I'm unsure on whether or not to make a blog post about this, but I guess I will.
Due to creative differences, I am no longer a staff member of the Jawbreaker Chronicle. No, there was no falling, and there was no fight. We just agreed to go our separate ways.
In other news, I'm working on Chapter Three of Ed's Game Room: Pokémon Blue Version. I cannot guarantee a new chapter every Tuesday, but I will try to do a chapter less than fourteen days after the last one. The Eds will likely make their way past Brock before I start writing for the next playthrough by the Eds. That's right; I'll be going back and forth among games. The next story will be about the Eds playing Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back. The Eds will get about eight crystals before I go back to writing for Pokémon Blue Version, and no, they won't be doing the levels in order. I usually play the levels in that game in order (...Level 12, Level 13, Level 14...) until the last Warp Room, where I do levels 22, 23, and 24 in that order before gradually getting to Levels 21 and finally Level 25. However, I decided that the Eds would probably not do the levels in order... except for Double D (possibly).
I'm still working on The NEW Grim Edventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy by the way. I might even work on an episode of another Ed, Edd n Eddy fan fiction (like Another Road or a certain other story).
Apparently, nobody but CartoonEdsBoy2009 cares that I ended The All-New Ed, Edd n Eddy Show: The Sweet Escape. I will be writing its spiritual successor with no name eventually. That is all for now.

MAN, IT'S COLD!
A lot has changed since I last made a blog. I now have a series that will hopefully continue to have frequent updates. I could talk about Ed's Game Room here, but I've discussed it much more thoroughly here and here and here. There's been a big snow storm, which means I might be able to work on stories more frequently for the next few days. Here are a few updates on certain stories.
I'd also like to talk about the future of this story. You see, Episode Eighteen will be the last episode of Season One. Hopefully, I'll be able to find the time to write a second season, even if it's only a few episodes. I counted, and there are at least twenty-two episodes I would like to do by the end of the series. Many of these stories involve the Eds going to school, like the "Chicken Lab" episode or the "Nergal Jr. becomes the teacher" episode. I'm not sure which stories will be featured and which stories will ultimately be cut.
I'd like to discuss Episode Fourteen and Episode Eighteen. Episode Fourteen is likely going to be very long, like the Halloween special, which recently took me over fifty minutes to read. Episode Fourteen will use elements from the Cartoon Network Invaded mini-series, which involved the Eds and Billy & Mandy. I have a lot of ideas for Episode Fourteen, but I won't spoil too much for you here.
Episode Eighteen will be about the Venusian Grim Reaper (as opposed to the Martian Grim Reaper) convincing Grim to come stay with him on another planet, where his contract with the Eds holds no validity (I don't know how that works either). I don't have as many ideas for this one, so it might remain a chapter of standard length like Episode Eight (I think that Episode Eight only took twenty minutes to read).
Overall, this series still holds a lot of promise, and I hope to continue it for a long, long time.
In case you guys are wondering about how I go about writing Ed's Game Room––assuming you've never looked at the thread on Earth 2 Edd––I usually record the footage onto a DVD+R or DVD-R (which requires a lot less effort than you would think), and I later write the story while viewing the footage I recorded. Right now, I've gotten up to Lavender Town on Pokémon Blue Version, but I'm taking a break, which might end very soon. Maybe. I might get distracted by beating the Elite Four on the original Pokémon Sapphire Version. The point is: I'm pretty far ahead of where the actual story is now. I've just written the part where the Eds decide on which Pokémon to get. Heck, I haven't even written the part where they obtain their Pokémon. Gosh, I really should get to work on this story.
I'm afraid I can't give much more of an update. I don't want to spoil too much for you guys.
The Future of NEW Grim Edventures
This story will hopefully be continued relatively soon. I've mentioned on the story's page on the Ed Fanon Wiki (you may have to view the page's history) that this story is on hold right now. However, last night I got a little bit of work done on Episode Ten. Sometimes I just become stumped on how to handle the episode. Recently I watched a video about a guy named Captain Pronin. It was hilarious, and it reminded me of why I like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy so much. The writer is constantly trying to make the audience laugh. I tried that approach with Episode Seven (chapter nine and ten), and I really like that particular chapter. Thus, I think I'll apply this technique to Episode Ten. It'll make a lot of sense when you look at the episode's plot, which, as of right now, is a secret.I'd also like to talk about the future of this story. You see, Episode Eighteen will be the last episode of Season One. Hopefully, I'll be able to find the time to write a second season, even if it's only a few episodes.

Ed's Game Room
My latest story Ed's Game Room: Pokémon Blue Version will hopefully resume soon. In case it wasn't made clear by the story summary on fanfiction.net, the Eds will be picking Squirtle for their playthrough of Pokémon Blue Version. The gyms will also be out of order, so after Misty is defeated, the Eds will take on Koga and then Lt. Surge, then Blaine. Giovanni will still be last, as if I had a choice in the matter.In case you guys are wondering about how I go about writing Ed's Game Room––assuming you've never looked at the thread on Earth 2 Edd––I usually record the footage onto a DVD+R or DVD-R (which requires a lot less effort than you would think), and I later write the story while viewing the footage I recorded.

I'm afraid I can't give much more of an update. I don't want to spoil too much for you guys.
Other Stories
I have other stories planned, like that Cartoon Network Mega Crossover story and, of course, Ed, Edd n Eddy Another Road. Only time will tell which stories will actually get published. It's probably going to be the CN Mega Crossover, though.Closing Thoughts
In closing, I hope I have updated whomever it may concern on what I'll be doing on fanfiction.net for a little while. Well, that's pretty much it. I don't have any other closing thoughts. The Sonic Boom T.V. series looks pretty good so far, even if I've only caught the first four or five segments. [Awkwardly looks around the room]Saturday, December 27, 2014
The Story Behind The NEW Grim Edventures [Part One]
Well, here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the moment none of you have been waiting for: I am going to discuss the creation of The NEW Grim Edventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy. Yes, I know a thesis shouldn't say "I am going to discuss..." Get off my back!! GEEZ!!
Naturally, all stories start as ideas, often inspired by other stories. Whether fictional or not, these other stories can have a big impact on how the story comes out. Now, you all probably know about Technomaru, but I'm getting ahead of myself. We need to start from the very beginning.
Childhood Stories
When I was young, I had a lot of ideas for Ed, Edd n Eddy fan fictions. This was long before I heard the term "fan fiction," as I rarely got on the Internet for anything other than cartoonnetwork.com. The stories I wrote were written as very sloppy screenplays. The first book started where "The Eds are Coming, the Eds are Coming" left off. The Eds eventually meet their salvation: Eddd, Edddd, n Eddea [pronounced "Ed DEE" with a lot more emphasis on the DEE], but the less I say about these stories the better. There was, however, one story that I should bring up: It was a crossover between Ed, Edd n Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and Codename: Kids Next Door.
My beginnings on fanfiction.net
Now, the way I was introduced to fanfiction.net was simple. I was Googling something (I think it was about the quickly cancelled Underfist spin-off), and I ran across an image that linked to the Ed Fanon Wiki, which I previously had no idea existed. The page was about the story The Grim EDventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy. I was hooked on the story. I read every chapter in a few months. However, I was disappointed to find that the story hadn't been updated in over three years. It still hasn't been updated. I don't think Technomaru will ever finish it to be quite honest.
I eventually decided to join Fanfiction.net on March 31, 2012. I was heartbroken to find that I would have to wait until April 2, 2012 to post a story. My first story was Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Sweet Escape, and I've got to say: It was terrible. These eight chapters are probably the worst things I had written in about three years. The James's were Gary-Stus; the obscure references were all over the place; the plot was terrible... I was only 14 years old at the time, and I had no idea what I was doing. I decided to get a Beta Reader, which amounted to me pitching an idea and his saying "Interesting." I don't mean to talk bad about him, but that's all he would say. I eventually decided I was fine with doing the stories myself. I had other ideas for stories: like The Remarkable Adventures of Sonic and Koozaxx, which I eventually cancelled. What you are being linked to is a wiki page that is under my user space at the Sonic Fanon Wiki, which means you can't really search the Sonic Fanon Wiki for that page, but you could potentially find it on Google. The story was a bit of mess too, but I did have a little more restraint with what I posted on the wiki pages ...mostly because I was embarrassed by my first Ed, Edd n Eddy story. I posted two chapters of a redux of the story involving one OC named Jack, but I think I've just about given up on this story.

I posted two chapters of a redux of the story involving one OC named Jack, but I think I've just about given up on this story.
I started a fan film called Ed, Edd n Eddy: the Live Action Movie in April 2013 with a friend with whom I've since lost contact. The script was pretty bad. It was about the Eds trying to save their high school over Summer Vacation, about three years after Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show. I cancelled it because I was tired of working on it and because nobody was truly willing to be an actor for me. As of writing this, I live in a small town. I still get comments about this project, and I'd like to just move on. However, this was how I joined the Ed Fanon Wiki and Earth 2 Edd, which are two things I've greatly enjoyed using.
I checked out the author notes to his story about the Old and New Cartoon Network characters battling each other (I refuse to read it for reasons I'll explain in a little bit), and it seems he's been very depressed lately. Thus, I'll make this quick. I'm no longer a fan of the series. Looking back, its quality went through some very exponential decay, starting very early on and not stopping until it was an absolute mess. I tried writing my own ending with no success, so I figured: Why not make my own story?
Thus, with a little encouragement from a friend at Earth 2 Edd, The NEW Grim Edventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy was born.
Oh, I suppose I should explain myself. I'm not reading Technomaru's story on Old CN versus New CN because I would like to write my own Cartoon Network Mega-Crossover, and I don't want to be influenced by his story. I did, however, read the first chapter of "Cartoon Network Laff-a-Lympics."
I suppose I could wait until next I update to discuss episode one, making this post "Episode Zero." However, I don't like the idea of making an episode zero, as it makes things confusing, and I think there are some who agree. Here goes nothing.

Episode One "Dream a Little Ed"
Now, this first episode is something that I'll be replacing with a much more well-written version. I really don't like how it can fit onto my computer screen with little effort.
I decided to make this story take place after Season 1 of Ed, Edd n Eddy because of various things. I felt that it needed to not be the first episode in a sense. I wanted this to be written in an alternate universe where Ed, Edd n Eddy was cancelled after the first season and Danny Antonucci gave the characters to Maxwell Atoms for his Grim Adventures series. I guess my philosophy was that Billy & Mandy came after Grim, but I guess I didn't think too hard. Maxwell Atoms stated in an interview that he made a short film called "Billy & Mandy" (an animation cell can be seen in the Grim Adventures video game), and that he later discovered that the Grim Reaper was what was missing from the show. Maybe I was thinking that Danny was missing something, but then, where did Dracula, Jack, Nergal, Nigel Planter, and all the other characters come from? I just find this philosophy hard to believe. I'm thinking of changing the back story, so that this is a reboot of Ed, Edd n Eddy and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Well, that's the cosmic explanation, at least; it's not really a reboot, but I still like to explain––Oh, never mind.
I was really lazy with this story. I really didn't believe in "Show, don't tell" as one of the first reviews pointed out. Thanks, dude. I honestly thought he was talking about a television show at first (laughs). Ed mistook Grim for Kermit the Frog, but I would not do this joke now. It's not that stupid people do stupid things for no reason. No, stupid people do stupid things for stupid reasons. Watch some bad episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants (preferably those with Patrick Star) to see what I'm talking about. If you like that sort of thing, then that's okay. I'm not going to judge you for liking a bad cartoon.
As for Eddy's incantation, this idea came from an abandoned project. It was an original idea initially going by the misnomer Dexter Bravo J. This idea later changed to the acronym GTCXJ. I believe it stood for Golden Taxi Carbo/Carbon _____ J, but this was abandoned. I don't know what the "X" stood for, by the way. It was just a combination of some of my favorite letters of the English alphabet. I don't remember much about what this project was about, to be honest, but I still worked this into the episode, for some reason.
The line about Eddy's Yo Mama joke being so amazing that "it must be censored" came from an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast entitled "Batmantis," which was about people who worked on Batman. As for the idea of Eddy's Brother having a dark book, I forgot until writing the rough draft of this, but it actually came from the video game Ed, Edd n Eddy Scam of the Century. One of my "books" was going to feature an adaptation of that story, and it involved the occult (not that I knew that word back then), because there was no other explanation for the countless enemies you fight in Ed's story.
I believe Grim actually referenced Billy & Mandy when he mentioned "more children who aren't scared of [him]," which was a mistake on my part.
There's not much else. I suppose I should do Episode Two now.
Episode Two "Skeletons in the Water Ed"
I think I may have even less to say about this episode.
I wanted to differentiate myself from Technomaru's work by adding a subplot about the kids gradually realizing that Grim was the Eds' best friend forever. This was forgotten by Episode Five, by the way. I think the story was better for it, the way the original Grim Adventures was better for it. My desire for the kids to graduating realize Grim's existence is why the kids forget about Grim at the end of the chapter.
I should probably explain the episode titles. Basically, I was in the car, which had a DVD player, and I had the "first season" of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy on DVD. I wanted to watch Episode Eight, then when I was done, I wanted to watch Episode One. I decided to make a game of going from one end to the other. So I watched Episodes Eight, One, Seven, Two, Six, Three, Five, and Four in that order. That's how I titled the first eight episodes. I took a segment from Episode Eight and changed one word to "Ed," and that became the title for Episode One. I took a segment from Episode One and changed one word to "Ed," and that became the title for my Episode Two. This continued until just recently. I had decided a long time ago, not to continue it after Episode Eight, but it took a long time to get to Episode Nine. I don't know if I've explained this well enough or not (laughs).
I think there's a line in this chapter about redundancy that confuses me. I don't understand what exactly was redundant about the situation I was referring to. I guess there might have been a joke I cut out of this episode.
The animals in this story reference the Furious Five from Kung Fu Panda. The reference doesn't make sense, but at least it's not distracting.
In short, there isn't much to say about this episode. It's just not that great.

General Update
This isn't part of the retrospective, but I didn't want to make two separate blog posts. I've been very distracted from writing lately due to Pokémon Sapphire Version, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon Red Version, Pokémon Gold Version, and all of my Christmas gifts. I do hope to get an episode of The NEW Grim Edventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy out by the end of the first week of January 2015 because that's around the time I'll be starting a new semester of high school. I appreciate you guys being so patient.
Closing Thoughts
Yeah, this story was not off to a very good start. I've got to be honest, I don't become proud of an episode until Episode Six. Well, until next time I write one of these, [insert generic tagline here].

Yeah, About the NEW Grim Eds Halloween special
Well, it looks like I'm not going to make my self-determined deadline of October 25th for the Halloween special of The NEW Grim Edventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy. It's only slightly beyond being halfway done. I think. It's supposed to be four chapters instead of the usual three, but it might wind up being six chapters depending on how the development of the story goes. When Episode Ten is released (the Halloween special is Episode Nine), I'll try to do a sort of retrospective on the series here. I might even start after the Halloween special. I doubt anyone outside of my friends at Earth 2 Edd cares about this though, based on my page views. I've gotten like three page views in the past few weeks and those were probably from me. In short, I'm not happy with how this blog is doing.
More Delay on Episode Nine
I was thinking that I would have an overabundance of time to work on Episode Nine during Fall Break (which ran from October 13th to October 17th (not counting the two surrounding weekends). I was wrong.
My 15-year-old dog passed away on the Friday before Fall Break. I was heartbroken and unable to do much of anything when it came to the Internet. Then, I became sick on Saturday and Sunday (I won't discuss it here because there are just some things you don't post online). I spent much of Monday and Tuesday working on a stupid school project. I was out of town for much of Wednesday and almost all of Thursday. I finally finished the school project on Sunday night (for the most part. The teacher wants me to do corrections now). Then, Monday came around.
Now it's October 22nd. I'm having a lot of trouble with the story. I recently realized a big part of the battles throughout this episode didn't work in terms of storytelling. You'll see what I mean by "battles" when the episode is released. Luckily, I didn't get very far before deciding they didn't work. Thus, I've only had to redo one battle, but that's just it!! I don't have much done.
I'm also worried that the story is too violent for a K+ rating. I truly believe that the story thus far is appropriate for nine-year-olds, but I'm worried this upcoming chapter will change that. Of course, fanfiction.net will almost definitely disagree if they ever find my story. I don't know. Maybe it's because I don't remember properly, but I think that the fanfiction.net guidelines are a little off. Of course, there was one advice blog on Fiction Press (I don't know why he was posting his advice blog on Fiction Press either) that insisted that any violence whatsoever was automatically T and probably M. Kids can handle more than just Care Bears, okay? I understand that The Ren & Stimpy Show and Adventure Time may have a bit of content that kids shouldn't be seeing (actually, Ren & Stimpy probably has a lot of content that kids shouldn't be seeing), but––I'm getting into all sorts of different topics here!!
The point of what I was saying is this: I don't know if I'll look back and say, "This is too violent for kids" or not, and I don't want to have to come back and do it over because it will take too long. Thus, I sit here and wait, accomplishing nothing. I'm going to be honest, folks. I only want to work on the story at hand for a few scenes. After that, I want to move on. I want to do Billy & Mandy episodes like "Which Came First?" and "The Secret Snake Club," but I'll never get anything accomplished if I keep switching back and forth.
I Don't Know What to Do
I don't know what I'll do if I miss Halloween. It may take me even longer to get the story done due to a lack of motivation. I'm very motivated right now to get it done because of the incentive of getting a Holiday Special done during the appropriate time of year.
I really do appreciate all of the support my fans have given me, especially from CartoonEdsBoy2009. It's just that I don't want to shell out a mediocre product. I hope whoever's reading this will understand. Wait, was that "whoever' or "whomever." Aw, fiddlesticks.

About Episode Nine of NEW Grim Edventures
I'm back, but it may not be for long. I just wanted to publicly post a letter I've sent to all my followers, just in case… well, I guess maybe someone might follow the story without having an account to physically click the "Favorite/Follow this story" button. Mostly, I just want a source to give when I edit the Ed Fanon Wiki about this. First, I'll post the original PM I sent everyone, then, I'll give you guys a further update.
The Letter I Sent My Dear Followers
I am sending this message to all who favorited or followed my story or my account, because I need to say something important about this story.
Nergal won the poll, with three votes compared to the one vote of each of the losers. However, I am simply not a fan of Nergal. I think Nergal Jr. is a much more interesting character, and Hoss Delgado and Nigel Planter are also more interesting than Nergal. I started work on Nergal's episode by, at the latest, July 25, 2014, because I had writer's block with the original Episode Nine. By August 9, 2014, I was barely writing anything for said episode. I couldn't even stand to come up with ideas for future chapters, because I felt guilty about not writing for this chapter. At the same time, I had nothing to contribute to this episode. There was really no creative spark, except for a couple of jokes, so I had to force the "brainstorming" portion of the creation of this episode, instead of having fun deciding the beginning, middle, and end of the story. My internet was out for more than 48 hours, and during that time, I barely contributed to this story, one of the only things I could do on my computer without Internet. While it was out for the more than 48 hours, I spent more time responding to fans on my phone than I did working on the actual story.
I'm back in high school now, so I'll have less time to work on this. It is for everyone's best interest that I start work on a different episode. There's just no way I can get it done right now, and still have an interesting story for you guys to read. It took so much out of me, I couldn't even bring myself to write the Nigel Planter episode.
For those of you who don't know, this is a common thing for writers to go through, but most writers generally grow tired of their series in general. I don't feel that way yet; I don't consider this story to be stupid or boring, but I may get that way if I keep forcing this story. I'm sorry. I know some of you guys were probably really excited to see Nergal, but you deserve a better episode than what I was creating. From now on, I'll be doing polls that reflect on previous works rather than determine the outcome of future chapters. I hope you guys can forgive me and maybe even learn to appreciate why I'm doing this.
Also, in the last chapter, a character made a comment about how you shouldn't go to college. This is not entirely the message I wanted to convey. If you go to college to be a doctor, there's a good chance you can pay off your student loans. If you get a good amount of scholarship money, you may not have to take on too many student loans, and you'll be able to may it off in a relatively short amount of time. The point I was trying to make was that going to college is not the right decision for everybody. I won't talk any more about this topic, because it really depends on the situation. I do apologize for making this joke seem as though you should NEVER EVER go to college. It was uncalled for, and I'm sorry.
One more thing, I'm thinking of replacing Chapter One of this story, because it seems to be driving off a lot of potential readers, based on the view count of each individual chapter. If anyone is afraid of the changes that will be made to the first chapter, an original version of Chapter One will be made available at my blog spot before I post the new version. The URL is "reginaldkonga (dot) blogspot (dot) com" (you'll have to remove the (dot)'s and replace them with actual periods). There's not much on the blog at this time, by the way.
I'll try to get the Halloween special finished by the last week in October, but it may not be the behemoth I originally intended, as the "grand adventure" storyline from the Eds Halloween special clashed with the "we must act now" feel from the Billy & Mandy special, so I'm thinking of splitting the two stories up for now.
Thank you for your patience with this next chapter.
Newer Information
I actually did manage to find a way to combine "Billy & Mandy's Jacked Up Halloween" with "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw!" while keeping the "grand adventure" tone from "Boo Haw Haw!" I don't to give away too much, but Jack will be told of a way to get his head back. Whether or not he succeeds is something you'll have to wait to find out. I also learned that it's spelled "Boo Haw Haw!" instead of "Boo-Ha-Ha!" Oh, well.
Hopefully, I can get a story out by the last week in October. I'll try for October 25th, because I imagine people have things to do on the actual holiday (I still can't believe Halloween isn't a national holiday).
Other News
Recently, I noticed a post on Earth 2 Edd (where I am known as "Edd Shwartz") that talked of a revival of the Jawbreaker Chronicle. It wasn't by the same people who did the original JBC nor the original JBC Exclusive, but I still liked the idea of collaborating with someone. I was a bit more familiar with the Gravy Inquirer, back when Edtropolis was a thing, but I still wanted to help out. Issue 1 isn't that good, but Issue 2 was a HUGE improvement. I sent in a resume (which contained a short story entitled "New Pollswede Declares War on Kevin"), and I was accepted. I was very happy to receive my acceptance letter, and I enjoy my position as the head of the advertising department. I'm even the mastermind behind Mr. Konga, the star of Mr. Konga's Weekly Word the new JBC's equivalent of Dr. Eric's Weekly Word. We posted Issue 3 shortly after ToastEd (the main editor) posted Issue 2. Then, we had some technical difficulties involving the number of web pages we could have on the website, so we had to switch sites. The old site is here. The new site is here.
We later posted Issue 4, and, well, I was dissatisfied with the first edition of "The Amazing Adventures of Plank," because it was a plagiarizing of an episode of Johnny Test called "Johnny's Amazing Turbo Action Backpack." I'm no longer a fan of JT––old or new––but that's beside the point. I didn't like it, but ToastEd and I ironed everything out. The story was replaced with another edition of "The Amazing Adventures of Plank." He admitted that it was plagiarism, which probably took a lot of honesty to do. Some of you might be thinking that I shouldn't be saying this about my "boss," but since he mentioned this in the introduction to the new TAAoP, I assume it's okay. There will be an Issue 5 tonight (September 12, 2014). We could've done it yesterday, but that was the anniversary of September 11th, so we decided not to release the 5th issue on that day out of respect.

Hopefully, I'll have more to talk about, since we'll be doing the JBC on a regular basis. See you later.

My Request for TheMysteriousMrEnter
This is my request to Mr. Enter. After he announced on Tumbler then DeviantArt that he would like to branch out into new territory, I set out to find the worst episode of Super Mario Bros. Super Show and I quickly found it. I remember not liking this one even when I honestly liked bad cartoons (back then, I didn't think the ending was as bad as it truly is). If he chooses to pick a different episode, I won't be offended. I apologize if I was too harsh or mellow with this episode, and I also apologize for the image from the episode does not fit the box that was made for the image. I was too lazy to fix it. The image is slightly zoomed in and a bit pixelated, because I didn't think I could screenshot the DVD function on my computer (I didn't bother to try it, though), so I had to screen shot an image on YouTube.
Here is the Full Unabridged Version of the "Notes" section
Queen Rotunda has a witch to create a love potion,
so the prince will fall in love with her, but she accidentally drinks it,
falling in love with Mario, and the cliché ensues. Rather than creating an
antidote for the love potion, Luigi, Peach, and Toad create ANOTHER love
potion. In the end, Mario gets Queen Rotunda and the Prince who we barely know
to drink the love potion and fall in love with each other. This scene alone was
responsible for “unnecessary cruelty,” “unfortunate implications,” and
“character derailment.” Queen Rotunda was depicted as abusive when she fell in
love with Mario. Just because the Prince is going to be happy to marry her
doesn’t mean he’s not going to be abused. This is evil brainwashing, which
tarnishes the character of not only Mario but also Luigi, Princess, and Toad.
They never even think twice about this. The writers portray this as a perfect
ending, only for them to ruin it with the witch responsible for the love potion
to fall in love with Luigi. The cartoon says that brainwashing is A-Okay, as
long as the brainwashed beings remain happy. What a load!!

Where I Went and Where I'm Going
Hello, anyone who's still interested. I suppose if you're reading this, you're wondering where I've been since my last blog post, or perhaps you're wondering where I've been since this blog post. I'm thinking of not doing these blogs, unless something makes me anywhere close to internet famous. I might continue writing these, but since nobody reads them, I see little point. However, I'd like to get a few things out there, before I post what may be my final blog.
I've been busy with many things, including my work at the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Wiki. I also kind of feel that without my writing new fan fictions, the spark of me visiting the Ed Fanon Wiki and the Sonic Fanon Wiki is gone. I just don't enjoy going to those sites anymore. I'm working hard to reboot my Sonic the Hedgehog fan fiction, and I'm trying to form the perfect first chapter for Ed, Edd n Eddy: Another Road story, but I've been stuck.
I'm also trying to get to work on my future YouTube project. I might start updating this blog again, because of that project. I'm not keeping it a secret, but I don't want people to get excited for something that may never come. I might announce it on the 21st of February or something. Why did I give such an informal date? I don't know either.
I suppose I'll work Chapter 6 of The NEW Grim Edventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy now.
