Memory Reboot: A Super Mario Fanfiction

Uhm...

So basically I disappeared. BUT! I'm back, and i've got a brand new fanfiction for yall! Allow me to introduce: Memory Reboot.

Get yalls tissues ready because baby, this is gonna be a WILD ride.

Hey Mario mutuals + friends, wanna check out this sad story that came out of my bag of ideas? (I barely have the balls to ask-- my confidence took a vacation)

@stripetkattelalala54-gf @pepperycar @peaches2217 @nuctoria @bberetd @vulpixfairy1985 @silenzahra @keakruiser @supergay-64 @kelbreyworshipper @luigixfanxayjay @alex-procrastinates

Enjoy the story :)

(TW: death, gore [in which I suck at describing], etc.)

Wheezes and gasps were seemingly the only noises that escaped Mario's mouth. Each and every breath was painful as could be. His body ached, his head throbbed. Agonizing stabs of pain shot through his chest with every inhale.

The warmth of fresh blood that was his own stained Mario's fingers. He looked down at his trembling hand, his heart pounding in his ears. His vision was blurred, but he could make out the pale, almost translucent skin and the jagged edges of bone that poked through.

With a pained grunt, Mario forced himself to sit up, his back pressing against the cold, hard surface of the stone wall of the burning shop.

His eyes darted about, taking in the scene of devastation.

The once-thriving Toad Town was now a pile of ash and rubble, a few burning embers here and there the only signs of life. The wind howled through the streets, carrying with it the acrid stench of smoke and despair.

The air was thick with the smell of burning wood, charred metal, and something else; something much worse. It smelled like death.

A smell that-- albeit familiar-- felt so out of place.

It was the smell of fire, and the smoke that rose from it carried with it memories of warmth and comfort. But here, in this desolate wasteland that was once Toad Town, the smell was a cruel reminder of the destruction that had befallen them all.

Mario couldn't believe how much his life had changed in the past year.

Bowser had come and gone, leaving nothing but ruin in his wake. Instead of his usual childish antics of kidnapping the princess, he caused actual destruction to the Mushroom Kingdom, resulting in mass genocide of the inhabitants of the kingdom.

He destroyed the kingdom, annexed it's territories, overthrew the government--

Mario's face darkened as he reached into the collar of his shirt, tugging on the chain that rested there, the cold metal piercing against his burnt skin. He pulled it out, to reveal a ring, its golden surface a contrast to the silver one of the chain.

It was the engagement ring he had bought for Peach. He had never gotten the chance to give it to her. It was a symbol of a life that once was, filled with joy, hope, and love. Now, it felt like a taunt from the universe, a reminder of what he had lost.

He clutched the ring in his hand. Anger, along with pain and hurt surged through his veins.

He killed Peach.

The words echoed in Mario's mind like a never-ending nightmare, a dark truth that haunted his every moment. His thoughts raced back to the day when he had found her, lifeless in the wreckage of her castle, her once-beautiful eyes staring vacantly into the abyss. The flaming wreckage of Toad Town served as a twisted backdrop to the vivid memory, a stark contrast to the vibrant, bustling place it had been when Peach was alive.

She died with this kingdom.

So did---

Another sob erupted from his throat as he clutched the ring even harder. He could feel the heat from his hand begin to warm the metal, almost as if it was trying to burn away the memory.

His brother.

His fratellino.

The memory of his brother, Luigi, washed over him like a tidal wave. The laughter, the camaraderie, the competitions, the adventures they had shared together were now just echoes in the vast emptiness of his soul. The weight of his loss was so profound that it felt like a piece of him had been torn away, leaving a gaping hole that no amount of time could ever fill.

It was all his fault. He couldn't protect him. He couldn't protect them.

And now they were gone, and everything was falling apart.

Hope was gone, his friends were gone, the love of his life was gone, his brother was gone. He tried getting up, to put one foot forward despite the situation. After all, that's what he was known for. Never giving up, despite the circumstances.

But it was hard rising up, if it wasn't them he was rising for.

The weight of his body felt like it was pushing him down, gravity a cruel force that he didn't have the strength to fight. His legs wobbled like a newborn deer's as he tried to stand, the pain in his chest a constant reminder of the gaping wound in his heart.

He felt himself slowly succumbing to the pain, the guilt, the overwhelming sense of loss. Mario's body, weakened by the struggle to survive, could no longer fight against the relentless torment that gripped him. As his vision began to blur, his last glimpse was of the burning mess, the charred remains of what was once Toad Town.

It's time for a Memory Reboot.

Mario opened his eyes slowly, the previous blur of the world now forming to make objects in a hospital room. The familiar beeping of a heart monitor filled the air, and the smell of antiseptic cleanser assaulted his nostrils. He felt a vague sense of discomfort in his limbs, but overall, he seemed to be in one piece.

As he blinked, trying to adjust his eyes to the overwhelming brightness of the room, he spotted a flash of green pacing back and forth.

Mario's charred voice only came out as a croak, but it succeeded in it's task of getting the person's attention. His brother whirled around, his face a mask of worry and relief.

He hurried over to the bedside, his gaze darting between Mario and the monitors before settling on his brother's face. "You're awake," he breathed, immediately diving in for a hug. It was a tight, fierce embrace, as if he were afraid that Mario might disappear again if he let go. Mario returned the hug weakly, his body still aching from the ordeal.

"Sorry, bro. I-- I didn't mean to be so....forceful-" Luigi chuckled, his voice quivering with relief and unrevealed desperation. "It's just...I thought I'd lost you. And..." He trailed off, eyes darting away as he tried to compose himself.

Mario furrowed his eyebrows. Despite his fragile state, he reached a shaky hand up, and felt around gingerly. His shaking temporarily subsided as he found his brother's hand, clasping it tightly. "No. I--"

He drew in a raspy breath. His voice felt rough, unused. "I'm here, bro. I'm not going anywhere," Mario croaked. The reassurance didn't seem to help as much as he'd hoped. Luigi's face still bore the weight of worry and fear. It was then when he noticed his brother's own state. His overalls were tattered, stained with blood that was a mixture of both Luigi's, and presumably his own.

"Luigi...I'm sorry. I couldn't..." Mario trailed off, unable to finish the thought. He felt a stab of guilt as he looked at his brother. They had been through so much together, survived countless battles against Bowser and his minions. But this time, he had failed. He had failed to protect him.

Luigi squeezed his hand, a saddened smile tugging at his features. "It's not your fault, Mario. You did everything you could. And you're here now, and that's what matters. We'll get through this together, just like we always do." His voice was steady, reassuring, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. There was still a lingering sadness there, a sense of loss that Mario could feel even from across the bed.

There was a small bout of tense silence between the two.

"I'm sorry," Mario whispered, his voice barely audible above the beeping of the heart monitor. "For everything. For not being there when you needed me. For not protecting you." He paused, swallowing thickly. "I promise I'll make it up to you, Luigi. I'll make sure nothing like this ever happens again."

His brother turned to him once again, taking note of the small tears that were forming at the corners of his eyes. "It's not your fault, Mario. You don't have to apologize for that. I know that you would have done everything in your power to protect me, just like I would have done the same for you. That's what we're here for, right? To look out for each other?" he asked hopefully, taking his brother's hand and placing it to his chest.

Mario sighed, retrieving his hand-- a strenuous task that shouldn't have hurt as much as it did.

"You're right, of course. I just...I don't want to see you hurt, bro. Not again. And I can't help but feel like it's all my fault..." He trailed off, his voice barely audible over the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor.

"I couldn't protect you..." he whispered, his voice cracking. "Mario, I-"

"No, Luigi." He was immediately cut off by his brother, shaking his head slowly. "I'm supposed to be the hero, remember? You don't have to protect me. You're.." his face darkened. "You're not supposed to see me like this."

There was a tense silence in the room, only interrupted by the beeps of the heart monitor, mixed with the scruffing of feet beyond the door as nurses and doctors walked by, unaware of the turmoil within.

Luigi glanced towards his brother, who had now turned away, not-so-subtly (despite what he hoped,) brought a hand up to his face to wipe the tears that had gotten past his desperate attempt to hide them. The silence grew heavier, the air thick with the unspoken words of regret and pain that neither of them knew how to voice.

His eyes scanned the beat-up body of his brother. The bruises, the burns, the scars. They told a story of pain and struggle. Struggle that he didn't deserve. Struggle that he had to endure, just because he wanted to be a hero. He just couldn't realize that he was already a hero. To him, to Peach, to-- the entire mushroom kingdom, even!

The pain of seeing his brother like this was unbearable. The guilt was like a heavy stone in his stomach, pressing down on him. Luigi sighed, gently sitting down on the edge of the hospital bed, his eyes never leaving the broken body of his brother.

"Mario, listen." The words barely whispered from his lips, as if afraid to disturb the quiet ambience of the room that seemed to amplify the sorrow. Mario's chest rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern, signaling that he was still there. Still fighting. Still holding on.

The soft sounds of sniffles betrayed Mario's attempt to ignore his brother, but Luigi already knew he was listening. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to say.

"You are a hero, Mario. You always have been. And you always will be." His voice was a mix of sadness and admiration. "But you can't be the hero all the time. Sometimes, you need to let someone else save the day." He paused, his gaze never leaving Mario's. "And sometimes, you need to let yourself be saved." Mario's eyes remained closed, but a single tear trickled down his cheek. He knew his brother was right, but the weight of his own failure was too much to bear.

The room remained quiet, the only sound the steady rhythm of the heart monitor. The air was thick with unspoken words and painful memories. Mario felt the weight of his brother's gaze and the unshed tears that clung to his eyelashes. Finally, he took a deep breath and turned to face Luigi.

"I just-- don't want to lose you, Lui. You're all I have left, i-" Mario's voice broke off as he realized the gravity of his words. The room grew colder, and he felt a knot tighten in his chest.

Luigi's eyes grew misty, and he reached out to gently wipe the tear from his brother's cheek. "I know, brother, I know..."

He looked down, sighing before taking a thumb, gently brushing a tuft of his brother's tangled, bloodstained hair away from his face, giving him a gentle frown. "But you're losing yourself trying to save everyone else," he murmured, his eyes glistening. "We're a team, remember? And if you're not okay, then neither am I."

Mario's eyes fluttered open, meeting Luigi's concerned gaze. He couldn't bare seeing his brother like this, all hurt and in pain because of him. "L-Luigi, I'm so sorry," he managed to croak out. The words hung in the air, heavy with the burden of regret.

"Don't be, Mario," Luigi replied, his voice shaking slightly. "You've always been there for me, for everyone. It's my turn to be there for you now." He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. "We're going to get through this, I promise. We're going to get out of here, go back to the Mushroom Kingdom, and... and things will be like they used to be."

Mario nodded weakly, trying to believe the words that seemed too good to be true. The pain in his chest eased a bit, but the sadness remained. "What about Peach?" he asked, the question hanging in the air like a lead balloon.

Luigi swallowed hard, his grip on Mario's hand tightening.

"Peach..." he whispered, his voice cracking. "We'll save her too, I promise." The words seemed to hang in the air, heavy with a grief that neither of them could fully express. "But right now, you need to focus on getting better. You're not going anywhere, okay?"

Mario nodded, his eyes fluttering closed again. The exhaustion was overwhelming, but he knew his brother was right. He had to get better, for both of them. For Peach. For the kingdom.

As if on cue, the door opened, and the sweet, soft voice of the princess sounded, not long after the clicking of her heels was heard in the room.

"M-Mario!" Peach's voice was filled with relief and joy, and her eyes sparkled with tears as she rushed to his side. Her eyes took in his condition, and the smile on her face faltered, but she didn't let the sadness linger.

Her dress swished as she leaned over him, her hands reaching for his. "You're awake!" she whispered, her eyes searching for any signs of pain or distress.

Mario forced a smile through the pain, squeezing her hands back. "Hey Peach," he managed to murmur.

Her touch was gentle, but it sent waves of warmth through his body, easing the ache in his heart a little. "I'm so sorry," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I should have been there to help you both. I'm always getting myself into trouble, and I- i'm just so sorry..."

He could feel the regret and guilt in her voice, and he squeezed her hands tighter. "It's not your fault, Peach. It's never your fault."

The room grew quiet again, the only sounds the beeping of the heart monitor and the occasional sniffle from Peach as she held onto Mario's hand.

"You need to rest," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "We'll figure out what to do next after you're stronger."

Mario nodded, feeling the weariness seep back into his bones. The pain was a constant reminder of what he had lost, but the warmth of Peach and Luigi's hands was a gentle promise of what was still there. As his eyes closed, he felt a soft kiss on his forehead. "Thank you," Peach murmured, her voice thick with emotion. "For always saving me." Mario's chest tightened, and he felt a single tear roll down his cheek. "Always," he promised, his voice barely a whisper.

Luigi raised an eyebrow, a small smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "Always the hero, huh?" He tried to lighten the mood, but the sadness remained in his eyes. "You know, you can't save everyone, Mario. And that's okay."

Mario's eyes searched his brother's, looking for any sign of anger or resentment, but all he found was love and understanding. He nodded, feeling the weight of the words sink in. "I know," he murmured. "But I had to try."

Peach leaned in closer, her voice soothing as she stroked his hair. "You did try, Mario. And we're all so grateful for that."

The room grew still once more, each lost in their own thoughts. The heart monitor beeped a solemn tune, echoing the somber mood. Peach's hand remained on his forehead, her warmth seeping into his skin, and Luigi's hand remained steadfast in his.

Mario felt the warmth of Peach's hand leave his forehead as she stood up to give him space. He could feel her gaze lingering on him, filled with an intensity that spoke volumes of her love and concern. She looked at him, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Rest now, my hero," she said softly.

She stood, before chuckling lightly again, going in to squeeze him once more.

The touch was warm, the comforting warmth of the touch began to get warmer, before it felt more like a burning sensation rather than an embrace.

Mario coughed, a warm liquid coming up and through his mouth.

Peach smiled, breaking apart from the hug and smiling, gently held her hero in her arms, her pink lipstick leaving a mark on his forehead.

The charred remains of his surroundings burned Mario's eyes as his eyelids trapped the ash between the two surfaces, allowing no possible chances for escape.

Mario's eyelids became half-lidded, causing Peach to giggle, placing another kiss to his cheek, her eyes sparkling with something other than tears. Genuine affection shone through her gaze, bringing a smile to her lips.

The burning metal of the chain that held her engagement ring seared his skin, as if trying to give him a message.

Peach played with his hair, running a hand through the tangled mess of fluffy brown hair.

His hair was charred, chunks of it falling down onto the ground.

She ran a thumb over his cheek, smiling softly as she caressed her boyfriend's features.

From his position slumped-over, his face touched the surface of the burning ground, the skin bonding with the rough surface of the pavement. He felt the intense heat, but no pain.

He felt his body betraying him as his eyes began to close. Peach smiled, her eyes sparkling with something that wasn't just love anymore. The warmth of her hands grew hotter, the pain grew more intense, and the smell of burning flesh filled his nostrils.

She leaned down, giving him one last kiss to the forehead, and whispered sweet nothings into his ear. But Mario felt something was off, a sense of unease that grew as the warmth of her touch grew hotter. He tried to speak, but no words came out, only a hoarse gurgle.

The world around him grew hazy, colors fading into a stark white. He heard the fading echo of Peach's laughter, the sound of her heels clicking away, and then... nothing. The burning ceased, and a cold, numbing emptiness took its place.

Mario's eyes snapped open, the sterile hospital room fading back to the grim reality of the ruined city. The smell of burning flesh and the sight of his charred hair and skin were extremely real now, and it hurt.

He yelped, trying to sit up, but a searing pain shot through his body, and he collapsed back onto the ground, gasping for what little air he could get through his burnt throat.

The pain was excruciating. Mario didn't know what was worse--his burns or the realization that he had been hallucinating the memories of his last moments with his girlfriend and his brother.

The stark white of the room was replaced by the cold, harsh light of day, piercing through the smoke and ash outside the shattered window. The walls of the hospital room had crumbled around him, leaving only a skeletal frame to hint at what once was.

He coughed, and the sound was wet and painful. The air tasted metallic, and he could feel the grit of dust and debris in his teeth.

Mario's eyes darted around the room, looking for any signs of life, any hint of color in the monochrome landscape of ruin. But all he saw was the stark contrast of light and shadow, the remnants of what once was.

He tried to sit up again, and this time, he managed it, hissing through his teeth as pain shot through his body. His eyes fell on his bandaged hands, the fabric stained with the dark crimson of his own blood.

With trembling legs, he stood, each movement sending jolts of pain through his body. The world outside was a blur of rubble and ash, but he had to get out.

Moving slowly, Mario stepped over the debris, the remnants of the shop crunching under his boots. The town was a maze of destruction, many buildings barely standing, but he had to find a way out.

He stumbled through the wreckage, the stench of burning metal and plastic thick in the air. Every step sent sharp jolts of pain up his legs, but he pushed through it, driven by a fierce determination to escape this nightmare. The once-familiar streets of the Mushroom Kingdom were unrecognizable, twisted into a landscape of destruction that seemed to stretch on forever.

Mario's heart raced as he searched for any sign of his friends or enemies--- or any life at all. But all he found were shadows and echoes. The only sound was the distant wail of the wind, carrying with it the whispers of lost lives and shattered dreams.

He paused, leaning against a crumbling wall for support, and took a deep, ragged breath.

The silence was deafening, the only sound the distant rumble of something unidentifiable. It could have been the remains of the world settling, or something more sinister stalking him through the ruins.

He pushed himself away from the wall and continued his trek, his eyes searching the horizon for the telltale spires of the castle he knew would be there. The castle he had sworn to protect, the castle that had become a symbol of hope in the face of unspeakable evil.

The journey was arduous, his body protesting with every step, but he had to keep moving.

Mario stumbled through the streets, his eyes scanning the horizon for the castle that had once been a bastion of hope. Now, it loomed over the city like a grim sentinel, a stark reminder of the fate that had befallen them all.

As he approached the castle gates, now twisted and melted, the sounds grew louder. The ground trembled beneath his feet, and the air grew thick with the acrid scent of something burning.

He forced his legs to move faster, ignoring the pain, driven by a primal instinct to find shelter and answers. The castle doors lay open, beckoning him into the bowels of the once-majestic fortress.

Inside, the grandeur of the castle was replaced by the horrors of battle. The walls were scarred by claw marks, the floor littered with the charred remains of his former enemies. The once-cheerful banners hung in tatters, the only color a sickly, charred black.

The castle was eerily quiet, the only sound of his own breathing echoing through the corridors. He moved carefully, his heart pounding in his chest. The rhythmic beats of his heart mixed with the sounds of his footsteps against the marble floors of the castle, creating a haunting melody of life amidst destruction.

Mario stumbled into what was once the grand hall, now a shell of its former self. The stained glass windows were shattered, casting shards of color across the floor that shimmered in the dim light. The throne, where Peach had once sat, was a blackened mess, the velvet cushions reduced to ashes.

He finally collapsed, the pain in his legs too much to bear.

The sight of the destruction brought back a flood of memories, memories of battles fought and friends lost. The echoes of their laughter and the warmth of their embraces seemed so distant now. He had failed them all.

Mario closed his eyes, and for a moment, he was back in the hospital room, the feeling of Luigi's hand in his.

Then, he was back in the fiery mess.

Once more, the familiar sight of the white hospital walls were seen, and the warmth of Peach's lips on his forehead was felt.

Yet, it was all just a memory, a flicker in the abyss of his consciousness that had been his reality moments ago. Mario's eyes snapped open, the starkness of the hospital room returning to the atmosphere of the destroyed castle, leaving him breathless and disoriented.

He mustered up the strength to lift his head, and glance up at the throne. The throne that he could’ve shared with Peach. The one where he would sit on, and rule over the kingdom that he loved so dearly.

Almost as dearly as how much he loved his brother, or better yet, his love.

But alas-- Mario supposed that it was just a Lost Memory.

Guess which game I just finished!!!

Brothership. Very good game. Have quite a lot of thoughts about it.

I'm thinking about doing a series on it like I did with the previous two M&L games. But I'm worried about recency bias and wonder if I should let it sit for a bit. I also acquired PM: TTYD recently and am interested in trying out that game and doing a series on it.

(Paper Jam is on a hiatus due to laptop issues and me being stuck on the Larry & Ludwig fight. Stupid battle cards...)

If you were the wedding planner of a Luiasy wedding how would you arrange it? What would the location be? What would the theme of the wedding be? And what extras would you add towards the outfits of the bride and groom?

Aaaaahhh this took me forever to get to 😭 @kelbreyworshipper I’ll be real with you, when you sent me this ask, I was walking to my chem final, and I read your prompt and I was like “ummmmm 😳”

Buuut I think it’s safe to say I had enough time to cook, plus it was a fun challenge, so I hope you enjoy this! It's pretty long, so read at your own pace hehe

@peaches2217 (hopefully this lifts your spirits <3) @vulpixfairy1985 @itsavee4117 @supergay-64 @pepperycar @silenzahra, I think you guys may also like this! And @artycomicfangirl you as well!

First of all, I’ve chosen this day in particular to post the becaaauuuseeee…

Today (or yesterday wherever you are) is/was the one-year anniversary of my very first Luaisy drawing! BOY how far we’ve come. Now without further ado…

= LUAISY WEDDING =

This wedding was months in the making. Peach and Mario self-appointed themselves (even though it was obvious from the get-go) to the maid of honor and best man, so they worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect and better.

Each Mario lady had an essential part to play in this wedding:

Peach Maid of honor. Her role was to find the best venue for the wedding and send out invites to the Mushroom Kingdom and the other kingdoms within Sarasaland. But Peach being Peach with her overenthusiasm for weddings, carried 95% of the wedding planning and wedding day on her back. Of course, everyone gave her her flowers in the end. Mario definitely made sure she knew she was appreciated

Daisy was a 5'11" sack of nerves for her wedding, so Peach took it in her hands to calm her down, assuring her that it was completely normal to feel that way, and had to keep reminding her of how much Luigi loved her and that he wants this as much as she does. She also reminded Daisy that she should be elated because this is her special day. Peach would know all about it. ;)

Peach ran through the wedding, had multiple (maybe more than needed) rehearsals, and coordinated the wedding dinner that Daisy and Luigi would have.

Pauline Bridesmaid, wedding designer, and performer. I headcanon Pauline to be the most fluent in fashion and designing among the Mario ladies, and it was her who Peach took sewing up. Peach invited Pauline to a lot of her and Daisy's shopping trips for wedding dresses, getting her advice on what would suit her and Luigi's taste for their wedding day.

Pauline also performed at their wedding, doing solo performances, and then concluding with her band.

Rosalina Bridesmaid and vow writer. Even though Rosa is not a woman of many words, when she does have something to say, people are listening.

Out of the ladies, she's the biggest bookworm, spending time in her observatory reading and writing when she can. This makes her an amazing poet. All her close friends find it hard to believe that she doesn't have a significant other. She has shared some of her poems with her friends, and it was a wonder how none of them fell in love with her.

But Daisy called her up (or down) to help her write her vows, and Rosa was more than happy to help. She helped her organize her thoughts and feelings for Luigi and what their relationship truly meant to her. Rosa also helped to plan, outline, revise, and maybe wrote some parts of it herself.

She oversaw all parts of the writing process, yet, when Daisy recited those words back to Luigi on their wedding day, she reacted as if it were her very first time hearing it; tears in her eyes and hands clasped together. She was so proud.

Toadette Bridesmaid and master chef. And even better... free of charge! She was cooking up a storm with the help of other Toad chefs for Daisy and Luigi's special day. The two still provided her and her crew a very generous tip (Luigi is loaded here).

=====

Mario

Best man. With Mario and Luigi, it was pretty much the same story with Peach and Daisy, except Luigi was ten times worse. It took Mario a great deal of effort and convincing Luigi to not call off the wedding, just because of the mere thought of Daisy possibly having second thoughts.

Mario did everything a typical best man would do at a wedding and more, making sure everything was in order, and not a single detail was out of place. Right before, during, and after the wedding, he used at least 3 full rolls of tissue paper.

Another thing on the performance line-up... I'm gonna go ahead and yoink @silenzahra's musician bros hc and say that Mario does a surprise performance for Luigi and Daisy. It’s a song that is a testament to his and Luigi’s bond, which obviously immediately gets Luigi choked up.

As Mario was singing and playing the guitar, it felt so wrong for Mario to be singing their song on his own, so Luigi joined him on the stage, grabbing a mic left behind from Pauline's band group and singing alongside him. Cue forehead touches, and lots of hugging, crying, and ‘I love you’s.

====

Wedding Location and Theme

I 100% believe that their wedding would take place outside. Daisy and Luigi wanted a large, open space with a nice landscape view with not too many manmade buildings. So uh, Brooklyn was out of the question, not that they minded. Daisy decided to make use of the Chai Kingdom (one of the four Kingdoms in Sarasaland) and its naturistic feel.

And then the post-wedding dinner and performances would all take place here:

(Basically, just imagine all of this but green and orange-themed lol)

As for the theme, I feel that they’d go with a fairytale-themed wedding! That, or a forest-themed wedding; green and orange are earthy colors, so I want their wedding to reflect that.

Again, yoinking @silenzahra's Luigi the bookworm hc, I’d like to think that one of the ways Luigi and Daisy grew closer was from reading together, and the National Book Days in Sarasaland. Once Daisy got more into reading, Luigi encouraged her to venture out in her castle’s library and find some genres that she liked. They both noticed that she seemed to gravitate towards stories that were more adventure-packed, as well as fairytales, mythological, and fictional stories. Daisy has a very active imagination and loves otherworldly visuals, so Luigi was more than happy to incorporate that into their wedding theme.

The bridesmaids and maid of honor are decked in golden dresses (for ya girl), and the groomsmen and best man are decked in emerald green (for ya boy). For the wedding guests’ attire… there is not a single trace of black to be found! The wedding looked like a rainbow that threw up all the colors in the visible spectrum.

====

Have some drawings of the important people! (and my wacky attempt to shade gold material)

Bridesmaids: Pauline and Rosalina

To honor Pride Month… let’s just say Rosa is looking for that special someone… right beside her ;)

Lumas

I’m adding the Lumas (plus Lumalee of course!) to be the flower children! The wedding would be decked with 75-100 lumas of all different colors and purposes. They would be the ambiance for the wedding, especially when the sun sets, and at nighttime. The wedding would still use fairy lights in case the Lumas didn't cooperate (was never an issue). But... just imagine dozens of bright moving lights with sparkles trailing behind them in the night sky.

Groomsmen, Ring Bearer, Maid of Honor and Best Man (tumblr has me on a pic limit here 😮‍💨): Wario, Waluigi, and Toad; Yoshi; Mario and Peach

Yeah, Wario and Waluigi were invited, as long as they promised to behave. And if not, Daisy and her family will set em straight… and Mario if they even dare think about ruining his baby brother’s day. The two weren’t so fond of the dress code at first, but they sucked it up. Eventually, emerald green grew on them.

Wario: I look like a leprechaun!

Waluigi: Wah! How bad can this possibly be? (Iykyk)

Also, the tie Mario is wearing was handcrafted by Luigi when they were kids. ;’)

And of course…

Bride and Groom: Daisy and Luigi

She on dem high heels 🤭

I also really wanted to draw Daisy’s dad sending her off. I absolutely LOVE @itsavee4117’s interpretation of him (aka King “Marshmallow” Cris), so I’m yoinking him here toooo~

Post-Wedding

Like I said earlier, plenty of food will be provided by Toadette and her crew, and there will be endless games. They would mostly be Mario Party-styled, but there would also be some sports like tennis or mini-golf. That all happens after the newlyweds have their dance and cake. Let’s just say for an itty-bitty second of time, they recreate the dance of all dances.

After all the fun has been had, the two are driven into the moonlight by Toadsworth with a “JUST HITCHED” sign on the back of his Parade Kart from MK Double Dash. They’d be transported in this very familiar fashion.

;)

====

And that’s it! Hopefully I didn’t make the wedding seem too boring or sane for them, or made anything out of character for them. I know I did a lot more than you asked for, but I had way too much fun with it lol. Wanted to do our beloveds justice to the fullest. Let me know what you guys think, and feel free to add on to it!

I'm sorry that I didn't get to read this in time, but I sincerely enjoyed it! There's so much love and sweetness and care here, my God 🥹❤️💚

First of all, poor Mario pushing himself to NOT sleep as he needed to make sure his brother was okay and would rather spend the nights awake and watching him... Mario, my God, you NEED to sleep 😭 Thank God he at least could do so in the nights Luigi would ask for cuddles. Gosh these two 🥺 Only being able to sleep soundly when they're together, I just— I need a moment... 😭

I LOVED all the part of Mario preparing Luigi's gift and asking Peach for help, and I adored the little scene between the two! Of course Luigi would tease his bro 🤭 And awwww Mario's present was so sweet and tender, and it also sounds so comfy! Luigi deserves it indeed 🥹 And not him saying it feels like a hug from Mario, oh my GOD 😭💚❤️

And then... the mirror.

THE MIRROR.

My friend, the way I SQUEALED when I read that part. Mario gifting it to Luigi and then Luigi turning it to Mario, only for Mario to remind Luigi that he is, in fact, a hero... Gosh, the way these two love and admire each other always makes me so WEAK 😭😭😭

I feel so bad for poor Luigi though! I'd say, what happened to him with the mug he got for his brother could've happened to me too, so I completely understand how he feels 😢 Thank God Mario would be there to comfort him, and I loved the way Luigi comforted him back when Mario finally voiced his fears and nightmares...

The last scenes totally did not make me cry, oh God 🥹 I love how in your fics, the brothers are always feeling each other's heartbeat just to make sure the other is perfectly fine. It's just so tender and heartwarming... just like that last sentence from Mario, oh God 🥹 The way these two love each other, I can NEVER get over it 😭❤️💚

This was a wonderful read and a perfect way of celebrating our favorite brothers' birthday! Congrats for such a great story, my friend! 👏👏💖💖

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! 🎂

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. 💗

EDIT: Here’s the Doc! Bear with me, I’m new to multi-contributor files, but it should be open and ready for your contributions!

🌜 Super Mario Odyssey: post-ending headcanons 🌛

Today marks seven years since the release of my FAVORITE 3D Mario game:

🌜 Super Mario Odyssey 🌛

This game really means EVERYTHING to me, so I wanted to make a little something to commemorate this date. I have to admit I didn't have any ideas at first, but then I remembered what @pepperycar commented on this post... and was suddenly inspired 🤭 Thank you so much, my friend! I owe you this one 💖

So, here I bring you a few ideas that I had on what could have happened after the end of Super Mario Odyssey. There will be Mareach, brotherly love, and SPOILERS, so if you haven't finished this game yet: beware!! ⚠

(And please go play it because it's AWESOME.)

@vulpixfairy1985 @bberetd @megamagimugi @peaches2217 @keakruiser

@itsavee4117 @roscolate @smokszyvverstar @wahooitsamee @kelbreyworshipper I thought perhaps you might be interested, so I hope it's okay that I tag you 🥰 Of course, no worries if you're not! Feel free to ignore this post and please forgive me for bothering you 😅

Also, I took a bit of inspo from this adorable post that I remember reblogging from my old account. Please have a look if you haven't yet because it's absolutely CUTE 🥹

Without further ado... Let's-a go! ❤️

👑 Peach's wardrobe 👑

Princess Peach has a large and varied wardrobe. So far, Mario only remembers seeing her wearing her signature pink dresses, her favorite. She has several that are very similar to each other, with only a few small differences between them, such as puffed sleeves that her summer dress does not have, or an older design in which almost the entire skirt is a darker shade of pink. Peach always appears before him and his subjects wearing one of these outfits as pink is her favorite color, and one that, in Mario's opinion, suits her very well.

Recently, however, Mario has found that his beloved princess has a wide variety of outfits and has decided to start wearing them to visit the various kingdoms that Bowser has taken her to during her kidnapping, now that she finally has the freedom to choose where, when, and with whom to go.

And Mario loves to dress to match her.

The first time they did it, Mario ran into Peach and her friend Tiara almost by accident as she, as brave as ever, explored the lonely Forgotten Isle in an outfit worthy of Indiana Jones himself. Shorts, a backpack on her back, boots prepared for the earthy soil of the place... and her hair in a bun that was hidden under her explorer's cap.

Mario didn't take half a second to run back to his Odyssey ship and put on his own explorer's outfit to join her and continue exploring the island together.

When he met her in New Donk City, Peach was wearing one of Mario's favorite outfits of all the ones he had seen her in so far: a long pink flying skirt that, unlike her dresses, left her feet exposed; a gorgeous white blouse with a scarf around her neck, in a pastel pink shade that matched her pristine skin; and a wide hat over her abundant blonde hair. She looked beautiful and very comfortable, and the best part: she loved the black suit with matching fedora that Mario put on to go with Peach’s outfit. She told him he looked very elegant, and Mario thought his smile would overflow on both sides of his face since his cheeks hurt so much.

To him, on the other hand, the one who looked tremendously stylish and graceful was Peach when he met her in Bonneton. Her attire was dark, composed of a grayish coat, black stockings and gloves of the same color, which she combined with a beret that adorned her long hair. Mario kept watching her for a while, unable to help it, and he did the same thing when he met her in Shiveria, since the black and gold of her figure stood out among so much blinding white.

On that occasion, Mario felt that he’d never measure up to her with his orange, quilted coat, as opposed to Bonneton, where he was able to look at least a bit elegant with his black tuxedo, his red bow tie and a top hat that gave him the look of a magician. Or, at least, that's what she told him, while letting out a giggle that made Mario think of the softest and sweetest crystal bells.

Another one of his favorite outfits for the princess was her farmer attire, which was the one she chose to wear to visit the Luncheon Kingdom. Mario wasn’t surprised to find her picking turnips to help the locals prepare their famous soup, as it wasn’t the first time he’d seen her pulling vegetables from the ground. When she saw him dressed in his chef's outfit, she immediately applauded him and prepared to hand over the vegetables to him, thus naming him the official in charge of preparing the delicious best dish of the kingdom.

As for the last three outfits the princess has worn, Mario is unable to choose, as all three have provoked various sensations in him that made him wish he could stare at her forever, without having any other worries or mission to carry out. The Yukata with the fire flower pattern was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of them, a beautiful and lovely vision that gave him back some vitality and joy when he ran into Peach in Bowser's Kingdom. He, as bold as brass, put on his samurai outfit, ready to defend her from any evil, and she, always so demure, covered her face with her hand-held fan to hide a soft giggle. Still, watching her hair pulled back in a ponytail and the Boo-shaped buckle adorning her head, Mario knew he’d never measure up to her.

And he felt the same way when, while strolling along Bubblaine Beach and enjoying the coolness of the water with his doggy friend, he found her there, wearing that pretty white sarong adorned with pink power moons, the sunglasses on her blonde head... and that bikini that exposed more porcelain skin than Mario had ever seen. He felt completely ridiculous in his red swimsuit with white polka dots and wanted to sink to the depths of the crystal-clear waters of the kingdom just to prevent her from seeing him like that.

However, that couldn't overcome how stupid and embarrassed Mario felt when, just after rescuing her from Bowser's clutches, he got caught up in an absurd competition with the king of the Koopas to try to get Peach to agree to marry him. They may have both been wearing the perfect outfits, Peach in her beautiful white dress that made her look like an angel and him in his tuxedo of the same color and matching hat.

But Mario realized too late that this was not the right moment.

Still, he is content to have had the opportunity, albeit brief, to stand next to Peach while they both wore what would possibly be their wedding outfits. Mario knows that this will never happen again, that it’ll never come true, because the idea of trying to propose again wouldn’t even cross his mind. It took him a long time to forgive himself for his huge blunder, even though it took Peach only a few minutes to do so, and he’d never be able to be at peace with himself if he bothered her again.

Peach's friendship is very precious to Mario. He loves to meet her on his travels and share a few moments with her, full of fun and trust, which he wishes he could extend in time forever. In addition, on more than one occasion, Peach has asked him to accompany her to Lake Lemonade to make a new dress, and sometimes she has also invited Toad and Luigi. The people there are experts in haute couture, and Mario is always spellbound as he watches Peach pose for the seamstresses, who, in a matter of minutes, are able to create a new dress for her, each one more beautiful than the last.

And, on each occasion, Peach always turns on herself so that the dress can be appreciated in all its splendor, making her look more dazzling than a star and more radiant than the sun itself.

🎈 Balloon Brothers🎈

Shortly after he saved Peach, Mario made two decisions when he continued to travel the kingdoms on his Odyssey ship. The first one was to adopt his loyal doggy friend, the clever Shiba that has helped him find so many power moons during his adventure. He named her Hattie, as she adores wearing a hat on her head no matter where they travel to, and also because her favorite game is chasing after Mario's cap and bring it back to him.

And the second one, as soon as he ran into Luigi for the first time, was that he'd always play Balloon World with him.

Every world he travels to, whatever his purpose or the mission that takes him there, Mario always has time for his little brother and loves to play Balloon World with him. He adores seeing his sibling so cheerful and excited, and the way he claps and cheers him on always causes Mario’s unstoppable energy to soar and his heart to melt with tenderness.

In Fossil Falls, Luigi was so scared of the T-Rex that organizing the game for Mario served as a distraction and a way for him to release some stress, something Mario was extremely relieved about. In Forgotten Isle, the same bird that had captured Cappy was threatening to pop the balloons that kept Luigi in the air and that were an essential part of his outfit as the game organizer, which only motivated Mario to chase the darned bird with the help of his loyal Hattie, until, at last, and to the relief of both brothers and Cappy, he managed to scare it away.

However, as soon as Mario ran into Luigi in the Snow Kingdom, shivering with cold in his shirtsleeves, but still smiling at his brother and inviting him to play while hugging himself, Mario did not hesitate for a moment: he hurried to get rid of his orange coat and, ignoring Luigi's faint protests, threw it over his twin, taking care not to accidentally pop his balloons. Despite his initial reluctance, Luigi couldn't help but close his eyes as he snuggled into the garment, trying to get warm, and Mario, his heart shrinking, hugged him with all his might as he gently rubbed his arms and back. Luigi cuddled up to him and Mario stroked his hair gently, his mind flooded with memories of when they were both little and Luigi would run to hide in his bed because he thought there was a monster under his bed. Sighing as he held his sibling in his arms, trying to shield him from the cold and icy drafts, Mario didn't agree to play until after he had taken Luigi inside his ship to wrap him in a blanket and offer him a hot drink to warm up inside.

Nevertheless, the opposite thing happened in Tostarena: Luigi, always determined to stay true to his original outfit as the game's creator, was too warm for the scorching desert heat. Before playing Balloon World, Mario decided that his little brother needed a change to feel more comfortable. So he grabbed him by the hand and pulled him into the shop. Luigi had to bend down so that his balloons could go in with him, and Mario immediately tried to convince him to, like him, put on a typical costume of the land, poncho and wide hat included, to feel comfier while they played there. His twin resisted a little, always wanting to maintain the elegance a game show host should always display, but when Mario assured him that he could keep his green bow tie, Luigi finally gave in. And, seeing them both in matching outfits, Mario also managed to convince his brother to play Balloon World together, to which Luigi agreed only after gifting him one of his balloons for Mario to wear on his wrist.

And they've done it many more times since then: in Peronza Plaza, in Bonneton, in New Donk City... even on the Moon! Also, whenever they play in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Toads join them and Luigi ends up giving them as many balloons as possible so they can have fun playing on their own, being the kind-hearted person he is.

Of course, Mario is well aware that his sibling knows the locations of the balloons, being the organizer of Balloon World, but he equally enjoys touring the various worlds with his little brother by the hand, dragging him along while Luigi floats after him and simply lets himself go. Mario’s heart sings for joy with every laugh that escapes his twin’s throat, especially when Hattie also joins the fun and runs with them in search for the balloon, only to pop it as soon as they do. Mario also loves the way Luigi guides him, or often misleads him, to make his search for the balloon easier or more complicated. Mario likes to be challenged by the game and Luigi knows it, so he appreciates it when his brother tries to trick him to divert him from his initial goal. This lengthens the game, as well as the time the brothers spend together, thus increasing the fun.

However, when it's time to say goodbye, Mario can read in his brother's face that he’s just as reluctant to part with him as Mario himself. His complicated missions through the kingdoms and, also, the longing to be reunited with Peach and spend some time with her as well have caused Mario to have to leave his brother's side without really wanting to, his soul screaming in the depths of his being that he should not do so, that he should turn back and return to Luigi's side.

When the same thing happens to him in the Moon Kingdom, Mario finally stops before entering his ship and turns on his heels. He sees Luigi raise his head, confused to see him turn around, and the surprise on his face only grows when Mario starts running towards him, although a little slower than he’d like due to the moon's gravity. A smile breaks out on Mario's face as he speeds up as fast as he can, and he stretches out his arms as he approaches his little brother. Luigi barely has time to open his arms as well before Mario pounces on him.

Luigi's gasp causes Mario to burst out laughing as he spins around with his brother in his arms, holding him tightly. It takes him a few seconds to realize that both of them are now floating in the air, propelled not only by Luigi's balloons, but also by the lack of gravity prevailing on the moon. His sibling clings to him as he laughs shyly, and Mario pulls away from him a second before his feet touch down again.

Holding Luigi's hands tightly and energetically, Mario offers him to board his Odyssey ship and accompany him on his travels, so that they can continue playing Balloon World together as his adventure progresses. And, perhaps, Luigi could also help him during their missions, just like in the old days, when they visited faraway realms, such as Pi’illo Island or the Beanbean Kingdom, and even became partners in time.

As he speaks, Mario is very aware that his eyes are shining, full of excitement. His whole face must be, in fact, as euphoria bubbles up inside him like a river of unstoppable lava. He’s unable to keep completely still, so he inadvertently shakes his hands and, with them, those of his brother, as he explains his idea to him. And his enthusiasm undoubtedly rubs off on his twin, as Mario can read in Luigi's blue eyes, identical to his own, which are filling with a special glow that can only mean he shares Mario's eagerness.

And so it was that the brothers began to travel together.

✨ The Golden Trio ✨

In some of their first trips together, when the brothers are about to play Balloon World, Peach meets them and becomes a spectator of their games. Luigi welcomes her with open arms and quickly explains to her what Mario has to do, and while his brother is searching, Luigi reveals in whispers to the princess where the balloon his twin is looking for is hidden.

Although, at first, Mario is a little embarrassed that Peach is going to watch him while he searches, he quickly decides that he must do everything he can to impress her, so he puts more effort into finding the balloon quickly and on his own, despite Hattie's attempts to help him. Whenever he succeeds, Luigi praises him enthusiastically and gives him a big hug, which Mario reciprocates joyfully and heartily. Peach, after applauding him a little more demurely, leans over to place a kiss on his nose, causing Mario's whole face to light up until it looks redder than his shirt. This always happens under the watchful eye of Luigi, who doesn't miss the chance to give his sibling a playful nudge while trying to silence his giggles, causing Mario's blush to increase.

However, the third time Peach meets the brothers, Luigi has the idea of inviting her to participate in the game, which he eagerly puts to her. Both she and Mario are delighted, and Luigi immediately rearranges the game so that Mario and Peach can play in competition against each other.

Of course, respect and friendship prevail in the game. Mario continues to play as usual, but Peach often beats him, as she’s quick and smart, and he can only admire her more and more every time this happens. In fact, he’d say that he enjoys the occasions when the princess beats him the most, as he loves to see her so happy and enjoying herself when playing with him. Needless to say, even though Luigi is a most enthusiastic audience, Mario is the one who always applauds Peach the most, which makes her blush, something that doesn't happen to her when she thanks Luigi's compliments.

When the game is preparing to take place for the fifth time since Mario and Peach started playing together, Mario can't help but notice the way his brother is wringing his hands and fiddling with his fingers as he watches them. The game is about to begin, but he can't take his eyes off Luigi. He can read his face like an open book, something that has happened practically since they were born... and he doesn't like what he sees.

It's not that Luigi is sad. He's happy to be with them and eager to see them play Balloon World again. He's ready to cheer them both on and shower them with praise, as always, for, after all, his little brother is one of the sweetest and gentlest people he knows.

However, Mario can see in his gestures, in the way he bites his lower lip, in the way he fiddles with his own hands, in the way his eyes sparkle, that Luigi misses being able to join the game despite knowing the location of the balloons beforehand.

So even though Luigi gives the start command just a second later, Mario doesn't move.

And it pleases him greatly to realize that Peach, next to him, hasn't moved either.

When he turns his face towards her, Peach does the same. Mario barely needs a few seconds to realize that the princess, always as perceptive and as concerned about Luigi as he is, almost as if she were some sort of big sister to him, has also noticed the longing that shines in his little brother's eyes.

The two hold each other's gaze for a moment before smiling determinedly and giving one another a mutual nod. In unison, the two turn to Luigi, who looks from one to the other, his face the spitting image of bewilderment. As he and Peach start walking towards the game organizer, Mario can't help but let out a laugh in anticipation of what's about to happen, and he hears Peach let out a small giggle next to him that only makes his heart swell.

Decisively, they both hold Luigi, each with one hand, and Mario puts his other arm around Luigi's shoulders while Peach wraps her free arm around the younger plumber’s back. Luigi doesn't understand anything, but he doesn't resist, since, of course, he trusts them completely. Peach and Mario start walking while dragging him along, and the princess proclaims that, by royal order, Luigi must play Balloon World with them. This finally gets Luigi to relax and even laugh, and Mario feels his little brother squeeze his hand as he and the princess laugh together.

For a moment, Mario simply watches them. His heart fills with joy whenever he sees them getting along so well. He loves that Luigi has found in Peach a friend he can trust and be himself with, and he loves that the princess, in each of their interactions, shows that she truly cares about Luigi's well-being and wants only the best for him.

And he just loves them both so much that his heart could burst.

He couldn’t live without either of them.

When the game concludes, shortly before the brothers return to the Odyssey ship, Mario summons the courage to offer Peach to join them. That way, the three of them could travel together, keep each other company and help one another in their adventures, and they’ll always have the chance to play Balloon World together.

As he speaks, however, it occurs to Mario that perhaps he should have consulted Luigi before inviting Peach, so he throws a sidelong glance at his brother to try to apologize to him without words.

But Luigi, ever so sweet and kind, ever the man with the purest heart, is nodding eagerly as he hears his brother speak, and as soon as Mario concludes, Luigi turns to Peach and takes her hands while expressing how much he’d love for her to join them. Mario can't and won't hold back the look of intense love and adoration he gives his twin as he talks to the princess. Who, of course, gladly accepts.

Thus, Mario, Luigi and Peach, accompanied by the inseparable and always loyal Hattie, Cappy and Tiara, embark on the Odyssey to a new world. And, as they travel, the three of them look out the window, Mario and Luigi with their hands on the glass and looking at the clouds with excitement, and the princess, with a hand resting on the shoulder of each of the brothers as she joins in their excitement at the sight they are contemplating.

Their adventure has only just begun.
