May I Ask For More Details About Your Mario AU? Namely, The Sequence Of Events Leading Up To Mario Trying

May I ask for more details about your Mario AU? Namely, the sequence of events leading up to Mario trying to fight Antasma alone after Luigi was attacked with nightmares? I live for Protective Big Brother Mario. ❤

Sure! So, in this au, Mario and Luigi are monster hunters. "Monsters" here being undead creatures such as boos and dry bones. They're known and admired as heroes all over the kingdons. One day, they were called to Roseway, a town in one of the northern kingdons, to fight a seemingly magic-induced plague of nightmares. There they met the legend of the bat king Antasma, ruler of nightmares. While part of the town saw him as a just a tale to scare children, others very much believed he was real and alive. So the brothers started to search, aided by bowser and peach. Turns out Antasma was real. And, rather than of nightmares, he fed of fear - normally causing that fear with nightmares, which caused that misconception. And he could sense fear much like some bats can sort of sense blood. So he took interest in the brothers. Mainly in Mario. Why? Because they were brave in different ways. Luigi was always scared, yet stayed and fought no matter how much his knees were shaking. Mario, on the other hand, seemed to know no fear. He was never truly scared. And Antasma wanted to feed on the fear of the man who was never scared. It would be the finest meal he would ever feast on. So he took advantage of mario's impulsive nature and put a curse on Luigi, plaguing him with nightmares. And Mario rushed to fight him as soon as he knew that was his fault, no matter how much Peach warned him not to go unprepared and alone.

After that goes terribly wrong, I guess Mario stays as Antasma's prisioner until his friends (led by a very angry Luigi) attack the castle and beat the crap out of the stupid bat

SCREW THIS *gives myself a laywright as a birthday present*

More stuff from my au. Not sure about the context for this, but i’d guess it’s their first date, ending with a dance in the streets. And, btw, the little blue stone Layton’s wearing was a gift from Wright. c:

🥺🥺🥺🥺 aaaaa thank you!

REBLOG if you have amazing talented artist friends!

This game is so chaotic and I love it also thanks for making me watch The Blues Brothers dad

 Here it is! Thanks @mrjarviss , @smilesrobotlover , @zero-aurion , @meddling-imp , @timea1412 , @monogueen and @aganhim for the suggestions! (There’s seven cuz I got two people asking for Linebeck. Clearly I’m surrounded by people of culture. )

 Anyways this was very fun to draw and made me realize Clark dresses EXACTLY like Phoenix Wright which I’ll never unsee again

I can imagine that Luke and Maya would enjoy pulling pranks on Phoenix and Hershel!

Hah, that's adorable! Personally, I think Maya would love to pull pranks on Nick on every possible ocasion, when she realizes she has a (temporarily) ghost friend who can make stuff float or disappear and things like that. And I think Luke would be a little nervous at first, afraid of upsetting Wright, but as soon as he gets closer to him he would enjoy helping Maya. But. Luke would be SO nervous if the target was Layton. And Maya would soon realize Layton is so annoyingly OP he just kinda predicts the pranks and silently avoids them. So they keep targeting Nick. Who eventually gets tired of this and asks Luke to help him prank Maya this time. So the three just kind of get locked in an eternal war while Hershel calmly drinks his tea in the corner, completely unnafected.
