the great thing about a lot of the original spm designs is that they’re so abstract you can do anything with them

So i was going through old SPM art and found this post again, and decided ya know what? WHAT IF I DESIGNED THE SAGES. So uh. I did. And Now i miss my wife (spm is my wife. i miss her, guys)

If you wan like. Ask me questions about the designs I can give you my thoughts. Assuming I have any thoughts.

Um so I've been really into the Ancients recently-

I think the Shaman characters are super cool looking so I wanted to give them cool designs/translate them into my style (I love you mirror tool) I’ve also been doing way too much research into their lore and society

The main Flipside/Flopside gang

The old guys from Lineland

The Four Sages

The Merlee depicted in the mural in the Pit

A character I made for a thing I'm writing (based on that unused character in the game)

And Bonus!! The TTYD guys (including Dazzle cuz I think he's a Shaman too)

Super Paper Mario Timeline:

This has actually been done for quite some time, I just forgot to post it, but here is a decently comprehensive timeline of the important events of the 1500 years preceding Super Paper Mario. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w_sWU5LxkszlbWLoqTJRhTvuYY9AAU8pUnMbHtCNxCc/edit?pli=1

I may eventually get around to the rest, but the periods of 3000 and 2000 years ago are more unclear and contentious than the era of the Sages, as well as having less concrete information to draw from, so those probably won't be done for a while. Feel free to leave any feedback and ask any questions, I'm always happy to respond!

old people i respect

(why does no one ever talk about merlight and his superbly funky boots. seriously.)

[rosesuponroses]

First day on Tumblr and I've reblogged old art and now am dumping so character designs here too, one day I'll eventually line and color these

If anyone has questions (whether they be on the designs or headcannons in general) feel free to ask! :)

(Part 2 of 2)

Genie Twilight: Technically all she had to wish was for was to remove the involuntary transformation part since a wish I gave to Scootaloo already gave me the ability to give ponies the ability to switch between seapony forms. But I digress... Say Pinkie, did you bring that Twilight out purely so we could help her out?

Genie Pinkie: Basically, yeah! I’ve learned from when I brought that former genie Starlight long ago. If we find some universes that could use our help, we absolutely should!

Genie Twilight: Though make sure that we only set to change the ones that only take a minor change in the grand scheme of things in said universe. We don’t want to go too crazy and start trying to reverse every single universe where something terrible happens to Equestria in some fashion. It’s sad sometimes if we come across that, but we just have to focus on keeping our own universes as safe as can be.

Re: Merlimbis

So I posted about this elsewhere a while ago, but I'm thinking about it again. Every other one of the Sages has something substantial to them that goes beneath the surface and has bizarre implications. Merlight worked with the Tribe of Darkness to create Flopside and was probably the one to pass down the (technically illegal) notes on Pixl-making that Merlon later used to save Timpani's life. Merlumina was apparently the wholesale leader of the entire Tribe of Ancients and helped out substantially with every other Sage's contributions on top of being powerful and passionate enough that her romances threatened WORLDS somehow. Merloo... hoo boy, where to even START on him? Having future vision in the Japanese version, very likely being the one of the Light Prognosticus's writers to have read the Dark one in order to make it, probably BEING Dimentio, the list goes on. All that's not even getting into the weird stuff. But then there's Merlimbis. Loving and caring person, ancestor of Merlee and Merluvlee, co-created the Purity Heart with Merlumina, and... that's it, as far as I can tell? She helped make the vessel for the most powerful, undying force in existence, but she doesn't have ANY weird mysteries or associations? It's just weird. If anybody has more I missed on Merlimbis, I'd be very interested to know more!
