Popping in to inform y'all I'm alive and just haven't been able to make stuff cause busy but- OMG MR PUZZLE GETTING HIS OWN ANIMATED SPINOFF BY FREAKING ZAMIMATION IS INSANE NEWS, I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE-
Not much, but just wanted to share this weapon design i came up with for smg4 a month ago- I actually tweaked and changed some bits to look better, but unfortunately i lost the drawing and this pic was all i had left- sooo ye :P (all i remember is the top and bottom refs smg3)
Haha funny fact- i originally made this for a kpop demon hunter au because lmao smg4 is sooo rumi (ALSO THE PURPLE MARKS!!!)
NEW(?) HC! They can turn back into their usb after taking a fatal/critical injury and after some time to recover, they reforms again- :) (like when gems get poofed in steven universe)

Hey! Since I really like your AU, I want to ask you a question if you allow me.
What were the reactions of the others when they realized that Smg4 was like this and how did they act towards Smg4?
Of course! I was hoping to get some ask on this au, so I'm glad u did! :)
They all react in a mix of shock, fear, confusion and worry.
Meggy and Smg3 being the most worried about Smg4, while they try not to show it, they are probably also a little fearful and acts a little more cautious around him without meaning to
Luigi and Mario are mostly confused, while also being a mix of fearful and worried, they try not to draw too much attention to it, since smg4 seemed more comfortable that way so unless something happens they just brush it off
Boopkins and Tari being the most shocked and anxious and are the most awkward and noticeably jittery when around Smg4
Bob and Swag were shocked but are already preparing countermeasures, just in case...
Only took a little over a month to find free time and get my motivation to continue this- lol
Part 1/? Next>
This was originally supposed to just be a hurt/angst comic, but now I've added a comfort/fluff end- though it doesn't make any difference since you won't see it and this is only 3rd of the original angst comic wip XD
Not as polished, because i do not have the energy nor time to try and make it perfect- so here's my best shot trying to actually complete this and not let it become one of the forever wip piles-
Idk if anyone else have done it but here's my take at least-
Introducing... G̶̪͊l̶̡͛i̴̮̋t̶̘̂ć̴̨h̸̼͐!̵̼̂SMG4! AU
And now a small fun cutscene for this au-
SMG3 slams SMG4 door open, barging into his room. "FOUR WHAT THE HELL?!?!! YOU'VE BEEN STAYING IN YOUR ROOM ALL DAY!! I SWEAR IF YOU'RE DOING THIS AGAIN ON PURPOSE I'LL-!!!"
SMG4 turns around with a sharp gasp.
"What the...? Four? What's going on here...?"
Sooo basically after IGBP, SMG4 slowly started to develop this glitch effect, at first he could hide it, but as time goes on it got worse... Especially after they moved to the new castle-
It started off small, a quick flash, a small glitch that could easily be mistaken for a trick of the light, a blink and you'll miss it moment.
Which is why for a while no one noticed, not even SMG4... But when he did start seeing it, he wasn't sure if it was real or just a hallucination...
So it took a while for him to realize and accept something is actually wrong, until he accidentally glitched while holding an object and breaking it when he got startled.
It would start getting worse, but he figured out that staying calm helps reduce and control it almost, while strong emotions often bring it out, so after that he was mostly able to keep it under wraps.
He didn't want to lie to his friends... But he couldn't help it, he didn't know how to explain why he even started glitching in the first place (well... maybe he has a hunch on why but he didn't want to admit it to himself-). Or why he didn't bother to try telling them until now...
It's not like it bothers him particularly (except maybe on a bad day, which usually he stays in for those days, excusing himself by saying he felt sick.), he felt fine! ...Aside from maybe some weird lingering tingle or static like feeling, but that's all!
So he kept quiet and maybe sometimes, his friends would start noticing something was off, but they could never quite put a finger on it, as SMG4 would reassure them that he was fine and/or tell them they were just seeing things.
Obviously they noticed his weird behaviour and started getting suspicious of him anyway, Especially SMG3, so he can only convince them so much before they all inevitably find out one way or another...
Extra notes:
Is this a form of corruption? Kinda? But no, not really, it's more like a wild uncontrollable power he acquired since it can definitely be used to his advantage or do something destructive if left unchecked (more in a future post maybe)
What prompted me to create this Au? Well it started when I thought about other ways SMG4 might get affected after IGBP and then i started thinking about vanellope from wreck it Ralph and immediately my mind was like... GLITCH POWERS!!! :D (It just make sense, after all that's his original name- oh yeah it's all comig together, putting the glitch back in supermarioglitchy4 baby!!!)
What does his glitch power entails?
Well here's a few abilities i have listed for now! (Note; they might be subject to change in the future)
-Teleportation (can glitch through things)
-Painful regeneration in exchange for invincibility (aka he's immortal! But recovering from a critical or fatal injury is still very painful)
-Partial shifting by touch (related to his teleportation but also glitchy nature which he can change, move or remove something by touching something while glitching)
Extra ability
-Enhance speed and strength in a short burst
-Ability to change and modify his voice
Emotions effect
Happy/excited: speed increase and more control/higher accuracy
Sad: lag/slowness and higher regeneration
Angry: power intensity increased but pain doubles and regenerate slower
Scared/shock/nervous: decrease control and accuracy making him glitch a lot more
Will there be more added to the story?
Yes! Still developing it since it's mostly just a concept still so, many things might change along the way.
I've had this idea for a long while now, but never really got to make more of it until now! I hope you enjoy it! :)
