Time for another take on Mario vs Bowuigi !
What everyone (including Luigi) thinks : Mario and Bowser hate each other. Despise each other. Mario would throw a fit at the very idea of Luigi dating his dreaded nemesis. Bowser has nothing but contempt for his boyfriend's brother.
The truth : Mario and Bowser are BFF. Yes, they started off hating each other but over the years, the hatred morphed into familiar rivalry then playful banter then long lasting spicy friendship. They kept up the act of hating each other because :
1) Bowser wants his troops to respect him and Mario gives him the perfect outlet for his badassitude
2) Mario doesn't want people to brand him a traitor when all he does is rough housing with his buddy
3) it's a freaking hilarious private joke.
When Bowser took an interest in Luigi, Mario was HYPED. "Go for it, Big Guy ! My bro deserves nothing less!" And Bowser was hyped too because "Your brother is so cute ??" "I know right??! Hey, let's boost up his confidence, I'll be out of commission for your next invasion so he'll get to beat you !" "Great idea ! Nothing wrong can come out of it!"
But.
Through a serie of misunderstanding, mistiming and misfiring, neither have been able to confess the truth about their friendship to Luigi. Who is TERRIFIED at the idea of Mario "finding out".
Bowser tries to warm up Luigi to the idea of Mario and him being friends : "Look, Pistachio, I'm sure he wouldn't take it that badly, I can tell him myself if you wan-" "NO NO NO he will hate me, he hates you enough already, I don't want you two to maul each other to death, you don't have to pretend you don't want to just for me 😭"
Mario tries to nudge Luigi into confessing the truth on his own without forcing him : "hey bro, you've been out a lot lately, anything going on~?" "NOTHING AT ALL I AM NOT SEEING ANYONE YES LUIGI SINGLE FOREVER (oh shit shit shit does he suspect something ???)"
Both Bowser and Mario feel bad about Luigi stressing out so much but everytime they try to confess the truth, Luigi either can't hear them or is convinced they're pretending for his own good.
So. Many. Shenanigans. Ensue.

Sunshine Never Stops au hcs
Because this au is All The Fluff and bby!Sola is giving me cavities.
-Ardyn helps Sola pack her things - cheerfully abusing his armiger to pack up all Sola’s stuff - while Sola writes a note for her parents explaining that she’s with Uncle and she’ll be back as soon as she cures him.
-Sola No. (Sola Yes.)
-Ardyn keeps Sola firmly away from the public for the next seven years, teaching Fiercest Niece pretty much everything he knows. Sola’s not a genius, but she’s stubborn and determined and soaks everything up as fast as she possibly can.
-This includes Science. Sola is Not A Fan Of Science. But if Science will cure Uncle, then Science she will learn.
-This leads to Sola meeting Besithia and following him around and asking Questions about the Scourge. Besithia is Offended when the six year old calls his research unoriginal and vows that she’ll find a way to do the so called impossible.
-The day Sola actually manages to come up with a working theory on why the Starscourge is vulnerable to sunlight is the day Besithia is Offended, and when Sola’s work with a medical task force to create a viable treatment for the early stages of vanishing sickness building off of said theory is published world wide is the day Besithia declares the twelve year old a Rival.
-Sola adds insult to injury by blowing a raspberry at him.
-Of course, now that his darling niece (Ardyn is so proud) is firmly established as his niece Alata Mederi, Ardyn decides it’s the perfect time to advance Alata’s lessons by introducing her to the Niflheim Court.
-Alata is distinctly Unimpressed. The Court collectively decides that Alata is going to be a nightmare when she grows up and can’t decide if it would be better to ally with or try to eliminate her. And Alata meets one Loqi Tummelt, all of eight years old, when Ardyn intervenes on behalf of Prince Icarus before Alata decides to go from considering to actually disemboweling the twenty- going on twenty-one year old Imperial Heir and shoos Alata off.
-Unfortunately for Loqi, Alata decides that anyone who so clearly admires her Uncle Cor is clearly her best friend, and neglects to give Loqi the option to refuse. Also unfortunately for Loqi, his family is of more minor nobility and all but leap at the chance to forge a connection between their family and the High Chancellor.
-Which means Loqi, brilliant Loqi who is genuinely smart if not quite on Ignis’ level, gets to join Alata’s lessons, martial and academic. Where Alata proceeds to bruise him and his ego, and completely shatter his worldview on Niflheim’s superiority to the Lucian savages.
-Due to the events that lead to Alata getting her Giant Death Cat (yes, I’m absolutely giving her Abyssus in this au as well, because it’s going to drive Loqi up the wall) and tearing the Kings of the Lucii a new one, Loqi learns that a) his best friend is King Regis’ eldest daughter, and b) his best friend doesn’t have two Braincells to rub together.
-Yes, he’s calling his best friend a dumbass (shut UP Alata you know I’m right-)
-And that’s how Loqi receives the dubious honor of becoming Alata’s Shield (even if the new magic lessons are cool). Ardyn claps Loqi on the shoulder and wishes him good luck. Alata flips her Uncle the middle finger.
-This means Loqi is witness to the regular debates between Alata and Prince Icarus, who despite being nine years Alata’s senior did not learn at Ardyn’s knee, and as such regularly loses to Alata. And if it weren’t for the fact that Loqi knows Alata is loyal to both Niflheim and Lucis he would wonder if Alata is attempting to sow dissention among Niflheim’s Court.
-She’s not. Alata just thinks Iedolas is a horrible ruler and thinks Icarus would make a better one if the Prince would dislodge that stick he welded to his spine. Even if it takes coming at it from a less moral and more practical argument. Like if your population catches the vanishing sickness from the miasma powering your MTs, soon you won’t have a population because they’ll have vanished.
-Then fifteen-year old Alata catches wind of rumors to assassinate the Crown Prince of Lucis (elder heir missing, the younger but a child, vulnerable, the courtiers whisper) and eleven-year old Loqi sees his Queen furious for the first time.
-And well, he’s not letting her run off to Lucis on her own, no matter how much distaste the thought of wandering through such a climate inspires, so he simply packs his own bags and meets her at the secret tunnel she doesn’t think he knows about.

toshinko
so, i made one about inko, and i tried to keep all my dumbass toshinko hcs to myself because it was about just inko dammit, but its time now
- they started talking because izuku was impulsively dumb and liked to consistently break his bones and someone had to explain to inko why the hell her son kept coming home completely shattered head to toe
- it was really slow at first because inko was absolutely starstruck, and toshi was kinda afraid of delivering bad news to his mentee's guardian on a regular basis, so even though there were some emails passed back and forth about izuku's health, that's all. barely a few, all izuku related. it all really came to a head when toshi had his last stand and ua forced its students to live on campus and their meeting happened
- the emails continued but much more frequently, "izuku's doing well in school! one of the top five in his class!" "oh lovely! i do hope his hero training is going fine! i havent heard of any injuries as of late?" very formal at first. it only takes off because izuku lowkey accidentally invites toshi over for tea and toshi obliges because izuku just wants to spend time with him how could he ever say no to his son mentee
- inko fucking loses it because what the fuck izuku you can't just go casually invting former #1 heroes to our home for tea
- it's awkward.
- it happens again.
- it's a little less awkward.
- and then inko is the one to invite him over for tea because maybe you can just give me your monthly reports in person and i can serve you dinner? it's the least i can do for the person helping my son to acheive his dream
- the rest is history and izuku still sometimes has to sit down because someone brings up that he's the reason all might is dating his mother
- so around the time inko realizes that hey, yagi toshinori (not all might) may be someone i'm interested in, it's been so long and this might go somewhere, she instantly calls up hisashi (who she is good friends with even after they decided that being together together wasn't best for them or izuku) and is like "i'm sending you some goddamned divorce papers because i've got a date"
- hisashi is instantly on it like "hun tell me everything"
- hisashi lets her gush about it over the phone and helps to ease her stress because the last time she went on a date was with him, like twenty years ago
- their first date is a little awkward but it's only because they're both so rusty at the whole dating thing, but it ends wonderfully (a kiss at her doorstep, he walked her to her doorstep what a gentleman) with the promise of another date in the future
- toshinori will casually show up on her doorstep sometimes with flowers just cause and it makes inko melt every time
- most of their dates are at little family run restaurants/diners where they just sit and talk for hours upon hours
- inko has the Motherly Instinct and goes ham on toshi once she realizes that he sometimes forgets to take care of himself at the barest minimum
- it makes her happy to be able to cook for two again, after izuku moved out
- she absoultely teases him about his hero costumes and his hair, because it makes him flustered every time and she thinks it's cute
- one day, the topic of older pro heroes pops up and inko tells toshi that the reason she puts her hair up the way she does is because one of her favorite pro heroes as a kid, nana shimura, wore it like that. toshi nearly cries
- oh shit i totally forgot—
- this ones gonna be long friends so buckle up
- there's a point in her life where she feels like she's lost everything because toshi and izuku come to the consensus that it's time she knows about ofa and it shatters her. they had been keeping this from her for how long? this is how izuku got a quirk? do they realize how much danger they've put izuku into? do they realize that this put not only their lives, but her's and all his friend's lives at stake? they didn't think to fucking ask her permission? they didn't think to even tell her? this wasn't a decision for them to make alone and they should've known that. they've both betrayed her trust and although she loves them both dearly it hurts too much so she kinda just stops talking to them for a bit. not too long, they are her boyfriend (are they still dating after her blow up?) and her son (he probably hates her) but she just needs to be alone, to think and reflect and go about it in a calm manner. she's still angry, she'll never let go of it because it wasn't just something small she could brush off, it was her son's life, but they all talked about it. izuku couldn't exactly get rid of it conventionally so there was no logical point in being upset about it (she knew that but she was allowed to have her emotions and it hurt) but now they definitely include her in conversations about afo and ofa and everything invloving that. (she doesn't tell them but it hurts even more to know that katsuki, the boy that had bullied her son, got to know before her)
- had to get that off my chest but anyways back to our regularly scheduled fluff
- inko is all fluff and toshi is skin and bones so when they cuddle toshi lays on inko and it's literally heaven
- also toshi is little spoon most of the time, though sometimes he'll be big spoon because it's more convenient for his height
- toshi eats like he's starving and inko loves cooking so it's a match made in heaven (inko makes toshi bentos for work and sometimes she'll add little loving notes that warm toshi's heart)
- oh my god izuku doesn't even realize they're dating until he's out with iida and uraraka and iida points out his mother and all might out together, so for the rest of their outing they stalk watch the two to see if they're just out together (???) or if they're on a date (it's the ladder and let me tell you izuku does not handle that well at first)
- inko!!! does toshi's hair!!! to keep it out of his eyes!!! toshi blushes whenever someone points it out but sometimes he'll come into work with hair ties and barrets in his hair to keep his long-ass bangs from flopping everywhere (not that inko doesn't love them, she just assumes it may be inconvenient for work to have them in your face all the time)
- inko sometimes gets insecure about her body and toshi is always, always there to reassure her that she's beautiful, she's magnificent, she's a goddess and she appreciates him more than anything else in those moments because without him she didn't know if she could be as confident in herself as she is now
- toshi knows a thing or two about cooking and baking and he surprises inko on their anniversary with a candlelit dinner with a view, homemade cake, and her favorite flowers. it's super romantic and inko finds it extremely endearing
- izuku will come home every once in a while to find them asleep on the couch together napping and he never knows how to feel about it because he's still not used to his mom dating his mentor, and also now he has to make dinner for three and he's not sure how well it's gonna come out because he was never as good as his mom at cooking
- also toshi and inko are the kind of parents that call up their kid at 2 in the afternoon with the most outlandish questions about technology because for some reason the computer just bluescreened and they don't know what to do, as if izuku knows either
- (slight movie spoilers i guess? only barely) toshi may have been besties with dave in college but does that mean he knows hack shit about tech? hell no. that bitch had to have dave do everything for him and even then he had no idea what he was doing. inko literally is the same way, they complete each other in their idiocy when it comes to that kinda stuff. they both lose all common sense and their collective braincells go flying out the window. toshi spent a whole 7 minutes one time panicking because the tv remote stopped working. 7 minutes. it took him 7 whole minutes before he thought to check if the batteries were dead.
- toshinori is absolutely Dumb And In Love with inko, and he constantly loses his common sense when he talks to her because he just loves her so much. inko is used to this and puts her 1 million braincells to work to make up for her boyfriends idiocy (she finds it endearing that he literally forgets everything because he got distracted by how cute her outfit was, but sometimes it's exasperating like dammit toshi pay attention)
- izuku, once he found out about their relationship, somehow watched these two adults, in a relationship, pine after each other. how does that happen you ask? they just have So Much Love that even when they are dating they still pine
- i'm about to pass out so before i do one last thing—toshi takes inko to nana's grave (not her hero persona's grave, her grave) once they've been together long enough. not only is it a sign of his unwavering trust in her, but also of his vulnerability, and how he allows her to see him at his lowest. inko makes it a point to take flowers to the grave every other week, to show respect to the woman that practically raised toshi and taught him everything he needed to become the best hero ever. she will sometimes sit and talk for a bit, just to thank nana for everything she did as a hero and as a mother figure to toshi
okay i'm going to bed thank you for reading my dumb ship headcanons! yall can pop into my asks and send me your own headcanons anytime! i love hearing what others think! also i love hearing other people talk about my favorite characters too, so never think you're bothering me! until next time friends
