So, I think an explanation might be in order.

I took a break from Tumblr (and the internet at large) for a while. I made a post about it on my main blog before leaving, but I kinda forgot the part where that information is not transferred over to my other blogs. My mistake!

(Updates on my life and a better explanation of why I was gone are here, if you're curious. None of it's terribly important or relevant to this blog.)

Regardless, I'm back now! Mario has still very much been relevant to my life, of course, so here's a couple updates on that vein;

I saw the Mario Movie and I loved it to death. Quite literally, my only real complaint with it is that it wasn't longer. I've still only gotten to see it once (I'm waiting for it to come to streaming, so I can watch it a million times back to back), but I have been obsessively watching it's monetary success. It's the 3rd highest-grossing animated film of all time now, if you weren't aware; Nintendo is almost certainly going to be making more movies and I'm so excited for it.

I also took on the daunting task of making a Mario Timeline, and... it honestly wasn't as hard as I expected to do. Once I got over the fact that there were some things that would never make sense (e.g. Firebrand nullifying the point of fire flowers), it was a simple task of trying to find all the direct references. I now have all* the games put into a chronological order. That'll be something I post about a lot going forward, as it's the first step towards making my own personal version of the lore.

(*Not literally all--because that'll take a million years--but it's all the games that have an actual plot and are canon in my eyes.)

I also finished Sparks of Hope! I realized I didn't keep up my updating with that, my bad. It's a great game, I strongly prefer it to Kingdom Battle. I promise that's not just because Rosalina is in this one.

Other than that, I hope to resume my normal postings here soon. Sorry again for just like... phasing out of existence.

Martha Singing

Martha is a member of the Bendigo South Sudanese Ensemble, formed in 2019. Every week they would come together to ideate, compose, sing and practise their craft, working towards a performance celebrating their culture and heritage. The photo was taken in The Engine Room, a black box performance space that is quite disorienting to be in when the lights are low. I wanted a sense of the subjects floating in the space, emphasising the feeling of being cut off and isolated by the pandemic

Shuake Week 2023 Day 4: Bad Ending

The engine room scene may not be a bad ending in the game, but it certainly is one for Joker~

These days, my desk at home has been my favorite study spot. Campus gets crazy crowded during exam season, and considering it's freezing outside I have quicker access to a cup of tea 🍵
