Do u think mario and Luigi act like each other as a response to trauma?
I don't think so, but i do think that they...
Pick up on a lot of each other's habits by virtue of being brothers who lived their entire lives together
Find each other to be inspiring in their own special way Luigi has a strong desire to be brave like his brother. He pushes his own boundaries while following after him, and exhibits shame in his inability to defend himself.

Meanwhile, we can see that Mario makes a conscious effort to play it safe and keep his mouth shut much the way Luigi does... even though Mario often ends up caving to his own bullheaded determination in the end.

I think instances where they act like each other are less a trauma response and more an effort to self-comfort and find balance.

He'll be a homeboy for you. But not in a way you expect.

Last time Luigi took him to pride, he saw that almost everyone else had their own flags, so this year he brought his own.

Could Luigi Mario survive Castle Dracula?
This seems like a really excellent opportunity for Luigi Wins By Doing Nothing
Luigi can do everything Mario can do backwards and in high heels but he is a huge coward. Large spooky buildings haunted by malevolent entities are both the thing he's terrified of and his opportunity to shine.
The crucifix is easy. Not only is he Italian, not only can Luigi not say no to people, but no Mario Brother ever refused a power up.
Does Dracula have indoor plumbing? Does Dracula need indoor plumbing?? Well, maybe he does now. Luigi has his work cut out for him, but the next guy will have significantly more ease making his toilet. All this to say, I think Luigi can easily be gainfully employed for two solid months and thus justify Dracula keeping him around.
Luigi is not going to be picking fights without some desperate need. Luigi is going to be cowering. He might well go exploring, but if he does, he will be cowering all the way. I find the whole May 16th thing something that would very believably happen to Luigi.
Mario gets the faked letters and they just say "your brother is in a different castle." Maybe for extra irony they also contain a p-wing
Luigi is the tall one, which is convenient when Dracula decides to steal his clothes because it makes them much more likely to fit him. I want you to close your eyes and imagine Dracula going to town to post letters and steal babies and such dressed as Luigi. It's so much better than impersonating Jonathan because when you're dressed like that, nobody's gonna pay attention to your face. They even both have mustaches it works!
And then once Dracula leaves Luigi can easily make it out because he is an expert platformer. There's no good reason for him to need to be rescued as often as he does because the vast majority of the time he and Mario are mechanically identical. Except in Mario 2 where his jump is better and his dig speed is worse. Which only makes him better at Castle Dracula.
Anyway, Luigi can survive Castle Dracula by doing nothing. Like, there isn't even any lava it's fine.
