Can you help me give a Substack writer advice?

Hi everyone. I'm not here for myself, but for someone else on Substack. His name is James Winter and his Substack is: https://substack.com/@jameswinter

He's been having an incredibly hard week, and thinks his Substack failed. Is there anything you think he could do better to improve his viewership? What advice do you think I could share with him? He's a writer that shares his thoughts on life. He writes with a poetic, beautiful writing style that reminds me of Erin Morgenstern.

Mario Galaxy Movie's Fox & Why I Love Him

He turned me into a furry.

Thank you for reading my Ted Talk.

On a much more serious note, I understand he may have been a hammed-up Fox McCloud, made with a particulary cartoony attitude to appeal to kids. I've seen that theory and it's totally understandable. And some people prefer a much more serious Fox. 100% fine.

I just wanted to give Glen Powell's Fox some props because not only is he hot, but his charisma makes him charming. Approachable. He comes off as this snarky bad ass, but would trip over himself in a heartbeat. He's the greatest pilot that ever was, but at the same time, he's a dork. I mean I know he came off as really silly, but you can't be the leader of a team if you're that much of a goof off. Why would Falco work under someone that goofy?

I think some of the movie's strongest writing went into Fox. I loved Glen's Fox. He may be single-handedly responsible for reviving the franchise. Plus he's hot.

The end. Have a happy day everyone.

What Star Fox means to me, and why I'm rooting for the new one

Star Fox 64 was an enormous, precious part of my childhood. I played it with my little sister so much, I'm surprised the cartridge didn't melt. I loved the main menu theme song. We made fun of Fox saying 'Father?!' because of how cheesy he sounded. My sister loved saying 'hey Einstein, I'm on your side'.

I bought the original Star Fox (for $20 lololol) with my allowance when I was a tiny babe. I loved it so much I wrote fanfiction about it.

I couldn't afford Star Fox Zero or the system it came out on. So I watched playthroughs. I remember being out and about, walking around a mall when Zero's prologue anime was released. I remember running to Panera to watch AbdullahSmash's reaction to it on Youtube. I thought that Fox was hot.

Fast forward to today. I think 2026 remake Fox is hot lololol

I loved Star Fox in Starlink. I have watched the DLC cutscenes so much, I can probably recite them.

I currently do not own a Switch 2 and can't afford one. So I'll watch playthroughs until I can buy one and the new Star Fox. I had no desire to ever buy a Switch 2 until Star Fox was announced. And it's coming out on my birthday so I have to save up for it and buy it lol

Until then, I've been inspired to create a Star Fox OC and come up with my own adventures. I don't even want to ship him with anyone. I just want to create one. I can't find very many recent Star Fox OCs, so I feel kinda silly for wanting to make one.

But I love writing, it'll be a buffer against me not being able to buy it and perhaps it'll help me manifest a Switch 2 and the Star Fox remake lol

It'll still help me feel like I'm a part of something special. Something that's coming up. Something the world's excited about!

I hope the remake does so well, Nintendo immediately greenlights another Star Fox game. One with a unique story. I know the character designs are kind of bizarre. They're jarring because Fox and Co. have been cartoony for years now! But to me, Fox is mega-hot. Slippy's cute. Peppy is Peppy.

Falco's the only one that currently does not work for me. At all. But I know that will change over time!

I'm super stoked about this remake! I hope it sparks more OCs, more fan fiction, more of everything! I hope this is the beginning of something electric and amazing!

As someone that currently can't even afford the Switch 2 or the Star Fox remake: LET'S GOOOO! Can't wait for it! DO A BARREL ROLL!

Off I go to listen to Star Fox music and people yap about the remake on Youtube!
