Clara

Clara wasn't born, she was created by the Dark Stone while it was used by Antasma. Antasma had made a wish for a living being that was as powerful as the stone itself, intending to use said creation as a prototype to his own army to take over the world. However, the stone gave him a baby girl, which very much upset him since it wasn't at all what he wanted and so he left her as he didn't have a use for a baby.

She ended up being petrified along with the Pi'illos upon Antasma's imprisonment and continued to stay petrified even after the Pi'illos were freed because she wasn't found and no one even knew of her existence.

Her petrification was an act made by the Dark Stone intentionally so she would survive until she was found and rescued from her abandonment, the stone had given her a large chunk of its power to her and it didn't want that chunk to die and be wasted.

Luigi ended up finding her petrified form by following the instincts the Nightmare Chunks activated in his head, freeing her. He was mortified when he freed her since he hadn't realized she was alive and immediately took her in.

He took her back home with him and gave her the name Clara. With the help of his family, he provided her with all the baby necessities and took as many notes as he could from Dreambert and Eldream about dream bats, wanting to provide for her the best he could despite knowing so little of her kind.

Clara was raised like a normal, happy little girl alongside Alisha, who was most ecstatic to have a little sister she could actually love. The locals give her permission to munch on their dreams freely, especially the elders who adored her since she was a baby and took naps regularly. This helped her a lot and kept her at top health.

When she got older, she took up playing the flute as she liked how beautiful and calming it sounded. Later on, she took up the hobby of dreamcatchers and light catchers. She liked using different coloured threads to create differently designed dreamcatchers that could potential help with her dad's bad dreams. She loved creating light catchers since she loved how shiny it looked and how the colours bled out into the room, even more so when she could use gems and see-through beads to decorate it.

While she loves eating the local fruits of the Mushroom Kingdom, she loves nothing more when her dad takes trips to his own world once a year or so and brings home the fruit called mandarins, jumping all over the place excitedly and asking for them the second he opens the door when he returns with them.

She can turn into a bat at will and turn her legs into a flowy, ghostly tail but she prefers to have legs since everyone else has them and she can wear pretty shoes with them.

She wears glasses due to her bad eyesight but she doesn't mind, although she switches them with eye contacts when she's of age.

She knows of how she came to be from her own memories from when she was created and who she is regarding the Dark Stone and Antasma but she hardly cares. Luigi, Dreambert and Eldream helped her train her powers so they don't go rogue all of a sudden and she doesn't consider Antasma as anything to her, not even her creator. Why should she? Luigi stepped up and gave her all she needed and more, so she wants nothing to do with Antasma.

I'm not use if she can be considered Antasma's biological daughter since the only thing connecting them in what they share from the Dark Stone. Blood has nothing to do with their connection or anything.

Alisha

TW: mention of death, mention of abuse, mention of homicide

Alisha was born way before the bros, still in the Mushroom World but in a more secluded area where only humans lived.

She did not live a good life, which led to the homicide of her biological family and her death by a rope.

Due to the amount of hatred and need for revenge she felt, her spirit took over the mansion she was trapped in her whole life and trapped the souls of her family in it to force them to do her bidding and suffer for their crimes and wrongs against her.

This led to many other fools who thought they could wonder in her mansion and leave alive, all dying in agony at her hands.

King Boo ended up finding her after his many defeats against Luigi and took a liking to her powers and festering hatred, offering her to work with him in exchange for greater power. She agreed on it.

Luigi was sent to her mansion by E-Gadd who caught her ghost activity and she unleashed hell on him, using all the trapped souls to scared and hurt him. She made sure he wasn't killed, wanting to have that honour.

However, as Luigi went through the mansion, he found notes, diaries and other clues, learning the history behind this mess and in addition, her own. He felt awful for her, realizing that even now when she had full control, she was suffering.

When he reached the end and battled her, he tried to calm her down and help her but she wouldn't listen. She thought he was trying to trick her so he could escape with his life, why would she be given what she couldn't have in life? Especially now after all she's been through, after all she has done to end up this way?

When she finally had the chance to end him. She couldn't. Her knife wouldn't touch him. Her hand wouldn't move. No matter how much she screamed, she raged and cried and accused him of using foul magic, she couldn't kill him. The scared and broken child she tried to protect with rage and wrath was full displayed to Luigi and she couldn't hide it again.

Luigi only hugged her and lulled her to sleep.

He took her home that day and refused to let E-Gadd tell him otherwise. He had made up his mind and was determined to give Alisha what she should have had all along.

This is how she became his first adopted daughter and she would forever be grateful for being found and taken in by him.

It took awhile for her to learn to live a normal life or get murderous with others that tried to test her patience but Luigi didn't give up on her.

She learned how to truly be happy, found out what things she liked, what hobbies worked for her and how to be who she wanted to be.

She now joins Luigi when he goes to haunted places, helping him progress when stuck and fight off boos and hostile ghosts.

childhood friends/first meeting (as children)

Luigi's harem... surprise

Before disappearing, do writers also do hand exercises like digital artists?

Good bye

I don't do exercises other than cracking my knuckles every so often. Anyways!

Daisy: if these two met as children, Daisy would be the first to initiate conversation and try to get Luigi to come out of his shell and play. Luigi would be extremely shy but with a bit of encouragement he'd come out and be friends with Daisy. These two would be great friends and spend a lot of time together, drawing, playing sports, etc. A strong friendship that will come to last for years.

Peasley: if these two met at a young age, I feel like Luigi would end up being more confident in himself thanked to Peasley's encouragement and support, especially if Mario followed suit to it. It wouldn't be a drastic change but a noticeable change. Luigi would also be a good support system to Peasley when his royal duties start to become a bit too much or when he starts doubting himself, especially in their teenage years when they can feel the most emotional.

Dreambert: if they met young then it would be before Antasma came into the picture. These two would find solitude in each others calm demeanors and friendly attitudes. If Dreambert offered to show Luigi the dream world or enter Luigi's dreams for a surreal adventure, they might have ended up tapping into Luigi's dream powers a lot sooner and they would have helped train him to use them better. Eldream would be able to help with this too since Snoozemore wouldn't have been in the picture either and Eldream is a trusted friend of the royal Pi'illo family with a lot of old knowledge about dreams.

Bowser: I mean, canonically these two did meet when they were young, Luigi being a newborn but the meeting wasn't all that great. It even got worse when baby Mario and Yoshi showed up. Plus, baby Bowser is spoiled rotten by Kamek and was shaped into the beast the Mushroom Kingdom now fears so I don't think there would have been a chance of a friendship with them.

King Boo: King Boo was probably around way before the bros were born so he'd still be an adult when Luigi is a child, but he'd still have his normal red gem instead of the purple one on his crown so he wouldn't be all that insane. Even if we make a version where King Boo is still a normal, common boo, his main goal when meeting Luigi would be to scare him to tears, especially when Luigi is an easy target to be frightened. However, when the bros become the heroes of the MK and King Boo kidnaps Mario, he might remember them, faintly since then he'd only see them as nameless victims to scare. He might remember Luigi a bit more from being a favourite so he'd be surprised at how he can push forward despite how scared he still is. Pretty sure the boos would have given him early trauma from that so it'd be a lot harder on Luigi.

Antasma: for Antasma, I'll stick to Luigi being Dreambert's friend and they both found Antasma as a bat and took him in. He'd get attached to both children due to their care and kindness towards him. You didn't hear this from me but he is closer with Luigi since he sneaks him extra sweets and has the best dreams to munch on. When he turned evil and took the Dark Stone he tried to get Luigi to join him but he obviously refused and it made Antasma have a festering hatred of betrayal much like with Dreambert. Luigi was forced by Dreambert to escape before Antasma was imprisoned since Dreambert didn't want him to be targeted and so he wasn't aware of the petrification of the Pi'illos, only that Antasma didn't intent to go down alone.

Dimentio: We can't even confirm his past, how can we confirm he was ever a child? Technically, my new AU fits with this scenario but might as well come up with another. Unless Dimentio was aware Luigi would be the Man in Green of the Prophecy, I doubt he would even care. If he did know, however, he may be the reason Luigi is still alive after everything he's been through before the events of SPM happened. He would monitor Luigi whenever the Count didn't have need of him for a mission or task and he would keep an eye on how he faired as a child, which he could then use to manipulate him with in the future.

[nuctoria]

ISTAAAA!!

Been a while since I offered a Bowuigi AU idea! Buckle up, this one is going to be rough 😈

It all starts with a typical, run of the mill battle of the Bros against another villain on the outskirts of the Mushroom Kingdom. For once Bowser is on their side. Well, sort of, he wants the same thing as the villain and won't take no for an answer. All in all, your usual boss battle.

Until it's not.

Something goes wrong wrong wrong, the villain triggers something, a huge explosion is about to happen, Mario grabs Luigi's hand and flings him away to safety right before everything goes KABOOM!!

All goes dark for Mario.

When he wakes up, he's stuck under rubble and it takes him hours to get out. Outside, everything is...different. The battlefield was barren and scorched when he last left, now it's lush and green in the bright sun. There is no one around.

Whatever, Mario thinks, the priority is to make it back to the MK castle. But it's easier said than done; the bridge he wanted to take is broken, the usual warp pipes don't work...

He comes across some Shy Guys at some point and instead of attacking him, they shriek and run. Mario follows them, and that leads him to one of Bowser's floating fortresses. On Mushroom Kingdom territory.

More and more worried about Peach or Luigi being prisonners,Mario manages to sneak inside and starts looking for his friends.

That's when he comes across Bowser.

Who looks a lot rougher than the last time he saw him. But what's surprising is how flabbergasted Bowser looks at his sight, before turning absolutely furious and charging, attacking Mario with a rage and desperation he's rarely witnessed, roaring "LEAVE US ALONE !!!".

Mario fights, and although he's not in top shape, manages to land some big blows on Bowser, and even gets him into a position where he can jump on him and deal a serious attack as Bowser is laying on the ground.

But right before his foot can connect, a blast of lightning intercepts Mario and sends him flying.

"Get away from my husband, bastardo!!!"

That voice...Mario looks up, and, standing defensively in front of Bowser, fists cracking with lightning...

"Luigi??"

"...Mario ??"

Bowser gets back up and immediately scoops up Luigi:

"You know it's not him! You know it's happened before! Stop falling for the tricks of that...thing !"

And before Mario can react, Koopa Troopas pile on him and manage to overcome him.

Once he's locked away and everyone has calmed down, he progressively learns the following facts:

It's been years since the battle.

He's been dead. Not missing : dead. His body, or what was left of it, was buried by Luigi and Peach in the aftermath of the battle.

Everyone in the Mushroom kingdom was heartbroken, of course, especially Luigi and Peach, but Bowser was more affected than everyone expected by his archnemesis' death. To the point he fell into a deep depression and started neglecting his kingdom.

King Boo saw an opportunity and turned on him, attacking the Darklands and capturing Bowser and his family. Luigi, initially looking for missing Toads, accidentally came to Bowser's rescue.

That was when the first impostor came along. Right after King Boo was defeated, something vaguely shaped like Mario with red eyes showed up and attacked them both. Bowser and Luigi, reacting on instinct, protected each other. Luigi was in a deep state of shock afterwards, to the point Bowser, himself deeply shaken, kept him and nursed him back to health.

Luigi stayed in the Darklands for some months after that. They started bonding. Luigi was angry at Bowser, of course, but he took being in their enemy's care as his punishment. He couldn't stay at the Mushroom castle, feeling guilty and ashamed whenever he was around Peach, and unable to talk about his brother with her. Bowser was the closest persn to Mario aside from Peach and himself, and they started having long discussions about his brother. Then it moved to other subjects. Then Bowser started showing a different side of him, one that gave Luigi the comfort he deeply needed. Then Junior grew attached to Luigi.

When they started dating, another Mario clone showed up. Still a poor imitation, but just a bit more similar to the original. They defeated him, but it burned away and they couldn't gather enough information to know where to look.

It showed up again. And again. Each time Luigi and Bowser grew closer, another Mario clone would show up out of nowhere to attack them. And each clone was closer to the original than the previous one.

The one who attacked when peace was signed before the Darklands and the MK had a normal human skin (instead of a dark metallic one).

The one who attacked when Luigi officially moved to the Darklands had blue eyes.

The one who attacked on their wedding day could speak.

Luigi was now scared of that new threat showing up. And yet he was sure this one wasn't just a clone, this was the real Mario! Somehow back from the dead!

...Right ?

That was what Mario learned.

But what he concludes is this : Bowser must be behind all this. He has magicians who dabbled in necromancy, he has cloning magic, he would be able to do this. Mario didn't understand why Bowser pretended to love Luigi instead of Peach, but he was convinced all of this relationship was some kind of ploy to get revenge on Mario and use Luigi. And Luigi had to be under some influence to love and trust Bowser. It had to be. It couldn't be otherwise!

....Right?

.

Is Bowser sincere in his sentiments for Luigi? Has he been using him since the beginning? Is Mario the real Mario or the most advanced version of these evil clones? Who is right? Who is wrong?

#@istadris is cooking again #bowuigi #Ista writes #not my writing #I'm in college I can't be crying!!!

[nuctoria]

I felt tender for Luigi's adopted daughters, they look like little monsters but they just need love and care.

👀

New oc villain (did you use watercolor?), do you have a little history about her just like Cobrella?

Liliana, my cat have the same name (lol)

Clara was found by Luigi as a baby so she was raised like a normal, happy little girl. Alisha is a whole other situation that will be explained later. All I'll say, it wasn't pretty.

I didn't draw Liliana with water colours, she was done with Crayola knock-off markers and a bit of coloured pencils to try and make the top part, where the vines are, to look like the texture of tights (which I failed at miserable. It least it looks cool).

Liliana lives in a lake near a small town and she has put the fear of constant death in the residents. She drags underwater anyone foolish enough to wonder too close to her lake, which is mostly tourists the town welcomes in so they can save their own for a little bit longer. She drowns her victims and feeds on their nutrients, if the town ever tries to call for help, act against her or defy her, she'll threaten to flood the town and drown them all at once.

Super Mermaid Bros AU (Part 3)

He waved his arms wildly, trying to keep some sort of balance as he was floating in this strange pipe at high speed. The pipe turned clear after one point and he was able to see the colourful clouds that surrounded him. Mario's fright was replaced with wonder and curiosity at the view around him, growing even more curious when passing another green pipe that was identical to the one he was sucked into.

He soon snapped back to reality at the fearful, high pitched squeals of his brother, finally spotting him ahead of him, flaying about like a fish on land. Luigi called out to Mario in fear as Mario waved his arms in a swimming motion and moved his tail with all his might to move closer towards his brother until they were grasping each others hands tightly.

"It's all gonna be ok!" assured Mario. "How is this gonna be ok?!" Luigi asked, still afraid of what was going on. "I'm telling ya! Nothing can harm us as long as we're together!" promised Mario, looking directly into Luigi's eyes.

That seemed to calm Luigi down as he started to smile, only to be ripped away from his brother and pulled into a pipe that seemed to be made of magma and was surrounded by dark clouds. The brothers called out to each other but it was no use.

Mario was shot out of another large, green pipe and straight to a mushroom the size of a tree, bouncing off of it and falling straight into a lovely, clear lake. He breathed heavily and took a few seconds to calm down and get his thoughts in order, looking at his surroundings in confusion. The lake wasn't one he knew or recognised, it didn't have many fish or flora in it either, but other than that it looked like a regular, calm lake. The true shock came when he popped his head out of the water and he saw the forest of giant mushrooms the lake was located in.

He swam to the edge of the lake and reached out to touch a smaller sized, blue mushroom, only to be startled back by a short creature that wore a mushroom hat and wearing a backpack. "Don't touch that mushroom, you'll die!!" screamed the little thing, backpedaling after taking a closer look at the mushroom Mario was about to touch and stroking the top with a chuckle. "Oops, I'm sorry. That one's perfectly fine".

"T-That's a mushroom...man. It's a mushroom man talking to me!" mumbled Mario in horror and disbelief as he swam back, unable to believe his eyes and thinking he had gone insane. He swam even further back and dipped his head back in the water when the mushroom man hopped over to him and introduced himself as 'Toad'. He certainly didn't look like a toad though. He hesitantly told Toad his name and rose back up, watching as Toad inspected Mario from top to bottom.

"That's strange. I haven't seen anyone like you before. What are you?" asked Toad, holding his chin with his thumb and pointer finger. "I'm, uh... I'm a merman" answered Mario, but it didn't seem like Toad understood. "A 'merman'? What's a 'merman'?" asked Toad again. "Y'know. Half man, half fish? Humans of the water? That merman." Mario tried to explain, unsure how to even do so. How could he not know what a merman was? "Wait, did you say human? You're actually a human?! Or, well, part human?" Toad asked excitedly, to which Mario confirmed.

"So, uh, what exactly is this place?" Mario asked now that he finally had the chance. "The Mushroom Kingdom!" exclaimed Toad proudly.

Mario frowned in annoyance and mumbled that of course it was under his breath. Of course he'd end up in a kingdom named after and talk to a being that looked like the food he hated the most. Just his luck. But he couldn't waste time mulling over that.

He swam back to the edge of the lake and got Toad's attention, "By the way, I'm looking for someone. My brother, actually. He looks just like me, but taller and skinner. Oh, and green. Last I saw him, we were going through that pipe but he went through a foggier pipe with lava, I think?" Toad gasped at the last part and his eyes widened in horror, "That is not good. U-um. Your brother...has landed in the Darklands... They're under...Bowser's control.." the name was whispered, as if it was a cursed word that should not be spoken out loud. "Bowser? Who's that?" Mario asked, now even more worried. "He's the most evil, wretched creature alive! If your brother really ended up there, well I'm afraid it's too late for him.." Toad went on, giving Mario a sympathetic look.

Mario couldn't believe this and loudly objected at Toad's words, jumping out of the lake and splitting his tail into legs. He had to go find Luigi and save him before that Bowser guy found him first! Toad offered him to go see the princess of the kingdom, claiming she could help him as she could do anything imaginable. Mario accepted the offer, might as well get any help he could get in this strange world. He hastily put on his overalls and shoes before going after Toad and following him all the way to the princess' castle.

"Hang on Luigi"

---------

Luigi was shot out of his own pipe underwater, twirling about from the force and trying to regain his balance so he could move upright again. After doing so, he looked around him, clutching the bag with his plumbing tools tightly. The waters were very dark and oddly water, as if it was water in a pot being heated up by fire. He called out Mario's name, keeping his voice a bit more quiet since he wasn't sure if anything else was near him and he was too scared to find out.

He swam around cautiously, trying to find out where he even was and where his brother was. He didn't like how dark it was or that he was alone. He wanted Mario back, he'd know what to do, he would be able to get them home.

He saw something moving in the distance. Could it be Mario? It looked red but it seemed too small. Was it a fish? Was it friendly? Should he approach. He couldn't decide.

The creature ended up swimming too him which startled him into nearly fleeing but it didn't make any moves to attack. The fish, or what seemed to be a fish, just looked at him with its big eyes. The fish was round like a ball, had a red body with white fins that almost looked like wings and yellow, hair? Was that hair? It looked like it.

"U-uh, h-h-hello... Could you perhaps tell me where I am? I-I'm a bit lost..." Luigi asked the fish nervously but it didn't reply, only tilting itself a bit while still staring at him.

It snapped back to its original position a moment later and swam past him at full speed, startling him. He looked at where the fish went and wondered what had gotten into it. Did he something wrong? Did it grow scared of him? Nah, he couldn't even scare away a guppy if he wanted to.

He let out a sigh that was followed by a scream when another fish swam past him at full speed like the previous one. And then another. And then a few more. He turned to find a whole school swimming at him at top speed, a giant fishing net right behind them.

He let out a scream and started swimming with the strange fish as fast as he could, trying to escape the giant net closing in on him. He screamed even louder when he got caught by the net with most of the school that had been caught along with him. The net got raised out of the water and moved to the large boat it belonged to, stopping when it dangled above an open container. The owners of the boat were a group of tiny men in red cloaks ad wearing creepy masks. They made strange sounds as they talked to each other but Luigi was too frightened to try and understand what they were saying.

He let out a scream and held onto the net for dear like as the bottom of it opened and the fish fell in the container, flopping around in a desperate attempt to jump back in the water and flee. The tiny men finally noticed him and were shocked. They couldn't figure out what they were looking at. They didn't even know how they caught the thing! Was it a rare species that travelled all the way to their waters.

A small group of the tiny men rushed off and came back a minute later with a large tank of water, not too large but large enough to keep someone like Luigi inside. The one handling the net moved it over to be above the tank and another group with propellers on their heads flew up to Luigi. He shrunk back in fear at how close they got and pleaded with them to let him go back in the water, that he didn't mean to cause trouble. But his pleases fell on deaf ears as the men forced him to let go of the net and fall into the tank with a splash.

The top was sealed off the the boat started to move off, the tiny men celebrating their unique find and curiously inspecting him now that they could get up close.

Luigi curled up and hugged him, sinking to the bottom of the tank and dreading the fate that awaited him.

Did the best I could with this one, especially with Luigi's part. Hope you guys enjoyed!

Liliana

Second OC Villain for Luigi's harem. Meet Liliana!

She's the flower OC I was talking about in the poll and she's a water lily. Her body is made of the water of her lake and since she almost never goes out of the water, she doesn't create legs for herself.

I honestly love how I made her look like a nice, kind woman when in reality she's a total monster.

@billinshoes

Next up is the final OC and it will be the Dark Duke which I'm very excited about!

*Vibrates and eats this post like a maniac*

This is heaven. I have two bookshelves in my room and one is filled from top to bottom, hence why the second one exists.

Best part, my bestie and cousin are bookworms too and we borrow books from each other which makes it so much fun, it's amazing!!

Never in my life did I think I could relate to a post so dang much! Ahhh!!

Luigi the Bookworm 📚✨

Today, April 23rd, we celebrate Book Day in Spain with a beautiful tradition: gifting books and roses. In the past few months, I've started to see Luigi, my favorite Mario character, as a bookworm, thanks to some art pieces like this one, by Mikis_art94 on Instagram, and this one, a short comic by Sarahsketckesluigi, also on Instagram.

And, since I'm also a bookworm myself, I thought of celebrating this day by sharing with you my own take on Luigi's bookish side 🤭 Warning: this is gonna be LONG, so make sure to grab some drinks and snacks and make yourselves comfortable! 💖

(Also, I may go and turn some of these into actual fanfics at some point because, well... I got myself inspired 👀🤭✨)

You should go and check @itsavee4117's blog today! 🤭🤩 You may run into a very pleasant and literary surprise! 📚💖

@bberetd @vulpixfairy1985 @peaches2217 @nuctoria @keakruiser @kelbreyworshipper @pepperycar and anyone else who might be interested: I hope you enjoy! Happy Book Day! 📚🥀✨

Part 1: Luigi's Bookish Side

Luigi is a person who tends to get excited easily, and when he does, he experiences those feelings with great intensity. This applies to all aspects of his life, and reading, one of his greatest passions, is no exception.

In terms of genres, Luigi is generally open to read anything. He enjoys realistic novels, historical novels, classic novels, mystery novels, sci-fi novels... And he also reads books about gardening, cooking, baking and mechanics from time to time. The only things he’s unable to consume are thrillers and horror. He's tried, but, with all the times he's had to face King Boo, he's had more than enough terror and frights to last him a lifetime, thank you very much.

His favorite genres are fantasy and romance. The former, because traveling to made-up worlds allows him to forget about his real-life problems and offers him an escape from his daily life, which can often be exhausting. The second, because he’s a complete romantic who loves to see people loving each other and living happily ever after. And also... because of something that has to do with Daisy.

Luigi lives every book he reads with the same intensity. For him, it's as if the characters really existed, as if they were his friends, people he can talk to, share common interests with, and also help to achieve their purposes in life (i.e. in the books they’re from).

And maybe... just maybe... he's fallen in love more than once while reading and now he has a loooong list of literary crushes thet only keeps growing.

So, when he’s reading, Luigi laughs with the characters, cries when one of them suffers or dies, his heart tearing in his chest, and is deeply moved every time a tender moment occurs, such as a kiss, a hug or a cute scene involving, for example, a baby or an animal.

His favorite stories are those about siblings. Not only because he enjoys reading family stories, but also because, without even thinking about it, he often finds it easy to put himself in the place of the younger sibling. For him, therefore, it’s as if he were reading a story starring himself and his beloved brother Mario, and he loves to imagine that they’re going on adventures together in an unknown world. Almost like when they first arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Over the years, Luigi has gathered quite a collection of books, so Mario, the moment they move into the little house in the Mushroom Kingdom that Peach offered them, doesn't hesitate to suggest to his brother that he use the extra room to build himself a small library. Luigi is not too sure at first, thinking that maybe his brother would like to have an office, but Mario insists.

So Luigi has a small library in his new home, which he soon fills to the top with books, and it’s his pride and joy. He and Mario assembled the bookshelves together, which they brought all the way from Brooklyn, and now Luigi has a wonderful reading nook where he can isolate himself to let his imagination run wild for hours. It is, along with the bedroom he shares with Mario, his favorite room in the whole house.

For Luigi, reading is something so important, meaningful and almost sacred in his life, that he has a whole ritual that he performs every time he sits down to read. He has a rocking chair in his small library, a present from his brother when they moved to live in the Mushroom Kingdom, and he has it placed right next to the window and in front of the fireplace. He likes to be able to see the sky when he looks up from his reading, and he usually stares at the clouds or the stars while he daydreams about or reflects on what he has just read. During the summer, he usually keeps it open, as he loves to read in natural light while the gentle breeze from Peach's land cools him, and in winter he keeps it firmly closed while the fireplace warms him.

Luigi loves to light a scented candle to help him get in the perfect mood for reading. His favorite scent is vanilla, as it reminds him of his favorite princess, but he also loves lavender and cinnamon. He usually makes himself a hot drink, sometimes tea, sometimes chocolate, and brings a nice blanket to warm up, which is why his favorite time to read is the coldest time of the year, especially autumn. He also prepares his set of post-its to mark his favorite sentences and parts of the book, and he has a ritual for colors too: yellow for funny moments, blue for sentences that make him reflect on them, red or pink for romantic scenes…

Luigi knows that there are many people who write directly in their books, but, for him, that is unthinkable. He sees books as a valuable and precious object, a repository of stories that helps him disconnect from reality and let his imagination run wild. He respects what everyone does with their books, but he’s simply incapable. Especially if it’s a book he has been given as a gift.

His favorite copies are hardcover, even more so if they include a dust jacket. He treasures all his books with the same affection, but those are undoubtedly his weak point. The most precious of all is a hardcover, dust-jacketed edition of his favorite book, which was a present from Mario, and which also has painted edges.

Usually, when it's time to read, Mario is either napping, spending quality time with Peach, or doing something else around the house. Polterpup, on the other hand, takes the opportunity to approach his owner and, if it's summer, lie at his feet while he reads. If it's winter, however, Polterpup will jump into Luigi's lap without his permission and cuddle up and fall asleep immediately, before Luigi even has time to recover from the fright and resume reading. (Check out @pepperycar's funny addition to this!)

Luigi is a speed reader. Usually, when he starts reading, he doesn't intend to go too fast. It's just that, after so many years reading, his eyes have acquired an astonishing speed, and he’s able to retain every word in his head despite going through them very quickly. Also, if a book really hooks him, he’s unable to put it down until he finishes it, which has caused him to stay up late several nights and go to work half asleep the next day, but it's always totally worth it. Because of this ability, he can finish books of about 300-400 pages in just a few hours, and sometimes also 500 if he gets caught up completely.

Luigi LOVES to buy books. His favorite visits are to Sarasaland and the bookstore, and he also does a lot of online shopping to support small publishers. Every time a new book comes home, he gets excited as if it's the first time, and always asks Mario to please record him while he's unboxing it. Mario unhesitatingly stands on the other side of the camera and makes sure that every shot is perfect and that the book looks great, and Luigi, delighted and grateful, always gives him the tightest and most spontaneous hugs every time they finish filming.

And, of course, once he has the book in his hands, Luigi squeals and kicks, excited, as he waves it in the air like maracas before hugging it tightly to his chest. And, when the book is a present from someone dear to him, he acts exactly the same, only he ends up crying and thanking again and again the person who gave it to him while, again, he presses the book against himself as if his life depended on it.

Luigi is VERY much a fan of merchandising. He loves collecting bookmarks, he has such a huge collection that he's had to divide it into several drawers, and every time he’s going to start a new reading, he tends to spend more time deciding which bookmark will be the most suitable than choosing the book itself. He’s also bought a few literary stickers and some printed works of his favorite books, like fanarts of different scenes or characters illustrated by various artists, which he's hung on a corkboard. And, of course, since his books are the most precious thing he has, he’s also bought many literary covers from different small artists' stores, so that he can keep his books well protected when he carries them around.

Luigi is the kind of person who takes a book with him everywhere. A doctor's appointment? Book in backpack in case the wait gets longer. Public transport? He can't think of a better way to spend it than reading. He even takes them with him when he meets up with Mario, Peach and Toad, just in case his brother and the princess get lovey-dovey, and Toad falls asleep. And, if there's one thing Luigi likes better than sleeping in nature, it's reading in nature.

Part 2: The Reader Brother

Luigi has loved reading since he was very young. When he and Mario were babies, their parents used to tell them a bedtime story, sometimes Pio, sometimes Mia, and Luigi always listened very attentively. He would gawk listening to them and loved how they used to put voices and even recreate some scenes to make them laugh.

Mario also listened very interested, but being a more energetic baby, he used to fall asleep about halfway through the story, with his head resting on Luigi's shoulder and his arm firmly around his brother's waist. Their parents would drool, but they had to continue, for Luigi, even if he was struggling to keep his eyes open, wasn’t going to go to sleep without knowing the ending.

Only then, with a satisfied smile, he would hug his brother back, curl up next to him, close his eyes, and put his thumb in his mouth to get ready for sleep. By then, Mario was completely asleep, clinging to Luigi like a koala to a eucalyptus tree, and their parents had to make great efforts not to melt as they tucked them in and kissed them goodnight.

Since then, both brothers have grown up being great lovers of stories, only that, while Luigi loves books, Mario prefers to consume them in movies or video games. Even so, these are all hobbies that the brothers share, as they love to immerse themselves in a good story that helps them escape from reality for a while.

When Luigi gets emotional about a book he’s reading or has just read, Mario immediately comes to his side to hug and comfort him. He knows that, even if it's fiction, his brother has lived through it all in such a way that his feelings, of sadness, joy or emptiness at having finished a great story, are real and intense. And Mario would never judge him for it.

Luigi is deeply grateful not only that his brother comforts him, but that he listens to him talk endlessly about what has just happened in the book he’s reading, and even catches his emotions. Mario may not cry, but he feels his brother's sadness as if it were his own. Fortunately, the same thing happens when Luigi is happy or excited because of a book, and even on the few occasions when Luigi has gotten angry with a character, Mario has giggled under his breath before calming him down, because he finds it extremely tender.

Luigi usually goes to the bookstore at least once a week, and Mario, since they were teenagers, has almost always accompanied him. The only exceptions were when Mario was dating Pauline, and Luigi had no problem paying his weekly visit to the bookstore by himself, but, deep down, he missed Mario.

His brother also loves to accompany him, because, despite not being as much of a reader as Luigi, he enjoys watching him go back and forth from one shelf to another, pointing out the books he’s already read and the ones he wants to read. Also, when he gets the chance to buy a new one, Mario is amused to see Luigi picking up one book after another and trying to load them all and then deciding which one to take home.

Of course, Mario immediately offers to help him carry the books so that Luigi can keep picking up more if he wants to, and Luigi appreciates it from the bottom of his heart. And also that, again, Mario listens to him chatting incessantly about why each book has caught his attention and why he has such a hard time making up his mind.

Mario always tries to guide him in the best possible way: "What do you feel like reading more right now?" "Is it part of a series or is it a standalone?" "Is the sequel already out or would you have to wait?" "Did you like this or that author better?"

And Luigi thanks him deeply for his advice and questions because, that way, he manages to discern which book he really wants to buy that time.

The best way to surprise Luigi, the best birthday and Christmas present, will always be a book. Mario knows this, and that's why he doesn't hesitate to ask his brother to show him his long and endless lists of books he wants to purchase, as well as discreetly taking notes every time he goes to the bookstore with him. Luigi cherishes every book his brother has gifted him like the priceless treasures they are to him.

Sometimes Luigi runs into space problems. Even though his bookshelf is large and spacious, there’s a limit to everything. In those moments when he’s overwhelmed because he doesn't know where to place his new acquisitions, Mario always comes to the rescue: he immediately offers to hang a new shelf on the wall, or to look for another bookshelf to place in some free space in the room, or, directly, he stares at Luigi's shelf with a frown and his hand on his chin for a few moments, before taking the new books from his brother's arms and, displaying his skills playing Tetris, manages to find room to place them.

He loves to do it not only because he enjoys applying in real life what he has learned playing video games, but above all because of the relieved smile that blooms on Luigi's lips when he sees that Mario has found the perfect solution.

Luigi loves going to literary events where he can meet his favorite authors and have his books signed, but he tends to get so nervous that he always gets stuck for words and sweats a lot, which embarrasses him deeply.

The first time, in fact, Luigi was so shocked to have his favorite author in front of him that he fainted. When he woke up in the ambulance, he was so embarrassed that nothing Mario, who, of course, always accompanies him, said succeeded in comforting him.

He only calmed down a bit at home, when, alone with Mario, he began to silently cry without even realizing it, and his brother, not uttering a word, sat down in front of him, worried, and wrapped him gently in his arms. He pressed the back of Luigi's neck softly to make him rest his head on his shoulder and stroked his back gently, his heart aching at each new sob that escaped his brother's throat.

It took him many, many years to convince Luigi to go to an event again, for Luigi feared the same thing would happen to him again. He didn't want to make a fool of himself like that ever again, especially not in front of writers he deeply admires.

So Mario decided that they would practice: he dressed as much as he could like Luigi's favorite author, watched as many videos as he could on the internet to soak up his personality and find out what kind of books they wrote, and pretended to be them again and again, relentlessly, until Luigi, little by little, managed to exchange a few words with him.

It took them many attempts, because, despite knowing it was his brother, Luigi had no trouble getting into the situation due to his overflowing imagination. Mario had to step out of character several times to try to calm him down and help him regulate his breathing.

Luckily, thanks to Mario's efforts, eventually it worked, and Luigi, a few years later, found himself back at an event and able to chat for a few minutes with the writers he read, even though his heart was beating frantically in his chest and excitement was flooding his insides.

He will never be able to thank his brother for his infinite patience, but Mario always plays it down tenderly. He keeps assuring him that it was not patience, but his deep and sincere love for his younger brother and his eagerness to help him fulfill his wishes.

Part 3: Royalty + Luaisy

Ever since the brothers met Princess Peach, she and Luigi have been, little by little, building up a beautiful friendship that grows every day, just like the sweet romantic relationship between her and Mario.

It didn't take long for Peach to discover Luigi's bookish side, and it made her eager and excited, as she has always enjoyed reading and loves to comment on the books she reads in great detail.

So she didn't hesitate to take Luigi to the huge library of her castle, and she smiled, touched, as she saw the amazement with which Luigi observed its towering shelves, turning on himself in the center of the room as he tried to take it all in.

Since then, Peach and Luigi have become reading buddies. The two of them love to immerse themselves in a good story, read together in the castle library while comfortably sipping tea and, of course, comment on what they have just read and exchange views. Luigi even ends up causing Peach to also take a liking to collecting bookmarks and literary merchandising.

They often do joint readings: they discover a book they both feel like reading and set a series of goals to try to read it at the same pace, so they can discuss it as they go along. Sometimes, however, Luigi discovers that Peach hasn't read one of his favorite books, so he doesn't hesitate to read it with her so he can see her reactions, and vice versa. They love to share their anger, their cries and their joys, for it fills their hearts with bliss and emotion that they have someone by their side who understands perfectly well what they’re feeling and why.

They enjoy hearing what this or that scene has made the other feel, or what they think of this or that character, because it helps them to see things from a point of view that, perhaps, they had not considered before. Reading enriches them, but their literary conversations enrich them even more.

And Mario, of course, is delighted that the two most important people in his life have forged such a strong, deep bond and spend so much quality time together, sharing one of their greatest passions. Often, unbeknownst to them, he stands watching them as they read in the library and gets a silly grin on his face when he sees them laughing together after chatting a bit about their readings.

When it comes to Prince Peasley, on the other hand, Luigi is the one who watches him while smiling, mesmerized, as the prince, always so elegant and sophisticated, has an exquisite oratory and knows how to strike the perfect tone every time a character intervenes, and also to confer the right emotion when it comes to the narrator. And Luigi, besides staring at him, enraptured by the fabulousness of his figure, also listens to him spellbound. He would almost say that he enjoys reading more when his beloved prince is the one who narrates, and plays, the stories.

Princess Daisy, due to her energetic nature, is not much prone to reading. She prefers more dynamic activities where she can unleash not only her endless energy, but also her competitive side. Even so, she knows and respects the value of books, having grown up well aware of their importance in safeguarding and protecting the history of her kingdom.

But when she meets Luigi, she begins to show a slight interest in reading, something that at first was only born so that she could have something to talk to him about. Fortunately, Luigi, despite his initial shyness, doesn't need more than a mention of literature to start talking nonstop about his favorite stories and how much they make him feel. And Daisy, not even realizing it, finds herself listening to him entranced, very attentive to his every word and genuinely understanding why there are people, like Luigi, who find reading so exciting.

Over time, she starts asking him for book recommendations, which he happily obliges, and Daisy discovers that she actually enjoys reading, especially stories with tons of action. Still, what she likes the most about this is Luigi's thrilled and moved expression when he finds out she's actually listened to him, read the book he recommended and, therefore, now they can fangirl together. She falls even harder for him because of the cute little face he makes.

Sensing that her interest in him is growing and that it may be mutual, Daisy decides to invite Luigi to Sarasaland Castle to show him her library. At first she doesn't tell him what she has invited him for, which makes Luigi VERY nervous, as he doesn't know if this is a date or not. She playfully takes him by the hands, leads him to the library doors and asks him to close his eyes. Luigi hesitates a little, unsure, but ends up obeying so as not to disappoint her.

Daisy then opens the library and guides Luigi carefully inside. He almost trips, which makes her laugh, causing him, in turn, to relax a bit. And when she finally tells him to open his eyes, Luigi gasps and his jaw drops, his heart pounding in his chest, not only because that library is even a bit larger than Peach's, but also because, slowly, his mind understands and assimilates that Daisy had prepared this to surprise him.

And even though he’s fascinated by all the books before him, he ends up, without realizing it, looking at Daisy, with a blushing smile on his flushed face and his hands over his heart, while she explains to him that all those volumes belonged to his ancestors and that he has her permission to come whenever he wants to get them. "They're yours!" she says at last, turning to him, and Luigi's heart grows larger at the offer, causing a tear to escape his eyes as the princess, full of tenderness, smiles at him.

Over the next few days, Luigi goes to the library, encouraged by Daisy, who insists again and again that he come to Sarasaland. Her library has a huge ladder to reach the highest shelves, and Daisy uses it without a second thought to glide across the room, to the terrified gaze of Luigi, who dares not even climb the first rung.

As soon as she notices this, Daisy gets down, walks over to Luigi and takes him by the hand to guide him to the ladder. He almost cringes when she places his hand on the wood and freezes when Daisy encourages him to climb up. "It's completely safe!" she assures him. "And, besides, I'll be right here. You can hold my hand as you climb up. I promise I won't slide you down too fast the first time!"

Very slowly and clinging to Daisy's hand, Luigi climbs up the steps. She doesn't let go and keeps repeating phrases to encourage him, which makes Luigi feel almost as safe as when he is with Mario, though in a different way. Once he reaches the top of the first shelf, however, Luigi is unable to climb any higher, so Daisy doesn't pressure him any further. She gently grasps the lower end of the ladder and, after warning him, moves it a little, very slowly as she promised, to make him feel secure.

The next day, however, Daisy goes up right after Luigi and, leaning into the next bookshelf, pushes as hard as she can to propel the ladder to the opposite side at breakneck speed. Her laughter mingles with Luigi’s screams, but however, once they stop, he discovers that, despite his initial panic, he’s had fun with what Daisy has just done.

This then becomes a regular occurrence between them, until it gets to the point where Luigi feels comfortable and confident enough to climb the ladder by himself and propel himself across the library in true “Beauty and the Beast” style.

In the kingdom of Sarasaland there’s a tradition to honor books, as they’re not only a source of entertainment, but also the sacred objects that preserve their history. Daisy has grown up with these values and does not hesitate to tell Luigi about this tradition soon after they start dating.

On Book Day, it is customary for the man to give the woman a rose and the woman to give the man a book. This originated many centuries ago, before everything related to gender and relationships evolved, so nowadays, simply put, the members of a romantic relationship give each other both a book and a rose.

Luigi shows up in Sarasaland on the appointed date very nervously, dressed in a smart green suit, his favorite color, and carrying a wrapped book for Daisy, as well as a purple rose, very rare and hard to come by, which he has grown himself in his garden with Peach's help. Daisy greets him in a lovely purple dress, with a vaporous skirt, matching elbow-length gloves and her delicate shoulders bare. She holds out her gift to him almost before he reaches the castle gates and can recover from the amazement of seeing her so dazzling and beautiful.

He’s delighted when, upon opening it, he discovers that it is one of those special editions he’s been looking for for so long. Only Mario knew he wanted it, so he understands, without needing Daisy to tell him, that his brother has given his girlfriend a hand to surprise him. And that makes his heart fill with love and his eyes with tears, and the book even more precious to him.

Daisy excitedly opens her present and, to Luigi's surprise, squeals when she discovers that he’s gifted her a fantasy adventure novel that caught her eye when he first took her to his favorite Brooklyn bookstore. Daisy drags him into the library, invites him to sit down with some drinks (tea for him, a smoothie for her), and asks him to please start reading.

And so they spend their first Book Day together: settled on Daisy's fluffy library couch, she sat on his lap, the skirt of her purple dress spread over his legs, almost hiding them, and her arms around his neck, depositing light kisses here and there as he struggles to read aloud the book he’s just given her. This was the first time they gave each other a book, but of course it would not be the last, as reading together, visiting the Brooklyn bookstore and Sarasaland and Mushroom Kingdom libraries, and continuing to celebrate Book Day would soon become habit for them.

Daisy often stares at Luigi as he reads, amused by his reactions and the faces he makes, and, when their relationship is more established, she has no qualms about peeping over his shoulder. And Luigi, far from getting angry, what he did the first time and has continued to do ever since is to read aloud, so that she also finds herself immersed in the story without realizing it. (This may sound familiar!)

But what Luigi enjoys the most is that Daisy, whenever the characters in the book share some intimate gesture, instantly replicates it with him. If they hold hands, Daisy immediately reaches for Luigi's hand. If there’s a hug, Daisy wraps her arms around Luigi and holds him tightly, which leaves him breathless, but also makes him laugh and fills his heart with tenderness.

And, of course, if there are kisses, Daisy won't hesitate to start showering Luigi with them. First on his hand, on the tips of his fingers and on his palm. Then on the forehead, with a delicacy that always melts Luigi. His cheeks color every time Daisy places her lips on them, but what drives him absolutely crazy is when she seeks his mouth. It's the only thing that makes him put down the book and postpone reading for another time. (Check out @bberetd's wonderful art for this!)

Often, before they fall asleep, Daisy cuddles up to Luigi in bed, wearing his green shirt, and buries her face in the crook of his neck. Luigi absentmindedly begins to fiddle with her hair, delighted to have her so close, and, with his other hand, reaches for his book to read aloud a few more pages before they fall asleep. It's part of their routine and they both love sharing stories that way.

Part 4: The gang

The visit to the bookstore and libraries has now become a regular occurrence for everyone. As soon as he started talking about books with Peach and she showed him her library, Luigi immediately invited her to come with him and Mario the next time they went to their regular Brooklyn bookstore, and she gladly accepted.

On that first visit by the princess, Peach was as thrilled as Luigi and the two of them went back and forth in the bookstore, she eagerly looking at everything, he endlessly talking about the store and the many books he’s bought there. Soon they found themselves going often to acquire new books, not without first spending a good while in the place accumulating stories in their arms to, again, decide in the end.

Again Luigi was looking for Mario, who, unconsciously, had been staring at them with an amused smile and his eyes full of affection. Blushing, Mario would hurry to come to his side to help him, and Luigi, even though he’d caught him gazing at the princess in rapt attention, wouldn’t comment anything so as not to make him uncomfortable or put any pressure on him.

Many times, however, Peach would intervene and take two of the books Luigi had chosen. That's how she also started giving him books as presents, and Luigi couldn't be more grateful that his beloved friend pampers him that way. Her gesture makes her even more attractive and sweet in the eyes of Mario, who melts at seeing her displaying such adoration towards his beloved little brother.

Daisy, always eager to learn more about the place where her dearest hero in green grew up, also joins in, but, to her surprise, she finds herself next to Mario, fondly watching Peach and Luigi, especially the latter. They, however, are so excited talking about books that they never notice the goofy smiles with which Daisy and Mario look at them, delighted to see their two favorite people indulging in their greatest passion.

Despite this, both Mario and Daisy make sure to pay attention to the books that Luigi and Peach point out with the intention of acquiring them in the future, and then make plans with each other to decide which ones to give them on future birthdays, Christmases and, of course, regular days. Any time is a good time to surprise their favorite people with a new literary gift.

Sometimes, on their dates, Luigi and Daisy also go to the bookstore, and she, as always, listens to him talk very attentively. When it comes to advising him on which book to acquire, however, she’s much more practical: she thinks Luigi should pick the book he wants to read the most… or the one with the most romance in it.

And Luigi blushes violently because he perfectly understands the implications of such a suggestion.

Literary events also end up being a regular thing they all do together. Luigi, thanks to Mario, already manages to control his nerves and chat a bit with the authors when they sign his books. Peach, of course, is all sweetness and always tells them how much their stories have made her feel and dream. Mario just smiles and listens, delighted to be able to accompany them and to see them enjoying themselves so much, right up their alley. He always takes pictures of them with the authors, both together and separately, something he already did when it was just him and Luigi.

Daisy, on the other hand, is so spontaneous and genuine that she doesn't hold back when it comes to treating the writers with too much familiarity, which only embarrasses the others, especially Luigi. If it's the author of a romance book, Daisy doesn't hesitate to cheerfully tell them how much she and her boyfriend enjoyed the sensual and intimate scenes, or that she lost count of how many times she kissed her sweetie during the reading because of the sheer number of times the characters kissed.

In those moments, Luigi can only think of crawling under a rock. He has to resort to all the training with Mario to manage to keep his composure and not faint again or run away to hide so no one sees him turning red as a tomato.

However, then Daisy intertwines her arm with his and kisses him on the cheek, and he feels that his blush, this time, is due to being close to her and to her tokens of affection. After all, Luigi adores everything about his princess, all her sides and her personality, and besides, to other authors, fortunately, Daisy tells them how much fun she and her boyfriend had with their novel, and Luigi can only adore her.

At these events, both Mario and Daisy go out of their way to get lots of bookmarks and merch for Luigi and Peach, as they know they both love to collect stuff related to their favorite books. And also, again, they take mental notes of all the books they can buy as future presents for them.

From time to time, Toad and Peasley also join in on their visits to the bookstore, libraries or events. Toad is a big fan of fantasy and adventure comics, as they nurture his enthusiastic and adventurous spirit, and Peasley loves to talk endlessly with his favorite authors about the various subjects they cover in their books, thus unconsciously displaying, once again, his impeccable eloquence.

Luigi’s villain’s harem…but but…

*scoots forward*

They survive the aftermath of the games, and was found by weegee.

*Scoots up close and personal* you follow @lizadale and @ionlydatesassyelves too I see.

Bowser: he only needs some medical care and he's off to another scheme again. Nobody can stop this man but he will put some safety measures when Luigi tags along or is his turn to go through his mess. The day Bowser quits is the day either Bowser Jr is old enough or he retires and the Mario games end.

King Boo: E-Gadd gave King Boo to Luigi after he was nearly threatened by Mario and Peach cause they ain't gonna risk another escape and potentially an even more ghost hunt that could lead to someone's death. King Boo is outraged and spends every second of the day trying to free himself and make Luigi's daily life a living hell full of fear. Luigi is terrified to have him so close, despite his prison, hardly sleeping the first weeks to make sure he didn't break free in the middle of the night and did something horrible. After those weeks were up, he got sick of King Boo's constant attempts to scare him and snapped back, sort of. It still surprised King Boo to see this scaredy cat actually having a backbone and teased him to get more of that sass from him, finding it amusing. Luigi played along, oblivious for awhile, until he saw how the boo was laughing at him. They unconsciously started to bond, Luigi asking to know more about boos and King Boo noticing small things about Luigi that he asked about, such us why he liked that certain type of tea or why he paces so much. His interactions with Polterpup were amusing too. This continued all the way up to King Boo's next escape.

Antasma: it's rehabilitation for him. Luigi took him in after seeing how weak he was and he couldn't bare to leave him like this when there was a risk of him dying. Plus, he felt bad, thinking he and his brother were the reason he exploded back when they battled. Antasma was having none of it and often trying to attack Luigi but was too weak and starving to do actual damage, hissing when Luigi dared to come close. Luigi started with leaving different foods in a room he didn't use often and let Antasma do as he pleased, checking up on him every few hours to make sure he was still alive. Antasma mostly slept to not loose his energy but he found it weird how Luigi never locked the door, instead keeping it open, when he slept. It was as if he was letting Antasma feed off of him. He still fed on his dreams but he was too curious about the plumbers nature to actually do any harm or evil. He started letting Luigi stay in the room he was recovering in and made small conversation with him. He did think of leaving and going back to Pi'illo Island for revenge but he always held back, knowing that if he did so he'd loose the peaceful life he had now with Luigi and it felt worse than admitting defeat, so he stayed and lived in solitude with his green savior.

Dimentio: unlike Liza's Dimentio, the one I'm thinking just snuck in the damn house and threatened Luigi to keep quiet and help him recover, which worked given the things he put Luigi and Mr L in. It. Was. Hell. for our Man in Green, but he couldn't risk disobedience, not with his and his loved ones' lives on the line at the hands of this demented jester. He just hoped he could find a way to prevent any more catastrophes before it was too late now that he could monitor Dimentio more carefully.

If there is one skill of Luigi that I think almost all of us forget.

He can sleep too easily.

I wish I had that skill.

I mean, given how he's kept up all night on most occasions due to ghosts, he needs those power naps.
