Today is my birthday and I thought what better way to celebrate than to officially announce that the next multi-chapter Bowuigi fan fiction I will be working on is the prequel of To Break the Bonds Within Two Kingdoms! :D
The release date of the next chapter is TBD for a little while, but once I can upload the next chapter, I should have enough chapters semi-fleshed out to where I can start posting on a consistent schedule.
Enjoy this prologue everyone and I hope to see you in the next chapter! :D
P.S: This prologue was very, very inspired by the opening music of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (which y'all can listen to here). :)

To Love the Enemy is a Treasonous Journey
Chapters: Don’t have a definitive number yet, but it’s going to have more chapters than To Break the Bonds Within Two Kingdoms

Summary: When the royal members of the Mushroom Kingdom struggle to come up with a plan to stop Bowser from ruining Mario and Peach’s wedding, Luigi volunteers to distract the fearsome Koopa King. But when the day of the long-anticipated wedding finally arrives, an accidental discovery sets off a chain of events that soon escalate into something no one, not even Luigi and Bowser, can possibly imagine.

A lot of characters in the Mario universe would much rather ask, “How is Luigi?” than to even consider asking, “How is Bowser?”
Now I get it: Bowser is, canonically, one of the most fucking fearsome creatures in the entire Mario universe. He has kidnapped Peach who-knows how many times, he has conquered dozens and dozens of different kingdoms across the Mario universe, not to mention that if the Super Mario Bros movie had a higher age rating, I’m pretty sure he would’ve gone through with his threat of actually killing Luigi in front of Mario (I'm not counting the fact that Luigi almost died by lava as a sacrifice for Peach and Bowser's wedding. I'm talking about a whole different level of kill.)
But even still…Bowser has emotions. Sure, 95% of the time Bowser is either angry or arrogant, but there’s one emotion every single person has faced with at some point in their life: Anxiety
And because Bowser is a king, I believe that there are going to be times where being a king and handling all of the royalty stuff (with or without Kamek and Kammy's help) can really stress Bowser out to the point where it causes him to have a panic attack.
And the only person who can help Bowser with his panic attack is his husband, the King Consort/second King of the Dark Lands (depending on what royal title you want to give him), Luigi.
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#bowser nintendo#luigi nintendo#bowser#luigi#super mario#super mario bros#I should point out that Kamek and Kammy would ask “How is Bowser?” instead of “How is Luigi?”#and while they would help Bowser with some of his royal duties this post is centered around Luigi and Bowser's relationship#i.e. if Bowser has a panic attack then Luigi (and only Luigi) can help his husband with his panic attack#plus since I hc that Luigi can get a lot of panic attacks I like to imagine he can help Bowser with his anxiety/panic attacks#Bowser always help Luigi with his burdens and I want Luigi to help Bowser with his burdens too

A little late to reblog this, but I wanted to share a fun fact in that this post/ask is what the flashback scene from Till Death Do Us Part My Sweet Little Bride is based on. :)
Angsty bowigi for the request thing plz
combined this anon with a previous anon that i had put on the back burner and basically just did an exploration in expressions
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#luigi nintendo#bowser nintendo#bowser#luigi#super mario#super mario bros#reblog#not my work#I love how you can tell the moment when the unrealistically angst au begins just by looking at Bowser's eyes#the subtle hearts in Bowser's eyes in the last 2 panels is such a cool little detail#also my heart breaks for Luigi for being really nervous about telling Bowser that he just wants to stay friends#especially after he finds out the hard way that Bowser is not okay with the idea of just being his friend

So I have another "Bowser is messing with Mario's head" kind of idea.
So in both The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and in Mario Party 2, Bowser wears a lot of costumes.
However, one idea that I think would be hilarious to explore is the idea of Bowser pulling a "Clark Kent" in the sense that whenever he wears a costume, no one recognizes that "this mysterious person" is actually Bowser. Even if it's so painfully obvious that it's Bowser, even if he's just wearing glasses and a hat, the idea of no one recognizing that Bowser is wearing a disguise is just really funny to me.
Well, two people would recognize him.
The first person would be Luigi because he and Bowser are dating.
And the second person would be none other than our favorite red-clad plumber, Mario.
If I had the motivation, I could probably go into this idea a little more, but the point I'm trying to make is I just really like the idea of Bowser wearing a simple costume like this:
And Mario trying (and heavily failing) to convince everyone that this is actually Bowser and not some random Koopa/person.
And whenever no one's looking or every time when they're alone, Bowser just looks at Mario with the biggest smug smirk on his face.
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#mario nintendo#bowser nintendo#luigi nintendo#bowser#luigi#mario#super mario#super mario bros#mario party 2#the super mario bros super show#should point that this idea pertains to the Koopa version of Bowser and not the human version of Bowser#because using the Koopa version of Bowser would make this idea 100x funnier#imagine you have 1 Bowser Koopa who is dressed up like a Toad and 9 actual Toads#and yet 8 of the real Toads think that the 9th real Toad is an imposter#and yes that was an among us reference#if you know you know

I don't know if anyone would be interested in hearing this, but I have a probably hilarious Bowuigi idea that deals with reverse psychology.
Okay, so imagine with me a time where Luigi and Bowser just started dating and Luigi shortly thereafter (probably like a few days later) tells Mario that he and Bowser are dating. While I feel like Mario would go big brother protective mode on Luigi, Mario eventually tells Luigi that he'll give Bowser the benefit of the doubt, but also tells Luigi that if Bowser hurts him in anyway, he (Mario) will give Bowser hell.
However, after his conversation with Luigi (probably a few hours later or something), Mario would march over to Bowser's Castle and demand the minions to see Bowser. Once Mario and Bowser are face-to-face in Bowser's throne room, Mario would interrogate Bowser about what Luigi said to Mario (i.e., "Is it true that you and Luigi dating?", "How long has this been going on?", etc.). After asking a lot of questions, Mario would get quiet for a little bit and then would tell Bowser that he does not approve of his and Luigi's relationship. Now if Mario was completely honest, he wasn't sure how Bowser was going to react upon hearing his disapproval, but shocked couldn't even describe how Mario felt as soon as he hears Bowser say this specific line:
"Good. I wasn't planning on dating your brother for very long anyway."
Now, the throne room was completely fucking quiet after Bowser's statement. Hell, it was so quiet that if one were to listen closely, they could probably hear the sound of nearby Koopa Paratroopas flapping their wings or even the soft sound of minions walking outside the throne room.
But Mario quickly breaks the silence with these two sentences:
"The fuck do you mean 'you're not planning on dating Luigi for very long'?!"
"What, you think you're too good for my little brother?!"
These two sentences were just the beginning of Mario's rant as he started to go fucking off on Bowser. Bowser, being Bowser, just has this uninterested/bored expression on his face as Mario continues to go off on the Koopa King (but he now switches between speaking English and Italian). Eventually (don't know how so bear with me), Mario tells (no, pretty much orders) Bowser that he (Bowser) will continue to date Luigi until the day that either Bowser or Luigi dies. (Note that Mario's goal is to make Bowser see that Luigi is so much more than meets the eye.) Before Bowser can have a chance to give Mario a response, Mario storms out the throne while saying a few more curse words in Italian.
But the moment Mario leaves the throne room, Bowser's bored expression is instantly replaced with a big smug smirk.
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#luigi nintendo#bowser nintendo#mario nintendo#luigi#bowser#mario#super mario#super mario bros#tw swearing#reverse psychology#mario's playing checkers while bowser's over here playing chess#would bowser be smart enough to do a reverse psychology on mario?#he is now#at least for this idea#also luigi would know that bowser is pulling a reverse psychology on Mario#idk if it would be his idea specifically but I can see luigi being aware that bowser plans on tricking mario into giving him his approval#hopefully what i said makes sense

Okay, so seeing as this poll I made three months ago was not a competition at all (which makes perfect sense since I would also choose Jr. over Luigi if I were Bowser), I'm going to kick things up to full-on angst mode by making my favorite Mario character suffer like he has never suffer before.
Aside from..., y'know..., making him go through all the events he went through in pretty much every single fan fiction I have written & uploaded on Ao3.
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#mario and luigi#luigi nintendo#bowser nintendo#mario nintendo#luigi#bowser#mario#super mario#super mario bros#tumblr polls#polls#decisions decisions#I am both intrigued and a little scared of how this is going to turn out#also for those who will ask I was originally going to include a third response where Luigi can choose both in exchange for his life#but then I realized that would've made the decision so much easier#plus if Bowser had to choose between a family member and Luigi (with no 3rd option)#then it's only fair that Luigi has to face the same dilemma (except Mario would replace Jr in this scenario)

So originally, I was going to upload this one-shot in mid-June, but because I was able to finish it much faster than expected (not to mention that I didn’t want to wait a whole month to upload it when it's already done), I decided to skip the wait and share this one-shot angst Bowuigi story with you all now. :)
Thank you to @jelixpo for inspiring me to write this one-shot!

Summary:
Luigi Mario was not in love with Bowser. Sure, he greatly cared about Bowser (he really did), but from the moment they started hanging out, Luigi was only interested in befriending the Koopa King.
But unbeknownst to Luigi, Bowser was not okay with the idea of just being Luigi’s friend.
Not one. little. bit.

A Luigi x Donkey Kong and Angst Bowuigi story Part 2
It's sequel time baby! :D
Thanks again to @cbfanart for inspiring me to write this Luigi x DK and angst Bowuigi project/story! :)
Read Part 1 here!
Full story's under the cut because while not as long as part 1, this is still going to be a long post everyone.
*************
Luigi lets out a sigh of relief upon seeing “Diddy Kong” at the door. Even though part of him should’ve been really confused about this (since last Luigi saw him, Diddy Kong was rushing back to the Jungle Kingdom with DK), Luigi ignores this as he asks the small Kong “Are you okay? Where’s DK?” Instead of responding, “Diddy Kong” runs aways, resulting in Luigi following him while shouting, “Diddy Kong, wait!” The next few minutes pass with Luigi following the agile Kong. Eventually, “Diddy Kong” stops running after he enters a dark cave. When Luigi catches up to him, he stops to catch his breath before he said, “Diddy Kong, please, what is going on? Is Donkey Kong okay?” As soon as “Diddy Kong” faces Luigi, Luigi notices…a strange look on “Diddy Kong’s” face (which starts to terrify him because this is not Diddy Kong’s normal behavior). Before Luigi could have a chance to say, “Diddy Kong…?”, a magical blast suddenly hits the back of Luigi’s head, causing him to black out.
The next scene transitions to Luigi slowly regaining consciousness. As Luigi becomes more aware of his surroundings, he realizes that he is in a fancy bedroom. From the dark green silk covered sheets to the elegant fireplace on the other side of the bedroom, this room felt like it was made for a king.
The room also felt…weird. Luigi wasn’t sure if it was the fact that the entire room had a dark green theme to it or a completely different reason he couldn’t quite his finger on, but something about the room felt both comforting and terrifying.
As Luigi continued to look at his surroundings, he starts to notice how dark the room actually is. Luigi sees some closed curtains, so he decides to open the curtains. However, as soon as Luigi opens the curtains, all the blood drained from Luigi’s face upon seeing a very clear view of the Dark Lands.
Which could only mean that he’s in Bowser’s Castle.
“You’re awake.”
These two simple words made Luigi turned as pale as a Boo as he turned around and saw Bowser standing at the doorway. While Bowser did have a genuine smile on his face, this did not ease Luigi’s nerves in the slightest. Bowser asks Luigi, “How do you feel?” but his question was met with complete silence. Bowser takes one step towards Luigi, but this results in Luigi taking a fearful step back in response. Hating the idea of Luigi being scared of him, Bowser tries to ease the tension in the room by putting up his hands as a sign of peace.
Luigi surprised both himself and Bowser when he breaks the silence with the question, “W-Why am I here?” Bowser takes another step closer towards Luigi, but this results in Luigi pressing his back against the wall. While this sight was disheartening for Bowser to see, he explains to Luigi that he was hoping they could talk. Luigi quickly shakes his head as he tells Bowser that they have nothing to talk about. Bowser disagrees with this before he confesses to Luigi that he has feelings for him.
Both Luigi and Bowser are completely quiet as they both processed the words Bowser just said. Bowser wanted to break the silence, he really did, but truthfully…, he didn’t know how to. What even is the proper thing to say after you told someone you have feelings for them?
It was both a relief and somewhat scary when Luigi unexpectedly broke the silence with two simple words:
“How long?”
Bowser honestly wasn’t sure whether it was better to lie or to tell the truth. While scared, he eventually admits this to Luigi:
“A while. A really long while. From the moment you first made a pass on me, that was when I knew that you had feelings for me. Funnily enough, that was also when I realized that I had feelings for you, but I was honestly scared to act on these feelings until now because I didn’t know if anyone would accept our relationship.”
Even though Luigi has a neutral expression on the outside, so many different emotions are rushing through his head on the inside. Joy (for the briefest of moments), sadness, shocked, but most of all…Luigi is angry. He’s angry that Bowser never properly communicated with him (Luigi would’ve understood if Bowser had expressed how scared he felt about starting a relationship with him). But what angered Luigi the most was that Bowser knew how Luigi felt about him and still purposely decided to lead him on for 6 months.
And yet…, all Luigi could whisper was, “Y-You knew…?”
The sad look in Bowser’s eyes was all the confirmation Luigi needed.
“I’m so sorry, Luigi…,” Bowser whispered while taking a few steps towards Luigi.
Luigi quickly shakes his head as the tears started to roll down his face.
“No… You don’t get to say sorry… ,” Luigi stated. “Not af…not after you knew how I felt and still chose to use me over and over again…”
Bowser was quiet. There was so much he wanted to explain to Luigi, like how he was trying to protect Luigi from everyone’s disapproval of their relationship, how he was terrified that his citizens would force him to pick Luigi or his crown, and how Kamek and Kammy had told Bowser that they think Luigi would be a terrible king/king consort.
But Bowser couldn’t. The words were just stuck in his throat and all he could do was quietly watch Luigi with sadness in his eyes.
Seeing that Bowser wasn’t even going to attempt to defend himself, Luigi suddenly let out a, “Get out.” with nothing but hatred in his voice.
Now, Bowser was both surprised and scared to suddenly hear Luigi speak in such an angry tone. Bowser looked at Luigi and noticed how angry Luigi suddenly looked.
“Luigi, please, let me explain-,”
But, Luigi doesn’t give Bowser a chance to explain himself because in a fit of anger, Luigi screams the following:
“I SAID LEAVE! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT AND GET OUT OF MY LIFE! I DON’T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I HATE YOU!”
Bowser is hesitant (and slightly scared because he has never seen this side of Luigi before), but he ultimately decides to respect Luigi’s wish.
But as soon as Bowser leaves the room, Luigi breaks down crying.
________________
2-3 hours later, Luigi returns to the Jungle Kingdom’s palace (after Luigi demanded Bowser to leave him alone, Kamek was ordered by Bowser to peacefully take Luigi back to the Jungle Kingdom). When he arrives at the throne room, he sees DK and CK having a heated discussion on where Luigi could be. The arguing soon stops when DK and CK notice Luigi. DK lets out a sigh of relief as he rushes to Luigi and gives him a tight (but also gentle) hug. DK asks Luigi if he’s alright, to which Luigi tries to reassure DK that he’s fine and just needs to rest at his palace room. DK can tell that something’s bothering Luigi, but he agrees to Luigi’s request. After CK gives Luigi a hug and tells him that he’s glad he’s safe, DK and Luigi head to Luigi’s palace room. As soon as they enter the bedroom, DK closes the door and (without looking at Luigi) saids, “I’m really happy you’re alright. It was really scary coming back to the tree house to find you missing. I…I thought I lost you.” However, DK’s happiness quickly turns into worry when he suddenly hears a loud “thud”. DK instantly turns around and gets scared when he sees Luigi crouching down on the floor. DK rushes to Luigi’s side before asking him, “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” When Luigi looks at DK, DK is just devastated to see the trails of tears running down his boyfriend’s face. DK doesn’t know what to do, but he decides to give Luigi a hug as he tells him that, “It’s alright. Just let it all out.” This statement from DK results in Luigi crying his eyes out for the next 5-10 minutes.
After 5-10 minutes passes, Luigi has mostly stopped crying, but neither he nor DK have moved from their spot. Eventually, Luigi whispers this statement so quietly that DK almost missed it:
“Bowser kidnapped me because he wanted to tell me that he has feelings for me.”
DK is STUNNED (and I mean really fucking stunned) upon hearing what Luigi just said. However, he pushes his feelings down as his main focus is Luigi. DK is very hesitant to ask this, but he does eventually ask the following: “And…do you…?” Luckily, DK doesn’t have to finish his question because Luigi quickly shakes his head while saying the following to DK:
“I don’t have any…romantic feelings for Bowser. It’s just…really hard for me to cope with this right now because he told me that he has had feelings for me for a long while, but was too scared to say anything.”
DK noticed the slight hesitation in Luigi’s voice when he said, 'any romantic feelings.' DK asks Luigi, “Do you…have any non-romantic feelings for Bowser?”
Luigi is quiet, then answers DK question with the following:
“I don’t know… I mean…, when Bowser and I were just friends, everything was great. But now that I know that Bowser has feelings for me…, I feel like he and I can’t hang out anymore without things getting really awkward.”
DK is quiet as he processes Luigi’s response. After about 2-3 minutes, DK suggests that Luigi should try to befriend Bowser again. Luigi immediately becomes surprised with DK’s suggestion, but DK quickly makes a point that even though Luigi doesn’t have any romantic feelings for Bowser anymore, DK can tell that Luigi still misses Bowser’s friendship. Luigi tries to disagree with DK, but he soon stops in his tracks when he realizes that DK’s right. Despite not having feelings for Bowser anymore, Luigi deep down does miss Bowser’s friendship. Luigi does tell DK that he wants to try to reach out to Bowser in his own time. DK smiles and tells Luigi, “Whatever I can do to help, just let me know, okay?” before kissing Luigi’s head. Luigi smiles and nods before telling DK, “I will. Thank you, amore mio.” (Amore mio= my love)
______________________
2 months later…
This scene starts off with Bowser reading a boring, yet important, document in his office. Suddenly, Bowser hears a knock at the door. Bowser tells the mysterious visitor to enter. The visitor (which turns out to be just Kammy) informs Bowser that he has a special visitor. After Bowser asks Kammy if she and Kamek can handle whatever the visitor needs, Kammy explains that while they would in normal circumstances, the reason that she came to tell Bowser was because the special visitor is actually Luigi. This surprisesBowser (since his last interaction with Luigi went terribly), so he follows Kammy to the throne room. At the throne room, Bowser is speechless upon seeing Luigi with a basket of chocolate chip cookies. Bowser asks Kammy to leave them as he wants to talk to Luigi in private. Kammy obeys and leaves them alone, but as soon as she’s gone, Bowser asks Luigi, “Why are you here?” Luigi answers with, “I was hoping I could talk to you.” Bowser (in a somewhat angry tone) asks Luigi what does he want to talk about. Luigi explains that he wants to apologize for what happened between them 2 months ago.
Bowser is quiet as Luigi said the following:
“I’m sorry for the things I’ve said to you. I…I did a lot of thinking over these past 2 months and I understand now why you didn’t want to tell me about your feelings. You were scared. You were scared that the people you care about, like Kamek and your citizens, weren’t going to accept our relationship and I understand that now. You have to put your people first and if they had to make you choose between me and your kingdom…, it would’ve been an impossible choice.”
“Yea…,” Bowser said. “It would have…”
It’s quiet for a few seconds before Bowser speaks again.
“You were right to be angry with me,” Bowser admits. “Since the very beginning, I knew that you had feelings for me, but I just kept using you over and over again. You didn’t deserve that. You don’t deserve that and I’m glad that you found someone who treats you better than I ever have.”
Luigi and Bowser are quiet as they both processed the words they spoken. Eventually, Luigi breaks the silence again.
“Do you…want to start over…?” Luigi asked. As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized how his statement could easily be misinterpreted, so he quickly adds. “As friends, I mean.”
Bowser is quiet. Eventually he confesses with the following:
“I...I can’t do that right now. I still have feelings for you and hanging out with you will only make it harder for me to let you go. I would like to eventually start over as friends, but I need to stop having feelings for you before I can even consider anything else..”
“I understand…,” Luigi responds. Realizing he was still holding the basket of cookies, he hands them for Bowser. “I made these for you. As a peace offering. I didn’t know what kind you like, so I made chocolate chip cookies. I hope that’s okay.”
Bowser lets out a laugh as he explains that yes, he is okay with chocolate chip cookies. Luigi exchanges a smile, then his watch suddenly goes off. Realizing what time it is, Luigi tells Bowser that he needs to head back to the Mushroom Kingdom. Before he leaves the throne room, he looks back and Bowser and saids, “Whenever you’re ready to start over as friends...,” Luigi gives Bowser one last smile before leaving Bowser alone in the throne room.

Who wants to hear a story about Luigi x Donkey Kong that also has a large side of angst Bowuigi?
Because after being very inspired by @cbfanart, I sure as hell want to talk about it! :D
Y’all know the drill: Part of the story is under the cut because my dudes, this story is so long I have to split this into multiple posts.
Read Part 2 here!
********************
So one thing I want to emphasize in this story/idea is that in the beginning, Luigi has feelings for Bowser. However, the kicker in all of this is that while Bowser is completely aware of Luigi‘s feelings towards him, Bowser is just dealing with a lot of insecurities and fears that he honestly doesn’t know if he even feels the same way. Hell, every time Luigi tries to make a move on Bowser (in an attempt to let him know how he feels), Bowser accepts Luigi‘s advances at first, but this only last for about 5 seconds before Bowser realizes what he’s doing and quickly rejects Luigi’s advances.
And this cycle of Bowser leading Luigi on goes on for 6 whole months.
I don’t think I need to describe to you how much pain and heartbreak Luigi goes through during those 6 months.
So at the end of the sixth month, Luigi starts to realize that Bowser is never going to have feelings for him. However, just because Luigi realizes this doesn’t mean that it’s easy for him to accept. In fact, as soon as Mario steps foot into his and Luigi’s house later that day (he just came back from a date with Peach), he could tell that something was really, really wrong. Sure, nothing in the house looked out of the ordinary, but the atmosphere just felt…sad. Sad and broken.
When Mario checks in Luigi’s room, the very first thing he noticed was his baby brother on his bed with his back towards him. At first, Mario thought that Luigi was sleeping, but as soon as Mario heard a distinct sniffle from Luigi, that was when Mario realized that his little brother was not sleeping but actually crying.
When Mario gently asks Luigi what’s wrong, this would be when Luigi tells Mario everything. From having feelings for Bowser to Bowser rejecting all of his advances, Luigi makes sure no stone is left unturned as he tells Mario everything that’s happened over the past six months. So many emotions are racing through Mario’s head after hearing Luigi’s confession. As much as every part of Mario wants to go to the Dark Lands and throw Bowser in a lava pit…, he…can’t. Now, it’s not because Mario doesn’t want to beat Bowser to a pulp (trust me, he absolutely does), but Bowser is not Mario’s #1 priority right now. Mario’s #1 priority right now is being here with Luigi and helping him with his heartbreak.
After Luigi tells Mario everything, Mario becomes a really supportive big brother for Luigi. However, while he’s helping Luigi, Mario inwardly tries to come up with a plan to get Bowser out of Luigi’s head (ideally, for good). The goods news is that Mario and Peach are actually traveling to the Jungle Kingdom in a few days (because Peach and Cranky Kong/CK are going to sign a peace treaty), so this trip would be a great way to help Luigi get over Bowser. However, the downside is that CK was very specific in only wanting Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, and himself to be in the room where they sign the peace treaty. (I like to imagine that CK just doesn’t like outsiders very much.)
The next morning, Mario tries to convince Peach to bring Luigi along with them. However, Peach is really hesitant with this because of CK’s request. Eventually, Mario does confess to Peach that the reason he wants Luigi to come along with them is because someone (he doesn’t mention Bowser’s name for Luigi’s sake) broke Luigi’s heart by rejecting all of Luigi’s advances and Mario thinks that taking Luigi to the Jungle Kingdom will help him with his heartbreak. Peach ponders this for about a minute and while she does end up allowing Luigi to come with them, it has to be on the condition that Luigi’s there to only to take important meeting notes.
2 days after Mario and Peach’s conversation, Mario, Peach, and Luigi (who was fine with leaving the Mushroom Kingdom once Mario told him he was allowed to come to the Jungle Kingdom with him and Peach) arrive at the Jungle Kingdom. The three of them meet two large Kong guards at the palace entrance. Peach introduces herself, Mario, and Luigi and tells the two guards that they are here for official royal business with CK. The two guards exchange a glance and are quiet for a few seconds, then one of them silently gestures Peach, Mario, and Luigi to follow him. The three humans follow the guard all the way to the throne room where we see CK sitting on his throne. Peach saids the following while bowing, “Greetings, King Cranky Kong. My name is Princess Peach and these two gentlemen accompanying me are Mario and Luigi, the brave heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. I am so glad that we can start a new chapter of peace between our two kingdoms.” CK is completely quiet because his entire focus is on Luigi. Using his staff to point at Luigi, CK tells Peach that the outsider (Luigi) is not supposed to be here. Peach then explains that while yes, they didn’t originally agree for Luigi to be here with them, she thought it would be a good idea to have someone write down everything they talk about during their meeting/signing of the peace treaty. CK continues to stare at Luigi (who starts to get nervous from the attention), but he eventually allows Luigi to stay for the meeting. However, CK tells Luigi that he will keep his eye on him (which makes Luigi even more nervous cause he doesn’t want to get on CK’s bad side).
CK leads the three humans to the main conference room, but as soon as he opens the door, they all see Donkey Kong (DK) playing some kind of sports game with 5 Kong guards. CK yells, “What the hell is going on here?!” which causes DK and the Kong guards to immediately stop what they’re doing. The 5 guards quickly leave the room before DK explains to his dad that he got bored while waiting for all them to arrive. CK and DK have a small discussion/argument for the next minute or 2, but it eventually ends with CK telling DK that he will deal with “this” (DK and the 5 guards causing chaos in the main conference room) later. Since Mario and Peach already know who DK is (since I imagine that this story takes place after the events of the Mario Movie), CK makes the decision to introduce Luigi to DK (and vice versa) with this specific line:
“Luigi, this is my son, Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong, this is Luigi, Mario’s brother and one of the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom.”
Everyone is quiet, but the silence is quickly broken when DK starts laughing at Luigi. This reaction kind of shatters Luigi’s self-confidence, which causes Mario to get mad and ask, “What the hell is so funny?!” DK wipes the tears off his face as he explains that with the amount of time that passed since the events of the Mario Movie, DK forgot how much of a weakling Luigi looks. This shatters Luigi’s self-confidence even more as Mario asks DK with a really pissed off tone, “And what the hell is that supposed to mean?!” Luckily, CK was able to stop the argument before Mario could have a chance to start a fight with DK.
The next scene takes place 2-3 hours later. Peach and CK are in the middle of a serious discussion, Mario is intensely listening to Peach and CK, Luigi is writing down important notes from the conversation, and DK is just sitting there looking really bored. He notices a nearby discarded napkin (since earlier in the meeting, a Kong guard brought them snacks) and grabs it. DK then watches Luigi for a few seconds before he gets an idea. DK then crumples his discarded napkin into a ball and, without anyone noticing, throws it at Luigi. The napkin quietly lands on Luigi’s notes, which causes Luigi to look at DK with a confused look. DK silently mouths, “What are you doing?” Luigi switches his attention between his notes and DK for a few seconds, but he remembers how hurt he felt earlier because of DK. Because of this, Luigi silently mouths, “Why do you care? I’m just Mario’s weakling little brother.” For some reason, Luigi’s remark stung DK, but before he can ponder this guilt for too long, CK suddenly smacks DK on the head with his staff. DK screams, “Ow! What was that for?!” To which CK responds, “You need to pay attention, son! I won’t be around forever, and it’s important that you know how to do all this royalty stuff!” DK and CK have a small argument for a while before they eventually go back to the actual task at hand.
3 hours later, the royal meeting is over for the day. As one of the Kong guards is telling some sort of story to DK, DK looks over to his right and sees Luigi and Mario exchanging a goodbye across the room. Feeling guilty about their first interaction, DK tells the Kong guard that they’ll talk later before walking towards Luigi. After Mario leaves, Luigi notices DK walking towards him and while he’s still a little hurt from their first interaction, he decides to stay and hear DK out. The following conversation is exchanged:
“Hey. Luigi, right?” DK asked.
Luigi is quiet for a few seconds, then answers, “That’s my name, or would you rather call me ‘Mario’s weakling little brother’?”
DK nervously laughs while rubbing the back of his head.
“Right…, I deserve that,” DK responded. It’s awkwardly silent between DK and Luigi for a few seconds before DK speaks again.
“Look…, I’m really sorry about what I said earlier,” DK apologized. “This whole peace treaty situation has been…really tense for me. Between my dad wanting me to take on royalty responsibilities to having to deal with your brother being under the same roof as me until all of this is done…, I’ve been really impulsive with my words and actions lately.”
Luigi is silent for a few seconds, then asks, “So when you said I look like a weakling…?”
“That was just me being an jerk and taking my anger out on you,” DK answered.
Luigi is quiet while thinking about what DK said. After a few minutes, Luigi smiles and tells DK, “I forgive you. And I’m sorry for snapping at you earlier. It’s just…things at home have been really stressful for me and Mario wanted me to come along on this trip to get away from it all.”
DK is quiet as he ponders what Luigi just said. DK then gets an idea and asks Luigi the following with a smile.
“Do you…want to start over…? I know this place where we can get breakfast before tomorrow’s royal meeting, so if you want, we can go there and actually get to know each other better.”
Luigi thinks about DK’s offer for only a few seconds before he smiles, nods, and saids, “I would like that.”
After that conversation, Luigi and DK would have breakfast every morning before each royal meeting. During each of their meet-ups, Luigi and DK would learn a lot about each other. For example, on their second meet-up, DK learns that Luigi defeated a whole mansion full of Boos in order to save Mario (from Luigi’s Mansion). On their third meet-up, Luigi learns that DK is pretty much immune to hypnosis (from Donkey Kong Country Returns).
Six days after Peach, Mario, and Luigi arrived at the Jungle Kingdom, Luigi and DK decide to have dinner together (instead of breakfast). Both of them have a really good time at dinner, but the important detail to note is that this was the first and only meet-up that Mario spied on them. The reason for this is because after Luigi told Mario about his and DK’s meet-ups, Mario wanted to make sure that DK’s not hurting Luigi in anyway. However, during Luigi’s dinner with DK, Mario noticed that Luigi is…happy. Smiling, laughing, seeing his brother like this just warmed Mario’s heart (especially since this was the first time Luigi felt happiness after his heartbreak with Bowser).
The morning after Luigi and DK’s first dinner together, Peach and CK have officially signed a peace treaty. However, because the signing of the peace treaty took much longer than Peach anticipated (she expected it to take 2-3 days but it instead took a week), she tells Mario and Luigi that they are going to leave Jungle Kingdom as soon as possible (as opposed to spending the night) because she needs to get back to her kingdom. Even though DK knew that Luigi was going to have to return to the Mushroom Kingdom eventually, seeing the green-clad plumber leave still made DK sad for some reason. After everyone exchanges their goodbyes and right before Peach, Mario, and Luigi enter Peach’s pink plane, DK screams, “Wait!” Mario, Peach, and Luigi face DK before DK asks Peach, “Why doesn’t Luigi stay here for another week?” Seeing Peach’s confused expression, DK further explains that unlike Mario and Peach, Luigi never got the chance to fully see what all the Jungle Kingdom has to offer (from the Great Ring of Kong to the kart workshop). Peach isn’t sure how to respond to DK’s request, but Luigi does make things easier for DK by telling Mario and Peach that he would like to stay at the Jungle Kingdom a little longer. Peach is still a little hesitant with this (because she’s worried that she might needs Luigi’s help back at the MK), but once Mario states that he’s fine with Luigi staying with DK, Peach allows Luigi to stay at the Jungle Kingdom for another week while she and Mario head back to the Mushroom Kingdom today.
I’m going to gloss over what happens during Luigi’s extended visit at the Jungle Kingdom, but I will point out three very important details that happen during Luigi’s extended visit.
On the third night of Luigi’s extended visit, Luigi decides to tell DK everything about his “relationship” with Bowser. From his feelings towards Bowser to how Bowser rejected all of Luigi’s advances, Luigi just puts it all out in the open. During this confession, Luigi does get really emotional, which makes DK feel both sad and angry because he doesn’t understand how someone could do that to someone as pure-hearted and kind as Luigi.
2 nights later, DK decides to surprise Luigi by making a very special dinner for him. As the two are enjoying the food DK made for them, DK confesses to Luigi that he has feelings for him. To be perfectly honest, DK has had feelings for Luigi for a while (this is the real reason why DK wanted Luigi to stay an extra week at the Jungle Kingdom), but after hearing what all Luigi went through with Bowser, DK wanted to be completely open and honest with Luigi.
Hearing DK’s confession brought Luigi so much joy and relief because after their heartfelt conversation 2 nights ago, Luigi discovered that he has feelings for DK. However, because of his trauma with Bowser, Luigi (up until this point) was really hesitant with accepting his feelings for DK and was also afraid to make a move on DK for fear of DK leading him on.
On the morning that Luigi has to head back to the Mushroom Kingdom, DK offers to take Luigi (his new boyfriend) back to the MK by kart. While Luigi is a little scared (because during his stay, he discovered how…not great of a kart driver DK is), he agrees to DK’s offer. The drive to the MK went very smoothly (much to Luigi’s surprise). As a thank you, Luigi asks DK if he wants to spend the rest of the day & night at his and Mario’s house to rest (since I imagine the drive from the Jungle Kingdom to the Mushroom Kingdom would take a while). While DK wants to, he tells Luigi that he should head back to the Jungle Kingdom because CK wants him to attend some royal meeting early tomorrow morning. Before DK leaves, he kisses Luigi on the lips and tells him that they’ll see each other again soon.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Bowser had been staking out at Mario and Luigi’s house for the past week because he wanted to talk to Luigi (but had been unsuccessful before due to Mario repeatedly telling him that Luigi wants nothing to do with Bowser anymore). However, seeing DK kiss Luigi just...did not sit well with Bowser…
After their first kiss, DK and Luigi take turns spending every weekend at their partner’s kingdom (week 1: DK spends the weekend at the MK, week 2: Luigi spends the weekend at the Jungle Kingdom, etc.). On one particular Saturday morning (2 months after their first kiss), Luigi and DK are just watching television at DK’s tree house when they suddenly hear Diddy Kong scream, “Donkey Kong!” Luigi and DK quickly go out to the deck to see Diddy Kong running towards the tree house with nothing but panic in his eyes. When Diddy Kong finally arrives at the tree house, DK immediately asks Diddy Kong what’s wrong. Diddy Kong takes a minute to catch his breath, but as soon as he’s able to, he quickly tells Luigi and DK that Bowser and his minions are attacking Jungle Kingdom. Luigi turned as pale as a Boo upon the mention of Bowser’s name, but he tries to remain calm as DK asks Diddy Kong where CK is. Diddy Kong explains that CK and a bunch of Kong guards are preparing an attack on Bowser and his minions, although he doesn’t know how much time they have since Bowser and his minions are pretty much beelining to the palace. DK is conflicted on whether he should bring Luigi with him or have him stay at the tree house, but as soon as he sees Luigi’s nervous expression, DK tells Luigi that he needs to stay at the tree house. Luigi immediately disagrees with DK as he explains that he can’t let DK fight Bowser alone. DK attempts to reassure Luigi that he’s not going to fight Bowser alone because he’ll have a bunch of Kongs (guards or otherwise) helping him. Plus, DK also kind of brags in the sense that since they’ve defeated Bowser once, he’s confident Bowser can be defeated again. Luigi is still hesitant with DK’s decision, but he eventually nods with a worried expression and saids, “Please be safe.” DK kisses Luigi’s forehead and saids, “I will. I love you, Luigi.” Luigi whispers, “Ti amo, DK.” (I love you in Italian) before DK and Diddy Kong quickly leave, leaving Luigi alone.
About 30 minutes pass by and DK still hasn’t returned. Luigi is scared. He wants to respect DK’s wishes and stay put, but at the same time, the guilt of innocent Kongs getting hurt/killed is just destroying him. Suddenly, Luigi hears a knock at the door. At first, Luigi thought it was DK, but then he realized that this is DK’s tree house. There would be no reason for DK to knock on his own tree house door. Even though his brain knew it was a bad idea, Luigi hesitantly makes the decision to open the door.
*********
But what is on the other side of the door you may ask?
Well, stay tuned for part 2 and you'll find out. ;)

There are two reason why I enjoy the probably forgotten video game, Super Princess Peach.
a. It's Nintendo first video game where Peach is the protagonist.
And I cannot stress out this second reason enough:
b. It would be so easy to incorporate a Bowuigi B plot based on the fact that Bowser kidnapped Luigi and the considerable amount of time it took Peach to actually save Luigi in Giddy Sky (i.e., World 7).
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#luigi nintendo#bowser nintendo#bowser#luigi#super mario#super mario bros#super princess peach#spoilers#kind of?#I mean Super Princess Peach is a 19-year old game but I don't know if people actually like or remember it#also should point out that every intermission in the game takes place at night#meaning that it officially takes Peach 7 days to save Luigi and 8 days to save Mario#do you guys know how much Bowuigi moments could be incorporated in a span of 7 days?#if this isn't a potential fast burn Bowuigi B plot story I don't know what is#this idea would also be a good way to make Army Hammer Bro have a bigger antagonist role than he did in the game#for example it wasn't Bowser's idea to send Luigi to Giddy Sky/World 7 but actually Army Hammer Bro's idea#he noticed Bowser's developing feelings towards Luigi and he couldn't let that get in the way of conquering the MK#we only see Army Hammer Bro in the opening and when we have to fight him at the end of the game and that kind of bothers me#especially since a) he was specifically given a unique design that's different from all the other hammer brothers#and b) he was never brought back after he appeared in this game#anyway that's enough of my rambling

After Luigi and Bowser officially revealed their relationship (and after Mario very openly expressed to Bowser about how much he does not like him), I like to imagine that Bowser would be the type of person/Koopa to give Mario gifts just for the sole purpose of making Mario mad.
For example, let's look at the movie detail that Mario despises mushrooms and never wants to eat them. In response to this piece of information, I like to think that Bowser would give Mario a gift basket that's filled with nothing but all kinds of different mushrooms on Mario and Luigi's birthday.
Another example: Mario absolutely loves spaghetti. While Bowser and Mario are spending quality time together (purely because Luigi asked them to), I see Bowser as someone who would give Mario a plate of spaghetti (that he cooked himself), but it would purposely come out so wrong and so bad that it's not even spaghetti anymore.
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#bowser#bowser nintendo#mario#mario nintendo#super mario#super mario bros#not really sure what else to say here if I'm being completely honest#idk the idea of Bowser doing things just to piss Mario off just sounds funny to me#the only reason Mario hasn't killed Bowser yet is because that would make Luigi upset#so instead Mario will be passive aggressive and do little things that he knows will piss Bowser off

Poor Bowser just wants to be Luigi's boyfriend...
Don't worry Bowser, Luigi will realize how you feel about him eventually. :)
He's just really oblivious when it comes to romance stuff. 😂
Thank you so much for drawing this @cbfanart! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you to @itsamenickname for giving me this idea! I present to you, more oblivious Luigi! If you guys have any more funny ideas of oblivious Luigi, let me know!
Also, they did get to go to their adventure. The problem tho, Mario and Peach believe is a fun date for the four of them since Luigi’s idea for an adventure is going camping so….

#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#luigi nintendo#bowser nintendo#luigi#bowser#reblog#not my work#thank you so much again for drawing this! ❤️❤️#everything about this post is just *chef's kiss* really wholesome and amazing! ❤️#especially the detail that even Mario and Peach think that Bowser and Luigi are dating XD#everyone thinks that Luigi and Bowser are a couple except for Luigi and that is just really hilarious to me XD#Luigi is the purest thing in the entire world and I love him for it

Do you guys remember that one particular scene in the opening in Mario Super Sluggers where Donkey Kong straight up sent Luigi flying across the baseball field?
Well..., what if change it to where Bowser was not only in the audience and saw the whole scene unfold, but also add in the fun major detail that Bowser and Luigi are dating?
Now, even though Luigi didn't sustain any major injuries, I like to imagine that this particular incident would be one of the main reasons why Bowser becomes really protective over Luigi whenever they participate in any sporting events.
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#luigi nintendo#bowser nintendo#luigi#bowser#super mario#super mario bros#mario super sluggers#this idea originally started out as me wanting to talk about the Strikers games but then I remember Mario Super Sluggers existed#particularly the scene where Luigi could've very easily died from DK because that gorilla sent him flying across the field#thank goodness Luigi didn't sustain any injuries from that game#because Bowser would've lost his mind if anything happened to his tiny green boyfriend#also I should point out that after this incident Bowser is still fine with participating in any sporting events (dangerous or not)#his concern is that he just doesn't want to see Luigi get hurt again#if that makes sense#Bowser doesn't care if he gets hurt (because that just shows how tough he is) but he now understands how fragile humans/Luigi is#also whether Luigi and Bowser's relationship is actually a secret or not I will leave that up in the air#there are a few ways to about both routes but I'm too lazy to come up with all the details of each route at the current moment

On a much lighter note though, when it comes to Bowuigi, I think we can all agree that Princess Daisy would be Luigi and Bowser's biggest supporter/cheerleader.
#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#luigi x bowser#luigi nintendo#bowser nintendo#luigi#bowser#princess daisy#princess daisy nintendo#super mario#super mario bros#note that when I say biggest supporter/cheerleader I mean that Daisy would be completely okay with them from the get-go#like as soon as Luigi and Bowser tell her that they're dating she would be like “Aw sick dudes when's the wedding?!”#or something along those lines#note that she saids “Aw sick dudes” in a good tone#hashtag Bowuigi has Princess Daisy's seal of approval#also I'm not saying that Mario nor Peach wouldn't eventually be okay with Luigi and Bowser's relationship#but Bowser has been their enemy for years#so it would make perfect sense for them to be hesitant with the fact that their enemy is dating the hero's little brother#meanwhile Bowser has only really bothered Daisy in the Mario Party games#but it wasn't a personal attack on Daisy because Bowser messed with everyone in Mario Party#should point out that I haven't played Super Mario Bros. Wonder so I do not know Daisy and Bowser's relationship in that game
