āØ Anything for him āØ
I decided to make this post to compile everything that has to do with my very first story, starting, obviously, with the links to the chapters that are available to read both on Tumblr and on AO3:
-Chapter 1: Luigi
-Chapter 2: Mario
-Chapter 3: Luigi
This story was written and published over a period of six months and it's the first one I've ever posted since I started being active on Tumblr late last year. The first chapter was shared on 20th December 2023, the second on 10th January 2024, and the third and last one, on 16th June 2024.
It's a fanfic based on Luigi's Mansion and it has become my most popular and liked story, which I'm obviously so grateful for! It even got art made for it, which you can see in two different posts:
-Click here to see the art made by @bberetd, @itsavee4117 and @pepperycar āØ
-Click here to see the art made by @megamagimugi āØ
I honestly didn't expect whatsoever this story would become so popular and loved to the point of getting so many wonderful pieces made for it. I cannot thank you all enough for your support, likes, kudos, comments, reblogs, and obviously, the art! I deeply appreciate everything you've done for me and this story š
And of course, I'm very thankful as well that you managed to save the original posts I made here on Tumblr back in the day. @itsavee4117 @vulpixfairy1985 and @stripetkattelalala54-gf: thank you so much for finding them, and I sincerely hope you don't mind that I decided to redo them in order for the three chapters to be properly available to read on Tumblr as well, since for the two first, I went and added them after your original reblogs. I'm so sorry, but I obviously appreciate your help š«
As a way of saying thank you, I decided to compile here all the reblogs the original posts got when I shared them on my old blog. It's just my way of showing how deeply and truly I appreciate and validate your support š
-@vulpixfairy1985's reblog of the first chapter.
-@itsavee4117's reblog of the second chapter.
-@vulpixfairy1985's reblog of the second chapter.
-@vulpixfairy1985's reblog of the third chapter.
-@bberetd's reblog of the third chapter.
-@alex-procrastinates's reblog of the third chapter.
-@peaches2217's reblog of the third chapter.
-@itsavee4117's reblog of the third chapter.
-@stripetkattelalala54-gf's reblog of the third chapter.
-@pepperycar's reblog of the third chapter.
@kayla-renea @wogwoman @hyperfixatingonbowuigisohard @mario-movie-brainbug @manaloff thank you so much for reblogging the original posts as well! I really hope you enjoyed this story and if you'd like to share your thoughts, I'd be happy to read them! š„°
Thank you once again for all the love and support you've given this fic and for making it become the most popular of all my stories. It's even the favorite of many of you, and it truly makes my heart swell with so much warmth and love š

Saw an old picture of Cooch playing wordle with the sharks equipment manager and I have got to ask. Is he a word games guy. Was he pulled into it or do you think he instigated. Does he have a NYT games account.
There is no reason you should know but I feel like your augury will be closer than anyone else I can think of (or at least more fun)
WELL. He had a book club during the pandemic so canonically he can read and loves to share literacy. And Wordle is a good game not just because it works your brain but also bc you have a limited number of chances before you legally have to go to idiot jail, which for a man as chronically depressed as Cooch, it does feel like he would enjoy the challenge. I bet he has an NYT game account. I bet bro loves the honey comb one.
This is giving me a perfect excuse to talk about one of my favorite articles from Corey Masisak's tenure with the Sharks: the Sharkies' lil nerd ass bookclub. You may have read this already bc you've been in these trenches but here are my favorite excerpts. There's a lot of Reimer in the article and while I don't care for the man or his politics, he does have some fascinating insight into why the Sharks are cringe nerds (so much travel time)
He likes to share books with guys on the team!! He's the team librarian!! Drop your book talk Cooch I wanna see something. It actually tracks because every librarian I've ever worked with was deeply and chronically mentally ill. This is why we need more mundane workplace aus that aren't coffeeshop aus.
in my sexiest imagine, Logan is an extremo depressed burnt out librarian and Thomas Bordeleau is the guy who has to do community service due to getting arrested for idk stealing a doctor's prescription pad and starting a black market estrogen prescription economy. And now he has to just, teach Bordy how to read so Bordy can pull holds. And its not making Logan less depressed.
Logan Couture š¤ Bryce Harper: reading pulp novels so they can get away from the horrors of being an athlete. Wait let me cook. What if I was an athlete who read copaganda novels and you were an athlete who read hockey romance novels...and we never even met
The thing about John Grisham, Jimmy Pat, and Lee Child is that the people who checked out those books the most ofte at my library were like 80 year old women, who would read approximately 7-10 books a week. From this we can conclude Cooch is an old woman. Do you think he does the kinds of fiber arts crafts you have to learn from a book and not a Tiktok
This excerpt isn't about Cooch but I feel its critical knowledge: Pickles hasn't read a book in at least 3-4 years
The real bomb we're throwing here is if Pickles doesn't read books but does do the NYT crossword puzzle every day and has a streak. I mean maybe he's doing like, my first crossword puzzle for kids, but EYE like thinking about him seriously working on the Sunday crossword for an entire flight. I would say he completes it perfectly but he made fun of Nick Bonino's ereader and made Nick got mad as hell and EXPOSED him
Words are still words you're SO right king. It's not about the format or the length or the type of book you read. It's about reading . Because to read, to use your words, to engage in the action of imagination, education, storytelling and build, is to live. And I include nonfiction in that. And also audiobooks.
Also thank you for your kind words about my augury, that really made me smile ššš¦š¦
#which is why i didn't finish one single book this year LMAO wasn't living!#i rarely make specific new years resolutions but my goal next year is to finish one book per month#i can't let logan couture down....he's here to promote literacy i gotta remain literate...for him....#cage replies#fossore#san jose sharks

@amalthea9 You will be always special to me as the first virtual and overseas friend I ever made, I dream of someday hugging you
@professorlehnsherr-almashy So shy and reserved, yet earning for connection, you and I are kindred in how we navigate our daily journeys as neurodiverse youths
@thealmightyemprex You are a leader in the sense of forming an inclusive community where we are encouraged to be ourselves without fearing any kind of judgement, I marvel at your curiosity, creativity, patience and attention to our feelings
@princesssarisa One of the first people I saw sharing my fascination with folktales and their variations and who shares my dreams of writing, your sensitivity is to be commended during a period where irony seemed to be the only way to engage with culture
@thevampiricnihal I will be always thankfull for your passion, and opening my worldview to works of art I hadn't imagine would ever hear about, like Ask I Memnu
@the-blue-fairie Thank you for helping me see how blurred the lines can be between Pop Culture, Politics and Arthouse Experimentation, and how any work of art, independently of how old or from what country they're from, should be accesible to be enjoyed by everybody
@themousefromfantasyland Both a citizen of the world, yet very much formed by the same experiences as me of being a millenial brazilian, I love your passion for fantasy and fairy tales and also dream of someday meeting and hugging you
Let's start a Tumblr chain.
I have been feeling a little down these last few days, so let's spread a little bit of positivity and holiday cheer.
Tag your mutuals and tell what you most like about them. Let's exchange a little bit of compliments this Christmas.
@thealmightyemprex @ariel-seagull-wings @the-blue-fairie @tamisdava2 @princesssarisa @the-blue-fairie @mask131 @theancientvaleofsoulmaking

idk
ā¦ i havenāt been able to keep up with football lately, which has to do with being in a pacific time zone with the past few months (i have extra respect to pacific time zone ppl who can keep up with european football games.. ive just been really ā¦ sleepy recently, canāt stay up, i kinda blame it on my medication)
i am not as interested in drawing football fanart as i used to be.. i kind of hope i will be when i go back to england this december. i miss getting sunday roasts with my partner and our friends and watching arsenal games that only me and my wife are interested in. i miss being in the neighbourhood, and having random interactions with random people in north london, because in north london, arsenal is lifeblood, as in social currency (tottenham is too! spurs fans will screw with you! heh)
i miss football so much, and the pubs, friends and beer and roast dinners, match of the day at the end of the night/on the refuge of a sunday morning, seeing things that make me inspired to draw footy fanart. and i miss interacting with tumblr footy moots. and i feel isolated, alone. i miss home (iām from canada, but i really miss both canada and england).
#vie#i dont feel like myself and i want to feel like myself again#iāve had the worst night mare of my life two nights ago and i canāt stop thinking of it.#i feel so scared#i miss my mutuals i miss my friends#i love all of my followers#if you ever enjoyed my art thank you so much

Hi, I need more cowboy x punk stuff after the suggestive boots, I also kinda wanna see them slowly infect each other's style since they look like similar sizes
I'm never gonna pass up the chance to draw Noah wearing Martin's clothes ;)
#my art#artists on tumblr#digital art#illustration#digital drawing#original art#my ocs#original character#oc#Noah#You're right#They're pretty similar in size#Martin has about a head on Noah and he's a little wider so his shirts are a little big on him#which Noah takes full advantage of#Noah steals a shirt from him almost every time he's home#which Martin knows but never says anything about#Martin is a little more specific about his looks so i don't think he'd willingly wear anything of Noah's#Not that Noah would ever leave behind anything for him to keep#but this made me think about Martin prying a piece off an old chain or something Noah left laying around after replacing one on his bike#and sticking it either in the band of his hat or on his car keys#Thank you so much for the ask!!#I'm so glad people are enjoying the boys#i'm sorry i didn't have time to fit Martin in this one#but the punk and the cowboy are incredibly dear to my heart#so there will be plenty more where they came from <3

Happy 1st Anniversary RainCode!
āļø6š30š»
Thank you for bringing me so much joy šš
(and thank you for giving me the gift that is yuma kokohead)
I didnāt think Iād make art for it at first, but I figured this game has done so much for me, so Iāll give back by drawing the duo that started it all šš©· These two are such an iconic pair and I will draw them together as much as possible c: (tho Shinigami will be mostly in her ghost form if I do)
First time drawing human form Shinigami non-chibi, and I admit she was a little tricky with that outfit. But I think I did it decently enoughā¦ xD
little bonus for the kokogami enjoyers š
miss death god is too much woman for this little boy to handle~ š¤
i know he's an adult but can you honestly look at him without context and say this is a man??? he's just an eemey meemey little guy.
Personal Rambling below (because I love this game so much)
WARNING MINI ESSAY INCOMING (lmao)
Oh RainCode... Where do I even begin...
RainCode is a game that has changed my life along with likely many other peopleās lives. Although the premise of it is fairly straightforward, the characters and atmosphere make this game so much more. The successor to Danganropa is honestly its own unique story and structure, and tbh I think I love and enjoy it far more than Danganronpa. But this gameā¦is just so much more for me.
I truly never expected this game to be such an impact on my life, let alone become my next fixation.
So, for history, I was honestly in no real hurry to get the game on its release date last year, so I got it a day later. On July 1st, I played the game for the first time. And I didnāt think much of it at first. The only thing that was on my mind when I started this game, was that I was positive I was going to be treating the protagonist like Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigiriās son the whole time.
This was the first post I made about RainCode back on twitter in 2023.
Yeah... Kinda silly when I look at it now... XD But I do still beleive this headcanon.
When I started the game my 2016 fixation of Danganronpa came back a bit. As a previous DR lover, I did make comparisons here and there to all of the characters. Yuma was very much like Naegi with his shy and timid demeanor at first due to having amnesia, and it felt like dĆ©jĆ vu when playing through the start of the game. But then it happened. The moment that solidified Yuma as my next and now permanent target. When he got sick/dizzy on the train... God that moment still lives rent free in my head. (I know the cause of it was different/related to the first mystery/case, but as someone who enjoys any sort of sick whump moment, regardless of if its little crumbs or a whole-ass meal it still counted for me) I was still shy and hid in the shadows with my silly little niche back then, but I told myself. Yep, once I finish this game, Iām writing a sickfic for this game and heās the victim. (though what surprised me was that I wasnāt alone on that, 3 other people made sickfics with yuma before I did so that was a pleasant surprise xD)
As the game went on it shocked and impressed me in many different forms. I realized that this game isnāt the Danganronpa clone I thought it would be. Sure, it had a lot of similar elements and mirrored mini games like Hangmanās Gambit, Spot Selection, and of course the Conclusion Comic of the whole case, but the story the world and the mysteries were honestly different from the way DR structured them. And it pleased me when not many people from the main team had died. Most of the deaths were of side characters that had appeared in their respective chapters. Which honestly was a breath of fresh air for me, and I think thatās the real reason itās separate from DR. Itās not as cruel and not as stressful. Itās a lot more chill, but the mysteries were still enough to get me excited and look forward to the next maze I would enter. The mystery labyrinths were probably my favorites elements of the game. They were just so much fun. And every single character was so likeable, (yes even some of the peacekeepers were fun aside of one or two that I absolutely despise. mostly yomi and guillame lol but I guess I kinda like yomi a bit more bc of the fandom)
And I grew to love Yuma EVEN more. He is honestly one of the best written protagonists Iāve seen in a long time. Itās hard to do timid protagonists right, but RainCode definitely nailed it with Yuma. He had his moments, but it wasnāt enough to be obnoxious. He also shined in more ways than one. And my god, so many relatable momentsā¦ (I have anxiety too xD) He was so charming and cute the whole time and even had his badass moments. This little guy is the whole package and I LOVE him for that. Truly a unique and fun main character that blows every DR protagonist out of the water.
(Yes, I said what I said.)
And the ending, GOOD LORD THE ENDING?? It was so well executed, and the ending twist villain was immediately my second favorite character after the protagonist. I could go on about how much I loved the ending but if I did, weād be here all day and I donāt want to spoil the entire gameā¦soā¦ Iāll leave it at that.
When I finished the game, I was so satisfied. (Yes I love it more than DR, what are you gonna do about it?) It left me super happy and made me want to make some fan content for it. Though I was still very quiet on twitter and had a feeling since twitter is a more complicated platform, I couldnāt gush about the game too much due to fear of spoiling other peopleā¦and when one of your favorite characters is just the whole secret of the gameās core mystery, I couldnāt talk about it too muchā¦ >.>
So, then I did the unthinkable. I went back to tumblrā¦ Itās a little embarrassing but this account is actually my old one I had from years ago. I was on tumblr more 2013 to 2017 before I abandoned the site when it no longer seemed fun and there were times that Iād rather forget... (letās just say that I used to RP with my OCs andā¦one of my RP ex friends catfished me and it made me feel VERY uncomfortable. I wanted to forget it, so I ran away and never returned.) I was super nervous to come back and try to post again, so my first RC related post was about him being a naegiri child.
After that I began making more edits once I gained access to the sprites and full body arts. I made some PokĆ©mon AU edits because those were always fun, and then I started making feverish edits of Yumaās sprites. My first post ended up becoming a hit and I caught the attention of some people. They liked what I was doing so it gave me a bit of confidence to continue. I got even more attention, and it made my confidence go up even more.
And then I started trying to draw art again, something I gave up long ago. My first few arts were a little rocky at best, but so many people enjoyed it! One of my older arts ended up becoming pretty popular. Through this my few pieces of art, my many sprite edits, and my first fan fiction (Home Is Where The Heart Is) got me pretty well recognized in the Rain code community on here. So much so that I felt confident enough to give myself a title. The CEO of RainCode Whump or āWhumpcodeā and all of this confidence made me decide to turn my blog into a fandom and sick whump blog. It became a full blown obsession that possessed my mind that I've become TOO passionate about. Never thought making these little guys suffer would bring me this much joy... XD
Over time, Iāve drawn more art and written more fics than I ever had for a fandom. Before I never ever made fandom art, and I would usually only write one sickfic per fixation. (my last ones being demon slayer and spy x family) But here I am, making more art pieces than I ever have before (hell even doing a MONTH ART CHALLENGE) and improving even! And having 7 fanfictions of RainCode, 6 with Yuma and one with Makoto. And those two became my prime targets and muses for my art. Drawing them is easier for me and theyāre my favorites so it brings me such joy to draw them. I love MakoYuma so much. Maybe not so much romantically, but friendship and familial. They have such potential to be so much, and I adore them. Plus putting them in sicknarios and situations is fun (I think we can all agree on that haha)
I think Iām talking too much, so I will say one more thing. I never thought my fixation on this game would last this long. I was positive it would go away after just a few months at best. The game is great but nothing amazing to keep thinking about for too long for me. But I think the main reason I was able to keep my fixation on this game for almost a year (and ongoing) is because of the fandom. (specifically, the Tumblr fandom, but some people on twitter are cool too) Iām honestly so happy I returned to tumblr and was able to make a name for myself in this community. I have met so many talented artists and creators and even made some new friends (and even got a few apprentices to take under my wing) If it werenāt for everyoneās support, I donāt think I would have ever done this much and made it this far.
Iāve essentially made a platform for myself, and I didnāt think tumblr would be a place Iād check daily ever again. To think this silly little gameā¦would change my life so much and make me happier than Iāve ever been in such a long time. I feel recognized and like I belong, Iām finally able to be loud and proud about my passions for sick whump and not worry too much about it, Iāve finally found my prime target and I have fun with him every time, Iāve gotten back into the arts of drawing and writing again and I think Iāve made some of my best work yet, and Iāve met so many wonderful people and even collaborated with them on some fun projects too! (Here's the most popular one and also the first one I did!) Ā Itās just beenā¦so wonderfulā¦ I am so happy to be part of such a chill talented and fantastic community TwT So thank you everyoneā¦ this is all thanks to your supportā¦ <3
Sorry Iām getting a little mushy here arenāt Iā¦ xāD I just couldnāt be more grateful for this game if I triedā¦ So, thank you so much Rain Code, for existing and doing so much for me and making me so happyā¦ I have never had this much fun in a fixation before, and I never felt like I was ever truly part of any fandom and was always just a lurker. It feels so good to finally feel like part of a fandom you love, and also be well liked, admired and accepted by others despite your niche being a little on the odd sideā¦ XD
I really hope there will be a sequel for this game, and weāll see all these wonderful characters again. After all Iāve been through with this title and how much joy and purpose it brought me, consider me a fan for life. I will be dedicated to every future title in this series and play the hell out of it. And I hope it gains a wider audience come October when it is released for more consoles. (Just hoping no weirdos take over and ruin it with stupid drama and horrible things like the DR fandomā¦)
Though once new fans come in and are also tumblr usersā¦I wonder what theyād even think of me and my place and takes when it comes to this seriesā¦ XD (hopefully theyāll be nice to meā¦ XD)
Anyway, Iāve said enough.
Happy Anniversary RainCode!!

Hey!! So turns out a video I made between a certain āwell beloved but highly sensitive/emotionally reactive T.Vā and an āorange haired inkling-turned-humanā has managed to sweep my YouTube channel and accumulate 100k VIEWS!! THATāS A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY?? My most widely viewed video EVER to exist in this moment in time?? AAAAA?? Not even mentioning the various comments and staggering increase in subs! Itās so much more then what I expected or even prepared forāmight even be the most impactful thing to happen for me this year <3
ā¦aside from graduating high school + the social connections Iāve been fortunate to make lol
BUT THE POINT IS Iād been closely monitoring the YouTube growth through the entirety of October. Itās make me smile like a dork, gawk in astonishment, dance frantically in my room from the energy boosts, and grow courage to stop being so selective/self-conscious with what I wish to share with the world! Itās kept my ambitions going!
I needed to find some way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanksābecause I canāt NOT acknowledge this milestone jksjskp. Typically I try to avoid getting tunnel visioned focusing on the metrics/numbers. Mr. Puzzles had already demonstrated how much those things can mess with the minds of creatives. Caring too much about chasing views or placing your artistic value in attention seeking gets damaging. But at same timeā¦itās hard to deny the sense of pride the 100k achievement has filled me with. I understand that reaching 100k views doesnāt immediately make me any ābetterā or āworseā then I was before. Iām still just me! It only helps me feel seen by othersāand thatās all I really needed. To hear some nice words & receive reminders that my ideas are cared about. So thank you SMG4 fandom for that, seriously thank you.
Please accept this Mr. Puzzle drawing as a way of sharing the happiness around. Heās so entertaining. Love him for simply existing. So glad we can all collectively be super attached to him (and the rest of the SMG4 cast of course). Canāt wait to see more incredible artworks from the fandom :)
Just incase anyone is confused by my vague description over which āanimated videoā Iām referring to hereāhopefully this photo will help clarify lol. Itās this one!! Sorry about not outright stating the title at the start, I got carried away with writing!!
Iāve been in an odd place mentally when thinking about it. Wondering to myself if any of the attention is deserved considering itās not even fully colored and could be dismissed as ālow effortā content (despite taking several days making it). Itās easy to get into a trap of comparing yourself to others and questioning how much of the videos success is based on your skills, sheer algorithm luck, or only because you used popular characters and catered to a specific fandom. And then judging yourself by looking at other peoples videos. Iāve seen several artists post higher quality works then my own but it somehow gets less views. So why did mine succeed when others (who should have gotten just as much attention if not more) didnāt? Sometimes you feel like youāve unfairly robbed them of that chance to be seen. However Iāve realized that I canāt ever expect views to be consistentāand comparing is pointless. So why worry about it or feel inadequate? I mean itās pretty common for funny cat videos to go viral, so who am I to question the system lol. āPopularā YouTube videos can range from a passion project which took 7+ artistsā¦to a clip of Toad singing Chandelier or a nonsensical Vine sketch. Anything can happen when itās the internet! And just-so-happened my video was chosen. I should stay glad about that and get rid of all the overanalyzing. So thatās what Iāve chosen to do :)
#OKAY SO SO SO actually started doodling this once the video was around 98k this morning#it wasnāt even meant to be art specifically designed to celebrate the milestone at first#I just wanted to draw the funky fella who makes me laugh#but as you can see that changed up fast jksjksp#I was under the impression that my video wouldnāt reach near 100k until December UH?? WHAT HAPPENED MY PREDICTION THWARTED??#seems Iāve severally underestimated how long the traction would continue for geez wow uh#people sure do enjoy comedy gotta love āem laughs and giggles#I CANāT BELIEVE WE REACHED IT THO. THATāS INSANE TO MEāALL THE SUPPORT AND COMMENTS AND SUBS#thank you SMG4 fandom I wouldāve never fathomed the algorithm to carry it so far like this#you wanna know the real kicker?#things would have gone so differently for the channel if I didnāt wrestle with my anxiety & post there#because there was a point during that day where I fullheartedly figured it would cause me to loose subs#I was kinda terrified ngl#this goes to show that you should never hold yourself back from sharing different aspects of your interests#you donāt need to confine yourself to just one thing#or to strive only to make the most high quality videos ever (I put that pressure on myself a bit too much nowadays)#sometimes itās the simple ideas that manage to charm people#and those who see the effort will stick around to support you. You just need to trust yourself during the process and take that chance :)#EWWWW MUSHY GUSHY SENTIMENTALITY CLOGGING UP THE ATTENTION HERE#whatever happened to keeping the focus on āØthe starāØ who made it all possible to begin with huuuu??#show a bit more gratitude to the charming TV who boosted the viewership in the first placeā¦donāt be so self absorbed with morals lonesome š#what is this some sort of My Little Pony episode oh pleaseeeeee š#<- all of that was a simulation of Puzzles interjecting and nagging a bit lol. Iād imagine heās tried of my nonstop nonsense#ā¦.yea the Puzzle brainrot is reaching maximum severities. So thereās high chance Iāll be animating him more down the line :3#stick around to find out!!#hplonesome art
