October '25 Update: New Book! New Site!
🕑 Added 2025-10-15 19:27:28 +0000 UTCHi again Patrons! As hinted from last time, I'm doing a themed cookbook called Paper Plates!
Click the link to check it out; we're putting a bunch of delicious Paper Mario-style recipes and art in there. If you've ever wanted to make an Electro Pop or Whacka's Bump yourself, now's your chance!
I've teamed up with the experts at JOBJOB who've handled these themed cookbooks in the past (you might remember Mother's Cookbook or The Legend's Cookbook) so I know it's in good hands.
I've also made a secret discount tier for you Patrons! Our special "early bird" tier filled up but you can get your own early bird simply by clicking this link. That'll get you the standard hardcover book package for at a discount! Scroll down slightly then look for the BitMusical Discount image on the right (should be one of the first tiers mentioned).
I've been cooking a lot over the past few months, trying these out. You already saw the Tasty Tonic last time, but here are some more:
Spicy Soup! Made from Fire Flowers (or yellow bell peppers, chili oil and cayenne)
Shroom Steak! Like Movie-Mario, I dislike mushrooms but this one was probably the best I've had. I mean it's not the same as a sirloin but mushroom fans will like it even if it doesn't make them gigantic. All this cooking is making me scragglier though.
Checkerboard Cookie! Just like in Yoshi's Cookie, but also appears in Paper Mario (called "Big Cookie"). The almond extract made it extra tasty but sheesh--I'm looking disheveled by this point. It's time to take a break and grab a razor!
In other news, the Brawl in the Family: Ultimate Edition PDFs have been emailed out! The physical books should be a few more weeks and then I'll send out big packages across the world.
And since it seems we cannot escape Waluigi, I've bundled all 15 Waluigi Sings songs into a singular video to keep you company on these cool autumn nights:

That's right, 36+ minutes of nasally purple noise just in time for Halloween.
Lastly, I'm moving the Brawl in the Family archive to a new, more stable site, and more of an all-encompassing base for my stuff. It's being worked on as we speak but it's not quite ready yet; stay tuned.
I think this little dude is pretty cool too. So check out the Kickstarter--don't forget the discount link--and tell your friends if you don't mind! I'd love to stretch my legs a little and make this book a reality but it's gotta reach more people for that to happen. Until next time!
