heyyyy gang… guess who’s been making a bunch of character sheets for the Fun House Rewrite I’m doing with @gittyokoppa39 :3

I wanted to add more characters here cuz I’m almost done with a handful of them, but like… it’s been a minute since I’ve posted some art on tumblr dot com and I wanna yap about the Rewrite sooo HERE’S THE MAIN TRIO!!

[also Tripolar/Groupalings if you’re seeing this hiiiiiii don’t take us rewriting this the wrong way we’re basically doing fanfiction of a fanfiction for fun :D]

some more character yapping and other stuff is under the cut cuz I love these guys and I’m Not Normal!! :D

AAAAAAAAAA holy yap dude, I have a lot more thoughts that I wanna go in detail about but I’m gonna try to summarize things in the best way I can >_<

Gitty and I have so many thoughts and ideas and AUGH… NFH Rewrite……

There’s only 10 Seasons here compared to the 12 we’ve got in canon!! 10 just felt right to me, and we’re actually gonna spend an equal amount of time in each house, so it’s not like there’s gonna be much of any favoritism there (crazy how the 1st and 4th Houses got under 20 episodes before the crew moved, but 8th House got nearly 90)

there’s not gonna be any crossover stuff in this, any and all characters here are gonna be Mario related! No Kermit, no Adventure Time stuff, no Ronald McDonald or Dame Tu Cosita, and yes this technically applies to Fox McCloud as well. This is ONLY Mario stuff

Speaking of the Movies, the continuity and worldbuilding of this series is kinda like a weird mishmash of the Games, Movies, other media, and original stuff that both we and Tripolar came up with. It’s mainly the Games that we take inspiration from though

The Fun House, as in the actual house(s) itself, isn’t inherently magical or unusual like how it’s implied to be in canon. What the villains are after is not the house’s magic or the Key or Main Character Plot Armor or anything like that! I think this specifically is something I’m probably gonna get into more on another post lol

The events of Super Mario Series is usually referred to as The [1st] Mushroom-Koopa War in-universe, because we’re not doing that 4th wall break stuff where the characters literally refer to SMS and NFH as Tripolar Series’s lol

Also we (mainly Gitty) do have things for SMS Rewrite as well!! but that’s also gonna be saved for another post… we’re properly treating it like an NFH prequel for the whole time instead of just right at the end lol

We’re giving Junior his braincells back, as in he’s an inventor here!! All three of the Fun Bunch are nerds in their own way, but Junior is more tech-focused while Gill is more magic-focused!!

The education system here is kinda iffy, most people graduate at like 14/15 years old. 14/15 is like average “beginning of college” age in this universe dude just go with it LMAO

Anyone remember Mushroom Kingdom Academy? Well in this rewrite that school is a huge deal!! For starters it’s a college now, Gill attends it physically for the first like month and a half but ends up doing things online for the next year and a half due to Events™ before switching colleges (2 years at MKA and 2 at the University of Delfino Plaza)

ANOTHER THING TOO!! Boom Boom (aka Lawrence) from MKA is still known as a giant bully in the school, but the main four students from MKA in this rewrite actually befriend him!! I have art of all of them that I plan to post soon and they’re so cool, Boom Boom’s actually really nice when everyone isn’t talking about how horrible he is!!

and ik there’s an elephant to address with Boom Boom and Gill’s relationship after MKA for Those Who Know… all I’m gonna say there is that if they’re friends, Gill would be more likely to listen to what Boom Boom has to say ;3

OH ALSO. Their families!! Let’s talk about them!! I have Thoughts on how Tripolar handled each of the Fun Bunch’s respective families vs Rewrite.

Starting with Junior: we’re going the classic route of “the Koopalings are Junior’s adoptive siblings” here, just like in canon. HOWEVER. We’re not emphasizing the adoption part. Yeah the Koopalings are still biologically Junior’s cousins but nobody in-universe gives a shit at all. Not Junior, not the Koopalings, not anyone. They’re by all accounts Junior’s older siblings and he loves them. HE LOVES THEM. AND THEY LOVE HIM BACK. And I’ll address the elephant rn on the topic of one specific Koopaling

Ludwig is technically still an antagonist, but his motivations are completely different, honestly his whole thing with Junior is more of a misunderstanding now than anything cuz Junior Lowkey Can’t Communicate For Shit. He doesn’t work with Two-Eyes or anyone from that squad anymore, and hurting Junior is the last thing that Lud wants to do

Oh yeah Kamek actually exists here!! idk why he was never shown in NFH, I don’t think it was explained… idk if Four-Eyes existing had anything to do with it or what cuz iirc Tri never had any issue with having multiple characters of the same species that look exactly alike (Squilliam and Sakawaka for example) soooo… yea idk. Either way Kamek’s here and he’s mainly in the Koopa Castle with the Koopalings/other High Ranking Officials, kinda carrying the kingdom on his back since Bowser is on a long vacation rn LMAO

Also will say due to some uh. Recent Events. Kamek was always around with the Koopa Family. He raised Bowser from birth to adulthood, and is helping out with raising both Junior and the Koopalings!!

Speaking of Bowser… I’ll get more into him on a separate post but he’s a major character for the first few seasons and then Things Happen. once again for Those Who Know if you’ve seen the series you’ll get what I’m talking about… yeaaahhhh I’m not doing any timeline resets or anything sooooo that’s gonna be permanent. lol. 💥💥💥

he’s also a way better dad than he is in canon. He’s less like Movie!Bowser and more like Games!Bowser if that makes sense, aaaaand I’ll address the rest of Junior’s family situation in a future post :]

I’m gonna yap about that all anyway but Gitty has a gun to my head rn (/j) so yea hehehe

For Tyler’s family specifically I took some reference from the Reboot cuz. well. the original series had nothing for him LMAO. I only took very very loose reference though and basically pulled an Eeveelution Squad (again). His birth parents are dead unfortunately… I have ideas for his birth parents (they’re lesbians now, estrogen can save Universe) but I’ve mainly been focusing on Tyler’s siblings!! They took him in and it’s just aaaghhhh <3

I basically turned the Shellshock triplets into my OCs lmaoo, they’re only really the same characters by name (and even then I changed Tyrone’s name 😭) cuz like they’re different species, have different personalities, I shot them all with the headcanon beam. Ironic as hell that they’re his adoptive siblings here cuz in canon their Whole Thing was being his bio siblings :P

OH ALSO Tyler’s last name!! I forgot he had a canonical last name for the longest time and when I found out about it again I was like Oh Well! I like Busybee as a last name for them more cuz I LOVE THEIR BEE MOTIF!! Apparently in canon Tyler doesn’t like Bees all that much but I DON’T CARE HE DOES IN RW!!!! 🐝🐝🐝

his middle name in Rewrite is Longshell, and Shellshock was the surname his bio parents had </3

oh yeah also rip to any and all Bumblebee Basketball Man fans, all 2 of you, but Tyler isn’t a world famous superhero here, BBM is just like his cringy superherosona LMAO

Gill’s parents. oh my god Gill’s parents where do I start. Ok ok so Clifford is actually a decent parent here. BEFORE YOU GUYS THROW TOMATOES ME WAIT WAIT. I SAID “DECENT” NOT “GOOD”. Clifford is the “malewife” to Charline’s “girlboss”. I’m taking the canon arc with Gill’s parents and throwing it out the window. Basically in Rewrite this is like “Gill’s Parents Arc if it Lined Up With The Things Said in 6th House”

AKA there’s a huuuuuge focus on Charline. You can TELL Gill got the braincells from her, she’s basically like a mix of Alma Madrigal and Ming Lee but like if they were actually an antagonist yk?? Also throw in a bit of Odalia Blight in there for good measure. Gill really idolizes his mom for a lot of Rewrite and it’s like Gill she’s toxic. Gill you don’t need to be a perfectionist cuz of her GILL YOU GOTTA SEE THROUGH HER BULLSHIT GIIIIIIIILL-

Charline also has huge ties to Mushroom Kingdom Academy. Won’t say much on that yet but They’re There. Compared to Charline, Clifford is like surprisingly chill and just wants to see his kid succeed. Yeah he fits the bill for how a stereotypical Shy Guy acts in this universe but at least his intentions are good here!! Gill doesn’t hate him, it’s mainly with his mom where things get more complicated (also he’s an only child sorry Gal).

Charline also runs her own company too and that doesn’t have any significance at all teehee :)

THE FUN BUNCH DON’T SHIT ON GILL FOR EXISTING THEY ARE A GOOD FRIEND GROUP THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER

who maaaaaaybe or maybe not become more than friends at some point in the series….. :3

#polyfunbunch sweep

OK THAT’S ALL FOR NOW… PLEEEEASE send me or Gitty asks about this rewrite we gotta yap more about it there’s so much I wanna say AAAAAAA /nf

[rosetheocto]

…look, okay. i just. i couldn’t resist doing it-

[rosetheocto]

*throws a lazy meme redraw at you*

honestly shoutouts to these two, wish we got to see them interact together more outside of Luigi’s Fun Mansion </3

[rosetheocto]

idk about you guys but I think Sakawaka would relate to Sunset Shimmer so much, especially during Rainbow Rocks, because he too was given the “Main Character Forced To Be A Side Character” Struggle while also catching strays from other Fun House members for things he’s done to the crew in the past (mainly the 4th House Finale)

And I can’t forget that they’re also both more comfortable being a different species than the one they were originally born as! (+ being turned into said species initially via some kind of magic!)

oh also, bonus drawing/original screenshot under the cut :3

he slays so hard in the outfit bro. go off king 🔥🔥

[rosetheocto]

Despite what I've heard you say about NFH's later writing and fluctuations in quality, are there any themes or dynamics you feel the series did pretty well?

Is this an excuse to talk about my second favorite Mario (or Mario-adjacent character) who becomes a chef after facing the consequences of his actions/screwing things up for people big time?? CUZ I’M TAKING THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT MY OVERLOOKED AND UNDERRATED KING!!! Chef Mario!!!!!

I think out of all the characters, he was written the most consistently and had a character arc that wasn’t really reset at all or retconned, it’s been a minute since I rewatched some of his episodes, so if I get something wrong that’s my bad, but I know for a fact that his arc is about finding happiness and fulfillment in the new life he has to live after the finale of Super Mario Series, and I love that for him!!

So some context: in Super Mario Series, Mario gets the title of being Hero of The Mushroom Kingdom. He’s in a relationship with Peach, things with his brother are going great, same with his friendships with Yoshi, DK, Toad, etc. BUUUUT Mario kinda starts to grow a bit of an ego, right? And eventually all he really cares about is just the victory against Bowser, which leads to him basically sacrificing all of his relationships to win the final battle… and that was a really stupid decision on his part. Rosalina straight up had to step in during the final fight and be like “genuinely that was such a dick move, what the hell dude??” LMAO

Basically Mario thinking he’s the shit led to his downfall, completing ruining his relationships and reputation… by all accounts, he’s at best a nobody and at worst hated by almost everyone who knew him… apart from two people, those being Bowser and Bowser Jr.. to say Chef Mario isn’t a fan of his new life at first is kind of an understatement. Like, just a month ago you’re the Hero of The Mushroom Kingdom and had the perfect life, but now your ex (who happens to be the Princess) hates you, your twin brother (who happens to be in a relationship with said Princess now and took your old title) ALSO hates you, and your friends, your allies, you’ve ruined things with them too…. And now you’re working for your old enemy because you can’t get a job anywhere else cuz you made a fatal decision that costed everything… like, that genuinely sucks!! It’s karma and pretty deserved, but still!!! And this isn’t even me gaslighting myself into thinking Chef Mario had this writing, Tripolar genuinely cooked here!!

Dare I say I even extend that to his dynamic with Bowser in general, cuz like, When Bowser’s first lover faked their death died not long after Junior was born, Bowser entered a deep depression. But, the events of SMS kinda helped him out with that grief, most notably through his rivalry with Mario!! Even though they were sworn enemies, Bowser was still thankful to Mario for helping him through a tough time, albeit unintentionally and through a way that wasn’t really conventional. When the SMS Finale happened and Mario ended up screwing himself over, fate ended up leading him right to Bowser, who (alongside Junior) offered to help Mario get back on his feet by having him join the Fun House as their chef… like dude. That’s genuinely so sweet tho?? They both helped each other out when they needed it most despite beefing with each other for YEARS. AAAGGHHH I LOVE THEM

But like, back to NFH itself. As the series goes on you just see Chef Mario slowly start to enjoy being in the Fun House after his Massive Wake-Up Call, and Junior and Bowser get more friendly with him too… alongside Mario developing a sort of friendship with Gill and Tyler and Sakawaka too… and yeah, sometimes he’s pushed to his limits. Occasionally he crashes out and leaves and goes back to his old habits, but at the end of the day he still cares about the Fun House and loves the people there and the thing that matters is HE LEARNS TO ENJOY HIS NEW LIFE DAMMIT!! Like during the era where Bowser dies, Mario has no hesitation in stepping up as the main parental figure for Junior. And hell, even when Bowser’s alive, Chef Mario still cares for Junior, not cuz it’s his job or he feels like he has to, but because he genuinely sees him as family!! IT’S SO SWEET!!!

[rosetheocto]

I would’ve killed to see an NFH Villains Spinoff Series (ESPECIALLY during the 6th House cuz that’s my fav season), you just know that Two-Eyes’ Minions would’ve gotten into all sorts of shenanigans under his nose when they aren’t trying to kill Junior and his friends LMAO

Also if this was real I like to think Alex would be the main person we follow through episodes… I know that’s unrealistic if this was an actual series cuz she’s a female character but a girl can dream 😔

[rosetheocto]

I HAD TO PUT THE DOOMED/TOXIC(?) FUN HOUSE YAOI IN MY MIITOPIA FILE I COULDN’T RESIST LMFAOOOO

[rosetheocto]

Spoken For (Mystery Man)

I’ve had this edit idea in my head for a while now and I finally decided to make it real!! The way Mystery Man has been treated throughout the years is honestly kinda interesting to me. He basically is just whatever Jack Tripolar wants him to be at the moment for the sake of the plot… which is a bit of a shame since he’s probably one of the most interesting characters that NFH has.

This might be obvious, but I think Mystery’s one of my favorite (if not my absolute favorite) NFH character. More specifically, him at the end of the 5th House and most of the 6th House, like before he got boiled down to just another villain, is just. ough. this guy’s actually really cool. Stuff like how even if his soul was under Two-Eyes’ contract, it’s made explicitly clear that he never wanted to hurt his family… he’s just fun to think about and “analyze” to me >_<
