I have so many dumb Mario headcanons so I'm gonna share a few while I wait for my art block to fuck off
Mario has ADHD and Luigi is autistic
The Koopalings are Bowser's adopted children, Jr being his only biological child
Professor E. Gadd has the bros basically adopt Gooigi after the events of LM3 because E. Gadd realized that Gooigi has the cognitive capacity of a toddler and wouldn't be able to survive on his own once E. Gadd dies
He's old as shit, I give him like 3 years tops
So now Mario and Luigi have a new baby brother to take care of, how cute
After Galaxy, Rosalina's Observatory passes by Earth far more frequently, so the Star Festival now takes place every year instead of every 100 years.
Peach and Mario would 100% get married on the day of the Star Festival
But they're not officially a couple yet, instead just intensely pining for eachother
Daisy and Luigi are a couple though
She could break his neck and he'd ask her to do it again
Yoshis are an extremely intelligent species and are more than a wild animal (like- human level intelligence)
So are Kongs
Magikoopas are naturally magic and are born with their abilities. Most of them just prefer to use wands to store their magic and keep it in check so they don't accidentally burn down a church
Kamek actually stored some of his own magic in the Koopalings' wands since they don't have any abilities of their own, and he taught them how to use the wands
god you never imagine a sequel will live up to the original but glass onion was amazing. I'm so ready for a series of mysteries starring benny blanc in some slutty little gay outfits. ideally, the next one features more hugh grant and has a cameo of marta and helen becoming best friends. just some suggestions if rian johnson is curious. for example maybe blanc could suck some di-[SUDDEN GONG NOISE]
Gonna throw my oc x cannon on here because, Lysandre and Pokemon XY haven't left my brain since the Pokemon Legends: Z-A teaser trailer was released. X and Y was my first pokemon game and I could not be happier now that its making a return.
As for my oc, her name is Professor Cypress! A professor from Galar who's moved to the Kalos region. Working alongside Sycamore in her studies on the potential and origins of aura!
I’ve realised that my accounts display is highly RDR2 centric, specifically Charles - yet I haven’t made any posts in any way pertaining to either of them! And they’re my greatest loves!
So without ANY FURTHER ADO I present a few of my nearest and dearest headcanons for the gang (most of them are probably incredibly basic… also so biased to my big three of Arthur/charles/sadie)
CW!!!!!! mentions of violence
Under the cut if you’re interested!
-> Arthur has a small barely noticeable scar on his neck, just below where his beard finishes. He tells everyone he simply got it one day when he accidentally nicked himself whilst shaving - only John and Hosea know the truth. He got it when a member of an enemy gang held a knife to his neck too hard once, threatening him. It didn’t go on long enough to cause any lasting damage. Suffice to say Hosea took care of things before it reached that point.
-> Throughout his whole life, Arthur struggled to differentiate the kinds of love he felt. He loved Mary and Eliza, I truly believe it was romantically, in Mary’s case and he was aware of this, though there’s less to go off of with Eliza - but in terms of his relationship with members of the gang, that’s slightly more difficult. He knows he loves John like a brother, Dutch and Hosea like a father, and Sadie like a sister. His love for Charles is… different to all those, very much so less familial. But he died before ever figuring out what it was.
-> Charles and Sadie visit his grave every year. John also does, but not with them, he prefers to go alone.
-> After Arthur dies, Abigail tries so hard to get John to open up. He never really does. The closest he gets to doing so is when he kills Micah.
-> Sadie never EVER forgets Jake, as much as I would love to be a sadigail truther (and I truly believe there’s certainly a lil fruit in Sadie’s punch if you get me) Sadie never finds the connection she had with him anywhere else.
-> I’ve already touched on Charthur, whilst I certainly think the possibility of feelings developing was right there, I don’t think it could ever have materialised within the time frame of RDR2
-> in some hypothetical and beautiful universe in which Arthur lived, it takes years for Arthur to realise his feelings - even more so to actually act on them.
-> that is, if he chose to act on them. Something tells me Arthur would stay silent, and opt to let Charles make the first move if he wished.
-> When Arthur got sick, Sadie actually silently believed he would get better. Somewhere deep down she knew that was likely impossible - but she wanted to believe it wouldn’t happen again, she wanted to believe someone she cared for wouldn’t be taken from her for another time. It was easier for her to believe than accept reality at times.
-> John also believed silently he would get better, the gang had always pulled through, no matter what - it was hard for him to comprehend Arthur might not be around anymore.
-> out of the three of them, Charles was the only one who I believe truly accepted Arthur’s fate before it happened.
-> I think Dutch did care for John and Arthur, and the whole gang at a point. But Dutch, in my opinion, has an innate desire (more than anything) to feel in control and protect himself and his leadership. A combination of the death of Hosea and the manipulation of Micah (as well as Dutch’s own personal desires and characteristics) are what I believe led to his care for the gang dissolving into care for only himself.
-> not rlly a headcannon, more of an opinion - but Javier gets too much hate. He chose to stand against John and Arthur, but in my opinion, this seems understandable if you look at it from his perspective? His loyalty lay with Dutch because Dutch, in his mind, SAVED him. He gave him family, support, food, and, well - life, for want of another word.
-> I firmly believe that, if Shaun was still alive, he would’ve done the exact same thing as Javi.
-> (coming from the most DIEHARD FAN so please recognise this is no hate) but sometimes I think Arthur gets well.. watered down too much as being presented as a good man who was living in unfortunate circumstances. And whilst I’d say this is largely true, at least on a good honour play through - I’d also say it’s largely true for many of the other members of the gang? Sadie, John, Abigail, Javier, Charles, Lenny… I’d say they’re just some of the examples of characters who would also fit such characterisation and deserve the same sympathy as Arthur
-> John was the BEST at playing cards back in camp, Arthur never knew how. It infuriated him.
-> “Goddamn bastard… fool at damn near everything else… but a goddamn wizard at poker…”
That’s all! Feel free to add any you have yourself in the comments :)
Remember what I said in my post about Mario and Luigi feeling pain through the other if someone were to torture their souls with dark magic?
- - -
Well, what about a different scenario? 👀
- - -
What if an evil entity decided to use their dark magic to pull the bond of the Bros apart?? Sever it entirely so the spiritual connection is lost.
Or instead just blocks the connection so they can't sense each other.
And all the while they are both in pain and running around looking for each other, panicked, their minds only filled with raw dread.
And them they are rescued/reunited. And they hold each other so tight, so overwhelmed by the close call and what that being was planning to do to them.
"I couldn't feel you..."
And then, they press each other so close together, tears pouring down their faces, their hands over each other's hearts, just so they can believe that they are ok. They're together. The bond between them is still alive. It's here. No one will ever dare try to separate them like that again.
Because yeah, they can still physically feel and see each other; but nearly losing the spiritual connection between them is just as worst.
Im a little drunk and im in the mood to share a story with yall of when I was out living in Nevada. This was back in 2017 or so.
This story requires some backstory so please indulge me.
I was a crew leader, managing a group of 4-9 people ranging from 18-23 ( I was 24 at the time). Part of that meant helping them integrate into the new location they moved to (Reno, Nevada) despite living out of my car at this time.
One of my crew members, who I will call Shawn, was...... Interesting to say the least. He was a pretty interesting person, but was definitely way too interested in falling in love while on this job.
So while he was out with some other members on their off week, he confessed his feelings for another crew member who turned him down. He proceeded to seriously harm himself. So now, on my crew, I had to manage that shit and make sure he wasn’t a risk to himself. Because of course this motherfucker was on my crew and technically my responsibility.
Everything was basically fine. Shawn and the other member barely interacted and we were learning a lot about how to cut down trees safely.
During one of our hitches (time in the field) where we were building cattle fences on the border of Utah, this bitch decided he wanted to go for a walk. So idk if you know what the middle of no where Utah looks like but its basically the same as this for 100 miles in every directions
Barely any geographic features. Insanely easy to get lost.
We had a rule where if you were gonna split off from the group, you had to let the crew lead (me) know, and you had to explicitly say where you were gonna go. He decided he wanted cell phone signal one night, and told no one where he was going.
He got lost. In the middle of the desert. I need you to understand how horrifying that is. There’s nothing out there. You can walk for 200+ miles (350km) in any direction and find literally nothing. Especially on the Nevada / Utah border.
By 8pm we were all wondering where he was till a random person was like “Oh he went that was looking for signal”. Like wtf? Excuse me? We searched in the direction he went for like 4 hours before we called emergency services & our organization that was gonna send out reinforcements to help us look.
We parked our giant truck on the top on the highest hill around us, with our high beems on, and blared on the horn all night, hoping that he was going to find his way back to us. He never did.
We spent 38 hours looking for this person, and since we all knew his history, we legitimately thought he was dead.\
The next day we had the whole BLM (Bureau of Land Management) looking for him. They were about to call in the fucking helicopters.
Now, this next part is gonna sound like some bullshit I just made up but I stg it is true. My dumbass forgot to restock the first aid kit. My co-lead got stung by a bee / wasp while we were doing a grid search, and for the first time in his life, he had a major allergic reaction that none of the leftover meds we had would take down.
So we had to take him into town (an approximately 15 mile drive on back roads) and I did it since I was one of the few that was allowed to drive our trucks.
This motherfucker, Shawn, literally stumbled across the road while I was driving my co-lead into to town. Idk how the fuck he found this road. Idk how the fuck his timing was absolutely perfect. But we found him. After 56 hours when all of us thought he was already dead.
We would have NEVER found him if not for this random happenstance. Some divine power wanted this kid alive I swear. Its some of the most insane shit I have ever experienced.
And here’s the kicker: THIS HAPPENED ON THE 3RD DAY OF AN 8 DAY PROJECT AND THEY MADE ALL OF US FINISH OUR WORK INCLUDING THE DUDE THAT WAS LAST FOR THAT LONG
The moral is never trust Non-profit organizations. They dont give a fuck about you.
And if yall wanna head this story from Shawn’s perspective just lmk I am happy to share it.
