A Few Warmups I've Done As A Finish My Semester In College. A Lot Of Characters I've Never Drawn Before

I made a Bingo Card

Since we are a month away from the release of Return to Dream Land Deluxe, I decided to make this just for fun. Actually, I came up with this around October, but I guess is a good time to share. I added/changed a few things since then.

I had plenty of ideas, not only in the context of the previous remakes, but also regarding how the modern games had changed since RtDL. I would proceed to elaborate and rate the possibility, in my cautious opinion, that is.

1. DDD, BD & MK in hub when not used: Akin to how Ban Dee can be seen hanging in Waddle Dee Town. It could be both in the Lor and Magolor Land. I would be neat if you could also speak to them too. Chance: Possible

2. Use of originally cut content: As in stuff from the original game (not counting previous versions like GCN), like unused enemies appearing. Chance: Very unlikely, yet considering HR-D3...

3. GK fight outside the True Arena: Just wishful thinking. For the longest time I wanted to fight Galacta Knight outside the TA. IDK, the background always made me feel like he should be a secret boss hidden in Dangerous Dinner. Chance: Unlikely

4. New mode similar to HiAD & II:FD: Other case of wishful thinking. I might be asking too much, but I just like these epilogue modes; for instance, it could explore Magolor in the aftermath. Chances: Not very likely, but HiAD in SA’s final update does give me some hope.

5. Unlockable playable Magolor: That would be a cool reward, may be by getting certain scores in all the minigames, 100% or in the epilogue mode from the previous point. I mean, he was already made playable, and Festival is in the game. Chance: Possible

6. Translatable Halcandran Alphabet: I’m referring to the glyphs in the Lor’s screen. I remember seen a post expressing this same idea months ago. I think it would be cool to be able to compare the New World’s writing with Halcandran. We see shared characteristics among those and the symbols in Hyness’ clothes, but I want it to be expanded.

In a side note, I want for some words from that language too, we do see a few connections between the Switch game’s spoken languages, for example ‘Heart’ is ‘Haruda’ (‘Bastion’ in the EN localization) in SA and ‘Faruda’ in FL.

Anyway... Chances: Very unlikely

7. More Magolor!!!: Not need to elaborate. Chances: Already confirmed, but there always could be more.

8. New cutscenes related to main story: Specifying to not count the stuff related to the theme park. Anything that happens during or is consequence of the main story counts, like the potential GK encounter or epilogue mode, may be scenarios added to the repairing cutscenes akin to 64. Chances: Unlikely

9. New stuff connected to the ‘Ancients’: I’m including Hyness’ clan and the people from the New World under the term. Chances: Possible even if it’s something minor.

10. Dream Collection content: An old idea I decided to keep, with it I mean the New Challenge Stages and Magolor Race. Chances: Impossible by this point.

11. New pause descriptions for bosses: RtDL is so weird compared to the other modern games in many ways, an example: only a few bosses have pause desc. and they are relatively short, just like in SSU. I think this is a no brainer. Imagine if they remove them and pass them to masks, if that happens, I’ll still count them. Chances: Very likely

12. Updated movesets for DDD, BD and MK: The SA ones. Chances: Confirmed

13. Replace/change Extra Mode: I don’t hate this mode, it’s just weird with the other modern games in mind. I hope I don’t cause much contention; this was a filler idea. May be a little shake up, like a few new puzzles like in Isolated Isles. Chances: Unlikely

14. More allusions to Magolor’s ‘friend’: Though most agree its Marx, a few more hints won’t hurt. Now imagine if the acquaintance is a future character instead, since Mags has a time machine. Chances: Very unlikely

15. Option to customize/turn off outlines: I personally like them as part of the pop-up book aesthetic, but I’ve seen many hating them, so why not have a choice, at least alter thickness. Chances: Possible

16. Challenge Stages for newer abilities: Since they are new. Chances: Confirmed

17. New hidden rooms in MM and ExM: SA got some in the updates. Would be nice for those that already played the game. Chances: Possible

18. Chaos boss: Thinking about Marx Soul in SSU, I think it’s fitting to have this item happen even if everything else here doesn’t. With I’m just referring to a harder secret true final boss; may be another fight with Magolor, I’m also considering someone else, may be the crown alone? I dubbed it ‘Chaos’ to refer to something above ‘Soul’. Chances: Very Likely, though don’t get your hopes up.

19. Reference to RtDL’s beta versions: not counting the visuals or stuff from the original. Something like betalor being referenced in “Chaos Magolor” or something. Chances: Very Unlikely

20. Additional Stages in Main Mode: As in new whole stages, not just a room or two. May be even a whole new world. A big ask honestly. Chances: Unlikely

21. New Landia lore: Even though Landia appears in the Clash games, there really isn’t much about them besides being called a ‘Guardian Angel’, and they are not part of the main continuity. I’m just saying, this is a good opportunity. Chances: Possible

22. Voiced Adeleine by staff picked for SA: This just something I hope is the case, since a screenshot already confirms her mask has sound effects. It’s just nice seeing stuff cut from a previous entry finally being used. Chances: Very likely

23. Shopkeeper Magolor reference: This is filler, since SA already did that. Magolor is above canon after all. Chances: Possible

24. New well hidden Easter Egg: Possibly involving 86. May be cram in a third HAL Room? As long as most players don’t find out without checking a guide or by pure accident. Chances: Likely

To end this, which took me all night to write, I’ll mark the confirmed boxes. I don’t think I’ll get ‘BRAVO’, but this was fun to make.

Today we took our little boy to the hospital because he has two holes in his heart, which affects his breathing and causes him pain. An update on Ahmed's condition today, April 8, 2025. He also has problems with his optic nerve, which causes problems with his vision and he needs surgery. Ahmed has not had the surgery yet due to the high costs of the operation..We are now stuck in Egypt as a result of the devastating war in Gaza. It is worth noting that I traveled to Egypt for treatment and to give birth before the war, and life became very difficult and the costs were high for us, and we do not have the money. You are our only hope to save my child’s life so that we can perform the operation for him.

SORRY I COULDN'T RESIST-

I saw a pretty movie theater art and got inspired, so I drew this days ago, and I couldn't wait to post it!!!! ✨❤️

Ok hear me out...

I can't help but wonder...

What if I got him by my side?

Oh, cookie angst. This duo is everything to me, the themes, the contrast, the parallels, the colors 💛💙 I don't know how to properly describe it, like they are meant to be together, as foes, as friends, as companions. I felt this since Shadow Milk got introduced; but with chapters 7 and 8, this feeling got stronger.

...I would have gotten to drawing this if I wasn't busy with college.

But anyway, since you decided to read whatever I wrote here, can I comment on the legendary costumes' story?

It's a post-corruption/didn't fully became a beast SMilk, not his pre-corrupted form. His whole conversation with Truthless Recluse, I admit, got my head spinning. He talked about everyone having their truth, noting that TR's is "to protect others from anguish". He also mentioned that he went through the same despair as TR (continuing the canon of SM seeing himself in PV).

I wondered if the story shed some light into how Shadow Milk turned into a Beast. It is already known that he turned to deceit because of cookies around him choosing it as well and there's no further elaboration.

So, did he just corrupt just because? No, absolutely not. I think there were two traits of the Fount of Knowledge that were at play. First, I think he was somewhat of a crowd pleaser, as the Sage, he always tries to put on a show, make something entertaining, answer any inquiries. As a Beast, sure his showmanship is to entertain himself, but his whole deceit thing is giving those cookies what they want.

Second, and most important, I'm quite sure SMilk fears/hates rejection. Turning to falsities is rejecting knowledge after all.

Shadow Milk Cookie became who he is as a way to lash out at the rejection of his knowledge, to give them the performance they wanted to see.

Tangent but, when Pure Vanilla offers him his friendship, the whole fearing rejection explains why not only he rejects it, but in such fury, leaving the whole showman act. (Image below to break monotony, I'm just proud of this little section)

I want to go back to the truths the Sage comments on, what's his that make him curse himself? Going by the Recluse's, I guess is 'to give others knowledge', but that alone couldn't give him despair. I think there has to be a second part to the statement.

At the end of the story, the Recluse is gone, and the Sage hears cookies still pursuing the truth. So, the Truthless Recluse 'complete' truth will be 'to protect others from anguish (here, the cruel truth), but there would always be cookies seeking it' And with that logic, the Fount of Knowledge is 'to give others knowledge, but there will always be cookies that will reject it'.

No matter his title, prestige or merit, not everyone will like it. Could the Fount had gone insane searching for a knowledge that will get everyone to accept him, could it be that when he reached the Peak of Truth, he felt like the universe pulled a sick joke on him.

The Sage's eureka at the comment of the Peak of Truth having nothing be his realization that what he found was technically something he already knew, but denied for so long. Laid there, not as a sick prank, but a challenge to finally shed the lie. I mean, his other theory was that someone took all there was. (Does this make sense?, I'm still doubting my read)

But yeah, that Sage of Truth overcame his despair by accepting every part of that truth and still trying to live by the first part. And can I gush about his characterization? He's so jolly and enthusiastic, open for new ideas.

And the way he describes himself, a scholar and academic, but also a performer and an artist. Is just lovely how his showy persona is not just part of the charming liar act. Though that got me thinking, was the Fount also like this?

I mean in that era, cookies sought him out, he had his Spire of Knowledge and is very hinted he is connected to the Blueberry Yogurt Academy. Then is the Sage's "Not like those academics" line.

Wouldn't it be interesting that as the Fount, his way of giving knowledge was restricted by academia, that he wasn't able to be fully himself and when he became Shadow Milk Cookie, in a way he found freedom.

If that were the case, the Sage is even a happier situation as he can do what he wants as himself. And hey, I can make a parallel to Pure Vanilla, as he forgoes his title, like PV stops being king. He is in a humbler position, no spire but talking in a town square, where he found his crowd.

Though is kind of a sad that in a way the story still implies that he has no friends. Sure, lots of cookies see him every day, but they are there for the knowledge, not the Sage himself as they don't know or want to know about him. I guess his path would only be lonely...

Unless someone who understands came his way.

Anyway, thanks for reading my very long essay, I wanted to also speak of my early prediction of SM and PV switching sides and how this costume set somewhat gives me some of that, but again this is long, so I'll just leave it there. Have a sketch of the Sage of Truth and Compassionate Pure Vanilla having a tea party.

Below the art background without effects.

And the main part isolated.

Can't sleep, can't focus on my personal projects, my next semester is starting. Have some orbs that struggle at showing sincere affection.

smol animated mv thing for marx's bday :>
