my plan for my gender is whatever the fuck brian molko was doing in the 90s combined with whatever the fuck brian molko is doing now

[chloecherrysip]

it has been days and i haven't seen ANYONE mention this so fine, FINE, i will be the one to do it

"We'll see how tough this Mario is when he watches me KILL HIS BROTHER!"

THIS LINE ALL BY ITSELF FELT VERY SCARY AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WAS NEVER A MOMENT WHERE BOWSER COULD ACTUALLY TRY TO MAKE GOOD ON THIS THREAT, THAT'D BE TOO INTENSE FOR THE TONE THEY WERE GOING FOR, BUT...

WHAT IF...

(look, all i'm saying is the angst gremlin inside of me came ALIVE for a hot second and started imagining scenes playing out in different ways where Bowser DOES have this opportunity with both brothers together before the final battle and it is extremely heartwrenching stuff, OKAY)

I was originally gonna end this post here but welp, now I brainstormed a whole alternative scene under the cut

Imagine this: we're on the Rainbow Road. The blue shell hits! DK does still fall into the ocean (maybe yelling "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAUUUUULT" at Mario as he goes down) but Mario is thrown back by the explosion onto the side of Rainbow Road with Cranky Kong and the other Kongs (he is definitely injured, though) and lands there as they freak out about DK. Peach and Toad are still safely on the other side.

Mario is thus captured with all the other Kongs and taken to Bowser's airship (Peach and Mario call out to each other worriedly but there's nothing she can do and the flying Koopas are coming after her too so Mario yells for her to run and her and Toad have to flee, waaah)

(This would also let Bowser and Mario actually get to meet before the end, which I think would have been nice! Not absolutely necessary, I think the movie works fine without it, but it would have really driven home the threat/stakes a little harder and created a stronger Darkest Moment, I think)

Bowser, seeing that Mario is captured, is just FILLED with hateful glee and wants to break this little man down so badly after he DARED to get close to HIS princess, and he asks Kamek to bring out Luigi from the prison

Mario, now in the airship and restrained, gets to actually SEE Bowser and register how big/menacing he is and they have some banter where Bowser is FURIOUS and Mario is honestly just kind of confused, like, "dude, what is your problem with me??? I just came to this world two days ago???" (He's scared, of course, he's never seen anyone quite like Bowser before, but he also knows his type right away - he's a bully, and Mario's dealt with his fair share of bullies, that's for sure)

But then of course the conversation comes around to "WHERE IS MY BROTHER, LET MY BROTHER GO" and then Luigi is brought in, hands bound, and the brothers can't help but have big, teary smiles and call out happily for each other

But that happiness ends QUICKLY because Bowser advances on Luigi and Mario realizes all at once what's going to happen and he tries to run at him but Kamek drags him back with the magic

And like...I am not one for anything TOO excessive here, I wouldn't want it to be TOO far outside what a movie like this would include, but Bowser does start to hurt Luigi - picking him up and throwing him down, kicking him, scratching him up, and Mario is just in AGONY and desperately struggling to pull free from the magic and begging Bowser to stop, please, if he's mad at someone, hurt HIM, beat HIM up, whatever he wants, but please, don't take it out on his brother, PLEASE, he'll do ANYTHING

But of course, that just makes Bowser taunt Mario more, because he CAN'T do anything. He wants to see Mario broken down and a pathetic mess and begging HIM, the great Koopa King, for mercy because the princess would never be attracted to someone like THAT, how could she, how shameful! Bowser will be sure to tell her ALL about it when he proposes, he is delighted

(oh man, Bowser could even say something like that "whatever happens to him is YOUR fault, you brought your dear brother down with you when you dared to meddle in my fairytale wedding!!!" And it's a ~*~THEMATIC CALLBACK~*~ to Mario's dad, waaaah)

And finally, it looks like Bowser is going to strike a BIG blow but Kamek gets distracted or Mario just becomes desperate enough to pull free of the magic's influence with the power of BROTHERLY LOVE and he gets a punch in on Bowser that knocks him back!!!

And then Mario is helping Luigi up, holding his bruised face sweetly and reassuring him that it's gonna be okay, they're gonna get out of here and go home, and they try to run but they get dragged apart by guards/Kamek/etc again

Bowser is EXTREMELY MAD but manages to calm down and says that he actually appreciates Mario interrupting him with his pathetic little punch because he almost acted too rashly. After all, if he kills Luigi now, he'll be one prisoner short for his ritualistic sacrifice for him and Peach's wedding! Can't have that! Too bad Mario's gonna miss it! And then he grabs Mario and carries him out while Luigi is being carried/dragged back to prison and they're both horrified and crying out each other's names desperately as they're separated AGAIN

Mario gets thrown off the airship by Bowser into the ocean and left for dead (Mario probably gets one more defiant line where he swears he's gonna stop Bowser and Bowser tells Mario that'll never happen but not to worry, him and Peach are going to be very happy together and Mario and his brother will be reunited soon enough - in DEATH [evil laughter])

And then Mario gets swallowed by the eel and DK is already there and things start to play out the same way as the movie from there EXCEPT that when him and DK snipe at each other, Mario starts to break down a little and the line "Well, at least your brother's not gonna die because of you!" has a LOT more emotional weight to it and it's just a longer, more heartwrenching Darkest Moment scene in general, sob)

(and you could also have a scene with Luigi back in prison where he is obviously extremely shaken up and hurt and not knowing what happened to Mario, what did Bowser do with him, is his brother even still ALIVE, why was he so WEAK and unable to do anything, unable to even protect himself or help Mario, etc etc and that helps him have a character beat that maybeeeee makes his surprise rescue of Mario at the end feel more earned????? HMM)

I'M SORRY, I LOVE ANGST (that eventually ends happily) AND IT COMPELS ME

If you're wondering why I'm especially not posting recently it's bc I'm doing my final uni year and major project. Check my designs for it so far, a trans doll club kid, a disabled groaning creature and a queen/king butch.

Are the Zelda’s in your au crypdids of some kind, as well as what the links think of their Zelda and stuff like that, we’ve already seen flora and sun that I can remember of th too if my head, as we

Okay okay this is a bit of a complicated question. The Zeldas are, for the most part, normal Hylians. No funny business.

… except… they all have the blood of the Goddess.

I’ve put a lot of thought into this! How God powers manifest themselves in people. I have a lot written on that so stay tuned for another big lore dump! But just know that powers can be inherited, but in every circumstance they have to be awakened. And that as the bloodline goes on and the God’s influence is lost, the descendants are less and less powerful.

So! Sun. The original Hylia. Is the most powerful Zelda. Then there’s Dot, then Lullaby, and so on and so forth. All the way until Flora- who TECHNICALLY doesn’t even have the blood of the Goddess at all but that’s a whole other issue that will take pages and pages of lore to explain (be on the lookout for that too haha!). Their powers aren’t all awakened (Tetra comes to mind) and even if they are, they’re not very strong depending on their placement in the timeline.

I know that I’m not explaining this well. Just know that every Zelda is Hylian (except for Flora and Sun, but they were both born Hylian). And that I’ll make more in depth lore posts later, when I’m not so scatterbrained!

N needs to go batshit insane(MURDER DRONES EP 6 SPOILERS!!)

Okay so I know the title is weird af, but here me out here N has gotten fucked over so much. Like it's depressing, he's had his head chopped off, been lied to, lost his childhood best friend/love (V) TWICE. TWICE. The manor she was clearly first to go, and now she just sacrificed herself for them. Not to mention, his best friend and definitely love is probably gonna be dead soon. Uzi doesn't have time, she's fighting and in so much pain and N might be forced to kill her because of Tessa. Not to mention that Tessa is clearly not telling the full truth, and hell might not even be Tessa. He's lost his childhood best friend and is about to literally lose his love/best friend again. He even might be the one to kill Uzi. He's been robbed of his childhood and tossed around like crazy, Tessa is lying to him and he's terrified. And we've seen N fight (episode 1) when he's going after something, he doesn't let it escape.

Uzi and Khan were the only ones during his massacre to survive, only because Uzi pointed out obvious and was friendly, and Khan because he left Uzi for dead and ran. He killed everyone and even went up against V, V of all people who we know is an amazing fighter. (SHE CAUGHT A FUCKING BULLET) Now I want N to literally be able to take out that anger, he's been lied to, killed multiple times, robbed of his memories and childhood, might lose two of his best friends in a row and currently I'm thinking he's gunning for Doll, why? She released the Sentinals, she's the reason V is "dead" (which I ngl, doubt) and Uzi lost her arm and is in so much pain fighting for her body. I just hope he has a happy ending.

thanks to my platonic wife @sga-owns-my-soul for telling me that I'm right and I should say it louder.

seriously like 80% of the problems in multiple galaxies are the Ancients' fault. they put humans on the iratus bug planet and made the wraith. they put humans on the goa'uld planet and made the goa'uld. they fucked up raising the replicators and made them vengeful and aggressive. they didn't take care of the handful of zealots now we're dealing with the ori. I didn't get through sgu but they probably caused problems in that galaxy. fuck the Ancients the only good things they did was the stargate system and building Atlantis

and we took over those. those are ours now. and we're using those tools better than the Ancients ever did.
