"How intriguing...you're a stranger in this world as well, aren't you?"

All the love and hearts for everyone who joined me on stream for this! It was lots of fun, will definitely be doing more art streams in the future!

AGGGGHH MY HEART-

I LOVE THIS SO MUCCCCCHHHHH

"Mallow...so it IS you, my boy! It's been so long!"

I've been thinking about what @shamanicshaymin said last night in twitch chat about Garro getting to hold baby Mallow like, all day, dude

Genovember Day 26: A story both Bowser and Geno still tell to this day - but only Bowser knows the punch line.

So for Genovember, I've been WRITING Geno every day. Mostly work on long things, but lots and LOTS of goofy short things. And I had a crazy thought today that maybe I should actually freakin post some of them 👀

Here's one! (cw: alcohol)

Geno and Bowser go to the Grate Guy casino together

Bowser eggs Geno on to get into a one-on-one drinking contest with him

Geno declines for a while, because he's 100% sure alcohol would have no effect on a doll and he doesn't want to hurt Bowser

Bowser doesn't quit until finally Geno's like, "Dude, if you REALLY want to play a game you KNOW you're going to lose, fine. You're buying."

They have some surprisingly genuine bonding time as Bowser gets drunker and drunker and opens up in ways Geno didn't expect

Geno is very understanding as he keeps up with Bowser shot for shot - no effect on him, nothing, nada

And THEN

Bowser pisses someone off

Slowly it becomes clear that a bar fight is about to close in on them

And, with his pal Bowser absolutely sloppy-sloshed, Geno realizes that HE'S going to have to deal with it.

There they are, about to face off against a bar full of angry thuggernauts or whatever

Geno is 100% annoyed but also 100% here to defend his ally

Bowser is 200% READY for this fight and 0% able to tell the difference between a person and a barstool

and then

just before it goes down

Geno's like

"Yo Bowser."

"Weh?"

"I just realized something."

"Whuh?"

"I can get drunk!"

And Geno falls on his face.

Bowser proceeds to get ABSOLUTELY TROUNCED by the ENTIRE BAR

(Throughout this, Geno just lies there about 0.5% conscious and feeling quite excellent, and through some dumb luck remains blissfully unharmed; he will not remember any of it)

They both get thrown out of the bar (Geno is still very much not awake for this)

And that's the story of how Bowser and Geno got banned from the Grate Guy Casino.

we are in a media literacy crisis

TANTRUM.
