Don't ask me about my day, only ask me about my SMB/SPM fanfics...

~~~~~~~~

Bowser tilts his head. “Your brother? You mean Greenie? What, he’s good with machines or something?”

Mario laughs. It’s absurd, given the amount of time they’ve spent together, that the topic never came up. He’s almost reticent to share the information with the Koopa King, wary Bowser might take the intel back with him after all was said and done, somehow find a way to exploit this tidbit for personal gain.

Two weeks ago, it would have been a legitimate concern. But now, the chances of them living through this adventure seem to be dwindling with each passing hour, the line between enemy and friend, once so clear in Mario’s mind, blurring to the point of non-existence. 

“Yeah, something like that,” Mario says. “He was going to be a mechanical engineer before we landed in the Mushroom Kingdom. Was always tinkering with some machine or vehicle when we were young.” God, Luigi had gotten into so much trouble the day he popped open the hood of their father’s repair van. 

“Huh,” Bowser crosses his arms, contemplating this new information. A moment later, he does a double-take, jaw hanging slightly open with whatever epiphany he’s just reached. “Wait, you mean into mechanics like that asshole we fought in the Whoa Zone?” Bowser takes his chin in his hand. “I thought he looked familiar.”

Ok but hear me out:

Charlie Day putting on this kind of performance for Mr L

[galaxygermdraws]

so instead of get back into art after the basic recovery of my surgery, I instead replayed Mario and Luigi Partners in Time…and why does nobody talk about this game?? Hardly ever see it in the Super Mario tag. Like. It’s actually insane how dark it gets. People die. Like actually die. Not as dark as SPM but like we see the dead spirits of Toads get siphoned through tubes. They had their life force sucked out of them via genetically modified trees. Yoshis were eaten by a larger alien Yoshi and were gonna be turned into more alien Yoshis via a factory IN THE GIANT ALIEN YOSHI. We see a town that’s literally just “Christmas is Cancelled” the city. Their mayor probably died. We never see these places restored because there are no survivors to restore them. The citizens of Hollijolli village probably all died by the time the bros shut down the Vim factory. And also there’s the entire scene with the Star Gate. Like. Hello??

maybe I’ll stream or let’s play this game and share it here because I think. More ppl should talk about Partners in Time. I’ll say it too: I like it more than Bowser’s Inside Story. By like a LOT. That’s my ramble for the night. Ttyd day tomorrow. Yippee

Dimentio regrets ending Mr. L's game, and he attempts to get him back. But things go wrong.

[chaos-love-au]

Part 4 is out on AO3!!

Dimentio continues with his plan, he will get Mr. L back, no matter the cost.

[camprell-art]

possible angst idea-- Dimmy waxing poetry for someone, perhaps Mimi or O'Chunks, but it's just Dim reciting pre-existing poetry ((or it's inspired by pre-existing poetry)) it's all a show, and the words aren't his, but oh does he make them sound pretty~ ((your design of Dimmy has infected my silly brain, he's too pretty for his own good.))

He just wishes he knew what these dreams mean

more commentary about this in the tags because I'm dumb

[kogglyuffs]

carnival homies~

[illdothehotvoice]

They should have put me on Paper Jam I could have done so much for that game dshgjknfdh

[yawnderex]

It’ll be okay…

(Just felt like drawing this cause yes)

I was rolling around this post in my brain, considering the manhole cover-shield scene and I had this...thought about a fun, semi-angsty off-screen scenario after the general hullabaloo from Bowser's incursion into Brooklyn has calmed down.

We know from the movie that Mario is injured during the final fight with Bowser, that he had a plethora of cuts and nasty bruises that would need attention. We also know from the movie that Luigi, our unhinged king, picked up a metal manhole cover to block fire.

Basic science would tell us that this manhole cover likely reached some excruciating temperatures rather quickly, and that Luigi's gloves/outfit (which, considering their junked-up van), were probably not the highest quality. Meaning, I have a feeling our green hero might have accumulated a few burn injuries and, given what we know about his character, might have neglected to say anything about this.

Anyway, cue Mario and Luigi getting ready for bed after the whole crazy day, and Luigi, who is so tired he isn't even thinking about what he's doing at this point, absently changing into his sleeping shirt. That's when Mario notices the burn marks. That's when Mario freaks out like the highly protective older brother he is.

Stupidity jakdjks

I don't know where the dialogue is from 😅, I only know that I found it in one of my old drawings (the dialogue was in Spanish) but I'd love to know where it is from... But hey it looks perfect with these gay ass men

1 <<< 9 / END

:)))

I'm so glad i finally finished this one. I was rewatching one of my favourite animes and felt like I HAD to do this. It was just too perfect fpr Super Paper Mario. I'd recommend watching Kaiba, but it's an extremely existential anime with mature themes that are NOT child friendly despite its soft appearance.

I hope y'all enjoyed this angsty journey and expect more if I get any more ideas huehuehuehue

[captainshyguy]

its because theyre the closest thing the fandom has to twinks and fandoms explode if they cant ship two little skinny guys or something

I finished Super Paper Mario earlier today for the first time after 16 years of owning and adoring the game and

I have a question for any Limentio / Dimigi shippers out there.

Why

[chaos-love-au]

Failure.

Summary: Dimentio regrets ending Mr. L's game, and he attempts to get him back. But things go wrong.

---

Dimentio didn't move, his eyes were fixated on the spot Mr. L stood in.

“Wh-why did I do this…” he whispered, a pained sob escaped his mouth.

He fell to his knees, the pain spread in his mind, it wasn't going to go away any time soon.

Mr. L was dead, gone. And it was no one's fault but Dimentio's, he knew that well.

“I-i..” he attempted to collect his thoughts.

“I need..” he took a shaky breath, “I need to speak with Queen Jaydes…”

He slowly got up, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

He began walking towards the door, but something crunched under his feet. Small pieces of a magical material.

“My mask…” he collected what's left of it, and placed it in a hidden pocket.

He started floating, just a few inches above the ground. He floated away, using the door.

Now that his mask was destroyed, he had to make another stop before going to retrieve L.

---

“Dimentio! How are you? It's been so long!” A small shadow creature cheered, approaching the jester.

“Hello, Shadoo. I hope you've been well..” Dimentio nodded.

“You alright? You're never without your mask. And you sound… depressed.” Shadoo tilted her head.

“Depressed? No. Just… a mess. Have you met the heros yet?”

“The heros? Of the light Prognosticus? No, I haven't.. have you?” Shadoo seemed curious.

“Indeed I have, they're quite strong. I suggest sending your minions out, they will visit soon, I can assure you of that.” Dimentio chuckled softly.

“I will, no need to worry. Now, enough catching up, we all know you don't come to visit without a reason.” She jumped in place.

Dimentio sighed, “yes… I'm here to request your help creating a new mask. You're the only creature that knows how to create the material.”

“Hmm.. alright.”

“If you would like payment, the heros have defeated Fracktail, and he is laying lifeless in the sand.”

“Oh! Very nice…” Shadoo turned to a door behind her. “The stuff’s there. Be quick.”

“Thank you, little sister, I appreciate this more than I can express.”

Shadoo nodded.

Dimentio quickly entered the room and gathered everything he needed. With the wave of his hand, a new, identical mask was created. He placed it on his face.

“So much better…” he smiled, his mask smiling with him.

He left the room.

“Looking fabulous as always, Dimmy.” Shadoo laughs.

“Heh.. thank you. I shall continue my plans now. Will I see you tomorrow for dinner?” He smiled at his sister.

“Of course!” Shadoo jumped again, happy.

Dimentio teleported away.

---

Queen Jaydes smiled at Mario as he walked through the door to return Luvbi to the Overthere.

“Your majesty! How wonderful to see you again!” Dimentio called as he teleported into the room.

“Dimentio… weren't you banished?” The queen sighed.

“Ha! That's true, but I'm back for a small visit!” He laughed.

“What do you want? I don't exactly deal with outlaws of the realm.”

“I need someone out of here. He ended up here by an… accident.. and he has unfinished business in the living world.”

“And why should I release him? There is not a single reason I should believe you.” Queen Jaydes crossed her hands.

“His name is Luigi, and he's the one in charge of the world's fate.”

“He just left with his brother.”

“No!” Dimentio yelled involuntarily. He cleared his throat. “Uh. That was not a wise decision. His brother is-”

“The hero of the Light Prognosticus. I've made my decision. You're not getting him. And I suggest you leave my realm, unless you want to spend the rest of your afterlife in the most well-guarded dungeon in the Underwhere.” she hissed.

Dimentio scoffed, “you'll pay for this, Queen Jaydes!”

“I'm sure.” She replied, sarcastic.

Dimentio teleported away.

“No, no, Mimi! Ye need teh wear more white!” O’Chunks shook his head.

“But I hate white dresses!” Mimi frowned.

“But it look good, Hen, white goes well wit’ green.”

“urgh! What do you know!?” Mimi grabbed the pile of dresses from the table and angrily left to her room.

O’Chunks sighed with a smile, “weird lass…” he mumbled before turning back to his drawing.

Dimentio floated in through the window, visibly weak.

“Oof. You alri’t?” Chunks turned to face him.

“Shut up.” Dimentio hissed, moments before collapsing onto the floor.

“Ooh no!” O’Chunks scooped him from the floor, “Nastasia! Dim's passed out!” he called.

Nastasia's heels clicked on the floor as she rushed into the room, “what happened?”

“I don’ know, he just got ‘ere”

Nastasia sighed, “put him in his room, k? In his bed.”

O’Chunks nodded and ran to Dimentio's room, holding onto him tightly.

Nastasia watched as they left the room, “there is no way this was the heros’ doing…” she noted to herself before leaving as well.

---

Dimentio opened his eyes, very slowly gaining back consciousness.

“You're awake! Are you okay? Chunks said you just passed out!” Mimi sat next to Dimentio's bed.

“Ah.. oh…” Dimentio barely processed her words.

“Don't move, you could be badly hurt… was this the ‘heros’? Did you fight them? Is that why Mr. L is gone? Did he go with you?” Mimi questioned.

Dimentio froze at the mention of Mr. L. “M-Mr. L…” he mumbled.

“Yes.. where is he?” Mimi asked.

“He…” Dimentio didn't want to answer that. Especially not while he was still recovering from the hit his head got when he passed out.

Mimi was silent, she was waiting for Dimentio to finish his sentence.

“He's gone…” he hated to admit it, but he had to tell the truth, even if it was only part of it. Mimi deserved it, she was very close to Mr. L.

Mimi gasped, “wh-what?! No! You're lying!”

“I-it's true.. I'm sorry, Mimi.” he closed his eyes, he didn't want to stain the mask with his tears.

“No!” She ran off crying.

Dimentio’s useless struggles to get up were painful. He felt… powerless. Pathetic. He lost Mr. L. And now, he won't be able to fight the heros.

“Perhaps returning to the Underwhere was not very smart…” he thought.

There was shouting from outside the room, Mimi was upset.

“I'm so sorry…” Dimentio sat up straight, tears flowing from behind his mask.
