#cuz it'd be rude of me to bring negativity into a ship tag

[ananinidraws]

Everyone is talking about and posting bowuigi, a ship that I never really understood how I can combine them, but like Bowsario, it seems like I understand, like they are two enemies that fight for years and can have that potential of enemies to friends to lovers (if any fans of bowuigi read this, sorry I didn't mean to offend)

I'd like to start this post with the same heads up as anon, my apologies to bowigi fans, this is in no way targeted and just my opinions and views on these ships, you guys have fun with your ship ok?

With that out of the way, incoming rant

OH MY GOD ANON SAME. I do not get Bowigi at all, never did. Cuz to me, Weegee and Bowser do not have good chemistry. Now granted, i don't really go on that side of the fandom, so i do not know what the large consensus of their dynamic is like, but to me Luigi is a person who needs stability and a partner who uplifts him. It's why i like Luiasy and especially Luisley, cuz Daisy and Peasley praise him constantly and treat him like he's the most amazing thing in the world. I don't think Bowser would be a good match in that sense, man's really prideful and i don’t really see him being into romantic stuff like that (of mention, however, that he does these things towards Peach, i will not deny that. but when he does that to her it doesn’t feel as genuine, does that make sense? like he’s just shallowly trying to get her attention because he wants something in return, that being her affection but also her kingdom). Not to mention, just in general, i feel like Luigi’s constant emotional stage would be anxiety in that ship, and Bowser would get bored of it really quickly.

The biggest reason why i’m into Bowsario is because Mario matches Bowser’s fiery spirit so well. Bowser has a huge crush on Peach, but i do think that it doesn’t really go beyond that. And i find the prospect of the hatred slowly shifting into love to be SO interesting. Like he starts looking forward to Mario reaching their final battle at his castle. Without Mario, he has no purpose. And same with Mario, without Bowser his life would be so much more boring. Obviously he faces off against other foes, and he has fun on his adventures, he always has, but his boss battles against foes that are not Bowser have a different feeling. They’re not as fun, against Bowser he doesn’t fight with urgency, he fights for the love of fighting. It’s their little routine by now, their own dance, and it’s one both continue to repeat. Honestly one that they could just do, without needing to kidnap Peach and put the citizens in danger, but how would either just. Explain that? Deeply rooted and denied feelings that get confused for hatred, you know it~

This is also why Mario continues to invite Bowser to their sport and kart activities. Cuz it’s not as fun without that element of genuine competition the two have going on. Their dynamic is just so natural at this point for them, and it’s undeniably mutual. So when either of them has that “oh” moment it just throws everything for a loop and makes it all so much more interesting >:3

And when they do actually work through their feelings (which let’s be honest, it’s gonna take a LOOOOOONG time for either to even realize they’re there) their dynamic remains the same, but now they also sometimes sneak in make out sessions in their battles /j

Anyways, sorry this reply got so long anon, but. Unfortunately you and me are Bowsario fans that live in a Bowigi world because of that one scene in the Mario movie 😔 Despite the fact that, ya know, Bowsario has so much more content in game that everyone just ignores 737
