Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Iconic Themes

[toastereno]

i said i would post my piano covers here, so...what better song to start with than the iconic one from psmd? :'^)

this was all done by ear (except for the beginning where i used bespinben's score because those chords are tough to figure out, so shoutouts to them)! this song holds a special place in my heart for many reasons: it's the reason i played psmd and restarted playing the piano, just to name two!

by the way, there's a little surprise at the end 😊

tree of life: roots super mystery dungeon ost

[ihateuno]

I’ve always seen the Togabito from Nanbaka kinda like Mutants from the X-men series in multiple ways including (possibly) being a metaphor.

To start off in X-men the Mutants are a pretty obvious metaphor for outsiders and minorities. Of course we already know that Togabito are supposed to be outsiders due to their abilities. But I’m talking social outsiders due to differences.

I feel the way Murakami family treats him could be paralleled to how a family could treat a child for coming out or a child have a disability! (Also are we gonna talk about the borderline eugenics?) Even his sentencing to Nanba could be compared to how minorities in the real world are sentenced to prison despite being innocent.

Another character I feel we could compare to minority issues is Musashi. He was seen as a monster for his ability despite the fact he had no control over it! Especially with his prison scentence being without really any proof - just speculation.

I didn’t word this one as well as I wanted to - I may come back to this lol as it’s been in the back of my head for a while - also what EXACTLY qualifies as a Togabito? I mean… Noriko should fit right? Or Samon, or even Taura. Maybe the laws of nature.

(I’m writing this in class so please excuse my mistakes)

This track also gives me a very "urban life in the 90s-early 2000s" vibe for some reason.

ROTTMNT x SR:US Crossover Human AU: Basics Intro

Bruh I keep making drabbles and oneshots within my own rottmnt x samurai rabbit human AU but never post any actual info or “lore” but it’s cus idk how to start?? Soooo I guess this’ll be like the concept plan? Idk I’ll just try to make this look organized so I can introduce the world I’m always writing about ε-(´∀｀; )

AU Name: Crazy Little Thing Called Life

AU Summary: Take Rise TMNT and Samurai Rabbit into a crossover world where they’re just normal human people with no magic or mystics, just living and experiencing this crazy little thing called life (hehe) and just go through normal human things.

Characters (Older Adults): Splinter (Hamato Yoshi), Big Mama (Adeline Desir), Baron Draxum (Berry Powell), Usagi’s Auntie (Shimada Noriko), Hueso (Jacinto Gerrero-Vazquez), Foot Lieutenant (Fukunaga Kenji) Foot Recruit Brute (Tsuchida Kazou)

*sidenote that bc I’m making all the non-humans, well…human (:p) I’m giving them full names bc I’m extra like that so what’s in parentheses is what their names will be in my fanfics*

Characters (teens/young adults): April O’ Niel, Cassandra “Casey” Jones, Sunita (Sunita Modi), Gen (Murakami Gennosuke), Chizu (Ogawa Chizu) Kitsune (Shimada Kitsune), Yuichi Usagi, Frida/Venus (Frida Hamato), Raph, (Raphael Hamato), Leo (Leonardo Hamato), Donnie (Donatello Hamato), Mikey (Michelangelo Hamato), Mona Lisa (Mona Keke)

Race/Ethnicity

Bruh so this is kinda embarrassing but my brain got scrambled really bad every time I tried to organize it so I’ll just tell you guys in paragraph form (´ω`)

Starting off on the ROTTMNT side, the Hamato kids are blasian but only Raph, Mikey and Frida are half Haitian since I’m making Big Mama Haitian but Donnie and Leo aren’t since their bio mom was born in the U.S. Splinter is still Japanese lol and Draxum is Native American, specifically Cherokee. Hueso is Mexican and born in Yucatán (I will not elaborate any further or else I’ll never post this thing bc I’ll over complicate my answer), Casey is wasian with her mom being Japanese and her dad being a white American and Foot Lieutenant and Brute are her gay uncles and they’re Japanese too but Brute’s been in the US way longer than Lieutenant, April stays the same as a Black American and Sunita is blasian as her dad’s also a black American but her mom is Indian. Mona will also be in and I’m writing her as Polynesian Hawaiian.

Now with the Samurai rabbit side. This is pretty easy since they’re all Japanese BUT Chizu is half Filipino, Gen has Polynesian roots from his dad’s side and Kitsune is Ainu which is a small indigenous group in the north side of Japan. Usagi, his aunt, Hana and Kiyoko are mainlanders so they’re pretty “average” I suppose you can say even though it feels icky saying that given Japan got their issues when it comes to people they don’t deem as Japanese

Relationships

*adding deets on Splinter and his relationships bc it’s relevant for my new fanfic so I’m his is the one I’m only gonna reveal for now. But also I have another fanfic that’s set within this AU brewing in my head actually so what I wrote for Lieutenant and Brute is for future use*

Yoshi/Big Mama (past)

Legally married for nearly a decade but close to the end of their marriage they (more so Big Mama) opened their relationship so they could see/be with other people if they wanted to (Yoshi only saw 1 person and it led to Leo and Donnie to be conceived lmao)

Biological parents of Frida, Raph, and Mikey

Met the same way as they did in canon

Few years down the road Big Mama would later became Splinter’s boss for a bit since she got a huge promotion to be his manager (she’s just that girl ✨💵✨)

Were on bad terms for a while but for the sake of the kids learned to be civil with each other so they could healthily co-parent

Yoshi/Draxum (Current)

Started off as just a professional relationship as Yoshi hired Berry to be his personal chef since he was pretty much on his own taking care of the tots and cooking wasn’t really his specialty (spoiler, Berry wasn’t good at it either) and one thing lead to another and somehow Berry just stuck to the Hamatos since the tots saw him as their 2nd dad

They don’t want to label what they got going on but they do be cuddling each other most sometimes in bed

Homosexuals indeed

Yoshi/Dona (Past)

Had a rough introduction at the library after accidentally bumping into her and making her spill her coffee onto her shirt. She didn’t like that at all that it took nearly 2 months for her to forgive him

Started as just library buddies until she invited him out clubbing and then after series of events ended up in a friends with benefits type relationship

They were 30 and 29 when they had Leo and Donnie; Dona would’ve also been 30 if she hadn’t died a month before her birthday :( (yes I’m evil)

A lot of their hangouts consisted of them staying inside Dona’s studio, drink wine or smoke herb and vent about their childhood trauma with Depeche Mode or The Cranberries playing in the background

Yoshi didnt know Dona was pregnant until five months into her pregnancy when she finally confessed to him because she initially didn’t want to keep them but had no choice because she didn’t know she was even pregnant until she suddenly felt really sick and after a trip to the doctors found out she already close to her 2nd trimester already so she couldn’t get an abortion even if she wanted to.

There’s a lot more drama with them but I’ll just reveal that stuff in my future fics

In conclusion. Yoshi just has a thing for pretty and intelligent people who are mean to him and I think he’s so real for that 👍

Foot lieutenant/Foot brute

Met at a underground rock show in New York, (brute made the first move lol)

Moved into a studio together 3 years down the road and dated a year later

Initially took Casey in for a bit when she was 6 due to her and her parents rocky relationship but would officially gain guardianship over her 2 years later she threatened to run away if she went back with her parents

Younger couples included in this AU so far

April/Casey/Sunita

Raph/Mona

Donnie/Kendra

Donnie/Jonathan

Leo/Usagi

Kitsune/Chizu

And that’s pretty much it for now, geez I can’t believe I had this drafted for a whole 4 months :;(∩´﹏`∩);:

[hopeaterart]

And BOOM! Finished a second page of busts! For those unware, these are character busts for characters in my iteration of TMNT, From the Hidden City, which is also a bit of a cross-over with Usagi Yojimbo. In order, from left to right and from up to down, we have:

Bludgeon, one of Big Mama's bodyguard. Despite being blind, he's an excellent fighter, and is remarkably chill for being the bodyguard of the biggest crimeboss in the Hidden City. Might help that his employer can defend herself just fine.

Tigerclaw, an enforcer of the Foot Clan. Birth name Takeshi, he volunteered to be mutated with one of the 'captured' oozequitoes so the Foot could monitor the effects of the mutagen for themselves. He's an old friend of the Shredder, and the instructor and handler of Karai and her group.

Kitsune, a yokai sorceress in the Foot Clan. Recruited during the Battle Nexus, she's actually a spy for Draxum, and was able to weasel into the New York's branch inner council despite her attempts at seducing the Shredder hitting a wall. She and Karai's group don't get along.

Meat Sweats, original name Rupert Swaggart. A celebrity chef with his own show, he had the misfortune of being the first victim of Draxum's new mutagen, which still needed some fine tuning. Driven half-mad by his mutation, some part of him still wishes for his old life back.

Repo Mantis, a gangster who ended up mutated. While extremely pissed off about being mutated, it hasn't stopped him from continuing his usual business as a junker and car thief, including a certain etiquette as a businessman. While not on very good terms with the Turtles due to multiple attempts at stealing their Tank, he doesn't want them dead and has been willing to help on a few occasions.

Hypno-Potamus and Warren Stone, a stage magcian and news anchorman who ended up mutated. Originally teaming up to better fight against the Turtles, the two's relationship has genuinely blossomed into something more... special. While Hypno is more-or-less at peace with his mutation, in part due to it somehow making his magic real, Warren is utterly miserable about it.

Irma Langinstein, one of April's friend and fellow school journal member. She's a nerdy and clumsy girl who's also somewhat boy-crazy. Despite this, she's an excellent editor and often the one who makes sense out of April's more out-there articles.

Sunita Lal, one of April's friend and fellow school journal member. She's a fashionable and artistic girl who's in charge of both photography and the 'gossip' collumn, preferring more down-to-earth matters than April.

Lotus Blossom, one of April's friend and fellow school journal member. A moody girl, she's basically the journal's producer, making sure that her friends stay on track and don't accidentally reveal that some poor kid's parents are having a divorce through getting swept up in their investigations. She also does martial arts competively.

Murakami Gennosuke, Gen for short. A former gangster, he was caught, and is currently serving a sentence of community service by being in the Old Guard. Despite their differences, he and Usagi are friends.

Ame Tomoe, a member of the Old Guard. She's a skilled warrior and a good friend of Usagi, and the two have bonded over having similar gruesome pasts. Her sister, Noriko, is a small-time crimelord in the Hidden City. Her being in the Old Guard might be her way to try and atone for that.

Jei, a malovelent spirit. He's responsible for killing most of Usagi's family. He eventually incarnates again, intent on finishing what he started. He and Draxum have some history together.
