#everyone is supportive but not of Bowser

[polaroid-steam-room]

My favorite thing about Bowuigi media is that nobody is inherently homophobic

I swear it always goes something like this:

Mario Cast- Oh! You like men? Wonderful! It doesn’t phase us at all! We support you :)

Luigi- Y-yeah! So, then you guys should know that I’m dating Bowser and-

Cast- what.

[vicartless-bowuigi-space-au]

“What are you scared of?”

Luigi felt the Star's unease fill his every being—a child shaking in a dark alley, crowding against a corner with no escape. And with a voice that stole Luigi's breath, the Star responded.

“Her.”

I'll Never Let You Go - Art Challenge

Hello there! I just wanted to share a little art challenge I had in mind for this story that I'm sharing. It is a long fanfiction that follows the events of Super Mario Galaxy if you're interested in reading 🌟

If you'd like to participate as the story unfolds, I have a little challenge for you:

O~o~O

Take any character/group that appears in the story (or game), and draw them looking up at the comet like Mario is in the cover!

O~o~O

The characters who physically appear in the story so far don't deviate from Canon. And I don't have a preference for who you draw, even if you want to draw your favorite boss, the most minor of enemies, or even Mario again! Here is a list of some of the major characters that appear just to give some ideas:

Mario, Luma (or Lumas), Princess Rosalina, the Toad Brigade, Luigi, Bowser Jr., King Bowser, and Princess Peach!

One final thing; this project has a hard deadline. If you would like to participate, please share it here on Tumblr, tag me and the project with #INLYG Art Challenge, and have it shared before August 8th! That's 08/08/2024 ✨️

Thank you!!

Shadows-Epilogue

Here’s the last chapter, its been a fun ride!

[peaches2217]

If you’re okay with it, what are your sexuality headcanons for the Mario cast?

Of course! I went ahead and included gender identity headcanons as well, if that's alright.

Presenting: Your Fave is Not Cishet by peaches2217.

[agent217]

Yesterday was my monthly furry group meet and afterwards one of the guys said he'd go to the Mario movie with me. We walked all the way to the cinema but then he got stomach cramps and said he'd rather go home. So he left and I was going to leave too but then I figured, what the hell, I really wanna see it again and it won't be released online for ages. The german dub annoys me but there's no options yet.

So I went and saw it by myself. It was nice.

Then on my way home this man got my number from a mutual friend and he texts me that he found an english screening of the movie! Today! I'd complained to him about hating that they only show it in German bc I really want the original voices. And he went out of his way to find one for me.

And he asked me to come see it with him today. Which I absolutely will holy shit. But now I definitely can't tell him I went by myself because he clearly feels bad about ditching me lmfao

[cosmicladyy]

Bowser requests you say? Ha who would do that........

Can I please have a bowser x reader who is the opposite of him? He's big, loud, and scary while she's small(human size), quiet, and shy?

bowser x shy!gn!reader headcanons

warning: none

a/n: Thank you for 100+ followers !! I'm glad so many people enjoy my writing, I appreciate all the support <33

He has to be big and loud, his subjects won't take him seriously otherwise

quite literally big, large, and in charge

bowser is the type to not allow any type of disrespect fly

made a joke he doesn't like? dungeon

decided to question his authority? dungeon

he rules his kingdom with an iron fist

has an attitude that matches his tough exterior

when he's with you? it's like he's turned into jello

all his walls immediately come down when he sees you

whenever he speaks to you, he talks in the most gentle tones and never raises his voice at you

he barely uses any strength when he's handling you

since you're really soft-spoken, he'd yell at everyone and everything around him shut up so he can give you his undivided attention

kamek has witnessed his king ripping a Koopa a new one and not even two seconds later he's cooing something at you

he's always aware of his surroundings, doesn't wanna risk accidentally squashing you

date nights are obviously a must for him

if you don't feel like being around other people, he has a feast made for just you and him in the dining room

every dish being either a favorite of yours or something new he knows you'll enjoy

whenever you've had an especially trying day, he'll sit you next to him and play you various songs on his piano

even offers to teach you

limits the number of guards that usually surround him

says he's a king and can defend himself

in reality, he wants you to be as comfortable as possible in your home

whenever you'd be in a conversation with someone, he's always hovering either behind or around you

the literal definition of the 'they asked for no pickles' meme

he'd burn anyone who dares even look at you wrong to a crisp

gets major cuteness aggression

you can be doing nothing, just existing, and he'll have this urge to just squish your cheeks and cradle you in his massive arms

also he uses his height to his advantage and raises whatever you might be using over your head to be annoying

will only give it back in exchange for kisses

"Um, your heinousness?" a nervous kamek stands before the fire breather, who's seated on his throne.

He flinches under the fiery glare that's sent In his direction, "can't you see I'm trying to have a conversation?"

You send an apologetic look from your place on Bowser's lap, having just been telling him about your day, as per his request. You feel him shift and sit up straighter as he tightens the hold he has around your middle.

"I-It's just that.. well.."

"Spit it out already!" his temper simmers just as quickly as it spiked when he receives a smack to the shoulder, not really hurting him, but it sends the message.

"Nevermind!" The magikoopa considers whatever it was a lost cause and poofs himself out of the room with a cloud of pink smoke. "You didn't have to yell at him. Whatever I was talking about isn't that interesting."

A clawed finger finds its way under your chin and carefully turns your head up towards him, connecting his intense gaze with your own. "As if. Now, you were saying?"

[anthurak]

So I watched the new Death Battle earlier today, and speaking as someone only BARELY familiar with/interested/invested in either Sonic OR Mario, I actually found myself vibing more with Team Eggman over Team Bowser and was even rooting more for them by the end for some reasons I find rather interesting.

Mostly because I feel like Team Eggman had a more interesting and varied team composition and dynamic throughout the fight. Namely in that they get more shared and balanced focus and attention.

You see, for basically the entire fight, Bowser is very much the center of attention for his team. He’s the lynchpin, the keystone. He’s both the leader AND by far the heaviest hitter of his team, with everyone else mostly just working to support him. And because of that he gets most of the cool moments of his side.

Meanwhile, Team Eggman is nowhere near as focused on one guy. Eggman is the leader, yet Metal Sonic is the heaviest hitter, and even he isn’t so much so compared to Sage, Nemesis and Eggman himself. And because of that, I feel like they all get a broader spread of attention and cool moments in the fight.

Like some might say that Bowser always fighting front and center of his army might make him the ‘better’ or ‘more-noble’ leader/dad compared to Eggman spending more of the fighting hanging back and having his decoys, minions and kids do much of the heavy lifting, but personally I feel like that makes Team Eggman more interesting?

Like I think it’s pretty interesting that while Eggman is the leader, he isn’t the heaviest hitter of his team. He may not even be the real keystone of his team (more on that later…). And again, this leads to broader spread of attention and cool moments. Like how the fight starts with Eggman fighting Bowser through a decoy, and through the rest of the fight, Bowser is having to fight Infinite, Metal Sonic and even Sage just as much if not moreso than Eggman directly.

It feels like Team Bowser very much a case of ‘the Main Character does everything’, while Team Eggman is very much a subversion of that trope. Some might say Eggman is making his kids do most of the work, well I say he’s giving them time to shine. Like how the climax of the fight very much feels more like a 3v1 battle of Eggman, Metal Sonic and Shade versus Bowser, rather than a 1v1 or 3v3.

Again, I feel like that gives Team Eggman the more interesting dynamic throughout the fight. I mean remember what I said about Eggman not necessarily being the real keystone of his team? Well I imagine (coming from someone with admittedly not much familiarity with the source material) that Team Eggman COULD very much continue the fight without him if necessary, whereas the same very much could NOT be said for Team Bowser.

Like imagine an alternate narrative of the fight where Bowser Jr gets killed in the crossfire, which sends Bowser flying into the expected rage and killing Eggman to avenge his son…

…only for Sage, Metal and Infinite to take down Bowser to avenge their father. Which technically would still be a posthumous win for Eggman.

Obviously I’m not saying that’s how the fight should have gone, I’m not nearly that petty/headcanon fixated. I just think it’s a fun idea to imagine.

Particularly as I feel like ‘cooperative revenge’ is a quite underused trope XD

Also, given the episodes underlying theme of parents and children, I think there is something interesting to be said of how Bowser's kids are very much stuck within the shadow of their father, while Eggman's children can, and in some respects arguably have, surpassed their father.

[batneko]

it occurred to me that bowuigi would make for really good sentinel-and-guide AUs

(for those who don't know, The Sentinel was a 90's show about a guy with heightened senses and protective instincts, which make him a natural defender of humanity but can also be overwhelming. His nerdy partner who provided most of the exposition was eventually revealed to be a "guide" who has the power to soothe and support him. It had an extremely dedicated fandom and robust shipping community, which led to Sentinel AUs being super popular until A/B/O AUs eventually eclipsed them.

The basics are: Character A has super-senses and tends to be protective and territorial, but they have panic attacks/migraines/whatever because of their powers. Character B is a calming presence and often feels compelled to help Character A despite any personal differences they might have. It's important to note that the connection between sentinels and guides is not inherently sexual, though there's a lot of touching involved so if there's any attraction at all between the characters it can get awkward. Usually in the AU sentinel and guide powers are Known Abilities with support systems and sometimes even a matchmaking service in place, despite it being rare and unknown in the show.)

So for the obvious version we've got Sentinel Bowser and Guide Luigi. Bowser is an extremely powerful sentinel which means very few people can challenge him, but his instincts have driven him to conquer more and more territory over the years and he's starting to feel stretched thin. He's had guide partners before but his personality problems drive them away before too long, so he keeps a few in rotation and tries not to get attached.

He "fell in love" with Peach because her guide abilities are so strong he feels comfortable around her without either of them even trying. And since he only tends to see Luigi when Peach is also there (either kidnapped or at a group event) he doesn't notice that Luigi is a guide at all for a long time.

Until one day he has an attack in public, and since he's likely to lash out in that condition everyone keeps their distance - except Luigi. Who rushes to his side and holds his hand and rubs his brow until Bowser is able to come back to himself.

Bowser is stunned that someone he thought of as an enemy would help him so easily, as if it's the obvious thing to do. But he's also embarrassed that Mario's brother of all people had to take care of him in such a vulnerable position. He gets it into his head that the only way to save face here is if he acts like it's not embarrassing at all and that now he wants Luigi to be his full time guide partner.

This is definitely going to go great!

And then the reverse, Sentinel Luigi and Guide Bowser. Mario and Luigi are both sentinels, but they're so used to relying on and covering for each other that neither of them has ever needed a guide... Or at least they've convinced themselves they don't need one, until they're both falling at Princess Peach's feet as all the tension they've built up over the years drains away all at once.

Pretty soon it becomes clear that Peach and Mario have a connection that Peach and Luigi don't, and Luigi makes excuses to leave the two of them alone as often as he can. Which leaves him both without a guide and without his partner, putting up with all the stress and sensory stimulation on his own. He handled it before, right? He can handle it now.

Then he (literally) runs into Bowser and, just like with Peach, collapses to his knees at the sudden rush of relief. Bowser is like "not that I don't enjoy this kind of thing, but what the hell?" before he senses Luigi's distress and realizes he's a sentinel. It makes sense given how strong the brothers are, but he'd never really thought about how that kind of thing works for humans.

And, though he tells himself he shouldn't care if Luigi is struggling or not, he's not entirely heartless. Bowser scoops Luigi off the floor and lets him spend the rest of the day with him, eventually saying he's doing it because it'll be funny to have Luigi owe him a favor.

Luigi says okay. Bowser is baffled by how quickly he agreed. Either he was really really suffering, or he's so nice of a guy that he doesn't even fathom how easily Bowser can take advantage of him.

Well, it's not like it costs Bowser anything to keep him around. And it does actually feel good to be a guide instead of a king for once. Bowser decides to keep racking up "favors" until he thinks of the best way to use them, probably against Mario, or maybe to get into the Mushroom Kingdom.

Sure, once he gets that payoff Luigi will probably never forgive him and never want to see him again, but it'll be worth it... right?

The Disney villain book i ordered 3 weeks ago finally came and the sleeve was oily and chafed but at least I get the fabled single paragraph of King Candy insight

this is truly a game changer

KING CANDY - WRECK-IT RALPH.

RELEASE DATE: November 2, 2012.

DIRECTOR: Rich Moore.

VOICE TALENT: Alan Tudyk.

ANIMATOR: Zach Parrish.

"Everyone should have known with a pass code like UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START that this sugary-sweet king was not on the up-and-up. Who in the gaming world doesn't know that cheat code?! King Candy is the ruler of Sugar Rush, a video game made of everything sweet to eat, or as a wise Wreck- It Ralph sees it, a "candy-coated heart of darkness.' " But Sugar Rush was not always such a dark place; it was once a happy kingdom where Princess Vanellope von Schweetz ruled until an evil racer from a game called Turbo Time messed with her code and took her game for his own. The biggest shock? King Candy and that villainous racer known as Turbo are one and the same. Alan Tudyk, the voice of King Candy, said he had imagined King Candy to be a much bigger character, size-wise, and found it really funny that he was actually such a small man."

“Wreck-It Ralph is a "bad guy" who has been forced to spend every day for the last thirty years trying to destroy the apartment building that took his home away and to thwart Fix-It Felix from fixing everything Ralph wrecks. After "wrecking" the thirtieth anniversary celebration of his game, Ralph decides to go on a quest to earn a medal and prove to everyone, including himself, that he can be a good guy and do good things. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, director Rich Moore said that the idea for Wreck-It Ralph came when he was asked by Walt Disney Animation Studios to revamp an idea they had been working on for a while: a movie that takes place in a video game. "Video game characters do the same job every day," said Moore. "I don't know how you could tell a story about that, and then it kind of hits me. ... What if the main character did not like his job? If you had a character who is actually wondering: Is this all there is to life?" "

Not really headcanon, just thoughts.

A Mario movie ai where Luigi takes Bowser to his family and tells them “I got a boyfriend” just general fluff

Imagine bringing a giant turtle home to your parent (the same turtle that destroy your hometown in front of your family’s eyes just a while ago) and tell them that he’s your boyfriend lol.

Bowser punctured a few holes on their ceiling by accident and Luigi just cover his face in embarrassment.

His mamma is very supportive, and give everyone at the dinner table the stink eyes if they dare to voice a complaint, while his uncle try to clear the air by joking around like “Mario brought back home a princess, so Luigi just HAVE to top that huh? Haha. Hahaha.” And the whole thing get even more awkward.

Luigi was terrified of his dad not approving, but his dad just look at bowser up and down and ask “is his salary good?”. Luigi told his dad that Bowser’s a king, and his dad just nodded with a grin on his face and stay silent for the whole dinner.

Thank you for your ask, I hope you have a good rest of your day :D

[jaybleu25]

After I made a Mario headcanon (this post), I decided to make a Luigi headcanon!! This one's a bit more specific though and it's also something I vaguely mentioned previously in stories before, but I wanted to go a bit more in depth. So here it is!!

--------

Luigi HC: Luigi has G.A.D. (Generalized Anxiety Disorder).

It's something I headcanoned for a while actually, and it all started from me finding a random Treesicle video talking about this sort of thing that was posted 7 years ago. Ironically, this was the video that even taught me about GAD in the first place, and if I never saw it, I don't think I ever would've known that I myself actually have it (I didn't just get this headcanon because I wanted to put a bit of myself into Luigi's character fyi, but it did help me learn about myself and also helped me to get actually diagnosed, so that's something)

The video I linked talks about this more, but essentially, Luigi has been dealing with anxiety ever since he was born (even if he was unaware of it). Whenever he started crying, it just wouldn't stop until Luigi either 1, got physically moved away from what was upsetting him (for example in Partners in Time where Baby Luigi started crying and Baby Mario literally couldn't make him stop no matter what he did, so he just pushed him out of the room), or 2, Luigi got a comforting hug from his big brother, who would reassure him that things are okay (I don't even need to list examples, y'all have seen the amount of times this man is crying in Mario's arms)

Here's a few symptoms/examples:

Perceiving situations and events as threatening, even when they aren't

An example at the top of my mind is the beginning of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, where Luigi's having to go into a room inside Peach's Castle to look for something, with a Toad being there with him to help look. Luigi looks terrified the entire time, and it probably wasn't helping that it was dark when entering the room. But the Toad didn't seem scared at all. It was just Luigi. And nothing was even happening plot wise yet; they were literally just walking into a dark room.

2. Difficulty handling uncertainty / Indecisiveness and fear of making the wrong decision

We've seen Luigi go on adventures on his own before, but a big majority of them have him terrified. Think Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Mario gets sick, so Luigi has to go out on his own to try and find the cure. But as soon as this man walks out of the building, he can't jump, run, nothing. He's absolutely terrified. He doesn't think he can go on this big, "dangerous" journey to get a cure. He literally has to go to a hypnotist of some sort to make himself believe that he's Mario to be able to do this. He feels as though he's not strong enough to do this himself, and that he can't do anything if Mario's not there. Granted, this has gotten better in more recent games, but Luigi still is nervous whenever having to do stuff on his own. I think Brothership is him slowly getting used to doing things himself, which is a good step in the right direction. And it helps that he has Mario supporting him the entire time, too.

3. Difficulty concentrating, or the feeling that your mind "goes blank" / Fatigue

This is mainly in the Mario & Luigi games (especially Brothership for some reason), but whenever there's an important conversation going on, Luigi always somehow manages to fall asleep. For example, in Bowser's Inside Story where he's asleep during an important meeting, or in Brothership where he's asleep standing up while everyone is trying to decide who should be "kidnapped" in order to find out the Extension Corps' plans. For people with GAD, and also speaking from experience, you tend to often feel so much anxiety that it tires you out physically. A lot. And I think that's what Luigi's dealing with in this situations; he's just almost always felt stressed or scared (which who can blame him, the kingdom's been dealing with some sort of situation for years) that it tires him out so much that he can't help but fall asleep because his body is trying to get that energy back.

4. Nervousness or being easily startled / Trembling or feeling twitchy

This man jumps at everything. Even at things that aren't even supposed to be "scary". At the beginning of Luigi's Mansion 3, when walking around his room, whenever Luigi opens a drawer and something pops out, it always makes him jump. This even happens before the hotel gets all spooky. And in a big majority of the Luigi's Mansion games, if Luigi stands still, he's shaking (which, granted, this is a terrifying situation, but still). This happens in other games as well, such as Paper Jam as mentioned earlier.

5. Persistent worrying or anxiety about a number of areas that are out of proportion to the impact of the events / Worrying about catastrophic events

At the beginning of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Luigi has a nightmare about pretty much everything going to shambles, with the blimp falling and crashing as well as Antasma attacking everyone (also, little thing I want to mention: It's Luigi's dream, but who's the one fighting Antasma? Mario. This adds to point 2). But then when Luigi wakes up, we see that the blimp is perfectly fine, and it didn't crash. Everyone is safe and sound. But even after the nightmare ends, Luigi is still terrified, as if he still thinks that the nightmare is still happening. He panics to the point where he accidentally trips off the blimp and ends up knocking himself unconscious from hitting his head on the ground. (Also, I don't care what anyone says; I feel like Mario would've definitely stayed by Luigi's side until he woke up)

--------------------------------------

Again, this is just a little headcanon of mine (I say little as if I didn't just write several paragraphs qwq). I'm interested to see what you all think :D

[deegeemin]

I didn't think the t-shirt EGGMAN put on SAGE was made by him on purpose? I wonder, I never thought that Eggman would be given such an aspect.　　 Does he ever match bowser's son bowser jr with his own daughter?　　　

My intention here was that Sage actually made the shirts for herself and her big bro Metal to support their father! I shoulda drawn her with like a marker to make it more obvious. Sorry for the confusion everyone haha

Actually, while we're talking about this drawing, let me talk about some details too since I've been asked before! One of the screens is indeed a reference to the idw comics, the Eggperial tower and the faceship!

These two screens aren't really references but just cool ideas I had in mind! These mysterious white pillars and rocks spread throughout the game connect back to it as well! It's just supposed to be cool set dressing for now but I'd definitely love to expand and elaborate on it for something given the chance! : )

[loud-kid2]

@silly-inky I did send this in as an ask but I'm way to excited for this AU and have to many ideas for it so I can't be patient about this anymore

The idea behind this AU is that the characters are folklore creatures/mythological monsters from around the world.

Bowser and the Koopas are based off of an indigenous myth from my country, the turtle island myth. Bowser is quite literally the island the dark kingdom sits on, he's floating in the middle of a lava lake. The regular Koopas are only big enough to support small ecosystems on their backs and Junior will grow up to be as big as his dad. Since Bowser quite literally is carrying an entire kingdom on his back he can't do anything, Peach getting kidnapped is just Junior, the Koppalings and Kamek's doing. Bowser only shows his face when things get really bad.

Peach and the Toads are mushroom dryads (from Greek myth), and the mushroom kingdom isn't exactly a kingdom it's more of a magical forest overseen by Peach, it's also the place where the mushroom and flower power-ups are grown, the power-ups like the cat bell and penguin suit are produced elsewhere.

Daisy is a flower nymph (again greek mythology)

Alexander, Henry, King and Cecilia are the four knights of the apocalypse (Christian stuff), Alex is famine, Henry is plague, King is war and Cecilia is death. They aren't allowed to gather for fear of the apocalypse so they are kept as far apart as possible. Sunny is technically also a knight of the apocalypse as he represents conquest (interchangeable with plague) so when he pops up he's gonna be kept away from the triplets and Cecilia.

Mario and Luigi did come to the Mushroom Kingdom as normal humans but after they saved Peach Kamek cursed them to become Selkies (celtic folklore), they didn't know at first so when they stayed the night they didn't expect to wake up as Mediterranean monk seals. They quickly figured out how to change between human and seal forms, which is just how they did it in Song of the Sea aka them disappearing behind something then showing up on the other side in the other form (GIF for example)

Sibling gave me the really fun idea of the bros getting seal behaviors post becoming a selkie so I looked up Mediterranean monk seal behaviors. The bros would become a lot more shy and would value privacy a lot more, to help with this Peach would've given them free reign over the large lake in the middle of the Mushroom Kingdom and would have the Toads try to avoid it as much as possible. Mediterranean monk seals are 7 feet tall so I had the idea that their seal coats are massive compared to the bros and are often used as blankets when Mario and Luigi are in human form. As for clothes they still have the iconic outfits but those are really only used when Peach needs rescuing and when that's not happening they are wearing swim trunks and are wrapped in their seal coats, when rescuing Peach their coats are tied around their waists.

Was also thinking that Mario and Luigi would try to go back to Brooklyn and live normally but it would not go well at all. They'd come back and hide their seal coats somewhere and then try to go about life normally but everyone would instantly know that something is wrong with them. For starters their parents would be worried because their sons are suddenly much more reserved and prefer to stay in their room, and they'd often find Mario and Luigi looking longingly at videos of the ocean and other bodies of water. And my sibling had this idea and I liked it a lot, it's the middle of the night and a random family member walks into the kitchen for a cup of water and is finishing said drink when the bros stumble into the kitchen for a midnight snack and don't notice this random family member. Mario opens the fridge and grabs two raw fish and the bros start eating the fish before wandering back to bed still not noticing the family member, leaving this poor person concerned and confused. Then the next night a family member goes to the bathroom late at night only to find two big ass seals laying in the bathtub which would be full of water. Luigi and Mario would notice obviously and Luigi would end up falling out of the tub and going back to human form while Mario would just stay in the tub and just close his eyes and pray the issue goes away. Luigi would promise to explain the next day by taking them somewhere to have a friend (Peach) help explain. So long story short a Mario family trip to the Mushroom Kingdom that does explain that the bros are no longer human and do need to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom

Edit: I FORGOT THE PHOTO OF THE SEAL

Edit 2: @peaches2217 I'm gonna start tagging you in these posts too if you don't mind ofc

[fanfics-and-bullshit]

I could probably find it, but I read a fic once where most of the Koopalings were queer and Bowser was the embodiment of “a little confused but he has the spirit” and very supportive. When he starts crushing on Luigi he’s like “How can this be?” and Wendy’s like, “Maybe you’re bi?” and Bowser’s like “What’s that?” and everyone quietly looks over at Roy and Roy says “Sup.” and Bowser said “Oh like both.” 

Then he asked Luigi on a date in front of Mario
