#guys why can’t I get over Luigi

Mario doodle dump timeeee

Old sketch I forgot about, just lightning practice but I liked it :)

Luigi trying not to have a complete mental breakdown as E Gadd processes his treatment toward the plumber. (Meaning he treats him more like Mario, forgetting about his anxiety and definitely real autism)

Related to my small Possessed!Luigi thing where Mario, Bowser, Toad, and Peach go out to rescue him. Mario and Bowser are obviously pretty at odds with each other but Mario has no idea about Bowser and Luigi’s relationship.

I just think it’s funny. Bowser hates it but Luigi thinks it’s cute and funny, which only makes him blush harder.

Luigi being a poker master but Bowser doesn’t know that. “It’s called a hustle sweetheart” okay you can shoot me now✌🏻

Bowuigi Mating Dance Idea

Again, another crack Bowuigi idea that I'm not sure how to flesh out. For this one, Bowser steals a serum/potion from the Mushroom Kingdom in hopes that it will make him invincible. However, instead, it reveals his subconscious desires. And one of those desires is to have Luigi as his partner.

Wrote some copy for this, but again, not entirely fleshed out:

Mario and Luigi stood up with a grunt. Princess Peach’s throne room was a mess, with rubble everywhere and a gaping hole where the room’s doors used to be. From behind them, Peach reached over to see if they were okay, but Mario gently pushed her back, straightening himself. 

The toads who had been in the room had already fled. They had been in the middle of a meeting when Bowser so kindly interrupted. 

Bowser guffawed as he strolled through the hole his airship had just made. His advisor, Kamek, flew on his broomstick above Bowser’s head. Green-shelled koopas marched behind them, and they quickly flanked the trio. 

Luigi took a deep breath and tried to stop shaking so much.

“Well, well, did I catch you guys on a bad day?” Bowser crooned. “That’s too bad.” He looked as menacing as usual, especially with the setting sun on his back. 

Mario rubbed the dust off of his mustache. “Can’t you just leave us alone? We all know how this ends.”

Luigi nodded in agreement, crossing his arms over his chest.

Bowser pretended to look at his claws. “I’m afraid things are going to be a bit different this time.” He smirked as he reached into his shell and pulled out a bottle full of strange, pink liquid. He held it up into the sky and roared, “Behold! My raw strength is about to increase tenfold!”

Peach pushed past Mario and Luigi, a confused look on her face. “Wait, why do you have that?”

“My dearest Peaches, it was actually quite easy to steal from your castle’s boring research facility. And now, I’ll use it to rule the world.”

Peach raised an eyebrow, and Mario and Luigi looked at each other. 

“I would highly recommend you don’t use that, Bowser,” Peach said slowly.  

“Hah! As if,” Bowser sneered. He opened the bottle and downed the contents in one go. 

Mario and Luigi readied themselves, clenching their fists and opening their stances. Peach covered her mouth in surprise. 

Bowser grinned and looked down at his body in expectation. But… nothing about his body really changed. He glared over at Kamek. “You idiot! I thought you said this would make me invincible!”

Kamek held up his hands in placation. “I couldn’t quite examine it, sire, because you didn’t want me to waste a single drop. So I made a guess based on what it looked and smelled like.”

Bowser growled. “That’s it. When we get back, you’re—” Bowser stopped talking mid sentence, his snout twitching like crazy. He tried again, “You’re…” He shook his head and stumbled a bit.

“Your majesty! Are you all right?”

Luigi glanced over at Peach, who was rolling her eyes at Bowser.  “Um… what exactly does it do, princess?” he asked.

Peach opened her mouth to respond, when Bowser let out a loud grunt. They all looked over at him to see his pupils had dilated. He was staring right at them. Luigi and Mario both took a step in front of the princess.

Bowser didn’t move for a second, then he leaned forward and let out a low bellow that sounded like chainsaws trying to start up. Luigi had never heard such a sound from Bowser before. 

Turning around, Bowser’s tail swept across the floor, flickering and moving in a strange pattern. Even stranger, his spikes started raising and lowering in some sort of rhythm.

Luigi had no idea Bowser’s shell could do that. Looking over at Mario, Luigi could tell he was thinking the same thing.

Bowser faced forward again and let out another bellow. This one was accompanied by a small burst of sparks from his muzzle. Then he turned right back around and kept doing that weird shell and tail combo.

“Well… that’s a thing. I guess,” Mario said, stroking his mustache.

Luigi kind of wanted to laugh. But they were still surrounded by Bowser’s minions. “Hey, how about I take the right side, and you take the left side?”

Mario nodded and said, “Peach, keep Bowser distracted?”

Peach hummed in agreement. 

The two Mario brothers took off. The koopas charged at Luigi, but he easily hopped onto their heads and kicked them out of the hole Bowser made. He hit a few with his hammer and kicked those, too. 

“Luigi, look out!” Peach called.

Luigi turned around and came face to face with Bowser. He jumped back with a shriek and held up his hands in defense. The koopas he had been fighting now took cover behind Bowser.

“Sire! What are you doing?” Kamek called. He shot a blast of magic at Mario, who dodged it easily. Mario’s end of koopas were already out of commission. 

Bowser didn’t answer, he just stared at Luigi with his red eyes. When Luigi continued to stand there, Bowser let out a rumbling bellow and bobbed his head up and down. 

Luigi had no idea what was going on. Maybe he should just leave this sort of thing to Mario. He tried to run back to Peach’s side, but Bowser stepped in front of him. Luigi didn’t dare breathe. But Bowser didn’t hurt him. Instead, he turned around and slapped his tail up and down on the floor. 

Now Luigi was really confused. What exactly was in that bottle?

A blast of magic surrounded Bowser and lifted him towards the hole in the room. “Your Craziness, we must retreat!” Kamek cried. He barely managed to dodge Mario trying to jump up and grab his broom. 

Instead of listening to his advisor, Bowser let out a fierce growl. Kamek froze in his tracks, dissipating the hovering spell, and stared at Bowser in bewilderment. Mario managed to grab the tip of Kamek’s broom and yank him down. The magikoopa freed himself by shooting a small lightning bolt at Mario, who avoided it gracefully.

Bowser let out one last growl towards his advisor, then he approached Luigi again. Smoke billowed out of Bowser’s mouth as he approached.

“What do you want?!” Luigi cried hysterically, glancing around the room. 

A piece of debris hit Bowser in the head. Luigi and Bowser turned to see Peach winding up to throw another one. Bowser blew a plume of fire in her direction. Mario dove onto her, getting both of them out of the way. Mario dragged Peach out of the way when another one of Kamek’s lightning bolts struck the ground.

Luigi returned his attention to Bowser, who had managed to get up close to Luigi’s personal space without him noticing. Luigi held up his hands in surrender; the last thing he wanted to do was set Bowser off in his crazed state.

Bowser stared down at Luigi, his blown up pupils nearly drowning out the whites of his eyes. Luigi tried to take a step back, but he got poked by something. He glanced behind him to see the few koopas he didn’t manage to take care of standing there. One of them had a long spear, which they used to push Luigi towards their king.

Luigi covered his head with his hands. His legs shook violently, and he muttered prayers to himself in Italian.

However, instead of Bowser biting his head off, Luigi felt something warm and soft rub against his face. He opened his eyes and moved his hands away, right when Bowser leaned back from Luigi. When Luigi didn’t do anything, Bowser leaned down again and rubbed his cheek on Luigi’s. 

Luigi froze. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and saw Mario, Peach, Kamek, and the koopas staring at the scene.

“Seriously, Peach, what was in that elixir?” Mario asked. His eyes looked like they were going to bug out of his head. 

Peach hummed. “It was a serum that revealed your subconscious desires… We were testing it for interrogation purposes…” She tapped her chin in thought. 

Kamek shook his head. He flew down and wacked Luigi’s face away from Bowser’s with the back of his broom. Luigi sputtered and tripped on something behind him. He heard a low growl and something firm wrap around his body. He looked down to see Bowser’s hand around his waist. 

With a gulp, Luigi slowly looked up at Bowser, whose eyes were half lidded as he stared down at Luigi. Was it just him, or was Bowser’s face getting closer?

“Sire! Enough of this nonsense!” Kamek screeched. He flew up to Bowser’s head and wacked the back of it with his wand.

Bowser’s eyes shrunk back to their normal size, and Bowser shook his head to clear it. 

“W-what?” Bowser groaned. He glanced at Luigi, then at Mario and Peach, then back at Luigi with a look of bewilderment. 

“Um… hi…” Luigi muttered. He tried to tug Bowser’s fingers off of him, but his grip was strong. 

Bowser’s face morphed into his usual cocky sneer. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“H-hey!” Luigi protested, “I’m not the one who was making googly eyes earlier! And is still holding onto me!”

Bowser glanced down at his hand and blinked, as if just noticing he was holding onto Luigi. He dropped Luigi unceremoniously onto the floor.

“Your highness, I suggest a tactical retreat!” Kamek called.

Bowser grumbled. “FINE!” He blew flame towards Mario and Peach, so they wouldn’t follow after them as they ran back to their airship. 

Luigi watched them go with absolute confusion. Mario tried to chase after them, but he was too late. Luigi didn’t bother standing up, his mind still stuck on what had transpired.

I like to think that the bellowing Bowser's doing is like an alligator's bellow, but much louder.

Here's my Pitch for a Luigi's Mansion movie

Opening scene is King Boo getting word of the Mario Brothers, and sending Boos to spy on them.

By now, the brothers are firmly established in the Mushroom Kingdom as the Mario Brothers, and when we first see them now, they’re putting up fliers offering their services.

But immediately, we can see that when someone stops to talk to them, everyone seems to be gravitating towards Mario. Which is fine, and even expected, as people know him as the guy that saved the Kingdom.

But it’s not long before Luigi’s insecurities rear up their ugly heads, to the point where he feels like he can’t even tell Mario about them.

What insecurities exactly? The one’s you’d expect: only being known as Mario’s brother, or the guy that got trapped in a cage that needed Mario to rescue him. Which get worse when someone makes an offhand comment that gets under his skin. It’s essentially a parallel to what their dad said to Mario: about holding Mario back now that he’s a hero.

But here’s the secret: those comments don’t really bother him. It’s already been established that Luigi has been Mario’s #1 fan since before they even knew the Mushroom Kingdom existed. If people gush over Mario more, they’re just repeating what he’s known since they were babies. Why would that kind of talk start to bother him now?

No. For Luigi’s insecurities to be as bad as we’re being shown, it has to go deeper than that.

The real fear is that one day MARIO will see that, and just decide he’s done looking out for him. You thought he was heartbroken when trapped in the cage? NOTHING compared to what happens upon thinking of that.

However long that takes, everything comes to a head when Luigi gets the notice about winning the mansion in the mail, and he decides to go check it out. 

Whether it’s because he suspects something is up or he’s too distracted by his insecurities, does not matter. What does is that he decides to go alone to prove he’s not just Mario’s little brother.

And I will emphasize this right here and now: Luigi does not blame Mario for ANY of this. He loves Mario the same as he always has, if not more, and it’s that exact love why he’s so scared of losing him.

He shrugs off Mario’s questions as to why he’s going alone, and leaves. Which then prompts Mario to check out the notice himself, and after some research, realizes Luigi’s about to walk into a trap, and runs off to try and stop him.

While all this is happening, we need two different sets of flashbacks, wherever they make sense: flashbacks of them growing up, to show how their relationship changes into what it is now. And snippets of a more recent one, with Mario telling him he’s moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, offering him a chance to come with; Luigi panicking because a) he’s still traumatized by what happened, and b) he’s scared of losing his brother again if he says no.

Eventually Luigi makes it to the mansion, and it plays out like it did in the game. I trust Nintendo’s ability to make sure it stays as true to the game as it can be. It’s still about getting rid of the painting ghosts and all that, but keeps coming back to the insecurities.

And if there's a way to add their Twin Sense to the story, preferably when Luigi finds something of Mario's, that would be AWESOME.

Mario, on his side, is not just trapped in a painting. The painting itself is essentially a pocket dimension where he can see everything that’s going on, as one of King Boo’s cruel torture tactics, but no matter how loud he screams or yells, Luigi can’t see or hear him unless in the throne room, because that’s where the physical painting actually is.

It's revealed the Boos had been observing Luigi for weeks to figure out the best way to mess with him, and while they usually just do what we’ve seen them do in the games, they tried something different because Luigi essentially did all the work for them, and enhanced his insecurities to lure him to the mansion to trap him there.

And of course, when he faces King Boo, he gets hit where it really hurts: the fallout of all those flashbacks: every time Luigi got hurt or was picked on, and Mario stepped in. Or only Moving to the Mushroom Kingdom to make Mario happy. King Boo laughing at him and saying how he’s so weak he can’t even fight his own battles, no wonder Mario got taken so easily.

Luigi starts to believe it, maybe even starts crying, I won’t object, but then he hears Mario banging on the painting, making him look up.

Whatever Mario says here is meant to get Luigi to look back again, and we see a flashback montage. Sure, Mario stepped in at first, but when Luigi got older, he started doing the same. And even had Mario teach him to defend himself, despite the fact that it scared the shit out of Mario every time he fell or got hurt. The very last flashback is of when Mario finally made him talk about moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Luigi admitted how scared he was about the whole idea. And you guessed it, Mario gives a bona fide Good Big Brother speech that ends with another Bro Hug.

And THAT is what gives Luigi the strength to get back up and kick King Boo’s ass straight back into the painting where he belongs.

Keep the game’s ending in there, or the fans will riot, then give us a Proud Big Brother moment after they’re home safe.

Then it ends with them hanging up more fliers all over the Mushroom Kingdom, but now we see there’s a new thing added to their services: Boo Hunting.

Oh yeah. And to keep with the first movie's continuity: soundtrack only has music from or before the year the game came out.

This would be November 2001, so use your imagination.

As Long as We’re Together

- - - - - - - -

It’s been a month since the battle with Bowser and Mario noticed his little brother Luigi wasn’t acting like his usual self.

A week after the battle, Princess Peach offered the brothers to move into the Mushroom Kingdom. They stayed at her castle until their home was built and they were moved in but the nights at the castle were somewhat say not so peaceful most nights.

Mario would wake up in the middle of the night to hear Luigi talking to himself over the balcony, fidgeting with his hands and whenever Mario asked if he was alright, his brother would would answer back with “I’m fine” or “yes.” “No.” and trying to fake a smile, hiding his wrists with his sleeves.

Even while doing their plumbing work Luigi was quiet. Sure he would make a joke here and there but he barely spoke a word except for when they told each other good night.

It’s been a month of this now. Mario thought to himself, sitting at the kitchen table in their new mushroom home, with his coffee getting cold and Luigi, who was still asleep at 8 in the morning. Lu was up until 2, having trouble falling asleep. It was time Mario had a talk with his brother on what was troubling him.

Later that day after work, Mario prepared some chamomile tea for his brother and walked up to him, who was sitting at the table reading the Mushroom Kingdom newspaper quietly.

“Hey, Lu.” said Mario, giving him his tea. “I’ve noticed you’ve been quiet lately and to me I think something is bothering you.”

Lu stopped sipping his tea and cleared his throat. “I-I’m fine, Mario. Really.” He started fidgeting with his hands again. Mario placed his hand on his shaky brother’s hands.

“Hey,” the oldest said with a calm tone. “You don’t have to be afraid to tell me what’s going on…alright.”

Lu smiled and nodded. He was quiet for a few minutes, looked down, and let out a sigh. “I…I…”

He couldn’t finish the words without his voice starting to break and yelled. “I-I’m scared!”

Mario gave his little brother a worried look. “Scared of what, Lu.”

“My nightmares…”

Mario thought for a moment and moved his chair next to his brother. “You want to talk about it?”

Luigi nodded. “There are nights where either I can’t sleep or because I have a nightmare about…” the tears were starting to show in his glossy eyes. He tried to calm himself down before continuing.

“…the Dark Lands” Luigi continued. “I would be chased down by Bowser’s henchmen and before I could make it to the warp pipe, Bowser would be standing right there and throw me across the forest, slam me into trees, or striking me with his claws, and before I wake up screaming my nightmares always end with either Bowser hurting you in front of me while I’m pinned down on the hot ground or killing m-“ he couldn’t finish the last word as he broke down crying at the table, burying his face in his arms.

He muffled under his shaking breath with his face still buried and he looked away from his brother with his head now resting on his arms.

“Back when I first met Bowser he…he tortured me, pulled my stache, threw me, leaving me with a bruise on my side and shoulders and before that I was pulled tight on the wrists by the shy guys when I was captured to be brought to Bowser.”

Mario’s eyes widened when Luigi showed his wrists, burned-like with rope marks and Mario noticed the bruise on Luigi’s shoulder.

Mario was quiet for a moment. “Why didn’t you tell me this before, Lu?”

Luigi looked at Mario, tears still running down his face. “I was afraid and didn’t want to worry you…I-I’m sorry Mario! I’m sorry! I’m-“ he started to breathe heavily, trying to stop himself from crying.

Mario held Luigi’s hands. “Luigi, listen to me.” Luigi, trying to calm himself down, listened to his brothers comforting voice. “You don’t ever have to be afraid to tell me anything, okay. We’re brothers and as long as we’re together everything is going to be okay…okay?”

Luigi smiled, sniffled and gave Mario the biggest hug, burying his face in his brothers shoulders as he let Mario hug him back.

Lu cried more and finally calmed himself down as Mario told him.

“I love you, little brother.”

Luigi sniffled and said back “I love you too, grande fratello.” After a month of these nightmares, Luigi knew the nightmares would go away, now that he was open with his brother and told himself everything’s gonna be okay.

He closed his eyes and felt himself falling asleep on his brothers shoulders. Mario guided Luigi to his bed, had him cover up with his green plaid comforter, and turned on his nightlight

“Night-night, Mario.” Luigi said sleepily, then sound asleep, snoring.

Mario smiled and gave his little brother a kiss on the head.

“Goodnight fratellino.”

Mario crawled into his bed and turned off his light. Falling asleep as he knew that their new life and everything was going to be okay.

WHAT is the deal with Mario’s mouth?!

We’ve been talking about Mario’s wacky enemies and allies for over five whole years now! That’s a lot of years, and a lot of Mario franchise characters! For obvious reasons, we’ve never talked thaaat much about Mario himself, since he is by definition the most Conventional Mario Entity. But even our beloved marketable and relatable everyman has some... interesting design choices, to say the least! Case in point: his mouth, or the lack of one!

Mario is a funny cartoon guy! As you may know, his most iconic features, including his mustache, were intentionally chosen in order for his design to be clear just from seeing a tiny sprite. A mouth would be hard to parse, but a mustache stands out, while simultaneously framing his trademark nose! You do not need me to tell you Mario’s Mighty Mustache is such a famous feature of the fellow. And even in official artwork, as if to pay tribute to the ‘stache that started it all, Mario is often depicted with no mouth at all! The intent seems to be that the mustache obscures the mouth, and I think the result is usually rather cute... but sometimes their insistence upon it gets to be a bit much.

Take Mario’s Cement Factory for Game & Watch, for example! Game & Watch games were great at making their little monochrome characters pop with wacky and exaggerated expressions... unless they’re Mario, I guess! Are they really so scared to alter Mario’s squeaky-clean image that he can’t even express fear or anxiety? It’s ok to feel those things, Mario! Do they not want us to think Mario is at all like us?

A mouth is often an integral part of a cartoon character’s design, allowing for more varied facial expressions, as well as a clear indicator of who is talking when, and which voice is coming out of each character! At least, you’d think so, right? Evidently, Nintendo did not think so, and had one strict rule about Mario’s portrayal: no mouths! DiC obliged, and Mario spoke, mouthlessly. It’s rather eerie, really. His mustache does flutter while he talks, so you can tell it’s him speaking, but why is it fluttering? What is causing it to move? Is there wind blowing out of a mouth that is not there? We need answers, Nintendo!!!

For the most convincing possible performance, Captain Lou Albano was asked to remove his mouth before recording his lines. Respect!

Sometimes, though, they go too far with the mouthlessness. Baby Mario doesn’t have a mustache to pretend the mouth is hiding behind. Shouldn’t he have a visible mouth??? Either there is more to it than this, or it is just a blunder that somehow made it past testing. Was Mario perhaps born with no mouth at all...?

And in that case, why would his twin brother Luigi be born WITH a mouth? Baby Luigi has a mouth, Regular Luigi has a mouth, and I assume Old Luigi will have a mouth, too. Any geneticists want to weigh in? It would be highly appreciated!

Don’t be sad, Mario! I don’t think less of you for your bizarre mouth situation. I don’t think anyone does! It’s fascinating and charming! I am intrigued, in the sense that I would like to dissect you, but I respect you too much to do that right now. What matters is that Mario does not have a mouth in any sense of the word, there is just nothing there, and that is okay.

...MARIO PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!

I’m back with another Mario Movie AU, because apparently I can’t stop.

(It’s not really intended as a Bowuigi / Bowsario / Powser scenario, but if you want to read it that way, be my guest and go wild with your ideas).

Luigi gets captured and taken to Bowser, you know the drill. BUT. Two details make a big difference from canon :

Luigi, who’s been in a Hobbit bingewatch recently, manages to take a leaf out of the “surviving the huge murderous dragon by stroking their ego” book and starts complimenting and praising Bowser, whose reputation spreads beyond this world, he claims. He’s only come here to admire the glory of such a magnificent king, the Terror of the Darklands, the Scourge of the Kingdoms, the King of Monsters (he’s pulling all of this out of what he’s heard and awkwardly guessed so far). How could he not, after everything he’s heard about him ?? And yet the tales pale in comparaison of the real thing. Yes, that’s totally why he’s here. “And that other human with a moustache ?” “ Do you think I know every human being with a moustache wearing an identical outfit with a hat with the letter of his first name on it?! ...Because I don't! That’s just how normal human males look like !!! Are your mask guys related just because they look like each other ??” Bowser, turning towards the Shy Guys: “Are you ?” “No!! Gross, we’re married, Sir!” “A-anyway, I’m sure that human (who has nothing to do with me at all) is here for the same reason as me! To meet you and tell you how much he finds you awesome! Not for your fiancé at all!”

Bowser is dumb enough to believe all of it.

So now Bowser is very happy because not only does he loves sycophants as a general rule, but this one is human! If just his reputation was enough to make human flock to his kingdom, surely Peach will be head over heels for him once she meets him ! Ha! Take that, random Ex-Koopa-Now-Dry-Bones !!

“Told you all I was irresistible! Now she WILL say yes!!!”

But because he wants to hit every single bullet point in human attraction (and not at all because he’s a bit nervous), he’s asking Luigi for his “opinion”. Which, for Luigi, amounts to stand around while Bowser is singing his lungs out  and pretends that yes, a human would totally be charmed by this!

“How about a mass ritual sacrifice for our wedding ?”

“Oh god, that’s a thing ???”

“Yes, obviously ! Pure Koopa wedding tradition! Won’t she love it?!”

“mamma mia...”

“What was that ?”

“I MEAN- Yeah that’s. That’s very cool, but how about you go even further ?”

“More victims? I mean, I can scrounge up some forced volunteers in my troops...”

“No!! Erm, how about you manage to win the war without making a single causality ? Any warlord can kill everyone on his path, but you’re THE Bowser! You don’t even need to use your full strength to be respected!”

“...That’s very stupid. And I don’t want to be respected, I want to be feared.”

“Well you didn’t hurt me (very much) and I fear AND respect you very much !”

“Fair point.”

“And if you manage to do that ? That Princess Peach, she’ll swoon straight into your arms!”

BONUS !

In the Rainbow Road battle, instead of falling in the sea, Mario and DK are captured and taken to Bowser (with Luigi present in the throne room).

Bowser is gloating and Mario is ready to fight despite the danger:

“So, human, did you also come here to sing my praises?”

“Oh I’ll sing something alright, you...”

“Brother!!” Luigi starts yelling in Italian, “for ONCE in your life, don’t pick a fight you can’t win and listen to me! Just pretend that the maniac with fire breath is the most amazing guy you’ve ever seen, our lives depend on it!”

“...you amazing, incredible and badass king, I can’t believe I ever tried to fight you!”, Mario quickly plays along to the point of dropping on one knee (but mostly to hide his gagging face).

Bowser immediately turns toward Luigi :

“What did you say?? What was that gibberish ?!”

��Eerrr Magic! Yes! To-to make him admit how much he finds you awesome!”

“You can use magic?!”

“Human magic!! That only works on humans!! Not on Koopas or whatever -not that I would have used it on you, of course, eh ehehe....”

“You can make humans fall in love with me on command ?? That’s even BETTER! Now Peach WILL marry me without any doubt!!”

#super mario bros #mario movie #miscellaneous mario madness #ah my old friend : shenanigans based on misunderstandings and outrageous bluffs #any of you got ideas based on this one please let me know

[skulls-soul]

I had an idea for a fanfiction so I wanted to throw it out there for anyone to take a stab at, now with that said.

Imagine with me there’s a dance a masked ball of some sort who knows  but it’s happening at Bowser‘s kingdom,  it’s some sort of celebration amongst the people, you can decide on what they’re celebrating and if it’s a masked ball I just like the idea because it’s dramatic BUT ANYWAYS

Luigis hanging out with princess peach, daisy, and Mario for their bi-monthly teatime or some shiz when a toad with a messenger bag comes up to Luigi and hand him a letter. everyone immediately is like you got a letter from Bowser?!? because it’s pretty obvious with the way the letter is designed But that’s besides the point everyone’s curious what’s in the letter and so Luigi opens the letter right then and their since he’s curious as well.

After a moment of “sort of silence” since Luigi mumbled to himself the words of the letter he’ll very shockingly  say that Bowser is inviting him to (name of advent here)  everyone would be surprised and peach would mention about how she was wondering what was going on with that advent since usually around this time she would get a letter from Bowser asking her to attend the advent

Mario would say something snarky like the only time you’re ever asked to come to his kingdom

Peach would laugh say that it’s probably because he’s busy with preparation for the actual festival and party and then Daisy would pitch in asking what Luigi plans on doing or “what do you think about the whole thing”

And Luigi would say how he’s just wondering what he should wear which would cause Mario to be even more shocked because he expected his brother to refuse since you know, the princess would always refuse to go

 to his surprise his brother actually wants to go 

(I have no idea what Bowser and Luigi‘s relationship is by this point I’d like to think that they’re friends I don’t know how I don’t know why but I do know that Bowser hasn’t kidnapped peach for a while so)

While lost in thought Daisy would start asking about what kind of event it is and say things like since you’re going to be in the Koopa kingdom and that place is usually really warm it should be something light, peach would Pitchin as well say that doesn’t Luigi have a cute somewhat blouse that he can wear that she gave him (I have an idea of what he would wear to an event like this)

 Mario would end up pitching in saying “Luigi you can’t be serious this could be a trap ”  Luigi will try to convince Mario that it’s not a trap which would lead into just more arguing with Mario back-and-forth until the girls will try coming down the situation but Mario completely unconvinced that it’s not a trap will tell Luigi no I’m putting my foot down you’re not going that’s final

Does that stop Luigi from replying with a letter of his own telling Bowser that he’s going to try his best on coming but he doesn’t know because his brother is being difficult, no. does that stop princess peach and daisy helping Luigi find the perfect outfit which would most likely be something that he usually wouldn’t wear but the girls made him feel confident about it, of course not. does that mean that by the time the event comes around Mario is waiting in the kitchen ready to put on his big brother pants, yes.

That does mean though that when Luigi is done taking a shower and prepping up leaving the bathroom rapped in a bathrobe he hears Mario calling him to come over to the kitchen  and so Luigi does cuz he has no reason not to listen to his brother.

clearly he was almost immediately proven wrong because when refusing dinner saying that he doesn’t want to get full before the advent it sparks another argument leading Mario to say that he’s going to stay near the front door all night if it keeps Luigi from making a mistake

( can you guys tell that this version of Mario stems from my big brother to 100% idea because that’s where this kind of stemmed from also I know this kind of paints Mario as a bit of an ass but I want you guys to understand that Mario generally thinks that Luigi could get hurt if he goes to Bowser’s castle willingly and if Luigi does get hurt Mario would feel terribly guilty because he allowed his brother to go into danger)

 this all leads to Luigi basically locking himself in his room  some time passes Luigi doing nothing but maybe writing an apology note for not showing up but when he hears a tapping noise from his window he goes to check if somethings broken after calming himself down sense it did spooked him a bit cuz of the sudden noise

what he sees is Bowser all dressed up with a big grin  merely saying that he thought he would need some help escaping his big brother 

 so Luigi goes to do that getting change as quickly as possible to then jump out his window those he makes sure to write his brother a letter saying sorry for leaving I know you’re just trying to protect me I’ll be back soon if not then at least you can say I told you so

.

.

.

Yeah that’s basically it honestly key components is mario an overprotective brother who doesn’t want Luigi to go to some dance with Bowser, Luigi and Bowser gay for each other, daisies Luigis best friend, and peach is a supportive person because if bowser could fall for someone who loves him back she would no longer have to deal with him….

Honestly might try my hand in writing something but who knows also here’s some art of Luigi’s fit for the dance

Just a small doodle

btw I imagine Bowser made the mask adding swirly plant designs to represent Luigis love of plants and adding horn like triangles in the corners to represent him because Gay and also there’s a fire flower and a mushroom near his cheek as well as a mushroom in the center near his forehead to represent the mushroom kingdom

Hey, man 🧍‍♀️

How are you? I hope your doing well 👍🏽

Anyways, I got somewhat of a good request… I think..?

Alright, so imagine Reader was friends with I hate you Luigi and Mario. Reader was friends with the brothers before the events of I hate you (Where Luigi fell into lava and burned.) Even though everyone loved Mario Reader always preferred Luigi more. Luigi feels extremely grateful that at-least someone didn’t compare him to his brother and actually cared about him but this wasn’t enough for Luigi so he teamed up with Bowser without telling Reader. The events of I hate you happen and Mario comes back with Princess Peach. Reader is wondering where Luigi is. Reader asks Mario where Luigi was and Mario tells Reader that it’s best if they don’t know. Which leaves Reader even more confused and is now worried that something happened to their friend Luigi.

(You can decide if Reader and IHY Luigi get to see each other again.)

(Also this is more of a platonic fic than a romantic one and also can you use She/They pronouns pls.)

In addition if you can’t do this request then have some random images from my phone gallery 🧍 and have a great day/afternoon/night…

Burning Memory

(IHY!Luigi x Reader) (Platonic)

Hey there! Thanks for the ask!

I’m doing great hope you’re doing great as well. Honestly ever since I’ve started playing any sort of Mario games I’ve always had a preference over Luigi rather than Mario (Although I love Mario just as much). If Luigi was a playable character I would always choose him that’s how much I love him (Thanks for the photos as well).

Also I tried to make this as angsty as I could because I’m in that mood lol. Anyways hope you like this. ~J/Blaze

———————————

- The Mario bros. Everyone knows them and everyone loves them, especially you. You pretty much had the luck of getting to know the brothers and eventually became friends with them. Honestly you admire the two especially the taller brother Luigi however you seemed to notice that people had more of a preference over Mario practically ignoring his younger brother presence. But you didn’t pay much attention to them and mostly focused your attention on him.

- Honestly when Luigi saw how much attention his brother was getting compared to him it really hurt him. Why weren’t people praising him? He helped as well, why didn't he get the recognition as well? What did Mario have that he didn’t? They were practically the same. All those questions were running through his mind but before they got too extreme they managed to get cut off by you. The only person who seemed to acknowledge his skills. That was the only reason he had to keep going despite what was going on. Being around you was the only reason he didn’t snap and do whatever at least for now.

- You had no idea about how he was feeling about the whole ordeal with his brother, mostly because he didn’t express them to you. Why didn’t he do it? You honestly had no idea but you definitely would’ve assumed he was at least a little bit upset. I mean who wouldn’t. But when you try to see what was matter he just played his emotions off to a recent adventure he had. But regardless of the reason you made sure to cheer him up which he appreciates. But eventually although he does get noticed by you he got tired of being in Mario’s shadow and decided to risk it and join the bad guy himself Bowser.

- He didn’t tell pretty much anyone that he joined bowser because obviously he doesn’t think that people would care enough about him so why should he care but when it came to you he mostly didn’t tell you out of guilt. I mean he’s only doing this to get the recognition that he wants just like his brother but he’s getting some from you so why wasn’t it enough for him? He just wants to be loved by people even if it means that he has to join the bad guy he and his own brother have fought the princess for. What was personally to him the hardest part about this wasn’t how his brother may feel about this, he was sort of the reason why he was in this situation to begin with even if he wasn’t aware of it. He was more worried about your reaction to it. He was thinking things like ‘she’s been there for me when I’ve felt down’ and ‘they’re been treating me the way I wanted so why isn't it enough?’. Honestly deep down he knows that this may be wrong but he feels as if he doesn’t have a choice. If he wants to be seen just like Mario then he’ll have to be the bad guy even if it means he has to hurt people that deeply care about him.

- Eventually though everyone does have a reaching point that causes them to snap and unfortunately it happened to Luigi. One day it was a regular adventure for Mario, focusing on rescuing Peach once again from Bowser’s grasp but today was different. Once he arrived at the castle she was trapped in but instead of being confronted by him he was confronted by his own brother which ended up turning into a fight and ended in the younger brother being burnt to death in the lava he was knocked into. Mario didn’t want to do it and he didn’t mean to; he just needed to defend himself but ended up killing his own brother in the process. Although he was betrayed by his brother and had the right to feel angry at him. All he could feel was upset about what happened and how it had to end. Despite the reasons for why Luigi decided join bowser he was regardless his brother he cared for, after wiping the tears that were rolling down his cheeks as he witnessed his brother being engulfed by the lava he had no choice but to go on and accept the fact that he killed Luigi roam his mind for the rest of the time he will be alive for. Eventually Peach noticed the sadness that appeared in Mario and he had no choice but to tell her what happened and of course she was upset as well. She pretty much has known Luigi as long as she did with Mario so this came to a surprise for her as well. All she could do was cry herself with her head in her hands as Mario just stood there starting to cry again himself before the both of them returned back to her castle.

- Mario knew that he should tell you about what happened to Luigi. He noticed that you happened to be closer towards his younger brother compared to him and honestly he didn’t mind it, he was just glad that Luigi had someone to rely on but now that he was dead you had the right to know but he just couldn’t. He knows he should but he just couldn’t.

+ You were made aware of Mario needing to rescue Peach again and assumed that Luigi would be joining him as well. How many times will it take for Bowser to get the hint and leave them alone? After wishing him good luck you had no choice but to wait patiently knowing that Mario would win once again and you were right but unfortunately you would learn some unfortunate news, well sort of. As you heard Mario and Peach return you immediately went up and greeted them however you quickly noticed something. They both seemed upset about something but what was it? Then you noticed something else “where’s Luigi?” You managed to speak up wanting to know what happened to your friend but you met with silence which only worried you more “I’m sorry [Name] I can’t say” Mario somehow managed to say while choking back some tears before leaving you alone with Peach who herself was holding back tears. You couldn’t understand what caused the two of them to be this upset. Obviously something must have happened to him but why weren’t they telling you? You started to get slightly pissed but not outright and also upset. Even Peach herself asked Mario “Mario you should tell her you know” she said, she understands how you feel she also happened to be close towards Luigi as well. She really thinks that Mario should at least hint at what happened to Luigi “I’m sorry Peach but I can’t tell her, I just can’t.” Mario replied back “I know it must be hard to comprehend and it’s not your fault but they deserved to know what happened to him. They’re the closest to him out of all of us.” Peach reassured him but Mario couldn’t say anything else. She has a point and he knows that but why couldn’t he do it? But after much bugging and not receiving an answer you had no choice but to give up. Pretty much accepting that he’s missing and that you might not see him again.

- It definitely felt weird not having Luigi around. He was actually really nice to be around, especially you. You don’t understand what could’ve happened to him. Even if wasn’t recognised widely still you didn’t understand who would have an outing for him. You ended up excluding yourself from others minus Mario and Peach but even then you didn’t see them much.

- But even with the thought that he was missing you just couldn’t shake it off that he was somehow alive. You know him too well although a bit reclusive himself he wouldn’t just die, he would keep up a fight even if it takes some encouragement for him to do so. So you decided to try to at least find him even if by the time you found him he was actually dead. You decided to go to the last place Mario was and it just so happened to be where Peach was last captured and went there without letting Mario or Peach know where you were going. Although it was a little nerve wrecking going out alone, you decided to risk it if it meant that you could see your friend again.

+ After some time you managed to arrive at the castle and entered it. You felt a cold wave of air flow right past you immediately sending a shiver down your spine. “It’s really quiet here…” you said to yourself. Although this place had no reason to have anything in it you would’ve at least expected to hear some boo’s at least. You managed to arrive in a room and the cold was immediately replaced with heat. You looked down to see lava and immediately cautioned yourself to be careful unless you wanted to fall into it, as you kept walking you saw some sort of being not that far in front of you. Although you were happy that at least someone else was here you still needed to be careful of yourself. Little did you know that the man in front of you was Luigi himself.

+ Ever since his death Luigi had pretty much been forced to stay in the castle that he last saw his brother and pretty much everyone else. All that he could feel was anger and hurt. Anger that he managed to get beaten by his brother and of course hurt because he literally got burned to death. But he also felt lonely. He didn’t want to feel this but since it was just him eventually he was going to start feeling it at some point. All he could do was get lost in his thoughts about things that happened before his inevitable demise. But he was snapped out of his thoughts by something or rather someone. He heard something and immediately assumed the worst. Maybe it was his brother wanting more or maybe trying to convince him that he didn’t mean to throw him into the lava. He could already feel himself getting angry again. He wanted to yell at someone for what happened to him. Blaming anyone for the reason he ended up like this, he stood up causing the person which ended up being you to freeze. He started preparing to send them away but as soon as he took in the moment to process who was in the same room as him he immediately froze himself. Unless he was hallucinating you were right in front of him. “[Name], is that you?” He spoke up in shock.

+ At first you couldn’t recognise him, I mean yeah it sounded like him although a little groggily and yes he was wearing his clothes although they had some holes in them but it was kind of hard to piece that it was him due to him being pretty much burnt to no recognition. If it wasn’t for him calling your name you wouldn’t have known it was him. “[Name], please tell me that it’s you?” He said once again just wanting a sign that it was actually you and that he wasn’t seeing things. “Yeah it is..” you managed to speak up but slightly teary “Luigi, what the hell happened to you?” You quietly spoke, it hurt seeing him like this. His skin had practically melted off. He changed physically that it felt weird seeing him. He wasn’t able to say something, he wanted to but he was starting to get caught up in his emotions. As much as he hated everyone he couldn’t find himself to hate you. In reality he knew he couldn’t hate you. You were his only friend all this time, even now although it took a while you eventually found him again which proved that you still cared about him. He walked up closer to you slightly limping before bringing you into a hug. At first it felt weird hugging him, his body felt oddly leathery. You managed to hug him back before hearing a slight whimpering coming from him. Before you knew it you started to hear him cry. “…[Name]” All he could say through his tears was your name causing you to tear up yourself. He didn’t care that he felt slight pain due to his burnt skin being touched by you. All he cared about was just being in your arms after being lonely for so long. You could feel your heart breaking hearing Luigi cry, although you’ve seen him upset you haven’t seen him this upset and actually crying right in front of you. You tried to move slightly so you could look at him directly but he quickly tightened the hug not wanting you to move. “…please, please don’t leave me [Name]…” he said in between his sobs thinking that you were trying to leave. You decided to save your questions for later, you could tell he needed this even though you had no idea what happened between his demise and now so you let him cry his heart out until he was ready to tell you what happened. For now you and ended in a tight felt hug not letting go until the both of you got your feelings out and managed to catch up with each other.

36 Questions to fall in love (well, maybe more than that) Chapter 6

(Last time I had someone DM me searching for the rest of it, so here's the AO3 link. Consider dropping a kudos!)

“What did you just say?” They must have been silent for at least a minute before that. Neither was even sure the other was breathing.

“I-- you--”

“I know what you said, why?”

“Because I like you?”

Luigi clutched his chest. “No, that's not true, it can't be.” He stood.

“It is, I've just been hiding it.”

“How long have you been hiding it, though? Have I become the new Peach? Am I just a replacement?!” Luigi backed away.

“It's not like that, I feel like I can talk to you more than I ever did her!”

“Oh, but it is like that! You don't like me for me, you like me cause I'm new!” He reached his foot back and took another step.

“But--”

“Save it! I didn't even want to come back here! I can't believe I wanted to spend time with you!” Another step back.

“Please, I don't want you to be her!”

“Then why--!” Luigi stepped off the desk. Bowser grabbed his waist before he could hit the ground.

“Don't die!” Bowser said, panic shaken.

Luigi looked to the stone floor, only a foot below him. He looked back up at Bowser. “I wasn't trying to.”

“I didn't say don't try to, I said don't!”

“Okay then, I won't!”

Bowser pulled him back up onto the desk, though he didn’t let go of Luigi’s waist yet. “Promise you won’t fall off the desk again?”

“Promise.” 

Bowser let go of his waist, sighing. “It’s not like that. I know you and her are different, and I like you in different ways,” he explained. “And I’m keeping my promise! I’m not going to kidnap you, any more than I already have.”

“I can’t leave though, can I?” Luigi asked.

Bowser paused. “That depends. Do you want to leave?” Bowser silently prayed it wasn’t the case.

Luigi's face flushed. He looked away. “Guess what I wanted the bag for?”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“I was going to escape with my bag, but I didn't want you to suspect me so I decided to continue on with the questions.”

“How were you going to escape? Either my guards or I would've found you.” Bowser asked, suppressing a laugh.

“Well…” Luigi paused, gears turning in his head. “I didn't think that far into the plan.”

Bowser laughed into his hand. He was too tired for this. “Don’t worry, if I caught you, I’d just ask you the same questions I already did.”

Luigi smiled, though it wasn't as genuine as some of his others had been. “You say that, but I have a feeling we'd have another breaking-in-through-my-window moment.”

“What can I say? I've been really bad at keeping promises.”

“It's fine, I mean, I wanted to be all independent and stuff, but I guess I can wait for Mario.”

“You were the one who wanted to come with me!”

“Yeah, but, I was tired, not thinking straight aside from, ‘huh, big guy suddenly wants to leave after wanting to stay forever? Well, might as well go with him!’”

“That seems an awful lot like wanting to come with me. You did cling to me like there was no tomorrow.”

“Yeah, to get you to stop! You're too strong, you would've shaken me off!”

“I think you like me back.” Bowser raised his eyebrows. He quickly remembered that Luigi almost fell to his death about the whole liking him thing. “Don't say anything. I know that was weird.”

Luigi nodded. “Yeah, it was.”

“I guess I'm tired as well. I haven't slept since 8, maybe, yesterday.”

“Oh poor you, it's not like you were kidnapped twice in the span of 24 hours!”

“You got to just be carried around, guess who was doing all the carrying?” 

“Guess who was thrashing around?”

“You slept the whole way here!”

“Not the first time!”

“Over 10 hours ago! I need sleep, and you are still a prisoner, by technicality.”

♡☆♡☆♡

Luigi walked next to Bowser as wind started to pick up outside the castle. It was a short walk to Bowser’s bedroom. Guess you don’t want to walk 10 minutes to get to where you spend a lot of your time. Bowser opened his door, gesturing for Luigi to enter. Luigi quickly did.

The room was nice, not royal nice, but still nice. There was a balcony where the red of the early morning sun could be seen, though it was mostly covered by clouds. Of course the bed was huge, and had the same sort of canopy that Luigi’s had. 

Bowser walked over to the balcony, opening the doors. “It’ll be nice to get some fresh air,” He explained. He walked back over to the plumber and stood over him, as if expecting something. Finally, Bowser sat on the floor, gesturing towards the bed. "Go ahead."

"What?! No. You are literal royalty, you go ahead!"

"I sleep in that bed every night, you go ahead."

"The floor is fine, really, you have a nice rug..." Luigi said, sitting down as well.

"You are the guest here, sleep in the bed!"

"You are the king here, you sleep in the bed!"

"I don't want special treatment!"

"Neither do I!"

Bowser sighed. "Well you're not going to sleep next to me, so one of us has to go up on the bed."

Luigi laid on the floor. "I'm not going up there."

"Well I think we've made it pretty clear that I'm not going up either!"

"I'm already comfortable."

Bowser frowned. He thought for a moment, before laying down as well. "Fine then. Be that way."

"See if I care." Luigi turned away. He didn't close his eyes yet, no, he didn't trust Bowser that much. Before even five minutes of him staring at the wall was over, he could hear a soft rumbling behind him. He rolled over, seeing Bowser curled up in a ball. 

As Bowser's chest would fall, the rumble would become more prominent. There was that little part of him, very little, that wanted to curl up next to him. Bowser wasn't being a mean tyrant, he was just sleeping. He almost looked...  cute.

Holy crap, Luigi had Stockholm.

After a lifetime of fighting and more fighting, he was falling hard and fast. Maybe this had been going on for a while, and he just didn't realize. Whatever the reason, he was here now and for the foreseeable future. He rolled onto his back, covering his eyes. Maybe if he just stared into the abyss, he'd forget about these questions, and he'd forget about Bowser.

Maybe, he wouldn't get his heart broken if he locked it away. Maybe if he made it through the night, he'd never have to see Bowser's face again. He opened his eyes, staring up at the ceiling. Tears welled up in his eyes, remembering every time Bowser had wrecked his life. Every time he was pulled further from the life he had dreamed of.

Tears fell silently to the floor as lightning flashed outside. Thunder followed a second later. Mario would hate him, Peach would hate him, the entire Mushroom Kingdom would hate him! Tomorrow he'd leave, tomorrow everyone would hate him, tomorrow he wouldn't be crying, but tonight he had one person who cared. 

He wiped the tears from his eyes, trying to control his breathing. He just wanted to be home, he wanted everything to go back to normal. A warm hand was placed over his. He looked over to Bowser with bloodshot eyes. Bowser looked back with the softest expression possible.

Luigi nudged closer to him. Not a word was spoken. Bowser wrapped his arms around Luigi. Their breathing was in cink as they both drifted off to sleep.

[darkwingsnark]

‘So what if Mario died?’

A Bowsario AU idea.

Step 1.) kill the man. Pick your poison, could be as simple as Mario dying during a more routine kidnapping or even one of the more random and evil villains. Point is, at the end of the day, you need a body-- so no King Boo trapping him in paintings just to rip it up.

Step 2.) Bowser can’t let it go. He doesn’t exactly know why, his own feelings mixed up with emptiness and anger from Mario having the gull to DIE. Real rude, man. Well Bowser isn’t going to just sit there and let the man be dead. It isn’t in the cards, at least not the ones he’s playing with-- Bowser always stacking things in his favor. So he waits for some time after the funeral so as to not having witnesses as he sends peeps off to steal a whole Mario. Just snatched him from the ground-- free dead man.

Step 3.) Resurrection. You’ve heard of Dry Bones and Dry Bowser, now lets see how you deal with Dry Mario. That’s right, Bowser has Kamek do some necromancy. Mario wakes in a gasp-- despite not having lungs-- not having memories of his death. He probably thinks it’s still mid adventure. He realizes he’s in Bowser’s castle, and of course he’s just going to break out. No kidnapping good ol’ Mario. Not today!

Step 4.) Mario fights his way out only to be confronted by Bowser. Bowser is relieved to see him alive and moving. He’s missed him far more than he realized. Of course, this jubilation is kind of put on hold as Mario goes on a whole spiel about how Bowser can’t kidnap him. He has things to do! He was in the middle of a mission! It is then Bowser realizes Mario doesn’t KNOW. Bowser tries to calmly explain to him that he died. He brought him back. Mario doesn’t believe him because, why would he? Bowser tries to convince him while they fight through the castle, only for one point Bowser finds a reflective object or rips a mirror off a wall to show him. Mario stop mid-attack to look at himself in horror.

Step 5.) Bowser... what have you done? It’s a lot, maybe too much to the point Mario’s unable to keep himself together as he literally falls apart. It is later that Mario wakes up again, this time in a different room altogether. It’s a room with accommodations like bed, separate bathroom, closet, bookshelf. And so on. Mario remembers what happened before fading to black, and looks at his arms. In shock he goes to the bathroom and looks in the mirror to take himself in. What he sees is this:

He is alone as he tries to do his best to evaluate the situation. First thing he needs to somewhat feel like himself. He is immensely relieved when he sees the closet has his trademark outfit-- down to the gloves, shoes, and even a hat. Mario gets dressed just to see less of himself, as well as the fact he feels naked. I mean, the guy is all bones, not even skin to make him naked. But it’s the principle of it! Step 6.) At some point he is visited by Bowser and gets more information out of him. He finds out what happened to him, how long he’s been dead. His instinct is to go back to Luigi, to make sure he’s okay. But Bowser and Kamek are able to convince him that woah woah woah... Green Stache? He was hurt the most from all of this, maybe don’t go over there and traumatize the guy more? It’s actually sound logic, and that surprises Mario. Enough that he’s able to listen out what Bowser’s plan is. They brought him back from the dead, sure easy enough. They do it all the time. But they’ve never turned people back into full on flesh people before. But there are theories that it can be done. They’re working on trying to restore him fully so that everything can go back to normal.

Mario essentially ends up staying with Bowser as they’re trying to figure things out. He at least makes Bowser promise to have people watch Luigi so that he doesn’t get worse. And to keep an eye on the Mushroom Kingdom in general. But meanwhile it’s Mario just... hanging. Trying to make himself useful, asking to go on mission to find herbs and stuff that Kamek needs to restore him. Lots of bonding with Bowser. And through it Mario finally asks ‘why did you do all of this?’ Only for Bowser to tell him ‘because the thought of having to act like things were normal without you being around scared me’. Mario learns just how important they are to each other’s lives, and during the journey/event fall in love.

Underrated Real Time Fandub Lines 2: Subspace Dubbed Over

“That’s one Reddit upvote right there!”

I had to read the transcript for this humdinger, said as Wario turns Zelda into a trophy.

“Woah! That was Wario and he won…”

That’s probably the best way to cap off Wario’s first appearance.

“My name’s ‘Pit’, like under the arm?”

“Exactly like that.”

There’s a lot of times where someone says something and somebody else’s response is drowned out, such as Palutena’s incredibly blunt response to Pit’s question.

“That’s the weirdest airplane.”

It deserves a prize.

“AAAAUUGHH! I remember when that happened!”

Wasted opportunity not to say “Looks like Team Rocket’s jacking off again”.

“ARM!”

“…Ow.”

The Halberd’s sole line of dialogue, coupled with Fox’s hilarious nonplussed reaction.

“What are we, some kind of Subspace Emissary?”

Because we’re…Super Smash Bros!

“Take that, TUUURTLEEE!”

It’s the weird added emphasis that seals the deal.

“You can’t shoot Donkey Kong!”

DK, as he’s actively being shot at.

“I don’t like the cut of your jib!”

DK, you’ve known Bowser for how long now?

“I did that on purpose!”

As the dub goes on, it becomes obvious that Wario’s the army’s most competent general.

“Am I a f***ing draaagon?”

I like to think the only reason Ray talks like that is because Holly’s voice is shot from Wario’s last scene.

“Tha…at’s right.”

“Pokémon Tower! Not Trainer, Tower!”

“Now I have it-ZELDA.”

Any time the characters acknowledge the character screens.

“I’m back with my GUN THAT KILLS PEOPLE!”

…As opposed to…

“I DO MAGIC, KILL JACKED UP KIDS, I’LL PROBABLY FLY NEXT!”

Porky, seconds before Ness sends him flying.

“I thought that guy was supposed to be Mario, bye!”

This wouldn’t be nearly as funny if Wario wasn’t screaming his name nonstop.

“Did you have lunch today, R.O.B.?”

“No, R.O.B., I didn’t have lunch today!”

The delivery on R.O.B. 2 is what kills me.

“It’s like-a the better pizzuh.”

R.O.B. lets his one guest appearance in Mario Kart go to his head.

“Why is it purple?”

“Because purple’s my favorite color, dumbass.”

“It’s a baaad color!”

“Stupid idiot.”

“Red’s better!”

This’ll be important later on...

“Dude, cookoldry-never mind.”

Hey, reference!

“Nyehh, oh, I’m not even supposed to be here!”

Another gem from “Bozo Dubbed Over” that doesn’t get enough appreciation.

“AH HOPE HE’S DEAD FOREVER!”

I quote this constantly.

“We’re Kirby.”

That’s oddly daunting coming from a bunch of Waddle Dees.

“Whoa, deja vu!”

“It’s happening again!”

Again, I quote Dedede constantly, intonation and all.

“It’s because I’m so scared that I did it!”

Luigi’s voice is just the best thing.

“F***ing, f***ing, f***ing, f***…I GOTTA WIN!”

Wario gets beat up so hard it causes him to talk normally.

“I HOPE THAT GUY’S NOT GETTING JACKED OFF.”

My favorite version of the episode’s running gag.

“HEY, LISTEN!”

Navi’s sole line of dialogue, and she’s inebriated.

“OHHH, that smells so bad! Did you do that?”

“…Yes.”

I adore the quick, off handed way Link says it.

“Who goes there? It’s me!”

Out of context, that’s an incredibly cool one liner.

“He speaks!”

Somebody in the background, talking about Pikachu.

“I think I found the computer room.”

IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN!

“That looks like OH, IT’S ME! KIRBY!”

Mar switching characters mid sentence.

“I think this guy’s about to kill you.”

This line plagues my mind and I love it.

“I killed you.”

“I ALSO KILLED YOU.”

Bowser and Bowser, Bowser’s Inside Story

“I’m here again! BOWSER! I GOTTA WIN!”

Must be a Subspace Army thing.

“Ahh, it’s me! Zelda!”

“Oh no! It’s him! Zelda!”

Bonus points for being the second or third intelligible things Peach says.

“They killed Link! It’s so funny she died!”

‘Zelda’ kind of sucks at his job.

“Oh, I know this guy. He jump on me.”

“Dude, you ever noticed I’m f***ing green?”

“I’m here too; f***!”

“I’m a f***ing animal!”

Yoshi in general is gold.

“EEEYYYYYYYY-”

“WHO THE F*** IS THIS GUY?!”

Kirby’s very abrupt and dynamic entrance on the Wariomobile.

“Well! It’s a good thing I fixed my roof and got Bowser outta here!”

I love the implication that all the branching timelines are literally occurring back to back.

“WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN! WE HATE YOU!”

Bowser takes a page out of Dedede’s book.

“That’s my girlfriend!”

“Don’t kill your girlfriend! That’s my job!”

“I DON’T KNOW HER! KILL HER!”

“That’s my job!”

Same two characters, different princesses.

“Tuck my hand on my head! Hope my hair isn’t gay…”

“His hair is so stupid.”

The first line is funny enough coming from this version of Marth. Ike, however, I’m only just hearing his aside for the first time.

“YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE. YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE. I CAN’T. I’M GONNA BLOW UP, DUDE. YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE. I CAN’T DO THIS ALONE.”

“My main goal is to blow up!”

Tower, you’re pure evil.

“Beep, boop. We’re opening the doors! Come on in!”

“I don’t know what they were talking about, but that’s okay.”

The Wall-E Squad provides some of the series’ best nonsequiturs.

“Hey, you stop that, dumbass!”

Not so funny now, is it R.O.B.?

“AWW, F***! IT’S JET THE HAWK!”

That would be his cousin.

“UGNHF.”

This guy’s about to…

“Now I’m a robot!”

I’ve got nothing. Sam’s incredibly proud delivery is just great.

“How’s the weather up there?”

Pikachu also gets a good burn in.

“I BET MY PENIS IS REAL SMALL!”

Hello to you too, Falcon.

“WAAGH! WAAGH! WAAGH! WAAGH!”

“Get the F*** OUT!”

Falco cares not for Diddy’s eccentricities.

“Okay, I’m-I’m sick of this.”

MK serves as a great voice of reason to the crew.

“I’M A VERY SPECIAL BOY.”

“That is un dog!”

“Iiii’m a furry.”

Because dogs aren’t furries!

“Whoo!”

“What the heck’s going on down there?”

“Me!”

“I’m also here!”

“I’m not supposed to be here!”

Tokusentai! Tokusentai! Tokusentai!

“It’s okay, we’re almost done.”

“…Really?”

“Kept ya waiting, huh?”

A golden bit of timing right there.

“I’m in disguise now!”

Sheik, making no attempt to hide their distinctive voice.

“I’m in love with Samus, actually now!”

“I’M NOT!”

“No, not as much as I am, look-”

“Do I get a say in this?”

“No.”

You’d think being his species’ only dude would teach the Gan-Man some respect.

“This guy’s so horny, let’s kill him!”

R.O.B.’s immediate response to the above.

“That’s your f***ing name? That’s stupid!”

Falcon to R.O.B.. Three guesses as to who voices Falco.

“THAT BETTER NOT BE THE RIDDLE GUY BEHIND US!”

It’s totally the riddle guy behind you.

“I’M THE BEST RACE CAR! F*** YOU!”

Kirby’s freaking pissed.

“My Michael was muted.”

That’s the most adorable way to refer to a microphone.

“You can’t kill me I’m so much too powerful f*** you to death.”

The lack of commas both deliberate and optimal.

“There shalt be no jacking off today…JACK ME OFF!”

“OOHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

“I’m jacking off!”

The climax of the dub, as narrated by Falco.

“Now I’m back alive. WHYYY!?”

“I’M GONNA KILL YOU TWICE!”

Doing things in twos is just the Dedede way.

“AH NEED AH MONSTAH TO CLOBBAH DAT DERE PENIS!”

You like his quote?

“Wario’s gotta lose!”

Luigi finally grows a pair.

“MEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOW”

The last intelligible thing we hear, presumably Jigglypuff, before Penny banishes everyone for their hubris.

🎮 with Wario and Luigi. The games that Luigi plays make Wario feel old

((This was a fun one to write.))

🎮 Games (Link to Post)

“When I said games, I meant board games.”

“I figured. But we’re only two people and that doesn’t make them very enjoyable. These are just as amazing, promise!”

“You’ve never played a game with me then. Not enjoyable, as if… Alright, what am I doing? What is this?” 

“It’s a controller.” 

“Why are there so few buttons yet so many buttons?” 

“You’re holding it upside down.” 

“Argh! Are you sure I can’t convince you to play a board game?”

“Come on, just give it a chance. Please?”

“...Waluigi told you about that face, didn’t he.”

“No. Every younger sibling has that face.”

“Ugh, fine, whatever. Just…tell me what I have to do.”

“Well, let’s start with an easy game. How about…racing?”

“Sure. I have nothing to go off of.”

“Okay, racing it is. …So, this is the main screen-”

“Why is it so loud!”

“Sorry! Sorry, hold on, sorry! Mario and I were playing this last night.”

“And it requires you to blare the music?”

“It helps us get into the game more. Anyway, now, press the A button.”

“Okay…A, got it.”

“Now we just need to pick your character.”

“Why are there so many!?”

“They’re all from different games. But that doesn’t matter, just pick one that you like.”

“This one looks like a handsome fellow.”

“...He’s an anti-hero who steals from a lot of people.”

“Sounds like a stand up guy.”

“...Right, anyway. So now that you have your character, we need to pick the track you want to race on.”

“So many choices, why are there so many choices?”

“So people don’t become bored?”

“Wow, humans must have really bad attention spans if you need this much to be entertained.”

“Anyway, I think you should start with this one. It’s one of the easier groups of tracks.”

“Wait, group?”

“Yeah, each area has at least 4 tracks to it.”

“...”

“...”

“Short. Attention. Spans.”

“Can you please just try this.”

“Fine. As long as you don’t make that pleading face again…”

“Okay, this button moves you forward and this little stick lets you move your car from side to side.” 

“Hey…this isn’t so bad. Oh, what do those boxes do?”

“They give you little ‘Power-Ups’ that let you attack other racers.”

“Are you kidding me!? That’s amazing!”

“You’re getting the hang of this pretty quickly.”

“Ha! No one’s a faster learner than I am.”

“Maybe we can race against each other after you race a few more rounds?”

“Are you kidding? After I win this, I’ll show you how this is done!”

“Sure, sounds fun!”

.

.

.

Mario and Waluigi paused in the doorway to the straight sight that greeted them. Wario, sitting on the couch, slumped over with his head in his hands while the game controller rested at his feet. Luigi was on the floor, still holding his controller and offering a cheerful “Hello!” to the new arrivals. On the television screen was the winning screen with the title of ‘Player 2 Wins!’ flashing across it.

Waluigi moved first. Walking further in to place a hand on his brother’s shoulder. “So, how was your day?”

“I thought I had a handle on it.” Wario moaned back weakly. 

“Oh, did you try to play against Luigi?” Mario asked, which only resulted in a loud, sorrowful moan, “Yeah, probably should have warned you. He’s an expert player. I’ve never been able to beat him. Like ever. Never seen anyone defeat him.”

Luigi only beamed.

[brendathedoodler]

*raises hand timidly* about that Hero Mr L AU, in your last answer you mentionned s post game part of that AU, so does Mr L ever regain his memories ?

(Haven't actually played SPM yet, so I don't know much about actual plot events outside of "Luigi gets brainwashed and adopted by the bad guys, Mr L happens and is a riot, and he almost causes the end of the world when he actually regains his memories')

Wonderful question!

I have two versions of the au’s postgame, and in one of them he absolutely does.

The end of the world is avoided, Count Bleck and Tippi have vanished but are living happily ever after, Dimentio is dead (supposedly), and the rest of the villains aren’t trying to destroy all worlds anymore.

However, Mr L is still Mr L. Just as the villains go to leave, Mario reaches out and grabs Nastasia by the arm.

“You were the one who brainwashed my brother. Can you fix him?”

Nastasia confirms that she can. It would be quite easy for her, in fact. She turns towards the heroes and her glasses meet Mr L’s white eyes.

He freezes in place. He’s always been afraid of her, though he’s never had a specific reason why. Staring her down, though, it doesn’t matter why. He can’t let her get rid of him.

Mr L has heard Mario talk about how different Luigi was. Bringing Luigi back would mean getting rid of Mr L.

He tries to flee with his rocket boosters, but Bowser saw it coming. He snatches Mr L right out of the air and holds him down.

Nastasia approaches and Mr L panics. He shouts, he cries out, and he calls for Mario specifically. Mario had said that even if he couldn’t be Luigi again, he’d still love him like his brother, right? Surely he’s not getting to just let her destroy him? Right?

Mario does one of the most difficult things he’s had to do this entire adventure.

He turns away.

In that momentary distraction, Nastasia hits Mr L with her abilities. Bowser lets go, and Mr L falls to his knees. He’s struggling against it at first, but then slumps over. The magic disperses, and he slowly opens his eyes.

They’re blue again, no longer Mr L’s unnatural white.

Mario rushes over, elated to see that little difference. He stops in his tracks when Luigi flinches back.

Luigi doesn’t remember a goddamn thing that happened while Mr L was active. Some leftover feelings still remain, though, and tensions were high in the moments before Luigi was returned.

Peach kneels down next to him, gently rubbing his back and assuring him that he doesn’t need to worry, he’s safe now. “What’s the last thing you remember?”

Luigi mentions crashing Bowser and Peach’s forced wedding (which Bowser mutters something about). He admits that he remembers ending up in some weird monochrome castle, but he doesn’t remember what happened there or how he ended up here.

It’s then that he realizes just how he looks. Weird clothes, weird bandana, weird mask- wait, when was the last time he shaved!?

Mario laughs at Luigi’s bewilderment. Yup, classic Luigi. He goes over to help him up, and he he’s almost lightheaded with relief when Luigi doesn’t hesitate to accept his help. He’s also relieved that Luigi doesn’t mind him taking the mask off (Mr L would’ve slaughtered him for it).

“So… What just happened? Something obviously happened,” Luigi asked, and he notices Mario and Peach both freeze in place. Oh boy, it’s something serious then.

Luigi decides that now is not the time. “Actually, I changed my mind. I don’t want to deal with this right now. I’m going to shovel a huge bowl of pasta in my face and take a nap, then I’ll deal with it,” he decides.

Mario takes his hand and leads him to the tower’s elevator, a relieved smile on his face and tears welling up in his eyes. He tells Luigi about this place that makes incredible pasta, and an inn with beds so soft you’d think they were meant for royalty.

Luigi is fine, and everything goes back to normal. The world is saved, and all is well.

(They explain what happened to him after. Luigi doesn’t remember any of it, but it is a little scary to think about the fact that he did all that. Mario does his best to assure him that it wasn’t him doing that, it was Mr L. Luigi appreciates it, but he doesn’t mention the strange remnants. He doesn’t talk about knowing things he shouldn’t (the names of Count Bleck’s minions, their habits, their likes and dislikes), he doesn’t talk about the strange dreams he’s been having (of being trapped in a monochrome fortress, of being flooded with indescribable power, of Mario turning his back on him). Perhaps it’s best if everything Mr L was is simply… Buried.)

#super paper mario #spm #mr l hero au #mr l #nastasia #mario #princess peach #canon plays out much differently. Luigi gets his memories back after beating Mr L a second time #(Dimentio kills Mr L and he gets sent to the underworld where he meets up with the heroes as a Luigi again) #then he’s just normal Luigi until the end of the game where he gets hypnotized and fused with Dimentio to become Super Dimentio #this game is wild! I highly recommend you play it #also the alt ending for the hero au is Mr L not regaining his memories #it’s mostly an excuse for me to examine how Mr L would respond to a variety of unfamiliar situations

Battle Aftercare (mom figure Luigi headcanons) part 1

Larry:

“OOOWWWWWWIIEEE!” Larry landed on the floor, his limbs trembling and his head felt heavy. “DANGIT! I WAS SO CLOSE!” Larry yelled, hitting his fist against the floor a few times. Mario collected the key and started to run off, Larry lazily reached out before his hand flopped lazily back onto the ground. “N-Nooooo...y-you can’t.” He blinked tireldy as his head rested on the ground. Luigi nervously started walking past Larry while keeping eye contact with the young Koopa. “What are you looking at Greenie!?” Larry huffed. “Y-you should get some rest.” He didn’t know why he said it but it seemed like the right thing to say. Larry smirked tiredly. “What are you...? My mom?” he rested his head on the stone floor and chuckled. Luigi kneeled down and began to gently pet Larry’s head until his eyes fully closed. “Luigi?” Mario called from the exit. “I’m coming!” Luigi called back. He gently pat Larry’s head on more time before he ran off to catch up with Mario

Roy:

“AAAAGGGHHH!” Roy crumbled to the ground in defeat rubbing his head as he started feeling incredibly dizzy. “I-i had that in the baaaaag!” Mario grabbed the key as Roy started getting up stumbling as he was still dizzy. “H-hey were not done here!” “Yes we are.” Mario replied making a break for the exit. Luigi hesitated as the large Koopa started stumbling towards them, trying to get a hit in. Luigi gently his hands on Roy’s shoulder’s. “Y-you’re lightheaded. You need to sit down.” Roy sneered and pushed him away. “I don’t need to sit down and I defintely don’t need help from YOU!” Roy tried to punch Luigi only to stumble over when Luigi moved out of the way. Roy groaned as Luigi kneeled down beside him. “D-do you need water. I have some water bottles in my pocket-” “I DON’T. NEED. HELP!” Roy growled as he sat on the ground rubbing his head. Luigi set down a water bottle and ran after Mario.

Lemmy:

“Noooooo!” Lemmy collapsed onto his knees as he looked at his deflated ball. "YOU POPPED IIIITT!" Lemmy wailed and burst into tears. Mario flinched as he picked up the key. "H-Hey calm down, m-maybe you can use your wand to fix it." Lemmy covered his face and kept crying. "I caaaaan't! I-I dropped it!" Luigi and Mario glanced at each other before trying to search for the wand. "there it is!" Mario said pointing down the ledge near the door. "I see the glow of the green gem." Luigi ran over to the ledge "I'll get it. You stay here and calm down the little guy." Mario nodded and went over to Lemmy who was still sobbing and patted his head gently. "It's ok, no need to cry, little guy. " M-My ball is ruined!" Lemmy sniffled and hiccupped. "Head's up!" Luigi called as he jumped up with the wand in hand, walking up and giving the wand back to him. Lemmy sniffled and took it back before waving it at pointing it at his ball, almost instantly it inflated back up. Lemmy sniffled before a smile spread across his face, he jumped back on his ball, giggling and bouncing as the brothers left

With the Mario sequels being inevitable and the talk about a possible trilogy, I wanted to share some ideas to what I think those movies could take inspiration from.

Note: this is just speculation and if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Also, since there are ALOT of games in the Mario universe, I combined some of the games to bring as much of this franchise to the big screen as possible.

Option nr 1:

Sunshine/ Luigis mansion ☀️🌛

Why did these two combine? Well, the thing is that both focus on an invention created by none other than Professor E.Gard. In Luigi's Mansion he is the inventor of the poltergust While in the sunshine he is the creator of not only F.L.U.D.D but also Bowser jr's paintbrush. Also the theme of light and darkness could be a fun idea.

Idea of the story:

It start like in sunshine with Mario and his friends travel to isle delfino (Luigi coming along as well) for some fun. When they land, Mario gets accused for all the destruktion that had happen on the iland and thrown into jail. The only thing our hero has to go on is the wanted poster showing a Mario looking guy and the same markning on marios new friend and companion f.l.u.d.d (who, like in the game, mario meet when they landed). In order to regain his brother's honor Luigi travel to the inventor to f.l.u.d.d, an hermit named Proffesor Elvin Gadd to get some intel while mario and Peach try to figure out who the inposter is. What they find out is a unexpected team up and a big threat to the iland but that’s nothing our heros can’t handle….right? 😅

Usually in Luigi's mansion, Mario gets kidnapped, but since that happened to Luigi in the first movie, I thought this could be an interesting alternative. Another idea is to have Mario accompany Luigi on the ghost hunt after Peach "disappears". Luigi is the one who has an arc about finding his inner hero and making his big brother proud. 💚♥️

The villains are of course bowser jr and King Boo. Jr wants revenge against the guy who took his dad, at the same time he is convinced that Peach is his mother because Bowser always talks about her. Boo is the more evil guy (or ghost) who wants darkness over the island so his people (aka the boos) can live happily without the sun (while happily letting them wreak havoc. It’s also funny how both are working with some kind of art (Jr paint while Boo ”take” picture). 🎨

What do you think? 🧐 have more Ideas but this is the first one 😊

Hidden Anxieties (Mario Bros one shot)

The sound of the key clicking in the lock was music to Mario's ears.   Opening the door and quietly stepping inside, he was surprised to see Polterpup come bounding up to him, tail wiggling happily as the ghostly pup begged for attention.     "Hey lil guy, what are you doing here?" Mario said, giving him chin scratches. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and was further surprised to see Professor Gadd coming out of the living room.     "Good to see you safe and sound, m'boy." Gadd said. "Didn't expect you back in the middle of the night."   Mario shut the door and began pulling off his boots. "Peach and I decided against a slower trip home, ended up traveling all day yesterday and some of tonight." He felt a pang of worry. "Is Luigi okay?"   Gadd rubbed his chin. "Luigi's all right, he should finally be asleep, I think. I had to get him to take a sleeping shroom tonight." Mario started as he hung up his cap. "A sleepin' shroom? Are we talkin' about my brother?" his Brooklyn accent slipped through. "Because he can sleep like a rock unless there's a storm."     "I see, you've never come back at night, have you?" Gadd muttered. "Come in the living room, I think you need to hear why I'm here."

  As they entered the living room, Gadd clicked on a light and Mario saw the couch was made up into a bed.     "You've been spending the night?" Mario asked, plopping down in one of the soft, overstuffed chairs. Gadd sat on the couch with Polterpup sitting beside him.     "I have a few times now when you have to leave. Usually two days in, Luigi will call me in a panic, I come over and get him calmed down."   Mario slumped back. "That's why you've been here when I've come back, isn't it?" Gadd nodded. "Luigi hasn't told you, has he? He'll pack up the blankets and clean every morning to make it look like he's been alone, and he fights so hard to remain calm, until night falls."     "I never knew..." Mario said softly. "How bad is it?"     "It's bad when he's alone, he can't even eat. I can get him to drink tea at least, and eat a little. Polterpup helps him calm down somewhat, too. I've been able to coax him into going on walks." Mario looked towards the bedroom stairs. "Thanks for telling me."     "Of course. Now, how about you go get some rest, and we can talk more about this during the day. I imagine you're exhausted."   Bidding the Professor goodnight, Mario headed upstairs, but he wasn't prepared for what he found. The bedside light was on and Luigi was curled up in Mario's bed, tightly clutching one of his older brother's shirts. His face was streaked with tears. Mario felt a lump in his throat as he sat on the edge of the bed and placed a hand on Luigi's shoulder.     "Weege," he called softly, "hey lil bro."   Luigi jerked slightly and looked up, his eyes lighting up at the sight of Mario smiling back at him. Letting out a soft cry, he sat up and grabbed him in a hug. Mario could feel him trembling.     "Keep having bad dreams..." Luigi's voice was still thick with sleep.     "It's okay lil bro, I'm back, it's all okay." After a moment, Luigi's grip on him began to relax as the sleep shroom's effects continued. Not even bothering to change, Mario crawled under the covers and put his arm out.     "C'mon, I'll keep those bad dreams away." Luigi cuddled up against him, letting out a trembling sigh.     "...Love you." he mumbled.     "Love you, too."
