Hi! I know I haven't played Mario & Luigi: Brothership and I only watched one person play it, but that didn't stop me from loving the game 😔

But I noticed a scary detail in a scene in the game…

In a scene in the game, Mario and Luigi end up being "absorbed" by one of the plants, they enter a world and one of this worlds where they are in MK and everyone is celebrating:

When we move forward we see that there were Toads and Koopas together, but this left them confused: Why were the Toads and Koopas together? and in harmony?

Next we go Junior to this ceremony, he says "I'm ready to put the past behind us if you are, Mario and Luigi!", completing with "It's so good to see you and my dad getting along now, after all"

Right away, doubts arise in Junior's speech: What did he mean by that?

Advancing a little further, we see Bowser and Peach together (?), wait what?! Bowser and Peach are together in that place as if they were friends?!

Then peach starts saying:

After this dialogue, Mario and Luigi are confused, what was happening there? 🤨🤨

Then suddenly, Bowser said to the brothers:

Then the Reclusa appears in the sky looking at the moment and laughs saying:

Then he reveals the truth, Mario and Luigi had been "absorbed" by Reclusa's plants, and in the end he reveals something important…

With this whole scary scene, we remember that when someone is absorbed by these plants, the person lives in the world they dream of, so a conclusion is reached in that scene:

Mario and Luigi's dream is to live in a world where they live happily in MK, and that they would also be friends with Bowser, King Koopa and Peach would be friends, without the kidnappings, this is very sad that leads to a anguish… 😔😔

If you've read this far, thank you very much for listening to me, this is the first time I've made this type of post 3>

Bye!

On my first day in Germany I got to my hotel and I couldn't get the lights to turn on. And I was like "Eh, fuck it, I'll just take a shower in the dark." And then the shower wouldn't get hot. I waited and waited and it stayed ice cold.

So I go down to the front desk and I'm like "My lights won't turn on and my shower won't get hot" so they send this guy up with me. We get into the room and I flick the switch and nothing happens so I'm like "See?"

And he goes "You must put your card in the slot."

"I... what? I have to put my room card in the light switch?"

"Of course!"

Now I have been in many hotels in the US and never encountered this concept, but apparently it was something most of their guests already knew. So I'm looking like a fool at this point. I feel like an idiot. The dude is fully grinning at me. I put the card in the slot and voila, the light turns on.

Then he's like "Ok, let's see if the shower works. You know you must wait for the hot water?" and I just know he's thinking I'm an idiot who also can't use a shower. This stupid American can't wait for the hot water! She can't even use a light switch or a shower!

And I guess he was distracted by these thoughts of my stupidity, because this dude fully stepped into the shower. In his nice dress shirt and slacks. He just. Gets into the shower.

And turns it on.

Have you ever seen a playing field get leveled instantaneously

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

thinking about older bf!simon that takes great pride in being your built in pain relief.

“you right?”

delicate as always, gruff voice cutting through the peaceful lull as he stands right in the way of the television you were only really listening to.

“just a headache”

“you taken anything for it?”

you slowly open one eye as far as you can manage, confirming that the look on his face is endearing and he’s not purposefully asking stupid fucking questions.

he’s only man after all.

“i’ll give y’one if y’like?”

before you even have a chance to ask him what “one” might be in this scenario, he’s already nudging you up the couch to sit beside you.

he doesn’t give you the chance to ask any questions, really- not when he’s tucking your back into his side and slipping a large hand down your front.

long fingers slide your shorts to the side and immediately get to work, other hand holding your thighs open (more for his line of sight than anything).

“simon- you don’t have-”

“none a’that, rest y’head and i’ll take care a’ya”

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

when your standards are too high

a/n — gender neutral reader, non-established relationship (sylus offers you a deal)

imagine confessing to Sylus you’ve never experienced true love because you think your standards are too high. he laughs his pompous-sounding laugh and says, “Then, let’s make a deal. I’ll show you that your supposed standards are mere child’s play.”

and he’s absolutely the dreamiest boyfriend you could ever have. his focus is all on you, joins you on lunch dates no matter where, follows you to any and every event no matter how mundane, joins your demands no matter how stupid it sounds (“I wanna try this chili crisp ice cream…” “Curious? Share it with me then.” then carries you home when your stomach is dying 15 mins later), spoils you rotten, uplifts your self-esteem, caresses your skin like it's the finest porcelain, kisses you slow and deep like time doesn’t exist, showers you with love as pure as one between kindred spirits.

and at the end of your supposed deal, he smirks at you (fondly) and reminds you again, “Don’t ever settle for less than what I gave you, sweetie.”
