The screen protector finally arrived so…

In Rafiki voice*

It is time!

Edit: I got everything working but for some reason if I undock the switch then put it back in the tv won’t have sound until you turn it off and back on with the switch in the dock. It’s not hard to fix but it is annoying compared to the switch 1 not having these issues.

I feel like I’m using an old computer where after I put the floppy disk in I turn off the computer and back on again to get it to work.

Anyone else having this problem?

[pepperycar]

@bberetd Ayyyyy! Let’s go!

[pepperycar]

Gonna be gone for awhile, going to Greece for a week and have to drive with the family to the airport in 6 hours so even though my switch 2 has arrived, I won’t be playing that or Mario kart world for at least a week. (Maybe longer because I could only pre-order the non-bundle version. Yeah more money.. 😅)

@silenzahra @vulpixfairy1985 @bberetd @itsavee4117 @rainbogen @roscolate

I hope you guys enjoy Mario Kart World and let me know if it’s fun lol.

[pepperycar]

@vulpixfairy1985 Why?!?! 😭😭

I must cure this sadness!

As he stood to head back home, he consciously gripped his golden dog tags, wonder what became of Luigi’s silver ones. He let out a deep sigh before whispering,

“Nothing can hurt us as long as we’re together….”

“As long as we’re together, everything will be okay.”

Mario froze. Only one other person besides him and Peach knew the words to his promise. A voice he knew so well, he dared to hope as he slowly turned around, clutching Luigi’s hat close to his hopeful, fluttering heart.

Luigi.

Luigi was standing in the middle of the bridge, a tender smile on his face. He looked beat up and bruised, some small cuts on his face and ripped clothes, shaking with so much adrenaline or relief Mario couldn’t tell, he was amazed Luigi was standing, but that didn’t matter. He was here, Luigi was here..

Luigi was alive.

Luigi shakily opened his arms, offering Mario a hug. Mario didn’t even register his own movements as the next thing he knew he was embracing Luigi tightly, squeezing him so tight he’d probably crack his ribs and lungs, but Mario didn’t care, and Luigi didn’t seem to either as he hugged back just as tightly.

He didn’t know how or why, but he was so grateful to have his little brother back, his twin, the other half of his soul. His broken heart started to heal as he took everything in. His brother’s silver dog tags, scuffed and dirty, but still there around his neck where they belonged. His brother’s warm but shaky body, his warm drawn out breath on his hair, his heartbeat fast but strong and steady as he leaned against his thin chest.

Whether it was the relief or exhaustion suddenly coming over him, Mario didn’t know, but he let himself go limp against him as he collapsed against Luigi’s shaking form. He let himself drift to sleep, Luigi’s steady breaths and heartbeat reassuring him that this wasn’t a dream, that this was real.

That he had the most important thing in his world back in his arms where he belonged.

[pepperycar]

Yaaaaawn* ah, it’s been a while since I’ve been here. Let’s see what I miss-

Where did all these rainbows come from?

Hello ma’am! I saw you like to write, and thought I would give you a request/small idea of angst/comfort for the mario bros! ^^ (angst/comfort with a wholesome ending.)

Perhaps Mario having a panic attack (after the events of the movie) over Luigi and thinks he’s a horrible brother who doesn’t deserve Luigi, and Luigi has to comfort him. Perhaps it could end with the bros falling asleep with Mario on top of Luigi? It’s fine if that’s too weird-

Of course you don’t have to do this ask. But thank you in advance if you do! :0

Hello my dear. I’m more than happy to answer this ask with a short story based on your suggestion. I just needed some time to write as I was focusing on getting “A Symphony of Liaisons” ready. And so I was inspired and here is the final result.

Please enjoy, my dears!

Banish Panic with Love

Mario just couldn’t sleep that night…even after knowing both he and his little brother were once again safe in their room after bidding farewell to their new friends (with a definitive promise to see them again) and their family being nothing but loving and supportive in helping them process all that has happened during their adventure…an adventure that nearly made him lose his most important and precious person he had sworn to protect with all his being.

He slid out of his bed to shuffle close to where Luigi was sleeping…the younger plumber looked peaceful with some light snores here and there…a picturesque vision of serenity which warmed his heart. Mario knelt down to gently brush his hand over his little brother’s head to comb his soft curls of his hair before cupping his warm cheek. He chuckled softly at the way the younger man smiled in his sleep and nuzzled into his palm, a loving whisper of “Mario” escaping his lips…along a statement that made him freeze…

“I knew you’d come for me…”

This makes Mario flashback to all he endured to rescue Luigi…he did come for him as he promised…yet at the same time…he…

Ba-bump…ba-bump…ba-bump…ba-bump, ba-jump, ba-bump-

What’s wrong with him?…why was he hearing his heartbeat so loudly in his head…he extracted his hand; it was shaking…the world seems to be spinning around in dark spirals and he found himself collapsing onto his knees onto the carpeted floor. He felt as if cold and hot spears are piercing his skin…and his eyes clenched shut.

He clutched his head and his thumping chest now seemed to run like a jackhammer on overdrive…scared whimpers escaped his now hoarse and dry throat…he was sure he was dying…darkness was encroaching him…all around…

“M…rio!”

He swore he heard someone call him…it was muffled…yet he could sense the intense love and urgency in the tone…something seemed to grab him hard and fast…but he felt safe…the squeezing hold he’s in made him melt…warm skin cushioned his own cold and clammy cheek…

“Ma…o…here…I’m…here…Lu…gi…”

He tried to focus on the voice…so kind…so loving…and so gentle…this was then followed by firm kisses washing over his forehead…his eyes were still shut…just not as tight as before…he didn’t feel so hot and cold anymore…arms…there were thin yet strong arms embraced him…

“L-Luigi…I’m…I…didn’t…”

“Here…I’m here…Mario…you’re safe…I got you…”

“I’m…I…”

“Big brother…breathe with me…”

And Mario immediately obeyed…it was Luigi…he could now hear him as clear as crystal…he inhaled through his nose and out his mouth…over and over again, sending relaxed chills over his weakened body. He then braved to open his eyes, finding Luigi in his line of vision, his face riddled with concern and love radiating in palpable waves.

“Mario…you made me worried…you were having a panic attack which woke me up…what happened?”

Worried…he made Luigi worried…what kind of big brother was he? He failed in his duty to protect him from harm. He was indeed bringing his little brother down just like their dad said. Filled with shame and guilt, he covered his eyes, hot tears rained down his cheeks and seeping through his clenched fingers…

“It’s all my fault…I’m a horrible brother…I made you suffer, Lu…I don’t deserve you!”

Mario didn’t see Luigi shaking his head vehemently and how his eyes teared up in solidarity as he gathered his broken self in to his arms…

“You are not a horrible brother, Mario! That’s the absolute truth. I always believed that you’d be there for me no matter what.”

“I hurt you…you should hate me for making you wait for so long to rescue you…” Mario wept, his tears falling ever faster and harder. Despite his sadness, he managed to reach up to brush away Luigi’s tears, “You shouldn’t weep for someone who keeps bringing you down…”

Mario finds himself pressing foreheads with Luigi, his ocean blue eyes serious and grounding with such conviction and tenderness combined.

“You never bring me down. You are my hero and the best big brother there is. I am so lucky to have you and I could never hate someone who went through so much for me…I love you, Mario…and I always will…” Luigi reciprocated the loving gesture as he reached to cup his brother’s cheeks to wipe away his tears and guided him up to his bed, “Stay with me…I want you here with me.”

Mario shuddered with relief at Luigi’s tender reassuring words. He laid sprawled against his brother’s taller stature, his head laid against his thin chest. The warm green blankets covered him, the heavy weight bringing him grounding comfort he didn’t realise he needed. One of his free hands is gripped securely by his little brother, his calloused thumb rubbing over his knuckles.

Ba-bump…ba-bump…ba-bump…

Luigi’s heartbeat is soothing and rhythmic to listen and his own heartbeat fell into harmonious synchronisation, calm finally washing over his exhausted being…his panic attack now a distant memory…

“We have each other, Mario…I’ll keep you safe…just as you did for me many times before…sleep now…”

While still concentrating on his brother’s heartbeat, Mario fixated his sleepy eyes onto the gentle smile on Luigi’s face and savoured the kisses pressed onto his head…wrapped in the cocoon of neverending love and comfort from his little brother, he surrenders to the welcome darkness of slumber…but not before letting Luigi know his sentiments…

“Thank you, Luigi…I’m nothing without you and I love you too, Luigi…”

I have no idea what’s going on in America and I don’t watch the news but knowing it’s Donald Jackass Trump talking about Transgender ‘issues’ and JK Rowling is celebrating like the transphobic bitch she is (no offence if you like Harry Potter, I’m a fan of the original series too but she is) just saying for what ever the outcome, whatever bullshit he comes up with for all this transphobic shit, feel free to to use this post’s comments to rant and diss out Trump and Rowling.

Heres one for y’all, the word TRUMP means fart in England 😝

Donald J.ackass Fart

I haven’t been active on Tumblr a lot lately but just quickly wanted to say to everyone HAVE A HAPPY MAR10 DAY!

May I ask for any artist/fanfic writers to go easy on the angst levels today (looking at you @silenzahra @megamagimugi ) why can’t we all just have some tooth rotting fluff and some cuddles?..

Y’all ain’t gonna listen to me are ya?..

Lip smack*

Fanart for @silenzahra 's amazing Dream Team Bros fic https://www.tumblr.com/silenzahra/773382908157313024/my-beloved-dream-team-fic-was-posted-exactly-one?source=share

I couldn't decide which way up is better

I love love love this fic! The perfect amount of angst to earn the warm ending! And you can feel how much the bros love each other and would do anything for each other!

Thinking about how Mario wanted to go back to real world to give real life Luigi a big hug too only to find him frozen!!!! Aaaaaa the fic amazing!!!!!

[pepperycar]

Hey there, my friend! I just wanted to let you know how much I love your stories 😄💖 I know I have yet a few to read and I will as soon as I can, but I can never forget how invested I was in "Cold place, warm hearts" when you started posting it and I'm still so honored I partly inspired it!! 🥹🥹 I think you've grown a lot as a writer and I couldn't be happier that our love for the Mario franchise and our passion to put the brothers in situations (😇) has brought us together! 💖💖

I'm so honored that you gifted me "Failed him?" on AO3 and I really enjoyed reading it recently 🥰 As well as "Sharp teeth with a big heart" which made me laugh and melted my heart at the same time 🥹🥹 The way you write the brothers is so pure, and I love seeing them listening to each other's heartbeat to comfort each other and let them know they're alive and well and right there ❤️💚

Still, if I had to pick just one of your stories as my most favorite, that one has to be "The best power-up". How incredibly sweet and adorable it was!! 🥹🥹 You really have a gift for making me giggle with your stories and making me incredibly emotional the very next second, in most cases even crying 😭💖 Please keep up the good work, my friend!! 👏👏

And of course, I'm so incredibly grateful for your support in my stories, and I hope you know I dearly treasure the beautiful pieces you've made inspired by them!! It's seriously such an honor that my writing can be so inspiring to you 🥹🥹 I'm so blessed!! Thank you so much, and also for being there in my hardest times, dear friend 🫂💖

Whhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!

I leave Tumblr for a few days and come back to this?! A heap of kindness dumped onto me?!?! What did I do to deserve this?!?! 😭🥹😭🥹

You’re gonna make me cry and melt into a puddle! Your stories already do that! 😂

You love my stories?! The hell is wrong with you?! /jk 🤣 and awwww don’t worry, read them at your own pace, or not at all because I can’t write. 😅

You actually liked “Cold place, warm hearts”?! My heart just melted! And of course, you inspire most of my stuff along with your big sisters @vulpixfairy1985 work. And I’m so happy you think my writing gotten better! I hope I can get to a point where I can write as good as you every time! And yes, we must put the brothers through trauma, it’s how they work now, Brothership made it cannon! 🤣

Awwww I’m happy you enjoyed “Failed him”, that’s a huge compliment since chapter 9 is a rewrite of my first ever fic. And I’m glad you enjoyed “sharp teeth with a big heart” and- sorry for making you cry? 😅

The whole “bros listening to and feeling each other’s heartbeats was actually inspired by chapter 9 of Vulpixfairy’s “hurt by fire, heal by fire” and chapter 2 of your ��anything for him” story! These bro’s would die for each other I just- I can’t!!

“The best power-up” is your favourite? Awwwwwwww thank you so much! I’ve been meaning to work on the sequel to that for awhile. Should probably get back to that. 😅 also you laugh and cry at my writing?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

🥹🥹

You see me as a friend?! 😭😭😭😭🥹😭😭😭😭 my heart is a big puddle on the floor!

And of course, your stories already deserve all the praise! They’re Sooooooooooo good! Of course I’d get inspired by them! 🥰🥰

And awww, you’re welcome. I hope I can help you with hard times whenever you need it!

I am truly blessed to know you. I’m gonna go melt into a puddle now. 🤗🫠

@vulpixfairy1985 @silenzahra @bberetd @pixiedustandfairypowers he’s always loved his Big Little bro. 🥰🥰

(Apologies for my atrocious handwriting, here's what it says)

Luigi: *He's staring at me. Why's he staring at me? Something on my face? Maybe he thought I'd be cooler? Is he disappointed? I should do something. What do I do? Um... Uh...

Baby Mario: ✨Big Weegee✨

I sometimes wish, in Partners in Time, Baby Mario paired up with Luigi and baby Luigi paired up with Mario. The brothers ever.

[pepperycar]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

@silenzahra like I said, “Biggest Fear” is my favourite story of yours and this just further proves all of our love for it!

The glowing heart, Luigi gently holding Mario’s hand, the tears, the heartbreaking smile, I-ARGH!!

@vulpixfairy1985 @roscolate @peaches2217 @pixiedustandfairypowers these bros are SO cute! I can’t!!

"you're not going to lose me. not now, not ever."

had to draw up something for this heart-squeezing fic by @silenzahra <3 it tore me apart as much as it warmed my heart. emotionally damaged mario, my beloved

[pepperycar]

@peaches2217 did you right this? 😉

I have a thing for traumatized men who turn out to be okayish father figures.

[pepperycar]

@vulpixfairy1985 @silenzahra @sourour-rl @pixiedustandfairypowers come and witness the angst!

a brief moment of clarity

[pepperycar]

So.. the Christmas fic.

Sorry to anyone who was waiting/interested in the fic, @vulpixfairy1985 @silenzahra @itsavee4117 @peaches2217 @pixiedustandfairypowers @bberetd

I finally sorted all my files on my computer about a week ago and found that the chapter 3 file had been corrupted and I can’t be arsed to rewrite the WHOLE chapter again..

I might upload chapter 1 and 2 as they are, but chapter 2 is missing its ending and I can’t remember what I originally wrote for it.

I don’t know..
