I love to think that post-BiS, Cackletta & Fawful would be the best n worst villainous partners being unable to agree on much but perfectly in sync when it counts

Think of it like…. Bowser and Paper Bowser. Literally plotting to back stab each other and then when you get to the final boss, they’re like besties

Also sorry, I couldn’t think of a better tag team insult <:p

Being friends and mutuals with people who have their own interpretation of M&L villains is fun! Its more fun when theirs are so different to yours! And its even more fun when they ship their sonas/ocs with em :3

So…. I thought “hey, why not draw these ships with my versions of the M&L villains?” heh Just felt indulging

I realized I was so caught up on proving PiT is a perfect time loop I forgot we live in a world where people believe the M&L villains are dead

So Elder Princess Shroob being in BiS would seem like an inconsistency if you believed she died in PiT

Actually, if we look at it that way, that Alpha Dream honestly believes these villains to be dead… was the shroob boss fight honestly their way of saying “oh PiT didn’t happen in this universe” and its the reason why they added Princess Shroob into the freezer in the remake? Because whatever plans they had for her was ditched in favor for remakes?

As I type this whole hypothetical out, one question just creeps up on me

Why? What reason would they have to hint that PiT never happened in BiS? Does every game take place in its own reality? Is PiT its own separate canon? Did anyone ask AD why the shroobs were frozen in Bowser’s Basement? Does Dream Team take place in its own reality and that’s actually Fawful in the Dreemkeeper bodysuit? Wait, doesn’t Kylie Koopa remember the Mario bros.

image

No wait, Mario Bros. recognize her… and she doesn’t recognize them… Which means she doesn’t recognize the adult Mario & Luigi

DOES PIT LEGIT EXIST IN ITS OWN CANON??? What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK?

No, that’s legit dumb. Its been, what? 20+ years since Kylie last saw them? And how would Mario & Luigi recognize her when they were babies?

Unless they saw her recently as adults! Aha! Gotcha! PiT is canon, its a perfect time loop, and the Bros remember it all cause they met these people recently! Ehehe >:3

And if you say “oh hector, I thought we shouldn’t take what separate games say as gospel” then I want you to know the alternative is accepting PiT is canon and a perfect time loop regardless.

Either its canon or canon! Haha! >:D

Either that or SSS and BiS take place in one timeline and PiT and DT take place in another and I don’t know if y'all wanna deal with zelda levels of timeline bullshittery

I remember an ask asking about time travel and I’m just thinking “NEVER mention time travel around Princess Shroob.” Not only did she lose cause of it - she lost cause of the worst case of time shenanigans ever. It wasn’t even some sort of closed time loop - the Mario Bros just time jumped to an alternative timeline into the relative past which just so happened to be during the invasion and then Time Holes just KEPT APPEARING leading to that time and timeline. Can you imagine how maddening it’d be to track 4 people (2 KIDS) wrecking your invasion if they can walk across a hall, hop into a temporal portal, and wind up halfway across the continent??? No wonder Princess Shroob is so depressed with such sheer dumb bad luck working against her lmao.

Okay 2 things, cause you said something that activated my ramble brain

  1. Princess Shroob had no idea what was going on initially. 4 Plumbers were hoping place to place and taking down her Shroob establishments and had no idea what was going on. Do you think she knew the brothers were after the Princess, that’s why she held that big stadium show of feeding Peach to Petey? Would make sense. I don’t think she knew it was time travel shenanigans until after she was transported to the future and realized the squad’s base of operation was a castle that looked exactly like hers. I think after that it started to click what was going on.
  2. Not a closed time loop? Partners in Time takes place entirely within a time loop. A Perfect Time Loop. One could argue even the Egadd timeline tampering was part of the time loop. This is canon beyond belief!

Nothing the bros do or what occurs affects the future cause it was already bound to happen! 6 key figures (Peach, Mario, Luigi, Toadsworth, Princess Shroob, Elder) disappear from the timeline at one point but nothing happens! Because it was a Loop! And were bound to return cause they have already returned and they will return!

Not a closed time loop, my absolute

ASS!

I already explained that inconsistency here

I know saying “oh its a mistranslation” or “its a movie thing” sounds like haphazardly waving away “lore” but the truth of the matter, it IS a perfect time loop. I doubt Alpha Dream would give a half ass explanation for how this takes place in an alternate timeline where the babies DID need their help… thinks about antasma’s backstory… alright well, it IS possible they half assed it.

However! This is a perfect loop and I’ll prove this by addressing 2 points!

  1. “they know what happens when they let [time travel] happen”

They did not know how it would happen cause they were babies when it first occurred to them. Neither Mario nor Luigi would be able to recall traveling through time with their older bros. And if they did, they wouldn’t be able to recall it was CAUSE of time travel that aall of this happened, cause they weren’t there, as babies, when the event occured!

Peach wouldn’t recall time traveling either as she was more of an infant than the bros were (as evident by her not being to stand while the bros could walk) and barely spent ANY time in the past when the Shroobs invaded

The only person who would know was Toadsworth and how was he when Peach time travelled?

2. Peach should know she shouldn’t travel to the past

I’ll admit, Peach should’ve been informed not to time travel to the past. A warning about events she would have no memory of. She should know to be careful with the time travel machine, right?

image

Unfortunately she was overcome with joy, eager to try out this new invention. In fact the wording here is the kind of wording you’d use when describing someone who made a grave mistake. And of course she did, the game just showed the past getting overrun by Shroobs and Peach is on her way to that time!

So we got a trio of fellas with no real memory of what exactly cause the events of the past to play out, or how they survived exactly but mostly got recounted by Toadsworth, Peach with no memory of this at all, Egadd not realizing it was his invention that cause and like nobody else in the mushroom kingdom talking about remembering this event.

In fact, why does Toadsworth not seem to find this moment familiar? I’m not talking about the time travel, I’m talking Aliens invading the mushroom kingdom. It seems the ol’ coot might’ve forgotten, oh no. Surely the oldest member who suffered the event would’ve tried to prevent Peach from traveling to the past, right?

If it doesn’t make sense for the babies to grow up and allow the events that transpired to occur again. Then, in the hypothetical where PiT hadn’t happened and they suffered through that without time travel shenanigans, how does how it make sense for the adult who would’ve remembered all of this more clearly to let the princess to travel to the past where it all happened?

In fact, if this isn’t a time loop, or even a perfect one at that, how do you explain Mario and Luigi going through all of that and barely affecting anything? Like just 1 thing, and nothing else?

What, are we just gonna chalk that up to bad writting? I suppose you’ll be okay if we chalk up Starlow claiming Mario defeated the Shroobs as babies with no time traveling as an inconsistency brought about by bad writting too then?

Check Mate Fella!

Ya know , the shroobs deserve more content. So here's the alien sisters . They're sorta known across the fandom but I don't believe they get enough Fanart or even official art.

(gave them a TIIIINY redesign for my AU but no big changes)

Also new oc dropped for story purposes, her name is the black Dahlia, she's an evil floral witch also a lesbian who cause lotta havoc and will cause more (a girlboss if you will) .

She like, created the dark orbs, scattered them across Flowardin kingdom and watched shit go down lol . And she also gave one to her great grandson cuz he's a little shut-

(I gotta finish the Google doc that contains the AU info omg)
