...Someone order a crapload of drabbles?

Nov 02, 2008 22:32

Man, the comm's been pretty quiet recently. I hope people are still checking in or at least playing massive amounts of Mother 3 now that it's been fanslated (and I totally didn't make up a word just now shh) *cough*

Anyway, I come bearing gifts! I'm ridin' in on Puri's coattails and doing that drabble challenge thing. Mostly EarthBound/Mother 2; ( Read more... )

Ah! You're right, the community has been dead a while. I've been meaning to write a few but keep getting distracted. GG, me.

But these are fantastic! I love the way you write everyone, especially Pokey. And the last one... totally sent shivers down my spine. Tanehineri was enough of a mindfuck as it was but the way you described everything made it 10x worse. In a good way, of course, but still... ;_;

Thanks! Nice to see that there're still a few stragglers around here.

I think I got the idea for the last one while I was in Tanehineri, actually. One of the nightmare-Clauses actually said "Feel my heart" and I was like, "oh God, he means literally, doesn't he?" The game didn't go that way, of course, but the idea stayed in my brain. Thanks, Itoi. D:

And I totally just realized that every other drabble is about Pokey. Awesome. XD (I think he's ruined me for other villains, I swear to God.)

...I think this is the only semblance of living fandom I have found on LJ. XD;

Like soulrockcandy said, your Pokey-muse is fantastic. And, too, like we really needed more brain-breakage after that stupid swamp. (I think I had to literally stop playing a handful of times because I would just be staring at my screen thinking "WHAT. IN THE HELL." and couldn't go on for a little bit because it was so awful.)

To add something a bit new, that Tracy/Picky one spoke to me. I've been thinking a lot about Picky since beating M3 and wondering just what he was doing and thinking in all of that time his brother was gone for M2, but, I mean, now that none of them will ever see Pokey again... that's so strange to deal with.

Thanks! I think playing Mother 3 allowed me to get a little deeper inside Pokey's head (as disturbing as that is sometimes). And I feel your pain about the swamp-- I think the mailboxes were the worst part about it and yet I couldn't stop looking in them. D:

I always got the sense that Picky would miss him. I mean, he's like the only one in that family who isn't conceited at all, and I get the feeling that he'd still have something of a fraternal bond with Pokey regardless of what an asshat he was.
