Tis' the birthday! Reached a milestone... once again. Now the big 3-0. I would write a whole retrospective of my twenties, but it would take up multiple read mores, lol.

Let's just say, there were a lot of ups and downs. A whole dang roller coaster. Lots of positives happened, but also negatives, too. And in some rare cases, those negatives spun around into positives. Unexpected surprises were certainly a running theme in this decade.

It's wild that I can no longer say I'm in my twenties, but I still feel young, ahah. Still a long way from being considered a Gerson, that's for true...

Thus, we got Nerdling here contemplating how I'm already in my thirties, the only way he knows how. Silly Nerdling, you're supposed to eat the cake!

Another Year~

Nerdling: “GUESS WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT IS TODAAAAY~”

Kisno: “Ay! Where’d you come from? Don’t sneak up on me like that, I could’ve knocked on ya.”

Nerdling: “It’s fine, I just had to drop by and wish you a happy birthday!”

Kisno: “D’aaw, what? Thank you so much, you little pibb!”

Nerdling: All right, now lemme take this off- *Yanks at his strap*”

Kisno: “Hey! Hey! Don’t pull at my goggles, you’ll break them! What are you tryin’ to do?!”

Nerdling: “You need to put this blindfold on, and this cap, it’s your birthday and I’ve got a surprise for you!”

Kisno: “A surprise, huh? Hasn’t your grand entrance been a surprise enough?”

Nerdling: “No! But you’ll love this, I promise!”

Kisno: “Oh, fine. I can take off my own goggles, thanks. Gimme that thing, and- you can keep the cap.”

Nerdling: “It’s your birthday, you! >:3 *plops the cap on his head*”

Kisno: “Aw, come on! *adjusts his hair* All right, it’s on, blindfold’s on... You’re not pranking me, are you? April 1st is over, you know.”

Nerdllng: “Why would I prank my best friend? Here it is, you can look now!”

Kisno: “Gee, Nerdling! You... shouldn’t have. =w=“

Nerdling: “Weeeelll? Didn’t I tell ya? Isn’t it great?”

Kisno: “It’s... New Horizons?”

Nerdling: “C’mon! You know you wanna play it~ You can build your own island from the ground up!”

Kisno: “Fine, fine, I’ll give it a try!”

Have you heard of the “Koopa Bros” by any chance??

Kisno: SHUSDSSHHH!!! DON’T SAY THEIR NAME! HE’S GONNA HEAR YO-

Nerdling: I wrote my thesis on the Koopa Bros.!!!! There’s just so much you need to know about them.

Kisno: Anon! You woke the monster! I am going to tear you a new-

Nerdling: Did you know that each one has a nickname that’s based on their ranks?? Red goes by “Leader Bro,” Black goes by “Big Bro,” Yellow goes by “Kid Bro,” and Green goes by “Baby Bro!”

Did you know that Green went on to participate in a couple events, like racing? For a Troopa who seems all around shy, he’s pretty outgoing!

Sometimes I look at Koopa Red and think he’s the scariest but then I think of Koopa Black and his composure, and that’s what sets him apart from Red, because when you tick him off, oh boy, you’ll wish you’d never been born! He’s got a stare that can scare the daylights out of you!

Yellow’s notorious for having such a bottomless pit for a stomach! He can eat almost anything except eggs, and it’s so rare that he actually suffers from any sort of tummy ache!

We don’t see them in recent games ‘cause they do work a whole lot behind the scenes! Without them, who knows where Bowser would be? I mean- why can’t we have more of them?!

All this info is several years old by now- but I can write a whole new one if I learn more about how they are today! But lemme dive further into their backstory and-

Kisno: FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY, SOMEONE MAKE HIM STOP!

Do you admire your own padded paws?

Nerdling: …Well that’s kind of an odd ask… I uh, well, they’re definitely useful if I need to go anywhere rocky. Koopalings like myself don’t usually wear shoes.

Although the same can’t be said for Koopa Troopas, they don’t have padded feet, so that explains why they need to wear shoes. Admiring their usefulness, of course! Admiring them for- admiring them, uh, not really. ;v;

[askthenerdling]

Are you both boyfriends? lovers?

Kisno: Lovers? Well of course! I love messing with this Koop. He’s such a big ol’ ball of nerd, you can’t help but poke at him all the time and give him the ol’ spin-a-roo!

…As for your question, nah. We’re none of that, just friends bein’ friend.

Nerdling: Ki–i-i-i-i-i-snooo!! Pu-u-ut m-e-e- d-o-o-wn!!

Hey Nerdling, so I see you and Kisno are best friends. But I’m curious though, do you have a crush on him?😘

Nerdling: Okay… what can I say… we’ve known each other for a while… since we were young. And then we kinda drifted apart… now we’re back. When he popped up it was like- you know, I never forgot about him and now he’s here. I’ve always looked up to him… and he’s really cool.

I’m trying not to blush, too. But he’s seen that on me, especially when he gets all cheeky with me, heh… I think he needs to be here, ‘cause maybe I can tell him a little something…

[askthenerdling]

Kisno, show us what your eyes look like!

Kisno: Oh, now I’m part of this trope? Gee, figured I would get an ask like this sooner or later. I don’t have to hide them, I can show them off now and get it over with!

...But now this sounds like heaps of fun messing with ya, I’m in on this motif.

You wanna see ‘em? Fine. You just gotta catch me without them, or have my goggles fly off my head... what else is there- uh, be a special somebody, okay?

Kisno: Where’d you come from?! You don’t count! Go poke at that Roy guy with this, get out of ‘ere!

[askthenerdling]

I find the small Koopaling tasty, but the tall one doesn't look as appetizing.

Nerdling: ….I, don’t know how to answer this…? Uh, don’t eat me! >:( I prefer to live and not be steamed. And this isn’t the blog for that.

Kisno: Whaddya mean I’m “not as appetizing”..?

Nerdling: I won’t judge if that’s something you like, I just- don’t really like thinking about it!

Kisno: You don’t think shady anons would eat me..?

Nerdling: Maybe it’s the fact that you’ll never be seen again, I mean, how else can you survive that??

……

Kisno: I mean…. Yeah, what Nerd said. Not the blog for that.
