New Smiling Friends Promo Art Dropped

The funniest hyperfixations have gotta be the ones where you watch something and go "this thing is cute. I like it. not sure if Id call it a favorite of mine but its definitely enjoyable at least" and then cut to a month later and its completely overtaken your life

He’s my little muse 🥰

Random thought, but people using Charlie's girlfriend as an excuse to bash on ships like Charpim and Challan is so funny to me, cause like....have you see that man? His ass is NOT loyal to her 😭

I remembered I can post the stuff I draw, so..

Here’s some concept stuff I made for an AU of mine

This is a lil au I like to call “Light Princes” cause I have no ideas on that, I’m taking suggestions ig.

Mario’s proper design, his cape is a star…

I don’t have Luigi’s proper design yet, but his cape is a rainbow. Like a literal rainbow.

So basically they’re princes of Light, to be more precise Luigi controls rainbows and the skies, Mario controls the stars. I just wanted the dynamic of Luigi being the sky and Mario being the sun.

They both live in space (they’re Rosalina’s good friends and neighbours) and they create the Power Stars!

Each kingdom gets one Power Star to keep it alive and thriving.

So Mario, Luigi and Rosalina all have a purpose in the making of the Power Stars.

Rosalina, being the “mother of the stars” raises the, and takes care of them until they’re ready to yk…die and explode and stuff. When the stars explode they turn into stardust, some of which floats down to the world and infusing the power ups with magic, turning them into proper power ups. (example, a 1Up mushroom is just a green mushroom with some pharmaceutical/healing properties, but when stardust enters the earth that its growing in, it turns into a 1Up mushroom.) The rest of the stardust floats into space, waiting.

Luigi travels through his clouds and gathers the stardust that Rosalina’s stars shed when they die, the one floating in space, and the one the power ups emit when they fade away or are deactivated. Luigi gathers it bit by bit, condensing it into a solid stardust Cluster, (although it takes a LONG time, years, decades even).

Mario is the one that carves the star clusters into proper power ups when they’re ready. Carving stars is a delicate process, and each star is special and carved out just a bit differently (each power star is also named). Since carving stars is a rare thing, it only tends to happen when a new kingdom is born, a kingdom big enough to need a power star. Each kingdom gets a Power Star!

(This au is Bowuigi by the way. Lemme know if yall wanna know how that goes on)

Carving a Star is a delicate process.

Mario when Luigi is kidnapped. (Again, Bowuigi plot) Fun fact about the star brothers! They are the only ones who can harness the power of the Power Stars without consuming them! :] (being the ones that create them)

This is moments before Luigi was kidnapped (you can kinda see the flames from Bowser’s attack from beyond Peach’s garden)

Lemme know if yall are interested in more of this au :]

I finished it :D

I would love to hear more about your toxic pim and charlie headcanons. All I can think of is Pim might be too desperate to prove something and Charlie has that "alpha male" thing

SO GLAD YOU ASKED !!!! I need to rant about this to clear things up bc I think about how Charpim would work so much and it makes me go insane bc their dynamic is fucking incredible.

Ill take this as an opportunity to do a little character study and explain why i think they would inherently be toxic at their very core 👹👹 and how I think their relationship would even function.

First off, a HUGE roadblock is the fact that they have completely different ideals. They want totally different things in life and go about life almost in completely opposite ways.

Pim's been shown in canon multiple times to want a normal, healthy, nuclear family. He wants a wife and kids and wants to raise them well and be the father figure for them that he himself never had. It's apparent that he wants to settle down, and just hasn't found anyone willing to. When he even talks to Shrimpina, he can't help puking and making a fool of himself and tossing and turning at night over it. This makes it clear that while i do NOT AT ALL think he's a virgin, Pim doesn't have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff. It's probably all been pretty awkward and never lasted very long.

I don't think that him or Charlie have any problems with being gay, but I do think that Pim settling down with a guy does inherently shatter his ideals. ESPECIALLY with the way Charlie acts. Being with Charlie wouldn't be a picture perfect movie couple, and I think that would really frustrate and disappoint Pim when Charlie doesn't act like he's "supposed" to. He wouldn't really be a BOYFRIEND to him. Pim is just a lot more romantic and holds a lot more hope in the idea of love than Charlie does. He's an optimist and Charlie is VERYRYYY much a pessimist.

The way that Charlie goes about relationships is MUCH more laid back and casual. His girlfriend (who IS CONFIRMED to be his girlfriend by Zach himself in the commentary videos, you can find it pretty easy on YouTube) is hardly ever mentioned and doesn't seem to hold much weight to him at all. To me, that whole thing with her being there kind of confirmed that Charlie casually hooks up with people/dates a lot, and doesn't really take it all that seriously. He doesn't have any intentions of settling down or moving in with anyone. Even in the ep where the fucken mustard chick was flirting with him, Charlie didn't seem to give two shits or even get a little flustered. He'd USED to that kind of stuff, where Pim isn't.

It's been a joke multiple times that even for a critter, Pim is perceived as pretty unattractive and weird looking 😭😭 and that's the biggest difference between them I think. Charlie is single BY CHOICE, while Pim is single because he can't get anyone who wants to long term date him.

If Charlie and Pim ever slept together or did anything, I think it would hold a lot more weight for Pim than it would for Charlie. Charlie is a fucking asshole! He doesn't show affection well, he's pretty inconsiderate of other people, he's very slobby and hardly takes care of himself. He wouldn't want to DATE pim the way that Pim would want to date Charlie. Pim would want to do all that mushy stuff that he's seen in movies that he's never been able to try, like holding hands and cuddling and going out to cute dinners.

CHARLIE WOULDN'T WANNA DO THAT! He's VERY CLEARLY SHOWN in canon to not be that kinda guy. He can hardly even think about himself, he doesn't have the time or want to expend the energy thinking about someone else on a daily basis. Just look at the fucking difference in their rooms--

They work at the same job at the same position, they should be making the same amount of money. And from the Brazil episode where they talk about funds, it doesn't seem like its a super lot. But Pim spent more time and money making his room look nice and his sheets and pillows match, somewhere with a nicer view and cute painted walls. Charlie just bought the cheapest, ugliest little shithole he could find.

You can fucking bet that they would not be good living together, that is if Charlie even wanted to live with him. You can literally see in the back that his sink is full of dirty dishes bro. He probably uses paper plates and plastic cups for everything so he doesn't have to do the dishes, you can bet he's always ordering nasty ass takeout food.

Also sorry, but like please open your eyes and look at the way Charlie treats Pim in the show. Obviously he cares about him and holds him as a dear friend, but he just is kinda a shitty person and doesn't do it very well a lot of the time. He's constantly fucking negative and rude, and it clearly takes a mental toll on Pim. Pim's always the one trying really hard to invite Charlie out to things, like in the alien episode. Pim just wants to hang out and tried to find something Charlie might like, and Charlie was grumpy and dismissive and tried to leave multiple times.

In the most RECENT EPISODE, he got in a physical fight with Alan and was being a dick about physical contact that he basically initiated. In the alien episode, Charlie was screaming at the aliens and ignored pim, ended up clocking him in the fucking face and didn't say a single word about it because HE WASN'T SORRY, HE DIDN'T FUCKING CARE.

they're both incredibly flawed people in completely opposite ways, and they'd both want entirely different things out of the other one. They'd both be trying to change each other, the way they literally already do in the show.

i love charpim more than anything with my entire soul, and im not trying to be a doomer about it, im just so sick of people potraying them like

Charlie: I... I like you... is that okay?

Pim: yes.... would it be okay if I kissed you?

LIKE GIRL WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGGGG THEY ARE GROWN ASS, DIRTY, GROSS MEN WITH DICK AND BALLS.

There was a whole episode where pim literally turned into a fucking crazy ass creature because he was so incredibly jealous of Charlie getting what PIM had wanted. Pim wanted to be a hero and help people and save the day and live out his little idealized world, and when CHARLIE got that and he didn't, it pissed him the fuck off. He wasn't happy for Charlie, Pim WANTED what Charlie had.

LIKE OH MY GOD, THEY'RE JUST SO DISFUNCTIONAL!!!

Their relationship would be fucking crazy and rocky and TOXIC, and that's like the whole appeal of it imo. that's literally how they act in canon. I think that the two of them could eventually work things out to be pretty happy, but it would NOT be without its hardships and it definitely would still never be anything even close to textbook.

THEY'RE FUCKING FREAKS IDK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also almost forgot, not even to mention Charlie's substance abuse and how its canonically shown he gets rude and violent. like r u kidding.

nobody’s ever really happy to find out they’ve stayed up too late.

it used to be a cool achievement but now it’s like

“fuck. god damn it. not again. shit.”

Chapter 12 is almost finished, just need to look for some typos, will finally be uploaded sometime between Saturday and Sunday, also working on a one-shot draft for another anticipated AU everyone’s been waiting for… 👄🔥👠

Au where Pim and Charlie become parents for all of ten minutes /j

Bonus closeup of their spawn whom they eventually name Peach:
