mmmmmm bowuigi. i love these fucking idiots. <3
it’s talking heads kermit friday
I always get a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see comics of ppl not only depicting Mario being a bad or inconsiderate supportive brother (though I mainly see that last one when it comes to ppl shipping Bowuigi) but that Luigi is unhappy being around his brother, is jealous of Mario, and worse wanting to abandon Mario. And I honestly dislike that theory/trope I see in certain fan comics. It makes me uncomfortable.
It’s why I love the movie so so much cuz it leaves no room for that. The movie point blank shows us that not to be the case. They support one another, Mario is literally always there for Luigi, protecting him and is there for him. He went through so much just to be reunited with his brother. And his reaction alone when they were reunited is enough to show how much Mario loves Luigi. Meanwhile there is not a ounce of jealousy, envy or a hint that Luigi is unhappy being with and around Mario, if anything he’s the one that’s the most supportive of his brothers dreams and aspirations cuz he also has the same dreams and aspirations himself.
He’s not jealous of Mario, he’s his brothers biggest fan and vice versa with Mario. They love and support each and I find that so beautiful and just a breathe of air considering that there were sooo many people saying that Mario was an awful brother and that Luigi was unhappy being around him. Because why would we want that? They are called the Mario Bros for a reason, why would we want them to hate and be inconsiderate and be unhappy around the other?
Sure they may have disagreements but I feel that even those wouldn’t be that serious and if they were they would be about the others safety/something they would talk about and that would develop in a fight. They love the other too much to ever actually fight and be verbally angry at each other.
If there was ever a point that they actually did have a real fight rather than a simple disagreement, then– like you said– it would stem from a life or death situation: Mario being worried for his brother... Luigi wanting to support and protect his sibling despite the danger... and a fear of losing one another. But even then I have trouble seeing an argument between them getting too serious. At the end of the day, Mario and Luigi seem to mutually understand that they are strongest when they are together. The writers of The Mario Movie really saw all the weird Matt Patt theories and "Luigi is jealous" speculation, and said "Not only are Mario and Luigi not at odds with one another, but they are each other's greatest source of peace and happiness."
"We're going to make the first scene with them chock full of physical and verbal affection. We're going to hammer home just how much protecting his brother means to Mario, and how much Luigi supports his sibling to hell and back. We're going to make Mario's biggest point of upset come from being accused of bringing his brother down. We're going to make Luigi's greatest impulse amidst the fear and pain of an interrogation to hype his brother up. We're going to establish that Mario and Luigi have never been willingly parted for longer than a day. We're going to make the driving force of the story how much they want to be reunited. We're going to make 'nothing can hurt us as long as we're together' their motto. We're going to make their brotherhood the heart of this film" and by God it is glorious!

Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont) has been in the news a lot because of The Last of Us now airing on HBO. In one recent interview she came out as nonbinary.
Ahead of the series’ debut, she sat down with The New York Times for an interview published online Wednesday and was candid about how she identifies.
“I guess my gender has always been very fluid,” Ramsey said. “Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it, but I knew that if someone called me ‘he’ it was a bit exciting.”
[ … ]
As for pronouns, Ramsey said she would check “nonbinary” if it’s an option on a form. “I’m very much just a person,” she added. “Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less.”
(Bowser and King Boo drinking together and complaining over their mustachioed nemeses)
KB: Come on, you have it easy. I've kidnapped the red Luigi plenty of times! He's hardly a threat!
Bowser: You trapped him in a painting as he's sleeping. That hardly counts! Try fighting Red when he's actually awake. Anyway, the green bean is so pathetic, he could hardly hold onto a powerup! Scared and shaking all the time! Just use that against him!
KB: You don't know what you're talking about. You try fighting him and see how much his fear doesn't hold him back! You'd find yourself trapped in a vacuum in record time!
Bowser: *laughing because even drunk he knows he can't be vacuumed up like a boo can*
(later, on his way home, a still drunk bowser decided he'll prove KB wrong and take care of the green Mario problem for him. Kidnaps Luigi in his sleep, because why hasn't KB tried that when that's how e traps nearly everyone else? stupid boo.)
(Meanwhile KB starts plotting a Bowser-style kidnapping of his own to lure Mario to one of his haunted locations for a fight to prove Bowser wrong. He makes his attack in the early morning (still dark out) when Mario is confused and lacking coffee) as to where his brother has disappeared to. KB and his boos attack the castle, startling Princess Peach as she is eating breakfast before getting an early start on her day. Capturing her in a painting, and leaving a few toads to run and inform Mario of what happened. The toads run to tell Luigi and Mario because they know Luigi is who you call for boo problems, but you call Mario for kidnapped Peach problems. but no one can find Luigi so Mario sets off alone to rescue Peach, planning to find out where Luigi is after. He borrows Luigi's boo hunting equipment and calls up Professor Gadd to get some quick lessons on how to use it all before he's off to save the princess.)
(Meanwhile at Bowser's castle things are not going the way Bowser expected (an easy fight) nor does it go the way it would if it was Mario. and oops, is Bowser catching feelings for the green one? oh.)
(Luigi returns home, a bit stunned that he has a date night planned with Bowser of all people. He's still trying to figure out how that happened. To find the toads all freaking out because KB kidnapped the Princess and Mario went after them with Luigi's stuff, but isn't back yet. So Luigi grabs his older poltergust from storage and goes to provide back-up, or straight up rescue them if Mario ended up in a painting. He arrives to find that actually, no, Mario is still standing, still fighting, sucking up boos and ghosts, though not as efficiently as Luigi could with all his experience in doing so. It's still clear to KB that he greatly underestimated the red one.)
Luigi: Doing great, bro! Just smack him around a bit to stun him when you have him caught! I'll let the Princess out!
(Mario does what his brother suggests and manages to capture KB himself as Peach is saved from the painting by Luigi and the three head home (after dropping off the captured boos to Gadd), talking about how strange it was that KB had made such a move. Also Luigi explaining why he hadn't been home that morning. Minus the date. he doesn't know how to get into that development...)
Opening shift
-18, any pronouns are cool- Honestly this just turned into a g/t account, I don't know how it happened. I like posting my art and I'll probably reblog stuff about Labor Unions/Workers rights every now and then, don't be afraid to interact or make art requests! I might not get to them very quickly, but I'm down to give em a shot. Glad to share my 3am monthly-hyperfixation-related drawings with y'all
