Omg. I lov the cowboy so muchhhh. Can you please draw em defeating the king of bugs? (You know who it is hehe)
yeah
Big ideas for little men, today.
Working on my Olimar/Olimin designs <3
I had to draw this one. . .
LOUIE. THE CAPTAIN HAS BEEN IN TEARS ALL WEEK. WE KNOW YOU TOOK HIS UGLY YELLOW RUBBER THING HE LOVES SO MUCH WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT WHERE IS IT unless it was not you in which case have a lovely day! :^)
I'll be honest, I didn't think I would have to have another rescue mission in place. It looks like that trinket Louie's been safeguarding in his pockets all this time belongs to somebody else. . . I'm so sorry about the trouble. I called him over to ask him about this, but he only told me that I'd "never catch him alive!" and promptly ran off into the bedroom.
. . . I think his left boot was squeaking. . .

Can't have the patience of a saint if you don't beat the shit out of something.
Who made him so mad omg,,
Serein here— Nobody exclusively on Tumblr knows this, but I've been writing in the canon galactic common cursive from Pikmin 4 that I deciphered (chart available on the SAD Dad blog) almost constantly. It's in my agenda, my personal notes, anything I want to read to myself. . . I thought I'd post this ask rewritten in the proper font! I imagine that Olimar is a traditional sort who sees importance in sitting down and meditating over some ink. He'll handwrite his mail and scan it over into digital text! Of course, he can't do this out on the field, but it's his favourite part of his nighttime routine. . . Well, besides reading all of his inbox, first, of course.
Hey olimar
How many pikpik carrots could a pikmin pick if a pikmin could pick pikpik carrots.
What a cute tongue twister! I tried to read this one out loud to Louie, and I didn't do all that well at all. He just raised his brow and admonished me! "As many PikPik carrots as a pikmin could pick, if pikmin could pick PikPik carrots. What kind of question is that?" He said, clean as a whistle. I don't think it's very nice to show up your elders, but it was pretty impressive.
Does that answer your question?

Final, for now.
Another leafling Olimar concept.
Long day at work. (Wereleafling) Olimar can't seem to catch a break, but Lou' happens to love big shaggy monsters, so taxing secrets like these even out in the end. Imagine finding this in the breakroom.
Angry lad. I wonder what happened.
I love your wereleafling olimar so much and I got a question how does olimar feel about that?
I have a LOT of lore in progress for how Olimar's curse came about, and how it works. With much vagueness: resentful, but resigned. In this AU, the deity (deities?) alluded to throughout the games are very much real and very temperamental, but otherwise champion Olimar for the sake of a good story and don't let him die very easily. He made some bad choices. He's come to terms with his lapse in judgment, even though he thinks he should have been cut some slack for all the stress. Not your traditional werebeast. Gentle inspiration from LOZ: Twilight Princess, somewhere in there. All of it has really helped him identify the tacit joy and purpose in survivalism, and it gives him an excuse for wanting to go back to the planet (which he's not too happy with himself for).
(Please ask more. It makes me SO happy!)
Does his family knows about his condition?
No; Louie is the only one who is aware of the specifics behind Olimar's condition, and also the only person with a good idea of how it works. Lou' comes in clutch pretty often, but doesn't mind handling it. Olimar's curse flares up under stress. As an office worker with a short temper, it's a hard life. He's started hiding in his room or taking long walks outside when he gets grumpy. Olimar's wife believes that this is because he's either avoiding his family and wants to be away, or is avoiding upsetting them out of guilt for having been away. The last thing Olimar wants is to accidentally hurt his family. Penultimate: to realise that family life won't ever feel normal again. A lot of his behaviour is avoidance. There have been a few close calls. His daughter is a little wary. His son is just frustrated. . . But they're not unhappy or unsafe, and everybody is still having a good time together.
