I regret to announce that the ROB picture will be my last picture for a bit. I will be taking the rest of this summer vacation to enjoy what I have left. When school starts again, I will type up another journal announcing how often from that new point I will be submitting pictures.
I thank those who have viewed, favorited and commented on my drawings for doing so. I hope everyone has a nice last 9-11 days of summer vacation!

Mario Story Fruit Shake music status (LAST UPDATE)
It's been a while since I spoke about Mario Story: Fruit Shake, or anything in general. The reason is the music. It's taking me quite a while longer than expected to compose the auditorial accompaniment to the fantopic. As a result, this might be the only time I make such a large full soundtrack for a mere fantopic (with TOK Retold and its EX Story merely getting additions, replacements or displacements). More importantly, I'm making this journal as a hub of sorts to show my current progress on the music. That way, instead of a million little updates that cause fatigue, simply watching this journal and me updating it should suffice. Here's the music progress so far, as of March 14th, 2024... OPENING THEMES- 2/2 (COMPLETE) CHARACTER THEMES- 20/20 (COMPLETE) PROLOGUE AREA MUSIC- 1/1 (COMPLETE) HUB AREA MUSIC- 2/2 (COMPLETE) CHAPTER 1 AREA MUSIC- 8/8 (COMPLETE) CHAPTER 2 AREA MUSIC- 11/11 (COMPLETE) CHAPTER 3 AREA MUSIC- 6/6 (COMPLETE) CHAPTER 4 AREA MUSIC- 7/7 (COMPLETE) CHAPTER 5
Another kind of semi-serious follow up: motivation
This is kind of a follow-up to the "why I include past Paper Mario/Mario Story characters in my fantopics". This time, it involves something somewhat more serious- my motivation for doing these fantopics. Yesterday on discord, amidst other conversations, I noticed one person brought this up in context to another person's 3DS PM game rewrite video... "Most major paper mario rewrites, or rewrites of games in general are mediocre. Spite as a motivation can make it seem like whatever is being rewritten is automatically better, without room for reflection or editing from others" This is among other comments from others over the years that seem to think I did the recuts out of some nefarious purpose or bad reason, or in at least one extreme case, that I think literally everything in the modern games is bad. I was actually going to put this in the TTYD remake trailer journal or post this in discord proper, but the former was an opportunity to celebrate a classic game remake, while the
My Thoughts on Paper Mario TTYD Trailer + More
The unthinkably good happened today. Rather than being a fully filler Nintendo Direct like most autumn Directs are, among other cool projects, the presentation closed with a whammy of a reveal... PAPER MARIO THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR IS GETTING REMADE FOR SWITCH. Not emulated. Not ported. Remade. I couldn't believe it, but here it was. For this journal, I'll go over my observations of the trailer, what this game means for the official franchise, and how it'll affect my own projects (as it does change some stuff). THOUGHTS * All the character designs are kept exactly as is, as well as the battle system! This includes even the Toads, with at least female ones seen among them! I was afraid they were going to generify them or alter the battle system in some overly gimmicky way that merely “looks” smart while playing clumsily- but awesomely, it’s the same! I don’t know if someone on the dev team fought to retain the designs given what we know about the IP team, or if there was a contract
Mario movie second trailer thoughts
Like with the first trailer, I’ve decided to capture my thoughts into a single post reflecting on my thoughts regarding the Super Mario Bros movie’s second trailer. It was pretty good, and technically it was better than the first trailer. It’s just the reveal of that first trailer stands out more than the second. +Seth Rogen seems more genuine in the pre-trailer introductions. He seemed more honest in his history with Nintendo, and it was easy to tell his declaration of wanting to be in a Mario movie back when he was a kid had a positive, semi-jokey tone to it, unlike how Chris Pratt was trying a liiiiiiittle too hard to play it straight despite certain things being evident. Rogen also reveals with his dog’s name, Zelda, that he appreciates Nintendo as a whole, instead of trying to force the whole thing to be Mario-related. +Some VAs/voice actors already advertised, Charlie Day as Luigi and Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, are heard for the first time. Charlie Day sounds appropriate and
