Pretty sure SMG34 were already asked this but are any of the married/engaged/long term couples planning on having any kids in the future?

Meggy: Meet our child, Ducky!

Tari: Isn’t he just the cutest little guy?

SMG6: Ch-child…? Um… as… as in… um… a… um… uh… we… huh…?

SMG5: We have Sprinkles!

Sprinkles: *clicking with glee*

Mario: Mario thinks he would make a great-a dad!

Mr. Puzzles: I can agree with that… Although… I have no idea if we would ever adopt or build a child or anything

🍓: the picture above is meant to suggest I might make a version of @ominus-potato ‘s SpagehTV canon to the Apprenticeship AU. Still debating about it

Bob: Hah! No.

SMG1: I have grandkids. I don’t need any kids.

Axol: Um… Axol Jr. counts. But…um… maybe like… 5 or 10 years from now…?

Melony: I wouldn’t mind having kids, but we don’t have to. Not really in any plans at the moment!

SMG4: Yeah we already answered this question. We already basically have 4. We don’t need any more

SMG3: Uh huh.

SMG4: Yes

SMG3: What-?

Hey same anon who sent that smg34 ask. I didn't expect the long rant, but honestly I agree with you on most of it. I personally find the ship boring as well. But now I'm curious on how you feel about Axol x Melony, since you brought of it.

Personally I'm not a fan of it, mostly because of the writing.

Yeah sorry didn’t mean to go in a massive tangent. Just been thinking about it for a while and been waiting to talk about it.

Anyway, Axol and Melony.

They could have worked. But they were rushed. Their moments we cute at the time but nothing more. Melony and Axol have no real chemistry. It’s just cute girl x nice boy for the sake of shipping.

We knew that Axol liked Melony but there was never once ANY indication that Melony saw Axol as anything other than a friend. Not a blush, not a longing look, nothing. We got a SMALL implication near the end of Genisis but that could easily be interpreted as concern for her best friend.

For Axol and Melony to work, I needed to see them having good chemistry. Not just “cute oblivious innocent girl x best friend who secretly has a crush on her” bc that is the most one dimensional shit I have ever seen.

Overall, they are the blueprint for a basic ass ship with no real chemistry. It’s just a ship for ship sake at that point. Which is fine but if you’re gonna make THAT the only canon ship in your show then bloody hell…

And then, both the fandom AND the show has made Axol’s death basically Melony’s whole personality!! All she does is sleep and hold an axolotl. That is it.

Character development for people who aren’t Meggy, SMG4, SMG3 and Mr Puzzles is just completely nonexistent. I miss the 2020 era where we could have a full episode dedicated to side characters like Shroomy, giving these background characters real personality and personal strife. We got to see into Shroomy’s family history, learn about how his bite came about, how Anti Shroomy used to be the sole owner of his body before the bite of 87, Shroomy’s relationship with his Uncle falling apart. WHY CANT WE HAVE STUFF LIKE THIS ANYMORE?!!

Kaizo is an example. He came about in that little KS2 arc and he hasn’t been used for shit since. Just background appearances. I’m sick of episodes focusing on SMG3, 4 and Meggy. If you look at the focus character for episodes last year, Three was the majority of them and people STILL complained when he wasn’t in an episode! I get he’s the fan favourite but my god, SMG1 hasn’t spoken since the holding hands episode!! LET ME SEE MY BOY!

It’s nice to see Karen and Swag being used in a few more episodes now though. They’re the only side characters we really consistently see anymore.

Got a little off topic there but yeah. Axol and Melony needed more time.

What the hell are these relationship parallels…

Firstly, Thank you @mentallyunawareofpapaya for the Tumblr post that inspired this post.

Secondly, if Axol does get revived, I think it'll go down this way.

Axol doesn't want to make everyone go into shock so he decides to sneak about the new castle and mentally decide who he wants to reunite with first.

Bob is actually the first person that finds out Axol is back thanks to Axol helping him get to bed while Bob was drunk. The thing is: Bob has been drunk so many times that his memory isn't affected by being drunk anymore so he remembers Axol helping him to bed.

Axol is scared that his plan is wrecked but nobody believes Bob when he excitedly tells them that Axol is alive again because, as SMG4 put it, "If Axol was back, Melony would be the first to know. She is his girlfriend after all."

Mario is actually the second to find out Axol is back, thanks to an incident that involved a spaghetti strainer and roller-skates.

Meggy and Melony are the only ones who believes Mario when he excitedly tells the group that Axol is back.

Axol decides, with a coin flip, to officially reunite with Meggy first. He sends an anonymous letter in the Inkling language to Meggy challenging her to a one on one terf war. Once Meggy gets there, Axol appears wearing a Annaki Polpo-Pic Tank instead of his normal blue shirt and wielding a Inkbrush. After a pretty intense one on one terf war, the two best friends fall to the ground exhausted but laughing.

Meggy helps Axol plan his reunion with Melony. Meggy gives Melony a picture showing a patch of land by a lake that reads on the back "Come here for a surprise.". Melony reaches the place, wielding her sword just in case it was a trap, only to see Axol sitting on a picnic blanket with a picnic basket beside him. Melony drops her sword and knocks over the picnic basket glomping Axol in a loving embrace.

After a lot of happy tears and kisses, the two have a wonderful picnic date by the lake.

Boopkins is kind of salty that he was among the last to find out his senpai is back but he understands why Axol went the sneaky route and that Mario and Bob finding out before he did was a total accident on Axol's part.

Since most of his friends and his girlfriend know he's back, he stops sneaking around. He joins the group activities and waits for the inevitable shoe to drop of SMG4 finding out he's back.

The thing is: Everyone forgets how oblivious SMG4 can be. He's so focused on making videos that he doesn't even register that Axol is supposed to be dead. Plus, continuity has been messed with so many times that when it finally registers that this Axol is real and not a sleep/guilt induced hallucination, he chalks it up to Axol's death being retconned.

The entire SMG4 crew finds SMG4's obviousness bloody hilarious while Axol starts losing respect for SMG4 the more time passes with SMG4 not registering that Axol got revived.

It becomes a game of "how long until SMG4 remembers that Axol's death is still canon?" to the SMG4 crew with each one of them trying to jog SMG4's memory.

Finally, after a entire month or two, halfway through a group dinner SMG4's eyes go wide as he shouts "Holy sh*t! Axol died and came back!"

Cue the most uproarious laughter from a few of the SMG4 crew while everyone else simultaneously asks "What took you so long?"

Later that day, while babysitting Karen's children, Karen reveals that she saw Axol and Melony sneak into the castle after their picnic date.

Cue Karen almost dropping her cup of coffee in shock when SMG4 reveals that Axol died (canonically) two years ago.

By the way, SMG3 knew from the start of Axol's return due to their shared connection to The Internet Graveyard.

[askthesmg4apprenticeshipau]

do smgs and melon deities age or die of natural causes?

Are Three and Melody gonna pull up to the afterlife one day and each have 2 boyfriends in heaven?

Would Three even be able to handle two SMG4s or would he have a post-death heart attack and get sent to the after-afterlife?

SMG5: From what we’ve learned, we don’t age in conventional ways. If something happens to us to cause us to age or die, then that would affect us, but we don’t do that naturally. If that makes sense?

SMG4: I… don’t know about that second question…

Axol: Yeah. I don’t know if we’d go to the afterlife ourselves. Do we have souls that could even go there?

SMG4: I don’t know.

SMG4: But, I mean… it might be really awkward if we do ever… meet our real selves…

Axol: Oh, most definitely.

SMG3: Two SMG4s…

SMG5: You broke him

Melony: Well, I would love both Axols!

SMG3: ….

SMG5: Hello?? Earth to SMG3???

SMG3: …

SMG5: I think he’ll have a post-death heart attack and go to the after-afterlife

Mario: Gay!

SMG3: Two SMG4s…

SMG5: Dude….

SMG4: 3….

Mario: *laughing*

Axol: We lost him

SMG4: You guys broke my husband…

🍓: Have a doodle of SMG3 and Melony with both their bfs in the afterlife ^^

🍓: I might actually open up asks to the real Axol and SMG4… let me know what you guys think of that!

[newtstesco]

i don’t care abt that ok ok ok la la la la shit this song is Axol x Melony and if you argue with me i will kill you

[ominus-potato]

The other weird thing about axolony is that Axol sort of… treats Melony like a child that needs to be protected. The “Yeah but she has the innocence of a 5 year old” line. Him freaking out over her hanging out with Bob and trying to make sure she doesn’t hear swear words? And like seeing him have to move past that and see Melony with more respect would’ve been interesting, but he died before anything went anywhere. She’s an accomplished person Axol she’s done espionage before she was part of the anti-cast and did villainy with 3 like she’s a sweetheart but she’s not some naive innocent child.

weird!! Like yeah the tragedy of it is intriguing but. That’s it. They didn’t really have chemistry we’re just sort of. Told that they love each other.

The bit in revelations where Melony glimpses the afterlife and sees him again is really good though. But I feel like it’s forgotten. She chose living on with her friends over giving in and being with him in the afterlife. That should’ve been the start of her realizing she needs to move on, but she hasn’t! And I know grief takes time to work through but like!!

Anyway I think the fact that she’s friends with Bob is underutilized. Let her hang with Bob and Boopkins that would be a fun group dynamic I think. Would also be fun to see her interact with Saiko more.

Could not have said it better myself.

That “mentally a 5 year old” line always rubbed me the wrong way. I didn’t want to bring it up on the last post bc I thought it was a little bit dramatic to call the ship bad bc of that line but it’s definitely something to consider.

But you’re right, it’s not just that line. Axol consistently treats Melony like a helpless toddler when she’s extremely capable. I get that it’s probably meant to be funny or cute or whatever but it just feels like the writers were trying to do loads of different things with their dynamic at once but ultimately ended up contracting themselves.

Idk if you know people like this but to me, Axol strikes me as the type of guy to fall in love with any pretty girl who is nice to him. But he does way too much and gets friendzoned pretty much every time. Then when he’s rejected, he accepts it and finds another girl to be infatuated with for a week.

I would love to have seen Melony’s character development outside of her relationship with Axol but alas, SMG4 writers don’t pay attention to the characters that aren’t SMG3, 4 and Meggy now 😔 2024 was honestly not a great year for SMG4. I’m hoping they’ll fix all of this in 2025 and make something more akin to 2023 (best year imo) but we’ll just have to wait and see.
