So like….if your fanart of you and Mario came up on my dashboard and I thought it was super super adorable and I wanted to know more about the self insert oc you have in that universe…would you tell me??? 🙈🙈🙈

YES OF COURSE OH MY GOD !!!;&:&?848939?

okay, so whenever I draw my silly little pictures I have two self inserts- a vampire and the mushroom girl that I’ll use and sometimes it’s just myself; here’s an example of each

Usually when I depict myself directly the artwork is more personal, usually for comfort or for vents or my like. Real world relationship with the character if that makes sense but moving on.

(Also just for simplicity sake I refer to my s/is in the third person but they are all just. Me but with a few little bonus features Y’know?)

So the first one is called Princess Ironfang, and she’s a vampire princess right. She’s my oldest Mario s/i dating back to around 2021?

Her like. Lore I guess is more heavily tied to the games. And by that I mean I’ve got an entire game planned out. In my head. But she lives in this like. Haunted castle and it looms ominously over the mushroom kingdom right. So it’d be like, a Luigi’s mansion style game. But basically the story is that Mario and Luigi mess up her ghosts and goblins and whatever and it starts a bit of a riff between her and Mario specifically- due to this she teams up with bowser just to get on his nerves but anyway, it’s only like. Later down the line when they have to team up to save Luigi do they start to get along. There’s a few details I’ve left out but that’s like the jist of it. But, she’s been benched as of late in favour of the new girl who I’m absolutely in love with

Mushroom girl 😈😈 her full name is Staci A. Compestrist (all my s/is have my name) and I prefer her a lot more since I feel she’s a more accurate depiction of my personality compared to Ironfang. Im still working on her design but I’ve got her story mostly figured out and it’s more centred around the movie (but it’s also applicable to the games and in my head I kinda. mesh the two together. Not important)

But she acts as a sort of lady in waiting and bodyguard for Princess Peach, she’s like. Her right hand woman or whatever idk. She’s very protective of the princess and initially sees Mario as a major threat to her safety so they don’t get along at first before eventually growing closer. Like I said she’s a reflection of myself so although she’s generally friendly, she’s also quite short tempered and stubborn and can be hard to win over. She’s not really a good bodyguard, and she’s more so just a really close friend of the princess who’s kept near by. I’ve projected a lot more onto her than I did Ironfang which is probably why I favour her more eughf

THA K YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME RAMBLE THOUGHHFF ARAHHHHHHH I love putting myself into the media I consume and I love constructing elaborate stories and lore for my self inserts and it feels great to have people take interest in the stuff I’m doing gahhh !!!!))?

#sorry for being so un normal about this but it’s just !!!#SO NICE to have someone ask #selfship #self insert #super mario oc #self shipping #♡.mail box

Hey! Not counting Babylon 5 and Buffy, please give me a list of like 5(?) movies/games/anything that you highly recommend!

I don’t know how I could possibly whittle it to 5! I love an awful lot of stuff. I wrote this super long rec list with like 50 things, but I’ll keep the number lower as not to overwhelm you. Know this isn’t nearly all the things I love, and there are plenty more recs where these come from. For now I’ll try to pick a variety.

1, Psychonauts by Double Fine. If you buy a lot of humble bundles youprobably already own it. It’s a platforming adventure game about akid who runs away from the circus to attend a psychic summer camp.The art style is unique, the story is interesting, but above all…the writing is superb. It’s very funny with well drawn characters.If you have the chance, grab it on Steam or GOG (or xbox and ps2) andenjoy 8 hours of feel-good adventure.

2, Skullduggery Pleasant - Dark comedey/adventure/mystery book series about a skeleton detective going on magical adventures inmodern day ireland. It’s told mostly from the point of view of histeenage sidekick (excuse me, battle accessory) Valkyrie Cain who is anewcomer to this magical world after her favorite uncle wills her hishouse (and all his friends including Skul). Each book features quips,cleverness, and magic and explores new facets of the worldSkulduggery inhabits with off the wall characters, end of the worldscenarios, and one of the most unique magic systems I’veencountered. I highly recommend this series to anyone who liked HarryPotter but wished it was more like the Dresden Files.

4, Steam Powered Giraffe - This group of musical robotsis part stage performance, part rich comic lore, part folk/pop/rockgroup. The performers, themselves, take on robot characters that theyperform as on stage. The personalities of the robots come through inthe songs they sing and story notes on their website and in theongoing comic book. They’ve got 5 studio albums, 1 live album, a bunch of music videos and full-length shows up on youtube, AND they’re getting ready to launch their 10 yearanniversary show, there’s no better time to get into the singingrobot band.

4, Gregory Horror Show - This obscure cgi “anime”is a series of 2 minutes shorts with off-the-wall characters andheavy introspective themes. It’s a bit goofy looking at first, butstick with it.The characters become varied and more bizarre the deeper you get. The first season is told from a first person point of view of a guest at the hotel, and begs the question whether the fellow guests are real or if they’re aspects of a tortured mind. Each season can be completed in about 2 hours and will give you lots of to think about in that time. You’’ll be asking yourself what the weight of yoursoul is soon enough.

5, Repo the Genetic Opera - Not for the squeamish, thishard-core screen musical is by the guy who made the 3rd and 4th SAWmovies. It’s about a world where widespread organ failures havefostered a world of commercial surgery where transplanted organs canbe repossessed like cars. Lead character is Shiloh, a 17 year-old girl living with a blood disease that sequesters her from society, and her father Nathan Wallace who takes a job as a repo man while haunted by memories of his dead wife, her mother. it’s dank and goth/punk and melodramaticas hell. If you’re a Buffy fan additional draw - Giles is in it!Singing with a halfway believable american accent! This is actuallywhere I met Tony first

If you want more information hunt the links on my blog (there’s probably a ton of fanart. Warning for possible spoilers) or send me a note. I can provide watch links for any of thesethings, or if youwant other recommendations along these lines I can help with thattoo.

And of course there’s always my own book that Iwrote, Threadcaster, whichyou can find on Kindle and Amazon.

It’s a YA novel andseries of tie-in short stories about a young girl on an adventure toransom her pissed off and absent god back to her dying world becauseher friend is slowly turning to stone. You can learn more about it atwww.threadcaster.com @threadcaster

PS- GO WATCH BABYLON 5 IT IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER AND YOU’LLTHANK ME/ CURSE ME FOR IT LATER

#jen replies #recommendations #I realize I love too many things #and I love them very hard #so it was extremely difficult to pick one thing over the other #my ask box is always open #psychonauts #steam powered giraffe #gregory horror show #repo the genetic opera #skulduggery pleasant #deadpansal
