I may need to take a long break away from social media. There's a lot I need to unpack and at the end of the day, it's my fault. I don't know if I'm gonna just delete this account or not, but I just need time to think things over. If anyone needs me, contact me via Discord.

I'm gonna be blunt. Once Biden goes into office. Once Trump is out. This is not over. Like, not even at all. You think it's "Oh, finally, I can go back to my normal"? Nope. There is no normal. Biden and Kamala want to keep things status quo, and we can't let that.

What's fascinating about Wapeach/Preach is that she resembles a lot of the main Time Bokan villain trio. Given Wario and Waluigi were designed off of them as well, this makes sense.

It has nothing to do with this. As explained in a magazine interview earlier this year, Toei specifically said they took precautions to make sure editing was significantly easier for International markets, and a cost of this was removing majority of the blood from the series.
