assorted pikmin art (i fucking love these beasts so much)
purple's design is based on beetroots, adopting their leaf shape and having its body textured like one
white's leaf design is based on caladium plants, with pink larkspurs replacing them when bloomed
I initially wanted to draw their bodies as weirdly shaped roots like actual mandrakes have, but i'll save the idea for later
Olimar is literally the sweetest little man. What did we do to deserve him.
No one else maintained any aspects of their personality while leafling-ified but Olimar’s sweet little man traits are so powerful.
Literally heartbreaking. Give the man a break. He misses his wife skin-having one he misses her a lot. Seriously these particular two lines hurted me okay. It’s not your fault, Olimar! You would’ve gotten home fine if Moss hadn’t snuck onto your ship.
I just want to hold him gentle. God.
The entry for Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo’s official site for the Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary has an error in its ESRB rating: “Mild Cartoon Violence” is spelled “Mild Cartton Violence” instead. Bizarrely, this is spelled correctly in all other places on the website; suggesting that instead of using a template, some Nintendo employee typed out the ratings individually for each of the games.

mild carlton violence
just noticed something in hobies intro...
before he enters the scene, this is the messaging broadcast all across his london:
OBEY. DO NOT QUESTION. CONSUME.
on every screen and surface and outlet, thats the message ordered by the government and the media and the system. to conform. to follow orders. to submit. to live and die by the establishment.
then after Hobie enters the scene with his unauthorized political action art pieces and, figuratively and literally, disrupts the narrative, the message, his message, rewrites it all and changes it all to
FREEDOM. JOY. LIVE FREE. LOVE EACH OTHER.
KINDNESS AND FREEDOM is the battlecry and message Hobie brings to his world as Spider-Man.
Kindness is Punk.
kindness and freedom despite everything IS punk. and Hobie destroying the system with that is so fucking powerful and beautiful. he is the embodiment of punk, and its not just an aesthetic. even if he wasnt aesthetically punk, he would still be punk because punk IS his character, it is his values, his morals, his message.
gods i just keep finding more reasons to love Hobie so deeply. he's genuinely one of, if not, the most inspiring character i have ever witnessed in media.
The duality of the word fairy
I think there's also a Z-axis that goes from "twee and harmless" to "you've been turned into an equal volume of spiders".
