A Pill a Day and... My Idea Got Away!

Bom dia! :penguin: 

I believe that the world we live in is moved by a series of brainstorms. Explosions of particular ideas are meant to happen a bazillion times every single day — it's not a big surprise that some of those ideas come up quite similar to each other, sometimes in such an identical way it's almost unbelievable. As some of my oldest devWATCHERs may know, in mid-2009 I've created something that I considered to be one of the coolest and most unique concepts for a fandom-inspired webcomic: the Dr. Luigi series.

Nothing more than a couple of days ago, Nintendo has officially announced one of the coolest and most unique concepts for one of their original games: Dr. Luigi for Wii U.

Nintendo's official Dr. Luigi shares a lot in common with my once-unique concept of Dr. Luigi, such as his green tie and the Viruses specifically designed for the green Mario brother — the latter hasn't been formalized in my comic strips, but it was one of my ideas for it. On one hand, I'm saddened for no one will ever recognize me as the original creator of the Dr. Luigi concept and therefore will believe that my comic strips came up after Nintendo's official announcement. On other hand, I feel sort of happy for, deep inside in my heart, I realize that I had an idea that was so interesting and unique that it also crossed the minds of Nintendo's designers. Sounds great that way.

I have so many feels that I sincerely don't know how to react to that. Somehow, this has been a bitter pill a little hard to swallow.

This reminds me of the time I came up with a pirate Raccoon Sonic character named Dizzy the Raccoon, only for Sega to make their own pirate character who just so happens to be a raccoon as well.
