Happy late birthday spm, this is my love letter to this damn game asdhdjgk

Screenshots from here and source here

Notes and easter eggs list below

Mario and Luigi's usernames are the only one that use _

Timpani and Blumiere are the only username that use -

Luvbi's name is "The Pure of Heart" in elizabeth English

For Jaydes, Asphodel Meadows is one of the greek mythology afterlife, specifically the one the underwhere is based on

Merlon's numbers are because there's canonicaly multiple Merlon, so they're seperating each others' accounts with numbers. The number are spm's release date

Tiptron was brave enough to publicly take the username "Tippi" because it's not like Timpani"s gonna use it again. So she pretty much went "it's free real estate"

Peach is keeping her names serious due to her status. Bowser does not care lmao

Blumiere's mouth and eye are blue like how when he was defeated, rather than when he was hateful and corrupted

Timpani's hair band mimics butterfly antennas, her colours are from me putting a sepia filter on her pixl form

Mimi is wearing her post game outfit. The form she shape-shifted into is also important and related to her backstory, though I'm not sharing that just yet : 3c

Nassy's design is based on Swoops, which is what i hc she was before she ate Bleck's dreams, and transformed into a Swoop/Human/Tribe of darkness mix from Bleck's dreams of Timpani, in the hope on getting him to love her if she looked more similar to them. Her eye colour is from the square effect when she uses her mind control power. She's not wearing her glasses due to it being postgame, and thus the start of her development into accepting herself and hiding away less, they're not reading glasses but sunglasses due to being sensitive to light (and also hiding some of her face and facial expressions)

Peach and O'Chunks know how to cook/bake, so they're the one commenting on how she made it/how Peach couldn't replicate it despite being a master baker

Luvbi, Grambi and Jaydes are here because, if the witches have tv, then they must also have internet access, and it is canon in my post game that they keep up with what the gang is up to online, since it's not everyday they meet people that can come and go from the afterlife and who they owe their life to. Though obviously it would be from myspace rather than tiktok since they have 2007 technology. Jaydes and Grambi wouldn't post or comment anything, but Luvbi is actively making friends. Also the idea of god himself coming to your comment section to go "what the hell" at your cooking skills is too funny

Nassy is in Saffron's kitchen and wearing an appron designed like hers, since the post game shows she lives in Flopside now. I decided on Sweet Smile rather than Hot Fraun because i thought Dyllis' temperament might scare away Nassy since she's never cooked before, and Saffron would be more supportive

And, well, you saw one of her first attempts GSXGDHI Do not let her in da kitchen

She clearly got the role of secretary just because of how attached she was to Bleck and wanted to be useful. But the whole point is that's she's living for someone else (him), while also trying to be someone else (timpani)

So her not being the "perfect girlfriend" is important to me

Bad at encouragement, bad at team spirit, bad at cooking, bad at comforting, bad at advice

Just, take the cliche of the nurturing perfect mom-friend, and make it the opposite

She's trying to get on Timpani's level, when she doesn't even really want to or enjoy any of this new persona she'd need to use. Because she's not Timpani, and faking who you are to get someone to date you is such a bad move that will crash in the long run

ALSO ALSO TIPTRON SAYING SHE'S ALSO TIPPI, YET TIMPANI REPLIED WITH SASS AND SARCASM, WHILE SHE MADE A JOKE CONNECTED TO ANALYTICAL KNOWLEDGE

TIPTRON IS MORE ANALYTICAL PIXL THAN SASSY TIMPANI

HAPPY 18 BIRTHDAY SUPER PAPER MARIO‼️‼️‼️ this is just the cutscene before chapter 8 /j

[thebearme]

The bros had a problem feeling like they were being watched so they ask if there anything spiritual involved. Merlon then went on a whole thing about prophecys -_-

A tale about holy twins, Marcelo and Luisito being the Gods of fiery creation and thundery destruction respectively. Marcelo being known as the village's red warrior while Luisito stayed home in his green fields, caring for the livestock but when the time came the bros will commit to everything to protect what's dear. The brothers were heroes in their village, sticking together despite their antithesis purposes for the Stars.

It is told that if separated and tricked then the battle of the end of the beginning can and will return.

There was a king that craves all that is not his and so he stole someone who the brothers hold so dear, in the fight to get what right, The God of Thunder Luisito fallen in the battle.

Without thunder there no fire, without fire there no creation, without creation there was nothing.

In order to have light in a world of darkness one last time, Marcelo made a sacrifice, offering half of his life for his brother. They now watch over everything in the night sky, being the source of light in both of you.

Anyway I think you can tell who I inspired the prophecy off- greek twins go brrr

I basically just wanted a proper explanation given to the bros about any prophecy they get compared too like the one in super paper mario Like- what does Luigi feel being the antichrist in these stories? Definitely NOT FUCKING GREAT!

But I don't want it to be all doom and gloom so it's more neutral then "Luigi bad, Mario good" and have a focus on them being twins with good intentions. (btw i still haven't seen all of m&l brothership so if there's something that makes or breaks this hc then idk it yet)

Fact: Shamans are powerful magicians who are descended from the Tribe of Ancients. They often work as fortune tellers and charmers, using Star Power to perform magic.

They are named by profession, meaning several individuals with the same job have the same name, such as Merlon.
