The Simpsons Ultimate Showdown!

Round 1: MARTIN PRINCE VS LUIGI RISOTTO

Martin Prince TidBit: Following the passing of Russi Taylor, Martin's original voice actor, her last performance as Martin was Season 31's "Thanksgiving of Horror." She was quickly replaced (a bit disrespectful imo) in the same season's "Marge the Lumberjill" by Grey DeLisle, as well as Sherri & Terri.

Luigi Risotto TidBit: HIS FUKING NAME IS LUIGI RISOTTO, WTF

[faline-cat444]

Aside from this question I can’t really place a time in show they actually put the job title in front of Luigi’s name.They have however taken advantage of a certain pair of plumbers by saying there’s a rival business in Springfield’s Italian district called Mario’s.

Prison Escapes and Pianos

[AO3 Link]

The thing about being kidnapped by people other than Bowser was that a lot of the time, they didn't know what to do with her.

They didn't know to keep more than one guard outside her room at all times; they didn't know to not go into her cell when she sounded upset; they didn't know to not serve her food in a cast-iron skillet; they didn't know Daisy had taught her at least three different ways to knock someone out quietly when the need arose.

But honestly, it was their fault for trying to impress her with a seafood risotto when she pretended to cry about the state of the food here. I mean, really?

Regardless, the lack of guards in front of her cell seemed to be the rule, not the exception, so sneaking through the manor she’d been taken to was more or less trivial as long as she took care not to get too lost. But this place was hardly more labyrinthine than any other castle she’d been in, and before she knew it she was hiding in a storage room, eyeing the window on the far side of it. She could hide in here until nightfall, she was pretty sure, and jump out of there to escape. They didn't know she could float, after all.

But before she could poke her head out to judge the distance to the ground, she heard noises from outside. Quickly, she ducked behind a stack of boxes and watched. Interestingly, the noises were coming not from the door, but from the window she was just about to investigate. Before her eyes, a gloved hand grasped the bottom of the window frame, followed by another, followed by —

“Mario!”

Mario froze halfway through the window, clearly not expecting Peach to be anywhere except for the cell he’d expected her kidnappers to stuff her in. Or maybe he did, by the way a smirk grew on his face next. The knot of worry in Peach’s chest loosened; she knew he’d been working tirelessly as always to rescue her, and it eased her mind immensely to see that he was alright.

As Mario climbed the rest of the way inside, his own relief at Peach being alright was interrupted by a jolt of shock running through him, to which he turned around and scowled somewhere behind and beneath him. As Peach helped him into the room, the likely cause of that ire became clear as Luigi’s green hat poked up into view next, shadowing a face that looked vaguely annoyed. But his surprise at seeing Peach not only wiped that annoyance away but also loosened his grip on the windowsill, and Mario and Peach both dove forward to grab him before he fell. Once safely inside and on the floor, Luigi sighed in exaggerated relief. Mario snickered. Luigi shoved him, rolling his eyes skyward.

Peach couldn't help but giggle at the antics. “I’m glad you both are okay,” she said aloud, and Mario and Luigi smiled at her. She also reached out to squeeze Luigi’s hand, because he hadn't said a word yet and by the lines of stress by his eyes it was very likely that he couldn't, right now. Their journey to get here must have been difficult...

And as she grasped his hand, she made sure to check for any injuries with her magic, soothing any hurts that she could. When she finished, Luigi looked a little more settled, and she turned her attention to Mario. But Mario shook his head as if he didn't need any healing at all. Which, judging by the look on Luigi’s face, was a complete lie.

“It’s not like I don’t have the energy,” Peach scolded Mario, and with an apologetic huff he stepped forward, letting her place her hands on his cheeks to see what she could do. Almost immediately, her brow furrowed. Goodness, was Mario really going to walk around hiding all of this? She tried to keep the judgment off her face as she finished, but Mario’s face was an embarrassed pink, anyway. Though perhaps that was from the manner in which she healed him.

To distract from her own embarrassment at being so forward, Peach told Mario and Luigi everything she’d learned while being held captive, and everything she’d overheard the guards talking about as she’d been sneaking around. In return, the boys told her of their journey to get to her, and the larger plan the villain who’d captured her had in store, one that proved to be devastating for the Mushroom Kingdom if it was allowed to be completed. Part of the reason it had taken so long to get to her, it seemed, was because they were also taking out the villain’s allies and collecting what they needed to defeat him at the same time. Something that Peach definitely didn't begrudge them for — it was her kingdom’s safety at stake, after all.

The last item Mario and Luigi needed was somewhere in this manor. Peach hadn't seen it while she was escaping, but had seen an important-looking door along the way, a bright red wood that had contrasted the off-gray wallpaper enough to stick in her memory but not enough for her to be curious and open it. That red door was just what the bros were after, so, with a glance down the hall, she led them there. Along the way, she made a stop at her cell, where the Marios stood guard as she scurried in to retrieve a key ring that she’d left behind during her initial escape. She’d nicked it from a guard earlier in the day, and it had a large, sparkling red key on it that would probably prove to be useful. She returned to find the boys frowning at how bare-bones her accommodations were. “It wasn't so bad,” Peach tried to reassure them, despite how lonely it had been and how cold the room had gotten at night. At least Bowser’s cells were warm. Peach’s hands drifted to her arms at the memory of the chill. Still, Mario and Luigi were quick to return to her side, and whether inadvertently or by design, those phantom chills left quicker than they came. She smiled at them.

It was a few hallways after that when they found that red door, and it was only a few rooms deep after stepping through it when the presence of guards upped in frequency. Whenever they did, Peach, who’d thrown her skillet at a chandelier to distract a room of guards during her initial escape, was forced to hide as Mario and Luigi dispatched them, which made her feel quite useless. That is until the bros defeated one of the elite guards, whose sturdy-looking sword fell to the ground beside them when they were KO’d. It didn't look too different from the blades that Peach was used to, so she picked it up with a flourish that had Luigi applauding and Mario looking a bit awe-struck. Peach beamed at the implied praise, and in the very next room she put her new weapon to use, doing her best to not interrupt the brotherly-synchronization Mario and Luigi had going on by taking on one guard they weren't focused on all by herself. She won very handily, but Mario still fussed over her for quite a while afterward; honestly, he was acting almost as bad as Toadsworth! Luigi seemed to think so too, nudging his brother with an amused grin. Mario caught himself and sheepishly gave her some space. But to be fair, Peach wasn't sure if she’d ever really told her friends that she could fight with a sword at all. So she couldn't find it in herself to be cross at the way he showed his concern. So with the assurance that Peach could, in fact, hold her own in a fight, the trio continued through rooms, dispatching guards along the way to the heart of the manor.

Pretty soon, the number of guards thinned out, and Mario, Luigi, and Peach stepped into a room that appeared to be a dead end. The room was completely empty, save for a lone grand piano up on a modest raised platform in the corner, and some bookshelves lining the walls. Peach crept inwards, the Marios following close behind. She marveled at the designs on the hardwood floor, the lines and dots forming abstract patterns under their feet. When her eyes caught on the piano, she brightened. When she tried to go over to it, Mario stopped her.

“What is it?” Peach followed Mario’s suspicious glare to the piano. “Oh, that’s a piano, yeah. It looks well cared for!” At least from here, anyway.

Peach tried to tug her arm out of Mario’s grip, but it wasn't until he let go of her arm himself that she was freed. He walked ahead of her to the piano, approaching it warily; Luigi was close on his heels, with the same cautious air about him.

“Do...you think it's a trap?” Peach asked. Neither brother responded. Mario inched up and tentatively poked the body of the piano. Luigi waved his hands in the space above the piano bench. They circled around it, and Peach’s bemusement shifted into exasperation.

“You guys are acting like it's going to come alive or something!”

The almost haunted look Mario sent her said yes, it might do that. Peach was left wondering where in the world that sort of expectation could come from. She’d never heard of a piano coming to life before.

About to ask about it, a loud BANG interrupted her. Mario jumped, scuttling backward a few steps and almost falling off the platform. Hand to his chest, Luigi pressed himself against the wall. Wide-eyed, they both stared at the piano, its previously-open lid now closed.

Peach huffed. She went up to the piano and propped the lid open again. “You knocked the lid prop out,” she explained, stepping back. After a moment of nothing, the bros relaxed with twin sighs and sheepish laughs.

The two of them still looked like the piano was going to jump up and attack them, though, so Peach circled around to the front of it. She positioned her fingers on the keys and pressed down, and the chord that rang out snapped the both of them out of their stupor. “See? A normal piano,” she announced, and finally the tension left her friends’ faces. They crept up behind her to peer at the papers resting on the music desk. The song written there was easy enough to play, but the song seemed...incomplete. She played it anyway, and as the last notes faded away, nothing seemed to happen.

Or so she thought, as Luigi nudged her shoulder insistently. He pointed at the floor, the pattern on the tiles glowing right before their eyes. And these lines and dots weren’t just decorative, they were sheet music of their own! Peach couldn't see all of it from where she sat on the bench, so Mario and Luigi went down to copy the notes into Luigi’s notebook; when they were done, they brought the music back for Peach to play. Even so, nothing happened. Peach was beginning to think that this whole thing was a wasted excursion when Luigi sat on the bench next to her, shoulder-to-shoulder. He gestured for her to play the new song again, and as she did, he joined in with the old one, both playing at the same time. When they were done, Peach grinned at him. “I didn't know you could play!”

Luigi shrugged, but he was smiling.

Above them, the ceiling glowed with more notes. Again, they played, but seeing as there was no room left on the piano bench, Mario hummed the third melody instead. Luigi turned around to applaud him when the song was done. Peach joined in, if only for the shy look on Mario’s face. “You should sing more often!” Peach told him, and Mario’s blush darkened.

Just then, a series of clanks and clicks and whirrs shook the platform they were on. With a final thunk, the platform jerked harshly; it began spinning slowly, but then faster, descending too quickly for any of them to get off of it in time. So down they went, into the unknown. They could only hope that this would bring them closer to what they needed to stop that villain for good.

From My CuriousCat

"Mains in Smash for La Squadra, go go go"

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I have never played Smash, but I did go to Wikipedia to look up the sort of characters that can be played in it, and will do my best to pick for everyone based on what I know about that character! The results might be very silly from an actual player's perspective and I apologize in advance.

Risotto: Went from Solid Snake to Kirby. Hasn't looked back.

Prosciutto: Bayonetta, also known as his wife.

Formaggio: Incineroar. How can he not, it's a fire-type cat. (Let's ignore the irony.)

Illuso: Villager. Loves to abuse the pocket, just like in real life.

Melone: R. O. B., but he keeps referring to it as Baby Face.

Ghiaccio: Ridley. Tried the Ice Climbers, felt they couldn't get on his level.

Pesci: Luigi, and wishes Prosciutto mained Mario to match, but Prosciutto refuses.

Sorbet and Gelato: Mii Gunner and Mii Brawler, respectively. They like to match.

Giá rượu vang Ý Veronica

Rượu Veronica là dòng vang đỏ ngọt đến từ vùng Puglia IGT, Ý. Được tạo ra từ giống nho Sangiovese - niềm tự hào của các loại vang đỏ vùng Tuscany, hương vị của rượu mang đến nhiều biểu hiện phong phú, dễ dàng kết hợp linh hoạt với nhiều món ăn.

HƯƠNG VỊ RƯỢU VANG NGỌT Ý VERONICA Veronica Semi Dolce sở hữu làn rượu màu đỏ hồng ngọc đậm. Hương thơm của anh đào đỏ với chút hương cà chua nướng thơm béo điểm xuyết khiến mùi vị trở nên hấp dẫn hơn cả. Sự quyến rũ của rượu được thể hiện mạnh mẽ với nốt hương chan chát của sung chín. Rượu phảng phất hương cà phê đậm đà, khiến toàn bộ giác quan người thưởng rượu được đánh thức, làm đầu óc trở nên tỉnh táo, dễ chịu.

Ghi chú của hạt tiêu rang, ớt và da thuộc bao bọc mùi hoa hồng khô thơm nồng và potpourri (túi/hũ đựng hoa khô hoặc lá khô - thường được sử dụng để làm thơm phòng). Những ghi chú tưởng chừng như đơn giản ấy lại hòa quyện đầy ăn ý, tạo nên mùi hương dịu nhẹ, ngát hương hoa cho không gian thưởng rượu. Thực khách có lẽ sẽ cảm tưởng rằng mình đang đi lạc vào một thế giới nước hoa và tinh dầu cao cấp.

Mùi thơm cay của lá oregano (thường được biết đến là lá kinh giới, có nguồn gốc từ Đức, được sử dụng để làm gia vị) với chút hương thơm từ thảo mộc, gỗ sồi trầm ấm làm cho cơ thể trở lại trạng thái cân bằng. Trên vòm miệng, rượu khá khô, sạch sẽ với thân thể đầy đặn, tannin và acid đều ở mức trung bình cao. Tất cả hòa quyện tạo nên một cấu trúc bền chặt, tấn công vị giác một cách mạnh mẽ. Sau cùng, rượu Veronica để lại dư vị dài của trái cây tươi và gia vị.

GIÁ RƯỢU VANG Ý VERONICA Đối với chai vang này, “giá rượu vang Ý Veronica” là cụm từ được nhiều người tìm kiếm nhất trong thời gian vừa qua. Hiện nay, mức giá cho một chai rượu Veronica 750ml trên thị trường rơi vào khoảng từ 160,000 đến 170,000 đồng/chai, tùy từng thời điểm và số lượng mua.

Vấn nạn hàng giả, hàng lậu, hàng kém chất lượng ở thị trường Việt Nam hiện nay rất khó kiểm soát. Một trong những mặt hàng được làm giả nhiều nhất là các mặt hàng thời trang, mỹ phẩm, và đặc biệt là rượu vang nhập khẩu. Việc tìm kiếm một cơ sở uy tín, chất lượng để tin tưởng và mua sắm rượu vang là điều cần thiết để vừa đỡ tốn tiền, vừa đảm bảo sức khỏe.

Rượu Tốt có thể tự tin khẳng định về chất lượng của các sản phẩm đang bày bán tại các chi nhánh của chúng tôi. Tất cả các loại rượu bia nhập khẩu đều đã trải qua sự kiểm định khắt khe của Rượu Tốt dựa trên kinh nghiệm lâu năm nên quý vị hoàn toàn có thể yên tâm lựa chọn rượu ở đây. Các phần quà thú vị cùng mức giá “cực yêu” đang chờ đón quý vị tại Rượu Tốt. Liên hệ hoặc ghé mua hàng trực tiếp ngay hôm nay thôi nào!

THƯỞNG THỨC RƯỢU VERONICA Giống với nhiều chai vang đỏ khác, dòng vang này ưa nhiệt độ phòng, dao động từ 16 đến 18 độ C. Quý vị có thể ngâm đá khoảng 10-15 phút, ướp lạnh trong tủ mát khoảng 30-45 phút để đạt nhiệt độ phù hợp. Rượu chỉ cần thở khoảng 30 phút để không khí tác động lên nước rượu, giúp hương thơm lan tỏa và giảm bớt tannin.

Đặc tính trái cây thơm ngon của rượu vang Veronica sẽ dễ dàng kết hợp với nhiều món. Vì là loại rượu đến từ Ý nên Veronica ghép nối được với hầu hết các món ăn của đất nước “hình chiếc ủng” này. Nhắc đến món Ý thì không thể không kể đến pizza, spaghetti, pasta, lasagna , risotto hoặc ragu (một loại sốt bò băm nổi tiếng trong ẩm thực Ý),... Nếu là một người yêu thích sự béo ngậy của phô mai, quý vị có thể thêm vài lát phô mai cứng, trưởng thành như Manchego, Comte, Cheddar,... vào quá trình thưởng thức để vị béo ngậy sẽ làm dịu đi tính chua chát của tannin, acid.

THÔNG TIN THÊM VỀ NHÀ RƯỢU CANTINE SGARZI LUIGI CỦA RƯỢU VANG Ý VERONICA Nhà máy rượu, hầm rượu với sức chứa 15 triệu lít và phòng thí nghiệm Cantine Sgarzi Luigi đều nằm ở vùng Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Ý, xung quanh là vườn nho rộng thênh thang 140 ha. Vào năm 1933, Cantine Sgarzi Luigi đươc thành lập khi một nhà máy rượu nhỏ được Luigi Sgarzi mua lại. Ông đã sản xuất và rao bán rượu trong thùng gỗ sồi cho các khách sạn trong khu vực Bologna bằng xe ngựa.

Di sản gần 100 năm tuổi này vẫn luôn giữ được sự trẻ trung trong phong cách rượu mà những giống nho mang lại. Sự cam kết mạnh mẽ trong việc bảo vệ môi trường và đặc trưng của thổ nhưỡng đã giúp rượu vang lưu giữ được hương vị cổ điển nhưng vẫn bắt kịp xu hướng của thời đại. Việc áp dụng công nghệ vào dây chuyền đóng chai, nhà kho và quá trình sản xuất đã giúp công ty đảm bảo sự linh hoạt và năng suất hàng năm nhưng vẫn ưu tiên chất lượng tuyệt vời của rượu. Dưới sự điều hành của Stefano Sgarzi, cháu trai của Luigi, công ty đã được xuất khẩu rượu ra nhiều nước trên thế giới và mở ra 3 văn phòng thương mại rượu vang lớn ở Trung Quốc, Mexico và Mỹ để tiếp thị và quảng bá thương hiệu của mình đến với bạn bè quốc tế.

This Nearly Crashed My Browser: Finding All 120+ Competitors

the current list

The Simpsons is known for it's utterly mind-boggling amount of episodes and characters, with its wiki having more than 5K entries in the character section. My job was to sift to through and pick out as many relevant characters as possible, while making some exclusions and exceptions. Here's how it went down:

The wiki's home page has a character tab with a dropdown with five category; Simpson Family, Krusty, At the SNPP, At Springfield Elementary, and Kids

Clicking on each tab will bring you to a page with all characters relevant to the category

-The Krusty tab is literally just Krusty, so I just found Channel 4 myself

In Simpson Family, I grabbed the core family, Snowball & SLH, Abe & Mona, Patty, Selma, and Ling

In Channel 4, I grabbed Krusty, Kent, Bumblebee Man, Sideshow Bob & Mel, Mr. Teeny, Itchy & Scratchy, and later I decided to expand it to celebrities, adding, Marvin Monroe, Troy McClure, Rainer Wolfcastle, Drederick Tatum, and just decided to stick Kang & Kodos here

In SNPP, I grabbed Mr. Burns, Smithers, Lenny & Carl, Blinky the Fish, Charlie, and the people's champion, "Just Stamp the Ticket" Man

In Springfield Elementary, I grabbed Skinner, Edna, Otto, Hoover, Largo, Willie, Chalmers, Krupt, and Doris

And in Kids, I grabbed Uter, Richard & Lewis, Database, Baby Gerald, Milhouse, Nelson, Wendell, Martin, Ralph, Rod & Todd, Sherri & Terri, Janey, and the Spuckler & Nahasapeemapetilon kids

I didn't find the bullies, Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney in Kids, so I made a throwaway category, "Townies". After these three and over the course of tracking other characters, I grabbed Barney, Sam & Larry, Hans Moleman, Snake, Bleeding Gums, Julio & Grady, Jebediah Springfield, Disco Stu, Squeaky Voiced Teen, Cletus & Brandine, and the City of Shelbyville.

Next, I decided to look for Senior characters, which eventually evolved into the aptly named "Olds" category. This was pretty broad, but here I grabbed Ned & Maude Flanders, Kirk & Luann Van Houten, Marge's Mother, Jasper, Mrs. Muntz, Old Jewish Man (which is his title, apparently), Ruth Powers, Mrs. Glick, Crazy Cat Lady, Sarah Wiggum, Agnes, Manjula, and Matt Groening.

Researching this category, characters such as Apu and Fat Tony came to mind, but were excluded since they do stuff. So then I made the final category, "Career", characters who are most defined by their career. This was the largest category, with me grabbing Apu, Reverend & Helen Lovejoy, Lionel Hutz, Moe, Dr Hibbert & Nick, Fat Tony, Legs & Louie, Johnny Tightlips, Frankie the Squealer, Judge Constance, The Salty Sea Captain & The Rich Texan, Mayor Quimby, Cookie Kwan, Blue-Haired Lawyer, Lindsey Naegle, Roger Meyers Jr, Gil, Comic Book Guy, Chief Wiggum, Officers Eddie & Lou, Herman, Italian Chef (not calling him f-ing Luigi Risotto), and Duffman.

Finally, the characters I forgot or couldn't originally fit, being Herbert, Allison, Rabbi Krustofsky, Artie Ziff, Shauna Chalmers, Kumiko Albertson, and Raphael the Wisecrack.

Exclusions and the Vaguest of Vague Rules

While constructing the list, at the start I avoided adding Allison, Herbert, and the Rabbi. In my mind, these were one-time guest stars, like Hank Scorpio and Frank Grimes, but I decided to include them as Allison became a Janey-like figure, Herbert got a follow-up episode in Season 3, and the Rabbi appeared on occasion with speaking roles. Characters I will never add would either be real-people, with the exception of Matt Groening, one-off guest stars, and set-dressing characters that don't impact main characters, such as Martin's parents, the other workers at the nuclear plant, and Sideshow Bob's wife and child.

Of course, I can bend the rules. If you think of a character that could be included, tell me in anyway you can and I'll decide on it or create a public poll. Why, just typing this up I thought of Flanders' parents, the Vegas wives, and Princess Kashmir, who could all be argued for or against!

Thanks for reading, and look forward to deciding polls and soon enough, a bracket! Asks always open!

[merriclo]

i love southern tp link as much as the next guy but with talon and ingo being mario and luigi references and tp link potentially being descended from talon and malon i. i wonder if hyrules equivalent to southern accents are actually just italian accents. like thats just what ppl associate with farmers/ranchers/etc in that world
