this is just a simple idea but if you spend some more time you can get real krazy with it:

Tf2 art style analysis

I looked at the main Tf2 comic and wrote down some features of the art. If you want to draw stuff in the Tf2 art style, this post is for you!

If you want me to look at any other features, tell me! I’m always happy to help.

please play this game

i think the internet would be better if everyone started treating their blog like it's their own space. like a room or a house that you own and can do whatever you want in. maybe you can draw. maybe you can invite your friends over. maybe you can walk around the room talking to yourself. maybe you can take a nap. you should probably decorate it too. make it your own space and put some love into it. it's like a little piece of yourself you're putting online, so treat it that way

Punch out!! Fic recs

Decided to make a fic recommendation post for newbies to the fandom and those who may not know where to look for good/fun fics! Also, feel free to send me an ask about fics I should look into and add for the list! I'm more than happy to add them or make a second post!

From Fanfiction.net:

Non shippy-

One win by SSBFreak, oneshot. A short thrilling read about one of the few mysteries of punch out lore!

Shattered Glass by Eric Alost, oneshot. Angsty and really nice, looks through the perspective of a potential 'win' of a certain boxer.

To have, To be by Kmoody, oneshot. Short, cute, sweet, and slightly shippy Joe/Kaiser if you squint.

Faith by Derpula, multi-chapter, finished. Very good read about mac's contender fight with Super Macho Man, includes both mac and Macho's perspectives. Interesting character development and analysis of both and definitely has its hair-raising moments!

Blurred Lines by Derpula, oneshot. A look into Doc and Macs relationship, very sweet and heartwarming with the slightest sprinkle of angst.

Accuser by kmoody, oneshot. A look into Glass Joe's internal monoluge after a fight, angsty and almost feels poetic.

La Confiance EN by kmoody, oneshot. Slightly angsty look into Glass Joe's fears before a match, featuring a cat and a happier ending! Also comes in a french version.

Home by dannyson97, multi-chapter, unfinished. A story about Joe and Aran getting into a matched together. Because it's unfinished, the fight is never seen but the opening chapters are charming all on their own!

Snapped by NightshadeOfDeath, multi-chapter, unfinished. A story about Joe making a mistake and facing the consequences. Looks into his personal fears and perceptions of himself.

Teenager versus French Gentleman by BoxingWGV, multi-chapter, unfinished. An interesting flip on the story of mac rising to the top of the wvba. Here, he can't even beat glass joe and we see some trials with other boxers as well.

Punch Out: The Champion Returns REMASTERED by the ender defender, multi-chapter, unfinished. A fun fic about mac rising to the top of a different boxing organization with an equally wacky cast of characters as the wvba and some cameos from our old faves! Its very similar to a fic later in the list, but with much shorter chapters.

Punch-Out!: Straight to the top by VittorioFGC, multi-chapter, unfinished. A nice fic retelling the events of the 2009 game blended with the original nes game with some additional details. It has footnotes as well, which I found very funny, and an Italian version.

Klaas Dekker's Punch-Out by Alexneushoorn, multi-chapter, unfinished. A fic set after mac retires, a rise-to-the-top story starring a new boxer named Klaas, featuring some original characters and others from the various games.

Shippy-

Act Out! by JesterrDraws, multi-chapter, unfinished. Au where the 2009 game is actually a movie! Ships so far: Don x Carmen, Bear x Tiger, Joe x Aran

PunchOut! Second Round by Vile.EXE, multi-chapter, unfinished. A sequel to the 2009 game where mac has to fight through a new sea of wacky characters to find out what's really going on and what happened to the WVBA. Very, very, very fun! Though light on story, it makes up for that with the silly characters that fit right in in the punch out universe. All opponents are ocs and there are cameos from the 2009 cast. The story is very much like 'the champion returns' but with more fleshed out chapters. Ships: Mac x OC

Experiments by Timeless Text Traveler, multi-chapter, unfinished. An nsfw story between Don and Joe where they get a little bit curious about each other.

From Wattpad

Non shippy-

Good Baguette/Bad Baguette: A Punch-Out Fanfic by Grant_Cohen, oneshot, unfinished. An au where Glass Joe gets magically turned evil. Only one chapter but it inspired my own evil Glass Joe so I'm putting it here.

Shippy-

(Punch Out Story) Heart on her Glove by RedCheshiree, multi-chapter, unfinished. Aran Ryan x OC story that's pretty cute.

Punch-Out!! Oneshots by GoEatDoorMoss/Bald Men Enjoyer, multi-chapter, on hiatus. Very good writing on the oneshots and plenty of fun if you're into oneshot books. Adding especially because Matt has written 3 things for me and I love its work to death.

From Ao3

Non shippy-

C'est La Vie by Midina127, oneshot. A short and sadder story centered around Glass Joe, it's almost poetic in my opinion.

An Unexpected Friendship by peegstheprez, multi-chapter, unfinished. A story about Aran and Mac becoming friends and the little adventures they fall into. Very sweet and charming and silly.

try that again and i'll fucking dogwalk you by ReleaseTheBogus, oneshot. A dark, bloody story about Aran's thoughts in the ring, featuring his sister.

The shower situation by Littlemacsboxingring2, oneshot. A short silly story about everyone getting mad at someone for hogging the showers in the wvba locker room.

Full Moons and Silver Spoons by NoonboryKedabory, oneshot. Teenage Glass Joe Babysits a baby Narcis, short, sweet, and cute.

Sportsmanship by Broken_Clover, multi-chapter, finished. Mac decides to befriend all of his opponents with varying rates of success. Extremely cute and funny as well.

Sweet Dreams? by X_Sukix29, oneshot. Hondo is being haunted by something and is protected by his friends in the major circuit. Works really well as a short horror story with a happier ending!

Forgive and Forget...? by X_Sukix29, oneshot. Don does not take his loss to Mac well and becomes a mess until Mac, and later the rest of the major circuit, talk him to his senses. An emotionally deep exploration of Don's character motivations and a falling out between the major circuit boxers that resolves to a happy end.

A Place for Everything by Broken_Clover, oneshot. A look into an au where Joe is a god of failure, mistakes, and hope. Less of a traditional story and more lore-like, but very interesting nonetheless.

D7- Animal by Broken_Clover, oneshot. A peek into a dark, post-apocalyptic au where the wvba gang, no longer human, finds Joe in the wasteland.

Rabid Punches by megidolaon56, oneshot. An excellent, dark story about Aran having rabies and giving it to Mac. Sad ending, but very much worth the read. Note that there is untagged use of the r-slur and the n-word (Though cut off).

Aran Ryan Goes to McDonald's by basedbiasedbogus, multi-chapter, finished. Joke story about Aran's adventures at McDonalds, funny and silly and not much else. Warning for the use of the r-word and a cut off version of the n-word.

I KNEW IT, MAC! by AceAndOver, oneshot. A joke story about Aran discovering Mac's deep, dark secret.

2 Months Ago (Underground Circuit Prologue) by AxolKat42, oneshot. Soda Popinski fights a mysterious opponent in the even more questionable 'underground circuit'. A good and interesting setup to a story not yet released.

C is for Culture by orphan_account, oneshot. A short drabble about unique elements of the boxer's cultures. Short and sweet but it gives and interesting insight into all the other boxer's lives.

The Houses in the Woods by Homosexual_Central, oneshot. Kid au where Hondo and Joe are being harassed by the local bully, Macho. They end up in a fight and are eventually rescued by Aran and later meet up at his house. Hondo and Aran become friends from all of this. Extremely cute story that gives a fun take on Aran and Hondo's personalities.

Black Roses by megidolaon56, multi chapter, finished. Don loses everything after Mac defeats him in contender mode- this is the story of how he becomes the Don we see during title defense. Extremely dark story, includes a lot of angst, violence, and overall terrible people but hoo boy is it a fun read if you like reading about characters going evil! Extremely violent and gore heavy in the last few chapters. Also a warning for abuse- Carmen is written as physically abusive and it's not talked about in the tags, nor is the use of the r-word in the last chapter just fyi. Bonus points for the double endings!

Shippy-

(Punch-Out!!) A Cheater's Reason by K1TT3N69, oneshot (technically) unfinished. This is the first 3 chapters of an unfinished fic exploring the reson behind Aran's cheating. Joe x Aran story that I'm sad never got finished.

L'Eau à La Bouche by seroquickshots, multi-chapter, finished. This is a smutty story where the reader rides Joe's face. I'm not one for x reader stories that much but this one was fun. Joe x reader, obviously.

Punch Out!! Oneshots by gorebot, multi-chapter, unfinished. Two oneshots centered around Aran x Joe. In the first, Joe goes to a party and has to stay the night at a mysterious (and cute) stranger's house. In the second, Joe accidentally finds out Aran is trans and Aran doesn't take it well. Both are kinda nice if you like the ship.

Blowing Off Steam by Richard_Van_Lesbian, oneshot. A nice little romp between trans!Kaiser and Joe. Joe x Kaiser smut.

Knock Out!!! by CaptainBumble, onshot. Extremely horny Aran x OC smut fic with some very wacky elements that are actually kind of fun.

Punch-Out!! : Corruption Arc by kingminty, multi-chapter, unfinished. A very interesting au where the punch-out world is a little bit... off. Main pov is sandman and his inner narration and characterization is really fun! Ships so far: Joe x Sandman.

Just a Sketchy Guy by TheRazor, oneshot. Joe catches Aran doodling one day and the two bond over Aran's art. Aran x Joe fluff, really cute and sweet with some joke ships thrown in as well.
