I decided to restart my Earthbound save file and do an ultra violence route.

Beating up everything is really cathartic.

#beating up sharks is fucking awesome #i should've gone super violent on my first run #everything dies #it doesn't matter if it runs away #ness is the next doom guy #rip and tear until it's done #man I should've put as my favorite thing “ripping” #once I put “gyigas” as my favorite thing lmao

Porky is easily one of the best fictional villains ever to me because like, his motivations are so extremely human but they drove him to complete inhumanity

He became disgusting and cruel because of completely normal understandable normal human feelings. Envy, pain, cowardice, simple survival instincts drove him to be the perfect host for gyigas

I'm obseseeeeeeeeeeeesssed with it

#talkin #Most fascinating villain arc of all time #I'm playing through earthbound again

I just had a thought that was terrifying.

So having Paula dead during the final phase of the Gyigas fight inevitably sucks because she's needed to defeat Gyigas by praying; but, imagine the fridge horror of Ness and the Chosen Four, slowly getting picked off one by one, in the dark, far away from home, facing a being of sheer terror and fear.

I know it's just a random circumstance especially if you're unlucky and unable to heal/revive Paula; but still...

#long time since I've talked about EarthBound huh #but that thought just occurred to me now #EarthBound #Mother #Mother 2 #tw: horror

Wondering if I should just, write and post here my whole essay about how abstract evil and human evil is represented in earthbound by Gyigas, Porky, and the rest of the cast present on the games. 

#earthbound #theory stuff #Been thinking about it for a while #I'm way to lazy to make it into a video.

I remember when Numbered List videos were pretty strictly a Guy thing. Top ten saddest moments in videogames, top ten Final bosses, top ten this and that in movies.

The fundamental appeal of the top 10 video when applied to popular media was that a charismatic host would showcase his opinions as mathematical fact and people would either adhere or be against the canon. The culture around those videos is how fandom dogma such as Gyigas is the most creepy disturbing boss ever were formed. They were like the precursor but also the polar opposite of the modern video essay, in that it was videos in which gamers discussed "Why" games were what they were but they were also not in any sense essays

I almost forgot what playing mother was like in its entirety so I went to check out the screenshots I took during the playthrough

I See

#SOME WACKY WACKY SHIT GOING DOWN #also i just like the orb gyigas or however his bame is spelled. the g keysmash #birth #having him go into pure evil mode was fun too but ehh..... nah no. not. as fun like aksnkmsk #this is my uncle alien #bitch mantis #earthbound

[sanguchito]

okay incoming rambles and long post of many thoughts i had while i was playing earthbound and after finishing it, im writing them because id like to register them in some way........

i dont know much about these games in general and i learned the hard way that some weapons fucking suck

funniest shit in the entire game, i think about it at least once a day

ness missing his home was an extremely important detail to me, from the beginning its always about how hes a very strong boy, he’ll go out there even if his mom forbids it, he will find a way, he will come victorious in the end, but he’s still just a kid with a loving family and he’s never been away from them this long, BROKE my heart the first time he felt homesick in battle and lost his motivation

when i was stuck in moonside with all the weird shit, paula kidnapped, and called mom to cure the nostalgia, i got the dialogue where she says she can barely hear him and right away hangs up bc shes busy with king’s fleas.... ouch!

that poor little exit mouse spent most of the game stored by tracy 😭😭😭😭😭 i was NOT good at treating him like one of my items

i was a little upset when i realized i did the final sanctuaries out of order bc they escalate in difficulty but when i was done with those i realized i never did lilliput steps!!!!! the second one!!!!! bc i was getting my ass kicked by bears and i got upset and left!!!!!wergwrg that was funny though

as they went by, ness’ visions when he reached a sanctuary like, had more impact i think, at first it was like yeah hes seeing somethings from his infancy but near the end they started hitting me harder i guess, the vision of his own mom holding him and such

i forgot abt it and then it took me a while to realize all the sanctuary melodies where a single one split into pieces, i cant articulate very well how i felt other than very moved...

‘the place’ fucking sucked! one battle where the starman attacks before paula makes a shield and boom everyone fucking died, getting all the way to giygas took me so long gtxrghshe

i guess since being the ‘chosen one’ is a common thing for literally any kind of story, i kind of was like not caring much about all the things like ooh the prophecy talks about a boy named ness and you know, all that, and its in the later parts of the game, including the visions at the santuaries and of course magicant my thought did change, but there was nothing like transferring your soul into a machine, traveling several years to the past to kill giygas in his deranged conscienceless state, and when you get there hes waiting for you, wearing your face... using your personal attacks...

that final fight was NOT fun 😭 after getting porky out of the way i could not keep the party alive at allllllllll, and it took me so long to realized what i had to do!!!!! everyone was dead all the time except for ness and when i tried to revive them they were gone the next turn, i also thought that since they give you that insane power up when you get out of magicant maybe ness had to give giygas the final blow or something idk and the music was so fucking insane. i revived paula and then realized she had no hp so i said what the hell and prayed and waaaaa it worked and they she got killed again and could not her to do it again 💔💔💔💔💔 i had to try one more time and well it worked then 💕 and i cried sooooooo much with everyone praying (mom😭) and when the game asks you to pray with paula WTFFFF i cried harder, it felt like the polar opposite of making kris force noelle to kill everyone in ch 2

it was kinda sad killing giygas like yes evil but its state was so pathetic it felt like torture but also like at this point gyigas is barely ‘alive’ or even wants to live at all, very weird

the ending was so so fast, they literally get up from the floor after the fight and say goodbye 😭

by the end when you get to roam around before it all ends theres so many npcs that have the exact same dialogue at the beginning, it really hammers down to me how you just went through this completely insane dangerous experience and literally saved the universe and how it was so imperceptible to everyone else, like yeah some animals and  people acted very strange but to almost everyone that was both the beginning and the end of the danger and threats. It did have an impact in many people that you met along the way, and that you had to work together with, its very clear how the world at large has no idea what happened.

i loved it!!! and i want to play the other titles so bad!!

Only true ogs (WHO I HOPE NONE OF ARE FOLLOWING ME RN) remember the gyigas ness au I made when I was like, what, 12? 13?

Gentlefolk, the precursor to my OC Martin. An edgy Ness.

#gore tw #ness earthbound #earthbound #ness #so like #the deal with that au was that gyigas was never truly defeated #he just attached to Ness when he was returning home #eventually all the power of gyigas begins to manifest in Ness and it causes his body to never really be able to die #but also not heal #so thats why he has open wounds everywhere #he ends up killing ppl n stuff pretty basic au shit #he just looks like a zombie thats not rotting. just bleeding. #the reason i say hes a precursor to martin is bc their stories are actually kinda similar #weird entity haunts a boy and it causes him to never be able to die and also makes him go insane which ends up in him killing someone #the context for each is pretty different but #the similarities are there

[zharizard666]

Sometimes I see the stuff artists first made when they got into earthbound and how wholesome it is and then cringe internally because the first thing I shared with the internet was a scruffy british boy being haunted by latina gyigas.

I have a headcannon to Mother 3's TaneTane island mushrooms and the magypsies

Spoiler alert for mother 3 and Mother 1

Both Magypsies and the mushrooms come from Mother 1's magicant

I mean they are purple like most of magicant and the magypsies have pinkish hair too

And the acid trip is sort of Mother 3's magicant (a bizzare purplish/pink place that is essentially the representation of your soul)

And Lucas has a hallucination mentioning gyigas and I don't think Lucas and the party are aware of his existence, unless these mushrooms are from magicant or some sort of residue of the place and in some way, Maria's memories are seeping into these mushrooms

Interestingly enough the magypsy who's most present and most involved with Mother 3's story is Ionia a magypsy who's main color is green and pink (the colors of magicant)

Myxolidia (or maybe magypsies in general) are the only beings to make characters snap out of the mushroom's acid trip

The magypsies live in pink sea conch houses much like the houses in magicant (itoi confirmed that it was indeed a nod to Mother 1)

Magypsies are very related to music, as their names are based on musical scales, them being special residents or creations from Magicant would make sense as it's there where Ninten discovers the song to defeat giygas

And lastly the names of the magypsies themselves

Magy is very similar to Magi and possibly the fan translators of Mother three only put and Y instead of an i to make their names more interesting (but that's just especulation on my part)
