Poll time!

Hello mutuals, followers and anyone who's interested. I want your opinion on something I've been thinking of for quite a while.

My most popular post so far is a very tragic, angsty piece of Mario fanart, I Was-a Too Late (in case you haven't seen it, you can find it here, just mind the CWs). As of now, it has 515 likes and over 600 notes total.

And hey, personally I quite like this one too! Which is why for a long time now I've been thinking of drawing a comic based on this concept. Maybe not a huge, very complex one, just... some ideas I could try to connect? But due to my lack of experience in writing and drawing comics, I still found such a project pretty intimidating.

But today I posted my first real comic! A much shorter one than what I'm planning, so I managed to squeeze the entire scene into one long page. Still though, while it required some work, I enjoyed drawing it and so far it's only received extremely positive response. So I feel more confident and encouraged now. You can see it here if you haven't already.

So, whaddya say?

Not saying I'm basing my decision entirely on your answers, but they can influence it😉 Idk, it's October and there's this thing called Angstober so... I'm kind of in the mood for some angst. I also have other ideas plus IRL projects, but this could become a small side project I can slowly work on for fun. This is just to gauge interest.

For the fanfic writer ask game: 💥 and 🤖

💥 What is one canon thing that you wish you could change?

I usually like to stick to canon or at least adjacent to it? Many of my stories will generally follow principles in canon because I don't like to alter very much about it. Even the end of Super Mario Odyssey, which dashed the dreams of many Mareach shippers, I'm still on board with because I am obsessed with the uncertain space before a relationship starts. Almost every one of my fics is essentially the same story of Mario and Princess Peach navigating that space. But if there is one thing I would change about the Mario canon, Super Mario Galaxy 2 would be a proper sequel to the first game in terms of the story 😂 I sort of know the background to both games and why SMG2 doesn't have as immersive of a story, but despite having more well thought out levels and gameplay, it can never outdo the first game for me.

🤖 Are non-fandom friends aware that you write fanfic?

Yes! Most of my irl friends know that I'm a writer. But there are tiers to how much I let them know, in a sense. Some of them only know that I write and nothing else. Some of them know that I write fanfiction, but not what for specifically. I've told a few in that group only about my Star Wars or Studio Ghibli fics, as those are on the more "socially acceptable" side of things for a whole adult to be writing about. And a very rare few know that I write Mario stories. It's not necessarily a measure of how close I feel with them, because it's not super duper important to me for everyone to know I like Mario x Peach so much that I've spent years writing about them. It's more of a measure of how much I perceive them to be accepting and discreet. Not that I'm ashamed of writing what I write, but I would rather keep it within my private life and not my professional one just yet. Some of my closest friends have no idea what I write about, and they will hopefully never know until I get around to working on my original ideas. I love them, but I just don't see my fanfic as a facet of me that they need to know.

My partner also knows what I write about. He's not a big reader, but he'll listen to me talk about my ideas all day long. It's funny; I spent so many years waxing romantic about a dream guy with curly brown hair and dark blue eyes, who is devoted and determined, as well as extraordinarily kind and who loves deeply, only to find myself with a guy who has curly brown hair and dark blue eyes, who is devoted and determined, as well as extraordinarily kind and who loves deeply 😆 That's called manifestation, baby 🥰

[pianokantzart]

Love your content. The comics, the fics and the essays are all great. Looks like we're the same age now, too. So happy birthday!!

Awe, well thank you very much! Here's to use late 90s babies

[pepperycar]

For Mario and Luigi’s birthday. @silenzahra @vulpixfairy1985 @bberetd @itsavee4117 @peaches2217 @megamagimugi @jelly-fish-wishes @roscolate @pianokantzart @keakruiser gets a bit emotional at the end sorry. 😅🎂

“The greatest gift”

The relief both brothers felt when they were reunited was impossible to explain. Mario had walked three whole days through a new world, not knowing where Luigi was or if he was okay. He felt a great fear in his heart that he would never see his beloved baby brother ever again.

Luigi on the other hand, spent his three days above boiling lava, in a hot metal cage, sweat mixed with tears as he wondered where his dear big brother could be and if he’d ever see him again. When Cranky Kong told Luigi that Mario had died on Rainbow Road he swore his heart stopped, he felt devastated, feeling he had no reason left to live.

That’s why, when both brothers finally reunited, feeling all the love, longing, desperation and fear as the two hugged, they made a mental promise to the other that they wouldn’t let anyone take each other away again. All though now, Mario might’ve made his promise a little stronger because the night after they finally were back in their shared bedroom was when everything started to go wrong.

The first night was ok. Mario and Luigi fell asleep in Mario’s bed, Luigi close to him and giving Mario some much needed reassurance. But the next night Luigi went to sleep in his own bed and it was that night that the paranoia started. Mario awoke with a gasp, nearly screaming as he had a horrible nightmare. That he didn’t save Luigi from the lava or Bowser, that he was.. too late. Mario rushed other to Luigi’s bed to check him and the relief he felt seeing that he was okay nearly matched that of when he Saved Luigi.

Mario tried to go back to sleep after that but he couldn’t. Every time he would start to drift off, he would see Luigi dying in his dreams. It was from then on that Mario decided he would keep a watchful eye on Luigi at all times, day and night and of course that meant no falling asleep. Mario barely ever got more than maybe an hour of sleep a night and it somehow got worse when they moved to the Mushroom Kingdom. Every little noise he would hear while watching over Luigi’s sleeping body, he’d immediately assume that a Toad walking by or a broken twig was Bowser coming to take Luigi away from him again.

Mario’s sleepless mind’s one saving grace was that whenever Luigi had nightmares, he’d ask Mario to cuddle him. And before he could even finish asking, Mario would be by his side instantly and pull his body close to his, those were the only times Mario ever got a good nights sleep. Part of Mario always felt guilty that deep down his exhausted mind would secretly hope for Liuigi to have nightmares so he could have an excuse to hold him close and to finally get a good night sleep. But he felt good that he’d always be there the second his little brother needed comforting.

They’ve been living in the Mushroom Kingdom for a few months now, that night was the same as all the others. Mario was sitting on their desks stool, keeping a watchful eye on Luigi making sure he had a peaceful sleep. Instead of sleeping Mario tended to “zone out” until he heard a noise outside or chaught Luigi turning in his sleep.

Mario snapped back to reality as he heard Luigi shuffle under the blankets. Worried he was having another nightmare, he stood up ready to comfort him. But he noticed Luigi’s shaky breaths and movements weren’t necessarily out of fear, since his face was still peaceful as he slept. He went to reach out and touch Luigi’s shoulder. Luigi’s eyes suddenly snapped open and Mario quickly backed up so he wouldn’t see him. “M-Mario?” Luigi asked only lazily moving his eyes around.

Mario sighed with a smile “Mario, you awake?” Luigi asked again in a sleepy tone. “Y-yeah.. I’m awake.” He said as he approached Luigi’s bed again “you okay? What’s wrong?” Mario placed his hand on Luigi’s shoulder “hmmm s’ddnly r’lly c’ld..” he muttered “can.. can I have a hug?” Mario smiled and rubbed his shoulder “yeah of course, scooch over.” Mario climbed into Luigi’s bed and wrapped his arms around him protectively and pulled him close, Luigi snuggling in closer, laying his head on his big brothers chest. Usually Luigi would be very shaky and panicked for the first few minutes that Mario hugged him. But this time the shakes only lasted a few seconds, his breathing calm and from were Mario had his arms wrapped around him could feel that his heartbeat was slow and steady.

Mario sighed in relief and let himself rest ‘Poor Lu..’ Mario thought ‘I didn’t realise how much the Mushroom kingdoms fall season would affect him- wait.. fall season?’ He glanced over at their wall calendar and saw that the last day checked was September 30th. October was starting tomorrow.. wait tomorrow?! Mario and Luigi’s birthday was in October! Mario hadn’t even realised! That’s it. Mario was grateful for this pleasant sleep he’d get because fist thing in the morning, Mario would start thinking of and looking for a good birthday present for Luigi.

~~~~~

The next day while Luigi was off to get some more plant food and seeds for his garden, Mario made his way into Toad Town. He aproached each stall scanning the contents carefully. There were Power-Ups, ornaments, NES cartridges, maybe Mario could get Luigi a puzzle game so they could play together on his NES more often and have Luigi actually have a chance at winning for once. He approached a stall selling different types of pets, some Biddy-Bugs, baby piranha plants and some multi coloured Cheep-Cheeps. Maybe a pet would be good for Luigi to have keep him company whenever Mario was out or visiting Peach.

The Biddy-Bugs and Cheep-Cheeps seemed like the safest choice so he asked the Toad running the stall. “Oh yeah sure! The Cheep-Cheeps are super friendly.” Said the Toad. Mario went to a small fish tank full of Cheep-Cheeps only for them all to snap at him, some spiky purple ones showing him sharp teeth. “Super friendly once you get to know em..” the Toad nervously chuckled. Okay so maybe not a pet..

Mario ended up going to the castle to see if Peach had any ideas. As Mario entered, Luigi was leaving the castle gardens with his new garden supplies. “Oh hey bro!” Luigi smiled “did you need something?” Mario froze for a second “Oh uh- no I just- I was just giving the Princess a visit..” there, that’s a good enough lie. Luigi raised an eyebrow with a big teasing smirk on his face “okaaay. Let me know how your date goes!” Luigi called walking past him “LU!” Mario grumbled as Luigi let out a little giggle before running off. ‘Note to self, get revenge on Luigi after our birthday.’ Mario thought as he walked through the main hall.

He and Peach ended up sitting in the castle gardens gazebo sharing a cup of Tea with each other. “So I want it to be something really special.” Mario had said. Peach thought for a moment about the ideas he’d told her before forming a small smile on her face “you know Moustache, maybe it only needs to be a simple gift, sometimes less is more.” She smiled. Mario nodded feeling more confident.

“Thanks Princess. Luigi means so much to me and after everything he’s been through this year, he really deserves the best birthday ever..” an idea then started to form “uh Princess?” Mario asked refilling his teacup “do you know any good tailors?” Peach smiled “I think I can help you that Mario. In fact I’m sure I can have them get it done by Friday.” “Really? You’d do that for me?” Mario asked amazed. He started reaching into his pocket to get his wallet “how much will it-“ But he was cut of by Peach holding her hand in front of him “there’s no need for that Moustache. You and Luigi are the heroes of my kingdom, it’s the least I could do” she smiled.

Mario went and tucked his wallet back into his pocket, Peach was smiling at him fondly “W-What?” Mario asked, a blush forming on his face “Oh! Uh nothing!” Peach said looking away as she now started to blush “I was just thinking about how lucky Luigi is to have you as his brother. To him you’re probably the best brother in the world.” Mario’s blush deepened “Th-thank you Princess..” he scratched the back of his head nervously before another idea came to mind. Peach smiled, she could see the cogs turning in his head “I uh, have got some things to get done..” he blushed. Peach nodded “good luck with the gifts Mario.” She smiled as he nodded and left through garden gate.

~~~~~

It was a cold Autumn evening, Mario had got everything ready and should be getting a call from the Tailors by morning. Thanks to the nights being colder, Mario actually managed to got a few good night sleeps since he was cuddling Luigi to keep him warm and Luigi kept asking if it was ok to keep hugging. Mario didn’t need to answer as he slid into bed and would wrap his arms around him before giving him a kiss on the forehead, willing the warmth of the gesture to warm Luigi up on the inside as well as the outside.

Luigi was cuddled up next to Mario, his hands keeping a firm yet gentle grip on Luigi as he felt him self doze off. Luigi’s head was laid on his brothers chest, being lulled to sleep by Mario’s slow and steady heartbeat. He felt Mario take a deep breath then relax prompting Luigi to nuzzle in further. Luigi was having trouble sleeping, mainly because he felt guilty about asking to use Mario as a heater every night, it was probably so annoying. He guessed that Mario wasn’t getting any sleep because of it which made Luigi feel even more guilty because these cuddles with Mario were probably the best sleeps he’d had since moving to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Every night since moving, he’d have horrible nightmares unless Mario hugged him, some worse then others but still feeling guilty whenever he felt Mario slide into bed next to him and pull him close. Why did he deserve such an amazing big brother? He’d seen the bags under Mario’s eyes yet even when he had insisted he wasn’t cold, Mario wouldn’t buy any of his lies and still comfort and warm him. How much sleep was he getting with Luigi’s stupid shivering?

Luigi tried to let his mind wander, glancing around the room until his eyes landed on the calander. October.. wait October?! Luigi leaned over Mario and checked his phone.

10:00 PM Thursday October 9th.

‘October 9th?!’ He thought starting to worry. He didn’t have a present ready! He had been so busy worrying about Mario getting a good sleep and trying to figure out ways to help him along with the plumbing, he didn’t even realise the month! ‘Mario’s gonna hate me if he sees I didn’t get him anything for our birthday!’ Luigi thought frantically. No.. Mario was way too nice to ever be mad at Luigi, but knowing that made Luigi’s guilt feel even worse. His great big brother, who had saved his life, even though he wasn’t worthy of being remembered, let alone rescued was not going to have anything on their birthday! ‘I.. I still have time!’ Luigi thought with a confidence he didn’t really have. First thing tomorrow, he could do this, one last chance to make things right.

Luck was not on Luigi’s side however as all of Toad Towns stalls closed early on a Friday. Desperate he pulled out his phone and did some online shopping. Everything on their was either to expensive (he and Mario shared a bank account, so he didn’t wanna waste his brothers hard earned cash.) or wouldn’t arrive until the day after their birthday. Luigi texted their Mum with worry, asking for any ideas. She suggested getting something from the house or if not that then maybe the thrift shop down the road. She had said that Mario will love whatever he got him and to not worry about getting it to late. Luigi sighed as he realised he’d have to take his mum’s advice.

Luigi settled on a mug he’d seen in the thrift shop window, the store was closing when he got there so he quickly asked the woman closing the door if he could buy the mug in the window. The lady told him that her boss didn’t let anyone in after 4 PM with the colder weather being more frequent but she said she could mark the mug as sold and hold onto for him so he could collect by morning. That would have to do he guessed..

The next morning, October 11th, super early, Luigi carefully crept out of Mario’s arms as to not wake him before sneaking out the kitchen and to the front door. It was half past seven, he had a good thirty minutes before Mario woke up. He rushed his way through Brooklyn, to the thrift shop, bought the ten dollar mug and started heading back to the warp pipe. The Mug was a generic white with big black letters reading: #1 BOSS! Luigi pulled out a red pen from his pocket and scribbled out BOSS! And put BROTHER! Underneath it.

Luigi while holding the mug close started running back home. He ran through the Mushroom Fields, past Toad Town and was almost army the house, only for a Buddy-Bug (presumably escaped from the near by farm) ran in front of him. Luigi tripped just outside the house falling flat on his face from how fast he ran.

When Luigi pulled himself up he felt his heart break into a million pieces just like the mug before him. From wher he held the mug he ended up getting scratches across his top and overalls but only a few scratches. He felt something wet on his hand and looked down to see his right palm was cut from the porcelain shards. He hissed in pain as he took his glove off and then tried to pull the small chunk out of his palm. A tear slipped down his cheek as his hand stung and his other hands glove started to get drops of blood on it. Luigi quickly hid his hand when he heard the front door open. Oh god.. oh no, not now!

Luigi felt a hand cupping his cheek “Lu?.. Lu! Are you okay?!” Mario nearly shouted as he saw specks of blood on Luigi’s gloves. ‘Mario shouldn’t be worrying. Can’t he see that I just ruined his gift?’ Luigi thought sadly as Mario checked his one hand the the slightly bloody one. “Luigi, how did..” Mario stopped his thoughts when he saw the mug shattered on the ground, three big chunks of it were close enough for him to Read the message, his face softened when he saw the: BROTHER! In Luigi’s rushed writing. “N’aww Lu..” Mario smiled softly. He pulled Luigi to his feet then carefully guided him into the house, he sat Luigi on the end of his bed as he went to go grab the first aide kit from the kitchen cupboard.

He removed the small chunk and the smaller (almost like glass) pieces of porcelain before dipping it into a glass of water then putting on some disinfectant, when he saw the blood wasn’t clotting he wrapped some gaze around it before quickly leaving to put everything back and wash his hands. When he came back he climbed onto his bed and scooted close to Luigi. “You okay now?” Mario asked seeing some tears in his brothers eyes. Luigi responded with a little whimper before nodding. Mario looked around trying to find something to take Luigi’s mind off of everything. Then he remembered.

“C’mon” Mario said putting a hand on Luigi’s shoulder “get yourself out of those bloodied up overalls and into something more comfortable.” As Luigi went and got himself some clean green sweatpants to throw on, Mario leaned over his bed a pulled something out from under his pillow. Luigi chucked his overalls in the washing basket before turning around only to be surprised to see Mario holding a present and something else behind his back.

Luigi sat next to Mario and slowly took the gift from his hand. He untied the rope ribbon then unwrapped the green wrapping paper to reveal a sweater. It was the same green as Luigi’s shirt, pn the back in dark green writing was a big number one and on the front.. LUIGI NUMBER 1 BRO! With Luigi’s face next to the writing with a big happy smile on his face. Luigi let out a breath he didn’t realise he was holding when he felt Mario’s hand rest on his shoulder.

“D’you like it Lu?” Mario asked tensing up slightly. Luigi could only nod before pulling his shirt off and replacing it with sweater. It was warm and fluffy “F-Feels like getting a hug from you..” Luigi muttered, a tear falling down his cheek. “Peach knew some really good tailors.” Mario smiled.

Luigi turned to hug and thank Mario only to be surprised at the thing Mario was holding in his hands. A green picture frame with little stick-on heart shaped gems, white lines going through it, shaped like vines then at the top, in white colouring said: MY and at the bottom said HERO and in the middle of it all was a mirror where Luigi saw his own face looking back at him.

Luigi stared at his reflection as Mario handed it to him. Luigi sighed and said “i think you bought this for the wrong person..” before turning it around so Mario could see his own reflection. Mario smiled and shook his head “no you’re definitely the right person, you’re my hero Lu and in more ways then one.” Luigi looked at the mirror then at Mario “I didn’t do much compared to what you’ve done. I picked up a manhole cover and that’s about it-“ was all Luigi got out before Mario interrupted “you saved my life, you’ve always been there for me no matter what and have put up with my brash decisions every time.. you’re my hero Luigi and I owe my life to you. Maybe more.”

Luigi felt his cheeks blush before Mario continued “after all those terrible nights.. I’m so glad I get to give these to you.” Luigi smiled as Mario’s words registered in his brain.. wait. Terrible nights? Luigi glanced up at Mario “Have-Have you been having nightmares too?” Luigi said looking Mario in the eyes. It wasn’t a question and Mario’s stunned silence was enough to answer. Mario sighed “E-Every night.. since IT happened I.. ive has these horrible dreams about me being too late, not saving you and having to watch you die over and over again.. it got so bad I decided that-that sleeping wasn’t worth it but I couldn’t tell you about it because.. you had suffered way was then me and I-I didn’t want to burden with my problems. The only times I ever got a good night sleep was whenever we cuddled knowing I could hear and feel you. Knowing that you were there, y’know?”

Luigi let the words sink in before saying “Is-Is that why you always left the desks stool in the middle of the room? Because you were-“ “watching over you. Yes.” Mario finished. Luigi felt guilty again, how could he not see that Mario had needed comfort? More so than him. Luigi Looked away guiltily. He felt Mario cup his cheek. “Luigi..” Mario sighed. Luigi refused to look him in the eye.. “Lu.” That did it, hearing his nickname got Luigi to Look up at Mario. Luigi started to sob.

“I-I’ma so sorry bro!” Luigi cried nuzzling in To Mario’s collarbone “I-I was afraid th-that asking you for comfort from or nightmare or more re-recently from the cold was keeping you awake! And no, you’re not a burden bro. You deserve the world and more. You saved my life so the least I could do would be to comfort you. I always sleep better in your arms anyway..” Luigi sniffed as he nuzzled closer. “You deserved the best birthday and I ruined it! You had to waste you morning helping me and-and while you got me these amazing gifts, I couldn’t get you one and the one I did get you was trash compared and to top it all off I broke it!-“

“Luigi!” Mario yelled scaring Luigi into shutting up. His face softened and he spoke a lot calmer “Lu.. you don’t have to get my anything for our birthday. The fact that I nearly lost you.. I felt that you deserve this birthday more then me because.. you almost didn’t get to have it.” Mario took a deep breath, pulling Luigi closer before he continued.

“since this month began, the nightmares have been worse because not only do I not save you, not only do I watch you die but these dreams are longer with me having to see what my life is like without you. And.. when our birthday comes around I can’t bring myself to be happy because you’re not there! Sometimes I’d see you as a ghost but you would just stare at me. Sometime sad, scared or angry. And I could never bring myself to say sorry because I didn’t deserve your forgiveness! Every night in my dreams, I’d have to live with the fear that I’d never get to say happy birthday or merry Christmas to you ever again! I don’t need a birthday gift, I just need to know that you’re alive and well, that’s more then enough for me.”

Luigi��s eyes widened before softening to take Mario’s hand “Mario.” Luigi started, staring directly into his eyes “If I had died that day I would never hate you or be angry with you, I know you would’ve tried everything in your power to save me and just being able to know that you didn’t die on rainbow road, that you had a second chance to keep living after my mistake with the warp pipe would be more then enough for me to die happy. I’d only be sad because I didn’t get to apologise myself or say goodbye and if I really did appear as a ghost.. I’d protect you, love you as you deserve to be. I could never hate you Mario even in death and I’d never leave you.”

Luigi gently took Mario’s hand and placed it flat on his chest. He heard Mario gasp as he felt his heart thumping under his palm “Just know that I’m here now. I love you and I’d never leave you. May we have many more birthdays together and.. happy birthday Mario.”

Mario sighed deeply before looking into Luigi’s eyes, pulling their foreheads together. Luigi could see what Mario was thinking through his eyes. ‘I was also afraid I’d never hear you that that again either.’ Mario and Luigi sighed as Mario pressed his palm deeper into Luigi’s chest. Luigi felt his heart give a little jump before going back into a slightly fast but steady rhythm. He pulled Mario up to the head of the bed and they both snuggled under the blanket. Mario moving his hand away and placed his head against Luigi’s chest in its place.

Mario smiled as a final tear slipped from his face. “Happy birthday Luigi.. and I love you too.. you’re the greatest gift I could ever ask for.

-The End.

Phew 😅 that took me longer then I expected it too. But I hope you all enjoyed nonetheless! 🎂

So, reblogged from her in the past? Join the Operation and post those links to the following doc! (Or just lurk and look through the collection; her posts and ideas are excellent, all worth checking out.)

A massive, massive thank you to everyone who's contributed thus far:

@itsavee4117 @megamagimugi @kelbreyworshipper @stripetkattelalala54-gf @oh-my-gosh-its-j0sh

As well as to everyone who's rallied to support our friend during this time! The doc will remain open and available for all to edit and contribute to. Having everything in one centralized location will hopefully make it easier for Zahra to access and revisit/redistribute at her own pace. All is not lost; this is only the beginning of a new and beautiful venture, and we're all gonna see her through together!

56 with the Bros? 😎

coming right up 👩🏾‍🍳✨

the bros’ first adventure together!

56. Would you just hold still?

How could you call yourself a Mario brother?

Mario and Luigi were in hiding, preparing to time their strike against the enemy. Up until now, Luigi didn’t even know how he was still alive. He felt like he’d half-assed the entire adventure, just barely dodging attacks, getting hits, or Mario saving him at the last second. He wouldn’t even blame Mario if he was fed up by him.

This is why he leaves you at home. You’re too accident prone. You’re always endangering the both of you.

The only other adventure Luigi had been on was that unsettling mansion a while back. He tried using the same coping mechanism to calm his nerves throughout the journey — humming — but unfortunately, it only worked within the so-called comfort of a home. Instead, he was left with trembling beside Mario, clutching his head in a desperate attempt to ground himself while Mario, always so brave, looked on for danger or their target.

Stop shaking, stop whimpering, stop being a coward. Just hold still! Hold still, hold still, hold still, hold-

Luigi’s inner voice was interrupted when he felt familiar hands cover his own. Gently, those hands turned his head so their foreheads could press together. That was all it took for Luigi to settle — familiarity, warmth, solidity. After a few deep breaths, the brothers simultaneously opened their eyes, both mirroring the alertness for the current situation, but the overriding gentleness and love felt for each other.

We’ll be okay, as long as you’re with me.

They parted a few seconds later, sharing a firm nod before heading into battle.

(@silenzahra I did a Mario and Luigi!!!!!!!)

[silenzahra]

I just realized, if I reblog your blog now with your new profile picture it kinda looks like Luigi is curiously looking up at Mario kicking the shell.

That's it, that's the ask.

And it's an ask that I LOVE, dear friend!! This is so freaking CUTE 🥹🥹🥹 I swear my heart has just increased in size!! It's as if Luigi is looking at his brother attentively in order to learn how this attack works and what he must do when his turn comes. He admires his big bro so much!! ❤️💚

Thank you for sharing this with me, dear Mugi! I love that our profile pics kinda match in a way 🤭💖

[megamagimugi]

Hello everybody. I'm-a back! Missed me?😉

I'll try to catch up a bit and then resume working on the emotion challenge asks. Sorry to have kept some of you waiting and thanks for your patience.

YOU ARE INCREDIBLY TALENTED MY FRIEND

These are so good Mugi!! Traditional art definitely needs a lot more appreciation. Especially this, you nailed all those details 🤩 I’m more of a gouache girlie, I’ve never been great with acrylic, so this is amazing to me 😂

Something cute that the movie made canon:

The first power up Luigi ever used was the Power Star.

Man, Luigi didn't even know what a powerup was at that point, and the first thing he got to use was the Power Star because Mario didn't want to finish the fight without Luigi by his side

and Luigi trusted his brother enough to be dragged along despite how dire the situation was and how confused he was and.. hngggg

I wanna say thank y’all so much. I’ve been going through a bad depressive episode and didn’t realize just how bad it was because I was so consumed with Brothership. 😅 Thank y’all so much for hearing me out and checking in on me and showing me kindness. I don’t know where I’d be without y’all. 🫂💗

I put a long-needed plan into execution today that’ll put me on the path to greater financial freedom, or at least financial responsibility, and that plus church plus a couple of gender-affirming jackets have me in much better spirits today. I also had a really good talk with my mom while going over my new financial plan, and that lifted my spirits considerably too:

and this I think is the same approach I’d like to take towards life in general. I’ve fucked up for a long time and I continue to fuck up, but I’ve been fucked up for a very long time, and undoing all of that won’t happen overnight. Only in the past year or so have I been able to get my life together. I’m gonna slip up. I can’t let that hold me back and I can’t beat myself up over every single sin I commit.

This is a tumultuous time for just about everyone, and tensions and emotions are high, and I’ve let it all get to my head. Thank y’all for helping me remember myself and keep myself in check. Until the day I can do all of that myself, let me repay y’all in any way I can. 💗

@megamagimugi you could call me your (second) biggest fan 😉

The fanworks you've made of my little Violet Fiorella 🥹💜✨

Today marks exactly a month since I introduced you to my little Violet Fiorella, Luigi and Daisy's daughter, and as I mentioned in this reblog, I've been meaning to make this post to compile all the fanworks you've done of her as a way to properly thank all of you for showering my girl with so much love 🥹💜

Also, thank you so much, dear and talented artists, for allowing me to include your beautiful pieces here in this post! 💖

My beloved @bberetd, you were the first one to draw my little girl and I absolutely ADORE how cute and pretty she looks in your sketch!! And also that she's in such great company with her strong mama and her sassy auntie 🤭😄 She looks so adorable!! 💜

Thank you so much for being the first one to bring her to life, my beloved bestie 🥹🫂 Violet loves you so so much as well!! 💖💖💖

My dear @itsavee4117, you made so many drawings of my little girl and I'm truly so honored, my friend!!! 🥹🥹🥹 The fact that you love Violetta so much that you drew so many of the scenarios I wrote for her, I just 😭😭😭 How can I even thank you??? I swear I'd LOVE to add here all of the drawings you made as I love them all dearly (I even feel like printing and framing them because they're THAT awesome), but I went for four of them that, I believe, capture Violet's essence (and her bond with some of her family members) very well 💜 (Not that the others don't, but... I just have a soft spot for these ones 💖)

I had to include the one with Dante there because I 100% agree that your OC and mine would definitely become besties and even partners in crime, hehe 🤭😁 And I can never get over Luigi singing the Italian lullaby to his little girl 🥹💚💜 Thank you once again for your amazing fanart, dear friend!! I adore it with all my heart 🫂💖💖

Then... I received a beautiful surprise present in my inbox, this one by my wonderful friend @megamagimugi who graced me with this precious and tender drawing of little Violet riding Polterpup 🥹🥹🥹 She looks just so CUTE!!!!! I just wish I could pick her up and hold her in my arms 😭💜 I love her happy expression and her adorable pajamas, and I know I already said this, dear friend, but Polterpup just looks so perfect in your style!! 👌🤍

Thank you once again for this lovely surprise, dear friend, and for the meaning behind it as you meant to make me remember my Baloo now that I don't live with him anymore. You really made my heart so warm 🥹💜🤍

This wasn't the only surprise I received in my inbox though!! My dear bestie Boma came up with a GENIUS idea that fits SO WELL with my OC that I immediately accepted it as canon, and only made my love for this little girl and her amazing parents grow 🥹 Please make sure to follow the link below and read it because it truly is PERFECT... and it may have given me some ideas to work with in the future 👀💜

One week after I introduced Violet Fiorella to the world, it was my birthday, and I received a beautiful and gorgeous birthday present from @smokszyvverstar that I adore DEARLY 😍😍😍 Just, look at how cute and happy Luigi and Violetta look here right after she gifted her papa a lovely flower crown 🥹💚💜

She seriously looks so pretty!!! Those shiny eyes, those freckles, her daisy-shaped earrings!!! And Luigi looks just as cute with the gorgeous flower crown from his girl on his head 🥹 They look so absolutely PRECIOUS and I love this adorable drawing so so much!!! Thank you once again for this beautiful surprise, @smokszyvverstar 🥹 You're so sweet and talented!!! 🫂💖💖

My beloved bestie @bberetd also gave me a birthday present that I LOVE and treasure dearly because it's just so PERFECT 🥹🥹🥹 I swear I can NEVER get tired of staring at this beautiful doodle dump you did of my girl with her parents. She's such a sweetie and she loves her mama and her papa so so much!!! She really is her parents' treasure and you captured that PERFECTLY, my friend 👌👏👏

I just 😭😭😭 I'm so WEAK for this I swear. Violet is a CUTIE and again I wish I could hold her in my arms 🥹🥹🥹 I LOVE all her interactions with her parents, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for (again) Luigi singing to her. Especially because the way you drew it, it reminds me so much of Coco!! 🥹🥹🥹 Really, dear bestie, thank you SO MUCH for this wonderful present. I'm beyond ELATED that you love Violet so much!!! 😭🫂💖💖💖

Another wonderful birthday present that I received was by @dragon-fly34 who drew my little girl so beautifully!! I absolutely LOVE both versions you did of her as she looks so incredibly cute and lovely 😍😍😍

I love her cute yellow overalls and her orange striped socks on the digital drawing, and the lovely crown stitched to her overalls as well as the many different hairpins on her bangs on the traditional drawing!! Her cheeks look so adorable, and I love that the buttons of her overalls are heart-shaped 😍😍😍 So much cuteness and adorableness!! Thank you sooo much for this gorgeous present, Dragonfly!! I truly love it dearly 🥹🫂💖💖💖

Then... shortly after my bestie Boma came up with the idea previously mentioned (the one that I immediately accepted as canon), I got yet another surprise... when my beloved friend Mugi turned Boma's idea... INTO A COMIC.

Please, PLEASE, go read it. Give it a thousand likes and reblogs. Make it RISE like it deserves. Gosh, Mugi, the way you drew Boma's idea made me love it even HARDER. Just, Daisy calling her "florecilla" like in my post, the little moments of Luigi and references to Luigi's Mansion and Superstar Saga, the face of my little girl, with those big shiny eyes of her, as she thinks about how much she admires her papa, I just—🥹🥹🥹

I've melted completely. I LOVE THIS. And I also LOVE the beautiful family reunion that you drew and that Boma redrew not long after 🥹🥹🥹

My beloveds. MY BELOVEDS. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I have to be very honest. When I came up with the idea for Violet and slowly figured out her personality, her background, her likes and dislikes... never in a thousand years would I have imagined that she'd be so LOVED that she'd got not one, not two, but a total of 17 fanworks dedicated to her. SEVENTEEN. That's literally the highest number of fanworks that I've ever received based on something that I wrote, and in this case, to make it even more special, it's my very first Super Mario OC that I've ever created.

So, really, this is seriously a dream. You guys spoil me with your AMAZING art and ideas. And you all draw my girl so CUTE. I swear I can't choose just one of the many fanarts I've received, because she looks incredibly pretty and adorable in every single one of them and I love and treasure them all dearly 💜💜💜

Just... I'm so blessed. This community is the BEST thing that has happened to me in a very long time. Every day I thank life that I'm a part of it and that I met each and every single one of you. My friends, my moots, the people who interact with my content in one way or another: I love you. I hope you know how incredibly awesome you are in every way possible. You have my eternal gratitude for always being there and for making Tumblr the most amazing and wholesome site in the entire internet. Please keep being you 💖

Of course, special thanks to those of you who supported the post of my beloved Violet Fiorella in one way or another. I hope you all know that every like, comment and reblog is much appreciated. And what more can I say about these wonderful fanworks I've compiled in this post... They all live in my heart rent free always and forever, as well as the amazing and talented artists who created them. From the bottom of my heart: thank you all so so much 💖💖💖
