#weegie talks

[waterbottle2006]

loonngggg headcanon list because listen the mario universe has become my secret third oc universe and i didnt even make it but it works well with my au so....

i like to imagine dimentio and blumiere knew each other in the past as friends as well as timpani. to be honest, dim and timpani have a funny sibling bond. they just bicker like a sister and brother over whose the favorite child (its neither)

during the count bleck era, i can just envision count bleck having small conversations with himself. well, that's what it is to everyone else. but hes just reciting conversations he and timpani used to have prior to her supposed death.

dimentio is vegetarian. im dying on this hill.

toadsworth also needs toad advisors just for the fact that when it comes down to the princess he acts very irrational and cannot think right so he needs his emotional support toad posse

i did have written things for the world and how it works and by that i mean i fucked up the magic system. i am not sorry.

i honestly imagine mario has a lot more anxiety with public speaking than luigi. luigi can yap up a storm if you dare ask about his day but mario keeps it short and simple or doesn't talk at all. people think that hes cool and mysterious for this but he actually just can't muster up words to make conversation. (You can imagine how him trying to talk with Peach went)

i cannot write my headcanons coherently

*holds you at plastic knifepoint* tell me about micah? :3

OUGHHHH….,!,!! PUT THAT DOWN!!

Micah is the chosen one, destined to save the world, a task given to him by the God of Destiny. He was raised in a church and trained since birth to fight and be the perfect hero :) he dies tho, shifting the world into a bad timeline.

idk seeing people write for chibs, and the way they depict his accent always irks me a lil. the thing with tommy flanagan is he’s from easterhouse, and the accent here is different.

i beg people take advice on writing a proper weegie accent from weegie’s, because i’m tired of it being misrepresented 😶

[enbydemirainbowbigfoot]

Mario calls Luigi “Lu” usually, but when he’s scared- like really really scared- he’ll hide it and the only tell is that he switches from “Lu” to “Weegie”

Random question you've probably been asked before: how do you feel about Rayman appearing in a Mario + Rabbids DLC? I know not everyone enjoys the Rabbids, and for good reason haha, though it makes me curious about your opinion on it (also eyyy similar name buds! 👈😎👈)

HI LEXI!! AYYY similar name buds! 🤝🤝

WELL for me personally... i'm quite happy about it! because it seems like ubisoft has just kind of shoved rayman in a corner for the past near decade (ever since the release of rayman legends) and all they've done for him is make recycled mobile games based off of legends over. and over. and over. so having him back in the... sort-of spotlight is welcomed with open arms!

the rabbids branching off to their own franchise is something i'm definitely not a big fan of. makes me sad to see that ubisoft just kind of forgot about rayman after the rabbids took over. (also i'm mad at raving rabbids for robbing us of rayman 4 in favour of a wii party game smhsmhsmh)

having him back as dlc for a game starring the rabbids is extremely ironic though. y'all would be nowhere without this man and you demote him to a late game dlc... 😔😔😔

i'm very excited to see him again though!!! ❤❤❤ waiting over here impatiently for a year to pass LOL. i hope he gets to meet mario. i think they should be friends :)

Genuine question to everyone reblogging Batman's aff his nut - do you actually, genuinely think it's a good poem, or have you just been programmed by twitter to think that anything at all said in a weegie accent is the funniest thing on the planet

[starlitships-moved]

Question about your poke-player for Scarlet/Violet! What made you choose the red hair? It looks lovely, and I'm curious if there's a story/cute reason for it, or if red is just your favorite color haha!

I literally JUST switched to that hair color last time I played ^_^; ( I used to have the smokey purple hair for the longest time XD ) I was attempting to match colors with the rotoms in my team, like how some trainers in the games and anime do sometimes! There was no orange/ginger hair option, so I went with the red/scarlet color instead ^_^;

( And I probably won't keep this color for very long either... I jump all over the place with my hair colors in games XD )

so is no one else going to acknowledge that mrl feels like a fever dream we all experienced at once and now long to see that said fever dream again so that he can continue to ramble to us about his dumb machines and then tripping on his own shoelaces.

[agropuff]

the crane wives making me think about my ocs

What if I died.

[etclouie-rambles]

might just be me as a weegie, but see seeing other non scottish/non weegie’s give advice on how to write a scottish accent, it irks me.

like cheers for trying to help, but some of the time they’re way off and it just doesn’t make sense

also the whole pinning every scottish character speaks gaelic is so ??? to me, cause most don’t. even more so weegie’s

[toasty-self-shipping]

Well that was a vey interesting year

(Anon's other request I mentioned in this post)

⚡ Scared of thunderstorms

writing prompts

(takes place pre-Mario Movie verse)

Something cute with the young Mario Bros :)

- - -

"Luigi?", Mario whispered in the dark.

Little Luigi shivered under his bedsheets. He was huddled up so small that he was barely a recognisable lump.

Another crash of thunder sounded, followed by a flash of lightning.

Luigi shrieked again and sobbed even louder.

Mario frowned. And then the five year old quickly got up and walked over to his brother's bedside. He placed a hand gently over the shivering lump.

"Hey, it's ok", he smiled warmly. "Want to come into my bed?"

Luigi peeked out at him with watery eyes, nodding shakily.

With utmost effort, the child cautiously pushed aside his bedsheets, and took Mario's hand in his. He gripped his big brother's hand the short distance across the room, as Mario led them back to his bed.

The two of them cuddled up as close as possible.

"Are you ok now, Luigi?", Mario asked.

Luigi nodded. And then another crash of thunder sounded, and an even bigger flash of lightning lit up the room. Luigi shrieked and clung to Mario tight, burying his face into the crook of Mario's neck.

Mario patted his brother on the head.

"It's ok, Luigi", Mario smiled gently. "There's nothing to be scared of."

"Yes there is!", Luigi insisted.

He hugged Mario tighter as the thunderstorm raged more fiercely.

"Thunderstorms are so scary!", Luigi wept. "They're big, and noisy. And they can hurt us!"

"It won't hurt us, Weegie", Mario insisted. "I won't let it."

Luigi looked at him astonished.

"Are you sure?"

"Yep!", Mario smiled and nodded.

Luigi frowned.

"But the thunderstorm is so big. How are you going to beat it when you're really small?"

"I'm not small!", exclaimed Mario. "And besides, nothing or no one is big enough if it means I get to protect them from you."

Luigi sniffled.

"I wish I was as brave as you..."

"You are brave, Luigi!", Mario said. "You're brave in your own way!"

Mario shifted a little so he and Luigi were positioned more comfortably, their heads close together and their hands clasped.

"What would you do if you had lightning powers?", Mario asked.

Luigi blinked.

"Lightning powers?"

"Yeah!", said Mario. "What would you do if you had them?"

"Well...", Luigi furrowed his brow. "I don't know...m-maybe....power Mama's washing machine?"

Mario laughed.

"That's pretty cool! Ok, what else would you do with them? What if you were a super-hero?!"

Luigi laughed this time.

"A super-hero? Those only exist in stories!"

"No they don't!", Mario exclaimed. "What about the guy who came to fix the TV?"

"Well...he did call himself 'Mr Electric'...."

"Exactly! So...what else would you do if you had lightning powers."

Luigi turned himself over so he was facing the ceiling.

"Well...I would want to shoot lightning! It would help keep the bad guys away."

"That's cool", smiled Mario. "What else?"

"I would want...to be able to create a lightning shield."

"Lightning shield?"

"Yeah!", replied Luigi. He turned to face his brother. "It's so I can keep you safe too."

Mario smiled and patted his brother's shoulder.

"You don't need to worry about keeping me safe, Luigi. I can do that for both of us. But having a lighting shield would be so cool! Would it come out of your mouth or eyes?"

"Nope. My hands", said Luigi, holding them up. "It would be so awesome! I could charge up my power and hurt anyone who tries to grab me. Or blast anyone from far away!"

"So cool!", Mario gasped.

"What would your power be, Mario?", Luigi asked curiously.

"My power...?"

Mario frowned.

"I think I would like to have fire!"

"Fire?"

"Yeah!", said Mario. "Fire is awesome! And strong!"

"Would it be like my lightning?"

"Oh yeah! But it would be even more strong, to protect you."

"Would they have names?"

"Hmmm...not sure...Maybe Firebrand for me! It sounds cool!"

"Then mine will be...Thunderhand!"

The two brothers were so engrossed in talking that they hadn't even noticed that the storm had subsided. Eventually they both got tired again, and cuddled up close to each other.

"Goodnight, Luigi", Mario smiled.

"I'll keep you safe, always."

author's notes under the cut

Hooray another drabble! Sorry this one took a while. I wanted to do something cute from Mario and Luigi's childhood, and I hope it sufficed.

Take care everyone <3

[chloecherrysip]

Now that I've had a few hours of sleep and am marginally a human being again, let's talk about the mario movie some more! SPOILERS ALL THROUGHOUT THIS POST UNDER THE CUT (if you want to see my non-spoilery thoughts and the first part of my spoiler talk as well, here's that post from last night! Be warned that it's pretty all over the place because it was 4:30 in the morning and I was really tired lolol)

After thinking about it more, I truly do have some PROBLEMS with this movie (will talk more about some of that below and I covered a lot of the issues in my first post too) and I do wish it was better overall and not so painfully surface-level with all the character interactions - I can understand why some people REALLY don't like it while others love it! It's joyful and energetic and BEAUTIFUL but if you spent months and months theorizing and speculating about deep character interactions and a very emotional story, it does really sting to finally see how there is virtually NONE of that and the plot feels kinda empty as a result. :(

But! I'm definitely not upset or anything like that, and I'm still gonna see it two more times in theaters with a smile on my face! TRUTHFULLY (and if you've seen my blog before, you know this about me) what I cared about most in this movie was getting to see Mario and Luigi be adorable onscreen and have a good, healthy, loving relationship, and you do get that to some degree, even if it's nowhere near enough. I can make my peace (and write a lot of fanfic, LOL) regarding the rest. :)

Here is a list of moments between Mario & Luigi that made me happy:

FIRST OF ALL, SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT ACTUALLY SURE I LIKED BUT WAS CERTAINLY A CHOICE: Mario's nickname for Luigi is Lu????? He calls him that 3-4 times and at big moments, too. It started to be cute to me, even if I wish they'd gone with "Weegie" or something similar, but it's a little jarring at the beginning for sure.

In general, they are just very physically affectionate with each other! There are one or two quick hugs in the beginning scenes before we even get to the reunion. Also, I can't remember the specifics but the very last scene is them basically teasing/poking each other before running off into the day together and it's cute. :)

Mario is SO protective of Luigi in the Brooklyn scenes and let me tell you, as someone who cares DEEPLY about that, i was LIVING. He gets mad at Spike and tries to pick a fight only when he insults Luigi, and there is also a silly scene with an angry dog and Mario just instinctively puts his arm up in front of Luigi when things get a little scary/focuses on making sure he doesn't get hurt, and I was just having the BEST time. Honestly, I loved the Brooklyn stuff so much that I sincerely wanted the whole movie to just be about that, and things took a downhill turn for sure when the separation happened. :(

Someone definitely predicted this before the movie but Mario hates mushrooms as a food and Luigi likes them. During a dinner scene, Mario is slyly separating mushrooms from his food and putting them onto Luigi's plate in a way that suggests he's done that a LOT. Such a quick shot but I just liked the detail!

THE RUNNING THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION SITE AND MARIO DOING RIDICULOUS PARKOUR BUT ALSO STOPPING TWICE TO MAKE SURE TO TURN BACK AND OPEN THE GATES SO LUIGI COULD COME THROUGH NORMALLY. There was just something SO funny and sweet about [crazy jumping and leaping] [quiet, thoughtful pause to open the gate] [MORE CRAZY JUMPING AND LEAPING, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING, SIR] [another quiet, thoughtful pause to open the 2nd gate], I loveeeeee

Once again, just gotta be obnoxious about being right that the dialogue in the warp zone was "nothing can hurt us as long as we're together!" I HEARD THE LINE AS THIS IN THAT PREVIEW FOOTAGE AND EVERYONE CONVINCED ME IT WAS DIFFERENT BUT LOOK WHO'S LAUGHING NOW (i'm sorry, just let me have this win haha)

There is a sad moment where Mario and Luigi's dad clearly doesn't believe in their business and he even says to Mario something like "the worst part is that you're dragging your brother down with you" which is clearly upsetting to Mario so he leaves the dinner table - but then Luigi leaves the table too to come and sit with him and reassures him that he's not dragging him down and it's just a sweet, comfortable moment between them that I very much wish went on a little longer (the theme of the whole movie lol)

(Also, Mario and Luigi still live with their parents and share a room, they're clearly pretty young and are treated like the "babies" of the family. I wish we had seen more of their room other than a very extremely brief shots!!)

Luigi DOES immediately sell out Mario when Bowser goes for the serious mustache damage, LOL, but the way it's done is honestly so cute and once again, just reemphasizes how much Luigi loves Mario XD He's basically like "YES, I know him, he's my brother Mario and he's the best guy ever!" (And then Bowser, who is preoccupied with Mario = romantic rival for Peach's affections, is like "would a princess find him attractive???" and Luigi is like "if she has any common sense, she should!" (lol, that line could be TOTALLY wrong, I don't remember, but that's the gist of it, I promise) or something like that - just hyping Mario up when he's not even there, LOL

in Mario and DK's "darkest moment" scene where things seem hopeless and they're arguing, Mario says something like "well, at least your brother's not going to die because of you!" and noooo, bb, it's not your fault ;; (this scene could have been done SO MUCH BETTER with a few tweaks, btw, but I will get into that)

Luigi bringing coffee for Mario at the end of the movie in their respective cups :) :) :) So simple but I am a very simple person who just wanted to see little moments like this :) :) :)

I have GRIPES with the final battle scene but seeing Mario and Luigi work together and take care of Bowser as a duo was still good!!! Nothing can hurt them when they're together!!!

Also, already talked about this at length in my first post, but one more time: Mario saving Luigi from falling into the lava and their reunion hug is just my favorite moment of the movie, no contest, it goes by so fast and I wish it was longer but I can be happy with that alone and I can't wait for the screenshots/gifsets where I can see all the details of it more clearly and don't have to rely on my awful memory. Literally just going to think about that split-second of Mario holding Luigi's face with both hands in an unbearably sweet, gentle way forever. These brothers love each other very much, your honor ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

ALSO ALMOST FORGOT: FLASHBACK TO THEM BEING BABIES (AND THEY LOOK SO FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGNS TOO!) AND MARIO PROTECTING LUIGI FROM A BULLY (lol I very much wish it was a longer and/or more creative flashback, but STILL sweet)

AND NOW THAT I AM DONE WITH BEING POSITIVE ABOUT MY FAVORITE BOYS, LET'S ~*~COMPLAIN~*~

First of all, still CANNOT BELIEVE that "I'm not afraid! I'll do anything for my brother" didn't make it into the movie, are you SERIOUS, it would have been perfect in SO MANY PARTS, they recorded it and everything, why???? IS THERE A DELETED SCENE??? ARE THERE SEVERAL DELETED SCENES??? I DEMAND JUSTICE FOR THAT PERFECT LINE, I WILL MOURN IT FOREVER

The editing in general is a little odd sometimes and it really DOES feel like a lot of scenes should be there that are missing. Another VERY weird cut is in the scene where Peach, Toad, and Mario are crossing the bridge with the Cheep-Cheeps and they just immediately cut the scene when one latches onto Mario's face and don't even include the cute stuff from the trailer with Peach trying to help him??? Like, WHY???? WHY DID THOSE FEW SECONDS NEED TO BE CUT??? I DON'T UNDERSTAND

I think one of the most painful things about this movie is that, as a writer/creative person, I can see SO many small opportunities throughout the movie where a couple of extra minutes and some tweaks in the writing would have made SO much difference. An unbelievable amount of difference! The overall structure of the story and the plot is good! The story of Mario wanting to reunite with his brother and Peach wanting to protect her kingdom (that took her in and cared for her when she was all alone in the world) is solid! But they never give the EMOTIONS surrounding these things ANY space to breathe beyond one line here or there, and that is SUCH a mistake and I can't believe no one thought to do something differently here.

FOR INSTANCE: The "darkest moment" scene with DK and Mario! It goes by so fast, but there is some good stuff there that, if the movie took a MOMENT and really let their pain/fear for their loved ones and their shared complex of unsupportive fathers BREATHE, would work SO MUCH BETTER. Like, I can easily imagine a rewritten version of that scene with very similar dialogue but just MORE of it (more pauses, more emotion, more reactions to one another's problems, more recognition of their similarities, etc) would have made it like a DAGGER in the heart. SUCH a missed opportunity. I am itching to rewrite it, LOL. (I am itching to rewrite a LOT of scenes!)

ALSO: Luigi is my LOVE and he is adorable throughout this, but I'm gonna be the first to admit that his scrap of an arc in this movie (if you can even call it that) is so lackluster and his heroic moment at the end genuinely doesn't feel that earned! AND ONCE AGAIN, WITH A LITTLE EXTRA WRITING/ROOM IN THE RUNTIME, IT'S A VERY SOLVABLE PROBLEM

And the solution is: build out the prison scenes and have Luigi actually talking to someone else who is locked up!!!!! Other than a couple of lines and jokes, the prisoners don't TALK TO EACH OTHER and Luigi just spends a lot of time looking sad. We don't get ANYTHING about his thought processes while he's captured other than he is thinking of Mario and hoping his brother comes to save him like he's always done.

WHEN CRANKY KONG AND THE OTHER KONGS SHOW UP, HAVE THEM SHARE INFO ABOUT MARIO'S APPARENT DEMISE WITH LUIGI!!! HAVE LUIGI TALK TO HIM (OR THE PENGUIN KING, OR SOMEONE) ABOUT HOW HIS BROTHER'S ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR HIM BUT MAYBE SOMETIMES, HIS BROTHER MIGHT NEED SOME SUPPORT TOO AND HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG FOR HIM TOO

It doesn't have to be a long or especially deep conversation, but some lines of dialogue like this would make that moment where Luigi realizes that Mario is right, nothing CAN hurt them if they're together and he's gotta be strong for his older brother too and he jumps in to protect him from Bowser hit SO much harder. That's all it would take!!!

I HAVE ACTUAL WORK TO DO TODAY AND CANNOT GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE MARIO MOVIE FOREVER BUT LAST THOUGHT FOR NOW: the more I think about the final battle, the more I'm conflicted, haha. The twist of everyone from the Mushroom Kingdom ending up in Brooklyn is definitely SHOCKING in the moment and pretty creative but I don't know, I had my heart set on a more classic version of Mario VS Bowser. It just doesn't hit as hard as it could in the end because of how silly the setting is. :( (But the Mario and Luigi teamup with the power star is great, and the music IS fire) (Also LOL at myself for thinking "Luigi won't fight at the end, that wouldn't make sense since Mario had to train" - he just knows how to fight, the movie goes with what's cool over what's logical and that's fair XD)

Also, the end of the movie is a tad confusing and has some pretty huge repercussions for this version of canon? ARE THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM AND THE REAL WORLD PERMANENTLY MERGED TOGETHER BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED??? That's definitely what it seems to imply with Mario and Luigi waking up in their Brooklyn room and then walking out straight into the Mushroom Kingdom! It's pretty bizarre! (Honestly, what I was expecting was that the Bill would destroy the warp pipes and Mario and Luigi wouldn't be able to go home, which I might have preferred, as sad as that would be.)

That's all I got for now! I'm sure I will have more thoughts in the future, haha.
