Hi!



UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Chats I've made starring Toad:
239 - Toad and Brídín Brennan (Jul 23, 2024) - That sounds wonderful! I bet the final product will be amazing once it's complete! Your daughter sounds like a very creative and talented person!
129 - Toad and Yoshi (Jun 16, 2023) - It wasn't anything big, but I got the job of guarding the sacred star piece. It's something of a rare and sacred thing, and I was given the honour of guarding it. It may sound like a fairly unimportant job, but it makes me feel very honoured and I am happy with it!
077 - Toad and Peach (Apr 12, 2023) - The amount of responsibility you have must surely be overwhelming! How do you handle the pressure each day? Do you not ever feel overwhelmed by it?
069 - Toad and Luigi (Apr 10, 2023) - You are one of my greatest friends, Luigi! I would be lost without you. We've gone on so many epic and legendary adventures together, it would be a crime not to remain excellent friends! I believe that our friendship will last until the end of time, and I will stay by your side, through thick or thin! You are the best pal I've ever had!
067 - Toad and Mario (Apr 10, 2023) - I know that I am not much of a fighter, so my best bet is to cheer everyone on like the good-hearted fellow I am! I'll be here to support you all the way! So, chin up, go out there, and give that Bowser what he wants! Show him the true power of friendship!

Chats I've made where Toad is mentioned:
170 - Mr. Game & Watch and Kirby (Nov 26, 2023)
Mr. Game & Watch: (For Mario characters i've drawn, i've drawn characters like Luigi, Mario, Bowser and Toad. I've also drawn a number of Mario power-ups, like the Super Mushroom and 1-Up Mushroom.)
Kirby: That’s great! Pokemon and Mario have excellent and diverse character designs that always make them fun to draw!

Chats I've made where Toads (in general) are mentioned:
015 - Bowser and Mario (circa Apr 1, 2023)
Bowser: Gwahahaha! You think that hurts? THAT'S NOTHING! You should see what my army does to Toads who try to invade MY territory! That would be REAL pain! NOW GET THIS, YOU WORTHLESS RED-SHIRTER! You've made me angry enough to end this right here, right now!

Chats in which Toads (in general) are alluded to:
132 - Peach and Kirby (Jun 18, 2023)
Peach: Well, being ruler of a whole kingdom is like being one big mom, so I guess the hardest part is trying to make as many people as possible happy. I just try my best to be fair with all my people. That being said, I also have to run the economy and make sure things are in order so every citizen has enough food and a place to live. And then I have to make sure I'm constantly protected from Koopa attacks. Lots of things can get hard, I can definitely get overwhelmed sometimes.
055 - Donkey Kong and Peach (Apr 7, 2023)
Donkey Kong: But you will also need to taste test the banana bread that Rosalina makes! All good rulers must have a good pastry chef! Donkey wants to make sure all citizens enjoy their food!
053 - Luigi and Peach (Apr 7, 2023)
Luigi: I-a can't imagine what-a the a-Mushroom Kingdom would do without-a you, you're-a everything the-a people want-a to be!
016 - Jon and Peach (circa Apr 1, 2023)
Jon: I'd love to come and visit sometime. I mean, there's so much to ask about your kingdom, your life, your people. Is there a royal ball I could go to? What are all your citizens like?
Peach: There's lots of royal balls that happen every now and then! And the people of my kingdom are the most beautiful people in the world. They always give me the best gifts! There are millions of different types of creatures here, the mushroom people, the fire people, there are even creatures that live in the ocean here.
005 - Peach and Bowser (circa Mar 31, 2023)
Peach: But please promise me you'll look after the people here, they're so nice and kind and don't deserve to be hurt and it's my job to protect them. I hope you can treat them well.
Bowser: Hmm... Fine, I GUESS. Oh yeah! I should probably tell them to make my new castle!

If you're not into Super Smash Bros. or Super Mario Maker... and maybe even if you ARE into those games but aren't as obsessed with Mary O. as I am... then this entry will probably be of no interest to you and you should probably skip it unless you REALLY want to know what goes on inside my head. :P


Being the Nintendo nerd I am, ever since the first Super Smash Bros. I sometimes tried to imagine what it would be like if various characters (video game or otherwise) that weren't playable in any SSB games yet were.

But I don't think I've ever come up with a complete moveset for one until now. Usually all I think of is:
- "What would Kirby look like if he copied this character?"
- "What would this character's alternate costumes be?"
- (for characters who aren't from a series that's already in the game) "What would this character's series symbol be?"
- MAYBE a game mechanic that would be unique to that one character
- MAYBE taunts and MAYBE special moves and a Final Smash.

And usually I don't write about or draw any of these ideas either - just think about it.


But lately, due to my constantly being obsessed with Mary O. (who unfortunately is still obscure enough that I feel like I have to link to that article again), I've been thinking more and more about what it'd be like if she and Yamamura were playable in Super Smash Bros. as a 2-in-1 character similar to Duck Hunt.

In fact I first thought of this idea at some point before April Fools' Day 2017 (see the music tag for that entry), but lately I've been thinking more and more about how this could work, enough that I think I have ideas for their entire hypothetical moveset by now.

And I keep thinking about said moveset so much that writing an entry about it is probably the only way I'm ever going to stop being so distracted thinking about it, even though I doubt it'd be interesting to anyone here (none of you are as obsessed with Mary O. as I am, and a lot of you probably aren't even into Super Smash Bros. enough for this to be of interest to you). So I'll LJ-cut it so I won't bore you. :)


( Blah blah blah Mary O. moving sideways )

It feels so weird that I've put all this thought into making an entire moveset and such for Mary O. & Yamamura for literally no reason since I doubt I'd be making a Super Smash Bros. fangame or hack anytime soon... and it feels especially weird to actually be typing out this ridiculous idea after spending so much time only thinking about it...

Well, now you know what goes on inside my head! :P

I found these videos randomly one day at some point after Super Mario Beads 3 was already released (so it has to have been November 2012 or later) and meant to post them here* but never did. Then I rediscovered them this week so I finally got around to posting them five years later! :)






*Well, okay, if you're reading this on DW, that's not entirely true because I wasn't on DW yet :P

The tenth anniversary of my LiveJournal is on August 19!!!


To celebrate, August 2017 is Matt1993 Nostalgia Month! (Okay, so that would also be an accurate description of basically any month from October 2015 to July 2017... but for August 2017, it's an even MORE accurate description!)

When I joined LJ nearly ten years ago, I never thought I'd be still on it for this long - especially given how I kept going on hiatuses from it until February 2009. I also never thought so many things would have changed since then, or that I'd be posting about so many new things since then.

I keep wondering what basically everything I've posted to LJ in 2009-2017 would look like to my 14-year-old or 15-year-old self (i.e. from the era when I wasn't that active on LJ and didn't think I ever would be).


Well, now that question will be sort of answered, because:

1. I'm changing my journal style back to Blue Gray (which is what I think I was using at first and had left as for... I'm not even sure how long; probably until early 2009 but MAYBE earlier) for a month, then will change it to Pale Yellows again at the end of the month. Though I'm leaving the journal title and subtitle as is because I don't remember what those were back in 2007 - and I decided that if I'm keeping those as is, I'll also leave in other anachronistic references such as the comment text being "# Doom 2 bad guys will come out of my ears"/"Rob Morrow to you!" :)

2. As those of you who've known me since 2009 know, five of my oldest userpics used to look different until I updated them late that year (and I don't think I had any userpics at all before 2009). Well, I'm temporarily changing those five userpics back to what they looked like in 2009!

( Back to the good old days! (I can't believe 2009 is “the good old days”...) )

3. And why stop there? If my newer userpics had also existed prior to November 2009 or so, some of them likely would've looked different back then, too - so I've taken what I call the "Super Mario Maker approach" because I'm a dork and retroactively created "older" versions of eleven more userpics, and am temporarily changing them "back" to these versions for the month!

What would my journal and some of my comments have looked like if...
- that brief era when I played D&D had been at least a few months earlier
- I'd started watching The X-Files before 2010
- I'd had my first /crazymegavideo/ dream before 2010
- the Forbidden Comment Threads had happened at least a couple of years earlier, resulting in 2009 being during the four years or so of depression and angst they caused me
- and so on
...and therefore some of my userpics about these had been made when I was 15 instead of 16-22?

Let's find out!!

( Draconian userpic poink! )

It was fun using my 2008-2009 drawing/spriting styles once again in 2016-2017! Even if the old-style versions of the 7:97 and /crazymegavideo/ userpics don't sync up as well with the regular versions as I thought they would. :)

4. And, as if making ancient in-jokes look even more ancient wasn't anachronistic enough already, I'm even applying the same temporary changes to my DreamWidth account! This includes the same userpic changes, and... okay, not the SAME layout changes, because LJ and DW have different default layouts. Still, I figure if DreamWidth had existed in 2007 and I'd had an account on it back then, I probably would've used its default layout for nearly two years like I did on LJ, so I'm temporarily using that layout (Neutral Good) for a month. :)


(Before I actually make any of these changes, though, I'm going to make sure both the LJ and DW versions of this entry look okay - so my journals may or may not still be yellow when you see this.)


I've got some more ideas for celebratory posts as well, so stay tuned! :D

As I've mentioned a while back, I plan on replacing some of my userpics with more legible versions. (even though I've procrastinated that for probably at least a year now...)

Since I knew that doing that will cause me to lose track of what order I added my userpics, I kept a list of my userpics in my profile in order added - but I'm starting to run out of room on my profile now, so I moved it here and reformatted it into a table that hopefully looks better than the old layout.

Note that this excludes the following:
- Old versions of these userpics
- Alternate versions of some of these that I made to protest SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/etc. a few years ago

( Here they are! )

These get pretty hilarious :)

AWWW!

Thank you Matt1993! Now your entry is in another journal!

I finally won an X-Files Bingo round with pathvain_aelien! Yay!!!

( Meme yoinked from sarea_okelani )

( Quizzes )

( First Garfield Randomizer comics in over a year )

Post this entry into your journal! (well, it'd be weird to repost all of it, but you could repost some of it)

I only wrote a little more of Moya's Space Log today, but at least it's an improvement over how much I've been procrastinating! I'm up to 4,319 words now.

I don't have time to link to Part 3 from this entry and vice versa today. Hopefully I can tomorrow.

←Part 3 Part 4 (edited) & Part 5→

(as you can tell from the link saying "Part 4 (edited)", this whole part was edited later)

( Moya's Space Log, part 4 )

Ours will this entry 1-Up

So I had a Spanish test today. (By the way, I have that kind of test every Thursday, most of the time. They aren't that long except for, like, the end of the semester.) My Spanish teacher had forgotten to put the Spanish word for "damsel" on the matching section, so she said to just omit it. Guess what I wrote next to the English word?

"In another castle test."

Heehee!

¡Gracias Mattio! ¡Pero su poste está en otro diario!
