#a main criteria for Bowuigi fics for me is just how funny is the concept

[eggcats]

A really funny Bowuigi concept would be Mario Movie when Luigi gets kidnapped he just decides to try to Shrek his way out of it aka Donkey and Dragon and flirts with Bowser to his face.

Except. Bowser just agrees with everything he says because he already knows how hot and awesome he is. So Bowser doesn't even realize. It just goes over his head.

And then Luigi stops after Bowser mentions marrying a princess, because he's neither a woman nor royalty and just accepts he can't genre twist this horror show he's found himself in. He tried. He's apparently not the Donkey to this dragon.

And then, like, WAY later, when everything is calmed down, they've defeated Bowser, Bowser has accepted that he can't take over the world and marry Princess Peach and does the peace treaty nonsense.

Bowser is talking with Luigi because Peach wants nothing to do with him, and he'll be DAMNED if he talks to Mario or a TOAD. And their unfortunate first meeting comes up, and Luigi casually mentions that his first instinct upon being captured was to try to flirt his way out of it because "I decided to try to see if I could switch that horror movie to a romance, haha."

Bowser just goes "YOU DID WHAT????"

Luigi is just like "Ooof was it that bad that you didn't even notice? Yikes, I knew I was rusty but I didn't think it was THAT bad, I just assumed it was because you were engaged to a princess so you ignored it."

Bowser, even louder this time "YOU WERE DOING WHAT????"

You can decide what Bowser does next, but it'd be really funny if he goes back to his instinctual "kidnap love interests" and just yoinks Luigi back to his castle. And when he arrives, Kamek is just like, "What do you have there?" And Bowser just holds up Luigi and yells at the top of his lungs "HE TOLD ME HE WAS FLIRTING WITH ME WHEN WE CAPTURED HIM I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO" and Lugi just casually waves a hand like "Hi? I don't know what happened."
