My boi Luigi plsss

Send me a character

YEET LET’S-A GO

FAVORITE THING ABOUT THEM: Definitely how he has the most character development out of every character in the entire series, especially in the “Luigi’s Mansion” games! From a timid and shy dude who wants to run away from anything from anything he sees, we’ve seen him transform into a kick-ass ghost buster who Hulk-smashes the hell out of any spirit he comes across. He’s more fearless than he believes and I can’t wait to see more of that in future titles!

LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THEM: It’s not an extremely problematic thing, but there are times when Luigi’s a little too cautious about things when he shouldn’t feel the need to be. It really upsets me because it’s essentially Luigi questioning his self-confidence all over again. *sobbing*

FAVORITE LINE: “Wowie Z O W I E” “I did it!” It’s such a great line because he really DID Do The Thing he was afraid to do at first, but mustered up enough bravery to do it anyway even while he was shaking in his boots the whole time.

BROTP: DUH. Him and Mario. It’s got “bro” in the title, after all. Their interactions in the “Mario and Luigi” games, in particular, are what sell it the best, for me. Anyone who says these good brothers hate each other (and better yet, justify it with that one cutscene from “Mario Power Tennis”…you know the one) can get these hands because clearly that is not the case.

OTP: LUIGI AND DAISY!!!!!! I hate how their dynamic isn’t explored as heavily as with Mario and Peach, because I think it would be so cute to see what their interactions with each other would be like. Gee, if only Daisy were in more main titles………maybe we could……….but a girl can dream. *sigh* 

NOTP: Luigi and Bowser. I’m sorry, but I really don’t see how anyone can seriously ship them. Bowser hates anyone associated with Mario that isn’t Peach, and being HIS LITERAL TWIN BROTHER, Luigi is no exception. Besides, Luigi has seen firsthand that Bowser is a humongous jerk, so I could never, EVER see a relationship between them work because of that.

RANDOM HEADCANON: A poltergeist once followed Luigi home and took residence in his and Mario’s basement of their house for a while. Only Luigi knew how to put said poltergeist in its place (that place being in a vacuum for temporary trapping purposes…before releasing him back from whence it came).

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Luigi is not a coward. Like…….at all. Real cowards wouldn’t do half the stuff he’s ever done. If they were in his position, they’d find the first chance to run away, then do exactly that and never look back. Conversely, for all this talk of Luigi being a coward, stays put and GETS SHIT DONE, even while shaking in his boots the entire time. That’s not cowardice. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. And for that reason, I consider Luigi to be one of the bravest characters the “Super Mario” series has ever created.song i associate with them

SONG I ASSOCIATE WITH THEM: “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons. It’s a good song about underdogs who eventually become prominent people, and I also picked the song because it’s a reference to his Thunderhand abilities in “Superstar Saga”. (And also because of that one audio post that SupperMarioBroth made years ago lmao)

FAVORITE PICTURE OF THEM: The character render of Luigi slamming a ghost into the ground from “Luigi’s Mansion 3″. It’s the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. You can tell he’s just throwing his whole body into it and he’s really giving that guy the fight of his life. If anything, he’s probably enjoying the energy rush now that he’s able to do this sort of thing with this new Poltergust model. From a broader standpoint, the overall quality of said render is just plain gorgeous.

Thank you for the ask! I would have finished it earlier, but I was finishing up dinner lol

Angry Game Play

*Okay, but this gif though, I want this.

Bucky Barnes x Shy Reader

Summary: Reader is obnoxiously loud playing video games and Bucky decides to check it out. 

Word Count: 1,552

Warnings: language (sorry, just expect it in every fic I do), yelling, video games, and a lot of fluff. 

A/N: Alright, I don’t know if I really like this all that much. I suck with titles, I’m shaking my head at this one. Let me know what you guys think, please! I’d seriously love some feedback. P.S this gif though? I was like, hmm I wonder what I could use. Lol perfect. Anyways, enjoy!

Being a nerdy, shy girl wasn’t anything new for you or the team. You’ve always been obsessed with tech and video games ever since you were little. It was a part of you that couldn’t be taken away.

It comforted you and in a way, truly expressed who you are. Your shy nature definitely affects the way you act around people, especially those who were obviously more outgoing than you. It’s not that you hated being shy, you just wish you could speak without becoming a stammering mess. It was honestly difficult and exhausting trying to talk to people. 

That’s why you resorted to tech. This, in return, gave you the opportunity to work at Stark Tower, with the Tony Stark. 

You’ve been working at the tower for more than a year now. Your job wasn’t too difficult. It just consisted of you fixing certain electronics around the tower if they stopped cooperating. Sometimes Tony would let you hang out in the lab with him and Bruce, though. You enjoyed time with Bruce, you felt like he understood you well. 

Steve and Bucky always need help with their smartphones. It’s hilarious watching them try and figure everything out, until they come to you, begging for some guidance.

You and Steve were pretty close, but when it came to Bucky, you always felt overwhelmingly flustered and nervous around him, especially being the shy, awkward person you are. You had obvious feelings for Bucky and everyone knew that, but him of course.

Since it was the weekend, you decided to spend it playing video games because why not? It’s not like you have anything better to do. Plus, it was such an overcasty, rainy day. You wanted to be lazier than usual, if that was even possible.

Getting up from your warm, fluffy bed, you walk over to your collection of video games, deciding which one sparked your interest. You were trying to choose between several Legend of Zelda games, a few action packed shooting ones, and your never ending pile of Mario games.

Before deciding, you changed out of your pajamas into some leggings and a loose sweatshirt, returning to where your choices were splayed on the floor.

Fuck, I hate being so indecisive. 

You thought as you pondered your selections. Playing it safe, you finally pick Mario Kart. It’s been forever since you’ve played it and you loved racing games anyway.

After inserting the disk into the console, you head back to your bed and turn on the TV, while making yourself comfortable. As the game title appears, you enter into the game and quickly pick the character you love most, in this case it was Dry Bones. You loved the weird sound he made, for some odd reason.

After that, you had to pick the race track of your choice. Being all high and mighty you picked Rainbow Road.

Pfft, I’ve won this so many times before. I got this.

You smirked to yourself, pressing enter. Suddenly, you remembered how loud you actually got when you played and hurriedly paused the race and turned towards your bedside table. You plugged in your phone and played the  Revolution Radio album by Green Day. It pumped you up and made the  playing experience even more intense. 

Everyone in the tower knew that once you did this, you couldn’t be disturbed. Even though the rooms were somewhat soundproof, they could still hear your music blasting. None of the avengers knew what you were really doing. They didn’t want to ask, afraid of invading your personal space. 

You tend to be a yeller when playing video games, so this was the best way to cover it up without them thinking someone was attacking. You couldn’t help it. It was intense and you were always in the zone!

Pressing play, you mentally prepare yourself. The race begins and you start off at a solid third place.

After an easy first lap, you know something bad is going to happen. As you make your way past Daisy in second place, you hear that familiar ding, ding, ding sound of the red shell behind you.

“That little FUCKER! Oh, you’re so dead.” You shout, the music covering every word.

For the Avengers down stairs, they continue their regular day activities. Steve is cleaning around the tower, Bruce and Tony are hanging out in the lab, as usual. Wanda and Vision went out to the market no matter how many weird looks Vision would get, and Natasha and Clint were training, figuring out new fighting techniques for the next mission. That leaves Sam and Bucky who were currently in the living room. Sam is quietly enjoying a show on the TV, while Bucky is trying to focus on reading his book.

Every thump he hears from you upstairs makes him sigh angrily and look at Sam.

“Dude, stop looking at me. I can’t do anything about it. Just go ask Y/N to turn it down.” Sam softly says, directing his attention from the TV to Bucky.

Bucky looks at him with a confused expression, “I would, but she won’t listen to me. She barely even looks at me! I mean, yeah it’s annoying, but I- I don’t know. I’ll try.” He sighs and heads up towards your courtiers.

As Bucky walks down the hall, the music increases in volume. He can’t hear anything but the music. 

How the hell can she do anything with it that loud? 

Forming a fist, he tries knocking at a reasonable rate so it doesn’t seem angry or irritated. Of course, you can’t hear it since your shouting at the top of your lungs at Luigi, who just knocked you out of first place.

“What the fuck was that, man? I thought we were FRIENDS!” You shouted at the screen, not even acknowledging the knock on the door.

Bucky, however, heard a few words since the song playing was coming to an end. He couldn’t take it and busted through your door.

“What the shit! You’re going to get it now, Brows-”, your shout coming to a stop as you see Bucky standing in the entrance of your room, confused and a light pink dusted across his cheeks.

You feel your cheeks beat red like a tomato and eyes widen as you realize who’s in your room.

Fuck me… Was I really that loud?

You thought, mentally face palming and feeling even more embarrassed.

“Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt your fun, but could you maybe turn it down, please?” Bucky said, looking into your eyes with a curious expression.

Face beating even more than before, you stutter, “I-I, uh s-sorry. I didn’t u-uh, t-think anyone heard m-me.” Looking down at your controller instead of Bucky’s piercing eyes, while running a hand quickly through your hair anxiously.

“It wasn’t you, doll. Your music was just a bit loud.” He added with a chuckle, causing you to smile at the sound.

“O-oh, well, I-uh get a little into i-it and I use the music to cover m-my yelling.” You state, nervously chucking.

Bucky takes a step in towards you, crossing his arms against his chest. “Get a little into what exactly?”

You turn towards the screen and point, Bucky’s eyes wandering to the screen against the wall.

Oh right, he probably doesn’t understand what this is…

You think, mentally slapping yourself. “Well, uh, i-it’s a video game. Y'know-w where you, uh use a controller an-nd play?” You say, having it come out more as a question. 

What the fuck was that? “Use a controller and ‘play’.” God that’s pathetic, Y/N.

Bucky, still looking confused as before, asks, “hmm, would you mind if I watched you then? It seems like… fun? Plus, it’s somethin’ we never had back in the day. I want to catch up on what I missed, y’know?” He honestly just wanted to hang out with you and have you open up to him. He didn’t know why you were so shy and isolated all the time. 

“Oh, uh-s-sure, if you want. I-uh, I-okay.” You nervously stuttered, looking away from his eyes.

You decide to take an easier course this time since you didn’t want Bucky to think you were crazy, nor did you want him to leave. What a nightmare that would be.

Bucky joins you on the empty side of your bed, grabbing a blanket off the floor and wrapping himself in it.

Settling on Moo Moo Meadows, you started the race. Soon enough, Donkey Kong lingered behind you with a green shell, totally knocking you out of fourth place all the way back to eleventh. Reminding yourself not to yell, you quietly mumbled a few curse words, hoping Bucky wouldn’t hear your frustration.

After a couple minutes, Bucky speaks up from watching you. “I can see why you get angry. I’d be pissed if I was hit with whatever the hell that was,” while laughing.

You kept your concentration on the screen, blushing lightly and adding a chuckle, thankful he understood. You didn’t want to let your guard down all the way. Scaring him away isn’t something you’d forgive yourself for. Especially over a stupid game like Mario Kart. 

After picking another course, you couldn’t contain your anger for the current situation. As you were turning the corner and in first place, Toad was right behind you and decided to push you off the corner. Along with that, you were blasted with a bomb.

Before you could shout your frustrations, you hear a voice beside you, “What the HELL was that?! That’s absolute bullshit!”

You turn towards Bucky with wide eyes and scream, “Right?! What the actual fuck was that?”, while throwing the controller. 

You see Bucky get up, thinking he was going to leave. But he ends up grabbing the other controller and sits down beside you again.

Turning to look at you with a serious expression he says, “let’s get this motherfucker.”
