This blog has focused a lot on character names in the past, but have you ever wondered about how the most important name in the series came to be?
In 1985, brothers Dene and Simon Carter had an idea for a game.
After the brothers (Big Blue Box) joined forces with Peter Molyneux (Bullfrog Productions) "The Game" started being referred jokingly to as "Thingy", and even as "Jesus 2000".
With the founding of Lionhead Studios, the ideas of the player changing the world around them with their choices solidified into a project called "Wishworld", a strategy game set into an Academy for wizards. The same project's name was later changed in 1999 to "Godslayer" and later simply referred to as "Heroes".
In 2000, Peter Molyneux suggested the project focused on one single wizard, affecting and changing the world through his choices, and renamed it "Merlin".
In 2001, the team ideas and concept of morality and choice based story progression had solidified in "Project EGO".
Finally, in 2004, the "Fable" we now know and love was released!

I was just randomly hanging out on tumblr and an even more random question popped into my head for the Changeling boys + Nora, Spencer, and Ally if you can- (Because I have yet to play Gilded Shadows) I'm curious- Do they have a favorite type of flower? If so, do they prefer a specific type of color over the others?
I don't really have favourite flowers for them (realistically most of them probably know nothing about flowers and would awkwardly say they like daisies.)
I always have mixed feelings about how to approach asks about random trivia (such as favourites like this).
Sometimes I have obscure trivia about characters (like favourite ice cream or flowers) but if I'm being realistic - a lot of times I just don't. It's not relevant to the story and most of my character development focus is in regards to what I need to develop for story purposes. With certain characters - like Ewan - I can surmise that he probably has an innate love for some kind of Faerie flower - like bluebells.
And Nora probably likes something like snowdrops. Marc seems like a 'rose' kind of guy.
But for characters like Elliot or Danny, anything you come up with is just as valid as whatever I come up with (and even if I made up an answer on the spot right now I wouldn't remember it later ha ha). I mean, Elliot probably would awkwardly say 'daisies' because it's the only flower he can think of on the spot. 🤣🤣 I don't think it's really his favourite though.
It's probably not a satisfactory answer but at some point I realised it's more honest of me to encourage people to head canon these things for themselves rather than make something up on the spot and randomly declare it as canon. 💖💖

Heys!
It’s been quite a while since I, the admin, last posted on this blog... but ever since I heard Shroob laughter in one of my sound file folders while randomly listening to it recently, BOOM! I suddenly started hyperfixating on Shroobs again, which led to the following. ;)
Last week, I published a new fanfic that features Shroobs! One con about it is that it’s not at all related to Successfully Shroobified, but it does, however, feature some of its characters (such as the Sakamoto twins) as extras or small roles! You can click here to read the fanfic, but be wary as it contains spoilers for both Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. Said fic describes how the remaining Shroobs ended up in the cryogenic chamber in Bowser’s Castle in Bowser’s Inside Story.
And with that, I’d also like to introduce you to three new characters, who are also the protagonist and deuteragonists of said fanfic! :)
Trivia about... Chant, Nita and Todd.
Chant
Full name: Chantelle Jay Briney
Age: 17
Gender: female (she/her)
Race: Support Shroob
Most notable details: modest layer of mascara on her eyelashes, freckles, feisty yet confident personality, her naïveté
Likes: her older sibling and their best friend, board games, card games, ballet, gymnastics, painting, chillwave music, the Shroob princesses, horror comedy shows
Dislikes: humans, anyone harming her older sibling and their best friend, being hazed, school, maths, not being taken seriously, anyone stressing over nothing, fellow Support Shroobs not listening to the(ir) commander
—
“I quit the boring excuse of high school early to focus on becoming a Support Shroob in the royal army of Shroob Castle, under the commanders’ wings. As I enrolled the amateurs, I was quickly proven to be a very skilled fighter and an avid listener to commands, and thus I rose up the ranks pretty quickly, of which many approved but were also remarkably surprised. Yes, I did help fight four specific humans when one of our commanders ambushed them, but I did have to be wary of their hammers and shoes, which I could fortunately easily evade, unlike most of my fellow Support Shroobs. The perks of paying very close attention during ballet and gymnastics at a very young age, am I right?
As a young child, my parents and some other family members used to call me Chuchu… ridiculous, ain’t it? Do I really look like those blobby, big-eyed monsters that hail from Hyrule? Not at all! I may be cute, but I look nothing like those Chuchus, no matter how cute you think they are! To be honest, I think my older sibling picked a significantly more fitting nickname for me when I was only just born. Chant, that’s me, alright?”
-----
Nita
Full name: Amanita Auburn Briney
Age: 20
Gender: non-binary/genderless (they/them)
Race: ‘regular’ Shroob
Most notable details: a very easy-going personality, green four-leaf clover bracelets on both of their wrists
Likes: their younger sister, their best friend, helping fellow Shroobs out, art, science, the Shroob princesses, the colour green, ballet, reading, four-leaf clovers
Dislikes: humans, anyone harming their younger sister and best friend, anyone criticising their best friend, not being taken seriously, not being listened to
—
“I’m not one to be stubborn and immediately disagree with others’ ideas, but I do have to know the full information behind someone’s idea before agreeing with it.
I’m a proponent of the Shroob princesses’ hierarchy and it to continue existing, even if we did have to flee to Earth upon discovering that our home planet was at the verge of extinction. I do anything to protect our two leaders, even if it means to sacrifice myself to evil factions who are only trying to get rid of us anyway… of which my younger sister and best friend probably don’t approve. Oh well.
My best friend and I have known one another since we were both still aged 2, and ever since, we never left one another’s side to protect each other from any type of harm. The world will always be full of any sorts of troubles that anyone has to face, after all.
Oh, and my younger sister and I are also the maternal second cousins of John and his siblings. They and their parents are very friendly!”
-----
Todd
Full name: Todney Harold Benningwater
Age: 20
Gender: male (he/him)
Race: ‘regular’ Shroob
Most notable details: bandages around his arms and wrists, band-aids on his cap and next to his left eye, autism and situational mutism
Likes: his best friend and their younger sister, drawing, writing, crackers, dark chocolate, cooking, artisan cooking, baking, building cakes, being praised for his dishes, the Shroob princesses, listening to ambient sounds, lo-fi music, playing the piano, his extended family, science, physics
Dislikes: humans, his school days, being hazed, being criticised, being mocked for using sign language when he’s mute, being considered childish, loud noises, anyone harming his best friend and their younger sister, loud children, thunderstorms, fireworks
—
“...”
(Todd has yet to know us better, but he doesn’t mind me interpreting his sign language now. Even if it’s Shroob sign language, I still understand it quite well.
Todd is Nita’s best friend, and he has known them ever since they were both aged 2. Back then at the playgroup, the majority of the other toddlers considered Todd an oddball, except for Nita, who felt bad for nobody choosing to play with him, gradually resulting in the two of them becoming (and still remaining) best friends to this day and protecting one another from even the worst of harm.
As soon as Todd graduated from high school, he did not bother to enroll college or the university and immediately joined the cooking team in Shroob Castle, where he was quickly proven to be a very skilled self-taught cook, judging from the fact that the other cooks and (pastry) chefs and even the two Shroob princesses immediately praised him for his artisan dishes, which they still continue to do nowadays. Todd is still in training, but he has a very good focus once he knows what to do in the kitchen.
Did you know that Pit, the youngest servant in Shroob Castle, is Todd’s youngest paternal cousin? On the contrary, he is also their oldest cousin. In fact, the entire Benningwater family (Todd’s father, Kevyn, has 9 younger siblings, of whom his youngest, Olimarina, is Pit’s mother) has been born and raised in Shroob Castle, where the vast majority of them now works under the Shroob princesses’ wings as several occupations. It surely does run in the family, huh?)

what is the town that Mochi and Slick are from like?
Whilst I never decided on an exact, precise location of where it would be, but I imagined the size and climate of it. Just for a vague idea, I’m assuming they’d be somewhere on this bit of peninsula.
Arrecife (arr-ah-see-fay) is a small suburban town plopped somewhere in the desert scrubs. It’s small enough for basically anyone to know each other but large enough to have people traveling stop by for a short bit of time. It’s not super exciting, but people pass through it while on long trips to the larger cities dotted around it. Lots is mom-and-pop shops, but also larger franchises sprinkled everywhere.
Weather is quite unpleasant, but that’s probably why the housing is cheap. It’s hot, humid, and devoid of rain, however that doesn’t stop the children from playing outside. Everyone from the area has some form of tan, just because of the sheer amount of sun. Winter brings more pleasant weather, sometimes rain. Slick and Mochi were surprised by how much cooler Inkadia was in comparison, let alone how it actually rained and snowed. Sometimes the two joke about people from outside Arrecife would think it’s a fire pit, but it just means the two are comfortable while everyone else is dying from the heat.
Old, sloppy art:
