The Power-Up Origin Hypothesis

A question one might ask in regards to the Mario lore is where do Power-Ups come from, well I have a hypothesis.

So in Super Mario Galaxy you can feed a Lumalee at the Luma Shop to get a mushroom of your choice.

Afterwards eating the Star Bits the Lumalee will transform in into either a 1-Up Mushroom or Life Shroom which Mario eats to aid him in his quest.

I believe this is where Power-Ups in the Mushroom Kingdom come from, whether it be a Super Mushrooms or Super Stars. Which also make sense because Lumas do become things like planets, galaxies, and Power Stars as well.

So a Super Star would make sense and explain where they come from.

Since Mario eats the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower this must time into the cycles Rosalina speaks of.

On top of that this would explain why power-ups like Super Stars are sapient, and Mushrooms like the Rotten Mushroom and Poison Mushroom seem to be alive.

would you ever have the either of the bros use a 1-up in your art?

Oooh this is a tricky question. 🙇‍♀️

Short answer is maybe. Long answer is "I absolutely want to and have been scribbling down notes for a personal take on this concept ever since I joined the fandom months before the movie even came out, the idea is very much there but I can't seem to narrow it down to a feasible format that wouldn't take me forever to make and there's so much context needed to reach that point it admittedly feels a little overwhelming, so I honestly have no idea whether I'll actually draw it someday or not, BUT the inspiration for it has remained constant and I think about it on a fairly regular basis, so... That's good. I think?" 😅

If anything, the 1-UP mushroom will definitely at least be mentioned in my art eventually, but I can't offer any guarantee other than that. ><

Power-Up Mayham: Bee!

My OC Pearl in two more power-up forms, the Super Bell from 3D World and the Weird Mushroom from Mario Maker.

Neither of these were twitter suggestions, I just thought they would be fun to make. Cat Pearl is based on a sphynx cat, their gremlin-like appearance matches pretty well with her underground origins. Wrinkles have never looked so cute! And Weird Pearl's crystal hair is stretched out just like her limbs.

Had fun with these!

shipping isn’t about what the writers or actors say is or isn’t romantic. shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time. shipping is about seeing The Dynamic and going absolutely hog wild in your mind and your friends dms about it.

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

This isn’t about the body swap. I was just curious, in your AU does your Mario and Luigi already have their powers while living in Brooklyn and just didn’t realize it or did they gain it after entering the Mushroom Kingdom? Will we eventually see Luigi’s electric abilities in your AU? I just wonder how they came about with these powers in your au.

I like to think that while Mario and Luigi are normal guys that only obtained these powers in the magical realm, they also had a predisposition for those. The same way Mario is unnaturally strong, or Luigi can jump unnaturally high in my version. They're regular human beings, but there was always a little something special about them too. 🎇

You guys saw Mario's Firebrand in my collab with Drones, but that's obviously not all. ;3 I don't know if I'll delve further in the context of these specific powers per say, but something I'll soon share and which I had never shown before is... kinda similar to that. 👀

Sleepy King

The Justice League Dark caught wind of a cult trying to summon the Ghost King. A being with power so terrible and great, that all of the chaotic Infinite Realms feared him. A true tyrant. Long ago it took the effort of ghosts equal to gods to seal him away into a permeant slumber.

And now this cult wishes to wake him and bring him to the living realm. It was a race against the clock to find the ritual site and all members were called on board, magic or not. Even Constantine looked stressed.

They did find the site.

But it was too late, the ritual was completed. The entire inner circle of runes glowed before being swallowed in a column of green light. The air filled with static and a ringing that made Supergirl crumble to the ground.

The light dissipated, but there was no great figure or being of pure evil. Instead there was a boy, a teenager. He laid on the ground curled up in his sleep. He was a ghost no doubt, dressed in regal clothing.

Despite this when he stirred, everyone froze. It seemed the cold hard ground woke him up. He got up slowly and yawned, revealing his sharp fangs. Once sat up he opened his bleary eyes to look around. He looked confused and tired, really tired.

"Where am I?" He mumbled. "I was trying to get some sleep." Constantine internally screaming, latches onto that last sentence. He glances over to Batman. He caught that last part too. Batman approaches calmly and crouches down in front of the boy king. Hardening his resolve, Batman takes on a gentle tone.

"Hey kiddo, sorry we woke you. Lets get you back to bed yeah?" The boy nodded in agreement. He pulled himself to his feet before looking around in a circle. "Where did my blanket go?" He asked rather sadly. Batman is quick to shed his own cape and drape it over him. "You can borrow my cape until we get you a new one." He nodded again, pulling the black fabric around himself.

John quickly summoned a portal door, while Batman led the King through it. John threw looks around at everyone. Everyone could tell he was mouthing the words. 'Find me a fucking blanket now'

Running on the logic of getting the king away from Earth, away from graves and the undead, that could give him power. The portal led to the Watch Tower.

Batman took advantage of the King's bleary state to send a base wide alert for all noncritical members to evacuate immediately. With a priority that death adjacent members leave first. "The stars are pretty." Bruce looked at the boy staring out the window in wonder. He almost looked like a normal kid, almost.

"Yeah they are, it's pretty late so we should get you back to bed." He nodded, going along with Batman's gentle coaxing.

He takes the boy to an unused bedroom. Making sure the room isn't dusty and that lights are dimmed. He glances back to see about a dozen different leaguers all holding blankets, one thought to bring extra pillows. The bed was pretty barren with only a single pillow and a thin bedsheet. So Bruce took a thick duvet, one of the fluffier blankets and a second pillow from his team before shooing them away.

The boy ended up keeping his cape, mumbling how it was warm. He tucked the boy in, before quietly exiting the room and turning off the light. He was pretty sure the King fell back to sleep before he even reached the light switch.

After the door shut, he made direct eye contact with John. "Constantine." They needed to figure out what the hell was going on.
