Warnings: just a bit sad, not beta read

Summary: After Dimentio ended Count Bleck's game, he teleported him and Tippi to Dimension D. in this pocket dimension, the Pixl meets Mimi and O'Chunks, who are determined to help.

“NO!” Tippi screamed as she and Count Bleck's lifeless body were teleported to Dimension D. “Count…?” O’Chunks ran towards the two, Mimi quickly followed. “O’Chunks? Mimi? What… what are you doing here?” Tippi flew lower, her hope draining. “Dimentio transferred us here after we found Nassy.. she was… dead…” Mimi sniffled. Chunks pat her on the back. “That's… awful….” Timpani whispered, sinking lower. “What happened to the Count?” Chunks asked, crouching down to get a better look at him. “Dimentio.. he ended his game…” Tippi finally landed on the ground. It hurt to admit it out loud, admitting Blumiere was gone. She lost the person she loved. O’Chunks’ eyes widened, “not on my watch” he grabbed Bleck and checked his pulse, “it's weak, but still there, we could get him back. We have to.” He sounded desperate, like he was trying to convince himself it was possible. “How…?” Tippi muttered. “He needs a mushroom, do you have a mushroom? Or any sort of power-up?” Mimi turned to the butterfly. “I… uh…” Tippi thought for a moment, “I do, yeah, it's Mario's but… he wouldn't mind.” She threw out a Shroom Shake. Mimi quickly grabbed it and handed it to O’Chunks, who was visibly sweating. After a few seconds, Mimi checked the Count's pulse again. A wide smile spread on her face. “It worked!” She cheered. O’Chunks let out a long relieved sigh, wiping the glimmering sweat from his face. Timpani rose into the air again, “r-really?! H-How did you-” “Chunks isn't as dumb as he looks or acts, and I was originally created as a nurse robot!” Mimi smiled, taking a few steps away from the Count. “Mimi taught me how to do this, she’s a smart gal.” Chunks smiled and got up, also letting the Count have more space. Timpani got closer, now flying in between Mimi and O'Chunks, waiting for Bleck to wake up. She was finally gaining back her hope. “Mmm… ugh…” Count Bleck’s eyes slowly opened as he rubbed his face. “Blumiere!” Tippi cheered, circling in the air, getting closer. “T-Timpani…? What… what happened?” he asked, pushing himself to sit up. “Dimentio nearly ended your game! I thought I lost you again…” the sadness in her voice was so loud. “Dimentio… why would he…” suddenly, Count Bleck straightened his back, realizing where they were. “What did he do..? No… this is wrong… this is bad..” he whispered. “Count, calm down, the heroes are there to clobber him, you’re still not fully healed, you gotta stay calm.” O’Chunks took a step closer, visibly worried for Bleck. “O’Chunks… Mimi…? What are you two doing here…? Did he hurt you?” Bleck was still a bit disoriented. “No, we’re okay. I promise.” Mimi assured him. “Where’s Nastasia?” Bleck straightened his vest. Mimi and O’Chunks looked down at their feet, knowing they failed to save her, that they arrived too late. “No…” Bleck whispered, understanding perfectly. “What do we do now…?” Tippi asked, landing in Bleck’s gloved hands. “Timpani…” Count Bleck looked down at the Pixl in his hands, realizing this is what’s left of his lover. “You’re alive…” he whispered, slowly processing everything. “So are you… We’re both alive… Together…” she relaxed her butterfly body, finally comfortable. “I’m glad you found each other, Count, you clearly care a lot about each other” Mimi placed her hands on her heart, smiling softly. “You two are perfect for each other, it's obvious.” O’Chunks teared up. “I may have not given you the attention you deserve before, but I am so endlessly grateful for both of you, and for Nastasia..” Count Bleck said with the realization that he never properly thanked his loyal minions, those that are still by his side despite the truth. The entire place flashes white. “What..?” Tippi rushes into the air again, trying to figure out what's going on. The white flash blinks again. “What's happening?!” O’Chunks grabbed onto Mimi, who was whimpering quietly. The entire place flashed white one last time. “How…?” Count Bleck’s eyes glittered from the light the pure hearts let out.

“The pure hearts? Mario used them, how are they here?” Tippi circled around them, making sure she’s seeing correctly. “Is that what Nassy said would destroy the chaos heart?” Mimi took a few steps closer, seeing the shiny hearts up close. “They're beautiful…” O’Chunks reached his hand to touch the closest one.

“I should bring those to Mario, it could help him defeat Dimentio.” Tippi collected the pure hearts. “Be careful, my Timpani.” Count Bleck tipped his hat. “I will, I promise I will.” Tippi’s wings were going up and down as fast as she could. Count Bleck teleported Tippi back to Castle Bleck, to defeat the traitor.

[hoshibait]

question in relation to blumiere/count bleck: how do you imagine he met the others? any specific headcanons or based off the game?

like many people, i imagine he met his team during his search for timpani.

i do love the theory that nastasia was saved as a bat stuck in a trap by blumiere. and later coming back to him and dedicating her devotion to him out of love and loyalty. reminds me of the first half of a japanese folktale i read back in middle school. crane's return of a favor i believe it’s called? i wouldn’t be surprised if that was intentional. except i guess it’s angsty for a different reason. that being unrequited love on nastasia’s end. also, weird parallel to blumi being saved by timpani and falling in love??? what is it with this game and someone almost fucking dying and falling in love with the person who saved them?

regardless, i believe he nursed her back to health and the two of them become close friends. hell i like the idea of blumiere considering nastasia a best friend.

as for o’chunks, i go along with the basic common agreed backstory that he used to be a general of an army from some faraway land. with one of his advisors sadly betraying him and thus causing the fall of his army to an enemy team. i do hc the fact that blumiere was a manipulate dickhead with o’chunks. i do find it disturbing that it’s implied that he preyed on his depression and helplessness to get him on the team. but hey honestly, it makes it more interesting, adds onto blumiere’ s character, and weirdly fits for him in my hc for him. you gotta remember all of bleck’s team is just a squad of mentally ill bozos relying on each other.

i sort of combine mimi’s theories altogether to make one backstory. i do remember someone proposing something interesting. isn’t it strange how francis built a “pixl” identical to tippi? that was basically a robot? she still has pixl qualities though. what if the witch mentioned in carson’s stories is related to francis in some way? i do believe the witch could’ve been experimenting making some sort of rogue pixl related to shape-shifting abilities. what about the robot part i mentioned though? maybe the witch was also into robotics??? look i’m trying my best here man.

regardless, i think mimi’s true origins is hard to fully decipher. i can imagine that even she doesn’t fully know or likes to talk about it due to horrible identity issues and lost sense of self. i’d like to think she ran away from her origin place, wherever that may be, with a dazed and disoriented mind. blumiere just happened to find her in a guarded off forest somewhere, and it just kind of took off from there. i wouldn’t say he preyed on her psychologically like he did with o’chunks, considering mimi just wanted a place to stay and have some sense of belonging somewhere.

oh, dimentio, i gotta actually talk about him on this blog now.

yeah this little shit just kinda came across the gang one day. i can imagine blumiere being like “erm okay what a creep” until he read in the dark prognosticus that there was a figure like him involved in the prophecy, so only until then was he let in. i like to imagine at some point dimentio put them in dimension D to show them what he could do, which just intrigued blumiere even more. (because seriously what exactly is dimension D and why does it deez /slap)

as for his origins, hoo boy.

so carson mentions how the magician that created the pixls had a family, right? and how he had a family and all? and they all succumbed to some sort of fate. except the son? i know it’s mildly implied that dimentio can be this mysterious character, or at the very least related to the magician SOMEHOW. i do find the obscurity of dimentio’s origins fun though. although i do agree that dimentio is somehow related to the pixls and the magician like many people do.

and we already know about mr.l in game, so i won’t talk about him

thanks for the ask! this was really fun to talk about!

Research: Aliens/Robots/UFOs

Alien Moodboard

Design:

Capoeira: The Capoeira are an alien duo from Bust a Groove who came to Earth to collect old metal signboards. Unlike the other dancers in the games, the Capoeira work together in their dances as they are named after an Afro-Brazilian martial art and game that heavily uses dance and music, with their theme music also being capoeira. The two aliens do have names: Kiki and Lala, like the Sanrio characters.

Novi Stars: Novi Stars were a 2012 fashion doll line made by MGA that had of the concept of alien girls with different gimmicks, such as clear legs filled with various things, from colourful liquids to plastic sweets, and light up features. While not popular in their initial run due to the popularity of Mattel’s Monster High line, Novi Stars are now loved by older doll collectors due to their unique designs and concepts.

Mars: Mars is a character from Lauren Faust’s portfolio project Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls (If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Faust also made My Little Pony Friendship is Magic). In Milky Way, the planets are personalised into teenage girls who roller skate across the galaxy, with a variety of styles and personalities for the team. In Mars’ case, she is the kookiest member of the Galaxy Girls as she’s an alien with a heavy passion for the arts who likes standing out.

Robot Moodboard

Design:

Mimi + O’Chunks: Mimi and O’Chunks are characters in Super Paper Mario who works alongside Count Bleck and his team to “Recreate the world in their vision” (I say in quotes because it’s a lie. And these two are the only ones who don’t know that until the climax.). These two are grouped together because they’re both robots; O’Chunks is a military robot while Mimi is a dysfunctional Pixl (Pixls are small robotic creatures who are created by Ancients and can embody the souls of people close to death so they can continue living). These two are extreme opposites, with Mimi being a self-serving and sassy fashionista who coordinates everything and can mimic other's appearances and O’Chunks being a short-circuited brute who’ll attack anyone the moment he finds out they’re a threat to Bleck’s plan (He’s also Scottish. This is import to mention.).

Wall.E + Eve: Speaking of opposites, Wall.E and Eve from the movie Wall.E are both great robots. While Wall.E is stuck on a destroyed Earth and was made to clean up trash, Eve was made to keep the last sapling to revive the Earth and is sent to Earth. The movie mostly focuses on their relationship and the life that humans currently live, and despite their lack of dialogue, their actions speak so clear. Also the contrast in their designs, especially in terms of shape usage, is really good.

Chibi-Robo: Chibi-Robo is the name of the character and 2005 Gamecube game. In the game, you play as a tiny robot named Chibi-robo and are tasked to help clean the house of your new owners, the Sanderson family, to gain happiness points and be the very best robot while also helping out sentient toys. Chibi-Robo's design, while extremely basic, is cute and sleek, with the plug on his back giving him a more unique appearance as well as being an important mechanic.

Spaceships Moodboard

Design:

UFO Houses: UFO houses, known officially as Futuro Pods, are small scale and round house with a colourful and alien-like exterior. Designed initially by Finnish Architect Matti Suuronen in the 1960’s, these houses were meant to be the future but were protested against due to their over the top look and due to having zoning issues. These houses are now treated as tourist attractions, and are well known for inspiring an abandoned war officer retreat in Taiwan called the Sanzhi UFO Houses.

Halberd: The Battleship Halberd is a large and dark spaceship that appears throughout the Kirby Franchise. The ship is operated and owned by Meta Knight, a renowned warrior within Dreamland, who uses it to trap Kirby in Meta Knight’s Revenge to get rid of Dreamland’s peaceful vibe and as a status symbol. The Halberd stands out so much even compared to other slightly more dark things in the franchise, but that's what makes it super unique.

Lot Starcutter: The Lor Starcutter is a spaceship (Literally) that appears in Kirby’s Return to Dreamland and is operated by the game’s twist antagonist, Magolor. The ship might not belong to Magolor however, as it might instead have belonged to some other Ancient within Halcandra, the world where Magolor is from and the possible birthplace of most Ancients.

Who have to pay off their debt

[notsocharmingmagician]

Team Bleck if they had to go a week without magic:

(Mostly my headcanons but it’s fine)

Nastasia wouldn’t be too phased, since she doesn’t use her hypnosis very often in day to day life. She’d probably spend the week without wearing her glasses and the other minions would be shocked that she actually has eyes.

O’Chunks doesn’t consciously use magic so he’d have no idea why he’s suddenly feeling super cold and a bit sluggish. He’d probably think he’s gotten sick for the first time in, like, ever, but Dimentio would be quick to point out the real problem. He’d overwork himself a lot at first in an attempt to prove to himself that he’s just fine, but he’d soon chill out a bit and hang around the other minions a lot since he’s got nothing else to do anymore.

Mimi would lose her mind because she can’t shapeshift into a new outfit every hour of the day. She’d also be a lot weaker physically and would keep losing energy until she gets her magic back. It would only take a few days for the organic parts of her body to get the message and go into a sort of hibernation mode. It’s sort of like when you try to shut down your computer but it refuses to shut down because there are still programs running. But then you close the programs and the computer shuts off. She’d wake up and be just fine once she gets her magic back and the Pixl parts of her body reboot.

Mr. L would only be minorly inconvenienced because he occasionally uses Thunderhand to power some of his smaller robots. Honestly it’s more of an issue for him when Dimentio is the one without magic, because Dim likes to hang around the workshop while L works, but without magic Dim would just be moping around the whole time and complaining.

Count Bleck takes a little bit to get used to doing things without magic since it’s been a few years. Since he doesn’t walk too much, he’s a little unstable on his legs, but he’s okay for the most part.

But Dimentio.... oh good grambi, Dimentio cannot function without magic. He uses magic for everything. And without it, he crashes like a child after an intense sugar rush. At first he’d be super pissed off to not have magic as a convenience, but his anger would very quickly turn into badly hidden panic as he realizes just how helpless he is.

Just like Bleck, Dim hasn’t actually used his legs in a while, but unlike the count, Dimentio doesn’t make his legs disappear when he’s not using them, which has allowed the muscles to atrophy a lot. It also doesn’t help that his diet is shit, so he’s got no muscles and no energy without magic to fuel him. Because of this, his condition would get worse and worse with time and unless he figures out how to take care of himself like a normal person instead of relying solely on magic, he’s gonna be in for a reeeeeal bad time.

Oh, and he’s gonna have to learn to ask for and accept help from his teammates, cuz this clown is not gonna make it down the fuckin stairs on his own. Nastasia has taken on the responsibility of making sure Dimentio gets enough to eat, cuz you know he’s not leaving his room in this sorry state. Nah, he’s got too much pride to be seen like that..... and he’d also fall down the stairs. O’Chunks essentially becomes Dimentio’s Uber driver and at first he is very annoyed about having to cart this gremlin around the castle, but once the initial annoyance wears off he can’t help but find it amusing how excited Dimentio gets just riding around on O’Chunks’s shoulders.

Yeah, after the grouchiness and anxiety wears off, Dimentio reveals his true nature: he’s super childish. Having such powerful magic is really the only thing that was boosting his big-ass ego, so now without it, he’s been taken down a peg.... or maybe a couple pegs. So once he gets it through his thick skull that he’s no better than anyone else and he actually needs their help to not fucking die, he drops his whole I’m-better-than-you persona and puts up a more pleasant front so the team won’t leave him to figure things out alone and probably die (they wouldn’t do that, but he doesn’t think they care that much about him sooooo).

Dimentio without magic.... well, is he really even the Dimentio the team knows at that point? They actually gets a little concerned that he’s gotten possessed because it’s just so out of character for him to be friendly and social without the usual undertone of an ulterior motive and the feeling that he’s talking down to everyone. He’s still a mischievous little shit of course. Now it’s just little pranks and jokes though, since anything more would require magic. Honestly he acts like a bit of a spoiled child because he will get his way no matter what anyone says. He’s a childish demon clown and no one can stop him.

And another thing to note: since Dim has been an asshole to everyone he’s met for like.... his whole existence, he is severely lacking in the hug department. So if anyone touches him, he will refuse to let them leave for at least a few minutes. Mr. L has to deal with this the most since Dim has nothing better to do than hang around the workshop all day. So L will just be fixing some wires on Brobot and suddenly there’s an annoying little clown clinging to him and watching him work. Or he’ll be looking at his tools and suddenly he’s just tackled by a giggling purple gremlin. Mr. L is very huffy about all this and he definitely doesn’t think it’s really cute no definitely not at all ahahahaha.

So yeah. TLDR: Everyone would be mostly fine. Nastasia would reveal her eyes. O’Chunks would become an Uber driver. Mimi would take an involuntary nap. Mr. L would get attacked with clown hugs. Bleck would work on his balance. And Dimentio would be a complete disaster! Thanks for coming to my TED talk!

Mario Odyssey: Paper Kingdom AU

Or: The AU where I adapt Paper Mario characters into a kingdom in Mario Odyssey because while my brain is small, it has a big mind that keeps thinking up new ideas. This tackles the kingdom’s backstory, it’s travel brochure, why Mario ends up going there, and the frankly ridiculous political context he stumbles into. I might tackle the characters in another post.

Backstory

A long time ago, a creature made out of shadows and thin as paper rose out of an island. Calling itself- or herself- the Shadow Queen, the malevolent spirit could wield the power of seven stars, and her heart was pitch-black and full of chaotic hatred. She reigned over the land with an iron fist, terrified painted shadows at her command.

Until one day, a small faction of her own people turned against, led by four heroes and eight mages. They studied her magic, and turned it against her, folding themselves like paper get close to her and stealing her stars to destroy her body, the eight mages using their magic to separate her heart from her spirit

Enraged, her spirit lashed out, cursing the four heroes into suffering the same fate as her, reduced to spirits enclosed in coffins just as she unleashed the full power of her heart. But before she could turn her wrath on the other rebels, the eight mages sacrificed themselves, turning their souls into pure energy and setting it on the Shadow Queen’s heart, ripping it out and sending both the heart and the soul of the Shadow Queen into a deep sleep.

The only thing left was a prophecy- a warning. If a cruel monster and a gentle maiden marry each other in a farce, the Chaos Heart will rise again. If this happens, the Shadow Queen’s rise is imminent, and she will take over the body of the maiden. The only way to stop her is to find her Seven Stars, and use them to destroy her soul once and for all.

The throne of the Paper Kingdom is left symbolically empty, and the country is ruled by a council.

Travel Brochure

Population: Sparse, but plentiful

Size: Wide

Locals: Shapeshifters

Currency: Paper fortune teller shaped

Industries: Construction, stories

Temperature: Average  73 °F

A craft for the ages

Multi-level: The Paper Kingdom is made of multiple levels carved within the plateau, and all of them have something to offer. From the charming beach town of Rogueport to the looming Castle of Chaos, this place is vibrant and full of carefully crafted layers.

Rich History: The Paper Kingdom’s history is something for the ages: A demon rising out of the earth, her own people standing up against her, a battle ending in tragedy, and a prophecy! And they know it too! Their own history is so rich and captivating, they transformed telling people about it into a spectacle. If you’re ever in the need of someone to give a grandiose speech, a Paper Kingdom storyteller is what you need!

Origami Festival: If you visit the Paper Kingdom during their fall season, you might bear witness to the Origami Festival! While considered unorthodox and dangerous, Shapeshifters recognize origami as an incredibly powerful type of magic, allowing one to become anything their heart wish. As such, they have festivities centered around this concept that lasts a week, where they put up tons of different and incredible origami displays celebrating the concept.

How it fits in the game

For it’s location, it would be a decently sized island between the Luncheon Kingdom and Snow Kingdom, and would be the last place you go to before Bowser’s castle. From above, it would look rectangular, and most of it would be very elevated (think of a plateau, but in the middle of the ocean.) While it would seem small at first glance, the truth is that most of the earth is hollowed out, and there’s a lot of communities that live underground. You would be able to visit the two surface ones (Rogueport at the base of the plateau, and Castle of Chaos (Equivalent to Castle Bleck) on top of it) from the start, and at least one additional area under Castle of Chaos would unlock after the main story.

As for it’s place in the story, a wedding needs an officiant, and Bowser decided to get a storyteller from the Paper Kingdom because they’re known to give quite touching speeches. Bowser was originally planning to make his announcement of his marriage to Peach, take someone by force if he got denied, and leave the kingdom in disarray as punishment for denying him.

So you can imagine his surprise when not one, but two storytellers volunteered to be his officiant: Dimentio, royal jester and local agent of chaos who’s starting to find the current situation in the Paper Kingdom boring because it’s stagnating (albeit because they want to stop the hostilities temporarily for the upcoming Origami Festival), and the Beldam, eldest of the shadow Sirens and actively trying to resurrect the Shadow Queen. 

Let’s be clear, here: Neither of them are really interested in Bowser’s marriage, but both are after the power of the Chaos Heart, which has the potential to arise from this union: Dimentio to create even more chaos, and Beldam to harness it’s power and bring the Queen back to life. He picked the storyteller who had actual experience with being an officiant: Dimentio, who officiated multiple noble weddings- and left a fuming Beldam behind. In her rage, she decided to make the King of Koopas not choosing her as an evil marriage officiant everyone else’s problem and promptly started freezing everything in sight.

And that’s where Mario and Cappy come in, looking for Power Moons...

-

What’s going on?

A few weeks before Bowser shows up, the wedding of Blumiere, the son of an important count, and his human girlfriend Timpani (I don’t know from where she could be, probably New Donk CIty), was happening. However, in part due to a sinister prophecy that foretold the rebirth of the Chaos Heart if a furious monster lord (Blumiere is not human, and he has quite the unstable temperament) and a fair and lovely maiden (Timpani is a bit shy, cares for everything around her, and is nothing but kind) got married, and in part due to being a racist fuck, Blumiere’s father tried to stop the marriage by lethally attacking the bride.

Big mistake.

Blumiere ended up flying into a rage, messily killing his father with his bare hands and the assistance of a surge of magic, and destroyed the wedding venue. He then took Timpani, who was dying, to the origami craftsman, who earned himself a reputation of defying nature’s law by creating Olly and Olivia for an Origami festival, which was. Not planned. He then more or less forced him to heal his bride. 

The craftsman was absolutely able to say no: Olly brought to life multiple office supplies and all of them are ready to attack on sight, but he still went and healed up Timpani, albeit altering her physical appearance permanently due to having to heal her up using Origami Magic. Olly does not take his father being threatened into helping someone well, and barges into Castle of Chaos two weeks later and self-proclaim himself king with the assistance of the office supplies, which he dubs his Legion of Stationery, because of a perceived disrespect toward his family.

He is twelve.

Blumiere- who renamed himself Count Bleck following his father’s death- is understandably outraged, and denounces Olly with the support of his companions. Said companions are: his wife lady Timpani whom he (and most of the kingdom) adores, a small bat-like woman and his spokesperson Nastasia, the strong but dimwitted warrior and champion O’Chunks, the robotic but emotional Mimi who works in banking, and local shit-bastard jester Dimentio. This is due to Bleck being a direct descendant of one of the eight mages that sacrificed themselves, and he’s forced to make a claim to the throne to be taken seriously in trying to stop Olly.

He does not want to take the throne.

So now, there’s a twelve years old and a pissed off count who murdered his father in a blind rage fighting over the throne of the Paper Kingdom, neither of them know what they’re going to do next, and no one is happy about this situation. The instability allows a third party to make an appearance and grab for the throne: The X-Nauts, a race of robotic aliens led by the tyrannical Sir Grodus. Their goal? Resurrect the Shadow Queen and use her power to remake the Paper Kingdom, and eventually the planet, in their image.

The good news is that neither Olly nor Bleck want the X-Nauts to succeed. Bleck because he knows they’re planning on resurrecting the Shadow Queen and he does not want that to happen, and Olly because Grodus’ second in command was mean to Olivia once. This means that they are able to put their difference aside, which means there’s still hope an all-out civil war can be avoided.

Speaking of Olivia, poor girl think her brother went evil and wants to reign over the Paper Kingdom like a tyrant. This is understandable, as he’s a irritable twelve years boy with six killing machine at his command and also starting his emo edge lord phase, and she’s a literal ray of sunshine. As such, Olivia decided to find other people willing to stop Olly, Bleck and Grodus from burning the country to the ground in their squabble, not realizing that, as the leader of this group, she is also making .a claim for the throne.

She is also twelve.

And now, there’s Beldam losing her shit over being turned down and freezing everything into unmoving sheets on the walls. Ironically, this common enemy might just be what’s needed to calm everyone down.

i don't know if you're familiar with avatar the last airbender, but if so, what bender do you think team black and mario's team would be?

oh, yeah, most of those are easy since my magic bullshit involves primary elements and junk. I haven’t seen ATLA in a looooong time let’s see if I remember any of these

Count Bleck: fire Nastasia: water (specifically i bet she’d be best at icebending) O’Chunks: earth Mimi: nonbender (robots don’t have bending rights 😔) Dimentio: air Mario: fire Peach: water Bowser: earth (hear me out: lavabending 👀) Luigi: fire (lightning)

tho I could also see Mario pass for air, too. Luigi is complicated because in the games we’ve seen him use fire and lightning and walk on water. maybe he’s just the fuckin avatar and that’s why he’s in the prognosticus, idk

[art-from-the-void-in-space]

I tough about O’chunks Frozen all morning and how cool it would be to give him robotic  O’chunks like arms so I went ham!!! the cool SPM Au is made by @year2000electronics  I only later read he didn't have powers but the arms took me an hour so I kept them my bad

[year2000electronics]

every day i think about ways to compare the spm minions power wise. o’chunks and dimentio have only ever been minibosses. mr. l and mimi were both bosses but mimi had a power boost when she was a boss, and mr. l has giant fucking robot. so technically theyre all minibosses. one just has a giant robot and is a big fat cheater.

100 Random Character Development Questions.

038. What bad habits do they have?

antagonizing o’chunks until he gets punched into next week !!!

mr l just. doesn’t take care of himself. he doesn’t sleep, he just passes out from exhaustion. he tends to rely on items to keep himself fresh for battle, and even though it technically works??? i think he should just take a break and actually go tf to bed.

bites his nails sometimes but he wears gloves so often that he doesnt rlly get a chance to

058. What is your character’s idea of a perfect day?

in general, he’d actually rlly like to sit outside in a garden or at the beach on a nice day, maybe with his team or other ppl he cares about, maybe alone. he has good food w him and there’s nothing that needs to get done, and he’s just. enjoying nature & pleasant weather.

(he would hate to actually experience this sort of thing for more than one day at a time, though. he gets bored really easily so while a break would be nice, he wouldn’t want it to drag on for too long).

more specifically, he just. he really wants to beat the heroes, just once. please. fhdjkdj they’re so annoying and it makes no sense for them to be able to beat him!! what more could it take to stop them than missiles and lasers and giant robots?? his perfect day would be beating them decisively and definitively, and for the count to tell him how well he’s done and that he really is the best minion bleck’s ever had. because of mr. l, the prophecy is completed smoothly, and everyone’s chilling in a bright new world and also they treat him with respect and maybe people cheer for him and everyone knows that they couldn’t have done it without the green thunder! :) good job, mr. l!

064. In what ways does your character annoy others?

in all ways dhfk h.. .. . .

he insults people often (both fellow minions and his enemies), he does that awful kind of flirting w peach, he can be either very loud & obnoxious or just completely ignore ppl and go off on his own, he’s very one-track w his work & his robots. in a thread w kitty, nastasia thought abt trying to make him less annoying & thought instead that it’d be a good punishment for the heroes, and she was right. mr. l is so.... Much.

ofc he’s not like this all the time, but. yeah. he can be annoying

*sees this* TIME FOR A RAMBLE

So, I’m just going to stick with the first game in the series so far, because there’s already a ton to unpack. Also because I’m going to talk about ghost society and that’ll take up some space.

The whole trouble starts when Nastasia disappears. Dimentio assumes it was O’Chunks, since it was outside of his and Nastasia’s house, and O’Chunks has a habit of kidnapping people anyway. So he gathers his courage, bursts into O’Chunks’ castle demanding to know where she went… and is met with an empty throne and panicking minions.

O’Chunks disappeared too.

His minions have managed to track a distress signal that serves as his last known location. The catch? It’s in a deep forest, one that is vastly unexplored, supposedly “cursed”, and kept in perpetual night. Everyone is too scared to look for him.

Dimentio is scared too, but he goes anyway.

There, he finds a kingdom of ghosts and Boos, struggling to fight against an advance force of robots powered by the suffering of trapped spirits. After helping fight them off, Dimentio gets an audience with the Prince of the kingdom.

Turns out, the Prince is a Boo named Rhoam, who knows Dimentio because of an act of kindness he and Nastasia performed when he visited their kingdom when they were young. Dimentio explains why he’s here, Rhoam agrees to help him look for Nastasia and O’Chunks if he helps rescue the trapped citizens, and the adventure of Dimentio’s Mansion begins.

Me and a friend worked out logistics

Dimlight (swap dim) would face off with Egadd in the swap universe’s version of Luigi’s mansion

Nastasia and Dims would team up with Antasma to stop Dreambert and O’chunks

Clearing up a bit of confusion before I respond

Swap Dimentio's name is still "Dimentio"

Dimlight is just his Mr. L name

As for the swap concepts

🤔

Hmm... sounds really interesting

I don't really plan on expanding past spm but I really like the Luigi's mansion concept
