Rebloging​ On Main Since This Is Important.

Ok, so what if King Olly​ from Paper Mario The Origami​ King​ got a redemption arc? Here's my version of it, along with a story-important crossover with the Kirby series, because yes.

Info under the cut!

After the events of pmtok,​ Olly ends up in Another Dimension (Specifically the part of it where Magolor found himself in during Magolor Epilogue)​,​ with his magic capacity sliced in​ half, most​ of​ his abilities are also gone​ with the​ ones​ left​ not​ being very effective on enemies, and this place definitely isn't where Olly would want to be right now, since it's crawling with Sphere Doomers, Parallel​ Versions​ of Folded Soldiers and The Legion of Stationery​ (the Parallels are total opposites of their normal counterparts, and most of them are hostile towards Olly, except for Parallel Tape and Parallel Stapler.),​ so he has​ to​ restore​ his​ abilities​ by​ helping​ the​ friendlier individuals residing there, and for the final fight is against a shape-shifting abomination of many other people that he had helped along the way, just to mock and unnerve him, after half of the battle, it gives up, assimilating all of the nearby enemies into a giant abomination of all kinds of creatures folded or not, and when it's at the brink of desperation, it spits out all of the creatures it assimilated, and turns into a swirling mass of darkness, with abilities that are corrupted versions of Olly's own abilities, along with shields Olly must use specific attacks to break, once all the shields are broken and the core is vulnerable, Olly takes notice of the pattern on the floor and realizes it's a magic circle, so he activates it, which he refolds into a giant flash canon, which destroys the core in one fell swoop, Afterwards the shape-shifter bursts into lots of confetti, and a portal opens up, along with an orange butterfly seen flying into it, which Olly reflects his journey one last time, wipes a few tears, and goes into the portal. After getting into the portal, Olly ends up in Dreamland (Somehow, maybe it has to with that orange butterfly.) and meets Dalmo (My​ Kirby​ oc who ​is directly involved in the events of pmtok, since she helped Mario and Olivia out.), he spends some time in Dreamland until they can get another portal working to get Olly back home, after said portal is successfully working Olly decides to go back home, with Dalmo coming in with him, just in case he needs some help. After apologizing to everyone involved, and reuniting with Olivia and the Origami Craftsman, Olly and Olivia now live in a small cabin near the forest, it's not as big as it was but it's still their home after all, and the Origami Craftsman also visits the siblings fairly often And, how did Olly end up in Dreamland? Well, two factors, the portal and Morpho Knight (they're involved in this along with Queen Jaydes)​,​ giving Olly a chance to improve was Morpho's idea in the first place, and Jaydes helped out a little with other stuff.

@dark-mega : Periwinkle! What’s your biggest fear?

//I'm sorry for the confusion, but this should actually go to @askthedreamyversegang, it's my AU's askblog, so I can answer it in-character for you, please send it there instead, thank you.

Another oc I made, this time it’s an expansion of a canon character and some what au-ish, introducing Niru!

More info on them under the cut!

Niru’s lore: After everything happened, and getting stuck in whitespace for quite some time the guardian of Whitespace : Twinkle Popopo finds Zero longing for happiness, so gives him a chance to do so, giving him a new form similar to Kirby's species (Astral Puffballs) and Zero ends up on Popstar, crash landing in Whispy​ Woods, later found by Dalmo and Dark​ Matter​Swordsman​ (Nicknamed Kuro​ in this AU and he had positive character growth too.)​.

Also, Niru​ is currently trying to learn about stuff they never had the chance to, despite being considered an adult of their species, they're still child-like in a way, since they're learning about things and boy are they curious about almost everything they don't know about, their blank stare can accidentally unnerve someone too, so basically Niru is a blank slate at the moment with some leftover abilities and memories from their past as Zero/Zero2.

They're also quite expressive, since they would usually copy other's expressions to use at times, though after a bit of mimicking and adding a bit of their own personality in there, the results are quite nice.

They're quite a quick learner too, and mimics many aspects of many people who they hang out with a lot (ei. Dalmo's politeness and kindness, Ginger's forgiveness, Periwinkle's empathy and compassion, and many more traits, both positive and negative.) .

Personality: Niru later on develops their own personality, which is curious, chill and somewhat similar to Ginger, but can be childlike at times.

Fun facts:

Niru is the one of the few ocs by me who uses They/Them pronouns

They love playing in rain puddles whenever they get the chance.

Prone to nightmares despite the Fountain of Dreams being a thing.

Likes music boxes due to it being soothing in their opinion.

Hobbies include: Drawing, reading, playing outside and looking at the stars.

Their sensitive spot is their head, DO NOT HIT IT!

Here's an oc​ that is actually more like a Kirbysona, Honey Toast Waddle Dee!

More info about her under the cut!

Lore:

Honey Toast Dee used to be just a regular mouse cursor inside of a regular laptop when a portal opened up inside said laptop, sucking in all kinds of things, fortunately nothing was sucked in except for said mouse cursor, which after drifting inside of that portal for who knows how long, she gained sentience, a pair of eyes, and the dripping honey and vanilla ice cream grabbed from some random stuff she found in that portal.

Shortly after gaining sentience, the portal lead her to Dreamland, and got a super effective critical hit to wherever the head of a mouse cursor is and is now a Waddle Dee with light amnesia.

How is she found? Well, the group (Made up of Periwinkle, Ginger, Moss, Niru, Dalmo, Artist, Magician and Jester Dee, Kamoro, Mari, Wave 3+Marx, Gooey, Dark Matter Swordsman[Aka. Kuro for my AU all ocs exist in the aforementioned AU], and the DL4.) are having a picnic, and when it was time for Marko Polo, Mari ended up finding a critically injured Honey Toast Dee in a nearby bush, and off to the hospital she went.

Honey Toast Dee was in the hospital for weeks as she was knocked out, and when she finally woke up, she tried to make something to eat, only to fail miserably, afterwards Bandee, Periwinkle, Moss, Niru, Artist Dee, Magician Dee and Jester Dee came for a visit and boy did they not expect to see what she did.

Since she technically has honey as an accessory, and you know it spills all over the place, when the gang went to visit her, they literally saw honey spilled all over the place.

And after a few weeks, Honey Toast Dee finally came out of the hospital.

Fun facts:

She's overall very friendly, but when she's scared (Very hard to scare her.) , under attack, or extremely pissed off, she will in fact whack people with a frying pan.

To prevent people from ever trying to make a snack out of her hat, she spiked it with wormwood

She sometimes works at the Dreamland Express as a staff member there.

Her hobbies include drawing, reading, cooking (She carries around a frying pan to try and cook something outside, but it ended up being more like a trusty weapon for her, talk about weaponizing kitchen utensils.)

She is technically in the same category as Starstruck Dee (@starflungwaddledee)

Her name is a pun on my Anon nickname, Honey Toast Anon, while her true form is a pun on my username, looks like the figurative is now literal.

More info will be added later on!

Recent doodles (oc edition)

Lo and behold: Plush Elfilis

(P.S. This whole thing started when I realized my plush rabbit looks a lot like Fecto Elfilis, just look at the similarities. (I also nicked a random pen from my pencil case as a spear.)

*screams from utter joy*

Oh my goodness, my art is finally out for the world to see. Thank you, @starflungwaddledee, thank you!!!

Also, fun fact the artwork above was inspired by this as well

As appreciation how about stuff from the doodle bin for these two. Picture is under the cut.

TW: Eyes for the top left doodle

The "Deceptively cute" doodle​ shows Starstruck​ Dee​ and Periwinkle jumping up high, next to the previous doodle are both of their silhouettes featuring some sinister​ features​ (Periwinkle​ has​ eyes​on​ both the​ side of her face that's under her​ bandage​ and​ the​ small​ ring​ planet​ floating​ next​ to her, while Starstruck's directly taken from this).

The "Naptime​" doodle has Periwinkle and Starstruck​ Dee​ sleeping together.

The "Haywire bomb​" doodle shows Periwinkle and Starstruck Dee​ covered in burnt gunpowder from a haywire bomb, thankfully no one was injured, Periwinkle was slightly startled, while Starstruck was extremely startled, and is almost about to cry.

The "Funny joke​" doodle shows Starstruck Dee​ is making a joke in a cheerful mood while Periwinkle is listening and giggling at the joke Starstruck made.

The "Exciting story​" doodle shows Periwinkle reading a book to Starstruck as she listens excitedly.

The "Parallels​" doodle features Kirby and Bandee's faces, under those are Periwinkle's and Starstruck's, the text between them reads : Parallels . Alluding to the fact that Periwinkle and Starstruck's friendship was meant to be a parallel to Kirby and Bandee's friendship.

The "Late​ night​ research​" doodle shows a top view of Periwinkle and Starstruck doing some late night research on the Jamba Heart (as evident by the document with a picture of the Jamba Heart on it)​

The "Target​ practice​" doodle has multiple star shaped magic spears impaling a target, one completely missing the target, one hitting the target on the edge and the other hitting a bullseye on the center, Starstruck Dee is very happy and is jumping up and down while Periwinkle is rapidly clapping her hands and congratulating Starstruck Dee for hitting the target.

The "Flight in a basket" doodle shows Periwinkle​ with her wings out carrying Starstruck Dee in a basket Starstruck Dee and Periwinkle​ both look very happy.

The "We're surrounded!" doodle shows Periwinkle and Starstruck Dee back to back, Periwinkle is in front of the viewer holding a bomb in one hand and casting a magic circle in the other, while Starstruck is at the back of Periwinkle, holding her star shaped magic spear like how a fencer would hold their sword, though not pictured, they're surrounded by multiple enemies, they're both determined to get out of the swarm of enemies surrounding them alive. Above this doodle is a full picture of Periwinkle's magic circle, it's a small circle with four four-pointed stars on the circle.

Starstruck Dee​ is created by: @starflungwaddledee

Periwinkle is created by: @shibuyatoastedcursor (Aka. me)

Hi! I made this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yK2_xAr18Pud9dINC4oXJjfIQ24DvcLnlHIOcI0mqlw/edit?usp=drivesdk

for the (now dead I guess) shipaganza, this is a platonic ship between Periwinkle and Starstruck, as for Periwinkle she has updated lore now, but more will be added later down the line.

thank you so much! i'm pulling the art out from the google doc (as discussed) so that others can see it!

above art and below caption by shibuyatoastercusor:

Periwinkle and Starstruck​ Waddle Dee​ (Star​struck Dee​ is in a basket looking fascinatingly at a small yellow star with multicolored particles while Periwinkle is carrying the basket Starstruck is in)​ on a flight together through the sea of stars (this is a platonic ship)​ Artwork inspiration: Peter Pan was right, to understand the meaning I recommend this site listed here: https://sonichits.com/video/Anson_Seabra/Peter_Pan_Was_Right

thank you for sending this in, what an impressive effort! this is so cute, i especially love their poses, starstruck's little feet and how happy they are looking at the stars together! periwinkle is doing so great carrying that basket, gotta be one of the nicest ways to travel!

her story is very sweet as well (if it's available, there is lore for periwinkle in the linked googledoc!) and the touches of her remembering her time as void are so melancholy! i think starstruck would be so utterly fascinated by periwinkles history and memory. that's quite a backstory!!

Here’s a new oc​ I've made inspired by (and losely based on) Fern from Adventure Time, Moss!

More info on her under the cut!

She’s actually the corrupted grass spirit of Ginger’s home possessing her sister, Rachel’s dead body (Moss is a corrupted grass imbued Dark Matter from an experiment gone wrong on the night of the tragedy that left Ginger as the last survivor.)

Eats fertilizer.

Fun facts:

Loves gardening outdoors.

Can spawn in any plants or fungi on a whim, can use it for offense, defense or anything else.

Has a grass katana that’s as sharp as the real deal.

Knows how to talk to wildlife, comes in handy pretty often.

Can go back and forth between her disguise and her partially revealed true form, prefers her disguise more, since it’s more approachable and less unnerving.

Ginger​ and Moss's dynamic is based on Finn and Fern's dynamic, minus the *cough cough* the Elements mini-series not even happening, and the Green Knight thing being replaced by Moss making a shady deal before the attempted murder, then suffering the consequences by getting sent to Another Dimension instead. *cough cough cough cough-* don't worry, both of them come around eventually.

Also, all that's left of Moss after Ginger's confrontation with her is her iconic sun hat (Y'know, the one with green ribbons and leaves, along with purple flowers, it later gets changed to lavender blue which is the same shade as nemophilas, which Ginger gave Moss, since the purple flowers shriveled up.), and while in Another Dimension, she doesn't have her sun hat, since it's with Ginger, so all she has is her teal bandana which is used to keep the grass on her out of her sun hat and to keep it clean, along with losing her abilities, revealing her true form as Dark Matter, so she has to escape the place to apologize to Ginger (She does in fact regret the murder attempt, since she was blinded by jealousy fuelled rage.).

The other flower on Moss's hat that's on a strand of sorts? That's actually a part of her, and is always going to be with her, even without the sun hat.

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.

for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.

so how can you help?

boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.

learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.

get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.

donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.

and finally…
