Askthegoombas
Askthegoombas is the humanized goomba ask blog created by comic artist Hollarity (more popularly known as Goombs in the community).
The Goombs mun in her natural habitat, mustache included.
The blog began on October 20, 2014 after Hollarity had a stroke of inspiration while waiting for a job interview. Influenced by German trench uniforms during World War I, she drafted up a rudimentary sketch of a brother and sister goomba duo using the outfits of the time as her template. Having no preset ideas in mind for the duo, Hollarity commenced blindly with the pair and has been trying to keep up with their antics ever since.
Original art of the duo. The two have become more realistically proportioned over the run of the blog.
This blog stars two goomba gijinkas- Goombert and Goombrianna Castaña. Their initial design focused largely on recreating the shape and appearance of a mushroom in human from. However as the blog has progressed, the mun has made their appearances a bit more complicated and anime inspired. Whether this was intentional or just a draw back of the muns' usual style is up for debate.
The two are siblings with an 8 year age difference. Their parents, Goomez and Goomarina, were lost during the events of the pipeline rebellion. Because of this, the two were sent to live with their grandmother in West Rogue Port until Goombert was old enough to begin training for the forces. When he officially enlisted Bri decided to tag along with him, and the two have been living together in military housing since then. Currently they are living outside Neo Bowser city.
Goombert
Goomberto Joaquin Castaña is a 20 year old private in the Koopa Troopa ground forces. He's an intensely stubborn and loyal individual with a knack for picking fights with those much bigger than him. At the start of the blog he was a spike goomba with a steady record of defending his stationed territories. However due to a misplaced jab at Mario, Goombert was killed and Game Over'd. Due to a complicated series of events Goombert is back as a glitchy form of his former self and is on temporary leave from the Troopas until he recovers.
Trivia:
- Goombert loves Magical Girl Anime, although he refuses to admit it publicly.
- He is a stickler for tidiness.
- He reveres official uniforms.
- He has a knack for music and is a decent singer.
- He is a practical soul who had to take on a lot of responsibilities at a young age, so because of this he is used to keeping house and cooking.
- He's an excellent babysitter.
Goombrianna
Bri, Bella and Bert for Birdetta's red ribbon challenge
Goombrianna Evangeline Castaña (b. October 27th) is the wily and cunning younger sister of Goombert. Bri is the instigator of many shenanigans in the community but she has the uncanny ability of befriending people with little to no effort. This has been used to her advantage on multiple occasions, and has resulted in her kidnapping one princess (Shokora) and obtaining several power stars. Although her allegiances are unofficial, Bri works for Count Bleck and performs many pranks alongside Doopliss the duplighost. Bri has a very strong connection to her aura abilities and has taken advantage of them on a number of occasions. Although Bri is only chaotic neutral at this time in the story, she does dream of one day becoming a powerful villainess and making people respect goombas once and for all.
Trivia:
- Bri has not been in school her whole life. Her goombuela home schooled her when she was younger, but now she is on her own with Goombert as far as her education goes.
- Bri is a very advanced reader for her age, but she has little to no math skills.
- She loves the beach and will do anything to visit Isle Delfino.
