i love starmora so much like their gradual shift across gotg vol. 3 absolutely decimated me lol
like. “you know, i’m still not who you want me to be” “oh, i know. but who you are ain’t so bad.” the way she smiles at him??????? followed by (once she’s stepped past him, a moment of hesitation, this inch of themselves they can let be real offerings without having to be completely bare) “i bet we were fun” and his little “like you wouldn’t believe” i am ruined!!!!!!!!

Mentioned it in this backstory post that I rewrote earlier today, but I can't stop thinking about Grimm visiting the Palace Grounds periodically throughout the years that FPK was gone. Slowly losing hope that he'll ever see him again, but still checking every time he's passing by. He could sense the dream particles, so he knew FPK was somewhere in a dream realm that he couldn't access, which only made the pain worse. Maybe at some points he'd sit by the dead Kingsmould and speak to it as if he was talking to FPK, knowing he could never reach him, but still hoping that maybe FPK would hear him. Maybe he'd just stand there, clutching the music box locket FPK gave him in his hand and listening to the quiet tune that reminded him of their times together
Also, the sweet irony of him seeing the Palace Grounds again after arriving in Dirtmouth for the ritual, mere days before Ghost entered that dream realm and interrupted FPK's hibernation. The fact that they basically missed each other, and that if it wasn't for Hornet asking Grimm for help, he would have left earlier, not realizing that FPK was back. So many little things that eventually brought them together, but change only one of them, and they would've likely never reunited. Who knows how long it would take Grimm to show his face in Hallownest again. If he'd ever come back, that is. Maybe he would finally decide to leave that hope behind and succumb to his grief. And even if he did return, would FPK still even be there? Would hornet find him, or would remain by himself in the wilderness? His forehead wound was in an awful state when she found him, it needed to be properly treated before it could heal. but what if it stayed that way? It would inevitably get infected, and what would happen to him then? I don't think the story would a happy ending in that situation
I dunno I know this is a bit random but I just. I really like thinking about them. What could've been if it wasn't for this specific series of events that allowed them to reunite. And, of course, the angst related to Grimm's reaction to FPK's absence... The tasty, tasty angst...

I am going to bite the next person who comes to me with that "soft Bucciarati" shit.
The man isn't soft. Isn't naive. He's kind.
Kindness is something you have to keep choosing. It's not innate.
He's a person who has seen so much evil that he chooses to fight it by being kind. By being the person he wants to see in the world around him. He. ain't. soft.

Pre-relationship 4-6 for the Mario Bros.! (Or your favorite of those questions if you only want one haha)
Yes!!! More Mario Bros ramble!!! Blessed!! Thankyou!!
4. Who felt romantic feelings first?
Hard to say, sense they've always been like this. There's not a specific moment either of them could go back to and say when they fell in love, they've always loved eachother, you know?
Though Luigi was the first to recognize these feelings as romantic, and different than how he loved, say, their mom and dad, and that that was something important. Mario didn't think it mattered what kind of love they had, their mama had taught them Love is Love, so what does it matter, right?
This happened when they were like 7.
5. Did either of them try to resist their feelings?
Maybe not quiet resist, but Mario did consider it for a while.
Around middle school-ish age, 12 or 13, their mom sat the brothers down to explain the difference between Familial and Romantic love, and why that difference was important, kind of assuming they didn't really know the difference in their emotions yet.
The whole thing made Mario feel awful. He'd made his mother worry, his father angry, and worst of all he, the older brother, put Luigi on the line for his own selfish reasoning.
The only reason he didn't fully withdrawal from Luigi and stew in an early sea of self deprecation was Luigi rubbing it in Mario's face that he was right, that the love he has for Mario and the love he has for the rest of their family is different. He did an "I Told You So" dance and everything. He was right and Mario was wrong ha ha ha ha ha!
So yeah. Mario considered resisting his feelings for all of about 20 minutes before Luigi snapped him out of it, and reminded him why that would simply never work. Not for them.
6. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?
Mario doesn't believe in soulmates, he's a simple guy and not all that romantic in the grand scheme sense. Luigi on the other hand is all about Cosmic Connection and the "Over and Over again, life after life, I will find you, and I fall in love with you again and again" kind of cheesy nonsense. He'd be over the moon about it.

What your favorite Goncharov (1973) ship says about you:
Goncharov/Andrey: You believe in the inherent homoeroticism of unhealthy codependency and mutual self-destruction (also you watched the film and have eyes)
Katya/Sofia: You think Sofia deserved more screen time and also you're gay.
Andrey/Mario: You've been looking at gif sets of every time they lock eyes with eachother for 6 hours now. You are weeping and gnashing your teeth.
Andrey/Ice Pick Joe: You either have very strong opinions about the integrity of the film's messaging and want to preserve Goncharov's death but let the most traumatized characters involved find solace in eachother and heal, OR Ice Pick Joe is your little meow meow.
Goncharov/Mario: You believe in the inherent homoeroticism of planning your boss's murder.
Andrey/Goncharov/Mario: You just wish everyone could get along. Also a 99% chance that you enjoy fluffy modern aus.
Valery/Sofia: At this point these characters are basically your ocs and you're having a great time.
Goncharov/Katya: EITHER you are one of the most interesting people in the fandom and you've written essay-length analysis posts about the enduring complexity of their marriage and how it both pits them against eachother and leaves them as one another's only allies in a harsh and unforgiving world, or you're boring and straight.
Andrey/Katya: You're straight but you stan Andrey.
Mario/Ice Pick Joe: The only thing you care about is fucked up little guys.

Watched Across the Spider-Verse for the 5th time and I will have you know that if you think you will feel more okay the more you watch it… you won’t.
It has not ceased the obsession and I am very much unwell.
Probably even more so.
I live in a constant state of internally screaming because of this movie.
