[xanderlovesluigi]

long time no see tumblr (i forgot this app existed)

been practicing animating lately and made this little gif of luigi with the floro sprout. dont worry I’m definitely planning more…

ALSO!! if you are a fan of my work i also have 2 instagrams!! thatonestupidskittle is my art acc and skittlestarsaga is nintendo stuff so you should go follow me there too (no pressure)

[strivia]

I haven't finished watching through a playthrough of Super Paper Mario yet. But the concept of the floro sprout controlling Luigi is downright horrific to me. No plants growing inside his brain THANK YOU. resisting mind control is a great reason to make him cry blood though

The pose of this is inspired by this animation over on youtube.

There's a convention coming up this weekend in town....

I recently became a Super Paper Mario fan and I'm about to make it everyone's problem

SPM: Despair in Chaos

Here's what I imagined what happened in Super Dimentio's mind. Luigi slowly falling into despair as he's being controlled by Dimentio. Poor Weeg.

[dimentio-fan]

Okay, I forgot if I've mentioned this idea, I don't think so.

I have seen this idea going around that Floro Sprout roots are red. Blood red. This has inspired a new headcannon.

TW: Mentions of blood loss, brain death, possibly decay.

So, the floro sprout roots looks blood red because they are stained with actual blood, like how normal plant roots look weirdly water-stained. Now, where does this blood come from?

The part(s) of the brain that control conscious thoughts, free will, and emotion.

But what happens with a human circulatory system which connects the entire bloodstream together, now includes the Floro Sprout itself?

The human body gets slowly drained of blood while the Sprout feeds.

This means that the Sprout will take blood from the body, starting with the brain, and as more parts of the body die from lack of oxygen (blood carries oxygen around the body), the Sprout starts impacting the actual brain, making IT die as well.

Now, if, say... this Sprout were magically modified, then it could keep the body moving long after death, allowing for a fun little puppet that is completely dependant on the thing that is killing it.

I wish you luck, Luigi...

🌱

This headcannon was partially inspired by a Pokémon RP of Luigi, where a bird pecks his head and reveals a dead Floro Sprout stuck to his brain, blood dripping from the roots.

King Croacus

Welll, the title is because in this part, we'll analize all the "Flora Kingdom royalty", or, all the kings with that name, let's begin!

Fun fact: In Italian, the kings' name is Re Cardo, re means King, Cardo is a given name and the Italian word for "thistle". Maybe a pun on the Italian name "Riccardo".

There are four known members of the Flora Kingdom's royal lineage, only one of which is alive at the time of the events of the game. All members have paintings in the palace of King Croacus IV, which come with biographical recounts of their rule. In addition to the four kings and queens which are seen in painting form, there is a mentioned prince from during King Croacus I's rule, though he goes unseen.

King Croacus I

Painting description: King Croacus the First (Reign: 1-496). The first king of the Flora Kingdom. Croacus I is known as the greatest of kings. He united the Floro Sapien under a single cause, creating the Flora Kingdom. He made a capital here and established a calendar, begun at the kingdom's birth. Heavily armored, he bore deadly thorns and came to be called the "Iron Rose". The kingdom's infrastructure and early roads were built by Croacus I's design. But when his successor, the prince, wilted unexpectedly, so did Croacus I's spirit. The Flora year 444 marked the start of his reign of fear, "The Darkening." Eventually Croacus I and his foul regime were overthrown in a sappy coup d'etat. The king was struck down, marking the official end of The Darkening. His wiltering words were said to be "The Iron Rose shan't wither!" But wither he did.

King Croacus I, also known as the Iron Rose, was the first king of the Floro Sapiens. The Floro Sapiens regard him as their greatest king, since he united them all into the Flora Kingdom. He created the Flora Calendar, and set the capital at the Floro Caverns. His nickname, the Iron Rose, comes from his heavy armor and deadly thorns. However, the wilting of his son in the Flora year 444 changed his mentality. He became corrupt, a period referred to as "The Darkening", at which point, his daughter staged a coup d'état and took over the Floro Sapiens. His dying words were stated to be "The Iron Rose shan't wither!" His nickname, Iron Rose, may be a reference to the Iron Lady title that is usually used to describe female heads of government. Despite this, King Croacus I is male.

Fun fact 2: He appears depicted in a mural in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials, in rooms 26-50. Croacus I ruled from the Flora Calendar's year 1 to year 496; this alongside his depiction in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials and the timeframe of King Croacus IV's recent actions in Flora years 1625-1626 imply he was the Floro Sapien king entrusted with the indigo Pure Heart by the Tribe of Ancients, 1,500 years prior to the events of Super Paper Mario. The Pure Heart would be guarded by the royal lineage even after his fall, eventually making it to Croacus IV.

Prince Croacus: He was Queen Croacus II's sibling, and was going to inherit the throne. However, he suddenly wilted in the year 444, leading to the mental decline, corruption, and eventual death of his father as well. Queen Croacus the Second eventually took the throne in his place after the fall of Croacus I. Prince Croacus dying in 444 is an example of a common Japanese (and Chinese) association of the number four with death, as the characters for "four" (四) and "death" (死) have similar readings (shi, in Japanese).

Fun fact 3: Every ruler of the Floro Sapiens, regardless of gender, is named "Croacus", which is based on the Crocus plant. This 👇

(A/N): Since there are no images, I decided to make my own design with the popular color of the original flower. Ya like it?

Queen Croacus II

Painting description: Queen Croacus the Second (Reign: 496-1298). Croacus II was the daughter of the great ruler, King Croacus I. Croacus II was imprisoned for being critical of the former king's policies, but...When he was overthrown by the people, Croacus II was freed and given the throne. Her efforts to reduce taxes and study diseases made Croacus II very popular...Eventually, her influence helped erase the scars The Darkening had left. She also compiled a Floro Sapien prehistory called "The Flictionarian." The book was to be her legacy, a historic mark of her benevolent influence. Croacus II feared the fight for the throne that might ensure if she bore many heirs. She had but one heir, late in her life. This earned her the name "The White Maiden."

Queen Croacus II, also known as The White Maiden, was the second ruler of the Floro Sapiens. She was imprisoned by her father for disagreeing with his views, but after his overthrow, was set free and became queen. She was very popular, because she reduced taxes and studied diseases. She also wrote The Flictionarian, a prehistory of the Flora Kingdom. She was worried that if she had many children, they would fight for the crown, so she only had one heir a year before she wilted. This having only one child to succeed her was what gave her the nickname "The White Maiden." She ruled from the Flora calendar's years 496 to 1298 (802 Flora years).

King Croacus III

Painting description: King Croacus the Third (Reign: 1298-1385). Croacus III was one when his mother wilted. He became the youngest king ever. The young king had a great predilection and talent for poetry and art...His talent was evidence in works like "Ice Rose", a book of poems from his 37th year. But he was also afflicted by a terrible disease from the time he was born...Without ever impacting the affairs of his kingdom, he wilted at age 88. The cause of his wiltering was never made public. Many suspected a conspiracy...This was never confirmed... 

King Croacus III was the third ruler of the Floro Sapiens. At age 1, he became the youngest king in Flora history after his mother wilted. Due to his young age, a regent ruled in his place. He was afflicted with a disease at birth, which made him weak and sickly. He had a great talent for art and poetry, releasing a book of poems called Ice Rose, at age 37. He wilted at age 88 for unknown reasons, but some suspected a conspiracy. He ruled from the Flora Calendar's years 1298 to 1385, the shortest rule of any Floro Sapien king. Due to his early death, he left little impact on the Flora Kingdom. His regent succeeded him as the ruler of the Floro Sapiens, as King Croacus IV.

King Croacus IV

Painting description: King Croacus the Fourth (Reign: 1385-present). Formerly a regent for King Croacus III, he ruled in place of the frail child king. After Croacus III's wilting, his service was recognized, and he was made king. His stabilizing influence and politicial savvy made him popular and well-known. His recent achievements include: In Flora year 1625, he invented a method for mind-controlling Cragnons. In Flora year 1626, he spearheaded an initiative to enslave Cragnons en masse.

The flamboyant king of the Floro Sapiens, Croacus adores beauty and spends most of his time brainwashing Cragnons to rebuild his castle full of jewels. He is also the owner of the sixth Pure Heart. As told by the description under the painting in his palace, he was the regent for King Croacus III until he came of age. When the young ruler wilted, Croacus IV, popular due to his stabilizing influence, was appointed King. He does not care for fighting, but when Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser enter his chambers, he decides to dispose of them. He resembles a giant flower and is named after the real life Crocus plant. His obsession with beauty may be a nod to another flower named Rosie, from the first Paper Mario.

After he is eventually defeated, it is revealed that the Cragnons were polluting the waters that the Floro Sapiens drank from, and that King Croacus was trying to save his people by mind-controlling the Cragnons with Floro Sprouts. Upon witnessing the scene, Flint Cragley declares that he will show his tape to the Cragnons, ending the war between the two races.

If  we visit Croacus after Chapter 5 but before completing Chapter 7, he will still lie on the same spot on the floor, supposedly dead (or wilted, since he looks like a flower). The Floro Sapien who is watching over him says that he thinks that Croacus will revitalize, which he eventually does.

Following the defeat of the final boss, King Croacus can be found in healthy spirits once again; initially, he will claim his intentions are to wage war upon Mario and the Cragnons again. However, he quickly makes it clear that he is only joking and reverts to a more normal personality, saying that most of the polluted water was drained while he 'slept'. He then expresses his desire to begin a new era of peace between the Cragnons and Floro Sapiens.

Quotes: 

"Ooooooo-weeee-ooooooo! Where, oh, where are my pretties?!"

"Pretties... Beautiful things... Ooo-wee! Bring them to me... More! More! More!"

"So you must be the intruders I've heard SO much about... Well, I will NOT forgive the great trashening of my beautiful kingdom. NOO-WEE-OO! ...Thus you are warned!"

"Trash is garbage, no matter how you dress it. This world is made for BEAUUUUUTY!"

"Ooo? What is THIS hideous, clashing thing?"

"Ooooooo-weeee-ooooooo! I am back!"

Tattle: That's King Croacus. He leads the Floro Sapiens, and loves beautiful things... Max HP is 50. Attack is 2. He attacks with his head, like other Floro Sapiens... I don't think you can damage him when his face is closed off like that... Using Thoreau to grab stuff, then jumping into him works pretty well, though...

(A/N): Mmmmm. Ok. I'll say the obvious, this is so SUSPICIOUS, don't ya think? First, Dimientio says that Croacus IV is a friend yours. Second, Croacus gives Dimentio Floro Sprouts for brain control. And Third: The disease of King Croacus III suspected a conspiracy and this was never confirmed.

Maybe we think that Dimentio helped Croacus IV to kill the former ruler and taked the throne, and for that, Croacus gives him the Floro Sprouts. 

Just a contradiction... This happened centuries ago!! So, think what you want. I'm tired, I'm going to lie down a little...

Absolutely 100% feel your pain writing SPM from Mario's perspective. Not only did I deeply underestimate how many words it would generate but also how much Mr. L loves hearing himself talk and hates not being Paid Attention to

omg Luigi in his cringe-fail, evil form is that guy who muscles everyone out of the way to be in the middle of the camera shot, dragging his thirtieth over-engineered robot with him. He is insufferable and I love him for it.

Seriously, though, the man is needy af and 100% hijacks my document for like, five pages of self-absorbed monologue, it's hilarious.

[dimensional-duo]

Clown? What clown?

There's only a magician here!

[prinscar]

I see people are referencing an evil Sailor Moon transformation and you know what

Brainwashing Luigi to be evil doesn't mean he can't hate Dimentio and love his brother. That'd require to brainwash his feelings too, which I reckon is far more complicated, and not every villain remembers to do that

Mr.L would feel that his body was violated, that he was used by someone who viewed him as a tool. That'd make any evil guy hate Dimentio.

Speaking of the art, that's some nice body horror here.

Though imagine if the explosion inadvertendly killed Dimentio too lol.
