God this is so cool I love it.

I love this post so much. It perfectly encapsulates any Pikmin player’s frustration with the story of the second game.
The sheer description. The disdain for capitalism. The absolute bullshit Olimar had to go through.
It’s so well articulated.
The timeline for Pikmin 2 is so funny because like, Olimar's been missing-presumed-dead for an entire month (rightfully so, considering how very dead Olimar should have been with the events in Pikmin 1) and he escapes by the skin of his teeth and beelines it back home with the desperate desire to see his wife and children who've probably been starring on Dateline: Hocotate every day for the last month to be grilled about their tragically missing father.
And instead. Instead. The absolute literal second Olimar's ship docks down, his fucking boss of all people comes running out of the woodwork and shakes him by the shoulders going "Terrible news Olimar your new coworker fucked up and now we're $10 million in debt! Go immediately back to that planet you escaped from and hunt its wildlife to extinction in order to collect enough valuable treasure to pay this off."
Like we're not even gonna let Olimar brush his teeth huh? Not gonna shove some antibiotics in him for the undiscovered foreign pathogens clinging to his suit? This man survived 30 days on 10 days of emergency rations and probably a few bulborbs once he got hungry enough to no longer care about the parasites. Not a hello? Not a 'you're alive'? Not a coffee?
What the hell does this even look like from the President's perspective? Your shipwrecked presumed dead employee whose life insurance policy paperwork is sitting on your desk shows back up out of the literal sky, down 20% of his bodyweight covered in superficial injuries smelling like gangrene and carrying himself with the haunted and (no, dare I say, passionate?) look in his eyes of someone who has learned to indiscriminately kill for the sake of survival.
And your first thought is "oh thank god my single competent employee isn't actually dead. I need to exploit him as soon as possible."
President's so fucking lucky Olimar is both a broken salaryman and also deranged enough to find wonder in the hostile world that so very wants to rip him to pieces. If I were Olimar I'd have killed President and Louie on the spot.
Does anyone know where the next issue is? I DESPERATELY need more of this!
Olimar finds a green Onion. Stay tuned!
They just can’t catch a break, huh?
boys in stem and their obsessive yellow freaks after them while they write in journals
Y’know, I always knew that Olimar’s story was full of this kind of tragedy, but it had never occurred to me that Mario must also not be having the best time during a lot of his adventures.
Bro would rather be eating cake.
I love both of them so much they NEED vacations.
i think if Mario and Olimar were to sit down and discuss the things they'd been through they'd both kind of internally go
messing around w some pikmin designs 🌸
I've been playing Pikmin 2 for a while and this is what I gotten so far.
This was funnier in my head

Long day at work. (Wereleafling) Olimar can't seem to catch a break, but Lou' happens to love big shaggy monsters, so taxing secrets like these even out in the end. Imagine finding this in the breakroom.
Angry lad. I wonder what happened.
I love your wereleafling olimar so much and I got a question how does olimar feel about that?
I have a LOT of lore in progress for how Olimar's curse came about, and how it works. With much vagueness: resentful, but resigned. In this AU, the deity (deities?) alluded to throughout the games are very much real and very temperamental, but otherwise champion Olimar for the sake of a good story and don't let him die very easily. He made some bad choices. He's come to terms with his lapse in judgment, even though he thinks he should have been cut some slack for all the stress. Not your traditional werebeast. Gentle inspiration from LOZ: Twilight Princess, somewhere in there. All of it has really helped him identify the tacit joy and purpose in survivalism, and it gives him an excuse for wanting to go back to the planet (which he's not too happy with himself for).
(Please ask more. It makes me SO happy!)
