#mario the man you are

[pinkandgoldensoul]

emotional rollercoaster at 5 a.m. watching the race > getting study done before 9 a.m. > 2.2k words of the new fic written in a couple of hours > some more reading for uni (actually enjoyable) > coming back to tumblr to see Max and Penelope being the cutest thing ever, incredible f1 fanarts and Mario Renzi's breathtaking shots = i need a new brain a new heart to bear life from now on 'cause mine are washed out P.S: the fic is past 11.k words! Happy that I've got so much writing done today in the last few days! Only problem is I've written until the climax of the story, which is still an unfinished scene, and there's a lot to cover yet. My gosh. It'll never end. It's been three months. So many things happened... Anyway, I don't want to get your hopes up, I don't know how long it'll take. Just for info, the fic is a pierre gasly x reader + two other characters heavily involved... and the trope isn't another friends to lovers! Out of my comfort zone! Thanks to @gaslysainz for the request! ♥

I really hope Nintendo keeps leaning into the fact that Luigi is a bit of a bookworm. I've got a collection to expand.

Peach "You just don't know when to quit!"

Mario "Huh, I never thought of that as a good thing."

Peach "It's a GREAT thing!"♡

It's such a short moment, but I'll always love this scene in the movie❤️🩷 GRRRAHHHH

Name: Gobblick

Debut: Mario & Luigi: Brothership

The embargo on Brothership enemies that-I'm-not-sure-if-we-actually-had-or-not is OVER! Which MOD TWEETER is happy about, because she finally gets to talk about her favorite creature from the whole game: GOBBLICK!

From the success of fictional pitcher plants like Victreebel and...er...Victreebel, it's no secret that they've captured the hearts of millions worldwide! And yet, finding a decent video game pitcher plant in this day and age is hard. And that's sad! Especially since Wet-Dry World has arbitrarily decided my rent should be paid for in articles about video game pitcher plants!

Gobblick is SUCH a good pitcher plant design though, definitely worth the wait!! Look at that gut! Those spots! That big, long licker! The ridges on its leaf and lower jaw, seamlessly combining pitcher plant and bear trap aesthetics!

But, of course, the BIG show-stopper: EYES IN A VOID, BABY!!!! I love it!! It works PERFECT with the pitcher plant design! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they added them to REAL pitcher plants in a future update! They even remind me of that one talking pot in Winnie-the-Pooh that stuck onto my mind since I watched it as a child!

Since they're on the INSIDE of what is definitively its mouth, though, that raises the question...are these Gobblick's eyes at all? What if they're the eyes of something else? But...what would that something else be? A spider? A Lickitung? Perhaps it's the eyes of a treeshrew, and it's attacking out of embarrassment of us catching it using the bathroom? I'm sorry, hypothetical treeshrew! But you probably shouldn't stay in there, if that's the case, even if you're shy!

Or, most likely, these ARE the eyes of the noble Gobblick, and it uses them to watch its food go down! When you're a pitcher plant, is there honestly anything better to do?

Yes! And that thing is: attacking plumbers! Gobblick is such a fan of battling Mario & Luigi that he has not one, but TWO battles against them! That may not seem like a lot, but that's more than most Mario bosses in most single mainline games!

"Well, that's fine and all, but I bet none of its attacks include the coveted Root Attack," you might scoff. And you'd be wrong! Although real pitcher plant roots are, frankly, not really something to write home about, the root arms of Gobblick are able to dig through ground as they approach the brothers, in a way similar to Whispy Woods! Kirby's Dream Land 2 fans rejoice!

But, this isn't even Gobblick's only form! In fact, the first time I saw and fell in love with Gobblick was in its SECONDARY form! Warning, however, that this form is built off of integral spoilers for the game, so if you click below, do so wisely...!

Name: Glohm Gobblick

Debut: Mario & Luigi: Brothership

WOW! If you loved Gobblick already, then I hope Glohm Gobblick was worth the wait–it certainly was, for me!

Wine-red is just a perfect yet underrated color, especially for pitcher plants! I couldn't believe I had never thought about making a reddish pitcher plant prior, myself, but that just goes to show how ingrained plant color stereotypes are! I saw a picture of a pitcher eating a rat once, and it never escaped my mind, and THAT was red!

But Glohm Gobblick isn't just this beautiful shade of red for no reason! It's under the effect of being Glohmed, which makes anyone other than Mario & Luigi more powerful while amplifying their desire to be isolated and lonely! And unlike some other characters, there's nobody around that's worried for our poor friend Gobblick...it exists only as an optional boss you can come across on your own. Don't worry, Gobblick, we love you...!

Gobblick is never truly alone, however. Thankfully, the game specifies that this is not the Gobblick, but a Gobblick! It's one of MANY! Please expect Gobblick to make its way alongside Toads and Piantas as one of the main recurring Mario People, being charming background fodder for decades to come.

Or not, since it's canonically from another world. Too bad.

This should cover my Wet-Dry Rent for the next few weeks! Join me next time when I finally cover the last in the top three most popular video game pitcher plants: Weepinbell. Bye.

Your life’s a joke and I’m the punchline~

(ID: Super Paper Mario fanart of Dimentio in a variety of poses and expressions. Top left - smiling at the camera with his hands under his chin. Top right - cackling with the back of one hand to his mouth. Middle - grinning with a finger to his lips, a red spatter across his mask. Bottom left - floating with his legs crossed, the Dark Prognosticus open on his lap, a hand on his chin, humming curiously. Bottom middle - looming ominously and making grabby hands over the Chaos Heart. Bottom right - standing on tiptoe with one foot kicked back, looking at the viewer over his shoulder with a toothy grin, fingers crossed behind his back. END ID.)

Needed a break from another piece, so I pulled this from the WIP folder and banged it out in a couple days. We love a bastard clown man in this house.

Started 06/12/23, finished 11/13/23, updated for color correction 11/02/24. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 11/14/23.

After reexamining Mario and Luigi's room, I wanted to expand on my theory about Luigi's photography hobby.

We've seen the digital camera and the little polaroids pinned to the wall, but there is also a microscope on his headboard. At first I thought it was a little out of place, since there was nothing else in the room that indicated a particularly strong interest in biological science (though I wouldn't rule out the possibility.)

However, there are digital camera adaptors for microscopes! so I'm thinking Lu has dabbled in the world of macro photography.

It makes sense to me. Luigi is shown to need a long amount of time to properly take in a new environment...

... but he also likes to pause and look really closely (often too closely) at things that catch his interest.

I can see these sorts of habits manifesting into a photography hobby. After all, if he has a picture he can look at things for as long as he wants, as closely as he wants, without annoying anyone or overstaying his welcome.
