Smg4 Jr Monitor - Tumblr Posts
Does anybody remember Hal Monitor's family in "SMG4: Officer Meggy"? I know that we heard of Mrs. Monitor in "SMG4: If Mario was in.... SQUID GAME" but Jr hasn't been seen since the duos debut. Wonder how Jr's doing...
BLU WHAT DID YOU DO TO HALS SON
Forgive me, I would've answered sooner but your ask made me laugh so heccin hard >:3
As for his son...
I made him a Sweet Cap'n Cakes fan! Even got his shirt autographed by Sweet himself! Super into Vaporwave aesthetic, and really loves his dad!
He got a full body built by E'Gadd so he didn't have to hop everywhere, though it did cost Hal a fortune.
Part 2 of "My attempt at a front-facing character reference sheet of some of the SMG4 characters for reference." has arrived!
For Part 1: click here!
Mrs. Monitor Lives (SMG4 AU): A Concept
[aka: Hal Monitor wins squid game and sells the lifetime supplies of PS5s for money to pay for his wife's surgery]
(WARNING: I LOVE THINKING FAR TOO HARD ON SILLY SHOWS AND GAMES I ENJOY, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK)
What if Hal Monitor won in "SMG4: If Mario Was In.... SQUID GAME"? What if Hal got the prize and sold the PS5s for the money he needed? Well I'm gonna rewind and try to show you my take on if he did win, and how he did it.
PART 1: HOW.
The first question would be HOW does he win SQUID GAME? Well, we can deduce where he originally lost by checking the roster between games, as even if they are removed offscreen, they show who survived at the start of the next game.
To which we find he was eliminated during the marbles minigame, which leaves us with a couple of questions:
Who did he versus out of the winning group? We can immediately eliminate Mario and Wario, as we see them win against their opponents: Old Man and Waluigi respectfully. We can Also eliminate Squidward, Dipsy (Teletubbie), Colonel Sanders (KFC mascot), Donkey (SHREK ICON), Buff Carl, and Joker (Persona 5) as they weren't apart of the group shown for the marbles minigame and are included in the glass bridge minigame as a gag. Which leaves Meggy, Steve, or Luigi as our final suspects. Personally I'm more likely to believe it was Steve, as his capablities of throwing random stuff as a gag would fry Hal's system and thus, lose the match. So instead, Hal would possibly load all his marbles into a makeshift gun and shoot Steve, eliminating him on the spot.
How would he succeed the glass bridge minigame? As the glass bridge is one of the two minigames he must win at before being crowned the winner, he needs to pass this to contiune onto the next and final round. If he were replace Steve, and (for a super spy gag) had a way to differentiate the wrong or right way for glass pathing, we could still use the "Wario trips up Luigi and immediately faces the consequences of his actions" bit by Hal just chokeholding Wario and yeeting him into the pit saying that "Wasn't very legal" as he threw him.
Onto the Squid Game minigame and we run into the final obstacle: Would it still work to have Meggy and Mario both get past the glass bridge minigame to battle with Hal Monitor in the final frontier? Considering Meggy's skill with a splattershot, and both Mario and Meggy's training for the Splatfest, I doubt it. Mario did win with a gag so odds are he might've not stood a chance against someone like Hal, who is taking this FAR more seriously than himself if Meggy wasn't there. Say she is still there though, which can still play out well in a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" format: Mario defeats Meggy, and Hal quickly defeats Mario while he's distracted by beating Meggy.
PART 2: SO WHAT IF HE WON?
Finally the ending of the episode after getting the money:
Hal and Jr are waiting in the hospital hallway, sitting on a bench outside the room. Hal's leg is going a mile a minute as Jr just sits, resting his head (toaster face?) on his father's lap. Hal got the money just in time, but the wait during the surgery was unbearable. The father-son duo glanced at each other, practically seeing the same amount of fear, paranoia, and dread on the what ifs for their dear microwave. The hospital door creaks open by a smiling E. Gadd. "The procedure was a success. Aside from needing to ease back into walking again, she should be clear. You both can see her if you'd like." But E. Gadd was quickly interrupted as the duo shot towards the door only to halt in the room and slowly step towards the medical chair where their dear Mrs. Monitor sits, assessing her newly added arms, merely astonished by the movements and gestures she could now make with just her hands alone. But what E. Gadd was far more than just arms, no he gave her a whole cybernetic body; legs, body, neck, and even making the microwave door of her face into a whole face plate! As she looked up from her hands, she saw her loving husband and their sweet boy gaze at her with a relived and loving gaze. Their fears were finally over. Hal and Jr go in to give her a big hug, that she just as quickly accepts with her new arms, tears welling up in her new eyes. Their family was finally back together again, and all is finally well for them in the world.
END OF EPISODE.
As always would love your thoughts on this and hope you enjoyed!
Once I finished up Anti-Shroomy's wedding outfits, I knew I had to give the Overgrown Computer (Shroomy x Hal) and ShroomKitty (Shroomy x Karen) enjoyers (aka Me) Hal and Karen's wedding outfits! Even made the trio (Cory, Zack, and Katie) flower children and gave my version of Hal Jr. some ring bearer attire!
(Golly I'm so obessed with these and the gold bits on Karen's outfit came out better than I expected AAAAAA /positive)
( I know that I just asked you a question but I’m bored af)
Do you have any Hal angst?
BE NOT AFRAID TO SEND ASKS BESTIE. BE NOT AFRAID.
As for Hal angst... There's alot one could go over. Such as :
How Hal's father's death affected his life, and possibly how he works at being an "enforcer of justice" (And the possibility that the "Death is inevitable!" quote might've unfortunately been his father's final words before said death) from then onward.
While his father might've meant this quote as a way to ease the pain for Hal, it definitely seems to have done the opposite. Man is probably putting the work in overwork at his job now because of one thing:
HE WAS AT THE SCENE WHEN IT HAPPENED. HE COULDN'T STOP IT. And he CAN'T accept that reality yet, if at all. HE is supposed to BE AN ENFORCER, not some bystander to something so tragic. So he tries to work hard to avoid speaking about his pain instead in a healthier way. He CAN'T. Not when there are people to protect from a similar fate.
Jr has tried to talk with him about this, but Hal always redirects the subject back to how Jr. is doing. Jr wants to help his dad, but his dad seems to not want any. Not until he can ENSURE SAFETY FOR ALL.
How Mrs. Monitor's (albeit offscreen) death affected Hal and Jr.'s life (exclude this from the "Mrs. Monitor Lives AU")
This left Hal and Jr. in a more unstable finacial state, but when Jr. got his own body built, he took over his Mom's old "Apppliances Store" (Yes it's spelt that way in the show, and the headcanon why is because Mrs. Monitor "autocorrects" it to that instead of Appliances, to which Hal and Jr. refuse to change it). Now the duo are overworking buddies!
Jr. has been saving up for something for a while without his father knowing though... Therapy. Jr. knows what the two of them isn't healthy, even if they are "Robots/Cyborgs" thanks to the lovely advice from Shroomy and Karen (who stop by/babysit on occasion). He wants to help them get better, BE BETTER for each other's sake. But the only problem now is getting Hal to agree to going along with him to said sessions...
Can your version of Hal overheat?
Yes and he HATES IT.
Jr. and Mrs. Monitor have to convince him to take some days off just so he doesn't overheat on the job constantly, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER OOF. Though during the summertime they plan some activities so he doesn't think too much on the work he's missing.
Wanna know while I realize if I ended up choosing Team Dark for Hops, Viktor and Hank?
Sonic fandubs, definitely a good reason to convince me. So expect me using your designs as reference :]
OOOOOOOO YIPPEEE!!!
Now what if I told you I impulsively made a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" version after I sent you the Team Dark version? What if I couldn't stop thinking about your cool as hecc smg4 fankids??
And a comic to go with them! (The comic in question being what drove me to draw them in the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" version)
Halloween costume. Gimme gimme :3
This ask seemed really open for interpretation, was it asking about doodles of my sona in her costume?
for the OC/ Fan characters I've got?
or for ideas of Halloween costumes for your sona?
If you were asking about "IRL" me, I forgot to make a costume. So I'm probably going to wear my Moogle (Final Fantasy) Kigurumi onesie and leave it at that. Sorry for the confusion on my end!
