A kingdom in ruin,
A kidnapped Princess.
The Stars have aligned
For two ordinary plumbers
To save her world.
This is that story

I shat this out within an hour because I found out way too late about #MakeaTerribleComicDay2025

This is the kind of energy I wish I had more often

You are exactly the audience I want to appeal to. I didn’t grow up in the 80s or 90s, but I find that era of art and creativity so appealing. I swear I must have an old soul. It’s nostalgic to me, even though I didn’t grow up with it. I’m glad I captured that authenticity!

I really should get PostyBirb to post on all my social media at once. It’s been difficult juggling multiple accounts.

Arriving in the Mushroom Kingdom

Mario and Luigi, after arriving in a strange world, run into a terrified Toad begging for help. King Koopa’s armada hovers above the land, a shadow marring the beautiful landscape. Thus begins the legendary tale of the Super Mario Brothers.

I’m confused. Is this like an offer?

Value yourself. You are more than art. You are you. And that’s enough. I hope that is also enough for you.

It may hurt right now. Being alone is not easy. Healing comes with time. It’s okay to be alone rn.

Forgive me if I misread. If this is a joke, ignore me

All I ever want to do, is just make people happy. I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and people I love.

Don’t really need much more, so why not give all I can?

In case anyone is wondering where I am: I am doing other things in real life that prevent me from being active at the moment.

Other things include: brand new job.
And that’s pretty much it.
