They'd been on many little excursions, both with and without other friends to accompany them. But one thing was certain: Luigi and Daisy seemed to go off with each other more and more frequently.
It was obvious they were each quite fond of one another...or rather something more than just "fond."
Honestly, Luigi was completely smitten with Daisy. Her brashness, her confidence, her bravery... it all left him completely enamored.
So much so that he felt he didn't have the moxie to openly proclaim his adoration to her for the fear of pushing her away. If only he could muster up the courage to open his heart to her. As much as it hurt him, he'd decided not to get his hopes up of ever truly winning her over. It'd be best to keep his mouth shut on the matter.
.....
Little did he know, she had her own thoughts to share on their situation...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luigi swallowed the growing lump in his throat. Crap, this wasn't right at all! Had he really given the impression that he was disinterested in her? It never occurred to him that she might read his attempt at modesty as a rebuttal of affections. As difficult as it was, he listened patiently as she continued.
"Then again, I know you're shy and soft spoken. Heh, hell, that's honestly one of the things I love about you. You're this sweet, sensitive, all around genuine fella... That's not something I've seen very often. That's part of what drew me to you..."
"But.... I've also noticed you seem to try to accommodate other's needs and wants... Even if it takes away from you, yourself... The last thing I'd want to do is take advantage of that. I absolutely do NOT want to drag you into something you're not interested in. So I-... I-I guess what I'm trying to say is that... I want to know your true feelings... I'd like to know formally if you'd actually..," she paused, biting her lower lip almost bashfully, "want to be in a relationship with me..."
His heart sank with every word that came out of her mouth. Because his feelings for her WERE very strong... So strong that he wasn't entirely sure how to express them verbally. Sure he hadn't made blatant statements of his affection out loud, but his reasoning was simply that...
He never actually thought his feelings would be reciprocated.
And so he kept those feelings inside, to not be known by anyone but himself. Granted, his brother could read him like a book(and vice versa), but to her? His silence was just that; Silence. Meaning now he had to clarify what his true thoughts were about this spitfire of a lady he'd grown to swoon over.
A task easier said than done.
"So please, Luigi... Spare my feelings. And be honest. How do you really feel... about me?.."
Tumblr media
He steeled himself as he tried to think of how he wanted to word what he had to say.
"Princess, I-"
"Just Daisy."
"I- Uh?.."
She shifted her stance uncomfortably. "We're way past formalities, aren't we? Please just call me by my name."
Luigi nodded. "Y-yes, yes, you're right." He took a second to clear his throat. "Daisy... I know I've not been very, eh... Direct with you. A-And I'm so sorry for that. I never, NEVER meant to make you think that I don't enjoy your company... I actually enjoy it a lot, honestly."
He fidgeted in place for a moment, trying to assess the vibe of the space they occupied. Daisy remained in her guarded position, brows still furrowed ever slightly. A shiver went down his spine.
'The way she can intimidate a person by looks alone... What a woman~💞' he thought, briefly.
"You have this, ah...," he gestured his hands in a circle motion as he tried to think of the word, "I don't know... this presence about you that is so strong, so fierce... A-And you have this passion for living life to the fullest, facing everything head on without fear... I may not be saying this correctly but..."
"...."
"You're one of a kind, Daisy. Deserving of so much more than... than an awkward tinker that doesn't know what he's talking about... I could never imagine that someone as amazing as you are... would settle for a klutz like me..."
Her expression softened as she uncrossed her arms. "You're not a ''klutz,'' Luigi..," she chuckled, "I mean, you might be a little clumsy, maybe a little awkward, but that's not a bad thing. If anything, I find it endearing. I like that you're not perfect." She smiled up at him fondly. "... that you're authentically yourself. That's more than enough for me."
Luigi's face flushed at that last statement. It took him a second to realize he'd gone silent again. He cleared his throat again. "Okay... rambling over... You deserve to hear what I've neglected to tell you."
"And that is..?" Daisy quietly asked, eyes wide in anticipation.
Taking a long, deep breath, he gingerly placed his hands on her shoulders. He tried desperately to swallow his nerves.
"Prin- Ah-... Daisy. I... I..."
He could feel the color rush to his cheeks as he sputtered. He panicked. Why NOW of all times was he drawing a blank?
"I... I uh..."
Daisy's intense, waiting gaze didn't quite help his nerves. If anything, it made it so much harder to speak his mind.
'SAY SOMETHING YOU FOOL!!' he screamed at himself internally. There had to be some way to convey his feelings clearly!
"Um...."
......
Before he could think, his hand gently traveled up her arm, past her shoulder until it caressed her face...
and then-
Tumblr media
His heart raced. The rush of sheer bliss that clouded his mind was unreal. To hold the woman he adored so close, so intimately was.... pure ecstasy~
But all too soon he suddenly snapped back to himself.... 'Oh no... Oh no! Did I overstep?? Was this unwarranted?? What have I done?? She's gonna be so angry with me!! I have to apologize!! Oh stars, I've ruined everything!!' his mind was flooded with thoughts of regret and embarrassment.
But before he could pull away to explain himself, to express how ashamed he was... he felt her warm hands resting atop of his wrists, steadying them. Glancing up momentarily, he realized she was leaning her weight ever so slightly into him as her soft lips pressed against his own.
She was... Kissing him back?
Huh... Maybe This was the right call after all?
His eyelids slid closed and he allowed himself to enjoy the intimate moment.
Tumblr media
They stayed like that for what felt like an eternity.
After a few moments, Luigi finally pulled back to look her in the eyes. With a new vigor in his demeanor, he knew exactly the words that truly described his feelings for the princess of Sarasaland.
"I love you, Daisy..."
In wonderment, she stared back at him. Then a sweet, yet sly smirk crept across her lips. "Well I'm glad the feeling's mutual... cuz I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't kiss you like that again~💕"
It seemed that FINALLY, their relationship could officially be considered solidified❤️

The Trials of Confession
Luigi x Reader
Tumblr media
It was a beautiful day in the mushroom kingdom, birds chirping, a gentle breeze, a sweet smell in the air. Not that this meant anything to Luigi, he wouldn’t have noticed if he was in the middle of a hurricane. Which he might as well be given all his swirling thoughts. He was working himself into such a state of panic that his knees were knocking together and his teeth were even chattering. His unfortunately infamous nerves running high. But, he was going to be brave today! He wasn’t going to let his fear get the best of him today! No sir! He had something important to do! And it was absolutely terrifying… He’s going to tell (Y/n) just how he feels about her! And when he’s done he’s going to kiss her right on the lips! … or maybe the cheek? Or forehead? Maybe he would just wait for her to kiss him… but… what if she doesn’t want to kiss him? Or if she doesn’t like him at all?! And she was just being nice to him as a friend?! or because of his brother… What if she says no?! Oh no, oh dear, no, no, no-
Luigi shook his head, knocking himself out of his negative spiral. He had decided to tell her how he felt, (hopefully followed by a date) this very day. He’s not gonna let his worries get in the way! It was why he was even in the mushroom kingdom today; she was supposed to be at the Sweet Spore Corner. Courtesy of his brother, who had asked (Y/n) to run and grab some pastries for a fictional tea party the Peach was having. Which left Luigi to “accidentally” run into (Y/n) and hopefully ask her out on a date.
Before he knew it his feet were at the little straw polka dotted welcome mat in front of the bakery. Oh dear, his legs were shaking again… Luigi looked through the glass door, spying (Y/n) waiting at a table. Sunlight bouncing off her hair, illuminating her beautiful complexion, her eyes sparkling, putting the gems in Peaches crown to shame… Luigi sighed in adoration, before catching himself. Taking a deep breath, and walking inside. Which he did rather stiffly, over to the table (Y/n) had perched herself at. He waited by her side for a moment before tapping her shoulder. (Y/n) jumped, turning to Luigi. Her shocked expression melting into a warm smile. Oh ho ho, that made him weak in the knees… Luigi shook his head, focus!
         “Eh, he-hello (Y/n).” He said, shifting side to side.
“Hey Luigi! Fancy seeing you here.” She said chuckling a bit.
         Luigi could only manage a nervous chuckle himself. Certain his whole face was a shade of pink. If (Y/n) noticed she didn’t say anything, how kind of her…
         “(Y/n), there’s something I need to tell you.” He said, squaring his shoulders and taking a deep breath, “I-“
         But just as he was about to do it, a loud, high-pitched scream sounded through Toad Town.
         “MY HAAAT!!”
         Luigi stiffened; he was so close! But he moved quickly when more cries of lost hats and clothing, along with the screes of a condor, rose in both volume and frequency. As Luigi bolted out the door it was just what he feared, Klepto was stealing all of the hats off of the heads of the toads. Leaving wailing, little, bald heads behind him. Luigi, unlike his brother, didn't spring into immediate action. Instead choosing to observe the situation carefully, watching as Klepto snatched a poor toads’ washing off the line, lifting high into the air and dropping the clothes on top of a large birds’ nest located at the top of one of the many giant mushrooms inhabiting the kingdom. About a half-mile from Toad Town itself. With this knowledge in toe, he got down to business. A well-timed jump, a swift kick and Klepto was taken down. Crashing to the ground, Luigi leaving him to the town guards. Running over to the giant mushroom, and taking two large jumps on the smaller mushrooms around it to get the height he needed to land atop the nest. Finding a rather sizable pile of toad laundry, and hats. As he didn’t really have anything to put the clothes in he just ended up tossing them over the side of the mushroom. Looking over the edge of the cap just to see where the stolen goods had fallen. His heart gave a mighty jump, because down there gathering all the little mushroom caps, and clothes, was (Y/n)! Well poor Luigi got startled so bad he fell right off the big fungus.
         "THWUMP!"
(Y/n) ran over to him, "Luigi!! Are you alright? That was quite a fall!" She said lifting him up and dusting him off a bit.
"Ow… uh yeah, I'm okay!" Luigi, said. It was so sweet of her to worry over him. Though it was a little embarrassing to have her see him take a fall like that.
He couldn't help the blush that crept up his neck, just hoping that (Y/n) didn't notice. If she did, she didn't say anything.
"We-" Luigi coughed to mask his voice crack, "Well, let's get this stuff back to the toads."
“Yeah, the toads look pretty strange without their hats…” (Y/n) said, a gorgeous laugh falling from her kissable… lips…
Luigi smacked himself back to reality, he had to focus! No goo goo eyes! He heard a little chuckle beside him. Electing to ignore it, he gathered up the laundry in a bundle. (Y/n) took about half the pile from his arms, with a shrug and a little 'might as well help'. With that they set off towards Toad Town, shooting the breeze as they went. Once they reached town starting to hand back the laundry to the toads. Once they had nearly finished Luigi managed to remember his whole reason for coming out to Toad Town.
“Hey, eh- (Y/n) I hav-” But before Luigi could get out another syllable, the ground began to rumble.
This made all the toads murmur fearfully, and with a final thundering shake the fountain in the town square went from its pristine blue, to a slimy, technicolor goop. Which naturally kicked the toads back into a frenzy. Though what made it far worse was the addition of goobles popping out of the goop from the fountain. Chasing after the toads, jumping and popping on any that didn’t get far enough away in time. Luigi let out an annoyed huff, he did NOT want to deal with this. This kind of problem would need to the help of F.L.U.D.D. which if he remembers correctly was back on Isle Delfino, in pieces… Then he heard (Y/n)’s voice.
“Luigi! Get over here! I’ve got an idea.” She said, fiddling around with a nearby fire hydrant.
Of course! Use the firehose as a high-power washer! (Y/n) was so smart… Luigi thought has he scampered over, dodging goobles and the occasional frantic toad.
“You can use the fire hydrant to wash away the goop!” Luigi said excitedly.
“Exactly! We’re pretty in sync aren’t we?” She said with a breezy laugh. Her (e/c) eyes glinting with joy. “But we need someone to find where this stuff is coming from, or we’ll be here all day!”
“On it!” Luigi said, happy he could help (Y/n).
So off Luigi went, his search taking him all the way to the underground tunnels, where he found Bowser Jr. messing around with professor E. Gadd’s paint brush again. After knocking some sense into the kid, and confiscating the brush. Luigi made his way back to Toad Town square. Hoping that (Y/n) hadn’t gone back to Peach’s castle yet. Breathing a sigh of relief that she was still helping clean up the square. He couldn’t help running over to meet her.
“(Y/n)! I’m so glad you’re still here! I-” But Luigi was interrupted again!
“Help! Help me!” Cried a desperate child-like voice. It was a luma! What was a luma doing all the way out here?
Luigi groaned in frustration, unable to help it at this point, pulling his hat over his eyes hoping the luma would just disappear when he uncovered them.
“Oh dear, what’s the matter?” Asked the sweet angelic voice Luigi knew so well.
“I’m lost! I can’t find my way back home!” Cried the luma, bursting into tears.
“Well don’t worry I’m sure Princess Peach can help you find a way back to the observatory! I’ll take you to her castle.” Said (Y/n), taking the little luma by the hand.
Well, now he’ll never get to tell her. It was like the universe itself was against Luigi today. He slumped with a sigh, kicking some dirt with the toe of his shoe. Trudging after (Y/n) and the luma. Keeping his eyes to the ground until they reached the castle. (Y/n) knocking on the large doors, and hearing no response she then guided them around to a smaller door next to the large decorative ones. (Y/n) opening the door, starting to walk in when the door was slammed right into her nose.
“Ouch!” cried (Y/n), red starting to drip from her nose.
Luigi’s blood boiled, who ever was messing around in Peaches had just hurt (Y/n)!
It. Was. The. Last. Straw.
Luigi couldn’t stand it anymore!
“I have HAD IT WITH TODAY!!” Luigi bellowed. Stomping up to the small castle door. Slamming the door open flattening the boo behind it.
 He yanked out his flashlight, stunning any boo or ghost he ran into until he made it to his guest room in the castle, snatching the extra Poltergust from his closet. Flying into a ghost busting frenzy. Sucking, and stunning, boo’s and specters, left and right. When he got to the last couple is when he let out a few things that he didn’t really intend to.
“I’m!” Shoop! One more boo down nine to go.
“Sick!” Shoop! eight.
“And tired!” Shoop! seven.
“Of getting interrupted!” Shoop! six.
“Each time!” Shoop! five.
“I try!” Shoop! four.
“To tell!” Shoop! three.
“(Y/n)!” Shoop! two.
“I love her!” Shoop! one.
“And the first time I actually manage to get the courage to tell her this, I KEEP GETTING INTERRUPTED!!” Luigi screams the last part, punctuating it by yanking his hat off his head and giving it a good stomp. Falling over on the floor himself afterward.
“Well, the delivery was definitely… interesting. I was wondering when you say anything.” (Y/n) said, walking up to where Luigi lay. Giving him a peck on the cheek, and pulling him up from the floor.
Luigi, fully realizing that he had managed to say all of that OUT LOUD, nearly turned maroon. Only managing to whisper.
“Y-yo-you already knew ?”
“Of course, I did, Mario asking me to get pastries for a tea party I never got the invitation too? And he was a little insistent about just running an errand for him… Also that it had something to do with "giving you a shot" ” She said the smile never leaving her face.
Luigi sighed, of course Mario couldn’t be subtle to save his life… He stood, dusting himself off.
“Why don’t we head to Sweet Spore Corner, I think a date is in order for all that sweet stuff you’ve done for me and the kingdom today.” Said (Y/n), giving Luigi a peck on the cheek.
“o-ok” Luigi said, before promptly fainting into (Y/n)’s arms. Who couldn’t help but crack a grin at the actions of her beloved plumber.

Inspired by @itsavee4117 and @silenzahra “Cold place, warm hearts” part 5 TW freezing.
Lumalee sighed “you two are a lot of work, you know that?” He grunted before spinning around. The more he spun, the brighter he glowed “alright that should do it” Lumalee muttered as Mario looked up. He suddenly felt a brief moment of warmth cover his body, though only for a second, Mario deeply appreciated it. He looked down to see that, in middle of his chest, to the left slightly was a glowing, slightly pulsating light. Mario looked up at Lumalee confused then widened his eyes as he saw other balls of light appearing throughout the snow, some of them were moving place to place, others remained still in place, the only movement coming from the light pulsating within. “Wha-“ Mario started “what is this?” Mario asked, quickly taking a breath when he realised he’d been holding it. “Their warmth” Lumalee said sounding tired. “Many creatures that live around here are warm, but they’re much better suited to this environment so they have a brighter glow.” The Biddybud from before reappeared, this time accompanied by a green one, had their whole bodies covered in a warm glow. As they walked past them Mario looked up to Lumalee only to realise that wherever Lumalee’s blue light could reach, it would mark all things underground, kinda like a- “a radar!” Mario cried in a shouting whisper. Lumalee smiled “finally you get it!” Lumalee scoffed “if you can’t find his glow anywhere, you better prey to Mamma that it’s just because he’s small!” Lumalee said nearly shouting at the end. Mario stared “L-Lumalee.... you do care!” Mario smiled “eh not really...” Lumalee scoffed “his fear and hopelessness entertained me while I was in the cage. Consider this as payment for the show.” Lumalee said with a wink. Mario couldn’t help but smile at Lumalee briefly before getting to work on scanning the lights in the snow. He primarily focused on the small ones, Luigi was most likely still small. Meanwhile Lumalee searched a bit up ahead, shining his light in dark cornered places. Mario froze when something caught his eye, there just ahead him, maybe only a few feet away was a light, the size of the tip of a pin, barely visible, the lights then disappeared. Not taking his eyes off that spot, with a horrible gut feeling rising in his chest, he reached out for Lumalee “Lumalee why did you-“ Lumalee appeared in front of him “my powers aren’t infinite!” He explained “it’ll take time to charge it back up....” without another word, Mario pushed passed him, brushing away the snow as he slid in that direction. Finally. He felt something. Small, soft and squishy. Mario’s smile grew bigger when he saw a familiar green shirt and blue overalls. Luigi. Mario let out an almost sobbing laugh as he nuzzled his brother to his cheek. Mario pulled back in shock, Luigi was ice cold, his skin blue, his eyes closed and his body, if it weren’t for the blizzards now dying down winds, he would probably seem completely motionless. Mario’s breath hitched as he pressed his pinkie to Luigi’s small chest, he was to small to feel anything and when Mario put his finger under his nose, he couldn’t tell if it was Luigi breathing or the wind around them, Mario could only hope. He picked Luigi’s hat up and put it on Lumalee, Lumalee looked up confused “warm yourself up. Get your powers back” Mario smiled. Lumalee seemed hesitant at first but then gave in and simply nodded. Mario quickly unbuttoned his collar and very gently slid Luigi down his chest. Mario gasped then winced when he felt his “little” brother slide down like an ice cube to his chest. Mario’s heart was pounding, adrenaline still coursing through his veins, he hoped it was enough to warm Luigi up. Mario was so focused on Luigi he didn’t even realise his body went on autopilot, his legs carrying him to the frosty warp pipe. Lumalee smiled as if to say ‘well bye!’ But instead Mario scooped him up along with Luigi’s hat. A silent plea to come with him and take turns watching Luigi. Lumalee rolled his eyes with a sigh and nodded. Mario smiled back grateful and they hopped into the warp pipe together. -to be continued.

Samus: - and then the guy got stabbed. And that's why I work solo.
Olimar: And simply from trying to sing karaoke. That's quite harsh.
Samus: Eh, you learn to deal with it after the third guy. Actually, now that were talking coworkers, I've always wondered.
Olimar: What, do you mean Louie?
Samus: Yeah, the dollar store Luigi. I always wondered why he wasn't your alt in Smash. Sure, Alph deserves the spot, but Louie came first, right?
Olimar: Ah, yes. Funny story, we were actually considering bringing Louie with me back when I was first added. But we had concerns, and we decided against it.
Samus: What kind of concerns?
Olimar: Well, see, I have this Piklopedia, were I gather notes about the local wildlife of PNF-404. Louie also had his own notes, but instead of notations of their behaviours and biological attributes, it was how best to cook them.
Samus: I see where this is going now. They were worried he might hurt himself trying to eat some of the Smashers?
Olimar: Well, something along those lines. It isn't so much we were worried of him getting hurt, he managed well enough on his own when I accidentaly left him on PNF-404.
Olimar: What we were concerned about was not just that he would try to eat some of the smashers. We were concerned he would try, and we would never find out he did.
Samus: That... is definitely concerning.
Olimar: It is. To this day, I still hesitate opening the Piklopedia in fear I will find a note of his on how to eat a Pikachu.

2 and 11 for your Mario S/I!!
Thankyou very much for asking!!!!!
My Mario S/I ref can be found Here and Info Here
2. How similar is your s/i to you? Are they a carbon copy, completely different or a mix of the two?
A lot of my S/Is are just straight me with a little idealization and a little warping due to just the nature of growing up somewhere different.
For my Mario S/I, he's a lot smarter than me, which isn't to say irl me is dumb, just not very good at retaining information, or using it to further a conclusion. My Mario S/I is, and is also very passionate about learning about the new world he lands in. (I like to think if I got isekaied I would be too but who knows)
He shares my special interest in Mushrooms, a lot of my taste in games, Bulling as a Love Language, Generally Chill Go with the Flow personality type, Fear of Bees, and a handful of other small traits that I don't wanna list too long.
He handles a bad situation way better than me. Like I said he's better at rationalizing and drawing conclusions, he's a lot more calm in a high stakes situation, good at talking something down, and reacting quickly to chaos.
For example in the events that'd be eventually rewritten as Paper Mario, Emile was the one to throw Luigi out of the castle, as he hung behind to find Toadsworth. He talks Bowser into instead of shoving him in the prison in his own castle to instead let him stay in his own room is the castle, and spends the rest of the game slowly sneaking all the trapped Toads out of said prison and back to his room until Mario storms the castle and saves them. I could never do all that, but he could, because he's cool under pressure and smooth with his words.
Side note this is also how my Mario S/I gets top surgery; He takes a very neutral stance to most schemes Bowser does, so when he was brought to Bowser for sneaking around the castle, and learned he had the Star Rod, he asked if he could get a wish, sense that's what the thing's for anyway. Bowser agreed as long as it wasn't something stupid like "I wish Mario had the power to defeat Bowser". "I wish for Top Surgery" is considered a Selfish wish by the Star Spirits and would never be granted, but Bowser did it, cause why not. He loves a selfish wish and is very Trans Rights
11. Does you s/i have one outfit they're always seen in or multiple?
He does have multiple outfits! Like Mario and Luigi he has all kinds of fits for different activities, not sports he doesn't do those, but like, Casual Wear and such. I actually drew us in a bunch of outfits you can see Here!
Though also like Mario and Luigi, I do typically just stick him in the Overalls look, for consistency sake. Either that or the basic Sona outfit of Big Orange Sweater
Oh! But actually a while ago I drew him in a few of my favorite Power Ups from the Main Series, I never posted it cause the image was more long than wide, and the sketches were pretty Eh in my opinion, but I'll post them now just for the sake of putting out all my art, even the stuff I'm not the proudest of.
Tumblr media
The main concepts are his eyes and freckles change color to match the power ups, though he doesn't use them all that often sense he's an Adviser and not typically in any kind of direct line.
#Thankyou for asking#Long post#oh wait now I have to give it the#Emile's Arts#tag#aaaaaaaaugh man#Sorry this got so long this is PEAK brainrot as I've shown#I love you Bee Suit you're so cute and also I Hate you Bee Suit the buzzing hurts me so physically#A LOT of my S/Is are either Me but able to Fully use their Brains or Me but Able to lift a truck with one arm#That's it that's the self insert a good 90% of the time#I have a lot of Medical Field Idealization I think if I was able to Process better I would have a Doctorate#But because I'm kinda pea brained and have poor processing and struggle to retain information I can't#Also getting a Doctorate is VERY expensive??? I could never#So a good portion of my S/Is are Doctors in some way or another#Some gender of Mad Scientist#This will include this S/I he may not actually be a Doctor per say but he could he's very smart#Again I'm not irl stupid or nothin just really reeeeeeeeally slow#And they don't like that in public school how dare you struggle to memorize 9 subjects at once#Anyway!!!!#Thanks again for asking!!!!!#I looooooooove talking about my Mario S/I right now!!! It's a lot of fun!!!!!#ngl when I first made him despite it being the Mario Movie that pushed me to do it#I'd completely forgotten the Power Mechanic from the main games#fdkgjfdjgkfd I don't play the platformers I'm BAD AT THEM#VERY SLOW!! BAD HAND EYE COORDINATION!!! dfgjfdgdkfjgk#It took a different friend with a Mario S/I posting their S/I with power ups to remind me that was a thing

I'll Let the Seasons Change My Mind (4/10)
also on AO3
featuring: Bowser, Luigi
wordcount: 762
Tumblr media
Luigi can't help but wonder if the sensory room Bowser built was also partially an act of self care for himself— He can't say he'd blame the man, sometimes it's easier to do things when it's for other people, isn't it?
The thought doesn't come from thin air, whether it's true or not. The Koopa king, once feared among all the lands and kingdoms who knew of him, is now curled up comfortably on the soft ground, almost… purring in his sleep as Luigi threads his hands through his hair.
With it comes more questions; If some battles began as a result from frustration that he couldn't regulate, if the obsession with Peach was a 'favourite person' situation…
Is he Bowser's favourite person?
The thought flusters Luigi, having him draw in on himself despite the fact that the only person here that could notice or judge is currently very unconscious.
What a situation to be in… What if Peach's refusal is what had him keep coming back? What if Luigi's acceptance and more time spent together lead to the King being bored of him eventually, tossing him to the side in favor of someone new and better? He doesn't think it's hard for anyone to be better than him.
But then again— He could be the healthiest option, despite all his flaws. While Bowser has been very kind, creating this space… Luigi would have been happy without, all he wants is some company that'll actually care for what he has to say, listen to him. Bowser's proven himself more than capable of this, going out of his way to make the human comfortable.
Even if it's all some strange act, well, at least he'll have tangoed at all.
During all of this thinking and drawing in on himself, he's naturally ended up with his hands to himself again. Luigi can't help but force the slightest chuckle at the ridiculousness of it, head tilting when when he notices big red eyes slowly open to look at him.
"Ah, did I wake you up?"
Shaking his head, Bowser curls closer, letting out a content huff. Turns out Luigi makes a pretty decent living teddy bear— And who is the human to argue? "Could practically feel you overthinking… Purring is meant to make you relax, you know."
"It is?" Luigi titters. "I didn't know that… But I am relaxed. Look at me, eh?" He gestures vaguely to himself, happily slumped against the King. "Boneless as a Boo!"
That earns an amused brow raise. "I think I prefer you as a boneful Italian." Bowser decides, snout nuzzling against that soft cheek. "You must be comfortable. I'm surprised you didn't go home…"
"Did you want me to? I can—"
"Never." That rumbles out like more of a growl than a purr, tail coming around Luigi to prevent him from walking away— Before Bowser realises that's maybe not the greatest natural reaction, clearing his throat as he relaxes his body language again. Luigi, strange man that he is, hadn't even thought of moving a muscle anyhow, perfectly content where he is. "I apologise, I'm still learning."
"Not at all! I like that you enjoy my company so much." The Italian soothes, hands coming up to pet that snout. "But, while we're learning… We should talk, I think."
"Discuss a dowry?" Bowser predicts, tail back to a simple sway. "Easy; I will give you anything you want."
"No— I would only want you, anyway, so that's not even…" Luigi waves a hand nonchalantly, as if that isn't the most casual confession drop in the world. "Just us. And, maybe you can meet the parents, if you'd like."
"Humans too?"
"No, my father is a Shy Guy, and my mother, Cheep Cheep." Luigi answers, managing to keep a poker face for a grand total of 2.5 seconds before bursting into a fit of giggles. "Yes, both humans."
Narrowing his eyes, Bowser smiles, awkward and lopsided— And absolutely perfect. "You have a strange sense of humour. Is that common among humans?"
"Mm, all different tastes… Most of mine aren't common." He admits, before pulling finger guns. "I have an acquired taste." Smooth.
The King groans at that, playfully nudging Luigi to knock him over. He's just realises he's in love with a complete dork. "I think I hate you, actually."
"Yeah, yeah~" Luigi snickers, reaching to use Bowser's hand to pull himself back up. "So… Parents?"
"Parents." Bowser agrees, fixing Luigi's hat properly onto his head. "You're lucky Kamek's already taken a shine to you."
"I'm lucky to have you."

The Mario Brothers movie was fun! A little rushed, and Peach was... eh, but Luigi was an absolute bean, Chris Pratt as Mario wasn't nearly as distracting as i feared, Jack Black KILLED it as Bowser ofc, and overall it was a fun movie.
I'd give it a solid 7.5/10, would recommend!

MARIO BOXARTS RANKED BECAUSE ODYSSEY'S CAME UP IN A CONVERSATION WITH A FRIEND
also i'm just snipping tooling these from my backloggd mario list lol
Tumblr media
this is whatever! it's got donkey kong feet and the colours are fairly easy to look at and hey it does tell you what the game's about but also like eh, never been into this old ass artstyle, pauline has more focus than the playable character 
Tumblr media
good start to the real series! this trend in NES boxart where they'd show actual sprite art from the game so as to let you know what you're getting into is pretty cool and by now this pose is so recognisable that we just know straight away "yo this dude's JUMPIN like some kinda PLATFORMER", also they're not using Mario's usual design but instead fire mario which i kinda like because it's very contrasty and shit, good time all around
Tumblr media
what is this, what am i getting into, this could be fucking anything. mario's holding 2 fingers up because it's mario 2 but like what else am I supposed to get out of this. not a huge fan
Tumblr media
"Super Mario 2 Bros.: Mario Madness" ass graphic design what the hell, also Mario's front leg looks like it's coming out of his cock, never really lovedt his art, he has a turnip because you can pick up turnips and things in general which yeah that's showing off a central mechanic in the boxart which is good but otherwise ehhhhhhhhhhh
Tumblr media
super mario 3 bros ass graphic design, but this one's a lot more iconic and generally beloved, doesn't do much for me though other than show a new powerup off and one that sure does look like Mario's flying, woah this is bigger and better. Nice contrast in the background, generally nice art, but shrug
Tumblr media
Mario is completely flying here with a cool new cape and yo who the fuck is this absolute mount taking centre stage on the box? That's bold and different! Also from here onwards we've pretty much found the Mario logo design specifically, these colours and that font are still appearing today. Do think the background could stand to have slightly more going on though
Tumblr media
Mario is flying again, even more obviously, but now that we've made the leap to 3D we've got an actual 3D render instead of just 2D key art - even the logo and backgrounds and shit are 3D. This is Mario's big jump! Note that the earth is round as if to imply that this is Mario's largest and most open adventure yet. That goomba kinda fuck ugly though. General visuals are of the time but this one is still really good and entirely accomplishes what it set out to do
Tumblr media
red strip obscuring some of the art bothers me but this is pretty peak boxart, more than anything else it's just nice art that embodies the new visual style for this game alongside including tons of the game's unique and charming character designs - maybe doesn't quite get plot or even genre across but it sure as hell looks good so
Tumblr media
not a fan. it's Luigi which is a plus and he's clearly afraid and there are ghosts there and the logo's good but just none of these renders are all too good and Luigi's disembodied head and arms are kind of uncanny
Tumblr media
what even were they fuckin trying dude. Okay it's a fine Mario render and he's got a new tool to help him out, sure - thje logo is also solid even if it reads more as Super Mari Sunshine instead of Super Mario Sunshine - but it's the everything else. Hardly feels tropical other than the title, Delfino Isle is NOWHERE to be seen, and what in the actual fuck is that word art text circling around that you can't even fucking read. Epic failure.
Tumblr media
PEAK ALERT PEAK ALERT good god this art is amazing, goated as all hell art style with some of the best designs Mario and Luigi have ever had and a clearly colourful world with dangerous new foes in the background, sure! Just sick as hell
Tumblr media
closer to the game's actual art style than 64 was but otherwise kind of a step down to me - Mario is so in front of everyone else that their designs don't really shine as much as they could.
Tumblr media
I fear we have yet another complete fucking flop on our hands. These renders are surprisingly poor for the time and then the boxart itself accomplishes about 10 times less than the original game did. We're communicated that there's more playable characters now and we've lost everything else and even gained weird shitty motion blur on a static image to boot.
Tumblr media
colours aren't quite as easy on my eyes as those of Superstar saga but banger art and character designs still shine through, and hey all the babies are clearly here too that's cool, perhaps a bit busy tho
Tumblr media
now see I quite enjoy the art and think these renders are good enough by now to rep on a box art - said box art also shows off the mega mushroom super duper well in addition to a clear return to the 2D gameplay that's been gone or so long, but I also find this boxart weirdly deceptive lol? Namely in that Mario and Luigi can't exist simultaneously in the game except in multiplayer, but the multiplayer isn't enough of a focus for me to think "rep it on the boxart", so idk
Tumblr media
Paper Mario goes 3D which is communicated well here, and all our playable roster are here with nice artwork for everyone - even the support fairy things I forget the name of are flying around without being too distracting - looks nice really. Though I kinda think Count Bleck doesn't need to be there? Or if he is that he's moved around somewhat? Like he's weirdly distracting being positioned like that
Tumblr media
ladies and gentlemugs it is with great honour that I present to you actual kino - gorgeous as hell logo, super great render, and the core premise off the game laid out so beautifully that all you need to do is take even a glance at this box, and you know exactly what you're getting into. Space is pretty as hell, this boxart is pretty as hell, this game is pretty as hell, you just know from looking at this that you're in for an incredible time.
Tumblr media
okay now the Mario and Luigi series would adopt this general design sense going forward and I'm pretty eh on it, I like the new logo and the tiny Mario Bros walking on top of it, and hey all the art is still good, but like I don't think all this negative space really achieves anything and I think more could've been done
Tumblr media
now we go for a box I quite like, the red along the bottom is nice and appealing and then the main artwork showcases that we've got actual emphasised 4 player multiplayer now plus Yoshi plus at least one cool new powerup, ain't that sweet? Also some of the NSMB boxarts get a lil busy but I think this one is in the perfect zone of not too busy right now.
Tumblr media
once again I come bearing kino, in what's effectively just the Mario Galaxy boxart but with a different set of nice artwork and also with Yoshi, plus his powerups shown of throughout the background, very cool. I prefer the comparatively more simple Galaxy 1 boxart and I've never loved how 2 favoured light blue skies, but still really nice
Tumblr media
now this one is. nice. certainly shows off the titular 3D - and triples up on the return of the tanuki suit with both super leaf in the background and land having a tail and the goomba having a tail also. But eh idk there's not much of an identity here lol. it's just lots of "things that are in Mario"
Tumblr media
here's one that's also a "things that are in Mario" featuring a bonus misleading "are Mario and Luigi here because multiplayer?" visual, but the yellow patterned background stands out and the coin emphasis is there which is this game's main unique selling point, so yk it's decent
Tumblr media
I don't love this art style as much for Paper Mario but it's colourful, it has lots of stickers which is the name of the game, lots of random hosuehold objects in wacky Paper Mario style, like yeah no this is pretty solid
Tumblr media
okay now see this is where the nsmb covers just start throwing too much shit at you at once - there are 3 different types of yoshi all doing different things here and a piranha plant attacking luigi and a goomba that's bubbled up and yellow toad has the new powerup but the new powerup is also rolling out of a question mark block and it's like dude slow the fuck down man!
Tumblr media
now this one is obviously less iconic than the original Luigi's Mansion boxart but I do think placing more emphasis on the mansion and giving Luigi an actual body is a step up, though having a standard Mario boo there instead of the cool original ghosts is a lil sad
Tumblr media
god the more the series itself goes through fatigued the more I feel fatigue writing about it, but hey this is the final NSMB one so. It's whatever. Still a bit cluttered but mixed up the backgrounds at least. Eh. Logo design neat I suppose
Tumblr media
so continues aforementioned whatever trend and I still don't really like it - but suppose this one uses the space better than Bowser's Inside Story does. Once again new styled logo thing still cool
Tumblr media
shows off 3D and multiplayer fun and the new powerup in a nice way and there's more original iconography to the game so it's a step up from 3D Land, but also there being 2 of everyone still feels so weird lol
Tumblr media
peak as all hell, love the Mario design and the simple render gets across all that it needs to - construction ass yellow and the simple font gives it a homebuilt feel and it's very obvious what the game's actually about. Somehow they managed to communicate that without being super busy as well.
Tumblr media
I think this one technically uses more of the space than the other white background boxarts and it's neat that Paper Jam is in the Paper Mario font, but for a crossover like this I really think there needed to be more done lol, this just looks so dull and plain and shit
Tumblr media
this is a solid enough paper mario boxart, gets the main gimmick across pretty quickly without like overwhelming you on anything, doesn't evoke much else but it's fine
Tumblr media
now here is some absolute fucking PEAK dude, so immediately gets across exactly the theme the game is going for with an epic globetrotting adventure, photograph aesthetic just gives this a travel log vibe and all the different world designs and costumes and core mechanics are conveyed super well, it also managed all that while being really easy to read and shit, just an absolute W all around
Tumblr media
kind of feels like a linear downgrade from Maker 1 tbh - like the art is more expressive and Luigi is here which is a plus - the game actually supports multiplayer too so you're not being misled. But I think Maker 1 was just a little more elegant and immediate in getting across what the game is actually about.
Tumblr media
would call this my favourite of the Luigi's Mansion boxarts despite not even having ghosts - cause hey it has a pretty neat mansion and Luigi is doing a good expression and he has a body still and also Gooigi is in there, I'm about it, just looks good
Tumblr media
pretty fuckin weak ngl! It's kinda just "here's paper mario characters lol" with the origami gimmick only occupying a corner of the screen that your eyes just aren't drawn to. Just doesn't hit
Tumblr media
last off! this. it looks cool! fucknig gigantic kaiju bowser. he's important enough to take centre stage in the boxart and the game reflects that. he's so out of control that even his own son is teaming up with you to stop him. I'm about it.
anyway done thanks for reading

You ever think about how lonely life must be for ordinary people that became powerful warriors because of how the situation played out around them? How many nights they must spend staring at the ceiling, asking if they ever had a choice? The disconnect they must feel from even their closest friends and family, because no one could feel the same pain that they do? The deafening cheers of the people that knows nothing about them, save for their heroics?
A one man army can only fight for so long. And when they grow old or die on the job, there might not be someone that can take their place. In the place of a mid afternoon nap in the sun, there is a constant, quiet apology to those they care for that they might never come home every single time they fight. A fear that they might die anytime they leave their house because of how dangerous the world is becoming.
For us, it’s only a fiction. We close the book or turn off the game once the heroics are done, but the story continues for them regardless. It’s their reality, and they can’t just hit the pause button. It between the heroics we see, I wonder if those heroes and villains feel doubt, self loathing or endless tears. If they go days at a time with sleepless nights, afraid to close their eyes.

So, the fandom all joked about how Ridley was too tall to be in Super Smash Bros, but I think we should remember that Kirby is canonically 8 inches call, and even though Meta Knight is an adult version of Kirby’s species, he doesn’t appear to be very tall in comparison.
So if someone were to make the sizes of the Smash fighters accurate, two of the most powerful entities of their universe wouldn’t even be a foot tall. A literal incarnation of an omnipresent, pan-dimensional God, and he’d be shorter than Mario by over four feet.

Behold! It is finally complete! This is probably the longest that I’ve spent on a drawing, and I love how it came out. @kallulily​ really did make a drawing that was a challenge to do, and I enjoyed participating. It was nice working with these characters, most of them for the first time. I would’ve added Jerca and Garlude if I had a bit more space and patience, but oh well. Good luck to everyone that joins the contest!

My #1 post of 2022
Okay, so a while ago, I beat the main story mode of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and while I was looking through the post game things, when I got to the Side Concert, I found out the name of Meta Knight’s boss theme is “Sword of the Surviving Guardian”. And while this song is amazing, and perfectly captures Meta Knight's strength and determination, I can't help but be disturbed by the name.
"Sword of the Surviving Guardian". It seems way too ominous for it to be a one off. What did he go through to be THE Surviving Guardian? How many people had died for him to be THE Surviving Guardian, instead of A Surviving Guardian? Was this event recent, or long ago? Was this incident what inspired him to attempt a coup back in Super Star Ultra? Or is this related to the anime, in which he was presumed to be the last surviving veteran Star Warrior until very recently?
I'm pretty worried about what this new epithet, if it really isn't a one off, could mean in regards to Meta's origins and backstory.

5 eh? I’m not really a goer of fandoms in the interction sense, but In no particular order,
Tf2: Soldier - comedicly homicidal, I would not want a real life soldier tho, he is not a good person. He makes me laugh
Dragon Age: Varric - crossbow dwarf with a sharp tongue and lover of stories. Deffo needs a hug
The Hobbit: Balin and Dwalin - dwarven brothers and I can’t pick one they’re both precious and I love that their vastly different personalities don’t interfere with their relationship and their love for one another
Ghostbusters: Egon - look at him. Need I a better reason? Best identical twin.
Super Mario: because why not? Luigi - look at him, he can jump, he loves his friends and family enough to go face his fears, and can fall asleep at the drop of the hat. Best fraternal twin.

Mini Fanfic #651: The Scoldings (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)
6:45 p.m. at the Smash Mansion's Living Room.....
Luigi: (Sit Next to Daisy on the Sofa) So uh....why exactly are we sitting here in silence? I thought you said want we're having a long talk about what happened earlier.
Daisy: (Holds Luigi's Hand) Oh trust me, we are. We just need to....wait for a few people to get over here first.
Luigi: Wait what?
?????: Luigi!
Luigi: (Eyes Widened in a bit of Fear Once he Heard a Very Familiar Voice) Oh no.....
Samus: (Make her Way to the Living Room While Glaring at Luigi in a Disappointed Manner) What is this I hear about you using a weapon in the house?
Dedede: (From The Kitchen) WHAT!?
Tifa: (Pop Out from Samus' Back on One Side) Luigi! Is that true!?
Cloud: (Pop Out of Samus' Back on his Side) Which weapon did he used?
Luigi: Uhhhhhhhh-
Daisy: Nunchucks.
Dedede: (Makes his Way to the Living an Angry like Fashion) Boy, I'mma bout to smack you up side the head, quicker than you can say "Mamma Mia", if you don't tell us what you were doing swinging around those Nunchucks for in a couple seconds!!
Luigi: Oh. W-Well uh....(Chuckles Awkwardly) Funny story, actually. I was uhh.... Watching Yoshi practice with it earlier and thought I would give it a try. So I did and it.....flew off my hand....into the window and....it...sort of broken a car window.
Daisy: (Glares at Luigi Softly While Squeezing his Hand a Tad bit Harder) Weegie.
Luigi: (Wince a bit in Pain) Okay! Okay! I lied. It...has broken a car window....Not sure whose car it was, but..... it's the truth....
And just like that, everyone except for Daisy, gives Luigi dumbfounded looks.
Cloud: You mean to tell us you play around a weapon, you have little to no experience with, as a test drive.
Luigi: Yep. (Chuckles Awkwardly) Pretty funny....am I right?
Dedede: Look at our faces, boy. DOES IT LOOK LIKE WE'RE LAUGHING TO YOU RIGHT NOW!!?
Samus: Calm your ass down, De. This isn't some kind of screaming session.
Cloud: (Rolled his Eyes in a Bit of Annoyance) Seriously....
Samus: As for you, Mr. Nunchucks Boy.....(Makes her Way to Sofa and Sat Next to Luigi on the Other Side) You could've gotten yourself seriously hurt if you were more careless.
Luigi: I know, but...i-it look so cool to use!
Tifa: (Frowns at Luigi Disappointedly) True. But just because Nunchucks, or....any other weapon for that matter, looks cool, it doesn't automatically means you should be using them without any form of proper training first.
Cloud: Tifa's right. (Crosses his Arms) You could've easily gotten yourself head trauma if it manage to hit you on the head.
Dedede: Or if you're really unlucky, it could directly hit you right down on your baby making ba-
Daisy: Really don't need to finish that sentence, De. (Turns to Luigi in a bit of a Worried Look on her Face) But you do understand what we're talking about here, right sweetie?
Luigi: ('Sigh') Yeah.... (Turns to Everyone Who is Staring at Him with Worry in their Eyes) I'm sorry, you guys. I had.....no idea this would make you all this worried.
Samus: Well, yeah. (Place her Hand on top of Luigi's and Daisy's) I know it may seem like we're making a big deal out of this, but we're only doing this because we love you and we want you to be safe.
Dedede: The girl's right, boy. We're just doing whatever we can to look out for you is all.
Luigi: (Heart Begins to Melt a Little While Smiling) I know. And I can't thank you guys enough for that. I love you all too.
Daisy: (Heart Begins to Melt as Well While Hugging Luigi Lovely) Oh sweetie~ I love you so much!~
Samus: (Hugs Luigi as Well With a Soft Smirk on her Face) C'mere you.
Tifa: Group hug!
And with that, Dedede, Cloud, and Tifa joins in on the group hug.
Cloud: Wait. Don't we usually have of our vehicles at the back of of the mansion? Who would park their car in the front of it.
Daisy: Not sure. I was too busy being angry at my Weegie that I didn't go back and check.
Samus: Eh. I'm sure it was nothing.
Earlier Today.........
Ridley: (Pinches his Nose in Despair at the Sight of his Car Being Towed Away)
Bowser: I don't get why you even have a car in the first place. You can fly, dumbass!!
Ridley: (Yells at Bowser) I JUST WANT TO IMPRESS THE LADIES FOR ONCE, OKAY!?

Vampire (Caius Volturi) (Part Eight)
Tumblr media
Word count: 1785
(Alright, this is mostly just the musical. Only the last part is back to the main characters part. If anyone wants to see the musical with English subtitles: Part one Part two I hope you will all enjoy it!)
The judge called upon Luigi Lucheni to tell his story. To tell the reason why he killed the beloved empress Elisabeth. “Nacht für Nacht dieselbe Frage. Seit hundert Jahren! Was soll die Fragerei? Merda. Ich bin tot!” he would shout in his defence. Yes, he indeed was dead, yet this was his punishment. Every night he would have to stand in front of a judge and explain why he had committed such a horrible crime. “Nennen Sie endlich die Hintergründe!” the judge would shout out to Lucheni, wanting the murderer to take his responsibility. “Die Hintergründe? Ich habe sie ermordet, weil sie es wollte!” was his reasoning. He had only murdered her because she wanted him to. “Und reden immer noch von… Elisabeth!” he would shout as the dead slowly rose up and started to chant about how to old world has sunken. Luchini sang about how Elisabeth hated them all, every single one of them while the dead chanted about how everyone has danced with Death, yet no one like Elisabeth. “Attenzione! Ihre Majestät der Tod!” he would shout as the room grew quiet. Death made her way down the stairs, looking down at the dead. Her hair hanging in loose curls down her back, the upper part clipped back neatly with a Celtic looking pin. She was completely clothed in white, looking like and angel. “Was hat es zu bedeuten: dies alte Lied. Das mir seit jenen Zeiten die Brust durchglüht? Engel nennen’s Freude, Teufel nennen’s Pein. Menschen meinen, es muss Liebe sein.” She sang, her voice lovely yet dangerous. Yes, love was a curse, and it stood in the way of her job. She quickly made her way further down the stairs, past the dead and past Lucheni. “Mein Auftrag heißt zerstören. Ich tu es kalt. Ich hol, die mir gehören, jung oder alt. Weiß nicht, wie geschehn kann, was es gar nicht gibt – Doch es stimmt: Ich habe sie geliebt” she sang, yes she had loved Elisabeth, and the game they had played throughout the empress life, even though she had no idea how it had happened.
The first meeting between Death and Elisabeth was when the empress was only sixteen years old. At a family meeting Elisabeth had climbed up a tree, when a branch had broken below her feet and she had plummeted to the ground. Death, now dressed completely in black, had swooped her in her arms and gently brought her back to the living, wanting nothing more than to take the young woman with her, but knowing she couldn’t do it just yet. Elisabeth was a flower in bloom, and her beauty had Death in awe. “Est ist Liebe! Per Dio!” came Lucheni’s explanation. “Wohin gehst du, schwarzer Prinzessin? Warum bleibst du nicht hier? Ich hab mich in deinen Armen wohlgefühlt. Und ich spürte eine Sehnsucht. Mich von allem zu befrei'n. Wie ein schwarzer Vogel. Stolz und allein. Ja, ich weiß, du bist der Tod. Und alle fürchten dich. Doch ich denk an dich. Was immer ich auch tu. Träume und Gedichte schreiben. Oder reiten mit dem Wind... Niemand versteht mich so wie du!” Was Elisabeth’s claim of love for Death, her Death. She didn’t want her dark princess to leave, not now that she had felt what freedom was. And no one had every understood her as much as she had. Yet Death turned her back towards the young girl now and disappeared, yet she always stayed close to her. Soon Elisabeth met her other love, Franz Joseph, emperor of Austria and soon their wonderful wedding day passed by. “Augustinerkirche, halb sieben Uhr abends. Merkwürdige Zeit für eine Trauung, aber passend, An diesem 24. April 1854. Sehr passend, porca miseria!” Lucheni shouted towards the judges. The crowd sang about how all the questions had been asked as the couple made its way towards the priest. “Wenn das Euer Wille ist, so antwortet mit Ja!” if this was their will, then they must answer once with Yes. “Ja!” was their answer. The wedding bells sounded and Death herself was hanging on the cord, pulling it down. Laughing frantically as she knew Elisabeth would be hers, and that Franz Joseph will begin the chain of events that would lead Elisabeth into her sweet embrace. Many of the guests along with Elisabeth’s father, mother and mother in law were bickering whether the young girl and the emperor were a good fit or not. As Elisabeth tried to dance in her own way, Franz kept the young girl on track of the classic waltz, not once giving her the freedom to dance the way she wanted to dance. Death looked at the young woman, a small smirk on her face as she and hear angels of death emerged. With a snap of her finger the angels spread and the guests froze on the spot. All but Elisabeth. Death held her hand out for Elisabeth, inviting her to dance. Elisabeth smiled and made her way towards Death and soon they circled around each other, never once touching. Soon Elisabeth got out of her trance and ran towards Franz Joseph, whom was still frozen in trance. Death made her way halfway up the slope, and slowly sat down in sync with her angels. She sang about the old song of one loved by two. “Der letzte Tanz, der letzte Tanz. Gehört allein nur mir! Den letzten Tanz, den letzten Tanz, Tanz ich allein mit dir!” she sang, her voice soft yet threatening. She sang about the time, how it influenced the wine and made it old, the air in the mirror hall was growing thick. Invisible eyes were watching the two of them, all of them waiting for their Rendezvous. Death grabbed Elisabeth and danced with her before pushing her down, in a dance of dominance, one that Death would win. “Und so wart' ich im Dunkeln. Und schau zu dir hin. Als der große Verlierer. Doch ich weiß, ich gewinn!” she sang, yes she was waiting in the darkness, looking like the loser, but she knew, she would win in the end. She ran up the slope as it ascended once more, making it into a bridge on the top of the stage. “Den letzten Tanz, den letzten Tanz. Tanz ich nur mit dir!” she sang, the final note long and strong before walking of the stage. Four years passed, Elisabeth herself very soon comes to regret her seemingly "fairy-tale marriage". She feels abandoned by her careless husband, psychologically abused by her possessive mother-in-law, and is chronically depressed due to her loneliness. There is only one thing that keeps her emotionally stimulated—the dark and sensual shadow of Death; but Elisabeth is reluctant to consummate their relationship. When Death takes her infant daughter, the tragedy shakes the young Empress extremely. “Nein!” Elisabeth shouted as her daughter blew out her last breath. She runs towards her but is stopped by Death and falls to her knees. Death sends her a gentle and welcoming smile. “Weißt du noch, wie wir erbebten. Als wir zwei im Tanze schwebten? Du brauchst mich. Ja, du brauchst mich.” Her tone grew threatening, but soon returned to her sweet, angelic voice. “Gib doch zu, daß du mich mehr liebst, Als den Mann an deiner Seite. Auch wenn du ihm scheinbar mehr gibst. Du ziehst ihn in die Nacht” she sang as she told Elisabeth the truth of her husband. “Die Schatten werden länger, Es wird Abend, eh’ dein Tag begann. Die Schatten werden länger. Mit dir stirbt die Welt. Halt dich nicht fest daran” Death finished, trying to sway Elisabeth to come to her embrace but she refuses to give in to Death's sway.
After her remaining two children are taken from Elisabeth, she grows cold, and sets Franz Joseph for an ultimatum. “Ich habe ein förmliches Ultimatum aufgesetzt. Wenn du mich nicht verlieren willst, erfüll' es. Ich möchte selbst über die Erziehung meiner Kinder bestimmen. Und von nun an will ich entscheiden, was ich tue und lasse. Lies mein Schreiben und entscheide dich: Für deine Mutter oder mich! Und jetzt lass mich allein.” She said as she felt her depression creep up to her again, and soon she heard the voice of her beloved Death. Elisabeth turned around and saw Death sitting on a love seat in her bedroom, her arms opened in a welcoming way. “Elisabeth! Sei nicht verzweifelt. Ruh dich aus in meinem Arm. Ich will dich trösten.” She sang and soon sprang up. “Flieh, und du wirst frei sein, Und alles Kämpfen wird vorbei sein. Ich führ dich fort aus Raum und Zeit, In eine bessre Wirklichkeit.” Death held her hand out for Elisabeth to take, her voice growing soft, and loving. “Elisabeth! Elisabeth! Ich liebe dich...” “Nein! Ich möchte leben! Ich bin zu jung um aufzugeben. Ich weiß, ich kann mich selbst befrein. Jetzt setz ich meine Schönheit ein.” Elisabeth sang, her voice growing firm. She didn’t need Death, she would find her own way to freedom! “Geh! Ich will dich nicht! Ich brauch dich nicht! Geh!” Death frowned and fled back into the shadows quickly.
But it had been too late. Elisabeth calluses over and becomes cold and selfish. She flees the Austrian court and spends decades restlessly travelling all over the world, trying in vain to escape from her fear of emptiness. Eventually, Elisabeth makes peace with her husband, when he finds her. He begged for her forgiveness, and he swore he would give her anything she wanted. Elisabeth walks through a mirror, completely dolled up looking absolutely gorgeous. “Soll ich dich verstehen. Will ich auch verstanden sein. Ich will mit dir gehen. Doch sperr mich nicht länger ein. Ich bin nicht das Eigentum von dir. Denn ich gehör nur mir.” She sang. Soon Death herself emerged from the same mirror, yet stayed within the frames. “Was heut das Auge sieht. Ist morgen schon Vergangenheit. Wohin dein Blick auch flieht. Auf meiner Seite ist die Zeit.” She sang as she watched Elisabeth from the shadows once more. “Du musst mir nichts geben. Nur lass mir mein Leben! Denn ich gehör...” Elisabeth sang. “ Du gehörst…” Death sang. “Nur mir!” Elisabeth and Death sang together.
During the final part before the break was the first time I looked up at the balcony I knew the Cullens and Volturi were sitting. I had felt his glance on me the entire time, and it made me want to perform on my best. His red eyes pierced through mine, and even from here, I could see a gentle look in his eyes as he watched me perform. Elisabeth sang her lust, high note and the lights turned off, signalling it was time for the break.

post 9 other characters in media that inspired your muse in one way or another.
tagged by: @airxn I AM SO MAD I HAD TO THINK FOR THREE DAYS
tagging: Eh do it if you want
(somewhat lengthy) explanations below the cut!
Sergey Razumovsky: Ahhh, Teddy’s faceclaim for the past few years now. The irony is that he’s the billionaire playboy philanthropist serial killer while his on-again-off-again guard hound/boyfriend is the noble and just ex-cop, but I digress. The dual-sided aspect of Sergey’s personality is what kind of stoked the fire for the Dragon being a separate, but not fully, thoughtpan from Teddy. ...And he’s just a handsome redhead. Fuck it, right?
Smaug: While Teddy retains almost NONE of Smaug’s vicious, greedy, maneating, cruel, sociopathic personality, Smaug did inspire the decision to just go all in on giving Teddy his dracothropic side. He also adores shiny things, if not necessarily gold, and has one hell of a temper, once it is finally set off.
Carmine: What inspired Teddy’s run-in with mad science to give him what has since been known as his Berserk state, further evolving into Volcanic and Ionic. He almost never uses these because they’re so energetically expensive. Carmine’s hot-blooded, foul temper also contributed to the near-unrecognizable frenzy the Berserk state can drag Teddy into if he’s not careful.
Luigi: This one isn’t as cut and dry as the others. Luigi is a lovable, timid hero, a cowardly lion, and a tenderhearted pacifist at his core. Teddy certainly used to be a lovable coward, but has since developed into simply lovable, though some of his cowardice remains in his regrettable fear of dogs, and his fear in the face of mortal or existential peril. As well as just...general anxiety. Poor boy’s a wreck. But, at his core, he has chronic hero syndrome in spades, and his heart (and appetite) are bigger than his demons.
Badou Nails: Teddy’s faceclaim before Sergey, and the basis of his entire character, from chain-smoking to the eyepatch, to the long hair, to his sharp teeth, to his affinity for dual-wielding guns. The black, flammable powder was drawn from the specific image I was given as inspiration, the cryogenesis was added because I’d long wanted a fire-and-ice character, and Teddy was just the ticket.
Arman: Oh, boy, where do I start. Arman was, like Smaug, a cementer in the decision to make Teddy a dracothrope. However, Arman’s personality reflects more in the Dragon than Smaug’s, being haughty, hesitant, gentle, affectionate, fiery, and above all, mad in love once he falls. Arman’s chivalry shines brightly in Teddy, as does his somewhat awkward approach when it comes to romance, and his inner turmoil regarding relationships in general.
The Terminator: Unstoppable force of destruction when suitably pissed off or imperiled. I rest my case.
Mufasa: God. The best dad. He’s the dad your dad wishes he could be. Sensible, reasonable, soft-hearted but with a sufficiently firm hand, and always just wants the best for the parties he’s responsible for, whether that be his kid(s), his little brother, his reckless lover, or a reckless friend, he’s there to be the impulse control and the voice of logic, a natural-born leader.
Richter Belmont, SotN: THE HEFT OF THE NADS ON THIS MAN. Very few people can say they confronted a vampire lord, THE Vampyre, Dracul, challenged him to a brawl, and fucking won. Richter’s indomitable will and goal-oriented, if hot head contributed quite a bit to Teddy’s final personality, a far cry from his pre-Amy nerves. And, coincidentally, Teddy’s family also has a good handful of vampire hunters, but the Belmonts have nothing to do with that.
