File:MI CapT.png Heyo!
File:MI CapT.png Well uhhh... I am Captain Toad, and I'm a... Toad. Sounds about right.
File:MI CapT.png Yes, all the time! Especially back in elementary school. Role call is a pain when you're in a class with 28 other people also called Toad. You hear the same name over and over, again and again. Then it's done, it turns out there's one extra person, and everyone panics. But then you realize the teacher is also called Toad and accidentally counted himself too. File:MI CapT.png One time I was shaken down by the local bully, Toad. But then halfway through we forgot which Toad was who, so he gave me his wallet and ran away crying. Then he came back dressed like his mom and demanded "Toad must be punished!", so our principal, Mr. Toad, was put in detention. File:MI CapT.png Pretty much. My whole childhood was so annoying and confusing. That's why one day I had this great idea to strap a flashlight to my head. BAM! Now I'm CAPTAIN Toad! Totally distinct!
File:MI CapT.png I was for a while, actually. File:MI CapT.png It didn't work out though. File:MI CapT.png CAPTAIN Toad!
File:MI CapT.png Whohee!!! File:MI CapT.png Well, it's this super fantastic and fun exploration game with Toadette and me, where we walk around on freely rotatable stages that look like beautifully crafted sculptures and look for treasure that is there for some inexplicable reason. Then a giant bird comes and snatches it away and we both get kidnapped a bunch of times.
File:MI CapT.png Not at all! Birds are scary, man. Didn't you ever see the Alfred Hitchcock movie?
File:MI CapT.png Wow, I hope not! But to be serious, I think she only really likes taking shiny stuff.
File:MI CapT.png Probably because of my radiant personality!
File:MI CapT.png Well, that's an interesting story, actually. You see, I have this huge secret. I kind of... really admire Mario. File:MI CapT.png What do you mean?
File:MI CapT.png That's a hurtful generalization and I resent it!
File:MI CapT.png Well, at least I don't walk off cliffs!
File:MI CapT.png Well, ok, so I really like Mario, but he never really notices me. I mean he DOES notice me whenever I need rescue, like when I get stuck in a tree, or there's a scary spider on the toilet seat. My voice is kind of hard to tune out. But he never noticed me as a person. That's why I thoughFile:MI CapT.png If I go on my own adventure, we would be equals and become friends. File:MI CapT.png Not that great, to be honest. I heave this very heavy backpack around with me wherever I go, and it means I can't jump. Turns out that in a world where jumping is a skill that can literally be a secure career path, not being able to doesn't really get you taken seriously.
File:MI CapT.png Oh, he did. Just not in the way I was hoping. He actually laughed at me, said my "so-a called game-a" is a joke, and he called me a "teeny-a-weeny-a glue-shoe". Then he gave me a swirly, took my pants, and put them into a ?-block just barely over my head to mock me.
File:MI CapT.png Well... Let's just say you don't want to know what is in the backpack now.
File:MI CapT.png Yeah! Toadette is NOT a bald old man wearing a pink wig! Stop spreading that silly rumor, people! |
Captain Toad Are you ready for adventure? Well, Captain Toad isn’t because he’s dead. Yes, you heard it here first folks the greatest adventurer the Mushroom Kingdom has ever known recently died. The cause of death was due to his ship encountering a bird strike. The bird escaped relatively unharmed. Mourners gathered around the crash site, until they were told to get lost by Mushroom Kingdom police, and the old man whose lawn they were standing on. Captain Toad was travelling alone at the time of the incident, which meant that his brigade and travelling companion were not lost in the incident. All of them labelled him as a capable explorer, even though he could be afraid at times. “He may not have been the smartest, or the the most hard-working, or the funniest, or the anythingiest, but he was our captain and we will miss him.” Captain duties were transferred over to Toadette and a celebration was held moments later. The bird that struck the aircraft is currently being tracked by the police, but they fear that as the Winter season is ending it may have migrated to other locations. Captain Toad’s funeral was held a few days ago and had a galaxy-load or mourners, although some stated that they were just there for the free food and beverages. A small memorial was erected to commemorate his bravery, as even in the face of death he was |
Wowo an issue of Dear Anton without Anton drawn in it! I'm so humble. At least it features two cuties and the mindflayer looks suspiciously like me in theme and color..........
