A thing I haven't really gotten to talk much about yet is that I am a big fan of Classic Daisy and that relates to something I wanted to bring up for a while.

People often describe Daisy as having been just a generic princess who was basically saved by her GC onwards incernation to be a tomboy and more distinct, but here's the thing:

Daisy was already described as one from way earlier on, this was always an intended part of her character.

It's always said ''Well, she was more girly back then'', but really, she still has plenty of that. The flower theme itself is an obvious tell, but you also got stuff like Tour art of her on a shopping trip, her MP4 Present Room having a tea set, her fawning over cute things, among other things:

On top of hints she enjoys baking in Mario Kart 8 brand names you see across the tracks, as well as the fact Daisy has a very long history of sharing many of Peach's dainty animations and moves, to save on resources. Ultimate being a particularly massive example, rainbows, ribbons, parasols, the whole thing.

People also like to bring up Classic Daisy being kidnapped by Tatanga, but for one, Daisy's predicament in Run also is framed a lot like a kidnapping, down to screaming for help and being found after defeating Bowser:

And secondly, I find that to be a very reductive view on a character, this happens to so many of them I don't see how it's a sign of weakness. Peach is best known for being kidnapped and is perfectly capable of carrying even her very own adventures, this legit means nothing.

I really think the popularity of how much people like Daisy in Strikers tends to obscure what her character is like, because everyone is agressive in that series. If Luigi gives you an angry eye twitch or Yoshi rants at you wish a shaking fist, it's save to say everyone is more on edge than usual.

Daisy is for all intents and purposes, comfortably and confidentally feminine, regardless of what version we are talking about. She really isn't the rough and tough hyper tomboy who counts the hours until she can switch from her dress to something else.

She is spirited, competetive and very energetic, but also kind and proud to be a princess, this applies to both of them. Anyone who has seen Mario Party 3's story mode knows Classic Daisy is more than competetive, enough to even be a sore loser about it.

None of this is meant to be a take-down of Daisy, the complete opposite even, it's just meant to defend a version of her that I think has been treated unfairly and like something that needed to be fixed.

Long hair Macaque, my beloved-

No but srsly, one of my favourite designs is just long hair mac and in this au Mammy's figure is just mostly hair.

I was trying to recreate this screenshot:

Obviously there's some difference like I tend to draw a bit chibi (big heads) and I didn't want to make Mac's hair THAT voluminous-

I wanted to achieve sort of a gypsy vibe with these little skrimblos

AND THEN I FOUND THESE:

And I could NOT pass it up.

So yeah...

Oh! And I also gave the sparkly drip to their ears

(Sh!t I just realised, I forgot the shadow creatures... I'll see if I can add them in later)

I COULDN'T for the life of me figure out the hundred yard stare to match with Mac's sharp eyes (how I draw him) and not make it look goofy so I made them spoopy and glowing instead

I sadly don't have much to say about Bai He here since her black hair didn't leave that much room for shading in a darkened environment (I'm so sorry) And this piece was to show off Mac's design more anyway (I promise Bai He will get her spotlight)

(Also Bai He, nor Mk nor Macaque wears shoes. Wukong is the only one in the family who does and I find that funny)

But oh! The hair? Here comes the fun part

(No his hair isn't purple, I just used purple to shade here)

You see I WAS going to use black hair for this photo but i soon realised how much of a pain it was just to shade it (cause i couldn't) and I was just WISHING I could use his white fur instead

And then I realised....

The white fur could be his winter coat.

Some animal's shed their fur in the winter (I think some rabbits do) and grow a new coat, occasionally with a different colour.

Therefore I could make the white fur the winter coat and during the story, his fur could be black to show how much time has passed since Bai He last saw her Baba...

Mwuahahahahahhahahahaha I'm so evil

(I was very proud of myself)

(Also I know macaques don't grow winter coats but just let me have this one ok?)

And why doesn't Bai He have white fur as well then? Well maybe she's just a different kind of monkey or perhaps it's just an age thing.

Funnily enough, when I showed this to my friend, she said he looked heavenly which is funny cause. As much as I love him, Macaque is a smug bastard and he knows it.

Like I know a lot of it was due to trauma BUT STILL

I just personally dislike how the fandom sometimes makes him seem like he could do no wrong and he is "uwu delicate babygirl that needs to be protected at all costs" when this boi is fockin FERAL man.

So despite taking a bit of a back seat in the main plot for this au, Macaque is still a smug bastard behind the scenes as much as he is a good dad

(Gosh sorry for the rant, I just had that pent up for a while now and needed to get it off my chest)

I wanted to post this yesterday on Friday 13th but oh well,

I hope I achieved the mysterious spoopy vibes as the original lol

(Click photo for less sh!tty quality)

(Also pls reblog, as much as I really appreciate feedback in general, I really like this piece and want to show it to more people...)

Gosh we are on a roll with this Shadowalkers au huh?
