😲 WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!: The Crossword "Puzzle Mates" Edition 😲

 And I'm mainly talking about the specific ones that I've found that were officially drawn by Susumu Matsushita so far. Even I just wanted to get this out of the way first before I go into these characters, in one of my previous posts, I think I got a little confused that the main Crossword Clown mascot guy that we got was actually named: "Chibi-Kura" at some point before I realized that there was smaller clown guy that I wasn't paying attention to when I was trying to do a bit of research back then. It also doesn't help that there's no proper archive of these "Puzzle Mate" books since I can probably just imagine that these were "for kids" due to the brightly colored cartoony characters alongside with the official Susumu Matsushita website not updating and archiving the artist's future or some previous works ever since somewhere around the 2010's (if I'm not mistaken with that). Not to mention that I thought that the clown guy with the green hair that I thought of was supposed to be like the main Crossword Clown despite that's actually supposed to be like this prototype design (and they don't tell ya that) on how he's much taller and lankier compared to the finalized design on how he's much shorter now and etc... Even the actual "Chibi-Kura" character hasn't been used in a long while that can be considered a "lost character" by now ever since that brown little furry guy (AKA Peter, who is a cat) basically replaced him as he hangs out with Crossword Clown on a bunch of Crossword Mate covers.

Aside from already knowing Crossword Clown, Peter and Chibi-Kura's names, there's like a few other characters that I know of who has a name popped-up has that's "Bird-kun" (the orange bird fella with the yellow beak) and "King" (the lion wearing the crown) while I was trying to do a bit of research in Japanese. And it would've been nice if the official Susumu Matsushita website included those new characters by now.

As for the characters on what they're the mascots for, you already have Crossword Clown and that little furry guy that would casually appear on (but it used to been Chibi-Kura before that you-know-who replaced Chibi-Kura in many of Crossword Mate's future covers that I've already talked about before) and speaking of that little furry guy, he also has appeared without hanging around with the clown guy on one of the spin-offs called: "Crossword On!" as Peter's the main mascot for. And as for King and Bird-kun, King is the mascot for "Crossword Mega King" and Bird-kun's mascot position is for "Deluxe Crossword". Plus, as for the other character that I haven't mentioned yet, there seems to be another lion character than just King alone in this very case! And with that character, there's "Tamutamu-kun" as he's the mascot for "Super Crossword" (and he's a child btw).

So yeah, basically did my research on this whole list of mascots for the "Puzzle Mates" while writing this out.

TL: LtD Custom Food Ideas (Part 2)

 Just some more ideas to get out of the way, so I can move onto future ideas for this game!

And so, what's been pictured here are:

1. Mac and cheese (my favorite)

2. The McChoco Potato... Aw, yeah! And I've heard about this ever since like a decade ago. But there's a way that you can do this at home if you get some fries (no matter if it's McDonald's fries or your own choice of fries) and some chocolate syrup to drizzle on there.

3. Popcorn (especially I'm going with the movie theater kind in this case)

4. Pudding

5. White Cheddar Cheez-Its

6. Cottage cheese

7. Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tarts

And finally, 8. Chocolate Chip Melonpan!

Probably I'll talk more about these foods within the game someday, but I also got some more possible food ideas to come.

Mario (From G&B) in GM4:SS

 Or at least tried to make Mario (in his "girl form") alongside with a custom coord since I can't to a M-shaped pattern for the shirt for this game. And not only I just recently made him in this game, but also in the PriPara 3DS games! Even I'm still planning to make an actual human version of him whenever that physical copy of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream comes soon (as of writing this out).

With that said, you're definitely gonna see more G&B fan-content whenever I get that Tomodachi Life Switch game!

appreciation post for: fancy ahoge necky

 Yep, had to use this image again to do this meme since I love on how Necky looks here! And I've already used this image in a previous meme if you wanna know a bit more about it.

A Recent ILPP Event in 2026...

 Just don't know on what to call this one... And there was another recent event with all the characters wearing t-shirts of contest winners that won through by using the "Photo Studio" thing that I just didn't get (again as I feel like it wasn't that important for my time). Plus, is it just me or June-O-Ween/Summerween came early?

Not to mention that Cosmo is forgetting her ears (or doesn't feel like wearing them) for her coord.

Baloo Finds Alexandra's Comment Going Too Far

Well gee, looks like someone was hard to please! And this was about me as the admin of my Punirunes group... 

Like, I already get it, it's my group that I should be responsible for, but there's no need to attack or lash out on me like this! No matter if it's just that "Hapirun Incident" that I was mistakenly "rude" to her in a way (or more like patronizing, that is) a while back or over my opinion(s) about some silicone cases that I don't like that I just don't want in the group anymore. Not to say I'm ruining everyone's fun over this! And just like many of my members, I totally wanna have fun for my own group as a freakin' hobby for something niche. But of course, I'm also into other niche things that I also wanna focus on from time to time such as Necky the Fox, more of Susumu Matsushita's art and so on!

 

Even she just basically annoyed me with a few of her recent comments lately... Such as this one being pictured here and another one that she was calling me "rude" to all my group members. Yes, really. Despite this, I've tried to be nice to her as I could (while including many of my group members as possible) for last few years. And while she's gone (that I thankfully don't have to deal with her anymore), I'm still aiming to be an decent FB admin to this day.

Not to mention that I just created this "DeviantArt-esque" meme that I did on my own without using anyone else's DA templates since I feel like that one meme blank template was a bit much on the writing for me.

TL: LtD Custom Food Ideas (Part 1)

 Moving aside pets for food ideas now! Yep, not only you can create your very own pets, but various food items that you wanna have as your own! And you gotta draw them (unless if you know on how to mess with PNGs of other images that you can insert into the game, but I'm not like that with my Switch tho).

Anyway, let's get into the list, shall we?

1. Lindt Lindor Dark Chocolate Truffles

2. Mallo Cups (Definitely not Reese's!)

3. Toppin' Gyu

4. Milky Way Midnight (despite it used to been with the "Dark" word added before they took it out).

5. MEGA STUF OREOs

6. The generic Coca-Cola parody in Umaru-Chan?

7. The "Twinkie Weiner Sandwich" from UHF.

8. Two types of "Melon Cream Soda" that are in green and blue.

9. Hot Fudge Sundae flavored Pop-Tarts

10. A sugar cookie that's in my main favorite color.

11. Gummy Bears, basically.

12. Umeboshi/Pickled Plums (And that's from PriPara on how it looks like despite I'm not gonna draw that much within the game).

13. Melonpan

14. ZAP (An UK ice cream bar that totally reminds me of "Avenger/Cool" Chuck E. Cheese!)

15. A "zebra" chocolate-flavored donut (Yeah, yeah... The game already has a donut, but it looks pretty plain that they should've added more donut options if you ask me).

And finally, 16. Grilled cheese sandwich 

Even many of my choices  are unsurprisingly, just more chocolate-related choices into the mix (when the game already had a fair amount of chocolate-related items in there, but I can't get enough of it lol). And I feel like I wanna do another part based on this pretty soon.
