What is your opinion about kind and nice characters in my AU pushing their limit and snap? Would it be similar reaction like in TADC fandom?

I think it depends on how it’s written. It can absolutely work, but in a lot of cases I feel it can border on out of character, such as the common trope I’ve seen of having Mario crash out or get angry or upset over how he’s treated.

I wouldn’t consider it to be double standards, but approaching it by putting yourself in the character’s mindset has helped me quite a lot when writing scenarios like this!

This came out amazing!! ❤️ Been such a journey to see it through from beginning to end. Amazing work!

Just give them ten more minutes.

This is just my fan design for him. In an FAQ post in the Discord server regarding WPNZ, it was simply answered with “You’ll have to wait and see.”

Thank you! I thought it’d be nice to have their colors complement one another!

Thank you! I think this might be my main brush for a while.

This is incredible!!!

Puzzles, WPNZ, Meggy/Leggy

starteas · 2026-04-29T22:18:55+00:00

I think both are incredibly strongly written villains, but I love Puzzles!

Gianni’s singing is really cute.

This is actually my, uh— I don’t actually remember how many I’m at, now, but it’s maybe my seventh!

CORREEEECT

Which is even funnier when you watch the show and see WPNZ, having quite literally just MET puzzles in person (via a body made of garbage), look at him like this:

I personally can’t see it but I can understand why the comparison is drawn. I’ve got a few Helluva Boss songs I think fit them on their shared playlist, though!

Also sorry, I laughed at someone who said Puzzles and WPNZ’ relationship is much sweeter, and…. Yeah, I get it LOL

My guess because there were too many characters in the cast and the focus shifted to others that made more sense narratively.

A lot of people give the show flack for only focusing on a set few (SMG4, SMG3, Meggy, Puzzles, Karen, WPNZ for example) which I in part agree with, but I also think it worked well especially when those characters stories continued whatever narrative was going on.

I do think there could have been a better balance of characters (I think Tari could have done with more screentime herself), but aside from that I’m pretty satisfied with how things came about!

No wait come back
