DTVA Past and Present in Chibiverse s2 finale

[chaos0pikachu]

man reading folks say LITBC is most likely~ and probably~ inspired by shows like Sex in the City & Friends is so wild to me and makes me wanna write something about like, other Korean media about relationships set in Seoul (which are like, so fucking many lmao like are we playing? are we acting out? are we being silly?) or otherwise about sex, love and life in a big city

idk why fandom always wants to connect things back to America like sure American media is fucking everywhere cause America is Like That (unfortunate) but idk man the author himself talked about what inspired LITBC and it wasn't some American tv shows three decades old

anyway if you dig LITBC I think it'd be worth reading Until I Meet My Husband both the BL manga (published by Penguin) and the original memoir (published by 7Seas). It's got similar vibes and is also about a gay man navigating his sexuality, coming out, life and relationships.

Mario Is Not From Brooklyn

So something that I've noticed come up time and again in Mario lore discussion is people trying to argue that Mario is still an Italian American Immigrant from Brooklyn, and that he get Isekaied into the Mushroom Kingdom. They claim the New Donkers colonized the Metro Kingdom and the events of Donkey Kong Arcade took place in New York City, and they try to use Tour Earth(I'll talk about this in a future post) in this all. They also claim DK94 is the only one that takes place New Donk City. Many try to use this to claim the movie is canon to the games as well. So here's why this is not the story of the games. First off in the article from Engadget titled Super Mario Odyssey' may look bizarre, but it feels just right. We learn Mario is not an Italian American from Brooklyn. "At first, this is almost jarring. In New Donk City, a sprawling metropolis, Mario's short, squat body looks noticeably out of place, enough to make me turn to the presenters at Nintendo's E3 booth and ask a weird question: Is Mario even human? The spokesperson on hand said the company's official line for that particular query was to say that he was a native son of the Mushroom Kingdom." This is something backed up by Yoshi's New Island showing Mario and Luigi's parents live in the Mushroom Kingdom. Made further evident by them living there in Partner's In Time, and the Wooly and Crafted World games being the result of a Baby Mario, Luigi, and Peach playing in a Kindergarten.

The second thing is the city where the events of Donkey Kong took place is established to be on the same planet. Donkey Kong 94 shows this and Miyamoto also talks about it in the developer interview from Shmuplations. Miyamoto: "Right. We came up with a lot of ideas, and ultimately decided that it'd be nice if Donkey Kong got his own castle, too (laughs). The story of the original game plays out over and over ― Donkey Kong running away, the player chasing after them, running, chasing ― culminating in Donkey Kong's stomping grounds." + "The Mushroom Kingdom looks to be on the outskirts of Donkey Kong's homeland, as seen in the game's ending…" Made further evident by the Kong easily getting there in Donkey Kong Land even more evident by the manual. "Travel by Zeppelin to Donkey Kong's favorite stomping ground, Big City. The sight of that familiar skyline might bring back fond memories, but don't waste your time sightseeing when there are Kremlings around!" Also, while not canon the OVA already had the idea of Mario and Luigi being from the same planet that has the Mushroom Kingdom on it, as referring to them coming from a Kingdom from the East. While one could argue that is might have been intended to still be New York back then, it cannot be argued that is the case now.

This is because this city was renamed to New Donk City and is intended to be the one from DKA. In a 4Gamer interview titled What was the intention behind the various changes made to "Super Mario Odyssey"? We asked producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. In this interview Koizumi reveals this is the city from that one game. "We created the visuals for New Donk City with a city as the theme, and then we thought, 'Oh, come to think of it, we had a game set in a city a long time ago. Mario was in it, wasn't he?' So Pauline's name popped up like a word association game. At first, we had the idea of ​​making her the princess of New Donk City, but we thought that there wouldn't be a princess in that city's world, so we made her the mayor." This also further reveal that Pauline is indeed Lady from DKA. Speaking of Pauline, when answering her questions in SMO she mentions having been captured by an ape one time. Since there has been several kidnappings this would imply she's referring to the first and original one which took place in DKA. The one she calls traumatic and a terrible day. She also askes how well she's doing as a Mayor, that alongside some details about the city being under construction, reference to the city's origins, and coins with her face on it implied this city is pretty young and she hasn't been mayor since the city began. There is also the thing with the Classic Outfit. The final evidence for New Donk City being the city from DKA is the following. The City has the same steel gutters from DKA, alongside iconography of the original game. Something page 358 of The Art Of Super Mario Odyssey actually calls attention to. "Many of the stylistic elements in New Donk City come from this game. The billboards and red steel girders are obvious, but the taxi license plates that read '1981-ND' come from the year of this game's release" But the nail in the coffin is the festival season which is mentioned in the brochure, in particular the one you participate in, in SMO. As a New Donker says in this festival, "this festival tells the story of our city's beginnings." A detail even the Art Book calls attention to on page 358 of course. "This rivalry is re-created during the festival!" Pauline also does the movements she made in the arcade game during this festival. This festival has the theme and imagery not of Donkey Kong 94 or anything else, but specifically DKA which would be in reference to that terrible day Pauline referred to. This confirms the events of DKA took place in this city and not in real world New York City.

Not a single piece of in game information, nor does any manual, or even Odyssey interview state that the New Donker came from real world New York City. Even if Miyamoto came out now and said DKA takes place in New York, it would be wrong because the current story of the games contradicts this. It's best to treat New Donk City like Gotham, more than likely originally intended to be New York. But eventually made into a fictional city once given a proper name, and now only takes heavy inspiration from the real world place.
