LANGUAGE LEARNING PAC: WHICH LANGUAGE SHOULD YOU LEARN?
Row 1: ♤ Knight of Cups ♤ JAPANESE ♤ 日本語 ♤ にほんご ♤
Japanese is a highly intuitive language with plenty of words which don't translate properly to English to describe unique emotions and cultural practices such as forest bathing and viewing the sakura blossom in spring. Japanese onomatopoeia also requires you to use emotional intuition and with the fluid energy of the knight of cups flowing your way you will enjoy immersing yourself in a beautiful language and culture.
Row 2: ♡ Ace of Swords ♡ MANDARIN ♡ 中文 ♡ 汉语 ♡ 普通话
With a sharp intellect, you relish a challenge and as a result you will love Mandarin, which uses characters instead of a full alphabet. Mandarin is part of the Sino Tibetan language family and is spoken as the official language in Mainland China as well as places like Singapore and amongst the Chinese diaspora. Learning characters might appear daunting at first, but that intellectual energy is flowing your way and you are totally in your element here!
Row 3: ☆ 10 of Coins ☆ KOREAN ☆ 한국어 ☆ 韩国语
An agglutinative language with a SOV structure, the now disproven Altaic hypothesis proposed a distant link between Korean and Mongolian. The Korean language is now believed to be totally unique and with KPop and KDrama this is your gateway to a totally different world, from the female-centric shamanistic mudang practices in The Cursed to the class and beauty of modern Seoul and Korean history in Hotel del Luna. Korean is a language which can broaden your horizons and make you want to travel, and then ten of coins indicates this language can bring a turning point in the material world around you.

I would like to hear your in-depth thoughts on O'Chunks, Count Bleck, and Super Paper Mario as a whole!
Woah this is just gonna be a big ramble on how much I love the game and why.
I’m gonna start with Super Paper Mario as a whole, I’m a really big fan and I have been since maybe around 2016 or so. I was vaguely aware of it as a kid but after watching a cosplay chess (its where you get a bunch of cosplayers to roleplay and they’re on a big chessboard and they act out in character to defeat each other until there’s a winner or sometimes even a subversion of plot) video that had a Dimentio cosplayer in it I decided to look into the game. By that point I was no stranger to jester characters, I used to rewatch the Marx fight from Kirby Super Star Ultra all of the time so I was immediately going through SPM play throughs, fanfic, fanart. It’s a game I seem to be thinking about all of the time for months and years on end without a break lol. It admittedly catches my attention more than the other Paper Mario games, I’m not sure why, perhaps because it’s so visually different in aesthetic and character design. I enjoy its silly moments and it’s dramatic lore, but I also have a very specific issue with some parts of the lore being vague in Carson’s stories specifically. He’s always ending his stories in a question or talking about how much of a mystery these stories are. Maybe it’s on purpose and maybe this is also wishful thinking on my end, but sometimes I theorize that maybe they were going to reuse some of SPM’s lore for another game. I uhhh can’t say much about the game play because I’ve been enjoying SPM through play throughs.
On to O’ Chunks!
I think he’s in last place in terms of fandom popularity in terms of the Castle Bleck cast. Honestly I sort of get it, he’s not conventionally attractive and most artists sort of struggle with drawing older, bald, and bearded characters. Especially back in 2007 when the game was released when the anime art style was very popular on Deviantart. You could turn everyone else in castle bleck into a cutesy attractive anime character since their designs are just vaguely human enough for you to make your own little interpretations but with O’ Chunks you can clearly see he has a very human design so you can’t really make a Gijinka of him like you could the others. I think there’s something cool yet funny about that though, like he’s some unchanging force throughout everyone’s interpretation of the cast. (But I think it would be really cool as well to see people stray from his main design and interpret his design in the same way people would the rest of castle bleck)
He’s played off as sort of a joke character and then you read up on Carson’s stories of him and then it’s all like Woahh this is the same dude we’re talking about?? Funny characters that are secretly tragic is a trope I really like.
I think it’s really silly how everyone plays into his “chunking” catchphrases like Count Bleck saying: "Very well, O'Chunks. I'll leave the hero-chunking to you. Do not fail Count Bleck." Or Dimentio saying: "Mmm... I do enjoy a good chunking...", it’s really fun that the other characters are willing to hype up O’ Chunk’s catchphrases.
Also I think everyone sort of just glossed over the fact O’ Chunks was begging to die because he didn’t want to go back to Count Bleck and tell him he got defeated for the second time and only changed his mind after Dimentio shows up and talks a bit and afterwards he’s all like: “yeah I wouldn’t kill myself unless the count told me to.”
In conclusion he’s a really cool and underrated character and I like him a lot!! (If you couldn’t already tell by the blog theme and name lol)
Finally on to Count Bleck!
Wahhhh I love his lore and story it’s sooo bittersweet I want to fall to my knees dramatically anytime I think of it. He definitely seems like the type of guy that thought he didn’t care about his crew and everything they’re all doing was purely business because he’s just so caught up in his whole depressive world ending shenanigans that by chapter 8 he’s sort of surprised that he likes his minions as much as they do.
He’s still very much a bad guy, wiping out whole worlds and also lying to his very loyal group about making a way cooler world afterwards, and also on top of that even manipulating some of his minions unfortunate circumstances to get them on his team. (I.E: O’ Chunks) but I will let it slide this time because he’s a cool character to me.
All the memory sections of the game are so cute until it hits chapter six and then it’s like….ouch my feelings. He was mourning her so bad he would’ve unknowingly killed her if he’d succeeded, damn. But he didn’t so they got their nice little happy ending, and they’re just so cute together yaayyy!! (I’m in love with the picture of them under the tree at the end of the credits and I totally start to tear up when I see it with the credits music)
He’s a really interesting character and I can’t find myself finding another Mario character that inflicts this same emotions his lore gave me.
