The totally ironic-unironic shipping of luigi and bowser is such a blessing in disguise bc its like: “haha yea fuckin luigi and a big ass dinosaur man kissing super funny to think abt” but then…. once you actually sit back and think abt it- they work
They have everyone’s favorite tropes down to a fucking T and the world that they live in literally gives unlimited ideas that could absolutely happen. Not convinced?
1. Enemies to lovers. Im not elaborating
2. Size difference- in whatever form you put bowser in, human or not, that dude has FEET on luigi.
3. Hurt- luigi is playing for other team (metaphorically and literally)by loving bowser. People are bound to get hurt whether it’s the betrayal from mario, bowser not understanding how someone could see the good in him, or luigi getting pushed away with the inner turmoil of guilt for falling in love w the enemy…rich angst opportunities people
4. Fluff- on the other hand, we see bowser absolutely having a soft romantic side. They would totally take time to learn about each other’s respective cultures and try doing new things together. I could go on w the fluffy brainrot w these two but that’ll be another post
5. The power dynamic- a prisoner in love w their captor. An outsider in love w the king. Its gonna stir the pot
6. Mirror images- for example, bowser rules by relying on fear. luigi is nothing but scared. They could give each other the shove they need in the right direction- bowser making luigi more confident and, in turn, luigi making bowser rule with respect
I could go on but these are the first few things that come to mind. Call me crazy for feeding into this ship but I can see this working
