Have any of my followers/mutuals played Princess Peach Showtime? How do you like it?
I wanted to play it at release but am trying to save money due to a lot of other expenses in my life lately. I'll get around to it eventually. With hardly being online, I really haven't been spoiled on anything.

As of writing this, I know you haven't seen the other update I sent you (or haven't had the time/energy to respond). But I have another one I want to show you. I'm very nervous about it, but I think it's going well. I also could have forgotten to send you the previous update, and if I did then I'm sorry.

It's him!!! It's so cool to be making an IRL craft, isn't it? I'm trying to get a lot more into it recently... it's nice to have something you can hold, something that doesn't just exist on a computer screen or flat piece of paper. It's a lot of work and sometimes materials can be expensive but the result is so much worth it :)
And yeah, I got both of the asks- I haven't been around much, but I'm glad the project is going well!!

i imagine in contrast to Phantom's love for peach, he would DESPISE Shadow Queen Peach
to explain it shortly:
He sees her as a poor adaptation of Peach's character; the showman in him is screaming, "Where is the nuance!"
Shadow Queen doesn't have complex motivations or methods; she wants global despair and destruction, nothing else and nothing more.
but to phantom its just so BORING!
Oh, absolutely. For all of TTYD's strengths, complexity in its main villains (Grodus/Shadow Queen) is not really one of them (while a lot of the characters who work underneath them, or chapter-specific villains, are far more interesting). I think Phantom would despise a one-note, "evil for evil's sake" antagonist; he would probably consider himself above even Cursa for this reason, not realizing that he himself could come across as simplistic, being fueled by jealousy and revenge. He is more complex than all of Mario's other foes, surely! (He insists.... don't tell him about Count Bleck)
On that note, I think Phantom would be a great defender of the complexity of Peach's character, ironically actually respecting her a lot more than many so-called fans who get upset when there's a different take on her, or she deviates from being a pretty pretty princess. If he indeed had a love and admiration for her from the moment he saw her- he himself contains multitudes, so why shouldn't she? Of course, some roles are better than others.

ive been thinking about a post that was made a lot recently.
i think it was you that said it, but i remember that it said if woodrow created a poem about his love for phantom, it would destroy the world. so, i was wondering… how would that be written out? /genq
Hello! Sorry for the late response; I haven't felt like writing much recently, nor being around here. I hope you still see this!
But yes, this is something that has been discussed a few times... I think this was the main/origin post for it.
I like to think of this as a possibility for the future, or an AU, not a certainty... as, of course, it would be very bleak to accept that a pairing which means so much to me would be destined to lead to such destruction. That said, it would be interesting to try and explore this event in more detail, but I think I'd have to be in a certain mood, and I'm not sure when I'll be there anytime soon.
A scenario I have thought up though, would generally go as follows. Anyone is free to use any of these ideas as a starting point; as I said, I have no plans to expound on them anytime soon.
Bwahstrella becomes aware that Phantom and Woodrow are dating and prophesizes the doooom that will come about if Woodrow ever composes what he considers his masterpiece.
She tries to warn Woodrow, who brushes her off and ignores her, because his love is more important and because she has done this "rabbid who cries wolf" situation with him many times before, so why should he believe it now?
Since Woodrow won't listen, she decides to spread the word directly to the people of Palette Prime, urging them to do anything to try and disrupt the relationship.
This leads to a rift in the people of the planet, with those who love and support Woodrow (led by Sweetlopek and Dryad) and think that Bwahstrella is a hack or exaggerating, vs. those people who have always resented, disliked or distrusted him- these are the kind of people who beat him up when he was younger, but were gradually shamed out of such actions after he became warden, now looking for an excuse to finally ruin his life again.
With the antagonistic faction becoming ever-more of a violent mob, ready to take desperate measures to ensure that the galaxy isn't destroyed, including possibly hurting Woodrow- he and Phantom are forced to go into hiding, with Sweets and Dryad helping them escape the planet unnoticed.
Somewhere in Phantom's ship in the depths of space, Woodrow grieves the fact that he can't go back to the planet he loves, nor even show his face publicly anywhere as the rumors that he is a ticking time bomb spread. Filled with resentment and sorrow, he wonders if a galaxy-ending poem is nothing to be afraid of, after all. Perhaps Bwahstrella's prophecy is true... perhaps it's something to be embraced... and perhaps the prophecy is self-fulfilling.

Psst
There's a Mar10 Day sale on Nintendo eShop rn for a bunch of Mario games. Sparks of Hope is currently $19.79 instead of $60!!
Whoops, I haven't been here in like a month... Sorry to have missed letting people know about this, but yeah, the game goes on sale a lot! So if anyone is interested, be sure to keep an eye out. Everyone who calls themselves a fan of Mario RPGs needs to play it, it's got the creative spark (no pun intended) of a Nintendo game at a fraction of the price :V

Thinking thoughts out loud again, but everything that's been going on with AI and the disrespect towards our entertainment industries and artists as individuals has actually had the exact opposite affect on me where i'm far more spiteful in wanting to make new artwork more then ever before. I'm so so angry and I think my brain wants to channel that anger into projects that I've been putting off for too long instead of letting an overwhelming feeling of apathy take over. If I can't stop assholes from scrapping or stealing mine or my friends shit then at the very least I can still make things that I know people who care about artists will appreciate and that's enough for me for now. I'll know it's not a cheap imitation trying to be something it's not. It's my own authentic work dammit and I'm gonna love making it and sharing it no matter what.

I didn't want to derail on OP, but I was actually thinking recently about if the Werewolf and Vampire AUs could be integrated (at least as a further AU-AU of each of them LMAO)
In my original considerations, Woodrow would contract lycanthropy from living in Spooky Trails, and it would be something he and Phantom would have to struggle with... but this is making me think... what if they both agreed upon it, and it was intentional and they devised a way for him to get the "curse", perhaps from a friendly werewolf associate of Tom's... so they could be creatures of the night and hunt together, without Woodrow having to become a vampire too. It also would make Woodrow more healthy and hardy and thus Phantom has to worry less about accidentally sucking him dry, lol.
Of course it would also lead to misadventures, I'm sure, as a werewolf is not in control of themselves. It would also be fun if Tom could (accidentally or puroposefully?) trigger Woodrow's lycanthropy at any time due to his association with the moon.

Doodle Medley :)
Some doodles I've got! I've been drawing a lot but I never share em on here! I've really gotten into Mario and Rabbids and I mostly cannot stop drawing the rabbids and the wardens (mostly Woodrow.)
Ive got a huge surplus of doodles so I hope you enjoy! I hope to draw a few of these bigger! If not, I'm pretty content on how they've turned out :)
Only two of these pictures are based off a tiktok! I am pretty certain you'll be able to tell which one hahaha.
Im adding a read more just because of how many doodles there are. But I hope you enjoy em as much as I do! C:

It's kinda funny, this music came on my playlist just now and it made me wonder if I had never changed my name on here, would people be calling me Floppy or Flopsy.... (does anyone remember welcome-to-flopside?) It's just as well, since as much as Super Paper Mario will always be one of my favorite games and it changed and saved my life, I don't really see myself in the fandom anymore... and Bramble is a name I've grown to love so much I've considered asking people in other communities to also call me that. It just seems silly because I don't have a problem with being known as Courtney or Alter either. But if I ever do cut this site out of my life entirely I will miss it, and I hope the friends I maintain from here keep calling me that.

sorry if this is a tad weird to suddenly come into your inbox with, but I wanna let you know how much your work has touched me and continues to inspire me. genuinely, I've picked up writing more again lately because of you - after reading OVAC, I suddenly had the inspiration to create through writing that I hadn't felt in years. I genuinely believe your writing is nothing short of professional quality, and I've said time and time again to friends that I believe OVAC belongs on bookstore shelves, it's THAT well done.
I'm really sorry you've been struggling so much lately. You're someone I really look up to and admire and it's been hard to see you in so much pain without really knowing what to say for comfort. there's not much I CAN say on these kinds of topics as I don't have answers myself - a lot of it is stuff I struggle with too. But ig I just wanted to tell you how much of an impact your work and sharing your own experiences has had on me even in only the course of several months. Genuinely, thank you for every bit of your creativity you generously share online, you're really an inspiration to me and many of my friends. That being said, I still hope you can keep your mental health a priority, especially regarding being online. You deserve to do whatever you need in order to keep yourself happy and healthy!!
anyways I know this is really out of the blue so I apologize,,, it's def stuff I've been wanting to tell you for a while haha. Just know you've impacted me and a lot of other people's lives for the better <:]
Thank you. This made me feel very happy, and I genuinely mean it when I say it's messages like these, no matter how occasional they may be, that ensure I keep making anything at all. Just as the love given to me by others is why I'm still alive.
I spent years not really considering myself much of a writer, but I've experienced a new confidence in myself over the past year. I hope someday I can do something with it that can reach a wider audience than very niche fanfics, but I'm eternally grateful for the people who have read my work because I know focusing mainly on ONE ship in one small fandom doesn't cast a very wide net, haha.
I feel like this chapter in my life is nearing its end regardless (writing fanfics? Being on tumblr even slightly?), not only for my own mental health, but as a principled stand against social media and the internet's ever-accelerating degradation into a dehumanization machine. But I'm glad I was able to inspire some people along the way. Truly. And I hope you can go on to do the same.
(Edit: PS it wasn't weird!!! I understand where that feeling comes from but I really appreciated the kind words!!)
