Paper Mario characters (and Kamek), but with headcanon voices.
My friend and I like to assign voices to the characters and most of them have celebrity, Youtuber or show voices so I decided to draw them to the voices. I drew these characters for the first time and they came out pretty good!
I'll make a part two eventually because there's more voices and characters.
Idea: You know that one arena from the Yiga's sword tournament trap and Super Meme Fighterzzz? Well, it hasn't really gotten much use since (KS-2 tried doing a concert there once. apparently the acoustics aren't very good) and Peach isn't really sure what to do with it... at least until Jolene (from TTYD) shows up wanting to expand the Glitz Pit's business with a second fighting league (with a different name for branding reasons, of course. The Glitz Pit is kind of intrinsically tied to Glitzville, after all). Repurposing the existing arena would save a lot of time, money and bureaucratic bullshit on both their parts, o it just makes sense.
We as the audience find out about this because she visits Mario to tell him about it, partly because he's the one person in town she actually personally knows and partly because she has a proposal for him; seeing as he's both the third champion of the Glitz Pit and the Mushroom Kingdom's greatest hero, it seems thematically appropriate that the Great Gonzales be the Champion of this new league's starting lineup. It'll obviously be a few months before everything's set up so he doesn't really need to give an answer right then, though he does seem interested.
During that conversation she also catches him up on a few of the goings-on in Glitzville, with one very notable thing being that King K's shell got smashed during a match. It's technically repairable, but it'll never again have the structural integrity it once had, and that on top of the injuries he sustained in the process means he'll most likely have to retire for good this time. But he'll still be around in a different capacity. See, he's been in the Pit for a long time and knows the ins and outs of it better than any current fighter besides maybe Rawk Hawk. So, Jolene's offered him her current position as the Pit's manager, freeing her up to manage the new Mushroom Kingdom version while it's getting fully established. So she'll be sticking around for a while.
Also this scene happens at the Showgrounds, so SMG3 overhears them, realizes that if he sponsors a fighter he can get a bunch of fame and money while advertising his shop, and "borrows" some of 4's Leggys from the Meme Factory so he can whip them into fighting shape in time for whenever the signups are. Because SMG3. They also run into Toad who's been caught up in whatever chaos the kids are causing today, and there seems to be Some Kind of spark between him and Jolene during their brief encounter but nothing's going to come of that for a while.
Come one of Mario's visits to the Jungle Kingdom, Mario expects DK to come and start egging him on as usual, but he just finds the Jungle Prince just relaxing together with that DK fanboy Diddy Kong, saying he's not feeling up to doing that at the moment "after the Kremlings", not bothering to elaborate on who or what "the Kremlings" are.
If the Donkey Kong spin-off movie ever happens, it would be a good segway into Mario Movie 2.
Hey what if K Rool decided to team up with Bowser? Or better yet, the two start to fight over territory, and duke it out while another more dangerous threat is approaching...?
OK, I MISCOUNTED BUT CAN YOU BASTARDS REALLY BLAME ME??? SHE'S TOO BISEXUAL IT'S GETTING OUT OF MY HANDS. I DIDN'T EVEN INTEND FOR HALF OF THESE THEY JUST HAPPENED.
