More about that plotbunny of Bowser hiring Luigi as a dealer for one of his casinos.

(Disclaimer: lots and lots of artistic liberties about how casinos and card games work, this is Mario world after all)

At first, Bowser doesn't want to hire Luigi. At. ALL. If it was just up to him, he would just punt the nerd back to Mushroom Kingdom.

But as Kamek points out, not only did he give his word, but if he fires someone just for being good for the job they're applying for, what kind of message is it sending ? If there is one reason Bowser's kingdom is running smoothly despite the regular beatings the kings gets from a pair of silly plumbers, it's the good work relationship between Bowser and his troops : he's a demanding boss, but not an unfair one.

Plus, it's bad enough he fails regularly his world invasions, but hey, world conquest is a hard job, so that's forgivable. But being a sore loser at a card games ?? That's not a good look for Bowser.

So fine. Green Mario is hired in a big show of pretending to acknowledge his enemy's skills. At least Bowser will be able to pretend he's bossing around the actual Mario for a while.

Doesn't mean he can't get his revenge otherwise.

Yes, he can't fire Luigi...but if Luigi is too weak to hold under pressure and quit, that's not on Bowser, is it ?

So Bowser nonchalantly orders the casino manager to make sure the new hire knows what he's in for. Or in other words, push him so hard he quits on his own.

At first Luigi is just put on slot machine filling duty; a boring, tedious job with a lot of noises and loud clients everywhere. Luigi bears it ; he's done that gig before and he's seen much worse as a full time plumber. And while he's doing that job, he befriends several of the maintenant workers, who for the most part are kinda curious about what a human (and a Mario Brother, no less) is doing here.

He's also very, very clumsy. To the point the manager starts to wonder how this is the same guy who beat Bowser at poker. And you know what, he's curious. Screw what Bowser said, until the king butted his head in the job interview, the human had an interesting resume and the manager is not losing more money, he wants to know what the new guy can actually do.

He puts Luigi at one of the tables as his last chance. Either he makes money, or he's out.

And Luigi makes money.

A.

Lot.

Of money.

Bowser visits the casino around about that time, already gloating inside : surely by now that wimp has run back to Mario crying, right ?

Instead he sees Luigi at one of the main Picture Poker tables, charming up the players (and it's something Bowser never expected to see, Luigi being confident and charming -wait why is he finding him charming ??) and large piles of coins piling up on his table.

Turns out, when your casino's style is mostly built around reminding players how tough and impossible to beat you are, a friendly and innocent-looking dealer who encourages you with dorky catchphrases and a cute little laugh is a BIG draw for players who think they still have a chance.

Bowser is FURIOUS (and just slightly horny). But he still can't fire Luigi; not only is he good at his job, but by now word has spread of how Luigi has been hired in the first place, making it very hard to not look like he's a sore loser who can't even win a card came against the "weaker" Mario Brother.

Brother who has the GALL to offer him to play at his table. And smiling on top of that!! That cheeky little thing !!

On his way out, Bowser grabs the manager by the collar : next time he's back, Luigi better has walked out on his own.

The manager appreciates Luigi's work, but he's not putting his job on the line for the new guy. But he's here to make money, and now he's decided to squeeze Luigi out of every coin the human can bring to the casino.

He increases his hours, raises the amount of money he's supposed to make every night, gives him back-to-back shifts, sends the most agressive players to his table (although the bouncers step in if things get too heated).

Usually a dealer is just here to deal, keep count, welcome players, announce hands, that sort of thing. But in Darklands casinos, there are special tables where you can play against the dealer, either on one-on-one or as a normal table; the games there are very high-stake, in an all-or-nothing fashion : you win against the casino, you earn a LOT.

It's the toughest job of the casino : not only the dealer is both player and house, but given these are high stakes games, you can't just put a newbie in charge there. You need a shark, a cold-blooded, lucky son of a bitch who can handle pressure.

The manager sends Luigi there : "you screw up, you're out". Piling up more and more pressure on the poor human's shoulders. As for the other dealers, they feel sorry for the new guy but they certainly won't stick out their necks for him.

But despite the stress and hostile conditions, Luigi isn't Mario's brother for nothing : despite his meek, non confrontational personality, Luigi can be extremely stubborn. He doesn't want to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing him quit and so he holds on.

Thankfully, he's got unexpected allies on his side : the maintenance/cleaning crew he's befriended before are outraged at the treatment and decide to help him out. Sneaking him treats and drinks on long night, disturbing games so he's got an easier time winning, arranging tables and chairs to make the other tables less attractive, hiding stuff around. Of course the other dealers notice and some of them are furious...but some start to realise that if Luigi is expected to hold up such high standards, what if these standards become the norm ? And they realise they really don't want such workplace conditions.

Things are getting out off hand. Revolt is brewing in the casino. Bowser gets winds of it and is tempted to close everything on a whim, but Kamek steps in yelling about the revenues the casino makes and how Bowser should get the situation back under control.

Screaming won't solve things, as the entire crew is one bad word away from quitting or going on strike. And he's not going to negotiate with Luigi!

Kamek : "Sir, either fire him or get revenge on him but DO SOMETHING ! He's the mastermind behind this conspiracy!

(He's really not.)

...fine, Bowser decides, he's going to negotiate with Luigi.

Who still doesn't want to quit.

But offers Bowser a deal :

One game a night, until they go through all the casino games. They count each victory and once the total is done, if Bowser has more points, Luigi walks out. If Luigi has more, he gets back a normal work schedule and he can finally focus on his damn job.

It's a stupid wager. It's ridiculous. It's outrageous. Insulting, even.

And Bowser still takes the wager.

Because he finally picks up on something: for some reason, even after everything, Luigi wants to play against him.

You can guess where this goes.

[futureman]

dating start!

pairing: josh futturman x reader

summary: your first date with josh is likely the best you've ever been on, but you're pretty sure he has no clue it's valentine's day (based on a prompt from this list)

warnings: fluff, dick mentions everywhere, making out in public

word count: 1.7k

(ily @tinycozycomfort, ty for enabling me always)

It's ridiculously cute how oblivious Josh is.

The sun's already starting to set, and you've passed about a dozen storefronts and restaurants plastered with paper hearts, yet you're almost positive he still has no idea what day it is. In his defense, this is probably the best date you've ever been on—you just didn't expect him to take you out for the first time on Valentine's Day.

You wonder when it'll finally hit him. If the gaudy decorations and love-struck couples everywhere haven't tipped him off by now, you're not sure he'll ever figure out. Are you perfectly capable of telling him yourself? For sure, but the last thing you want to do is freak him out or embarrass him.

Things are already comfortable between you, surprisingly so, and you'd rather not rock the boat. Not yet, at least. Besides, you're right in the middle of an important debate that could make or break your budding relationship, and you're totally winning.

"—in conclusion, it's physically impossible for Luigi to have a bigger dick than Mario. I rest my case."

Josh scoffs, shooting you a dubious look from his spot on the grass. Okay, maybe you're not winning. He takes a deep breath, shifting closer, and now you know you're in for it.

"There's no way. Have you ever seen Luigi in Smash? Super Mario Wonder? That thing flops all over the place, it's huge. You can barely even see Mario's crotch half the time, he's too close to the ground," he argues, eyebrows raised like he's already planning his next rebuttal. You raise an eyebrow in return.

"Wow. So, you're saying his dick has to be small because he's short?" you give him a pointed look. You're teasing him, rather than trying to make a point, and you both know it.

He flushes a pretty pink, and you can see the cogs turning in his head. Part of you hopes he takes the bait and flirts back, but he doesn't—at first.

"Okay no, you're literally putting words in my mouth. I'm just saying, logically speaking, the height-to-dick ratio doesn't add up. Plus, I gave you actual proof. Your entire argument was based on vibes," he laughs, and he's so endearing with his crinkled, hazel eyes and red-tinged ears that you almost concede. 

But before you get the chance, his arms snake around your waist and drag you down next to him. The grass is cold and a little dewy from the mid-winter Los Angeles air, but you barely notice, distracted by how close his face suddenly is to yours. 

At this proximity, you can count the faint freckles peppered across his nose and cheeks, and his lips quirk as if he can tell that's exactly what you're doing. His eyes drop to your mouth, and after a lingering moment, you realize he's leaning closer.

"You make a good point, though," he says unexpectedly. You struggle to remember what you were talking about in the first place, but he's quick to remind you. "I do know a pretty cool guy who's 5'5 and has a massive dick. So, maybe you were right after all."

"Oh yeah? Sounds like a winner—total Mario vibes," you reply cheekily, loving the turn this debate is taking. Perhaps a little too much. "Maybe I should've let that guy take me out on Valentine's Day instead."

It slips out before you can stop it, and for a second, his face goes blank. Then, he panics.

"Oh, shit." Josh jolts up, frantically scanning the park like he's just noticing that there's red and pink and couples on romantic picnics all around you. His shoulders droop in defeat. "Well, that's embarrassing," he mumbles. 

Crap. This is exactly what you were trying to avoid all day. It had to come out at some point, sure, but you didn't mean for it to come out like that. You reach up to tug at his green flannel and pull him back down to lie with you on the grass.

"Why is it embarrassing?" you ask carefully, resting a comforting hand on his chest. He sighs.

"I would've done so much more if I'd known. I should've brought you flowers or chocolate—and chocolate, I should've done both," he says, sounding unfairly frustrated with himself. "I'm such an asshole. Who the fuck just forgets Valentine's Day?"

You, for starters. This is probably the first time in years you remembered what happens on February 14th, and that was just a fluke. It's just a day, one you're thoroughly enjoying not because it's some random holiday with way too many connotations, but because you get to spend it with him. 

"Hey. You're not an asshole," you reassure him, cupping his cheek to snap him out of his spiral. He leans into your touch, finally meeting your eyes. "You didn't have to do any of that. I'm allergic to flowers and I'm not a huge fan of chocolate anyways, so that actually kind of makes you a hero. Major Mario vibes."

That makes him chuckle, and you laugh along with him. Thankfully, he looks as relieved as you feel. Taking that as the go-ahead to continue what he started earlier, you scooch closer.

"What if we just ignore what day it is and you can keep telling me all about that cool guy with the massive dick? I think he might honestly be my ticket to winning our debate," you joke, draping an arm over his shoulder. 

You're face-to-face, all but pressed up against each other in the middle of a public park, but neither of you seems to care. Josh's eyes dart to your lips, and he nods, grinning as he leans in.

"Well, he has unclogged a toilet or two in his day, so he's basically a plumber. And princesses love him,” he says, teasing you, and you huff out a laugh.

"You are so fucking cheesy—"

He cuts you off with a kiss. Warm and a little chapped, his lips move slowly against yours as you both savor the moment you've been waiting for all day. It doesn't matter that it's Valentine's Day or that this is your first date. What matters is that it feels natural and comfortable, even in its newness. In your experience, that's pretty rare.

His fingers splay across your ribcage, and you sigh softly into his mouth as he pulls you flush against his body. It's so easy to forget where you are, lost in the increasing intensity of the kiss and his hands freely roaming your sides. 

Before things can get too PG-13 for the park, you reluctantly pull away, opening your eyes to see him already smiling at you in contentment. 

"Maybe we should go back to my place," you grin sheepishly, and the look he gives you is nothing short of suggestive. You roll your eyes. "Not like that."

He raises an eyebrow, looking doubtful. "You sure this isn't just a ploy to verify the dick thing?"

You playfully shove his shoulder, but he retaliates by kissing you again.

"Josh, focus," you laugh, muffled by his lips. Jerking back, you attempt to recapture his attention while he tries and fails to chase you. "No, this isn't some elaborate ruse to get your pants off." 

You don't bother mentioning that it's supposed to be his friend's dick, not his, but it's not like either of you are pretending you don't know exactly whose dick you're talking about. Plus, you already got your proof earlier when he kissed you. There's a reason you had to cut it short.

"It's just getting kind of late, and we probably won't find a place to eat around here that isn't already booked for the night," you tell him. At that, he looks a little downtrodden, clearly blaming himself for not making a reservation. "But—," you continue, hoping to cheer him up, "—I happen to make a mean spaghetti and meatballs, and Italian feels like it fits the vibe of this date."

His eyes light up, and you immediately know it was the perfect thing to say. This time when his lips meet yours, you melt into it, letting him bury his fingers in your hair as the kiss deepens. He coaxes your mouth open, and it becomes a sweet give-and-take that makes your head spin.

It ends way too quickly, but you can't find it in yourself to be disappointed when he pulls away. Not when he's looking at you like he can't believe you're real and in his arms right now.

"How the hell did I manage to get a date with you?" he asks earnestly. You shrug, burrowing further into his chest.

"I find your lack of temporal awareness and shitty takes on video game characters to be utterly charming," you reply with a straight face. 

For a second, he looks stunned by your answer. Then, you both burst out laughing, and you're struck again by how easy it is to be with him. You've been on this date for almost six hours and still haven't run out of things to talk about. 

It's the best date you've ever been on by far and might even be the best Valentine's Day you've ever had. You already know you're going to ask for a second one once it's over, but the night's still young. And you have a debate to win. 

"Come on," you say, hit with a sudden burst of energy. You shift out of his grasp to stand, then hold out your hands to help him up. "I have a serious craving for spaghetti, and I'm so ready for you to officially concede defeat."

"Oh yeah? And why would I do that?" he raises an eyebrow, lacing his fingers through yours as you lead him in the direction of your apartment.

"Because I know for a fact you're concealing evidence and I'm gonna prove it."

thanks for reading!

It's important to me that both Bowser and Luigi are idiots.

They're both good at what they do because they've had practice. Luigi knows his way around a pipe system because he's a plumber, and knows how to fight and survive because his secondary job is adventurer. Bowser is good at leading an army and surprise hostile takeovers because that's what he spends most of his time doing. The only reason Luigi is more emotionally intelligent than Bowser is because he's spent more time interacting with peers.

On the other hand, Bowser has a fifty-fifty chance at any given time to remember what can and can't survive being dunked in lava. Luigi can't hold a conversation about literature to save himself. Bowser has been fooled by at least three different people pretending to be Peach, despite pretty obvious physical differences, and the only reason Luigi has only been fooled twice is because he was the third one. Bowser somehow hasn't yet learnt that sentient evil artefacts will inevitably try to possess him, while Luigi still isn't suspicious of surprise invitations to remote manors.

They're idiots and that makes them so fun to write.

[peaches2217]

It's not unusual for Peasley to host extravagant parties. He's a people person, a Bean's Bean, and a skilled politician to boot. Parties are as much an excuse to mingle and have fun as they are an opportunity to strengthen bonds with nobles and the common people alike. Admittedly, Luigi's fascinated by his methodical approach to an activity typically considered gratuitous. It's a lot like Peasley himself: at first glance garish and full of himself, but shockingly thoughtful beneath the surface.

Some months into their courtship, Peasley invites him to his latest party at the capitol. In a first, it's a themed party; all guests are encouraged to dress in the fashions of the Metro Kingdom.

"I've always found it so charming," Peasley reasons, "all the colorful suits and elegant dresses!" And Luigi can't help but agree; from what Mario has described to him, a classy evening in the heart of the Metro Kingdom looks a lot like a high school prom in Brooklyn. (Or so they would presume. They didn't go to their senior prom. Long story.)

With no shortage of encouragement from his brother, Luigi gets himself a veridian suit, spends the day prior to the event in total isolation so he's got enough energy to survive the night, and then charges in head-first.

Peasley greets him outside of the hall where the excitement is being contained, and phew, he looks good. His gold hair is tied back for once, a thin braid running through it just above where his left ear would be if he actually had ears, and he's wearing a white suit that's equal parts tacky and enchanting, his rapier fastened to his right hip as usual. Luigi feels kinda woozy just looking at him.

He clings to Peasley's arm (or at least makes his best attempt to, being nearly a full foot taller than him) as he's led into the thick of the gathering. He expects Peasley to acquaint him with a few people, make sure he's comfortable enough to hold his own, and then split for short bursts of time to tend to his own royal matters.

Except he doesn't. Not once, not the entire night.

He proudly shows Luigi off to what must be every last guest in attendance, sparing no opportunity to divulge great detail about his heroic exploits (they mostly involve ghosts, because everyone already knows about the Cackletta incident), his great works of philanthropy (helping Toads repair pipes, fix roofs, and other assorted physical tasks in his free time), his unparalleled ability to coax life from unassuming seeds, filling entire gardens with color and cheer (he has successfully grown one (1) rose in his entire life, and he only managed because Peasley walked him through every step of the process).

Just listening — heck, just watching, seeing how proud Peasley looks to have Luigi on his arm, how he lights up at every chance to talk about him, how his name passes his lips with such reverence  — you'd think Luigi was the Crown Prince and Peasley was his unassuming date.

When he's not waxing lyrical about Luigi, he's feeding him tiny squares of cake (raspberry vanilla — his favorite!) or pouring another serving of punch into a champagne glass for him (coconut cream — also his favorite! That's lucky!); if he's not doing that, then he's pulling him into the middle of the room and sweeping him into graceful waltzes, the sort Luigi can only keep up with because 1) waltzes are all-in-all simple and predictable and 2.) Peach was insistent on teaching him the ins and outs of ballroom dancing just last week. All eyes are on them, and yeah, it's pretty overwhelming, but Peasley's just so happy that it's easy to get lost in the music with him.

But Luigi can only handle so much social interaction, and as soon as he starts focusing too hard on his hands and clicking his tongue in the back of his throat over and over, Peasley whisks him away to a private balcony for some fresh air.

"So?" he asks as Luigi decompresses from all the socialization. "Have you enjoyed your evening, my dear?"

Now that he's not surrounded by so much stimuli, Luigi can honestly say that yeah, he has! In spite of being the center of attention for most of it, he's never been able to enjoy himself at a party so much as he's enjoyed himself tonight. And now that he's away from it all, now that the music and the laughter are muffled someplace behind them and they're finally alone in the gentle night breeze, he's able to appreciate that in full.

And he's also able to think a little more clearly. This whole thing seems... off. Not unpleasantly so, but there's something going on, something beyond the straightforward premise presented to him initially. Why did Mario seem so eager for him to come to this gathering, when normally he would encourage Luigi to weigh the pros and cons of attending such a stamina-draining event? Why did Peach seem so eager to teach him all of the dances that he coincidentally found himself in tonight when she's normally so respectful of his need for personal space?

And why does Peasley seem so eager to hear more affirmations, smiling that I'm-so-terribly-pleased-with-myself smile and staring him down proudly as if he's just claimed some great victory?

"...Okay," Luigi finally chances, "what are you not telling me?"

Peasley, all but vibrating with excitement, finally spills everything.

In one of his letters, Luigi spoke of an old emotional wound from the world in which he was raised: he once tried asking a boy to his senior prom. This boy was a good friend, and he knew about Luigi's sexuality, so Luigi had foolishly assumed it was a risk worth taking. Even if he rejected his advances, there would be no hard feelings. Right?

Wrong. Very, very wrong. The friend was mortified to learn that Luigi had a crush on him. He proceeded to subject Luigi to an onslaught of insults and beration, in the middle of a busy hallway for everyone to hear, and by the end of it Luigi had lost both a friend and what little sense of self-worth he possessed.

By the following school day, the ex-friend had two fewer teeth, Mario had been both suspended and grounded for it, and Luigi had accepted he'd probably be alone for the rest of his life. The brothers spent the night of their senior prom playing video games together.

And hearing this tale, Peasley had been crushed. To be given something so sacred as this perfect human's heart and react with such vitriol! To fill him with such sorrow that he would be denied access to a pivotal coming-of-age ritual (which is absolutely what he believes this "prom" ordeal is)!

And that's why everyone was asked to wear fashions from or styled after the Metro Kingdom tonight. In speaking with Mario behind Luigi's back, Peasley learned that this "prom" ritual was much like a party, and that the clothing worn for the occasion greatly resembled Metro fashion. With that, Peasley set out to correct that ancient heartache.

This is Prom 2.0. This entire party is for Luigi.

And hearing it, Luigi is almost embarrassed he didn't figure that out sooner. The simple but intimate dances, the earnest flattery, the snacks and drinks in his favorite flavors — this was never one of Peasley's standard parties. This was one giant, carefully crafted, probably very expensive love letter from a prince to a plumber.

"But... but that was years ago!" Luigi eventually manages to stammer. He hardly even recalls telling that story in the first place. He never imagined it would have such an impact.

"That doesn't make it alright." Peasley palms at the handle of his rapier, dark eyes shining brightly in the moonlight. "My goal is to one day seek out the portal between our worlds so that I may deliver swift, karmic justice to he who so terribly wronged you! But until that day comes... I do hope this makes up for it."

Luigi realizes, not for the first time overall but for the first time with mind-numbing certainty, that he wants to marry this man.

Neither of them return to the party. They remain together beneath the moon, laughing and sighing and sharing dizzy words of love. Hey, it’s Luigi’s party, and he can play hooky if he wants to.

[legobiwan]

What do you think the rest of the mario crew thinks of luigis villains?

Oooh hoo hoo. Fun question, anon! I'll include my projected opinions of Bowser, Peach, Mario and maybe a little addendum of E. Gadd as they're the main players who would have definite and varying things to say about each villain.

Bowser

Antasma: Thinks he's an absolute pushover and annoying, to boot. 10/10 would join forces with and betray again as it was almost a little too easy.

King Boo: Is extremely wary of him and tries to avoid entering any deals or partnerships with him, as even Bowser thinks King Boo is seriously deranged and from the rumours he's heard from the Boos who immigrated to the Darklands, he is a petty, tyrannical, and insane ruler. (Not that Bowser isn't petty and tyrannical - at least in his own mind. But, in reality, Bowser is pretty fair according to Darklands culture and treats his minions well, even if he yells and stomps around a lot).

Dimentio: Hates him with a burning passion and wants a chance to go one on one with him, just so he can personally stuff a sock in the smooth-talking jester's mouth. Bowser is always open to less-than-healthy alliances for personal gain, but even he knows Dimentio is someone you do not do deals with if you want to live. But by the lava gods, would he love to dig him up from the River Twygz, just for the opportunity to bury him again.

Peach

Antasma: Frankly, to Peach, Antasma is another villain-of-the-week who kidnapped her. She has no patience for villains who rely solely on kidnapping as their modus operandi, it's insulting and she's over it. She'll, of course, keep an open line of communication with the Pi'illo Kingdom in case Antasma or someone similar tries to make a pass at the Dream Stone, which is a wildly dangerous artifact.

King Boo: Even though King Boo did kidnap her once, Peach holds less disdain for King Boo than Antasma, as, at least with King Boo, her imprisonment wasn't targeted solely on her. She has a healthy respect for King Boo's powers and does not want to get the Mushroom Kingdom entangled with whatever bizarre blood feud is going on between him and Luigi.

Dimentio: She's just glad he's (hopefully) dead. This hasn't stopped her from drafting up a contingency plan to account any reappearance, just in case. She considers him one of the most dangerous villains of all time and worse, due to the whole Chaos Heart fiasco, that contingency plan she's created? Strategies to contain Luigi are also in that plan, and she hates every word she has to dictate to her scribes.

Mario

Antasma: Hates him for the fact he managed to infiltrate his brother's dreams and not only violate his deepest thoughts, but bring Bowser along for that ride. Good riddance to bad rubbish, as the old saying goes.

King Boo: Wants. His. Head. On. A. Platter. (But also, that whole thing makes him doubt himself? He's supposed to the protector, not Luigi. And three times now, Mario has managed to fail and been taken captive by ghosts. He can't figure out why he's so ill-disposed to deal with the paranormal. He needs to fix it).

Dimentio: Mario simultaneously despises Dimentio and is also terrified of him, as he's one of the only bad guys he's never truly been able to kill. Sure, they brought down Super Dimentio (Mario doesn't want to think about that, the other way his brother was folded and stretched into a grotesque monster of the apocalypse), but even then, Dimentio had one last trick up his sleeve and if not for Count Bleck and Tippi, the worlds would have ended and that damned jester and his in-thrall brother would have been left kings of an empty universe. More than King Boo, the nightmare that returns to Mario again and again is Dimentio rising from Underwhere with dangerous, silky words, somehow convincing Luigi to join forces with him to reignite the Chaos Heart and bring reality crashing to an end.

Post-script: E. Gadd

I think of all the villains, E. Gadd would be most fascinated by Antasma. King Boo is a nuisance, one created - if he were to be honest with himself - in part due to his own negligence. He'll never know everything about ghosts, but he knows a damn lot after all these decades. But to traverse the world of dreams and use them to alter reality - that is something E. Gadd has not encountered before, and he would love to study Antasma's powers and see how they align with the brainwave charts he's taken in secret of Luigi.

#hello there #ask legobiwan #mario #peach #bowser #antasma #king boo #e gadd #so i guess the moral of the story is that everyone underestimates antasma except for e gadd #which i feel would backfire WILDLY #and that dimentio scares the shit out of everyone as should be expected #and that e gadd's moral compass is a roulette wheel although he does mean well #thanks anon this was a SUPER fun ask!!!

[cherryfennec]

Hey I been thinking how would a au of Mr l joining the heroes would look like?

Hiya! There actually have already been some posts and even a fic considering this topic, which I'll link below! As for my perspective, we'll have to start at the obvious stuff.

When could Mr.L join the heroes?

We have 2 glorious encounters with The Green Thunder, one in the Whoa Zone and the other in the Sammers Kindgdom. These are really the only times he'd have a chance of changing sides. If we go with the Whoa Zone, Mr.L gets to go on around two adventures, if we go with the second option he'd only get join the heroes for one trip to Flipside.

Would Mr.L join the heroes willingly?

Well yes, and no. So Nastasias brainwashing isn't really explained but we as a community have agreed that she basically has to ability to sort through and remove whatever memories she sees as unimportant. She can also add behaviours and forge events as she sees fit so they remain utmost dazed. During the cutscene before Chapter 6 we see that Mr.L, despite being 'disciplined', is able to rebel which means there is potential.

With these two questions answered we have the possibilities of:

The heroes decide to take Mr.L by force back to the Flipside in Chapter 4. Basically they fight, catch him by the scruff and drag him away. Once back they could try to convince him to switch sides. My favourite continuation of this would probably be that he declines, and since they can't just leave him at Merlons they just tie him around the waist to Mario so he doesn't run. In shorter terms: they drag the chihuahua around on a leash. I just think the picture would be funny. He'd have to learn to cooperate with Mario in battle so they don't die. He could slowly question his current beliefs and change his mind over the span of the small adventures but by the time he'd be ready to fully switch he meets his and the heroes canon demise.

If you'd want to see a more detailed scenario where he does actually agree to join Mario, Peach and Bowser I can recommend you:

The Mr.L Hero AU made by brendathedoodler that takes place after the battle in the Whoa Zone and is based on that specific idea. They've made some art posts, writing work and even a short comic for it. Here's one:

https://www.tumblr.com/brendathedoodler/702687904346030080/hi-about-your-mrl-au-thing-what-would-tippis

The second possibility is they get to the next battle with Mr.L in the ruined kingdom and do a similiar thing from there. Maybe they didn't know it was Luigi during the first battle but by the time they realised he had already ran off, so they want to use this second chance. Now again it's either take back by force or convince with a good argument.

I'm going to be honest though, I think there is one great, already existing portrayal of this scenario. And it's all written in:

'Grey Lies', a fic by SnowyFrostShadow that takes place after the battle in the destroyed Sammers Kindom.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43425892/chapters/109168240

I think it went with the best route when it comes to getting Mr.L to join the good side at that point in the story. It could use some small tweaking but I think it's a good read, at least I enjoy it!

I hope I managed to answer your question. I maybe could try to go into more detail with the first one but I think this about covers the general idea.

July 8: Video Games Day

Bowser wasn’t one for video games, at first.

Junior was the first to get into them, obtaining a variety of consoles that have taken a good portion of his room- which is impressive, considering the rest of it was filled with his bed, art supplies, and hundreds of canvases.

He thought that Junior would be the only child to have an interest in them.

Until he found Ludwig playing “Guitar Villian” with Junior cheering him on.

After that, the other Koopalings started trickling into the hobby as well, with each delving into genres that contributed variety to Junior’s collection.

Larry was predictably drawn towards the adventure/Beat-‘em-Up genres that exuded flashy action sequences and mechanics. However, he was also a bit picky about which he plays, as Bowser found out the hard way.

Morton, on the other hand, surprisingly liked mystery-oriented games like “Professor Clayton”, or “Sphinx Bright: Ace Attorney”. He is also surprisingly good at them, but only if he lets himself stew over the information he’s given (and remembers where he left off).

Wendy was someone who enjoyed anything from the "Barbee" series, although Bowser couldn’t see the connection between that and the gorey Horror games she likes. He’s not sure if he ever wants to know.

Iggy was the one who enjoyed Sci-fi games like “Malter Effect”- usually getting drawn in by the promise of complex technological ‘world building’, but then somehow ending up obsessed with the fictional characters.

Roy had a preference for laid-back games like "Laircraft", liking to build fortresses, treehouses, and other architectural projects that could be made in a cubical world.

Lemmy was the one who liked playing simulators, some of which seem to be ‘out there’ in terms of what the simulation is- like being in control of a Piranha Plant or living through historical tragedies.

Ludwig liked any and every type of musical or rhythm-based game. The sudden veer toward “Just Stomp” was a surprise, of course, but logically followed the same principles he enjoyed with “Rhythm Heck”.

Junior still had his preference for racers and sport-related games, but the gradual inclusion of the collective Koopaling collection has made him try other games- having more success with Larry’s and Roy’s recommendations.

Heck, even Bowser got roped into participating in their gaming sessions. If not as an onlooker, then as a teammate or opponent. It… was more fun than he anticipated.

So, when he married Luigi (with his kids’ insistence and Mario’s blessing), he felt like he only had to wait a week before finding Luigi in the same boat.

And then he found out his husband was a bit of a gamer too. Just…

Not exactly the same level as the kids.

For whatever Grambi-damned reason, Luigi was ridiculously lucky in anything involving chance.

Secret Combos? Completely discovered by accident.

Finding randomized clues? Somehow uses the correct sequence of finding them even when he visibly looks lost.

Horror game survival? Always chooses the right path or figures out the quickest way to defeat the creature/bad guy.

Speech checks? Always passed on the first try.

"Laircraft" Loot? Roy immediately started farming cave chests with Luigi ‘taking a turn’.

Unlocking hidden achievements? Always, always getting at least one every session.

Following the rhythm of a new song? Somehow never stumbles despite his clumsiness.

Getting power up’s in a racer game? Always the right one for the situation, especially ones that get Luigi into 1st place.

The fact that his luck is ridiculous enough to transcend genres is a point of wonder (and bets) among his kids, and Bowser ended up dreading the day they run out of games to lob at him.

And then they turned to card games- specifically poker.

It was a type of videogame that Bowser couldn’t get- why gamble play a virtual game of cards if you could do it easily in real life?

And, knowing that Luigi used to work in a casino (so many questions, so little answers), Bowser figured he’d have that game in the bag.

And then he saw him lose, for the first time ever.

The Koopalings, who have gathered to spectate another success, were stunned silent as they realized that Luigi LOST.

Bowser was stunned silent, but for a different reason:

Luigi looked resigned- like this happened before.

“I guess there are rules in this world that never change…”

“What.”

"Ah," Luigi just blinks at them all, not understanding the sheer significance of what they witnessed. "I'm not good with card games."

“What.”

"Um. I'm not good with them?"

“Mama, surely you're joking.... you're not joking ohmystars-"

"Why would I joke about that?"

"Why would you be horrible with card games?"

"Not horrible! Just... unlucky."

...

Even far outside the castle, citizens of the Koopa Kingdom have heard a loud, collective snort that conveyed varying levels of disbelief.

But they continue their day, blaise and knowing that Luigi is the cause of it.

MY SUPER MARIO MOVIE REVIEW (SPOILERS AHEAD)

Okay, so I have finally composed myself and I will say…man…the Mario movie was fun!

My overall review is its very funny, full of heart and the animation is gorgeous. There’s a lot of unexpected scenes that I found heartwarming and added to the characters/ plot.❤️

However…that being said…the pacing and script is my main concern. I know they have to fit a large chunk of lore for a good runtime, but there isn’t much development.

“But Moon, mario wasn’t all about story” I know, but a movie provides a chance to add story at a cinematic level.

Expanding the world and if not that the characters. If anything, I do not mind the simple plot. Mario needs to save Luigi and work alongside Princess Peach to defeat Bowser. Perfect.

However. I would have really liked more expanded characters. But I will elaborate below because that’s not my only critique.

Beyond here will be spoilers, read at your own risk!! My blog will start reposting/ talking about spoilers from here and now since it’s officially out!

***

CONS/ WHAT I WISH IT HAD MORE OF:

-I wish the bros got more screen time. Their chemistry and brotherly love was amazing, and I was itching to see more of them together.🥺

-that fight at the end with Bowser tho WAS EPIC! But Luigi was super underutilized omg… I really thought he was gonna have another role in the movie. I think they missed out on the side characters having more of a role or even a conversation…

-Speaking of which, idk, I found Lumalee kind of annoying. I know it’s probably going to set up a future movie…but I thought at least we would get some insight as to why the Luma was captured, why it hates living so much, idk….lol. But I did love the voice of Lumalee, super cute :)

-characterization. Apart from Mario and a LITTLE of luigi, and DK, the rest felt bland… I feel like bowser could have been more fleshed out (but don’t get me wrong, I loved how he had a crush on peach, his song and planned on marrying her. AHHH I LOVED IT) toad could have been more fleshed out. What are his goals at least? Not every character has to have an internal conflict, but he just felt…there. And what a shame because hes charming!

-okay guys, but peachs characterization. I’m sorry, this deserves its own post, so I will hyperlink it here when I finishing writing that, but omg yeah I am not quite attached to her portrayal yet😅 what a shame too because I love her so much…

-wish we spent some more time getting to know Mario’s family😭

-not a fleshed out ending. Hoped that peach would have reacted being on earth, maybe a montage of Brooklyn adjusting to having this pipe that leads to another world. What was the cities response overall when it came to cleanup? I know they have HAD to had some questions why a huge gorilla with a tie was there…and talking! Lol…

now… drumroll please…

***

POSITIVES/ WHAT I FREAKIN LOVEDDDDD:

-Mario. Omg they freakin ACED Mario. His character flaws, his goals, aspirations, internal conflict, personality, everything I headcanoned/ hoped for. He’s a goofball who loves adventure, plumbing and loves his family. His determination, stubbornness, (RIZZ HE GOT THAT RIZZ!!!) and charm. Ugh. That affirms it. He’s my fav. I wanted to hug him through the screen many times SO BAD!!!🥺❤️

-luigi and Mario’s brotherly love/chemistry. Omg. The flashback of them as babies and when Mario was cupping Luigi’s face and almost crying out of relief. Like omg omg I’m so happy to that attention to detail😭🥺❤️ they love each other so much it’s just… *chefs kiss* I’m hoping for future movies we get more brotherly scenes, I’m still waiting for that piggyback ride🫶❤️

-baby peach. I just…I wasn’t expecting it. She was so cute and the fact that the toads just adopted her and raised her as their own tells goes sweet they are. 🥹 I’m so glad we got some of a backstory for her! But Omg…she was someone’s child then! :o I love lore…

-bowsers singing and the song peaches is a legit masterpiece. If my man don’t make a song like this and doesn’t sing it with that much enthusiasm I don’t want him!!😤😤😂💞but yep Jack black was awesome hehe he had me dying of laughter and he was super intimidating as Bowser!! He understood the assignment 💅🏼

-which reminds me. I love the plot of Bowser wanting to marry Peach and getting jealous of Mario. I wish we got Mario’s reaction of peach wearing the wedding dress tho I don’t think it really hit him that Bowser was trying to marry Peach…

- speaking of which…Mareach! We got a few cute scenes!! Nothing major, but I see that they are making it a slow burn romance 😏😂 okay, I can wait! While I wish we got more scenes, I loved how DK called out Mario’s attempts at flirting, Peach calling him adorable when he had his cat suit🥺🥺 and her giggles when Mario promises to buy her a pet turtle if she comes to Brooklyn. That was so freakin cute!!!❤️❤️🥹 you can tell Mario likes her, and peach has a fondness for him :)))

-CAT MARIO WAS SO ADORABLE DID YOU SEE WHEN HE BEAT DONKEY KONG HE WAS KNEEDING ON HIM LIKE A CAT WOULD AHHHHH-

-the animation and the storyboarding. Everything art related. The score. I wanted to fly when I heard bowsers theme. I wanted to cry seeing the beautifully crafted action scenes and I can’t wait to see the storyboards 😭❤️ illumination went all the way!!! Also the character design!!! I love all of their designs!!!

-the pop songs were a nice touch and the humor was great. :3

-SEEING MARIOS FAMILY AND THE FACT THAT CHARLES PLAYS THEIR DAD IS SO ADORABLE AND AWESOME I WAS FREAKIN FANGIRLING!!!

-also like I headcanoned THEIR MAMA IS SO ADORABLE I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! No wonder they came out as sweet incredible boys 🥺🧡

-the soundtrack man. They were cooking up in the studio I’m telling you!!! I heard it’s on Spotify now so I’m gonna be listening to it lol

-luigi is so precious but I wish HE HAD MORE SCREENTIME

-DK and Mario’s relationship give me rowdy sibling vibes and I’m here for it

-I love how they can travel from Brooklyn to mushroom kingdom through the pipe, at first I thought it was a star VS the forces of evil thing and the worlds merged until I realized the ending… XD

-I loved all the voices!! I think everyone did an amazing job, I heard a few inconsistencies throughout the movie but meh, everyone seemed excited for their roles!!!🧡🫶

If I can think of anything else I will add, but yeah, I think I had higher expectations for the movie😅 I think if it had a bit more time to flesh out characters, it would have been SUPER great. I loved all the references inside the movie, you can tell it was crafted with passion and love❤️ it was a very fun experience and of course the BRAINROT increased💞

Of course, this is my personal opinions and such, if you have a different one, that's fine! This is just what I would liked to see/ what I thought would have been better in the movie. That’s all!! :3

Just Tell Her!

Mario gets back to the house, and Luigi starts teasing him about his crush on Peach and why Mario won't ask her out. It doesn't take long for the teasing to turn into tickles.

@theybibsxi insisted I upload this fanfic. So, I'm uploading the fanfic...using my old Chromebook from high school, because my laptop clunked out on me! >:0 How dare it commit such rudeness...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Mario got home, closed the door, kicked off his shoes and hung up his hat. He walked to the boys’ bedroom and gently pushed Luigi’s shoulder as he walked by. “Hey Lu.” Mario greeted, flipping onto the bed. 

Luigi looked over at Mario with a smile. “Hey Mario. How was your date?” He asked casually.

Mario rolled his eyes. “Again, it wasn’t a date.” Mario reminded him. “But it was good.” 

Luigi chuckled. “What would you like me to call it?” Luigi asked. 

Mario shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know.” Mario admitted, struggling to think. 

Luigi smirked. “Then it was a date.” Luigi replied proudly. 

Mario groaned. “It was NOT a date. We don’t…” Mario tried to think of how to word things. “We don’t…like each other that way.” Mario tried to tell him. 

Luigi pointed to the side. “Well, that’s not really true. You really like her.” Luigi added. 

“Yeah…I do…” Mario replied awkwardly.

Luigi stared at him, tittering. “And how do you know that?” He asked. 

“I…just…” Mario muttered. 

Luigi laughed. “Did you even ask her?” He asked next. 

“Well no, but…” Mario muttered. 

Luigi laughed and crossed his arms. “But nothing! The truth is, you haven’t even tried to ask her out.” Luigi said. 

“Luigi…It’s much more complicated than that.” Mario admitted. 

Luigi giggled and shook his head. “It’s really not.” Luigi teased. 

“It is! She’s a princess! She has her duties, and I have mine.” Mario explained. 

“And yet, she always tries to make time for you a couple times a week. She clearly likes you back.” Luigi told him. 

Mario rolled his eyes and shook his head. “I doubt it.” Mario muttered. 

Luigi smiled and scooted himself back towards the other side of the bed. “Well…at the very least, you gotta tell me what you like about her.” Luigi told him. 

Mario scoffed and rolled his eyes with a small smile. “And risk you blabbing Peach’s ear off about my secrets? Not happening, Luigi.” Mario replied. 

Luigi stuck out his lip like a lost puppy, and gave Mario the cutest little puppy eyes he could muster. “Pleeeeeeaaase?” He pleaded. 

Mario looked at Luigi, with slight annoyance, and slight cuteness at the same time. He let out a long sigh and looked down, giving into his brother’s childish pleads. “Fiiine.” He said. “But you speak a word of this to Peach, and I will throw you into the mushroom village and tell the toads to doggy pile you.” Mario warned. 

Luigi giggled as he sunk down into the bed a bit, before calming down. “Okay, okay.” Luigi replied. 

“So…Gosh, where do I even start?!” Mario asked with a laugh, blushing slightly. 

“How about…” Luigi cleared his throat. “What was the first thing you noticed about Peach when you first met her?” Luigi asked. 

Mario thought for a moment and looked down. “Well…The first thing she did was throw me to the ground.” Mario admitted. 

Luigi was taken aback. “I’m sorry, WHAHAT?!” Luigi bursted out laughing, slapping the bed. “Shehe did WHAT?!” 

Mario rolled his eyes. “I had reached out for help from Peach…and honestly, she reached out too…We touched hands for only a moment…” Mario said, recalling the feeling of relief he felt about seeing her. Then he chuckled and shook his head. “Only for her to throw me down onto the floor in one go…” Mario explained. 

Luigi cackled, clapping his hands in front of him. “Ohohokay! Fast forward to later on.” Luigi said. 

Mario smiled and started to remember the obstacle course. “Peach got me to do an obstacle course to ‘see what I’m made of’.” Mario told him. “And before giving me a chance to try, Peach made sure to show me how it’s done.” Mario told him. “And HOLY-” Mario held his forehead. “It was INSANE! She did flips, wall-jumps, summersaults-” Mario grabbed Luigi’s shoulder. “SHE LEAPT BETWEEN MOVING BULLET BILLS THAT FLEW BACKWARDS, AND THEN SPUN AROUND THE FLAGPOLE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE USING HER DRESS AS A PARACHUTE to soar back down!” Mario shouted, looking like he was going to burst. 

Luigi let out genuine giggles as he appreciated and admired the excitement on his brother’s face. 

“It was SO COOL! And…” Mario groaned. “I made myself look like a complete fool several times in front of her.” Mario admitted. “And the crazy part?” Mario lowered his arm down with a small smile. “She didn’t care about any of my embarrassing moments.” Mario told him. “She was humble…she didn’t even care that I didn’t fully pass the obstacle course.” Mario added. “She…was just really happy that I got as far as I did.” Mario said. 

Luigi smiled and listened. “Aww…” 

“Even if I got eaten by a metal piranha plant at the very end…” Mario muttered. 

Luigi wheezed and laughed at him. “Gohosh, that sounds painful.” Luigi reacted. “But also really funny.” He added. 

Mario smiled and looked at the floor. “And that was when my part of the adventure began.” Mario told him. “And we’ve only gotten closer ever since.” he added, blushing a little bit more. 

Luigi smirked. “Which is why it’s absolutely ludicrous that you’re refusing to ask her out.” Luigi teased, poking his side. 

Mario yelped and hugged himself with his arms, letting out a low growl. “Shut up.” Mario muttered. 

“Not until you tell her how you feel.” Luigi teased, poking his belly. 

Mario jumped again and shot Luigi a glare. “Stop poking me.” He warned. 

“Why?” Luigi teased next, poking his side. 

“Behecause it’s not helping!” Mario replied. 

“Is it nerves? Are you nervous about her reaction?” Luigi asked, placing his hand on the bed. 

“Well…Isn’t anyone in this situation?” Mario asked. 

“Well yeah…But whether you do it or not, is where it changes.” Luigi added. “You could choose to never know whether she likes you and remain friends with her…” Luigi looked at Mario with a smirk on his face as he began poking Mario’s left side and belly. “Or you can actually try to move past the anxiety and tell her how you feel.” Luigi declared. 

Mario yelped and jumped as a wobbly smile slowly filled his face. “Nohoho wahahay!” Mario protested. 

“Or…” Luigi moved himself onto his knees and started poking Mario’s side and belly with both fingers at a much faster pace. “I could tickle the nerves out of you and convince you to tell her how you actually feel.” Luigi offered. 

Mario yelped and tittered, struggling to bat at Luigi’s hands. “Noho! Luihihigi STAHAP!” Mario yelled. “Whahat gohood’s thahat gohonna do?!” Mario asked. 

Luigi giggled. “I’m glad you asked.” He picked up Mario and gently pushed him onto his back before tickling his belly and sides. “You see, nerves have this weird ability to alert the brain of discomfort in the stomach area when people are nervous or anxious.” Luigi told him. “It’s called ‘butterflies’, because people can best describe the strange feeling like ‘butterfly wings fluttering around in your tummy’.” Luigi explained. 

“Thahahat ihis NOHOT TRUHUHUE!” Mario argued. 

Luigi shrugged his shoulders. “Maybe not…but it also hasn’t been disproven yet.” Luigi added with a wink. 

Mario only continued to wiggle his arms around and laugh while his brother attacked his ticklish stomach, sides, and occasional ribs. 

“Anyway, there is only one way to get these silly butterfly feelings to go away. And that is to tickle the person in their belly. This helps distract the brain with new ticklish feelings rather than focusing on the unusual discomfort.” Luigi explained like a doctor, or a psychologist. 

“Quihihit mahaking stuhuhuhuff uhuhuhup!” Mario ordered. 

“Again, hasn’t really been disproven. All facts are considered true until proven false.” Luigi added. “Anyway…the discomfort from the anxiety soon begins to change into what I call ‘tickly euphoria’. The brain is too focused on processing the jumpy tickly feelings, thus making the discomfort slowly go away.” Luigi explained. “But never stop too soon…” Luigi warned, pausing his tickle attack.

Mario’s giggles and laughter lessened to breathless giggles as he laid there on the bed. “Because the butterflies will only come back to haunt the anxious victim once again.” Luigi explained. 

And…He was right. The butterfly feeling quickly filled his stomach once again. But…it wasn’t because of the nervousness about telling Peach…These stomach butterflies were from the embarrassment of being tickled by his brother. 

Luigi smirked. “Was I right? Are the butterflies coming back?” Luigi asked, booping Mario’s nose. 

Mario yelped and held his nose, before glaring at Luigi with a deepening blush on his face. “N-No…” Mario replied, not at all confident in his answer. 

“Then why is your belly all red?” Luigi asked, lifting up Mario’s shirt and poking his belly lightly. 

Mario yelped and shivered as the cool air filled his belly, causing goosebumps on his stomach…Followed by a squeak from Mario due to Luigi’s little poke. “B-Because you’re embarrassing me!” Mario reacted, grabbing Luigi’s wrists and holding them out so they couldn’t get any closer to Mario’s exposed belly.

“Funny…” Luigi started wiggling his fingers, making Mario’s blush darken. “Butterflies from ticklishness is not something I had considered in my years of studies.” Luigi teased. 

Mario growled. “STOP!” Mario yelled. 

“Well now, I have to try this out! Does tickling also cure the butterflies resulting from vulnerable, tickly embarrassment?” Luigi asked. 

Mario glared at him. “One more finger on my belly…” Mario warned. “And I will throw you to the bed and obliterate you with my fingers.” Mario threatened. 

“Ooohohooo! A threat?” Luigi teased. 

“Nope!” Mario smirked and brought his face closer to Luigi. “A big. Fat. Promise.” Mario spat back. 

Luigi nodded his head, showing some astonishment. “Okay…” Luigi replied. “Alright.” He said next. 

…And then Luigi took in a quick, large breath before bending over at lightning speed and unloading the STRONGEST raspberry he could muster, right onto Mario’s exposed belly. 

Mario gasped with shock and SCREAMED with newfound laughter! “AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NAHAHAHAHAHA LUIHIHIHIGIIIII!” Mario shouted as loud as he could. The poor man had to let go of Luigi’s wrists so he could attempt to push Luigi’s head off his belly. But the sudden raspberry had completely weakened him, rendering his muscles completely useless for self-defense. 

Luigi lifted his head up and looked at Mario with a shit-eating grin, before taking in a deep breath and unloading yet ANOTHER raspberry onto his poor brother. “PPPPBBBBFFFBFFFBBBBFBBFFBB!” Luigi let out. 

“AAAAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHA! FAHANCULO! FAHAHAHANCUHUHULOHOHO!” Mario shouted at him. 

Luigi lost control of himself, and accidentally tittered into Mario’s belly near the end of his raspberry breath. This put a puff of air against Mario’s belly, which made the man squeal and curl up, letting out a few squeaky giggles in the process. 

Luigi looked up at Mario, and quickly noticed this change in laughter. “What was that?” Luigi asked. 

“Ahare you dohohone?” Mario asked. 

“No, I’m not. What was that laugh?” Luigi asked. 

“Ihit was nothing.” Mario tried to tell him. 

“It was squeaky.” Luigi reacted. 

“Uhuhuhuhhh…So?” Mario asked, attempting to throw Luigi off. 

Luigi looked down at Mario’s belly before blowing a short breath onto Mario’s belly. Mario squealed yet again, and threw his head back as more squeaky, embarrassing high-pitched giggles left his mouth. Quickly growing embarrassed by such giggles, Mario attempted to cover his mouth. But this wouldn’t quiet the giggles completely…only muffle them a bit.  

Luigi looked up at Mario, before chuckling with surprise. “Air tickles you?!” Luigi reacted. 

“Nohohoho shuhuhut ihihihit!” Mario whined, pushing weakly against Luigi’s forehead with his left hand. 

“You’re telling me that you’re so ticklish, a single puff of air can tickle you?!” Luigi asked with shock. 

Mario resorted to covering his entire face with both his hands. This was so freaking embarrassing…Why did Luigi have to figure that out?! Whyyy?! He’s just gonna use it against him! He knew what his brother was capable of! He would eagerly use this information to his advantage. 

“Peach has GOTTA know about this.” Luigi reacted. 

Mario gasped and sat up quickly. “NO.” Mario warned. What the heck did he JUST SAY?! DID HE NOT CALL THIS!? HE 100% CALLED THIS! “We are NOT TELLING PEACH.” Mario ordered. 

Luigi backed up slightly and put his hands up in arrest. “Now, now, hold on…” Luigi said. “Hear me out.” 

Mario crossed his arms, momentarily giving Luigi the time to explain himself. 

“All I’m saying is…Maybe that fact will be a good conversation starter.” Luigi offered. 

Mario narrowed his eyes at Luigi. 

“Ya know…To…to help you get your thoughts out?” Luigi offered hesitantly. “Calm ya down?” Luigi added. 

Mario softened his expression. As stupid as the idea sounds…it also makes a slight bit of sense. “...” Mario stayed silent, as he looked at Luigi…before looking at the bed. “.........maybe…” Mario muttered. 

Luigi widened his eyes. “Wait, really?” Luigi asked. 

“I said MAYBE. MAYBE it’s an idea.” Mario clarified. 

Luigi nodded. “Yeah, yeah. Of course.” Luigi replied. He slowly lowered his hands back down, and twiddled his thumbs a slight bit. “So…does that mean…” 

Mario let out a huff and smiled a small bit. “Maybe…I can also work up the courage to tell Peach how I feel.” Mario. 

Luigi threw his fists in the air. “WOOHOO!” Luigi shouted. 

Mario pulled Luigi’s hand back down and covered his mouth. “Shhhh!” Mario muttered. “That’s not a definite answer.” Mario whispered at him. 

Luigi nodded his head and placed his hands down…only for him to raise up his right hand and point his index finger at him. “...So you’re saying there’s a chance?” Luigi asked. 

“There’s a chance, alright.” Mario replied. 

Luigi smiled and lowered his hand down. “Good.” He replied. 

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Luigi’s wrist and pulled him onto his back on the bed. It all went so fast, he couldn’t properly process what happened until after he landed on his back! And that was only right when Mario started poking and skittering his fingers on Luigi’s ribs and sides. “But there is an even BIGGER chance of you getting utterly wrecked by my vicious hands.” Mario warned with a smirk. 

Luigi squeaked and curled his toes as he bursted out in newfound, strong laughter. “NAHAHAhahahaha! MAHAHARIOHOHOHOHOOOO!” Luigi laughed helplessly. 

“Whaaaat? Not expecting revenge so soon?” Mario asked before spidering his fingers up the ribs to his armpits. 

“Nohoho! No! NOHO! NOHOHO!” Luigi yelled right before the spidery fingers started dancing in his open armpits. “GAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! YEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEE!” Luigi instinctively squeezed Mario’s fingers inside his armpits as he shouted with laughter. “NAHAHAT THEHERE! NAHAHAT THEHEHERRRE!” Luigi pleaded, shaking his head and chest left and right. 

“Kitchy kitchy koo! A kitchy kitchy kitchy koo! Such sensitive armpits you have, Luigi!” Mario reacted, quickly pulling his arms out of his armpits. “It would be a shame if I were to…” Mario held Luigi’s left arm out to the side with his right arm, while skittering all 5 of his fingers in the wide-open armpit. “-stop you from covering up your armpit!” Mario declared. 

Luigi howled with strong laughter as he tugged on his pinned arm. His arm wasn’t even pinned above his head! It was only being pinned at a 90 degree angle! And that was enough to drive the man absolutely insane! Specifically because he was sooo painstakingly close to covering up his armpit…but it just was not enough…

“Since we’re on the topic of crushes, I am BEGGING to know:” Mario stopped tickling and took a moment to boop Luigi’s nose. “Who do you have a crush on?” Mario asked. 

Luigi hugged himself with his arms as he breathlessly giggled. “Uhuhhh…D-Daisy.” Luigi admitted. 

“Thought so.” Mario replied. “And did you tell her?” Mario asked. 

Luigi nodded his head. “Yeah, I did.” he replied. 

Mario raised his eyebrows. “Oh wow! And how did she react?” Mario asked. 

She…” Luigi’s blush deepened as he recalled the memory. “She said ‘Is it still considered a crush if the person you love feels the same way?’.” Luigi told him. 

Mario laughed a bit at that. “So she likes you back?” Mario clarified. 

“Yeah. And we’re just taking things slow for now.” Luigi explained. 

Mario chuckled. “Does that mean you’re her girlfriend?” Mario asked next. 

Luigi smiled. “I think so.” 

Mario smiled and poked Luigi’s ribs. “Does she know how ticklish you are?” Mario asked next. 

Luigi yelped and held his ribs. “Mario!” Luigi whined. 

Mario laughed and squeezed his fingers on his brother’s side. “You didn’t answer my question.” he reminded him. 

Luigi squeaked and laughed, curling up and gently batting Mario’s hand away. “Shehehe dohohoes! Shehe dohohohoes! Nohow stohohohop!” Luigi giggled. 

“Good.” Mario replied as he stopped his fingers. “Cause you’re cute when you’re tickled.” Mario added, poking his shoulder. 

Luigi rolled his eyes and pulled Mario against his chest. “Right back at you, Mario.” Luigi teased as he skittered his fingers all over his belly. 

Mario squeaked and threw his head back, laughing his heart out. “LUIHIHIHIGIIIHIHI!” Mario yelled, cackling. 

Luigi looked up at the window, and smiled brightly when he saw what was standing at the window. He looked back down at Mario and placed Mario onto his back on the bed before blowing a raspberry onto his brother’s belly. Mario widened his eyes and cackled, closing his eyes and shaking his head as he weakly tapped his brother’s head. The man was absolutely losing his mind with laughter. And honestly…he didn’t really mind it. 

Luigi then got up off the bed and opened the window. “Hi Princess!” Luigi reacted. 

Wait, PRINCESS?! Mario shrieked and shoved his face into the bed. WHAT THE HELL WAS THE PRINCESS DOING HERE?! AAAAAAAAH! 

Peach giggled and waved. “Hi Luigi! Having fun?” She asked teasily. 

Luigi chuckled. “You bet!” Luigi replied. “You wanna help?” Luigi offered. 

Mario shot his head up rapidly with widened eyes. WAIT, WHAT?! 

“Sure!! If I’m allowed to, of course…” Peach teased with a wink. 

Luigi turned to look at Mario, who was glaring into his brother's soul. “Not. Another. Word.” Mario warned. 

Luigi smirked and kept looking at Mario as he replied to Peach. “Of course you’re allowed to tickle Mario!” Luigi replied. “I’ll even show you what tickle spots to go for!” Luigi offered. 

Peach laughed and started to run for the front door. “Be right there!” 

Luigi smiled and closed the window with a soft sigh. 

“TI UCCIDERO', LUIGI!” Mario shouted, pulling Luigi backwards by the arm and throwing Luigi onto his bed. 

“M-MARIO WAIT-”

Mario put Luigi’s arms above his head and held them there with one hand, before wiggling his fingers at Luigi. “You just made the biggest mistake of your- AAAEEEE!” Mario shouted suddenly, suddenly being picked up from behind by a pair of hands. 

“Goodness! Such anger in someone so small. I’m gonna need to fix that.” Peach declared as she started skittering her little nimble fingers on Mario’s somewhat chubby belly. 

Mario tittered and wiggled around, shaking his head as he struggled to keep his laughter in. 

Luigi rolled his eyes. “Just laugh, Mario. She’s heard your laughter before.” Luigi told him. 

“I’ve also seen how you react to raspberries.” Peach added right before she blew a raspberry onto Mario’s neck. 

Mario finally burst out cackling, kicking his feet in front of him as he laughed and squeaked at the tickly raspberries. “NAHAHAHAHA! NAHAHAT FAHAHAIR! NOHOHOT FAHAHAHAHAIR!” Mario shouted. 

Luigi giggled and pulled out his phone. “This I gotta record~!” Luigi teased. 

Peach giggled and kept going. “Just wait till the toads hear about this! The toads are gonna love it!” Peach teased. 

Mario was left to just cackle his heart out in his crush’s arms, dying of embarrassment in the process. The fact that he’s being tickled by his CRUSH OF ALL PEOPLE, IS SO EMBARRASSING! AND SHE’S AMAZING AT IT?!  H O W?! 

And this is how Mario dies…

From embarrassment…

Since I’m starting to post Mario stuff might as well scream about how exciting that last Nintendo Direct was (spoilers under the cut)

- SUPER MARIO RPG IS GETTING REMASTERED !!!! I ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO PLAY THAT GAME !!! Also the Chibi artstyle is adorable ! Also also I love how Mario and Peach are clearly Chibi with bigger heads while Bowser has normal proportions. Also also also, to all the Geno fans out there, how are you guys feeling ?

- NEW PRINCESS PEACH GAME !!! AND THEY’RE IGNORING HER BUTCHERED MOVIE VERSION AND INSTEAD ARE KEEPING HER AS SWEET AND SOFT AND FIGHTING WITH MAGIC, HELL YEAH !!! Also I like how it doesn’t seem to be a platformer but instead a more adventure type of game, I like the diversity ! Plus it’s fitting for Peach.

(And also I have this headcanon that Peach has magic but doesn’t know how to use it, at least not without help (Starlow “triggering it for her” in Mario and Luigi for example) and considering the thing helping her use magic in this game seems sentient, the headcanon still stands ! And yes the reason for this headcanon is to justify Peach never using it outside of the RPGs + there’s angst potential, especially when taking into account how often villains use her for her powers)

- Also they joke about having a game for each main characters, with one Mario game, one Luigi game and one Peach game. Where's our Bowser game, Nintendo ? He's a main character too, when is his time under the spotlight ? /hj

- NEW WARIO WARE GAME HOLY SHIT AND IT’S SIMILAR TO SMOOTH MOOVES, ARGUABLY THE BEST OF THE SERIES !!!!!

- NEW SUPER MARIO BROS THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A BRAND NEW GAME INSTEAD OF BEING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN !!! AND THE ARTSTYLE IS FANTASTIC !!! AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY AS DAISY HOLY SHIT !!!! Although I feel like this game will fuel even more “Mario takes drugs” jokes because…I mean come on, there’s no beating the drug allegations on this one. Also I’m low-key curious as to what Bowser’s plan is here since 1. Peach is playable so he didn’t capture her and 2. That one small moment with what appeared to be Junior with a strange mask ? (that character had Junior’s proportions, a spiked shell and bracelets without spikes) Are Bowser and his army brainwashed in this game maybe ? And now that I think about it doesn’t his ship have purple eyes or something, implying they're brainwashed ? Also is Yoshi going to be the new “easy mode” character since he can flutter and carry others ? That could also explain why four players can all be him

- Not the biggest when it comes to battle royal games but that one rhythm game seems wacky as all hell

- While not games I own or is that big of a fan of, feel happy for Luigi Mansion fans, Mario Kart fans who finally got Kamek into the rooster + Petey Piranha as many hoped (though I hope Wiggler being here won’t prevent other wanted characters in…), Pikmin fans who got a brand-new game, same for Sonic (I might actually get this one, seems pretty fun), and also happy for those who wanted more out of Mario + Rabbids.

- On a more negative note, GAME FREAK WILL YOU PLEASE LET YOUR TEAM GET SOME GODDAMN DESERVED REST ?!!! We can live a few years without a new Pokemon game, the world isn’t going to explode ! Hell look at Mario ! We haven’t had a new Mario Bros game in years (not counting the U remake) and look how amazing the new game looks ! Stop overworking your poor team, your fans aren’t going anywhere, they can wait !

Overall, the one I’m most excited for this year is Wario Ware while the most exciting overall is the Peach game. I don’t know if this is because she’s always been my favorite as a kid or because I’m still salty about how much positive reception her movie version got, but seeing Nintendo portray Peach as a magical girl makes me unbelievably happy (or relieved I guess ? One big fear I had about the movie was said movie causing Peach’s character to be completely revamped; so it’s good that at least Nintendo aren’t doing it. And it proves that this whole “Movie Peach is how I always viewed her” from Miyamoto was indeed marketing bullshit).

But seriously, I can already tell Super Mario RPG and Wario Ware are gonna take over my life. Also this song has been stuck in my head for hours now, help

#Nintendo Direct #Nintendo Direct spoilers #if that's even a thing #Super Mario #Flor talks #long post #(I guess ?) #I would gush more in the tags but since this might be spoilers... #hence the little rant at the end of the post instead of putting it down there #(take a shot every time I wrote 'also')

More about this AU about Dr Mario and Mr L from separate words meeting in the Mushroom Kingdom.

@snowyfrostshadows @kuramirocket I am thanking both of your tags for stirring my brain into writing more.

*

It's far from smooth sailing at first.

There's the initial thrill, the euphoria of a dream come true -I found you, I finally found you again, you came back to me- but quickly bumps in the road appear and frustrate them both.

Both have trauma regarding their own brother, both are worried they're subconsciously trying to replace their missing brother, or that this Other is trying to do the same with them.

Dr. Mario is very closeted emotionally, almost stunted. Man of few words, keeping his emotions close to his chest, rarely allowing himself to express how he feels, even when he's hurting. And always, always caring more about others than himself, to the point of putting himself in danger and blindly trusting strangers, despite not being a fighter (he does packs a mean punch, but he's not the agile, athletic Mario we're familiar with). He fusses and worries a lot about Mr. L, gets stressed if he can't help him, and every time Mr L snaps at him, he bears it stoically, even if it hurts. He deserves it (he should have done more). He can take it (it should have been him instead). He doesn't mind if Mr L refuses to call him by his name, as long as he's safe and sound.

Mr L is loud, angry and aggressive to hide his anxiety. He's so relieved yet deeply scared to finally have his brother back (but it's not his brother, it will never be his Mario), because he will mess up again and lose him again, he knows it, so better do the job yourself to spare yourself the pain...and yet every time he's about to push Dr Mario away for good, he panics and tries to make things better, he can't leave him behind again. His memory still blocks out most of what happened to his own Mario -all he remembers is being surrounded, there's too many of them, and then the next memory is him running covered in wounds, tears blurring his vision, and most of all, the agony of knowing his brother was gone. Every time he tries to remember, to dig deeper, panic inevitably seeps in, coiling around this throat until he's gasping for air and forces him to kick back to the surface out of instinct.

It doesn't help that Dr Mario had several years to process his brother's death, even if it still hurts after all this time : at least he knows what happened. Meeting another version of Luigi...he can't help but wonder if that's the universe giving him another chance .

Meanwhile, Mr L is in the grey and can't process his brother's death properly, so he is tense about this other version of Mario, and while he doesn't realize it consciously (at first), he associates his own brother with guilt, the Doctor being a living reminder of what he failed to do. (A part of him is also angry at himself for hoping for the impossible when he saw that terribly familiar yet foreign face: that his Mario had survived against all odds).

Despite the tension, Dr Mario manages to convince Mr L to stick together until at least they reach some kind of town. (Not that Mr L actually needed much effort to convince; despite his complaints, he doesn't let the Doc go out of his sight).

Of course once they do reach town and get over the weirdness of Toads, they learn about how the Koopa King has been attacking the kingdom and now the princess has been kidnapped. And of course the first thing Dr Mario wants to do is helping these strange little people. Mr L is baffled and reluctant. Why should they bother with these guys ?? Don't they have enough problems ? Mr L's trust has been abused before and it drives him crazy to watch the Doc (he doesn't want to call him Mario, not at that time) get roped into risking his neck against a freaking king. A fire-breathing ten foot monster, if the rumours are true.

They argue about it. Loudly. The argument gets out of hand, and at some point Mr L snarls "Stop thinking you get a say in my life just because I look like some dead kid! I'm not your brother and you are ! NOT ! MINE !!"

Dr Mario freezes and Mr L thinks he's finally pushed him beyond the limit. That the calm and composed doctor is finally going to snap and get angry.

(He wants Mario to be angry at him, he wants him to finally voice out loud all that guilt he carried for years).

Instead, Dr Mario looks...exhausted.

"You're right." He finally says in a soft, tired voice. "I'm not. And even if I was, I shouldn't put you of all people in danger. It's fine. I'll take care of the situation," he adds with a soft smile that doesn't reach his eyes, "just...stay safe, okay? That's all I'm asking."

And something rotten curls inside Mr L's gut as he watches his brother the doctor Mario leave, you're abandoning him again YOU COWARD.

He can't stop himself from following him at a distance, and it quickly proves to be the right call because it appears quickly that Dr Mario is NOT a fighter, quickly out of his depth against the first Koopa patrol he encounters. Mr L charges and scatters the Koopas, and when Dr Mario expresses surprise at his presence, he immediately blusters and claims loudly that Dr Mario trying to be a hero is giving him second-hand embarrassment...

"But hey," he says as he holds out his hand to the doc on the ground, "brother or not, I should at least make sure you won't die stupidly on your first try at adventure. That's a dumb way to end your game."

Dr Mario is...puzzled. And yet so, so relieved.

It's the first step of a long road. They don't know where it will lead.

But they're going to take it together.

[useless19]

What about that proper escape attempt made between days 1 and 7 ?

For the first few days, Luigi doesn't make an attempt. He wants a chance to scout opportunities and take his time figuring out a plan (which he's only willing to do because he knows he's not in physical danger right now). Then he sneaks out in the evening on Day 4, after Junior's gone to bed, since that's usually when he gets some time alone.

He escapes from the castle by the simple method of walking out the front doors. There are some Koopa Troopas on guard and Luigi horribly fails his deception roll to convince them that he's allowed outside. However, Koopas aren't always the brightest sparks and they fail their insight checks even worse. They "uncover" the fact that Luigi must be sneaking out to go get a surprise for Bowser and let him go. The only worry is that they offer to come with him to help, but Luigi manages to do better at insisting that they have to stay on duty.

There's a pipe nexus in the surrounding castle town (much more spread out than Toad Town due to the shifting volcanic nature of the land). Luigi decides that it's lower risk to hop to another place within Bowser's Kingdom and going from there to the Mushroom Kingdom, so he makes his way to a different pipe. He manages to avoid all attention by taking off his hat; no one recognises him without it (he's honestly a bit miffed over that). Intra-kingdom pipes aren't regulated anywhere near as much as inter-kingdom ones.

In the next nexus, the pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom is blocked off. Warning tape and traffic cones and tools are lying around it, so Luigi figures he's gotten unlucky and this one's currently under repair. The Mushroom Kingdom pipe in the next town's nexus has an 'out of order' sign hung up on it. Luigi tries it anyway, only to discover that it's blocked from the Mushroom Kingdom side. He might be good at fixing pipes, but he doesn't have any tools and fixing a pipe from the inside is a nightmare; you usually want at least one other person with you and ideally another person on the outside on either end too.

(Luigi probably doesn't figure this out, but the Mushroom Kingdom is on high alert at the moment and their default defensive measures involve blocking access from Bowser's Kingdom, since he's usually the problem.)

A bit dispirited, but still determined, Luigi sets off on foot. By this time it's dark and, despite his adventures, Luigi hasn't learnt how to navigate by the stars (nighttime's for sleeping!). He heads towards a bit of greenery, reasoning that Bowser's Kingdom is mostly volcanic rock and scorched earth, so anywhere with trees is somewhere else, and eventually finds a forest. Nothing tries to kill him immediately and the water is actual real water, not poison sludge, so he goes in. After a while of bumping into trees and tripping over bushes in the dark, Luigi finds somewhere to sleep and settles down for the night.

Morning breaks, Luigi wakes. He realises the flaw in his plans: he didn't bring any food. But forests normally have fruits and stuff, right? If he wanders long enough he'll find something.

Just as he comes across some promising looking trees, his vision blacks out and magic yanks his stomach sideways. He blinks golden stars out of his eyes and finds himself back in the dining hall. He feels awful (he doesn't know if the magicks were worse for him being so far away or if it's because he was hungry) and almost throws up. He doesn't get much time to recover before Bowser pushes him into his chair and growls at him that he shouldn't have run away.

Luigi is both too busy feeling sorry for himself and constantly pestered by Junior that day to notice much else. Junior's on the clingy side because he's not all that used to people up and vanishing so silently, usually there's a big rescue or everyone in the castle is doing some prep work for an invasion, or something like that.

Bowser doesn't really care overall. He expected this and he doesn't care about Luigi at this point. He's more annoyed because Junior's upset than anything else.

(Much, much later, Luigi will actually look over a map and figure out where he ended up. He managed to go in the complete wrong direction and was puttering around in a forest belonging to a kingdom on the other side of Bowser's Kingdom from the Mushroom Kingdom. It would've been a whole adventure getting out of that mess, no doubt.)

OK, FINALLY HOME, TIME TO SAY MY THOUGHTS ON THE TRAILER

The animation was really good, even for Illumination. You can really tell Nintendo *put a lot of money in to make this look good (read: held a gun to Illumination's head to make sure they didn't fuck this up)

So, fun fact about me, before this trailer, I have never heard Jack Black's voice. I didn't even know who he was until he got cast! Still, I gotta, you can tell he put a lot of effort into Bowser's voice, to make it that perfect mix of villainous so you can see why he's seen as a threat but also cartoony enough to be funny.

Speaking of funny, the scene with the peinguins? Hilarious!

Also, internet, can we bully Nintendo into getting rid of Crisp Rat? That man IS not Mario. We did for Sonic's design, we can do it for this.

Toad was pretty ok, he wasn't a dead ringer, but he also wasn't Crisp Rat.

Also, once again, My Boi Luigi is getting buried under the rug! But, at least there's confirmation they didn't fuck him up so....

Conclusion:

Me: I want to see my little boi

Nintendo: Here he comes!

Me: *slowly lowers the gun from Miyamoto's head* ok..you may live...but i want mORE

@knightinink WAIT REALLY? /GEN?

Whelp, time to ramble

TW for implied torture

Instead of trying to gas her, the Keepers decided to lock Audrey up with the rest of the Cyclebreakers

The barrier curtains that cover the cells? Outta here! Audrey interacting with Henry and Sammy (and Norman, he's there too) more then in-game!

During this stint in prison, Audrey sees one of the communication-radio thingies that Allison talked to her on nearby and goes for it while her cellmates cause a distraction!

She speaks into it only to hear instead...Porter?!

He was in the nearby area of one and heard her voice coming out of it and decided to strike up a conversation!

Obviously, she's like, "h e l p m e" and Porter, while kinda not getting the fact that her life's in danger, promises to come save her!

Audrey gives him instructions to find a woman with a sword named Alice and that he has to find a way to take out the power, because his powers would be canceled out.

But then the Keepers come and take Audrey away!

And they uh...let's just say that her punishment was exactly what Bendy was trying to prevent

And that everyone in the prison heard her screams.

And there was a certain someone with incredible hearing far away from the prison who heard her.

A n y w a y s, the next day, there's a power outage! So Audrey, Sammy, Henry and Norman take this opportunity to escape! (With Henry carrying Norman's head)

During the chaos they manage to unite with Porter, Allison, and Tom (the latter two have to be told that Sammy is an ally, so don't curbstomp him please-)

But then the Keepers corner them, and when it seems like they're dead just when they had a chance, the Ink Demon comes and takes advantage of the lack of power to f*ck em up!

While the others want to use Bendy's rampage as cover to escape, Henry, Audrey and Sammy aren't so inclined.

For Sammy, it's relatively simple; he can't abandon his lord! Not at his grand revival! What kind of prophet would he be?

For Audrey, she's having an internal debate. On one hand, she knows the Ink Demon could kill her, if stories from her cellmates are true and he had. On the other hand, he came here, even after what had happened to him here.

(Wilson spilled what he did to Bendy when he came by in a attempt to get Audrey's trust. It Did Not Work)

He wouldn't have done that just for no reason, and the reason that a part of her wanted to believe that it was to help her. (That part of you is right Audrey~)

Henry's having a similar debate, with the knowledge of the Cycle and the fact that's Bendy's one of Joey's pawns too.

The party's left in a stalemate until Porter just straight up yells to Bendy, "Hey silly! We're leaving soon! You don't wanna be left behind!"

And Bendy? He actually listens and heads towards the group

So now we have Allison and Tom trying to run away from Bendy but also trying not to leave Henry, Audrey, and Porter behind, Bendy in his massive Ink Demon self running behind him, Porter quick teleporting and having the time of his life, Sammy frantically screaming about Bendy, Norman screeching into Allison's ears, and Audrey and Henry just trying to keep up and wondering "how did my life get to this point"

It all comes to a climax when they're almost out of the prison when the power comes back on! And the Keepers found them

Bendy's shrinking into Benders and the Keepers are making a move on him and that's when Audrey makes her choice...

...by scooping him up in his arms and yelling at everyone to keep running

A long and heavy chase ensues, until the group manages to hide and shake them off

Thinks about ghosts as a recurring motif in BATDR. In the literal sense with Carly, the Phantoms of the Machine, Memory! Joey, etc. But also thinks about ghosts in a figurative sense. Joey haunting the studio even after dying, but not being the real Joey, just haunted by the monster the man was. Henry being created solely for Joey to haunt and torture. Audrey being haunted by Joey's legacy and not even remembering it. Alice being haunted and tormented over a false standard of perfection. Allison being haunted by Alice and what could have been. Bendy being haunted over never being good enough for Joey and being tortured and forced into what everyone else wants him to be until he meets Audrey.

god. this game heard the saying "there's more than one way to be haunted" and fucking ran with it huh

do i understand that since hunter is one of many clones of a dead guy from the 1600s him being transmasc most likely won't be canon?: yes

do i subscribe to the headcanon regardless?: also yes

What headcanons do you have for what I consider the main Mario cast?

(Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Yoshi, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser, and Bowser Jr.)

(INHALES)

He overworks himself and only Luigi and/or Peach can stop him

He has a crush on Peach that's stupidly obvious to everyone

He, Luigi, Toad, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad live together

He wants to be buddies with Bowser!

Professional Memer

That one father figure of the entire Kingdom

Anger Issues sometimes

Sibling Fights

Great Singer

The Koopalings actually kinda like him!

Unironically friends with Waluigi

Pays attention to every. Single. Miniscule. Detail.

Peach (Writer's least Favorite)

Wakes up at like, 3 AM in the morning to get all of the governing of the Kingdom stuff out of the way so she has time to spend with her friendos all day

She has a crush on Mario that's STUPIDLY obvious to everyone

Learning to protect herself

Literally the definition of a Mario Magnet

Chaotic as all heck, not afraid to show it

Like two other girls from a GOOD few Kingdoms and Towns over, she pulls of "Mario Heists" and just snatches Mario on occasion

She doesn't prefer dresses, but she will wear them if she has to. She likes shorts more.

"Hey Bowser, remember that time where I wrecked you?"

"A complete doofus", she calls herself.

Finds herself Annoying, everyone tries to cheer her up.

Rosalina

SHE IS VERY VERY LAZY

Wants to sleep in but has all these children--

You're bound to see her in her pajamas when you casually see her on the Comet Observatory

All the Lumas can take care of themselves and all of the younger Lumas, but due to her Mom Instincts that keep on kicking in, she ends up taking care of the Lumas anyway

Likes drawing as a pastime!

Stupidly Protective of Mario and Peach for whatever reason

Really likes Daisy. A lot. A lot a lot.

"Mama why are you drawing that orange girl again with hearts around i--"

(Shuts the Sketchbook)

A Gamer

Yoshi

The same Dino who cared for Mario and Luigi as babies!

One of the only Yoshi's who can speak English, as well as Yoshi!

Give him an apple and he'll love you forever. I'm being serious.

He likes relaxing a lot.

Also lives with Mario, Luigi, and the Toads, but has his own house in case he needs some peace and quiet.

Wants to be friends with Kamek. Desperately.

Has a Shy Guy friend named Shy. This Shy Guy is the same Guy who you're able to play as in the Spinoff Titles.

Toad

Loyal and Adorable!

Tries to keep his voice down as he knows how loud it can get

Also suffers from low self-esteem due to said voice

The same Toad from the Mario Spinoffs and Wario's Woods.

To differentiate himself from other Toads, he gave himself the name, Trevor.

Mario and Luigi are like brothers to him!

Yellow and Blue Toad are liked little brothers to him.

He likes Toadette, who reciprocates!

Captain Toad is he.

Wario

Not as rude as you think he is

DESPISES NFTS, EVEN HE KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY SUCK

That one good friend who may be disgusting but is better than everyone thinks

He's like a Dad to the kids who are in Diamond City. Specifically Penny Crygor and 8-Volt.

Him and Waluigi are brothers!

Knows how to make Bob-Ombs.

Good Friends with King Bob-Omb!

Weirdly, nobody is in his interest at the moment. (He doesn't like anyone in this point in time)

Master Treasure Hunter. He ends up running into a certain red echinda on occasion...

Waluigi

A laughingstock of the Mushroom Kingdom

Unironically friends with Luigi

Everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom who's in Smash actually want him in.

Master Dancer.

Does a bit of gardening! Where do you think he gets all those roses?

A bit much on occasion. Poor taste of humor.

He's aware of all the memes people have made about him...

Bowser

Father first, kidnapper later.

The Koopalings were adopted. Treats them like his own.

Spoils every single one of his kids.

He doesn't pick favorites, Kids or Minions.

Kamek is his adoptive father and Second in Command.

That one Dad Friend who's done a lot but you hang out with him anyways

Likes Spicy Food a lot!

Fury Bowser is still kinda...inside him. Please don't make him overly furious.

Bowser Jr.

Showers his siblings with love and gifts

Good Pals with the Broodals

That Clown Car of his is SENTIENT and he loves it

He's in, like, the 5th Grade.

Likes playing Video Games! Especially Switch titles.

So you know that one Orange Inkling in Smash? Jr. may or may not have a bit of a crush on her...

Coincidentally, she goes to the school he goes to. She just lives a few Kingdoms and Towns over.

Extra Careful with his Paintbrush nowadays due to the...Fury Bowser, incident.

Cares a lot more about Mario after he helped his Dad.

How the slashers would react to their S/O painting their nails

So sorry again for how slow I am these days! I promise I’m not ignoring anyone or haven’t forgotten! (also my confidence in my writing has once again plummeted so aslfkdj) I hope you all like this ^^ (if anyone has any character suggestions lemme know! Like horror characters and slashers. However if I end up adding more I might have to start splitting these up a bit!)

- Thomas might be hesitant at first, but the second you took his burly hand into your own, he'd melt

- You would get complete creative control — he wouldn't mind what colors you chose, and any worries of being teased by his family would disappear as he watched how eager you were 

- Seeing you so fixated on his hands would make him blush beneath his mask, though he would appreciate the opportunity to freely stare at you as you worked

- He'd smile to himself every time he looked at them, and would happily let you do it again (No one, even Hoyt, dares to tease him about anything relating to you after a certain point, knowing it’s off limits! So he’ll happily show them off. Luda Mae thinks it’s precious, but is also kind of salty that you haven’t offered to do hers lol)

Brahms:

- Brahms would take any affection and attention he could get, so the second you even suggested it he'd just sit down and put his hands out for you

- You wouldn't be able to stop smiling at how seriously he took it. He'd have a surprisingly good eye for color combinations, handing you the colors he liked and making you blush with how he focused on you

- He'd want to polish yours too: matching colors, of course (when you noticed this, you'd smile even wider, which would not go unnoticed by Brahms, who would smile in self satisfaction)

- This would probably become a regular thing. He’d adore anything like that, that made him feel close to you. Of course you have to match though! Or at the very least, coordinate 👉👈

Michael:

- Michael wouldn't really know how to react to you asking about it, to be honest. He wouldn't really mind, he'd just be kind of iffy about it

- It would probably take him a while to warm up to this (or pretty much anything) but he ~might~ allow it, since it's you

- If you reach for anything pastel or colorful he'd just take your hand to stop you and shake his head, causing you to have to hold back a laugh

- He wouldn't admit it, but he'd actually like how it looked. He'd forget about it, and would think of you every time he noticed them. He isn't really soft but he would be for you

Jason:

- You’d be going through your nail polishes when you’d gesture for him to come over and sit, offering to paint his nails

- He agrees of course! Like he’s gonna refuse anything you wanna do for him like that!...Although you’ll have to excuse his slightly crusty hands

- He always admires your own nail polish, thinking the colors are so pretty and cute. If you offer to let him pick out the colors he’ll just shake his head, knowing you’ll choose something nice 

You, reaching your hand to hold his while you polish: Okay, gimme your hand

Him, ~misunderstanding~: *takes your hand as if to hold it* 

You: 🥺🥺🥺

(A bonus thought that you might disagree with: if you’d been in a relationship with Jason for a while, he’d begin to pick up on his own cuteness. Or at least, what you think is cute. And he’d take advantage of it, if only to make you smile. Also, he secretly loves the effect he has on you alsdkfj) 

Bubba:

- Bubba would love this. He'd carefully watch and learn, already planning on doing yours too

- If you hold his hand while you do it his stomach would be full of butterflies, cheeks all pink beneath his mask. He adores when you’re soft with him like that

- He'd probably chip them up really quickly, to his own dismay. When he would notice, he'd want them done again asap, as they'd remind him of you

- You would melt when he did yours. He hold your hand close to his face, focusing intently and going slowly to make sure it was perfect

Chop Top:

- It would probably be his idea to be honest. He'd see you doing your nails and would excitedly pester you about it until you did his, too

- You end up getting ~playfully~ annoyed, as he'd keep pulling his hands away to look and would keep changing his mind on what colors to use

- Eventually you just snatch his hand and hold it still so you can finish. He'd stop whatever he was saying with a nervous laugh, getting surprisingly flustered at you being like that with him 

- He'd be another that would paint yours, too, trying his best to pick colors that would suit you. He'd adore his, and would want to impress you by doing his best!

Nubbins:

- Nubbins would see you doing your own nails and wouldn’t even give you the opportunity to offer to do his. He’d just pick up a random color and would start doing it himself (badly)

- You don’t really notice at first but after a while you glance up and chuckle at what a sloppy job he’s done, prompting him to smile at you so sweetly that you don’t even say anything about it

- Instead, you just gesture for him to hand it over, which he happily does. You can’t help but smile at how delicately he drapes his hands into your own, allowing you to fix his mistakes and finish it 

- Once you’re done he’ll continue holding your hand, too. Good luck getting unlatched for a bit. Nubbins will use any excuse he can to be close to you (tbh he doesn’t need an excuse but if he has one he’ll use it) 

Beetlejuice:

- Beetlejuice would probably tease you for suggesting it, despite the fact that he'd be choosing his colors as he did 

- Spooky colors only, of course! Neon purple, black, green, things like that. He'd love it, tbh

- He'd be flirting with you the entire time, enjoying the close proximity as he could watch your face flush as he spoke

- Despite his teasing, he'd actually enjoy things like that a lot. He'd love that you wanted to do things like that for him, feeling all special and cared for

Candyman:

- Daniel would probably seem a little indifferent to it at first, although he would enjoy seeing you dote over him like that

- He'd smile to himself as he watched you carefully pick colors, refraining from suggesting anything because he'd want to see what you thought would suit him

- He makes you melt the whole time, his hand gently draped over yours as you try to ignore his intense gaze, gnawing at your lip all the while

- He would unintentionally show them off *a lot*, showing off his hand way more than he normally would. You'd have to hold back smiles as you noticed, finding it so sweet

Bo:

- Sort of like Beetlejuice in that he'd tease you and act playfully annoyed like, "You want to paint my nails? Pfft, I don't know..." (he says, while sitting down and stretching his hands across the table for you) 

- Isn't really paying attention (or so he'd have you think), just looking around or closing his eyes while you polished away, occasionally glancing over to see what you were up to when he thought you weren't looking

- If Bo liked you, he'd pretty much go with anything tbh. You could paint his nails the softest, brightest colors and he wouldn't even really have the heart to gripe about it, seeing you all smiley over it 

- Will be all smiley himself anytime he looks at them, but if someone else notices (besides you) he'll shoot them a death glare

Vincent:

- You wanna paint his nails? Okay! He has no hesitation whatsoever and will ask no questions — if you want to, you can 

- You’re so cute to him and he loves your attention, anything you want to do like that he’ll allow. If you want to do his nails, brush/play with his hair, or anything like that, you can! In fact, please do 🥺

- Will be smiling the whole time behind his mask, happily suggesting colors if you ask. He’ll end up with cute and sparkly rainbow nails because you both keep finding different colors you like

- He would do yours, too. All the colors you couldn’t fit on his hands will go on yours! You both have equally colorful nails that will be teased by Bo and Lester, who are both secretly envious of Vincent (plz do their nails too)

Lester:

- When you asked if you could polish his nails, he'd immediately light up, loving the idea of it but quickly getting shy

- He'd disappear for a second so he could go scrub his hands and make them as clean and pretty as possible for you 

- He'd be kinda nervous?? His eyes would be flickering back and forth between your face and his hands, smiling as he watched you

- Little things like this would make his heart flutter endlessly, and he'd try so hard to keep them all tidy and unchipped. (This would result in him being ridiculously delicate with everything he touched) He'd love them no matter what colors you chose!

Graverobber:

- Graverobber has some clammy, crusty hands, (I mean, he hangs out in dumpsters) so beware. Still, if you offer to paint his nails, he’ll just lazily offer up his hands without a second thought

- Watches you the whole time with a satisfied smile. Anytime you glance up and catch him, he’ll give you a look that somehow manages to be both sheepish and smug, wiggling his eyebrow to make you laugh

- He'd smile every time he looked at them, thinking of you. You’d match them to the streaks in his hair which makes him just :o !! Will show them off a lot too

- He'd wear them until they were completely chipped up (which wouldn’t take long), patiently hoping you'd offer to do them again

Luigi:

- Luigi would initially agree with no complaints, but chances are you’ll only get a few nails done before he gets impatient 

- He feels kind of bad about it later, though, seeing them unfinished and smiling a bit as they reminded him of you. If he’s in a grouchy mood he’ll ease up right away when he sees them

- He’ll let you finish later, though not without some amount of awkwardness, as he’d be embarrassed to bring it back up 

- Of course, you’re happy to do it though! You snatch his hands right up and get to work, choosing colors such as black, red and white. He’d smile the whole time he watched you. His expression would change freakishly fast if someone interrupted, though

Pavi:

- He probably paints his nails anyways, but he’d always be happy to be doted over by you, so of course he’ll accept your offer!

- If you offer while he’s already wearing nail polish he’ll quickly run off and remove it so you won’t change your mind 

- Compliments you the whole time, even if you’re just messing around. You end up giggling the whole time at how extra he is, calling you an artist and talented and actually making you blush quite a bit with how sincere he was about it

- Shows his nails off endlessly, staring at them constantly and making it a point to be as showy with his hands as possible. The moment they chip he’ll be so over-the-top dramatic, only feeling better once you’ve redone them (you will forever be Pavi’s manicurist from then on, sigh) 

Billy Lenz:

- Probably confused by it, but he'd be happy to give it a try. He'd watch you intently the entire time, saying very little

- ...Which would result in you getting nervous, low-key trying to rush through it and accidentally messing one or two up (Cue Billy looking at you like smh, Y/N, smh...)

- He’s only messing though, he genuinely couldn’t care less about it really. You could be painting his whole finger and he doesn’t even mind because he’s more focused on you and the fact that you’re doing something like that for him

- He is unused to being treated like this so he never really knows how to react. Any kind of looking after will always be met with some amount of nervousness, though he adores it. Will retreat to the attic afterwards and just stare at his nails like 🥺 (Even the messy ones! Especially the messy ones tbh)

Asa Emory (The Collector):

- He'd agree to you doing his nails so quickly that you'd actually be shocked, not expecting compliance at all. He'd offer up his hands so willingly that your jaw would almost hit the floor

- Nothing flashy! He just wants tidy, pretty nails. He's very sure about what he wants, which would almost make you laugh, as he'd be quite assertive about it

- Needless to say, he'd stare at you intently the whole time, lips twisted into a small but wicked smile as he noticed your cheeks flushing and eyes refusing to meet his

- He'll do yours too, of course. You have to bite your lip the whole time to keep yourself from smiling because he’s so meticulous. He’ll carefully choose a color, eyeing you for approval before pulling your hand close to his face, seriously and slowly polishing each nail 

Otis Driftwood:

- Otis will absent-mindedly swat your hand away when you try to do his nails. However, when he glanced over to see you frowning at his grouchiness, he’ll feel bad and will just roll his eyes as he gives up his hands

- Will complain the whole time though. It smells! It’s cold! Stop squeezing my hand! (Tbh he loves these kinds of gestures, but he’s guarded, to put it simply, so he doesn’t know how to deal with it. So, he’ll gripe, all while staring at you lovingly when you aren’t looking)  

- You end up using simple colors such as black and white, and he would end up liking it much better than he thought he would. In fact, he’d want you to do it again in the future, but would be too embarrassed about his complaining to ask

- You’re going to have to give the whole family manicures now too though, especially Baby (honestly probably pedicures too? They’d get greedy lol)
