Name: Neo Bowser City (aka Koopa City in PAL regions)

Debut: Mario Kart 7

Do you ever think of all the weird locations we only ever see in Mario Kart games? Despite being the biggest of all of Mario's spin-off franchises, when you really get down to it, remarkably few Mario Kart courses are actually based on established Mario locations!

It's not none, there's the occasional Donut Plains and Tick-Tock Clock and Airship Fortress, but most of the courses are these weird one-off locations we never see outside the context of that specific racetrack.

But have you ever taken a moment to step back and like, think of the Lore Implications of some of these places?

Like okay! Bowser just owns this whole dang cyberpunk city and we only ever see it in the context of Kart Racing! How messed up is that?!

One day Mario and Friends were looking for new places to race, and Bowser must have said something like "Gwah-hah-hah! I bet you puny punks could NEVER beat me in a race in my cyberpunk metropolis!" and right then and there it was established that Bowser owns a cyberpunk metropolis. Neo Bowser City is a city that exists in the Super Mario World and aside from returning in other Mario Kart games, it hasn't been acknowledged before or since.

Neo Bowser City first appeared in Mario Kart 7, as the third course in the Star Cup. Despite its flashy visuals, it actually doesn't really have a whole lot going on. It's a difficult track with some tight turns made more difficult by the rain making things more slippery, but besides that it doesn't really have any of the Wacky Obstacles that define so many Mario Kart courses.

Then it returned in Mario Kart 8 looking more gorgeous than ever! The bright colors really pop out, and the whole track is just oozing with detail that really emphasizes the scale of this city!

But like, the emphasized scale really only further raises the question of where this exists in the Mario World. Clearly, the fact that Bowser is plastered all over the billboards and the fact it's named "Neo Bowser City" helps us deduce that this city probably belongs to Bowser. Is this located in Bowser's Kingdom? Just how big is Bowser's Kingdom? And why does he own so many separate castles?

Maybe Neo Bowser City exists in the future? Is this a bad timeline? I mean, Mario Kart is allowed to have time-travel shenanigans. There's a Splatoon battle arena and that exists thousands of years in the future so sure, dust off Mario's Time Machine and head to the bad future where Bowser wins. Should've pressed that New Super Mario Bros. big yellow P-Switch!

I asked my friend Mod Chikako for their input and their theory is that Neo Bowser City isn't the future of Mario's world, but of our world. Clearly Bowser just couldn't take Wreck-It-Ralph losing the Oscar vote!

But in that case I guess it's a cooler cyberpunk future than the one we're living in right now. Corporate monopolies that run mass-surveillance with little government intervention due to their extreme wealth giving them extensive political power? No thank you! Neo Bowser City has bright neon colors, and flying cars! If I'm going to live in a dystopia, I want it to be a fun one. The only advertisements I want to see plastered everywhere are ones advertising Bowser!

Boo! That's the bad guy! Thumbs down!

The course returns again in that pitiful mobile game with another redesign, this time letting us see his Coney Island Disco Palace off in the distance. Does Bowser live in his Neo City? Is this worldbuilding we've been missing out on for decades, finally answered by a kart racer? Is this the capital city of Bowser's Kingdom? Am I once again falling victim to my perpetual hubris of overthinking the Mario franchise?

Really, I can't offer too much in terms of wacky fan theories, because I'm still thinking about this location existing in the first place. I'd love to know the Lore and worldbuilding here, but I guess the nature of Mario's canon is that it doesn't need to be over-analyzed. Bowser simply owns a cyberpunk metropolis, we'll only ever see it in the context of kart racing, and maybe that's okay.

Of course, this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention Dinohattan from the 1993 Super Mario Bros. Movie, which we've barely talked about on this blog somehow. You see, when the meteor hit, some of the dinosaurs escaped into a parallel timeline where they then evolved into humans, and then they built Dinohattan instead of Manhattan. Get it? Yeah, that movie is all sorts of bonkers. I wouldn't say it's very good, but I kinda love it. I'd recommend checking it out, if only to see a vastly different take on Mario than you'd be used to.

Anyway I bring this up because it's a completely separate instance of a version of Bowser building a large cyberpunk metropolis, and it actually predates Neo Bowser City! Do you think they could be connected? Are Dinohattan and Neo Bowser City one and the same...?

#neo bowser city #mario kart 7 #weird mario locations #mario kart 8 #mod hooligon #really mod chikako also helped contribute a few jokes to this post i gotta credit them #i've had this post sitting in the drafts for over a year and a half #no clue why i took so long to publish it it's basically been fully complete this whole time

Also weird how before the trailer viv was always tweeting to hyper her show up with gifs that had animation errors before the finished product... Like with an attentative view from the sidelines it's a wonder why she's purposefully choosing the shittiest shots with obvious fucking errors or mistakes that could've and will be fixed but like.... this shit has been in production for 4 years I'd hope that they would have cleaned it up and been a bit more careful unlike Helluva Boss....

#im aware that they fixed the fizzarolli error but she still tweeted it with full confidence like nothing #the overlord shot looks fucking miffed and weird in perspective although i think thats mainly missi's size tbh #most of these are small but agaij #why make the trailer or the teaser if it wasnt finished ????#anti vivziepop #hazbin hotel critical #creatively i think the eyes over the hair even being in vivs' style is weird because why is vaggies hair covering her eye and not charlies?#idk let me know what you think #hazbin looks like overproduced garbage to me #explaining each animation error in tags here;#fizzies tail dissapears in a promotional tweet they later fixed in episode #vaggie is layered on top of her hair and the golden fence shes leaning against #charlies eyes just looking to be layered to weirdly that nobody can make up their mind in style if it goes under her bang or not #the overlords' perspective is horrible #husk and angel 'holding hands' layering issue #vaggid disappears for a frame and charlie runs up to a incorrect layered staircase not properly shown in shot *for promotional #glitz and glams' legs being layered weirdly and the coloring is off. its small i understand but its just as important as their role ♡#if you want credit for the people who originally pointed these out i can includd that if you wish^^#also im not surprised theres many character details/layering issues the crew has its honestly okay #i expected it when it got greenlit but i didnt think it would be this extreme/noticable :x #helluva boss critical

if it's not too much trouble - could you make some genderqueer, intersex, and transmasc + transfem flags? thank u, love your blog! : ]

Thank u so much for the compliments, and I am sorry I was so late with these! I am still working on the intersex flag since its a different template than these. I hope I used the right transfem/transmasc flags since there are a few variations.

tw blood, gore

My Heaven

sh1 locations usually don't get much recognition so i feel like adding some explanatory notes on it (just in case)

the place is the secret chamber in Green Lion Antiques where distracted from prayer alessa is having a tender moment gazing at the point where God's painting is supposed to be

(GOD- IM TRULY BEWITCHED BY THIS GAME THE WAY IT NEVER THROWS STRAIGHT FACTS IN UR FACE AND WISELY KEEPS ATMOSPHERE OF UNDERSTATEMENT TILL THE VERY END SO FKING CHARMING–)

whatever ceremonial stuff it is, it had started to burn before one of harry's passing out

and due to perspective in my drawing alessa stands directly on it ..

i'd like to sum up the post w little art comparison bc i also pursued the goal to redraw one of my old drawings

the first one is pretty rough for sure still luv both of them tho

june 2021 august 2022

seems like i had come to better understanding of what im trying to achieve in terms of composition COLORS and whatnot

ьььь

#silent hill #alessa gillespie #dahlia gillespie #unnamed members of the Order. dahlia's gang in short #incubator #incubus #since it's his actual birth scene #damn haven't posted anything serious in a while .. time during summer when i was deciding on ideas for zine almost feels like a past life #made the choice for a reason y'all already know how Normal i am abt sh1 <33 #although people tend to associate it exclusively w harry or/and lisa which IS fine still sad alessa rarely gets any credit............#prolly mentioned it before idk but at the very core it's HER game #meanwhile harry is just a witness who brings us into the loop of the story #(not mocking anyone !! tho in that case harry is basically player's eyes and ears)#drawing special attention to My Heaven soundtrack game's ost is hella gud in general but this one f u c k s #oh the moment when i just realized those weird noises are actually roar of alessa's intense s c r e a m s on horribly twisted frequencies #and the God himself is grotesque embodiment of her mental and physical suffering #not to be dramatic but back then i came to sudden realization that i'll never be the same.............#tw blood #tw gore #my art

image I.D. below the cut

image description start:

[a promotional picture of Sam and Dean Winchester, Sam on the left and Dean on the right, their images from circa 2010. They both stare challengingly into the camera with their arms crossed, though Dean also holds a large blade. The background is a two lane blacktop with an older style of power line and corn on either side. At the top and bottom are flames. Sam says "im restricting", Dean says "and im bingeing" and the flaming text gif at the bottom reads "the eating disorder brothers.]

image description end.

#theyre both so unwell #grew up in a financially unstable environment and coped opposite ways.#and i left it broad on purpose bc theres a lot of ways you can interpret their weird shit about food #bc i too am deeply unwell i counted every time sam eats on screen (not sits next to a plate of food–actually puts it in his mouth) and its #22 times. less than twice a season. i realize this could be in large part bc jared didnt want to have to act that but im choosing to Believe #not in him but my mentally ill agenda. bc you wanna look at me and say that hes totally normal aboht this when he has a guilt complex #autonomy issues a holdup with purity/cleanliness a boatload of self-loathing and an obsession with control.#and this feels familiar so just message or comment for credit or removal :)#i dont mean to plagiarize #also i didnt talk about it much but. dean definitely sees food as an assurance of safety and turns to it when under duress to the point of #excess. and also gets very specific and protective/territorial about his food.#so.#this is a silly meme but there are so many thoughts behind it #sam winchester #dean winchester #spn #ed mention

Judge's Choice Pre-Bracket (Round 2)!

phiganda and santaganda under the cut!

phiganda:

because #feminism and also she’s from a series that needs a lot more appreciation:-)

santaganda (999 edition):

He's got a cocky and too-cool-for-this attitude, while also being kind of short-tempered and petty. He's not an entirely bad guy, but he's very aloof, and not quick to trust others. "All right, I'm gonna be [Santa]. Any of you chumps know Japanese? No? Well, "san" means "3". So I'll be Santa. You know, like Santa Claus. Fits, don'tcha think?"

He went viral around tumblr one time because someone tagged a post saying "of course you have white hair and trauma" with just "Santa" and people didn't know the person meant Santa Zero Escape, who does NOT live in the north pole and deliver presents to children :) He does talk about Santa at one point though. But mostly as a metaphor for his trauma and a connection to his past, and "Santa" is a codename. Santa Zero Escape is one of 9 people who get trapped in a life or death game. He's a little foulmouthed and pushes everyone to escape as soon as possible, but he has secrets and a reason for being there (just like all the other characters!!!) and he's horribly traumatized and would do literally anything for his dead sister. I love him so much. I'm avoiding giving away TOO many spoilers just in case but god. This guy. He's so tragic.

trans

#phi #ztd #zero time dilemma #virtue's last reward #whambracket #pre-bracket poll #nonary games pvp less go #sorry abt the weird credit i lost the gif #santa #aoi kurashiki #999 #BLOWS MYSELF UP FOR FORGETTING TO TAG HIM

If I had a nickel for every time a song with the same word³ changed the trajectory of my life, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

(this is about PON PON PON and CHA CHA CHA)

wait it's been 12 years since i discovered the pon pon pon mv on yt and 12 years later i've found my new hyper obsession (˶ > ₃ < ˶)♡

#pon pon pon ACTUALLY rewired my brain at age 12.#i stopped listening to kpp bc i heard some rumours (?) so i limit my listening but sometimes i return bc it brings me sm positive nostalgia #i credit her for inspiring my music and fashion choices from that early age like that was my entrance into loving music #i remember how 'weird' it was considered at the time and i feel like now that's just the norm #at least to me but mayb i'm desensitised #i loved jpop before the kpop and i've been exposed to so many genres bc of this journey #also cha cha cha is just a different brand of weird #anyway they mothered and fathered me <33 #24 year old me smiles at 12 year old me #personal
