#Anyways given the way Peach AND Donkey Kong reacted to Luigi I'm banking on Team Mario doubling as the Luigi Protection Squad

Do you think Peach sees Luigi as a little brother? Like she takes one look at the clumsy, shy man that he is and then is like, "I don't care if he's a bit older than me, he's my little brother now too."

I hope Mario is willing to share his little brother custody of Luigi with Peach.

Honestly? That is everything I want out of a Luigi/Peach relationship. In their brief on-screen interactions, we got... Peach trying to protect Luigi:

and Peach praising Luigi for how brave he was:

"Mom friend" is already her neutral state, so I totally see that evolving into more of a "big sister" role as she becomes familiar with the full extent of Luigi's capabilities. But I think Mario will be more than happy to share custody.
