Ya like Luigi's Mansion? NAME EVERY LUIGI!!

So this was a small postcard print I drew about Madame Clairvoya, and I also designed a whole set of Mario's Lost Items stickers that fit in her crystal ball!

[green199213]

madame clairvoya when she was alive. maybe. found footage?

the textures in luigi's mansion showing photographs of the portrait ghosts when they were alive have always fascinated me. i'd like to draw more of that type of thing in the future.

Pondering the Orb I've been in a huge Luigi's Mansion mood, so here's my first ever drawing of Madame Clairvoya! Luigi's Mansion is property of Nintendo, the art is mine (please don't use my work without my permission- thanks!)

Well, hello again. You all remember this one?

This statement... It's officially powerless, if I might say so. Why? I tried something different. I'll show you.

You can see runes in the background. Since her heart quote is "Destiny chooses our paths", I decided to chose the runes meaning "Destiny" and "Journey".

The rune to the left is called "Perthro" and it represents the future. It can also represent hidden meanings, secrets and change. Reversed it can indicate loss of faith. Some of it's keywords are: Fate, mysteries, chance, fortune and unknown.

The rune to the right is called "Raidho". It represents a wheel/is indicative of a journey. I may quote "www.twowander.com".... "This could be both physical travel, as in a holiday or house move, or a spiritual voyage in the expansion of your horizons". Some keywords are: Progress, Movement, journey and travel.

If you were to choose, who is your favorite ghost from all lm franchise?

oh boy this one is tough! I hate picking just one. I have only personally played Luigi's Mansion 3 so I don't know much about the 1st two unfortunately.

i think it would be Dr.Potter, Madame Clairvoya or DJ Phantasmagloria.

Dr.Potter has a really nice area to play in with all the leaves and grass filling the place up. and his design, although basic, really gets the vibe of a science teacher (he reminds me of my old science teacher as well so I'm a bit biased). he also has a cool plant as well :)

Madame Clairvoya is the first nice ghost to Luigi I think so bonus points for that. her design is beautiful to me and her mechanic in the game is a really nice change of pace.

Finally, DJ Phantasmagoria. who doesn't love her? the music is great and the area is really funky and her fight is fun!

i could 100% go into more detail about these three but i dont want to make this post too long just yet. i hope this answer you question!

In the latest episode of Luigi's Mansion I walk a thousand miles.

Bowuigi fans, we don't tall enough about the angsty possibilities of this ship within the context of Luigi's Mansion, especially the first one.

It's strongly implied throughout the game that Bowser died in his last battle against Mario, with his "return" spelling bad news.

Now it could just be bad news because Bowser is the bad guy and yada yada...

But here's an idea : imagine that Luigi was either pining for Bowser, or better yet, that they were in a relationship, which had to remain secret for obvious reasons.

Except Mario didn't know that, and at some point confronted Bowser, and...it didn't go well. I don't picture Mario as the kind of person who willingly kills, so it could have been a pure accident, a stroke of horrifying good luck during a battle. But all that matters now is that Bowser is gone.

And Luigi couldn't even mourn him properly, as in everyone's eyes Bowser was a horrible monster whose death was a blessing.

Then in this manor, already a dreadful place with Mario trapped in the middle of these ghosts, Luigi gets told about Bowser being back, revived by King Boo??

Madame Clairvoya could either be ignorant of Luigi's grief, and maybe that's what Luigi thinks as well...but what if she knew people "revived" by King Boo aren't really back, only horrible puppets or undead monsters. And she knows Luigi is the only one who would be happy about Bowser's return. She tries to warn him, but he doesn't listen, hope rising in his heart despite himself. Sure, Bowser won't be a big help for Mario's sake, but the most important is that he's alive again! Oh, Luigi can't wait to find him !! He missed him so much!

And then.

He gets his wish fulfilled in the most horrible way.

Luigi finding himself facing what should be his lover, but is roaring and behaving exactly like an enemy, attacking him even. Has Bowser gone mad ? Does he think Luigi had a part in his death ? Or...what if all this time Luigi had been wrong. Fooled into believing Bowser was every bit the monster everyone saw. He refuses to believe it but he has to run and defend himself as Bowser mocks and attacks him...

...and then Bowser's head falls.

It wasn't Bowser. Just a corpse puppeteered by King Boo.

Luigi fights. Luigi wins. Luigi saves Mario.

And when he can finally relieve the stress of the night by laughing and crying all at once...

...the tears aren't just for Mario.

The Luigi's Mansion series makes the most "established" Mario timeline to date. In its first chapter we find out trought the ghost medium Madame Clairvoya, that Bowser is dead, and the fact is supported further by the villain's absence in the sequels. Also that same spirit is terrified of the Koopa King. In conclusion: this is a universe where Bowser was a real threat but Mario terminated him.

Is it possible that Madame Clairvoya from Luigi’s Mansion is actually a Shaman from Super Mario RPG?

I’m sure many of you are familiar with the Shamans from Super Mario RPG, which went on to play a major role in Paper Mario, Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario. These odd folk are are depicted as magicians and fortune tellers. Many use Crystal Balls to predict the future and guide Mario on his adventures, usually by reading the Stars.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, we received some elaboration on who these Shamans are:

About Merlon on the east side of Rogueport and Merluvlee underground... Ol' Wonky hears they're from a strange tribe that names people by profession. So, for example, if someone did the same work as Merlon, they'd have the same name... So there could be Merlons all over. Don't you find that strange? Wonky does!

[Source: Wonky, Info guy, Non-player character in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, October 2004]

Meanwhile in Super Paper Mario, Shamans became the focus of the game, where they are revealed to be the descendants of the Tribe of Ancients, a people who had magic powerful enough to predict the distant future and transfer spirits of the dead into “Thinking Tools” called Pixls.

So yeah, ever heard of an advanced civilization called the Tribe of Ancients? They were, like, a thousand times smarter than you or me.

So yeah, you meet Merlon and Merlee yet? They're descendants of the Ancients and distantly related to each other, I hear.

[Source: Garson, Owner of The Underwhere, Non-player character in Super Paper Mario, April 2007]

So do you know how the Pixls came to be? A powerful magician among the Ancients created them about 3,000 years ago. He did it by transferring a spirit into a vessel he created for that purpose. He's said to have created 12 Pixls like this before he passed away. But his apprentices kept researching Pixls after his game ended... They learned to create many more Pixls based on his original 12. These Pixls became widely used as 'thinking tools' for the grateful Ancients. Through the work of many Pixls, the Ancients prospered as they never had before.

In Luigi’s Mansion, Madame Clairvoya is a fortune teller who uses a Crystal Ball to read Mario’s items and guide Luigi. Her senses from reading the Crystal Ball are incredibly similar to those of the Shamans, with both seeing locations and people from the present or near future within their Crystal Balls and interpreting what they see into advice for the heroes. It’s also stated that Madame Clairvoya can see nearly 49 days into the future thanks to her close connection to the spirit world.

Madame Clairvoya actually wears similar clothing to many Shamans, particularly Shaman women, such as long robes, a headscarf and a veil covering her mouth. While the Shamans have largely been covered by shadows throughout their appearances thanks to their outfits, they are described as humans several times in Super Paper Mario, which aligns with Madame Clairvoya’s clearly human appearance.

Madame Merlar from Paper Mario and Merlumina from Super Paper Mario both return as ghosts long after their deaths and continue to serve as helpful guides, as is the case with Madame Clairvoya.

Madame Clairvoya also describes the Crystal Ball she uses as a "symbol of [her] clan”. This clan could very well be the Tribe of Ancients, whose descendants are shown to consistently use Crystal Balls to perform their work.

Finally - and this is what really got me to consider this possibility in the first place - the Japanese name of every member of the Tribe of Ancients and their descendants follows the same naming conventions, with all of their names being a play-on-words with the addition of the endings "ēru", "āru" or simply "ru", originating from the Japanese name of the Shaman species in Super Mario RPG, "Supēru". This also applies to Madame Clairvoya, whose Japanese name is “Madamu Miēru”.

What do you guys think? Could Madame Clairvoya actually be a descendant of the Ancients? If so, this is certainly a very interesting connection from Luigi’s Mansion back to Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario, though it wouldn’t be the first!

[jelixpo]

Fun fact. When Luigi’s Mansion first came out there was a conspiracy theory that King Boo was actually Bowser’s ghost. This was based off mainly two things. The final boss fight and what Madam Clairvoya says when you give her Mario’s final dropped item. Clearly that didn’t become canon, but it was a really fun theory back then.

That's an interesting theory! If that were true it would make King Boo's crown all the more comical. Even in death, Bowser is dripped the fuck out

I think my favourite theory from LM1 was that Bowser was actually dead and King Boo possessed his body to use in battle

The Number One, Hottest Ghost:

✨🎬Morty🎬✨!

Was this to be expected? I think its merely destiny… a ghost so attractive even Luigi thinks highly of him. AND LETS GET TO WHY!

Looks: I based his beauty standards on the 1920s, considering his film with Luigi DOES include sound, despite sound in film being established after color in film was, so the black and white footage was most likely for aesthetic or time for Morty. Morty get points deducted for his… to put it nicely, abnormally large head. Otherwise his cap and sweater does follow the fashion during this time period (Source: Here’s What The Ideal Beauty Standards For Men And Women In The 1920s Looked Like by Noelle Talmon) along with his lean body (Source: How the ‘Ideal’ Male Body Has Changed Throughout History by Abbas Kanani MRPharmS, yes the last name is capitalized correctly)

Personality: A perfect personality primarily due to the fact that he leaves an apparent positive effect on Luigi. Of course Morty is already entertaining with his over dramatic and theatrical nature for the player, yet truly throws the player’s expectations out the window when he talks to Luigi and calls him handsome. Practically the last ghost in the entire Luigi’s Mansion series that acts positively toward Luigi was Madame Clairvoya, so its truly exciting (and mildly amusing to see Luigi thrown off guard as well by this) to see this interaction. There’s also other details that stand out that cause my appreciation for Morty to grow tenfold, such as the triumphant atmosphere there is on the floor once Morty finishes shooting the Godzilla-esque film with Luigi (I mean… Luigi is surprised at Morty’s positive reaction after the boss battle, its an adorable interaction.) There’s also the fact that if Luigi stuns Morty and fail to vacuum him as he’s busy developing the film, Morty will simply return to working on the film, implying that in the long run he doesn’t hold small actions against others, unlike a certain Chef cough cough. The absolutely MOST important detail about Morty is more so the result of his actions and why I claim he has such a positive effect… once Morty gives Luigi the button, Luigi says “Imma Star!” Let me remind everyone… Luigi often gets made fun of in practically every game he’s in, some more subtle than others… so to see someone, let alone someone who was meant to be an enemy, have such a positive effect that it makes Luigi feel positively about himself… well if that isn’t the most attractive thing ever, I don’t know what is.

Survival Rate: Very high, and while you may argue the whole Ghostzilla was a threat, that was Morty’s actor and not himself. The Survival Rate measures how a ghost by themselves can harm, and considering Morty’s lack of self defense if Luigi vacuums him up, its safe to say that Morty is not much of a threat by himself.

Niceness Rate: Very high, considering him being actively positive toward Luigi, and not having a negative effect on Luigi if he is being gloomy and melodramatic.

Overall, Morty’s reputation and often romantic portrayals with other ghosts and Luigi in the fandom is easy to follow along with. I should have expected Morty’s high placement due to a majority of points being caused by Personality, but it is still pleasantly surprising for me! Unlike Morty’s filming vocation, he’ll live in the moment and enjoy every minute he gets to spend with you!
