#Letter 64

[yeoldenews]

A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.

(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)

Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.

2 Paper Marios Hypothesis

So Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam introduced a Paper Mario from another world that came from a book. This has lead many people to conclude that the Paper Games are not canon to the Canon of Mario Tales. However, I disagree with this and believe there is an alternative answer to this.

So I believe there are 2 Paper Marios, once from the Paper Jam Book, and the other is the Main Mario from all the games taking on a Paper form. So what do I mean by Paper form? Well on the back of the box of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door it says "Time passes, the pages turn...and a new chapter unfolds in an unfamiliar land! Get ready for a two-dimensional role-playing adventure for the ages as Mario returns to paper form to discover a mystery that sleeps behind an ancient, legendary portal called the Thousand-Year Door." This text alongside things like dev interviews has lead me and some others to believe the Main Mario is able to take on a Paper Form. This would be similar to the Pixel Form we know he can take on through various means.

So as for the Paper Jam Paper Mario. Something that goes overlooked or is seen as a continuity error in Paper Jam is the Sticker Crown Pokey showing up, when the Crown should only be around if some messed with the Sticker Comet. However, I think this is telling us that the events of Paper Mario: Sticker Star hasn't fully happened to this Paper Mario. This would also explain why there is no Paper Starlow running around. This Paper Mario has yet to go through the events of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.

Now someone might point to Mario folding himself into an airplane in PMTTYD, the sentient Scissors, or the Paint and other craft themes of the Paper games and say Mario can't do that. But first off as established before, Mario more than likely can take on a Paper Form, but let's say he can't. This is a high fantasy world with man eating plants, alongside sentient talking trees and sunflowers, hexapod dragons, still living non-avian dinosaurs, reanimated skeletons, turtles that can remove their shells, straight up magic, clouds you can physically ride on, the ability to enter dreams, zippers on terrain you can unzip, swim through the air like a cartoon, be roll yourself up into a wall and use your body as an attack, be flattened like a pancake, or have your body turned into a pinball etc. So Mario being able change his body into an airplane is not too farfetched. Also, sentient scissors is not too different from Exor and Kleever. That and if I am correct the scissors were brought too life by the Fold of Life technique aka magic. Meanwhile paint and vim are a thing in the Mario world.

Now while someone might agree with all this, they may still contend that Sticker Star and Beyond is canon, and may insist it's part of the Paper Jam Continuity. Now as established before the Paper Jam Paper Mario is yet to go through the events of PMSS, there is something else here. We all know the original 3 Paper games referenced the events of the previous games several times. Parakarry shows up in PMTTYD, Kolorado is referenced by the presence of his father's skeleton, and there is a picture of the Paper Mario 64 characters. Meanwhile in Super Paper Mario Francis' Room has references to the previous games. Well turns out PMSS and Paper Mario: The Origami King do the same thing.

In PMSS in the Shy Guy Jungle's Trash Are you can find letters from Parakarry and Goombella which says the following. "Thank you for your letter. Sorry I'm not here to receive it, but I will get back to you shortly. Thanks." Parakarry "Observations on the Ancient Civilization of the Chomp Ruins." University of Goom Goombella And in PMTOK we see photos of Peach from every single Paper Mario Games.

So there are 2 Paper Marios, and this also explains all the information in the main games and Paper games that point to them being canon.

TPB Time!

Greatest Hits ended up costing me a little more than Knuckles Archives Vol. 3!

That Jon Gray cover... Yum! Reggie Graham's colours are so gorgeous. I had actually ended up squeeing about Graham's colours with Abby Bulmer of all people at Sonic FanFest XD

Not to mention Spaz' wonderful work on the Archive covers... I'm spoilt for choice on gorgeous Knux artwork! The only shame is, Julie-Su didn't get to feature on the cover. I understand why, but it has always felt a bit of a shame.

Hey, Mario/Mareach Fandom: Here's a prompt for a fic, tag me if you use this so I can see whatcha made with it, good luck

Dear Mario, please come to the castle. I miss you quite a bit. I...know that it has only been four days since I've last seen you, but I just...miss you so very much.

My heart races when you're here with me, but it pounds whenever you're not around. I ache for your being, my dear plumber.

As I write this, I am thinking all about you...your silly and bushy mustache, your beautiful voice, you're huge appetite...I just can't get enough of it.

I've finished all of my duties for now...so I'm quite free and fine for anything...we could go race...go play some Speed Golf...maybe go to a restaurant...or two...or three...I'd appreciate anything, Mario.

I've written several of these letters...and I've been too shy to send them. This one, I believe, is different. I am sending this to you.

If that won't bring you over here to me...I've baked a cake for you.

Yours truly, Princess Toadstool, Peach ❤️

...

Things to note:

Peach is shy

She's VERY lovestruck

Putting her around Mario puts her in a frenzy...

have fun!

[urutaguja-art-archives]

perhaps you weren't wrong abt thinking of blot as an old man considering,,,, rex

I mean

It makes sense lmao

I gave him that old man hunchback and everything technically. I also thought it was funny to make Blot so grandpa coded too.

Started a post comparing the Messner-Loebs Flash and WW runs and their successes and failures (imo) in portraying certain themes and their similarities to each other but it started getting long and im a very slow tumblr post writer so that's a meta for another day. I do have what I think are well formed opinions on this and I'm fresh off of reading both runs so you guys are not allowed to let me forget abt writing this all up okay. Okay.

My Animal Foresting continues. I forgot how much Zelda crossover stuff there is in the older Animal Crossing games, someone dumped their Master Sword in my town's junkyard and Gulliver apparently has a "goldfish" in a Hyrulian port. Also the writing interface is fucking weird

Hmmm he is so blocky and cute

I love the way his moustache kinda curls at the end, very silly

Princess Plum!

This is a character that appeared in Mario Golf 64 but I designed and interpreted what She would like as a princess. She’s also a part of an au where she and peach live together and are cousins as well. Her Dress was also inspired and based on the clothes of her original design, the her heels having the color “Blue Violet” to present a plum color that’s an homage to her name, also also her crown and oval shaped pink brooch that’s a reference to Princess Peach!

Dopo la tremenda sentenza, quando ebbi indossato l’uniforme del carcere e la porta del carcere fu chiusa alle mie spalle, io giacqui tra le rovine della mia vita che pure era stata meravigliosa, ed ero oppresso dall’angoscia, sconvolto dal terrore, stordito dalla sofferenza. Ma non volli odiarti. Mi ripetevo quotidianamente: «Devo tenere acceso l’amore in me, oggi, altrimenti come potrò arrivare alla fine di questa giornata?».
