Dark Pit - Tumblr Posts
Is Super Smash Bros okay? If so, please can we get Bass meeting Dark Pit? (And if you're up for it, Richter Belmont, for an echo version of the N-Team.) Thank you!
Maybe this is why Bass isn’t a playable character in Smash? Anyway, thank you for the request, @bassdaily !
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
She tried
My 3 terrible bois
If you guys are wandering who
Its bass, dark pit(pitoo), and shadow
Voted most likely to stand around with arms crossed while saying “hmph”, eventually help out the hero, and probably grow demon wings or something like that.
he doesn't look impressed at all
New Smash Ultimate oneshot: "Grocery Shopping" is now up for reading in AO3!!

The case of shipping in the Kid Icarus community is honestly quite a strange one.
I know it’s got a lot of popular ships like Pit/Dark Pit, Pit/Palutena, etc. But the ships themselves and the context between them are… peculiarly complex to say the least? If you really think hard about it, barely any ship between the characters is romantically compatible.
Like, for one, Pit/Dark Pit. Or as others like to call it, “Pitcest.”
I personally, am not a fan of Pitcest. Not because I don’t like the “cute and quirky boy dates edgy boy” dynamic, but literally any ship with “cest” in the name is just a turnoff for me. Plain and simple.
That being said, I’m not the biggest fan of Pit/Palutena either, for obvious reasons. That being Pit is portrayed as an adolescent (Sakurai even states he’s canonically 13 in human years) and she’s portrayed as a fully matured woman. Even if ages weren’t a problem, there’s still the unbalanced power dynamic these two have with each other.
Yes, I know it’s heavily implied in the Japanese version that he has feelings for her, but I never really saw her as a “potential love interest.” I always saw her as his mother figure or parental guardian.
The one ship I can kind of see as compatible is Pit/Viridi, and even then there’s the “age gap” that’s commonly disputed, since Viridi is said to be eight in human years. Not as big as the Pit and Palutena one, but it’s still there nonetheless.
I know there’s a hella lot of debate about these characters’ ages, whether they count as adults or not because, “they’re a thousand years old, they’re basically immortal” which is a whole ‘nother can of worms that I honestly don’t wanna open.
Personally, I find it interesting when a popular work doesn’t have a lot of room for shipping as opposed to a bunch of other franchises. It goes to show that romantic relationships are opportunities people can have, but they’re not requirements.
I'm not sure what it is about these designs, but they all look like they'd fit in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon and I'm all up for it.
WOO finally finished these designs!! I wanted to make refs of all my characters for my Kid Icarus AU, so here’s the two main families: the Newlight family and the Rainwood sisters, their beloved dog Cragalance, and the mysterious family butler Arlon. And yes, plenty of antics - hijinks even - ensue with these people!
I'd love to know more about "palutena trap (kid icarus meets the parent trap)"
Ok so I just answered an ask about this with a bit about the inspiration and approach I'm taking to this fic so this one I'm going to list some of my favorite plot points in no particular order:
This is a "modern au" so everyone has normal jobs, such as:
Investigative journalist who lives on a houseboat
Mob boss
Lead singer for a punk band which is actually a front for an eco-terrorist group
Karate sensei
Drag racer
Ex-MI6 butler
California surfer bro
Dark Pit, given the option refers to himself exclusively as "The Dark Falcon of Vengeance" or similar because I couldn't stretch my suspension of disbelief enough to call him Dark or to give him a different name entirely (much as I love @stonemaskedtaliesin's Pip, it just doesn't fit in the context I'm going with)
Dark Pit's actual name in this is Pit Pairisetti, and Pit's name is Pit Pasupati. Dark Pit's name is a more alliterative romanization of Bairisetty, a Telugu surname which means something like "falcon," which I thought was appropriate. Pasupati is a Hindi surname which was mostly picked because I liked the way it sounded and wanted both of their surnames to start with the same letter, giving the camp counselors an excuse to call them Dark Pit and Light Pit instead of just using their last initials.
Pit is going to mostly accidentally steal a team of horses from Hades as part of an escape when he's doing something with the Forces of Nature as the analog to the canonical Lightning Chariot. It will be glorious.
There is a Sonic expy who will never appear on-screen who is Phosphora's greatest nemesis (and possibly ending scene implied love interest, depends on if I think of anything funnier)
The background ship is past Palutena/Medusa and I haven't yet decided how much reconciliation they will do. Less than in The Parent Trap, for sure, but maybe more than I originally planned.
Medusa and Dark Pit know all the sorry details about their breakup, but Palutena never explained it to Pit
Despite their incredible athletic skills, both Pits sink like a rock in water.
As you might have gathered from their names, I am making Palutena and Medusa Indian, specifically from Northern India and Southern India, respectively. This is mostly because I can and encouraged by the fact that there's a species of parakeets from India that have naturalized to Greece. I'm pretty sure they're the ones from the tumblr poem about unmannerly peas, which is one of my all time favorites, so even better.
They met in Hyderabad and decided to marry each other instead of waiting around for whatever arranged marriage their families had planned for them. This is also why neither of them can go home because they would literally rather die than hear their aunt sigh and go "this is why blah blah blah."
They won the houseboat from Poseidon in a poker game. Palutena played the cards, Medusa helped her cheat.
The divorce was really ugly. Like, dragged through all the tabloids levels of ugly. Pit doesn't know about it because all of his electronics have parental controls about that specifically. It ruined Medusa's PI firm, which is why she now works for the mob boss.
This is why Pit just knows about the bad things Medusa has done (there was a REASON the divorce was ugly and it was not all Palutena's fault) but Dark Pit knows about things that Palutena said about him, specifically.
The Pits spend some time at camp bonding in the counselors-only Jacuzzi, and possibly over a camp play. Can't decide how much Addams Family Values I want to throw in.
Hades has eaten human hearts before, but prefers Amazon River Dolphin. He says the stench of evil ruins the taste.
Despite all the plot I have planned out (this is going to be so much longer than TFP) I feel like I have so much less of it planned out than TFP (which, to be fair, is a murder mystery). It's always a big shift to jump from one to the other, and it's going to be even more of a shift once I finish TFP and start editing and posting in earnest, but I'm looking forward to trying a different style of editing when I get there!
Pit always trying to steal the spotlight smh
Smash Intros: Daisy VS Dark Pit

Daisy:”Hi, I’m Daisy!”
Dark Pit:”I don’t care.”
Daisy:”Wow, you’re pleasant.”
[A jab at the Daisy meme. ‘Nuff said.]
