Hi! You know that first Goomba you see on World 1-1? That's me!! I've been working for Bowser and trying to get Mario for as long as I can remember (even though I don't really have a good memory)! Got any questions for me? ((Mun's account is adanteallegro!))
It sounds like the majority of you want to see the comic first over character sheets, so that’s what I’ll work on first! Right now I’m still working on the script, so I’m not sure how long it’ll take for me to get it out, and even then it’ll be comprised of sketches instead of full colors because there’s no way I can get it out anytime soon at that point. Still, I hope you guys like it in the end!
What I’ll probably do once I’m all done with it is divide it up into parts and put out a new part daily. That way, it’ll be in reasonable chunks and all that. So...yeah! I hope you look forward to it!))
((Oh wow I’m 25 now. This year my birthday seriously flew right up on me, I’m still kinda reeling over it. Now, uh...now that I’m 25, I guess I can rent a car now! So, if I really wanted to, I can drive to the airport, get on a flight to who knows where and rent a car upon my arrival and drive off into parts unknown right this instant.
...but I won’t, because I have work in like 20 minutes. I’ll probably just splurge on expensive food and play Splatfest all afternoon today, which is fine by me!
Other than that, to give this post a little bit more...on-topic with this ask blog, I’ve been flip flopping over which little series of posts I should work on and submit next. I’ve got an idea for a little short comic featuring 1-1 trying to make himself more well known. There’s a bit more to it than that, but that’s like, the one sentence summary.
The other idea I have was to make small character sheets of not only 1-1, but also his coworkers and all of his family, just because he has a LOT of siblings and it might be good to look back on them and see what each of them are like.
So...out of those two options, which one would you be most interested in seeing first?
Hey! Hey guys, guess what?? I’m a Goomba now, I’m a Blooper now!
That...that doesn’t really roll off the tongue as well, huh? Well, the more I say it, it’s bound to sound better! I wonder if the boss’ll be okay with us using these weapons at work everyday and not just during Splatoon Saturdays.
What, you’ve never heard of Splatoon Saturdays? It’s the day where everyone can dress up as an Inkling for work! Apparently it boosts morale, not like my morale needs boosting. Plus, I mean, this roller can squish Mario in no time...if he can just stop JUMPING OVER ME COME ON YOU STUPID PLUMBER.
((alright so thinking it over this is the only way to skirt the current issue so NEW BLOG~! same as the old just new location is all.
also, since the point of this is to avoid a certain follower I can’t really post this on the old blog so if yall could reblog and spread the word a bit I’d really appreciate it~))
Well hey there, guys! Long time no see, huh? Sorry, I didn’t mean to pull a Boo and disappear like that on you guys. I’ve been pretty busy and I kept on putting off giving any updates! Not like a ton’s happened, though. I’ve been doing my part in defeating Mario once and for all, as always! I’ve been going waaaaay too easy on him lately, though. Nowadays he just jumps over me! What a total jerk! Why doesn’t he just charge through so I can wail on him?? Ugh. I need to ask my pirahna planty friend Baba if she can block the way so I can beat Mario up on the rebound.
Other than that...hm! When I’m not on duty, I’m still hanging around the house with my little sibs, hanging around at my big sibs’ pizzaria, hanging around the great Bowser’s castle, just plain ol’ traveling and working out! It’s really showing too. Are you guys SEEING my biceps in this picture? They’re getting huge, man!
In any case, I’m sorry that I completely left without a word! Totally unintentional, I swear. I’ll be better at keeping you guys updated on my wacky antics!
((Helloooooo, everybody! I’m going to post what I’ve been doing under this cut, especially detailing why I haven’t been updating here all that often anymore.))
((So, I have two jobs: one at a Starbucks and one at a preschool. They’re both very high intense jobs for me and more often than not I am EXHAUSTED at the end of the day. Each day I work at a range from 4 to 11 hours, depending on what both of my schedules line up, and the days where I have full days off are few and far in between. So, usually when I get back home from work in the day, I’m completely burned out and fatigued - not very good times to think of and draw any updates!
That right there’s the biggest reason why I haven’t been updating at all. It’s those pesky two jobs! I love working at both of these places, but. Hoo boy. It’s a thing.
I wanted to just only update this blog with answering asks (I even have all of the answers typed out already for every ask I’ve recieved thus far!), but since that’s becoming less and less likely, I think I’m just going to do single pictures of good ol’ 1-1 when I feel the urge to update. Nothing fancy, no colors or anything, just sketches, because I am really freakin’ tired. If I feel up for it I might be able to do one of those long winded answers again, but who know when I’ll have the energy to do that in the near future?
Welp, in any case, I just wanted to touch base with you guys. I’m not dead, I’m just dead tired! I’ll try to get back into the swing of things, though!))
The deadliest character in video game history is probably the first goomba in the original Super Mario Brothers. Between people not knowing how to play, not paying attention, and little kids playing that level that guy has probably killed Mario more times than all other bad guy characters combined.
I wanted to do a small contest involving these guys. ;D All you have to do is reblog with the date you think they’re going to hatch! Simple and easy. If there are multiple correct answers, I’ll RNG a winner.
Winner gets a waist up flat colored thing from me of their muse. I’ll end this April 11th and contact the winner privately, then announce it publicly on the hatch date. Generally this goes without saying, but this is for my followers only.
I don’t really know much about the guy that I took his job from. I remember he was very grateful, giving me super sarcastic comments about how this job will be SOOO good and will leave you SOOOO satisfied with your life and how you’ll get SOOOOOOO much money in order to feed your wife and three kids. He kind of had enough. But I’m still satisfied with my life and I feel good and if I had a wife and three kids I’d probably have money...especially after that worker’s strike and all a few months back.
And, uh...I know that being on Bowser’s army pretty much makes us all fight pretty dirty, but I’m talking about, like...hiding coin blocks above bottomless pits and Bloopers flying in the air instead of water. Stuff like that.
It’s Night 1, and the paper cut strikes again! The two minions of Bowser must’ve got into a fight or something, because Steve offs Goombanthony with a letter or something. Dear, sweet Announcer Samuel, in his eagerness to blow others up, seems to have had a little… “Accident.” We’ll get the cleaning crew to pick up all the pieces, slick! Yuk yuk yuk!
((Awww, 1-1! I come back from work and you're already dead. From a paper cut, no less! Well, I mean, paper cuts hurt a lot, but. C'mon, man, get your act together.))
((Just a little sketch to prove that I'm still alive! Three weeks ago I got a bad cold. Two weeks ago I got food poisoning. Then, last week, I got strep throat plus a bit of the flu. Thaaaanks, preschoolers. Fingers crossed that I don't get sick again this week!
A preschooler gave me the reasoning above for why she didn't want to clean up the toys, and I kinda felt like I had to preserve this conversation. She then came up to me and told me, "If we use much energy, we might die." Thanks for the grim advice, kiddo!))
Hmmm...I don't know if this means if it's a person I like, or if it's a person I...like-like, you know? I'll just go with the former then!
Person I like! I don't think I ever would've known you had I not started this blog and had you not started your own blog! You're a pretty interesting guy, and I'm surprised that we have some things in common! I know that people have been doing those uh...magical anons thingymabobbers on you and it hasn't been pleasant I'm assuming, but I know you can power through them!
You should stop by my older sibs' pizzaria sometime! They're all chefs too, a lot better than me, you can swap pointers and food with them and stuff. Uh...they're all Goombas though, so......either don't touch them or wear gloves or a hazmat or something. I dunno. Well, anyway! Stop by anytime if you need anything, door's always open for ya!
From,
1-1
((Dear person I like,
HMMMMMM who to pick. I like a lot of people. Uhhhh...
Dear people I like! You're all great! Super great! I can't really pick just one person out of many to write a thing too, so just take this catch all letter!
Aww geez! I haven't written to you in a while! Well, you'd probably know why, seeing as how my jerk older brother told me the truth about you when I was still a little kid. But...in the case there REALLY is a Santa, this is what I would like!
I want some new shoes, the ones that have the little spikes on them! I think they're called cleats? Anyway yeah, I want those so that I can give Mario a taste of his own medicine! And, uh, money too! Money for my parents and for my older sibs' pizzaria! We could fix up a few things around the house and the pizzaria can be updated with a fresh look! They'd flip out for that!
Just in case you really are really real, I'll bake some extra special cookies for you for your flight, if I don't forget about it 10 months from now.
From,
Goombanthony
((Dear Santa,
Holy crap I thought my cold was bad, but food poisoning is at a whole new level of badness! Please give me some medicine or water or a magic spell that'll make this go away. I kind of need this stuff right now rather than in December, so...tick tock, Kris Kringle!
