Some Mario School Doodles (mostly Luigi)

Some Mario school doodles (mostly Luigi)

Yeah plus it kind of makes sense that she'd be better at doing things than Mario and Luigi counting on the whole fact that they literally just got there she'd know more about her place of origin than any of them and her actually teaching Mario how to get around and fight in this new world he's been placed into is actually a really cool concept for the relationship instead of it just being him saving her dental in distress style. Plus I think the whole thing about Luigi being in the damsel in distress position is that a kind of fits his personality of being cowardice Plus like op said the more of a reason for Mario to actually try and help instead of just saving some random woman. Honestly I love the trailer if I had to say one bad thing it's the obvious: crisp rat. But other than that I'm actually really excited for this and I've even set up a plan for me in a couple of my friends go watch the movie and maybe even cosplay.

Discourse on Twitter over Princess Peach’s being a GirlBoss or portrayed as capable in the trailers while Mario is a fish-out-of-water and Luigi is the damsel-in-distress was not the reaction I thought we’d be getting…..”Peach Skywalker” I’m not even a Star Wars fan and I already know what this means. I can already feel the “Mary Sue” discourse coming, I figured people would be ecstatic over the inversion of Mario wanting to save his blood brother over some random princess and a female character being her own protector of her kingdom rather than needing to be saved by some guy and play the role of a trophy female character….

So I wrote a fic and someone commented about Megami's roll in the book and in the game series.

I started thinking about it and actually did some research. So basically I looked into a couple of points of information about Megami, her family, and her point of view on Ayano. So here's some of the stuff that I collected.

Video on the computer:

“Do you even know who I am?”

“My father won’t let me attend while you are still…active.”

“He has a reason for tolerating your presence at this school. I don’t.”

“... only allowed to exist because you serve a purpose.”

“...every last one of you would be exterminated.”

“If you and I ever cross paths…”

So I have a few things I can take away from this video. First, Ayano and Megami haven’t officially met yet. And I assume from the fact her family also knows about Ayano, and presumably her family line, that Megumi learned about the Aishi’s through her own family. Second, her family, aside from Megami herself, find a purpose or reason to have Ayano around. That reason is unclean but is also backed up by the call the headmaster gets at the end of the week. And finally, “...every last one of you…” is a very important detail because that implies two things. Either a: She knows that its the Aishi family lineage of being “yanderes” or b: there are multiple families like the Aishi. The second is a stretch but I can’t deny how cool it’d be.

Official Character Bios

From bottom to top

Student council:

No real useful or new info.

Kencho Saikou:

Immediately talk about Megami having an objective, and that she will be replaced, if she dies or leaves, by her younger brother.

Side note I hope he is used in a future elimination.

“Wife”:

Father is a psycho, making Megami a hypocrite. Ngl the parallel to the father and nazi mind set are there, dont bring up that though bc there are already enough controversies. Jesus christ they literally call him out on eugenics. The wife of the son is a spy?? Who is she?? What's her motivation?

Ichiko Saikou:

Sister of father,aunt, she was the first heir but ran away. The school is a high school in name but college in concept? The “Twin Girl” who went missing. I assume whoever is reading this already knows of the twin theories.

Ichirou Saikou:

Father. Megami apparently likes art and animals. He is also described as “Soulless” and “Robotic”. Does the Saikou family have the same problems as the Aishi’s? Is this why Megami hates Ayano, because she hates her dad and the Aishi’s are similar to her father? Is this also why the father knows so much about Aishi’ condition? Because Ayano is described as being “activated” and if they only knew of the Aishi’s based on the court case they wouldn’t know about the switch that happens why the Aishi’s find their “Senpais”.

Saisho Saikou:

Grandfather and founder of Saikou corp, just as tyrannical as father. Past military volentr also possible nazi sympathizer. Ot much info in bio itself but info sprinkled in other family members Bios.

About the story ideas I wanted to elaborate on each one thanks to a commenter on the original post.

So the one that is centered around Luigi's Mansion 3 is basically about Bowser and Luigi have been friends for a bit but have yet to start actually dating. They share their plans, they talk about their families, you know friendly things. But Bowser gets a little worried when one of Luigi's trips with his family to the hotel in the video game when he doesn't come back in time, a week stay turning into months of not being around. when Bowser looks into this and goes to save Luigi worried that he may be in harm's Way he goes to the hotel and immediately know something's up when he goes in he sees that everyone that you would save normally is captured again and Luigi is nowhere to be found. Wild Bowser is looking frantic about something bad might have happened to him he comes across Gooigi. And that's all I can tell you without getting in spoiler territory.

And as for the soulmate AU basically it's your average soulmate to you but the actual power of a soulmate is a little different. Basically you have a relationship status of your soulmate somewhere on your body telling you what their love life is like "he's in love with someone he thinks this is soulmate." Or "he is dating someone." But the most important thing is that the message glows, however, the glowing stops once your soulmate realizes who you are. So if Bowser found out that his soulmate was Luigi before Luigi found out Bowser was his soulmate only Luigi's message would stop glowing cuz the message on the opposite person to who knows is the one that stops glowing. I don't know if that's a good explanation of it though but I think y'all get the jist.

Okay I found a way to bypass it it's all good now and I started writing that story want to keep everyone who's actually interested up to date because I'm so excited to write it thing and I can't get too much into it cuz it's like the biggest spoiler of the story but I need to know if I write this story do I go Crank it up to 11 and make the steaks so high and try and make my audience cry or do I dial it back and still keep that like tension but not as high risk. I'm still thinking about that cuz if I can't get up to 11 there's no chance there's a happy ending but if I keep it a little bit more on the outside they're still chance for Happy ending it's just going to be very tense.

So I was looking at the Mario chart and I wanted to figure out everyone's height. So I use the official height of Jumpman himself of 5'1 or 154.94 cm. Considering that it takes six notches on the board to get to Mario's height I divided 154.94 cm by 6 giving me that each notch is about 25.823 repeating. The first character I calculated the height of was Luigi, he is about half a notch taller than Mario so I took my to 25.823 and divided it by 2. Then added that to Mario's height giving me a height of 167.8516 repeating. Or about 5'6. 

The character that I calculated for was Bowser. The tricky thing about Bowser though is that his shell is slightly higher than his actual head so I did two measurements for him. Going up to his shell because it is twice the height of Mario and a lot easier to calculate, he is 309.88 cm or a bit taller than 10'1. However, that height includes his shell, not the top of his head. The top of his head is about a notch and a half shorter than his shell so I calculated for this, about 271.145 cm or about 8'10. Which is interesting because there's a man in the Guinness world record book named Sultan Kösen who is 251 cm or about 8'2. 

The next character I calculate for is rather easy as well, Peach. Not including the crown, she's an entire notch taller. This makes her about 180.763 repeating cm or about 5'9, with the crown though she is about 189.37111107 cm for about 6'1. By the way the crown is about 1/3 of a notch.

The next character on The chopping block is now toad. He stands about 4⅓ notches tall, meaning I can multiply 4⅓ by the height of each notch. Which gives me about 111.901 repeating cm or about 3'8.

This one that I'm going to cover is Kamek. He is another tricky to calculate character because of his hat. The first thing I'm going to go over is his hat included height, which is 129.116 repeating cm or around 4'2. Now this is where we get into a bit of assumptions since we have no models of his hat actually being off but I would assume that he's about four notches high because that's where his hat begins to actually taper into a triangle shape and it's also where you can see the most wrinkles in the hats material. If that is his actual height, then he is about 103.293 repeating cm or just about 3'3.

I didn't bother to calculate the heights for the other two cuz not only are both of them very similar in height but their background characters are not really main characters. I don't think anyone's going to be really shocked if I say that's like 5 ft whatever. If you're curious though you can use the measurements that I used, it's very simple I use desmos.

The thing that I'm still thinking about is Bowser and if his height actually affects him in a physical way because I'm thinking of like the health problems I've very tall athletes usually have. Or if you can think of the episode from the film theorist where they were looking about ant-man's ability to change his height and how that affect him on a physical scale I wonder if the same can be applied to Bowser. Though I don't know he is a fire breathing dragon so I don't know if real world physics would affect him at all. And hell now that I'm thinking about it I might post this on the game theorist subreddit or send this to Matt Pat on Twitter I don't know yet.
