You know what would be cool? If Wart came back and he's the new antagonist of the Yoshi series :o

Kimi no Tonari — by Butterfly Cafe (Mamu)… is a freakin’ Masterpiece.

This is my NaruHina book report that NOBODY asked for. But... I can't help myself. Link to BOOK. I just can’t keep quiet about this one!!

Summary:

The story takes place almost a decade after the fourth shinobi war where Naruto is in his late twenties and bemoaning single life. Naruto started to hang out around Team 8 several years before the start of the story… just coincidentally mingling with peers who are still single, and finds himself particularly drawn toward Hinata’s company. Except—This is an AU where Naruto flat-out dumps Hinata after the Pein-attack, and Hinata is haunted by his blunt words of rejection. To complicate matters, Naruto doesn’t remember ever rejecting her and is confused and frustrated whenever Hinata LOUDLY and REPEATEDLY friend-zones him.

Why I think this is a masterpiece:

A super simple premise that's executed perfectly. Best Friends to Lovers Trope (Idiots to lovers, more like). Mutual Pining.

Witty, snappy, and FUN dialogue. So many laugh-out-loud moments.

Artful use of flash-forwards gives the reader a peek into an upcoming scene that sets the tone for the chapter.

A slow-burn romance with WONDERFUL pacing!!!!

A really good fight!!!!! A well-earned, and well-overdue couples-fight!!! Naruto and Hinata spend way too much time together, so the big fight they have that changes their relationship in the middle of this story is EPIC. BRUTAL. INSANE. They both call each other out and say things that cut DEEP. And more importantly, the way they make up and talk things out felt really realistic. There are holes in their arguments, and they brush things under the rug a bit, highlighting how hard it is for friends to become lovers. It also sets them up for their last and final misunderstanding that ultimately leads to them finally talking things out and confessing toward each other. It makes their final scenes together so satisfying.

Hilarious OC characters that test the couple’s patience/relationship. (Hinata's goofy admirer? Naruto's bothersome fangirls? The flamboyant shopkeeper that sells sexy dresses? They're a riot! I loved them!!)

CHARACTER GROWTH!!! Rewarding character growth!!

TEAM 8 being FED UP with both Naruto and Hinata. Kiba was the real MVP of this story. Honestly, HE should be Hokage. HUMPH!!!

Throughout the story, Naruto keeps saying 'My place is by your side' to Hinata (Title of this book). In the beginning, it sounds platonic... especially since he says it to highlight what great friends they are. But the more Naruto says it, the more impactful and romantic it gets as their relationship changes over the course of the story.

The ending is beautiful. I know it must be really hard to end a slow-burn love story, but this one just sticks the landing.

Mamu's known for her other slow-burn BFFs-to-Lovers fic you can read on her Pixiv account for free, but this one is like... a more refined version of that story. The ending especially is what makes this fic shine~!!

Here’s Mamu’s PIXIV-available story that is similar to ‘Kimi no Tonari’… but it’s set right after Naruto get’s his prosthetic arm, so blank-period NaruHina. Bff to lovers.

I've been thinking about Link's Awakening lately, specifically about a particular cameo in the game.

That would be Wart, known here by his original Japanese name "Mamu".

Since Mamu is a character who was already associated with dreams (or nightmares specifically) it got me thinking about the nature of his appearance in Link's Awakening.

Could Mamu be a foreign entity that invaded the Wind Fish's dream? Could he have some connection to the nightmare creatures infesting the island?

He certainly doesn't seem malicious in Link's Awakening, seemingly being content to live out a singing career, unlike in his original appearance where his goal was to rule the dream world of Subcon with an army of monsters.

There are many other characters in Link's Awakening who are nods or references to other Nintendo franchises, but unlike the various expies, I believe this Mamu could actually be the original Mamu from Doki Doki Panic/Super Mario Bros. 2, and I'll give a couple reasons why I think this.

Firstly, as mentioned before, Mamu was already a character associated with dreams and nightmares. His name is even an anagram of "muma", the Japanese word for "nightmare". That said, it doesn't seem like a stretch that Mamu could find his way into the dreams of others. And the Wind Fish being a divine entity, apparently with knowledge of other worlds, that could explain Mamu making the leap from the Mario series to the Zelda series.

Secondly, after teaching Link the "Frog's Song of Soul", he disappears, nowhere to be found on the island, just a sign stating that he's gone "on tour". Since the island is nothing but the dream of the Wind Fish, and supposedly nobody can leave it, then what happened to him? Where could he have gone? Assuming Mamu was a foreign entity, could it be assumed he simply fled to another dreamscape?

Thirdly, the characters who teach Link the songs he uses all seem to have some special significance that sets them apart from the other npcs. There's Manbo, a fish who is the offspring of the "Sun Fish" (possible relation to the Wind Fish?), and Marin who is the most prominent and fleshed out character Link interacts with, and seemingly the only dream resident to cross over into the real world in some form at the end. So that just leaves Mamu. What could make him so special?

The way I see it, after Mamu's defeat in his original appearance, he turned over a new leaf and decided to start a musical career, touring through various dream worlds. And I think he may have some connection to the other nightmare creatures on Koholint Island, though rather than fight Link to keep the island, he had the common sense to just leave when things started going south. lol

Huh, interesting aside here.

I'm sure there are a lot of characters and concepts that were created exclusively for this story that aren't direct references to actual things from the Dragon Quest games, but Mamu's gun feels like a nod to a certain gag item in DQ3.

At the time this series was released (1991), there were only 4 DQ games in the series, and none of them featured guns as an equippable weapon (that I can remember). However, in DQ3 there's a remote village called Muor (or Muir/Mur, the translation has evolved over the years) that's entirely optional, doesn't appear on the fast travel menu or anything, and people there keep mistaking you for your heroic ancestor. One kid even shares a toy "you" made for them, a gun called the Water Blaster. It's not a weapon and has no use in battle, but if you use it while standing next to a townsperson, they'll react as if you just shot them with a super soaker. It's a gag item that only serves to add a little bit of world-building and a chuckle, but Mamu's story about Avan giving her an unusual gun that shoots magic feels very similar to that, and makes me think it's more of an indirect reference!

Me getting ready to fight wart

By the way in my Mario universe instead of me fighting bowser I fight wart. Basically bowser changed his ways and he doesn't kidnap peach anymore. Wart keeps kidnapping Rosalina and its up to me and my two brothers Mario and Luigi to save her. Bowser also comes along by the way because well Rosalina is bowser's girlfriend.

For those of you who don't know who wart is well he's a frog and he first appeared in a game called doki doki panic in 1987. The time he appeared in a Mario game was in Super Mario bros 2 in 1988. In other games he is called mamu.

Frog's Song of Soul

[kingdomeromega0816]

This is none other than the known villain "King (Mamu) Wart", only now, he's a retired villain who had a change of heart for the better, (according to my fanfic lore).

He became good enough to become an "anti-hero", but not good enough to be an actual hero. (Thus he can be partially trusted by the heroes, but he's not fully trustworthy...)

In my fanfic, King Wart previously took the career of being in charge of a frog band as a musician and retired from evil-doing. King Wart wanted Iggy Koopa to magically create a sub-servant clone of Geno so that clone could play the flute in his frog band. (Iggy Koopa already became a good guy and a Chosen Hero of the 7 Star-Spirits).

Iggy asked Geno for one of his large string hairs to keep, Geno thought it was weird that Iggy asked for one of his hairs, but he already trusted Iggy as a pupil and friend, so he did not think too much of it. Geno agreed to cut one of his string hairs and gave it to Iggy.

King Wart wanted Iggy to make a magic Geno clone because he heard Geno play a flute very well and wanted such talent in his frog band. Iggy used a spell from star-spirit magic, while King Wart used his magic to combine it with Iggy's magic to create the clone. Iggy and King Wart made the mistake of combining the holier star-spirit magic with King Wart's darker magic and thus accidentally created the Pseudo-Genos.

Since no one's a sucker for Wart/Mamu from Smb2 then fine I'll do it. Lmaoooo XD. Can I have a Wart/Mamu from Smb2 X Reader fluff and smut (insert lenny face) headcanons plssss? (灬º‿º灬)♡

Of course! :D Also decided to go through the headcanon asks in my inbox since I haven’t touched it in a while. I hope you enjoy!

Wart x Reader - Headcanons

Fluff Headcanons:

Wart wasn’t the best at romantical interactions... at first. His kisses were sloppy and his hugs were brief and had little warmth... but now? Best hugger and kisser out there... in your personal opinion, of course.

Due to his large size and overall body shape, it's a little difficult to cuddle with him... but you two certainly make it work. It wasn't anything a few pillows and varying sleeping angles couldn’t fix.

Before you two could figure out the cuddling situation, you actually sat halfway on his lap... a lot. It was comfortable and warm, and made you want to sit completely still all day. He only minded when he had to do something, but otherwise, he seemed to like it with you so close to him.

You sometimes like to steal one of his purple robes that he keeps in his wardrobe. It gets cold in the castle at times, and the robe certainly helps due to how big it is on you.

‎

NSFW Headcanons:

Wart's cock was pocketed away in a sheath below his stomach, and it took some work to get it to come out. Because of that, foreplay played a large role in sex, usually taking up ten to twenty minutes.

He also took his time with sex in general, going slow for the most part. The only time he went fast was when he had to go do something, and you were left hurting for at least a day or so.

While Wart isn't a female any way shape or form, he does lay eggs inside of you, which is the main reason he makes sure to go slow. A singular egg is around the size of a pea, so he ends up placing a few hundred inside of you each time. The eggs aren't really fertile unless you sit in a bathtub for a few months or if they're soaked in freshwater some other way, so they either dissolve or come out after a while.

...Though, there was one incident when an egg was somehow fertilized, and thus was how you got a son. He was more human than anything, but does have a handful of frog-like characteristics. Wart was definitely not expecting for something like that to happen, but he seemed mildly joyful that you two were able to procreate.
