#I guess it because he's like the mario?

[chewysgummies]

Y'know, as much as I don't want to have twitter anymore, sometimes I get interesting information about how Chase from Paw patrol is the least popular character that even the plushie of him from build a bear sold less compared to the liberty bear and other paw patrol character

can we PLEASEEEEE talk about nico sturm's white boy swag PLEASE. like what was that. why were the sharks so intensely hiding his white boy swag. "oh we got him for his face offs" WHAT ABOUT HIS WHITE BOY SWAG. imagine if the sharks had not made a holiday music video we would not have never known about nico sturm's insane white boy swag. ik you all are consumed with thing1 and thing2 and also thing3 and thing4 but what was going on with nico sturm in that video, we need to discuss. why was he the only one giving it's big and i know what to do with it energy. ON THE SHARKS?? HELLO

ALSO. cody ceci can't rap nor should he ever again get his ass off the mic but he DID sound like an npr show host. he has the smooth tenor of a man telling me on all songs considered that this all-female octogenarian shoegaze quartet is going to be playing at hardly strictly bluegrass this year. or like a guy who was an overnight host for a classical music station. he's telling me he's got gershwin to accompany me through the cold winter night. he's signing off with an instrumental version of "st. james infirmary" at 6am. he calls his listeners his "lovers" and gets away with it bc the only people who listen to overnight classic music stations are lonely old men and particularly unwell college students. ohhhh cody ceci you're wasted as a dman you should be romancing old men

[cozystars]

altercations.

transcript below

Image One - Luigi, internally: What if he died. What if he exploded.

Image Three - Waluigi: Your bull-headed brother sent Wario to the hospital. Luigi: Well, you shouldn't have encouraged him. Waluigi: Yeah? You're lucky we're not pressing charges. Luigi: You're lucky Mario cares enough to send flowers.

Image Five - Mario: ...So could you at least consider forgiving me?

Image Six - Wario: Stars, you're so lame for even asking.

Image Seven - Mario: I cracked your head open. And you're not even a bit mad?!

Image Eight - Wario: Yep! Not a lot of people can say that. You should be proud!

old mario as spamton design from months ago that i redrew just now. he is weird looking and will be left to rot in a gamestop employee room for 300 years

[shartfinz]

I don't think Luigi would have ever had any of his own friends for like most of his life because he is a yapper

Recently re-stumbled across the cutscenes of "Yoshi's Crafted World", this is basically my takeaway from them.

[kakusu-shipping]

You’re all getting another unpromted headcanon dump because I’m very personally tired of the “Mario would hide his struggles and trauma post Movie from Luigi because he doesn’t want to look weak and keep up the appearance of the Strong Older Brother” take. Don’t Eldest Daughter Syndrome Mario. He and Luigi are a team. A pair. He would tell Luigi everything.

Anyway here’s everything I think Mario personally struggles with and would rely on Luigi for

The Mario movie put it very blatantly on the table that Mario’s a little touchy about his height. It’s probably more so because he’s use to being picked on as The Short Guy on the sports team rather than it really actually bothering him all that much. He’s just assumes someone calling him short is an insult. The only personal problem he has with it is being shorter than Luigi. They spent a lot of their childhood the same height, and Luigi being taller still messes them both up from time to time

This is another left over from Highschool; Mario and Luigi (accidentally) kind of fell into the trope of the Smart twin and the Sporty twin, with Mario being the ladder. This messed with his head in a way he couldn’t really articulate, being expected to be a Meathead like the other guys on his sports teams did actually cause his grades to go down, especially in Math which use to be his best subject, which of course caused a lot of concerned backlash from their parents, especially his dad. Now he has it locked in his brain somewhere he’s stupid when he’s not.

He’s bad with people. Luigi’s a lot more of a people person than he is. He has a hard time connecting to people, or making simple small talk. He can be pretty blunt, or awkward, and maybe a bit aggressive sounding, especially to someone not use to how loud and confidently he speaks. As he gets older he gets quieter, speaks less, falls into a much more comfortable selective mute life style, and it suits him much better than trying to fumble through talking to people. He prefers to listen

He’s definitely a workaholic, he’d gotta be busy busy busy all the time. A lot of people will see him run from one project to the next, never turning down a request for help with something, constantly juggling tasks and working on something in his spare time and think it’s all because he’s such a nice, hard working guy. But no. It’s the stress of not doing enough. Or because he anxious being alone. Luigi’s the only one who knows Mario will keep going till he crashes, and is the one to always stop him and remind him he’s doing enough, he’s enough. Take a break.

Mario’s always struggled with separation anxiety. He’s never been one for the whole concept of “alone time”, he’d much rather be near people he loves and trusts and can relax around. He use to joke it stems from being born first, those few moments before Luigi was born was more than enough alone time for a life time. He tries to wave it off occasionally, but it really is a problem. If he is ever left alone, say Luigi goes off on some grand adventure without him, he finds things to work on until he passes out, and then just sleeps and lays about until Luigi comes back.

god, i suck at mario 2. i'm disparaging my legacy.... seriously, how the fuck have i beaten the lost levels without save states but can't get past 1-3 in american mario 2???? why am i not instantly good at a game i've never really played, god!!!! my mother would be disappointed in me

post writing the tags turtle here: i started rambling about my childhood made the tags longer than the actual post and don't feel like putting them onto the actual post because that'd be too much work and i'm feeling lazy. read em if you want personal bullshit! or don't. i'm not care

[marclef]

hello everybody my name is marclef-plier and welcome back to this garbage.

man i have so much stuff i wanna do but, at least i've got today's good boy out of the way. another friend i don't think i've drawn for a while.

huh. i'm starting to think my interests in Italian Men with Anxiety might not be a new thing.

[rustystars]

[skeletalheartattack]

ignoring realistic necessities like food, care, space, and medical attention, what video game enemy would you want to have as a pet ?

if i had to choose. it'd be one of these three.

[illdothehotvoice]

Going through the Luigi & Waluigi tag on AO3 and finding little to no fics and remembering that oh yeah this is a dynamic I am very picky about and only I seem to actually care about this much huh.

[pianokantzart]

Also do you think Mario was a daddy’s boy? I had this feeling since Luigi is clearly mamma’s boy, so like, while she took care of Luigi, did their dad take care of Mario? Did he teach Mario stuff? They were close and then they grew apart a little so he feels like he can say those things to Mario but they aren’t as close as they were once??? Just them cuddling with baby Mario wanting to go with daddy always ;-;

We can only speculate! ... and write fic, of course :)

I can definitely see young Mario following around his Dad and being enamored by him. I've mentioned before that I suspect Mario's Dad works in manual labor, so who knows, that may have been what inspired Mario's athleticism and eventual (albeit momentary) job as a construction worker. But I don't think there was a "growing apart" so much as Mario coming into his own, as it goes with many kids. Mario is a very independent guy. He respects his father and wants his approval, but he's also adamant about forging his own path. Though Mario's Dad likely wouldn't express it out loud, he is probably proud to see this independence. Heck, he might even be proud of Mario's bullheadedness in a "chip off the old block" kind of way. He just doesn't want him making giant, insanely risky decisions like spending his (and his brothers) entire life savings on a commercial for a brand new startup business right after quitting a stable job.

But that's simply my interpretation. There is nothing in canon that suggests Mario and his dad didn’t use to be super close, but then drifted apart over time.
