Mark my words the illumination intro for the mario movie is gonna have a minion get the fire flower and then he throws a fireball and then it hits another minion and his ass catches on fire and he starts screaming and running around
The best/funniest way they could respond to the backlash is to just replace crisp rat's voice lines entirely with Charles Martinet making his standard Mario gibberish noises and change nothing else.
Just play it completely straight, leave all the other dialogue exactly as-is
Peach: And so, brave heroes from beyond, I implore you to save our kingdom. You are the only ones who can.
Luigi: What? No... no, that's crazy, we're not heroes, we're plumbers! Tell her, Mario!
Mario: HEEPITTYBIPPITYBOPPITYBUNO
Luigi: You.. You don't really mean that, do you? You can't, not after everything that's happened!
Mario: WAHOO MAMMA MIA
*Mario straightens his hat and grits his teeth as the camera zooms in on his face*
Mario:
Mario: YIPPEE
he didnt even try. like jack black actually made his voice fit bowser you almost can't tell its him and then you have mario whos like "hey in case you forgot i am voiced by chris pratt who didnt even fucking try and i will talk like this for two hours"
this is the funniest thing
Charlie Day Luigi: HERES A-MY BROTHER MARIO NOW TO TELL YOU A WHOLE-A HEAPING SPAGHETTI PILE OF INFORMATIONI!!! Chris Pratt Mario: Hello Luigi.

Pro Tip: The Way You End a Sentence Matters
Here is a quick and dirty writing tip that will strengthen your writing.
In English, the word at the end of a sentence carries more weight or emphasis than the rest of the sentence. You can use that to your advantage in modifying tone.
Consider:
In the end, what you said didn't matter.
It didn't matter what you said in the end.
In the end, it didn't matter what you said.
Do you pick up the subtle differences in meaning between these three sentences?
The first one feels a little angry, doesn't it? And the third one feels a little softer? There's a gulf of meaning between "what you said didn't matter" (it's not important!) and "it didn't matter what you said" (the end result would've never changed).
Let's try it again:
When her mother died, she couldn't even cry.
She couldn't even cry when her mother died.
That first example seems to kind of side with her, right? Whereas the second example seems to hold a little bit of judgment or accusation? The first phrase kind of seems to suggest that she was so sad she couldn't cry, whereas the second kind of seems to suggest that she's not sad and that's the problem.
The effect is super subtle and very hard to put into words, but you'll feel it when you're reading something. Changing up the order of your sentences to shift the focus can have a huge effect on tone even when the exact same words are used.
In linguistics, this is referred to as "end focus," and it's a nightmare for ESL students because it's so subtle and hard to explain. But a lot goes into it, and it's a tool worth keeping in your pocket if you're a creative writer or someone otherwise trying to create a specific effect with your words :)
Helpful things for action writers to remember
Sticking a landing will royally fuck up your joints and possibly shatter your ankles, depending on how high you’re jumping/falling from. There’s a very good reason free-runners dive and roll.
Hand-to-hand fights usually only last a matter of seconds, sometimes a few minutes. It’s exhausting work and unless you have a lot of training and history with hand-to-hand combat, you’re going to tire out really fast.
Arrows are very effective and you can’t just yank them out without doing a lot of damage. Most of the time the head of the arrow will break off inside the body if you try pulling it out, and arrows are built to pierce deep. An arrow wound demands medical attention.
Throwing your opponent across the room is really not all that smart. You’re giving them the chance to get up and run away. Unless you’re trying to put distance between you so you can shoot them or something, don’t throw them.
Everyone has something called a “flinch response” when they fight. This is pretty much the brain’s way of telling you “get the fuck out of here or we’re gonna die.” Experienced fighters have trained to suppress this. Think about how long your character has been fighting. A character in a fist fight for the first time is going to take a few hits before their survival instinct kicks in and they start hitting back. A character in a fist fight for the eighth time that week is going to respond a little differently.
ADRENALINE WORKS AGAINST YOU WHEN YOU FIGHT. THIS IS IMPORTANT. A lot of times people think that adrenaline will kick in and give you some badass fighting skills, but it’s actually the opposite. Adrenaline is what tires you out in a battle and it also affects the fighter’s efficacy - meaning it makes them shaky and inaccurate, and overall they lose about 60% of their fighting skill because their brain is focusing on not dying. Adrenaline keeps you alive, it doesn’t give you the skill to pull off a perfect roundhouse kick to the opponent’s face.
Swords WILL bend or break if you hit something hard enough. They also dull easily and take a lot of maintenance. In reality, someone who fights with a sword would have to have to repair or replace it constantly.
Fights get messy. There’s blood and sweat everywhere, and that will make it hard to hold your weapon or get a good grip on someone.
A serious battle also smells horrible. There’s lots of sweat, but also the smell of urine and feces. After someone dies, their bowels and bladder empty. There might also be some questionable things on the ground which can be very psychologically traumatizing. Remember to think about all of the character’s senses when they’re in a fight. Everything WILL affect them in some way.
If your sword is sharpened down to a fine edge, the rest of the blade can’t go through the cut you make. You’ll just end up putting a tiny, shallow scratch in the surface of whatever you strike, and you could probably break your sword.
ARCHERS ARE STRONG TOO. Have you ever drawn a bow? It takes a lot of strength, especially when you’re shooting a bow with a higher draw weight. Draw weight basically means “the amount of force you have to use to pull this sucker back enough to fire it.” To give you an idea of how that works, here’s a helpful link to tell you about finding bow sizes and draw weights for your characters. (CLICK ME)
If an archer has to use a bow they’re not used to, it will probably throw them off a little until they’ve done a few practice shots with it and figured out its draw weight and stability.
People bleed. If they get punched in the face, they’ll probably get a bloody nose. If they get stabbed or cut somehow, they’ll bleed accordingly. And if they’ve been fighting for a while, they’ve got a LOT of blood rushing around to provide them with oxygen. They’re going to bleed a lot.
Here’s a link to a chart to show you how much blood a person can lose without dying. (CLICK ME)

Hopefully this helps someone out there. If you reblog, feel free to add more tips for writers or correct anything I’ve gotten wrong here.
do you see this shit my liege
actually tumblr does have pvp enabled it’ scalled you assholes circling around my perfectly normal posts and chanting “containment breach” until it summons the bloodthirsty swarm of psychic piranhas this site has instead of an algorithm
Please kick it with your little cousins, nieces/nephews and siblings on breaks when you come home. You have no idea how cool you might be to them. Ask them about school and their hobbies. Please let them know you care and love them. Don’t ignore the kids. Please.
As more people use tumblr blaze and inevitably make asses of themselves, I think this is a good time to remind people that it’s never ok to send someone messages to kill themself, no matter who they are. Your first reaction upon seeing someone get dunked on should not be to go to their askbox and harass them. Block people if they upset you that badly. Death threats aren’t the cool funny “own” you think it is.
every so often i just yell HIS OWN BROTHER?? at my friends, so, this episode was fun :) can luz pls catch a break now i am no longer asking
i drew what I think the golden guard before hunter/darius’ mentor mightve looked like. also I just rlly wanted to draw the dude with long hair
a comprehensive list of all things sus about Adrian Graye
ok so i have been slightly obsessed with the illusion coven head since his introduction in hunting palisman, but now that we’ve had an episode with him as an actual character there are some things about him that feel super suspicious and i’m going to try my best to explain them here
1:Despite being the head of the illusion coven, We never actually see him cast any illusions.
When we’re first introduced to him when he tries to trick the school into joining coven he mentions that the illusion of him was cast by a different coven scout
“Tom, that Adrian illusion was lacking a certain, hmm? You get me?”
and given his need to yell for the illusion to end rather than just stopping it himself, we can assume that he wasn’t in control of the illusion in that scene.
We can probably apply this logic to his later scene with the fake willow and Belos - as we’ve seen in the past that illusions need a constant focus when cast by a witch, and he seemed a bit too concentrated on bullying his actors and kicking hunter in the back of the head to be casting anything.
Him snapping his fingers and the Belos illusion vanishing could either be read as him dispelling the illusion or calling of the two Guards behind it, but given the lack of evidence towards the spell belonging to him, im choosing to believe the latter.
this leads us onto the next few points:

...After this episode, that gag of Gus’ illusions going out of his control to act on their own, misbehaving against his orders like they have their own rebellious minds that turn on their creator; Sure takes on a new meaning huh?
I wonder if it’s like a representation of Gus’ own anxieties and insecurity over his abilities spiraling out of control, via his own magic refusing to comply... Like he’s trying to tell his mind to comply and get it together, which then just adds to this shot;
As if Gus has lost his patience with his self-sabotaging mind and is telling it to knock it off, which I can def relate to.
try, try your whole life to be righteous and be good wind up on your own floor choking on blood

I’m obsessed with teenagers who turn 18 and post shit like this it’s the funniest thing in the world:
what I love about tumblr blaze is that it forces people to realize how insulated their bubbles are. tumblr IS really good at allowing users to curate their own personalized experiences, but it also means that people start to think that the drama, opinions, and experiences of their little online sphere is shared by the majority of tumblr (it’s not), so when they blaze their posts they’re just airing their dirty laundry to people that are outside of their echo chamber, and dealing with the consequences of people not automatically agreeing with them. and let me tell you it is delicious to watch
