You keep them to take at work? Huh. You sleep at work? I was wondering why you were so chilled. ^_^ Although, that makes three of us on this forum who have sleep issues and get very little sleep. That is so weird.
Peach drives Bowser though, so maybe SHE is to blame!
Ok so, whats to stop Bowser from just killing his black-mailers?
Wouldn't really be that hard for him.
Also after Dream Team why would he even bother with Antasma? If he could see through his paper thin attempts at using him before why would he suddenly regress back into stupidly trusting him?

1. True, but during their "servitude" to Bowser and the Koopa Troop, Dimentia and Dimention ended up proving themselves to be quite useful, and they ended up growing on him after a while.
2. Bowser and Antasma aren't on the same side in the story. As of Part 11, Antasma has taken it upon himself to specifically do things to spite Bowser, such as freeing the Mushroom Castle residents that were being held prisoner, exposing personal information from his diary, etc.

1. Maybe so, but since they offered Bowser an(other) object that would give him the power he needs to defeat Mario (again), that's something that he just couldn't refuse. Plus, one of the clowns even gave him a love potion to use on Peach; one that would end up becoming permanent within twenty-four hours of its use.
2. Again, they're not on the same side. Antasma formed a temporary alliance with the heroes in order to exact his revenge on Bowser. This wouldn't be the first case of enemies working together to face a common foe, since Bowser has done it in a few of the RPGs.

Yeah but by this point he's learned from that, nowadays he isn't anywhere near as ignorant as he used to be. Also the very concept of the 2 clown characters is frankly very lazy. Just lamer versions of Dimentio who himself wasn't even all that great to begin with.
Now I'm wondering why anyone on the goodside would want to work with Antasma, they too have no reason to.
1. Yes, they are rip-offs of Dimentio, I won't dispute that, but the entire point of this story is to combine plot elements from all three of the console Paper Mario titles.
2. As I've explained on the last page, Daisy and Tiptron (who are playing similar roles to Peach, Twink, and TEC) were in a tight spot, and Antasma (who caught a glimpse of a nightmare that Daisy ended up having) offered his help to them out of spite towards Bowser. It was a win-win situation on both sides. Daisy and Tiptron got to escape the dungeon they were thrown in, while Antasma gets to have his revenge.

Fair enough. I might not be the biggest Bowser fan there is, but I haven't had him do anything out of character. I portray everyone in the story in a non-biased manner, regardless of who they are. For instance, I've even criticized my own writing through Cranky Kong's lines (who's been constantly proclaiming the story to be "rubbish"). It doesn't get anymore in-character than that.
Just so you know, Bowser isn't completely oblivious to the possibility of getting betrayed by Dimentia and/or Dimention. In Part 10, Bowser said that he's smart enough to know when someone's trying to play him (and even cited the incident with Antasma as a prime example). In addition to confronting Dimention about the issue (which he, of course, denied), Bowser claimed that he plans to "stomp them into next week" should he find out that they truly are plotting against him.

Well the whole ''Bowser's diary'' doesn't really mesh well with modern Bowser. There has been notable changes to his character since then.
Really? Bowser canon. This is for fun, you know. FUN. Do we need to sing the F.U.N. Song? Half of this stuff is throw backs and comedy. Just rest your head on your Bowser pillow and give your Bowser plushie a big squeeze.

Maybe so, but I began this story back in September of 2012. Not only was that nearly a year before Dream Team was released, but it was months before the game was announced through Nintendo Direct. Antasma's inclusion in the story, along with all other references to the game were recent additions. It's way too late to go back on anything now.
