💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

It always bugs me in fanfics when Luigi is depicted as easily captured whenever he's on his own, especially if it's been established that he's been living in the mushroom kingdom for a long time at that point.

Yes, Luigi prefers to save fighting as a last resort, particularly if his brother isn't around, but he's also a very slippery little guy who is intensely hard to pin down! Not nearly enough people focus on that aspect of him.

Next in my Ace Attorney x Kamen Rider AU:

Daryan Crescend as Kamen Rider Shark!

I got some design inspiration from Revice's Vice, as seen in the 'jaw' and 'tail' part. I also reworked the 'demon' ears into being the 2 front flippers sharks have.

I also cemented him having the same Driver as Ema's, being the Cometriser—since both are on the force; I just added the shark tooth from his hoodie to set it apart a bit.

previous Riders I've drawn below cut:

Apollo, Klavier, and Ema:

This is not really an ask, but regarding that anon fishing for easy bait for some odd reason, Mario being a bit short tempered is an interesting flaw for his character to have, but ofc we gotta have someone bring the "he's a terrible brother" AGAIN because he has to tip toe with literally any and everything he says or does around Luigi. If not, he's "abusive" or a "bad brother". Mario can just breathe wrong and they'll still say he's terrible to Luigi, yet ignore like 99% of content that shows that Mario is an amazing brother. The whole Tennis bs too just seems like he's more overcompetitive to me, not a terrible brother. It's sibling rivalry shenanigans that they both participate in. Bro can't catch a break 😭

It's probably because Mario's the cheerful face of a major franchise. Those sorts of characters are almost always targets for grimdark "theories." The idea that a beloved pop culture hero is actually "not what they seem" is appealing in a very juvenile, surface-level way. I, too, am a sucker for Mario being a tad bit grumpy. Yelling at Luigi for breaking a mug might have been a bit much, but it is nice seeing him make mistakes and lose his temper at times.

You pointed it out in the original post, but Mario's not the only one who had little asshat moments in those books:

Look at his face :( don't laugh at him, he's doing his best!! And this wouldn't be the only time Luigi is a bit of a jerk regarding his sibling...

But you don't see anyone making youtube essays about how Luigi is a bad person and that Mario deserves a better brother.

Sometimes it's nice to just let these characters be characters, y'know? Let Luigi have little moments of insecurity that result in actual negative behaviors rather than just being a "shy uwu sweet bean who can do no wrong." Let Mario have bursts of anger that he regrets and needs to apologize for. It's interesting, so long as at the end of the day they stay true to that overall healthy sibling relationship.
