#in my hcs both bros have this thing that homemade gifts have priority over store-bought

i wanna be silly and expand on this for no reason as i wrangle my brain for a doodle idea (including my tags for context)

ok so. i looked up the mariowiki and there's?? two colored designs for the superball flower + its in-game sprite and im like. bro. bro. what if theyre variants? like, the same way we have the official design for the fire flower but the smw fire flower looks very different from that one, which never returned outside of smw-related stuff. it makes me think of regional variants and THAT MAKES ME FERAL THAT'S MY KINDA STUFF

ended up doodling this for reference for myself - forgive my handwriting - bUT LIKE. THIS.

and then i think that luigi wouldnt know which would be better, which variant does daisy like the most so he just grows all of them just to be sure. the mental image of him searching around for books about this species and how to grow them in a climate outside of sarasaland. idk, maybe he even builds a greenhouse (mario doesn't even question why, he just goes along with it. all he knows is that luigi wants to grow some flowers and they need a specific climate and all that and he's like "oh okay then") (luigi cant tell him his plans bc mario is terrible at keeping secrets when it comes to luigi's love life, he's too enthusiastic about helping him which can be bothersome if there's a surprise involved) and grows them carefully.

and considering that superball flowers arent popular at all + the difficulty of growing them, it's hard to find them in flower shops outside of sarasaland. so when luigi presents a bouquet of homegrown superball flowers, she's like "where did you get them??? oh my stars???" because she would know if luigi was at sarasaland (SHE WOULD DROP EVERYTHING TO MEET UP WITH HIM THE NANOSECOND SHE HEARD THAT HE WAS THERE, even if she would play it cool and "no no i was walking around and saw you, so i thought i'd say hi :D") so...... yeah Where? How? Hello???

and him telling her that no he grew them at home, he didnt know which she liked most so he brought every variant he knew, sorry if it's messy or if theyre not as pretty as local ones, he wanted to do something special...! MY MAN. SHE'S SHORT-CIRCUITING IN FRONT OF YOU. EJFHKDJFK

i post one (1) little luiasy doodle and suddenly im like "WAIT i've seen a lot of people drawing mario giving fire flowers to peach. what if luigi gave superball flowers to daisy???" djfbjfngk
