this is more abt the world than rlly the biology but since mario seems to be pretty human, is there anything particularly notable about the way he interacts or communicates with the mushroom kingdom? or is it more notable that it might not change much

Ohh I was so excited to answer this.

Peach and Mario communicate primarily with tactile sign language. Peach uses only two of her manipulator limbs for this, as to not alienate Mario. There's added nuances from each others voices, but most of the information is communicated via touch.

The language being tactile is important because Peach's compound eyes aren't great at focusing, and her hearing is imprecise. Her world is blurry and muffled audiovisually, but her sense of touch (and chemoreception) is sharp. She experiences the world in a very different way, but touch is one of the things she and Mario share.

She prefers to "hear" Mario's laugh by gently pressing a limb to his throat. She's also sweeping him with her pheromone receptors here, it's equivalent to studying someone's face to commit it to memory.

Before developing tactile sign language, though, Mario attempted to communicate with Peach in a way more familiar to her. Peach sends chemical signals to her subjects via a mycelium network and can process a lot more information this way. Finding the communication gap frustrating, Mario connected the mushroom kingdom's mycelium network to himself.

although the mycelium might be connected to the benevolent beings he lives among and calls his friends, it has no moral compass. It will begin to disassemble you regardless of your intentions.

This made him extremely sick. It was a lot more alarming for Peach, though, being sent signals every second of her friend's body being rotted inside out. Needless to say, this is not how they communicate anymore.

Here's an idea that's been buzzing in my head since I first saw your Bowluigi art.

Imagine a typical Mario scenerio of Bowsette attacking the castle to kidnap her "one true love". But while Maria is expecting her to kidnap the Prince, Bowsette just goes right past them, grabs Lucia and runs out.

And all Lucia does is awkwardly wave to the others while she blushes and smiles.

Hehehehehehehehe-

Whole comic, anyone?

🌟How does Toadsworth react to Mario's pregnancy?🌟

I'm thinking that Toadsworth goes through a wide arrange of emotions when he's told, because:

His baby girl is going to become a mother (father's happiness, he's going to be a grandfather!)

His baby isn't a baby any longer [father anguish, she grew up too fast! (never mind that she's thirty-one now)]

His baby isn't married to the man she's going to have a baby with (father's wrath? Maybe he's old-fashioned like that and thinks that they should do the whole thing correctly!)

Overall, he's very happy, and congratulates both Mario and Peach eagerly, and goes on and on about how the experience of parenthood can be wonderful and has a lot of many great moments. How he remembers when Peach was a baby and how happy it makes him to see her grow and become the woman she is now- until he stops and realizes that Mario and Peach are going to have a baby.

And goes: "Wait, a baby? And you're not even married!"

Mario and Peach look at each other briefly, while Toadsworth frets about it and says that they must get married as soon as possible, before the baby is born. But Mario and Peach actually planned to get pregnant, and say so to Toadsworth, and they have no intention on marrying sooner because of that.

So, he's like, "But princess! The baby will not be a princess or prince if you don't marry by the time they're born!"

"They'll be royalty either way if we marry later," says Peach smiling, trying to take the seriousness out of the matter. Because she really, really doesn't want to get married yet*. "If we marry now, I'm certain I will not enjoy it, Toadsworth, and that's the least I want for the day I marry the man I love."

Mario's like respectfully listening and all, and goes 🥰 for a second at her words, and then serious again.

Toadsworth's like :c but still accepts that she wants to take her time on that matter. He sighs resignedly and shakes his head while Peach is clearly waiting for his answer on it, unsubtly worried (something silly like her with them big ol' eyes looking directly at him).

Finally, he says, "You're very set on your ideas, princess... But I think that's on me, I raised you like this." His words have a nice tone to it because he's smiling and looking at Peach fondly. She sighs relieved, and smiles brightly too, and leans down to hug her father again. She's glad he's comprehensive about it.

Eventually, Toadsworth gets over the fact that Mario and Peach are merely boyfriend and girlfriend and have no intention on marrying soon. Although, it does take him a very long time to come to terms with the fact that his baby is going to have her own babies, when just yesterday it seemed that she was too small for her crown.

Almost through all of Mario's pregnancy Toadsworth has these moments where he's nostalgic and remembering when Peach was younger. He's very happy for them, and hopes the babies have a likeness to Peach (they'll be the cutest babies if that were the case!)

Also, Toadsworth has a respectful relationship with Mario, because he's the man that always looks out for his daughter and also he's earned Toadsworth's respect through all his actions. Mario also has him in high regard due to the fact that he's Peach's father figure, and he's never given him a reason not to.

But Toadsworth still very, but very rarely asks to feel the babies, and Mario doesn't mind one bit about it (especially because he asks very nicely and Mario never feels like he can't say no), but the old toad is still a bit hesitant about it. He mostly does it when the babies are very big already and can easily be felt if you place a hand on Mario's belly.

Toadsworth mostly has conversations with Peach about the babies, when Peach asks for stories or advice on parenting. He gladly goes on long monologues (like the old man he is-) about his experiences while raising her, while Peach listens attentively.

And when the babies are born, he's best grandpa and gladly takes care of the girls whenever he can.

Nettarina and Mariella may look like two mini Marios, but they remind him very much of when Peach was a baby. He takes them on walks in Peach's stroller, talks to them about his day, and also reads them stories. Sometimes he gets emotional about how similar yet different it is from back then :'v

*Peach doesn't want to get married to Mario yet, and it has to do with Bowser's kidnappings. Maybe I'll do a post where it's more explained :y and also where it shows when they do get married, years later when the girls are older.

I got a request!

Kieran's Hydrapple trying to set him up with a Fem!Reader?

Little guy's been witnessing that boy being an absolute mess since he was a Dipplin and has had ENOUGH!

Ohoho, this sounds cute!! I assume you mean a writing request, so here you go! This takes place after the events of the Indigo Disk DLC.

Warnings: None! Just some romance :)

Notes: Kieran deserves a hug, I fr wish Game Freak let us hug him after all that went down..

Kieran checked his closet, which was full of assorted colors of Jinbei outfits. He sighed, closing the closet door again.

"Hydrapple, which color would Y/N like..?" Kieran turned to his Hydrapple, who was resting on the floor.

Hydrapple huffed and let out an indifferent hiss.

"I know, I know... It doesn't matter that much, but.. what if she doesn't like the color?" He asked, scratching his head. "Tonight is the Festival of Mask, and I haven't seen her in awhile."

Hydrapple hissed again, seemingly impatient. It stretched its head over to the white Jinbei, pointing at the outfit with its snout.

"White..? But I wore that one last year." Kieran huffed. "I've changed, maybe I should pick a different color-" Hydrapple hissed louder, as if begging him to just pick one.

Kieran sighed. "Alright, alright.. I hear you. Let's just go with white." He said, grabbing the outfit reluctantly.

"C'mon Hydrapple, get in your pokeball. The festival starts soon."

You were back in Kitakami! Traveling was easy for you since you were a champion of Paldea, but you still missed this place. The bright festival lights and music drew you closer to the town hall as you hopped off of Miraidon.

Miraidon looked eager to try the food, but you were more interested in something else. Scanning the area, you couldn't help but notice that Kieran wasn't there yet, so you decided to help yourself to a candy apple (and you bought a second one for your hungry dragon friend, too).

As you and Miraidon munched on your treats at a table, you heard a familiar voice behind you.

"Is that a candy apple? Oh man, I haven't had one in awhile."

It was Kieran. He was dressed in the white Jinbei he wore last year, back when you first met him. His hair was still tied up too. For some reason, he looked nervous.

"Oh, hey Kieran!" You smiled and waved, gesturing for him to come closer. "Do you want one? I can buy one for you."

Kieran shuffled over awkwardly, taking a seat next to you. "No thanks, I'm not hungry. Carmine made me eat dinner before I got here."

You giggled. Carmine was always fussing over her little brother. She probably said he was getting too skinny or something.

"Well, at least try some of mine! It's really sweet!" You said, holding out the candy apple.

Kieran raised an eyebrow. "Um... Is that like, sanitary? Maybe I shouldn't."

You shrugged. "Suit yourself!" You said, going back to eating it.

Suddenly, you saw a flash of light. Kieran's Hydrapple had popped out of its pokeball.

"Hydrapple, what are you doing?" Kieran asked.

Hydrapple hissed in response, seeming excited. It leaned forward and pushed its snout into Kieran's shoulder, trying to push him closer to you.

"What the- No, I'm not gonna share the apple with her! I can buy my own later." Kieran protested, lightly nudging Hydrapple's head away.

You made a pouting face. "Pleeeaaase, Kieran? Even Hydrapple thinks you should try some."

Kieran sighed and took the candy apple from you, taking a bite of the side that wasn't eaten yet. You watched as his eyes lit up.

"How is it?" You asked, grinning at him.

"It's... just like how I remember it." He said, seemingly lost in thought. "Thank you." His smile was small, but warm. Your heart skipped a beat, seeing him genuinely happy.

Hydrapple, still out of its pokeball, hissed at Kieran again. Kieran seemed taken aback at whatever Hydrapple said, because his face instantly went red.

"Wha-- NO! I'm not gonna-" He exclaimed, before shutting himself up to not draw attention to himself. You looked at him, confused.

Hydrapple seemed to... grin? It used its two tails to push itself closer to Kieran, then nudged its snout into Kieran's side again, pushing him towards you.

"Kieran, what did Hydrapple say-?" You asked, tilting your head. Kieran let out an exasperated sigh as he finally looked at you.

"Ugh... It said.. that we should kiss." He mumbled, his eyes trailing off. "But I'm not gonna, because I don't think you like me like that. Hydrapple is being weird again, I swear."

...You leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. Kieran nearly fell out of his seat, his eyes widened as you pulled back.

"Wha.... huh? You....... w-what?" He stammered, his face turning red all over again.

You licked your lips, then smiled at him. "Tastes sweet."

Kieran sputtered. "WH- You just-- You kissed me! Why did you kiss me?! Is this a prank??"

You laughed, then shook your head. "No, I just love you Kieran. And you're cute when you get flustered like that."

Kieran seemed to short-circuit. His face was still red, and he kept looking at you, then touching his mouth with his hand. "Y-You... love me? Why?"

Suddenly, the bells in the town hall rang out, and people started shuffling towards the exit.

"Ah, the festival-" Kieran paused when he felt you stand up and grab his hand, and he got up as well.

You smiled as you walked beside him, his hand in yours. "Kieran, you're genuinely the coolest person I know. I had no idea you were suffering so much because of what happened last year, and I... I wanna be there for you this time. I really do love you."

Kieran's eyes met yours, then he sniffled as tears welled up in his eyes. He had to stop walking for a moment just to collect himself, and you stayed by his side and hugged him.

"Y-Y/N..." He sniffled, wiping tears out of his eyes. "I-I love you too, Y/N.."

You decided to sit down with him at a bench on the side of the path. There was a clear view of the sky, which was twinkling with stars. Hydrapple scooted itself next to you and Kieran, with Miraidon sitting on the other side.

It was a beautiful view, and you would remember it for weeks to come.

It doesn't even matter that the movie revealed Mario's parents and family.

Because at the end of the day, the Bros do truly only have each other. Yes, they do have other family members to show them love - but nothing compares to the bond that these Bros have.

From day one of their lives, they have had each other to fall back on. They really are each other's other half. No other face, loving touch, or words can truly get across to them in the same way as when they do it to each other.

#thank you movie for going all out 🙏🏻 #i haven't even seen the whole thing yet and already I'm vibing 👀 #i can't #oh lord it's beautiful #just a beautiful bond that's all i asked for #super mario #mario #luigi #mario and luigi #brothers #family #the super mario bros movie #super mario movie #mario movie #the super mario bros movie spoilers #super mario movie spoilers #mario movie spoilers #I've seen some people (myself included) a bit thrown off by the fact the bros actually had family revealed #like yeah Nintendo approved that??? #when they don't even show the parent's faces in the games?? #i dunno that's odd imo
