Well, well. It's people! ⭐ SMRPG Art & Thoughts

The space in my brain where Geno lives rent-free has gotten reallllly full for some reason, so I made this blog. Also drawing him lots and lots (maybe every day?) till November 17th. Bleeding-heart, secretly-agender adult nerd with a lot of SMRPG feelings.

GENOvember Day 30: A decision.

I've decided to continue writing Geno - every day, posting it publicly or not - until Nintendo officially casts a voice actor for him in something.

Smash, a future Mario movie, a TV show? Don't care what. Do I care if they write him anything like I do? Not in the least. I just want Nintendo to keep using this character.

I'm not speedy enough at drawing to make one art piece a day like Thinginator did… But I DID write 100k words this past month. 😎

King Boo: 𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃

What started as a simple background to knock off my to-do list turned into another image idea to knock off my to-do list. Geno vs King Boo.

So I didn't know the boos in LM3 would/ could throw bombs at you till I hunted down a video about them to show a friend. I either got lucky in my run that they never did that or IDK. It was funny that they are learning so much from their king, really.

Bottom left boo really saying 'parry this, you filthy casual'.

First time drawing Geno! That was fun! A lot of interesting rabbit hole videos about him I accidentally stumbled upon when doing so. lol

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

[charlignon]

Also do NOT append "12ft.io/" before a URL ! Typing an URL like this https://12ft.io/<URL> will redirect to a site that would break the display of the page by removing the paywall !

[cinoclexity]

Honestly it's kind of prohibited to mash CTRL+P before some paywall windows can load in to get a PDF of the article. Really shouldn't be done tbh very dangerous🤷🏿‍♂️ ❌️

[genericpuff]

[prolifeproliberty]

You also definitely don’t want to go to https://archive.ph/ and put the URL in even after the paywall loads, because that would both bypass the paywall AND archive the article so it could be referenced if the article later gets stealth edited or memory-holed

Free worldbuilding idea:

Wizards have the same trust in magic that software designers have in software, which is to say, almost none at all.

“Are you fucking kidding me I worked in a reagrent shop for a few years I don’t trust any of that stuff. Who the hell knows what other components are in the ashes.”

“Yeah I was in the circle that made Alston’s Divine Circle of Teleportation. There’s some pretty nasty corner cases you can get into but the headmaster published it without us. I just take ships. It’s way safer.”

“I call bullshit on that Necromancer channeling spirits of loved ones. What did he say he was using? ‘Medium Conduit Ruinic Circles’? That’s just a bunch of buzzwords slapped together, and they don’t even interact with each other.”

“I’ve been looking at this scroll all morning and I’m 90% sure that the scribe didn’t even look at the standard for pyromancies.”

[digitaldiscipline]

“Help Desk, this is Gloriline, what did you fuck up this time?” *indistinct vocals* “Dave, I’ve seen the news, and, frankly, I can see the ash cloud from here. You paid for extended support, not enabling support.”

[void-writing]

“I can’t get this fucking spell to work, Jane, can you look it?”

*passes a scroll* *a few moments of silence*

“I think you missed a bookend rune right here-”

“GODS DAMN IT! IT’S ALWAYS SHIT LIKE THAT! THANK YOU!” *angrily scribbles on parchment*

(It takes five more aggravatingly tiny adjustments before the spell works)

[crazy-pages]

I don’t play wizards anymore because they’re too much like my day job.

[drackir]

Instead of a orb the wizard has a little statue of a duck he tells his spells to and then swears when he spots the obvious mistake.

[beachfox-deactivated20181218]

You beat me to it! I was going to add that the reason why wizards and witches always have familiars around is so they can Rubber Duck at them until they realize what the mistake with their spell is!

Outsiders get it wrong and figure the familiars are somehow teaching spells to their owners, but no. It’s just explaining to Firewing what you’re trying to do with this teleportation matrix until you realize that you’ve been using telepathy crystals to power it the whole time like a FUCKING IDIOT!

Super Mario RPG (2023) ↳ Geno's Arrival

[zocchini37]

What if Geno wore Mario's summer outfit?

Omg I've never gotten an ask before

I wasn't sure which one you meant exactly but I really like Mario's sunshine outfit so I doodled Geno in that :)

More offscreen Luigi + Mario rambling about his mom

[revletter]

(Updated with minific!) Where did Gaz's Geno doll come from?

We don't know, but I may have a headcanon involving that one SMRPG character who is totally (in canon!) a collector of retro toys.

I like to imagine Geno was recalled by the Mushroom Kingdom for being too dangerous for children. But has that ever stopped Hinopio (Cinder Toad) before? Heck no! He lives in a volcano, for pete's sake, and if the pencil pushers have something to say about it, they're welcome to visit. They can pry his limited edition Shooting Star Shot out of his hot dead fingers.

On the other hand... ... ...there's a super cute inkeeper way down south near the forest, and her son's birthday is coming up.

UPDATE: Here's a minific about that, which is a snippet of the next major SMRPG fic I'm working on. Enjoy!

-------🌋-------

"SWEET!"

The exclamation echoed back and forth through the inner walls of Barrel Volcano.

With a crash, the sooty wooden lid of a shipping crate landed on top of a pile of a dozen others. Then a crowbar clanged to the rough stone floor.

At the top step of the sturdy stepladder beside it, a sturdy Toad dug into the very last shipping crate left. Shaking a small box free of the curly wood shavings of its padding, he grinned.

"Knew I still had one of the good ones," said Hinopio to himself.

He tucked the little blue box carefully under his arm, climbed halfway down, and hopped the rest of the distance to the floor, whistling.

The box landed on his shop desk with a satisfying thunk. "You're one of the good ones, all right," Hinopio grunted with approval. "None of this cheap plastic … actually gonna work…"

Wiping his brow, he left it there a moment and cleaned up his mess, malleting each lid back down onto its crate and lugging them all back to their organized shelves and stacks. Finally, he carefully returned his precious retro jet figurines to their proud little display. He took a moment to arrange them just right, admiring their gleam in the volcano's ever-present ruddy glow, and flicked a flake of ash from the middle one's fuselage. "They sure don't make 'em like they used to, do they, Blue Falcon?"

Hinopio made his way back to his shop desk, a rough thing made of more crates. Producing a red grease pencil from his tool belt, he retrieved a blank postcard with a picture of a volcano on it from an overflowing box on his desk. He bent over it, writing.

Hi Ginger, You're not going to believe this - I actually have one of the recalled ones! I'll ship it down the Midas River pipe as soon as I can. I hope Gaz likes it.Warmest regards -- HinopioP.S.: It's been a long time. Heard that place in Seaside still has those elderberry drinks you like. Any chance you'd

Hinopio's pencil stopped. He stared down at the postcard for some time.

With a sigh of exasperation, he pulled out a fresh one to start over. In an all-too-practiced movement, he snatched up the nearly-finished postcard and shuffled toward the little lava pit that served as his combination-stove-and-trash-can.

"Good thing I rarely sell any of you," he said to the postcard, lowering his round black safety glasses and holding it over the burbling little caldera. "Go on, join your siblings…"

But he didn't drop it in. He watched the words go shiny as they melted a little deeper into the cardstock.

Setting his jaw, he turned back to his desk. "Today. Today's the day. I'm gonna do this!"

Hinopio picked up the pencil again. "You're not gonna be awkward." He sank down onto his stool, his tool belt drumming a mocking rimshot against the metal of the seat. "You're not gonna make this... awkward..."

His eyes flicked to the lava pit again. To the postcard again. Back and forth.

Finally, he clunked his elbows onto his desk and buried his face in his hands. "This is gonna be what ends me," he groaned. "I wish I could just say it!"

The stone walls offered an echo of his last few words, but no further help.

On the bright side, at least that meant Hinopio hadn't gone nuts yet.

Just today, someone mentioned they remembered my "recalled Geno doll" headcanon positively, and I'm so weak against unexpected validation that I decided to spruce it up with a written scene I've been sitting on for a while and post it!

In fact, this is a small piece of an ambitious SMRPG fic project I've been working on for MONTHS. (My most popular fic, Finesse, is also a piece of the project, and my "Ginger" version of Gaz's mom will be one of its major protagonists.) I can't wait to post more of it!

[elitadream]

I love when everyone in a community unanimously adopts a certain headcanon because it's just that good. One of my big favorites is Luigi being a mechanical expert and gifted engineer. 👏

I also very much agree with @pianokantzart on the fact that the man should have his chance to build/repair karts. I feel like he'd be a magician with those! 😄🔧

G for Geno

[nintendonut1]

"Do the dresses ever get in the way while you're battling?"

"Quite the opposite, actually."

[revletter]

SMRPG headcanon: Mario doesn't actually help make the magic parasol in Spare-Us-All, his Triple Move with Geno and Peach. But he does help prevent his favorite two lightweight magic users from getting knocked off the field when it takes an attack. That thing has a lot of surface area!

What a good guy.

mario def the type of guy to threaten his enemies by saying he’s from brooklyn, only for absolutely no one to be threatened because no one in the mushroom kingdom knows what brooklyn is

Geno headcanon time! 😀

One of my absolute favorite Geno headcanons is that when he first tries ANY new skill that requires physical coordination, at first he's hilariously bad at them. And then, after several tries, suddenly it clicks, and mr. ancient and probably extremely book-smart star gets the concept and he's suddenly TOP-NOTCH competent. (like one of those toddlers who barely even crawls and then just one day runs, or that kid who never speaks a word until age 6 when out of the blue they start quoting philosophy textbooks.)

(EDIT: I guess I should add my rationale for this. When we first meet Geno he's crashing into furniture and tripping all over the forest. And then boom, suddenly he jumps out of a tree, lands perfectly on his feet, roundhouse-punches Bowyer in the face, frickin' speedskates on a rainbow, and is nothing but poised and cool for the rest of the game.)

... BUT...

also that with every single one of those skills, he has to stay in constant practice, or he'll rapidly lose of that hard-won motor control and have to rebuild it. Oh cool, he took enough dance lessons to finally be Mario tier, but hasn't danced in two weeks? 100% steps on your toes. He dominated a cooking competition last month but has been on the road since? Sets your kitchen on fire.

(Kind of like having a metabolism that demands a diligent workout routine or else you'll rapidly get out of shape, but, like, with possessing a body. 😆 )

And of course that means every time he visits, he's going to have all those adorably clumsy moments we love, and have to relearn all sorts of little things. It'll be like riding a bike for him, but he'll crash the bike five times, and then ride circles around you, and then do all of that again next time you ride bikes.

If I had to write him into a tabletop game, I'd make him roll unavoidable natural 1's for his first-ever few uses of every single physical skill. If I were the GM I'd make his player keep track of how long it's been since each one, and I'd be on that like a hawk. Because if there's anything I love, it's another opportunity to put him on his face.

All that to say... Let him cook! But keep that fire extinguisher real close. Maybe just attach it to his arm.

[eganmont]

See ya next adventure, Mario.

Made this for more rendering practice! Almost gave up on it, but glad to finish it.
