the disbelief in your voice as you heard your mother's clear voice.
─ You were extremely confused as to why she would be part of the government, deeply hurt by the fact that they were looking for you, and not especially to give you hugs.
─ Everyone on the ship noticed your change after you discovered that, you started to talk less to investigate more, you became more paranoid and you started to put a barrier between them and you, you didn't need to cause them more problems than they already had.
─ But your plan to do everything on your own went awry, you tried to deal with some undercover guys who worked for the government on an island, you were seriously injured, if it wasn't because Usopp found your diary and decided to browse a bit ( because this guy couldn't contain himself and thought one look wouldn't hurt anyone) you'd probably be dead by now.
─ While Chopper treated you in a fit of stress, the others looked at your wounded body with a frown, most of them angry for not being able to arrive earlier, Luffy angry with you for not having told him anything.
─ When you recovered he scolded you because you didn't trust them to help you, "Idiot, we are here for you! You are my nakama and I would do anything for you." "I'm sorry…"
─ You apologized to everyone for being so reckless and going alone to a fight you couldn't win, they forgave you and just like Luffy, each one showed in their own way that you didn't need to have that fight by yourself, if you needed their support, there they going to be, even if they had to fight against your own mother, they would not abandon you.

AHHHGH DUDE, IVE FINALLY FOUND YOU ON HERE, YESSSS BRO, YOUR WRITING IS PHENOMENAL, (I'd say I'm the biggest lagwafis enthusiast on the internet, as soon as i read lagwafis, I bought the CD, the collectors edition pill pack white shirt, I have so so so many quotes on my Craig Tucker Shrine from the fic, and if you wanted to know, I've currently managed to read lagwafis 388 times, people believe I know it by heart, get it? "I know you by heart, Tweek" and the agonizing fact I quote lagwafis every day whenever I see a brink of reference infront of me, like let's say yesterday, I was in a store- and I saw a tub of chai latte and I was so close to screaming lagwafis reference inside of the store, I'm also cooking up some fan art (specifically from coming home) so I'll totally tag you when it's out) AHHH I'M GONNA WRITE SO MUCH ON HERE IT MIGHT GO TO THE LIMIT, okay so first, let's talk about the fanfic itself, there are SO many tiny details in this fic that have either made me laugh or cry in agony, which is a good thing, also, the characterization is TOP TIER, a lot of fanfictions tend to fall slightly short on the background characters outside of the pairing that tends to be the main focus. This was a great change, especially in Craig's group and Stan especially, everyone felt so real and totally had obvious quirks from the fandom itself that I LOVED SO MUCH, your writing evokes so much emotion that I somehow managed to feel exactly how everyone felt in a chapter relevant to them.
Let's talk about the character description choices, the way you described Tweek in almost every chapter made my heart ache in the best way possible, you made him sound like a fallen angel, the definition of ethereal, also the fact you decided on giving him that mouth scar with backstory to it is TOP TIER, I have a similar scar on my lip and whenever I see it in the mirror I think of Tweek from this fanfic, let's move on to Craig, the way you wrote his internal monologue and the way his emotions played out made me absolutely soul crushed, this entire fic left a deep pit in my heart, especially how Craig was described, Craig was written so realistically that it actually felt like he was real. He purposely blocked off his emotions to prevent himself from being seen as vulnerable, he struggled with keeping his “I don’t give a shit” personality until it all just exploded and the part that he was so vulnerable with was exposed to the entire school.
Also I see that the lagwafis anniversary is coming up soon!! I usually celebrate it every year when I get the chance to, by doing lagwafis related things and shit, this fanfic deserves way more than just kudos and comments and hits, this fic deserves the damn world and beyond, I even had literal dreams of this fic being one day announced to be an animated movie, and if it ever did I would cry and vomit in the best way ever possible, my life would be so complete if we became moots on here, also, I'm not sure if you have TikTok, but that's where I'm most known to being the lagwafis enthusiast on there, i make a lot of lagwafis related videos, my username is spacecadetcraigz, if you ever see this at some point, just know im so grateful you took your time to read through this.
I literally wish you the best life for now on
Yours truly,
Spacecadetcraig
388 times????? That’s true dedication my friend, you must read it like twice a week? Incredible, I’m so glad you enjoy something I wrote this much. I’m also so glad you love the album by Spiritualised too, it’s such a special album and there’s something so perfect about the title track that I’ve never been able to shake.
I didn’t even realise the anniversary was coming up, thanks for reminding me! It’s so weird to think I started writing that story six years ago. At that time I’d been catching up with South Park and when I first saw the Tweek X Craig episode it was my new favourite thing from the first minute in.
An animated movie would be amazing, Matt and Trey give us the rights pls, free of charge if possible (they’d so try for another billion dollar deal ahahahah)
I’m going to check you out on tiktok and if you do make fanart please tag me! I’d love to see!

Review Bomb! (The Treble With Rivals - Potazel Hazel)
Hi, it's me again! I'm back with another review bomb bc i missed episodes at their airing times and watched some a bit out of order lol
I'm a bit more prepped this time so these reviews come with pictures! (Oooh! Ahhh!)
Enjoy!
The Treble With Rivals:
Mmm, music episode! Goes crazy knowing I can play violin and all but that's besides the point. The point is: we got a new fairy! And new fairy lore? THERE'S A MUSIC WORLD???
Tumblr media
Seriously, this place fucks. I love it. I always love it when FOP A New Wish adds new fairies and stuff so music fairy is such fun!
LOOK AT HER DESIGN ITS COOL AF
Tumblr media
I liked the OST of this episode tbh, the composers put some good moves into an episode based purely on music.
I also really liked the intro card this time, small detail I know, but the contrast yellow v blue was so fun!
I feel like this episode is *partially* a commentary on school bands/orchestras and how they interact with one another, even if unintentional. I say this because I was in my school's string orchestra this semester and I noticed that there's a whole community of music and little inside jokes (eg. viola slander in the strings community) and stuff so this sorta felt like that. Every band/group has their own little status (especially with size) and this episode showcased a bit of that relationship between music groups that I've witnessed (not that I've ever seen a whole ass rivalry but you get the point I hope).
My one singular complaint is that I felt the "erased music" plot was underwhelming? Like I read the description and thought it'd be a lot bigger in scale (I guess more action? More suspense? Takes up the whole episode?) but it wasn't... which I mean this was alright and all but somehow I thought it'd be a lot more adventurous.
Rattleconda Racers:
Peak episode! It's one of those episodes that likes to play around with setting and such, this time we were essentially stuck in movie style aspect ratio until the end when we went back to 16:9 (mmmm television proportions my beloved)
I liked the dive into the relationship between Hazel and her brother Antony! We saw a bit of them meeting up in The Treble With Rivals but not much of their relationship. I feel like it's super cute! Hazel still seems to be unable to adjust to how different her brother is and how he's got all those new experiences and it makes her feel disconnected and wanting everything to be back to the way it used to be, as shown through the game, where Hazel tries to get Antony to follow the game's path while Antony would rather go around the path and explore beyond.
It's a metaphor for change and excepting change, and how everything around both siblings changed so much (Antony going to college, Hazel moving to a new town) and how they both adjust to their new life.
Tumblr media
I liked their little moment of making up with each other after Hazel gets increasingly mad that they aren't playing the game the way they used to, it's a sweet scene and I liked it.
Side note: ADORED Cosmo and Wanda's outfits this episode.
Tumblr media
HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THESE??!! THEY LOOK FIRE AS HELL!!!! Wanda especially with that dress it legit slays on her to be honest. Cosmo with the cowboy attire and "Cosmo the Kid" nickname is so funny
I also liked the side thing of Wanda really playing into her character but Hazel not letting her. YOU GO GIRL! BE DRAMATIC!! THE PLOT CALLS AND BECKONS FOR IT!!!!
Overall this was one of those fun episodes with a good message and character developments of Hazel and Antony (who we get a proper intro to as well!)
I remember many a people wondering if Antony shows up, then what? Since Hazel in the first episode really revolved around missing her brother and not dealing with moving to a new town, people thought she wouldn't need the fairies afterwards. At least, I think I saw stuff like that but I might as well clear this out of the way. I think Hazel has a lot of internal issues to get through, and she still needs her fairies, and it's pretty evident in this episode.
Dig A Little Deeper:
A fun episode that was basically Hazel having a special interest in geology and the lengths Hazel will go to make a perfect presentation about rocks. It's so rad! There's not really much to say about it. I liked the rock monsters and the adventures, it was quite fun!
Tumblr media
The bedazzled wands were a hit with me tbh. I would totally own a bedazzled wand.
Tumblr media
AND WE GOT PERI!!!!!!!!!! HE'S BACK!
Potazel Hazel:
[Me when I forget the name of the episode so it surprised me that this is the episode name]
I thought this was a cool as fuck episode.WE GOT ANOTHER NEW CHARACTER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media
Mother Nature got that epic design and you can't argue with it. It's cooler than the music fairy' design and I thought she was neat! I'm ADORING the expansion to fairy lore we've been getting, the writers really know what they're doing. God I love this show
Overall this episode was really great! A good one about eating a healthy, balanced meal and such. Great for kids I guess
There was a great fucking song in this one too! I love how Hazel's VA sings, the songs are pretty damn good in this show!

Since I've seen many posts about people missing how common asks used to be, I have been trying to send to more asks to engage more. I really don't want to bother anyone though so I'd love to know if you enjoy receiving asks and if so what kind of asks. Detailed? Vague? Work? Fandom? Movies? Books? Childhood? Gardening? Thoughts? OTPs? OCs? I'm sure there are way more categories, I'm not limiting you to these listed options. Perhaps if it's an easier question what types of asks do you not like?
Hey Lovely!
AHHH never apologize for sending asks, and any kind of ask is welcome here! I don't reply to all of them, obviously, mostly because of time constraints and sometimes because the topic might be too mentally exhausting for me to deal with. Honestly I love getting asks so that I have NEW content daily for everyone... asks are the lifeblood of this blog, and I don't get many of them these days, not nearly as much as I got in the past. It's the only reason the content is less here, because I don't have the engagement much anymore.
As for types of asks, I like asks that can be answered in 10 to 15 minutes, because those are my fave ones on weeknights when I just want to get off my computer after a LONG day at work, but my obsessive need to ensure I have at least two new posts daily won't let me NOT answer SOMETHING. But HONESTLY, I've been really enjoying the ones you've been sending me, I just haven't a chance to sit down and get to all of them because, as I said, some require more thought than others.
I like fic rec asks because it gives me content on Sundays. I'm running out of them. I like asks about me, because I'm lonely but my shit self esteem won't allow me to... be a bother to anyone, so I just keep everything bottled up. I like the advice asks that allow me to be a big sister, because that's what I'm good at.
I like asks that ask my opinion on movies and TV shows, meta-style asks, and just.... getting to know me, I guess :)
I don't like TOO personal asks, hate asks, passive aggressive asks, pushy asks... just standard asks that "if you wouldn't like getting this ask, why do you think I would like it?".
But yeah, my blog pretty much lives on asks, so if I'm not getting them, then I'm not posting as often.
Anyway, thank YOU for taking time out to ask! It's appreciated! <3

just got home from seeing Saw X with @endlessly-vivid and I HAVE SO MANY. SO MANY EMOTIONS ABOUT IT. [spoilers for saw x under the cut]
-THIS WAS FUCKING AMAZING. GENUINELY. PROBABLY MY FAVORITE SAW SINCE SAW 3, AND DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 5 SAW FILMS OF ALL TIME.
-THE REFERENCE TO THE FIRST FILM WHEN KRAMER GETS UP FROM THE BLOOD (?) TRAP THING
-the reveal was SO SO FUCKING GOOD. we obviously know john and amanda survive, but having the kid to keep the audience on their toes and desperately trying to figure out HOW we get to saw 3 after this was great
-THE VICTIMS WERE SO LIKABLE. genuinely this entire cast of victims were acted and written phenomenally. every single one of them, even someone with so little screen time like valentina or a person we're set up to hate like cecilia had SO much character and i was rooting for all of them at the same time. gabriella's performance was especially amazing, but all of them really were great
-on top of being likable, they were also all so humanized. the little details like mateo needing a translation of the tape and gabriella tossing the tape away when she got scared or trying to hit the radiation with the hammer were so great.
-ALSO how close they all got to surviving their traps was so heart wrenching and insane like i was on the edge of my seat every time.
-AMANDA AMANDA AMANDA. she has always slayed, she has always been an indie horror sweetheart but this movie was one of my favorites pieces of her that we've seen. there is so much more depth and incentive added to a lot of her actions in saw 3 now and it is gorgeous. also shawnee smith gave a beautiful performance as always
-THE HIGHLIGHTING OF JIGSAW'S HYPOCRISY CONTRASTED WITH CECILIA'S WAS AMAZING. cecilia, a wealthy white woman taking advantage of those she has privilege over being a mirror to the way jigsaw blames people for systemic problems that are often times out of their control. cecilia in general was a great villain.
-HOFFMAN CAMEO I SCREAMED.
-my one gripe with the film (sorry i love to critique) is the traps. they were all super creative and it was awesome to see an extra level of complexity added to some of them compared to prior traps, but some of them were so anatomically and medically impossible that i got annoyed watching 😭 mateo acting completely normal after removing like two inches of brain matter and everyone having unrealistically short periods to complete their tasks was annoying BUT the traps were all hella cool so i cant even be truly angry. my favorite was probably mateo's. it was the first saw trap in a while to make me wince and definitely one of the traps where i would be using those tools to kms asap instead of actually attempting to survive lmao
-autumn brought this up to me and i agree so much but the return to some of the classic saw editing was so refreshing and nostalgic.
-i have so many other thoughts but this is all i can organize right now. AHHH, 4.5/5 stars, can't remember the last time i was so hyped in a theater

Can I ask how you draw the mutant mayhem turtles’ anatomy? And proportions. ALSO I LOVE YOUR ART IT IS SO GOOD AND JUST AHHH
(Hopefully that wasn’t weird)
Waaaa thank you!!! :,D!!!!
Uhhhh yeah sure why not. Just so ya know, not great at giving art tutorials so I have no idea how helpful you'll actually find this, but I'll try my best 👍
And this might not need saying, but just so we're on the same page, when I draw the MM turtles I don't exactly stay 100% on model. I generally try to draw them similarly to how they actually look, but I also take some ✨artistic liberties✨, as is the nature of fanart.
Okay let's start with heads, that's probably the one of the MM boys' most distinct feature. For Raph and Leo it's easy to divide their heads up in two main shapes. The lower part of their head sticks out quite a bit compared to the upper part. I dunno how clear it is in these images but compared to Leo, Raph has a bit of a wider head (mostly the cheeks) and the top of it is flatter. Leo's head is a bit more round-ish while Raph's is slightly more angular.
Tumblr media
For Mikey and Donnie it's easier to just view their heads as one single shape (The lower part of their heads are still wider than the upper part, but it's not as noticeable as it is with their other brothers) Mikey's head is just straight up an oval. Well, not exactly, like an oval and a rectangle with mixed together. Donne's is less stretched out, like a circle and a rectangle mixed together.
Tumblr media
But that's the movie, when it comes my art I have a tendency to dial down the differences between their heads and draw them a bit more overall roundish. (Except for like Donnie, I actually tend to make his face a bit more stretched out and rectangular lol)
Tumblr media
I'm still figuring out how exactly I wanna draw these guys TBH, so my art of them isn't super consistent. That being said, there's a lot of squash and stretch going on in the movie's animation when it comes to facial expressions. So even in the movie their head-shapes aren't super consistent either.
Anyway, body proportions!
Tumblr media
Aside from maybe height the brother all have pretty similar body-types. Raph I would say looks the most different, being a bit wider. Particularly his carapace is almost bit pear shaped? It gets wider the further down it goes is what I'm trying to say. Leo, Donnie and Mikey have a more consistent rectangular shape. (Another detail I noticed while making this was that it seems that Leo and Donnie have six scutes on their plastron, while Raph and Mikey have 8. It's a bit hard to see tho because their belts are kinda in the way)
With specifically their limbs, Donnie and Mikey are a bit lankier, while Raph and Leo have slightly thicker muscles (tho still rather lanky compared to other iterations of the turtles)
When I draw them they (like with their head shapes) end up more similar to each other than they are with their canon designs. I also draw them with slightly less thin limbs.
Tumblr media
Shell! It was hard finding good images of the back of their shells so I dunno exactly how many scutes they have back there, but it seems to be 3 columns at the very least? (Also I think Leo might have a comparatively slightly smaller shell than his brothers?)
The shells also generally take up a bit more than half of their side-profile. Looking more closely at these reference images have made me realize that I draw their shells a bit flat lol.
Tumblr media
I don't know how much more help I can give when it comes to their designs. I just end off with some details to remember when drawing them.
Raph is missing a tooth, and Mikey has braces. (Leo had braces in the concept art and I'm stubborn and insist on drawing him with them also because fuck you)
They all have a few scratches here and there, but in typical Raph fashion, he has a LOT of scratches on his plastron. Also his beltbuckle has tape on it.
The space between their eyes is narrower than the size of one of their eyes, except for Mikey. Him having a wider face makes his ...nosebridge(?)... whatever, the space there is approximately the width of one of his eyes. Some facial anatomy for ya'
Another face anatomy thing, the ends of their mouths mostly lines up with the outer edge of their eyes (they're pretty wide)

MY SUPER MARIO MOVIE REVIEW (SPOILERS AHEAD)
Okay, so I have finally composed myself and I will say…man…the Mario movie was fun!
My overall review is its very funny, full of heart and the animation is gorgeous. There’s a lot of unexpected scenes that I found heartwarming and added to the characters/ plot.❤️
However…that being said…the pacing and script is my main concern. I know they have to fit a large chunk of lore for a good runtime, but there isn’t much development.
“But Moon, mario wasn’t all about story” I know, but a movie provides a chance to add story at a cinematic level.
Expanding the world and if not that the characters. If anything, I do not mind the simple plot. Mario needs to save Luigi and work alongside Princess Peach to defeat Bowser. Perfect.
However. I would have really liked more expanded characters. But I will elaborate below because that’s not my only critique.
Beyond here will be spoilers, read at your own risk!! My blog will start reposting/ talking about spoilers from here and now since it’s officially out!
***
CONS/ WHAT I WISH IT HAD MORE OF:
-I wish the bros got more screen time. Their chemistry and brotherly love was amazing, and I was itching to see more of them together.🥺
-that fight at the end with Bowser tho WAS EPIC! But Luigi was super underutilized omg… I really thought he was gonna have another role in the movie. I think they missed out on the side characters having more of a role or even a conversation…
-Speaking of which, idk, I found Lumalee kind of annoying. I know it’s probably going to set up a future movie…but I thought at least we would get some insight as to why the Luma was captured, why it hates living so much, idk….lol. But I did love the voice of Lumalee, super cute :)
-characterization. Apart from Mario and a LITTLE of luigi, and DK, the rest felt bland… I feel like bowser could have been more fleshed out (but don’t get me wrong, I loved how he had a crush on peach, his song and planned on marrying her. AHHH I LOVED IT) toad could have been more fleshed out. What are his goals at least? Not every character has to have an internal conflict, but he just felt…there. And what a shame because hes charming!
-okay guys, but peachs characterization. I’m sorry, this deserves its own post, so I will hyperlink it here when I finishing writing that, but omg yeah I am not quite attached to her portrayal yet😅 what a shame too because I love her so much…
-wish we spent some more time getting to know Mario’s family😭
-not a fleshed out ending. Hoped that peach would have reacted being on earth, maybe a montage of Brooklyn adjusting to having this pipe that leads to another world. What was the cities response overall when it came to cleanup? I know they have HAD to had some questions why a huge gorilla with a tie was there…and talking! Lol…
now… drumroll please…

POSITIVES/ WHAT I FREAKIN LOVEDDDDD:
-Mario. Omg they freakin ACED Mario. His character flaws, his goals, aspirations, internal conflict, personality, everything I headcanoned/ hoped for. He’s a goofball who loves adventure, plumbing and loves his family. His determination, stubbornness, (RIZZ HE GOT THAT RIZZ!!!) and charm. Ugh. That affirms it. He’s my fav. I wanted to hug him through the screen many times SO BAD!!!🥺❤️
-luigi and Mario’s brotherly love/chemistry. Omg. The flashback of them as babies and when Mario was cupping Luigi’s face and almost crying out of relief. Like omg omg I’m so happy to that attention to detail😭🥺❤️ they love each other so much it’s just… *chefs kiss* I’m hoping for future movies we get more brotherly scenes, I’m still waiting for that piggyback ride🫶❤️
-baby peach. I just…I wasn’t expecting it. She was so cute and the fact that the toads just adopted her and raised her as their own tells goes sweet they are. 🥹 I’m so glad we got some of a backstory for her! But Omg…she was someone’s child then! :o I love lore…
-bowsers singing and the song peaches is a legit masterpiece. If my man don’t make a song like this and doesn’t sing it with that much enthusiasm I don’t want him!!😤😤😂💞but yep Jack black was awesome hehe he had me dying of laughter and he was super intimidating as Bowser!! He understood the assignment 💅🏼
-which reminds me. I love the plot of Bowser wanting to marry Peach and getting jealous of Mario. I wish we got Mario’s reaction of peach wearing the wedding dress tho I don’t think it really hit him that Bowser was trying to marry Peach…
- speaking of which…Mareach! We got a few cute scenes!! Nothing major, but I see that they are making it a slow burn romance 😏😂 okay, I can wait! While I wish we got more scenes, I loved how DK called out Mario’s attempts at flirting, Peach calling him adorable when he had his cat suit🥺🥺 and her giggles when Mario promises to buy her a pet turtle if she comes to Brooklyn. That was so freakin cute!!!❤️❤️🥹 you can tell Mario likes her, and peach has a fondness for him :)))
-CAT MARIO WAS SO ADORABLE DID YOU SEE WHEN HE BEAT DONKEY KONG HE WAS KNEEDING ON HIM LIKE A CAT WOULD AHHHHH-
-the animation and the storyboarding. Everything art related. The score. I wanted to fly when I heard bowsers theme. I wanted to cry seeing the beautifully crafted action scenes and I can’t wait to see the storyboards 😭❤️ illumination went all the way!!! Also the character design!!! I love all of their designs!!!
-the pop songs were a nice touch and the humor was great. :3
-SEEING MARIOS FAMILY AND THE FACT THAT CHARLES PLAYS THEIR DAD IS SO ADORABLE AND AWESOME I WAS FREAKIN FANGIRLING!!!
-also like I headcanoned THEIR MAMA IS SO ADORABLE I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! No wonder they came out as sweet incredible boys 🥺🧡
-the soundtrack man. They were cooking up in the studio I’m telling you!!! I heard it’s on Spotify now so I’m gonna be listening to it lol
-luigi is so precious but I wish HE HAD MORE SCREENTIME
-DK and Mario’s relationship give me rowdy sibling vibes and I’m here for it
-I love how they can travel from Brooklyn to mushroom kingdom through the pipe, at first I thought it was a star VS the forces of evil thing and the worlds merged until I realized the ending… XD
-I loved all the voices!! I think everyone did an amazing job, I heard a few inconsistencies throughout the movie but meh, everyone seemed excited for their roles!!!🧡🫶
If I can think of anything else I will add, but yeah, I think I had higher expectations for the movie😅 I think if it had a bit more time to flesh out characters, it would have been SUPER great. I loved all the references inside the movie, you can tell it was crafted with passion and love❤️ it was a very fun experience and of course the BRAINROT increased💞
Of course, this is my personal opinions and such, if you have a different one, that's fine! This is just what I would liked to see/ what I thought would have been better in the movie. That’s all!! :3
