I love your Bowser design so much, he looks like a demon that came straight up from anyone's worst nightmares! Poor Luigi, though 🥺
The Bowser from the movie also had his scary moments too (I loved his eyes looked like they were glowing with rage during the final fight), especially when he delivered the "Let's see how tough this 'Mario' is when he watches me KILL his brother!" line. I wish he had done something about it, tho. He could've used Luigi against Mario at some point (Oh! Sweet angst!)
Considering that this is exactly what I was aiming for, I'm very glad to know it had the desired effect! 😄🙌
My favorite scenes with Bowser, unsurprisingly, were precisely the ones where he carried himself like a legitimate threat and let more of his malevolence show. The ones that made me tense up in my seat and go "Oh no..! 👀". And I do wish the movie had leaned a bit more into that vibe as well tbh- especially with that statement of his!
In my opinion, very few narrative devices deliver more powerfully or efficiently in the angst department than a dark promise left alone (and nearly forgotten) for a bit, only to abruptly blow up in everyone's face later.
And in that case, the possibilities would have been wild. 😱😭💔

I've found that, when interacting with others (or myself), it's useful to consider the lessons I'd want to teach a growing child.
If a child makes a mistake, I wouldn't want them to feel shame. I wouldn't yell at them, humiliate them, or in any way indicate to them that their mistake is a reflection of their worth or of who they are as a person.
Instead, I'd want them to associate the process with love and joy. If they say something that hurts someone's feelings, or otherwise ostracizes someone in some way, I'd compassionately explain to them. Ideally, they'd walk away knowing why they said / did it in the first place, how to handle similar situations in the future, and would accept the consequences (e.g. if a friend no longer wanted to hang out with them).
While the consequences may sometimes be painful, I'd do my best to instill in them that mistakes are human and natural, and that the process of learning from these mistakes is an opportunity to improve connections with others and express love.
I have a tendency towards excessive guilt. Memories in which I've said / done something ignorant or hurtful are infused with this guilt and shame- but ideally, I'd feel a sense of love and peace, and perhaps happiness, when looking back on them. Because they were moments of growth, moments I learned how to be more compassionate (even if the actual learning came years later).
So I'll put this out into the void:
When you make a mistake, that is not a reflection of you as a person. It is a moment in time, a moment which was informed by your past experiences. Humans are not static labels, or monsters in an RPG game. We are social creatures who live and learn and react and grow and experience and love. Be gentle with yourself and move forward knowing you're doing so in accordance with your values.

*clutches onto your leg like an anon starved in the desert* Oh, you. YOU THERE. Yes, you UNDERSTAND. The minute I saw your Johto art and the Clair fireworks, oh it was so over for me. It's about the stupid Johto FOUND FAMILY you GET IT. Stupid Dad Lance and his co-workers who are totally his friends and he will go all Silly Dragon Cape Man to defend them and they will tease him relentlessly for being a workaholic and getting grey hairs from all the wayward kids he keeps picking up but show their care in their own way. And sometimes by not posting pics of Lance feuding with the League Fax Machine onto the Chatot App but it is everywhere in the GC. They are all friends to me, YOU GET IT. Even the Gym Leaders they are so silly, Johto the land of bonding with people and pokemon in a place of folklore and forestry REAL. You draw sm Will and Karen I love them sm you're doing SO GOOD with the art and the silly Dad Lance and Silver crumbs too also your Clair art is GORGEOUS I literally gasped, its such a good use of the space on the art square, the colors and composition are gorgeous uwahhhh. it is so cool and complete and comprehensive and brain go brrrr with the happy chemical n FIREWORKS. I wish I had a credit card I could commission an art request from you or smth would literally throw $100 at you casually OP, freaking saluTATIONS I feel 25% less coocoo in the pkmn fandom not being alone in every take. hooray. yipee.
H. HI. THANK YOU. Im so glad so many other people see the johto e4 friends/found family dynamic were all in this together
