#and what’s Luigi’s reasoning?

My dad is horrible and he knows it.

He has this saved. TO. HIS. TABLET.

AAAAaaaAaAaaAAaaaah

The utter lack of bowuigi interaction (and really just luigi screentime in general) in the movie is genuinely disappointing because when i saw what a scared little guy luigi was i was fully expecting there to be an arc while hes captured where having to be around bowser and do what he says gradually teaches him to be less scared and stand up for himself all leading up to when he saves mario at the end

Like that ending wouldve been so much more impactful with a just a little more luigi screentime

[fallen-mario-bros-au]

You know maybe bowser could chose in the mountain to hide in unaware of the kingdom within

(TW: BLOOD, GORE, VIOLENCE)

Oh my goodness first of all SORRY for not responding to this! I may or may not have gotten heavily distracted since the announcement of Brothership XD but I should've been keeping an eye on these.

Second, WHAT THAT IS SUCH A COOL IDEA 0_0 My mind immediately flooded through so many different scenarios when I read this, after all, there's so much to cover and so much that could happen! It could get very, very interesting...

Here's kind of a list of things that came to mind:

What would the monsters think of Bowser? Would they see him as another monster like themselves or would he be alien to them? I think either way, they'd be pretty nice to him, probably because he looks so much like a monster.

I highly doubt they're biologically the same though, considering the fact that Bowser's is definitely not made up of hope, love, and compassion, and especially considering that he seems to be a lot stronger than your average human, where as monsters are much weaker physically than humans. Perhaps Koopas are their own unique race with their own unique souls.

I do think that Bowser would be a boss monster equivalent though. A Boss Koopa? It would be interesting sizing him up next to Asgore.

One other important thing is, how would Bowser treat the citizens of the Underground? Because I don't think he'd be all that friendly. I mean, this is Bowser we're talking about. He lives off of conquest and war pretty much, so ain't no way he'd walk around peacefully. In fact, I bet he could do a lot of damage to the underground just by stomping through it and breathing fire everywhere. Kind of like a more reasonably sized Godzilla.

Just look at what he did to these poor guys in the movie, for example:

Now imagine that's Snowdin.

Yeah. Pretty bad.

It also probably wouldn't take long for him to find out that the Mario Brothers are here. Mario and Luigi might make mention of Bowser to others as they explain their situation, but I don't think most people would immediately recognize him as Mario and Luigi's enemy. It wouldn't be hard to get info out of them that there are two humans down here and they are clad in red and green.

The Underground also isn't really that big, so the idea of Bowser knowing they're here is absolutely freaking terrifying. I mean, not like there are that many places to hide, although I could think of a few areas where they could keep themselves hidden. (Like Temmie village for example)

One other thing I was thinking about was what would get Bowser to hide in Mt. Ebott? ... And the first thing that came to mind, ironically, was Princess Peach.

After the Mario Brothers disappeared, she and the Toads would pretty much have to defend themselves.

And I honestly think that she could take that challenge. Nintendo is definitely starting to get away from the whole perpetual damsel in distress thing, and we've seen many times that Peach can hold her own pretty well.

So, hear me out. What if, after the Mario Brothers go missing in action, Peach thinks that Bowser has them either captured or killed?

Knowing the two heroes were gone, perhaps for good, I could see her pulling out all the stops, maybe even chasing Bowser away from his army, leading both to the mysterious Mt. Ebott, where Bowser is sure he can get to high ground and have an advantage against her.

Would that mean Peach could potentially fall into the underground? I mean... Well... Now I have to draw her in a cute sweater too haha. (Gotta love how everyone just happens to wear cute sweaters on the day they get banished to the shadow realm and it's not even like that would canonically happen I just think it would be funny)

This definitely isn't the only situation that could lead to Bowser falling in the Underground, but I mean, I think it's cool. What are y'all's thoughts though? Do you think it would make sense? I would love to hear if anybody has a better idea about what could happen.

Anyways that's kinda where my brain went thinking about all this. Sorry if the ideas are super muddled. You pretty much just opened a new world for me haha XD

Anyways, I could see a lot of stuff happening if Bowser gets involved and I absolutely love it. >:) So many angst opportunities, so many ways to tear everything and everyone apart....

Hehehehehe.....

Hahahahaha....

Hahahahahahahaha!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[kstarlitchaotics]

I find myself enjoying more of Luigi x Daisy than I do with Mario x Peach and I guess I always enjoyed underrated couples more so cause they get their moments with the fandom but nothing too overly played like the popular one and Mario x Peach falls into that category

[thegodofnightmares]

decided to draw the crack ship i was talking about

[irresia]

IM SORRY?*?"!?*!@!#!?$!*

[mrs-luigi-vargas]

i'm sure this has already been talked about before, but one bowuigi thing that i was thinking about the other morning was the idea of Luigi moving into Bowser's Castle, and then finding himself missing Mario a lot as the weeks went by (because it'd just been the two of them sharing one tiny house for the longest, and they're a bit codependent, tbh)

So what does Bowser do about his bf moping around in the halls about not having seen his brother for a while? Kidnap Princess Peach, of course! Because, as you know, Mario always comes to save her, so once he's taken her back to the castle all they have to do is wait. And as a bonus, Luigi gets to hang out with Peach, too!

Luigi appreciates the gesture, but also: did he really have to mobilize the entire army for this? It would have been far easier to like. Send a letter containing a vaguely polite request. Or a messenger. Or wait till the next Party/sports tournament/kart racing event, even???

It's not like Luigi was doing anything about his homesickness, Bowser retorts, with how he was too busy worrying about inconveniencing his friends with his feelings to take any steps to remedy them. And besides, what else was he supposed to use all these new airships for? A taxi service?

(and anyway, Bowser is 300% willing to mobilize his army a thousand times over if doing so led to a chance for Luigi to be happy. But maaaybe he'll keep that sentiment to himself for now. Save it for when he could fully appreciate Luigi blushing hard enough to rival the carpet's crimson tones.)

[snowyfrostshadows]

I seriously feel so bad for Luigi though

Like, most isekai stories have the main character start off in a fairly easy spot, get used to the world in a mostly safe and relaxed location like Mario so clearly has.

But Luigi?

Poor man got thrown in what looks like the Darklands (which, from his perspective probably looks like he fell into a horror game or straight up Hell)

God.

I hope they're sorta separated for awhile. I hope Luigi accidentally joins the bad guys solely because the Star(s) grant a wish or something and he just wants to go home to Brooklyn and as consequence is told a very slanted side of what's really going on to help collect said stars only to run into Mario and realize 'oh. wait. we've been played' and be torn between helping his brother stop Bowser or just. Full on take the stars himself to get him and his brother Out of this Fantasy/Horror World

[give-me-one-good-reason]

I pretty much never draw Luigi with his hat, and this is not due to design preferences but my complete inability to draw hats with brims. Baseball caps and flatcaps (the Mario Bros.' hats seem to be a middle ground) are the bane of my existence.

🤍 for Mariocest

The Mario bros..... married.....

🤍 - Kiss at the wedding

In which Mario dreams of a future he never thought he'd have

Mario collapsed onto is back in the grass of the castle court yard, knocking the wind out of himself in the motion. Married, he thought. Marriage. The big show of devotion.

He'd put the concept far out of his mind before he really even understood it. He was never going to be the kind of guy to be legally married, because the only one he could fathom to ever love that much was his brother.

But now here he lay, in a Kingdom Far Far away from the rugged, probably valid, laws of Brooklyn, New York State, USA.

Every day Mario was reminded just how different the Mushroom Kingdom, and the entire world it existed within, was from his home. How they perceived Familial Relations wasn't as black and white, related or not, as it was back on Earth.

The way Peach had explained it, everyone is related in the Mushroom Kingdom, in the biological sense, in an unseen connection way. Families, parents and children and siblings, still existed but they were always more of a choice one makes than people one could be stuck with through blood ties. A choice that could be edited, reversed, altered as the relationship changed.

It was all a little too big of a concept for Mario, and the Princess tends to Grandify her explanations, but what it boiled down to was so very simple.

Here, in the Mushroom Kingdom, brothers, sisters, cousins and whoever else, are free to marry. Legal, true marriages.

Mario felt his heart rate pick up speed as it sunk in even further. Marriage. A real wedding with guests happy for them. With food and flowers and gifts and suits and- Mama mia rings.

He could propose. By Stars he could propose, a real proposal, and have it mean something. A real question with a real answer and a ceremony with vows and a big party.

Mario's hands clenched around his overall straps as he kicked his legs into the air a bit, his heart pounding in his chest as he squirmed out his excitement. He needed to calm down.

With a deep breath Mario focused on the clouds floating lazily overhead. White and fluffy and calm, oh so calm. Drifting slowly through the sky.

Mario closed his eyes, his heart rate slowing, the burning in his cheeks dimming. A cloud blocked the sun over head, cooling him down.

He wondered what Luigi would want to wear to their wedding. Mario always believed himself a Tuxedo guy. He'd wear the occasional dress, but it really wasn't his style. Luigi on the other hand...

Oh.. Luigi in a wedding dress...

Mario could see him now. Long and frilly with puffy sleeves and short gloves, standing with a thin veil and a bouquet of those beautiful rocket flowers at the end of an aisle lined with pews full of people who are so, so happy for them.

He walks down the aisle, and Mario stands tall on the staged in his white tux, and he is mesmerized by his brother's beauty, and no one else in the room seems to matter any longer.

They say their vows, they exchange rings. Mario is holding Luigi's hands so tenderly in his own, and he is crying. They're both crying, and this is really happening, and neither of them can look away or think of anything other than how happy they are to be there. Together.

"You may now kiss the bride"

Yeah.. Luigi would like the sound of bride.... Wife...

The cloud overhead moved along with the light breeze, allowing the warm sun to shine down onto Mario as he napped in Peach's court yard.

It wasn't an uncommon sight, to see the Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom asleep in the grass on warm days, so no one dared bother him.

Besides. He looked like he was having a nice dream.

You know, considering that new untitled Peach game is a bit like Luigi’s Mansion with how it puts a Mario character in a new environment with new game mechanics, I’m kinda hoping Peach gets her own original villain the same way Luigi was given King Boo.

Hell, with Super Mario RPG coming back, which has many original characters, and with the characters from the Peach teaser being something other than Toads, it seems Nintendo might be willing to dip their toes into original characters again. So what’s better to start making new characters than by giving Peach her own bad guy ! Also the new Mario Bros game has some new characters as well from the looks of it, so again, it’s possible !

And don’t get me wrong, Bowser is absolutely iconic and I do enjoy the irony of Peach battling against him. But with this game not being a platformer, and again taking into consideration Luigi’s Mansion, it would be a fun change of pace for Peach to have a new villain in her own series (god I hope this game becomes a series of several games!!!). Plus, it seems Peach will be more and more playable in mainline games, meaning more Bowser beat-up from her anyways.

And yes, part of me wants that new villain to be a female character as it's been forever since Mario games has had one and I am very much aware of how people would go crazy over it for the shipping.

(Also going back to Bowser, it’s more of a “me” thing but I always found it slightly weird to see Bowser attack Peach, since he’s supposed to be in love with her (Paper Mario games prove it well) and in all the games she gets captured, there are no indications he ever raises a hand on her. Hell in Odyssey he’s very gentle when putting Tiara on Peach’s head. Also Peach is never particularly afraid of him despite how horrible he can be, which implies he doesn’t physically hurt her.

Fun fact : this is why I headcanon Super Princess Peach as taking place very soon after Super Paper Mario, since the two of them would have just spent weeks working together and getting along. So it would work for Bowser to lose his shit upon getting rejected yet again “despite doing everything right” and thus be willing to fight her. As for 3d World, there’s three other people Bowser can focus on to avoid hurting her)

low quality scribbles of skeletons

image 1: just some papyrus doodles, mostly for practice, also just to actually draw something (SPOILER(??????) WARNING FOR NEUTRAL ROUTE ENDING) image 2: was playing minecraft with a sans skin and several different effects applied. started to wonder what would happen if sans himself had raw sonic speed or night vision and this happened (thx to one of my cool friends for this idea) image 3: just a doodle of papyrus as luigi (based on luigi's mansion 3) (color scheme's a little wack but eh)

image 4: sketch from something else i'm making, it'll be posted on my art blog in due time lol

(NOTE: for future reference! any fully rendered art will be posted on @metaphorthejesterdraws, doodles and art trashposts will live here.)

Little Mario Movie headcanon: Toadtown use to look more like the Toadtowns of Mario and Luigi and Paper Mario, just with a lot more stairs because Mountain.

Peach, who had just recently learned the power of moving platforms and floating blocks with her Mario Maker Obstacle Course, revamped the town when she was like 14 to include these and pipes so all the stubby legged Toads wouldn’t have to climb so many stairs to get everywhere.

The L-Factor

During an adventure involving Marcy's latest attempt to make Bob rejoin their clan, Luigi gets separated from the group by the machinations of Mr. L, who uses a specially designed Lag Switch to put him out-of-phase with the rest of the Universe and take his place using a disguise. Now Luigi has to figure out how to warn the others of the imposter and get himself back to normal, but how can he do that when he can't be seen, heard, or affect anything around himself?
