So what exactly is the hierarchy in terms of the important figures in the MK? Cause in one of the earlier snippets where Luigi effectively swats Merlon out of his house Dimentio is surprised until he realizes Luigi is apart of the scales. So where do the rest of the Star children rank around the shamans and the bros? And what about other figures like KB?

so association with stars is generally the most important thing. the whole religion/culture of the MK revolves around stars.

i took a lot of inspiration from greek/roman mythology tbh

to the general public, Star Spirits are on top, essentially the 'gods' of the world. the Spirits' direct emissaries (like Starlow, Twink, and Geno) are highly regarded but not worshipped.

Star Children are 'demigods.' their actions are often prophesized, but NOT predestined. one is not more important that the other. they aren't born by conventional means, and they're always delivered to guardians via stork.

HOWEVER! the general public doesn't know about the existence of Star Children. those who have intimate dealings with them tend to realize that they're special, but not why (unless they're told, like when Toadsworth was given charge of baby Peach, or Kamek receiving Bowser).

shamans like Merlon are pious and devoted to the stars, and they're the ones doing the prophesizing, so they know the significance of the Star Children. his job is to serve them without MEDDLING. so he can advise Luigi if asked, but he's NOT allowed to tell Luigi what he can or cannot do, because that would be blasphemous. to the shamans the future is a sacred process and shouldn't be swung any which way due to personal whims.

(and that's why all the shamans resent Dimentio so much)

King Boo and Rosalina are also Star Children, from a previous batch. Rosalina might be considered to be on a higher tier just because she has regular dealings with the stars and their emissaries.

(it should also be noted that the 'prophecy of scales' does not necessarily make Mario and Luigi more important than the other Star Children - the shamans are more obsessed with the prophecy itself rather than the players in it)

[lizadale]

I can't really picture Mario in med school, so that's an interesting take .?

i mean, i can't either - but it was my way of incorporating Dr. Mario (before the series became Dr. Everyone-else-too >_>) into the general timeline back when i was convinced i had to work EVERY mario game into one world.

the idea was that Mario started the endeavor in Brooklynn and made it past first year into interning when the bros ran out of funds (part of his reason for doing being that Luigi kept having weird ass medical episodes that went unexplained until they tumbled into Mushroom Kingdom), and then he dropped out and did a bunch of odd jobs with Luigi (carpentry, wrecking crew, billboard painting, refereeing...) before they took up the old family plumbing business.

so he's got just enough medical knowledge to triage and safely patch people up during adventures and such

[lizadale]

Does Luigi not go into direct sunlight because of magic BS or is it just because he’s a sickly shut-in

technically he's a sickly shut-in because of magic BS :D

i personally think his body reacts to the sun with fatigue and maybe a little nausea, which is why he lives in a forest where the light can't get through the trees. like he's ok outside in a clear day for a while, but it wears on him gradually. if it's overcast or otherwise filtered, it's fine--it's just direct sunlight that he finds unpleasant.

less on-topic, but i also feel like he's always been kinda sickly in general. Mario has an immune system made of titanium, but Luigi was always like catching pneumonia in the middle of summer or whatever as a kid and that's why Mario wanted some training in the medical field - to take care of his lil bro

(Footsteps rapidly approach your location before the door is kicked in, my eyes wide, hilding out an empty plate)

You. I ate everything you have on the Dim and Luigi AU. Can I have more? Angst is my favorite flavor.

(On a serious note I love your writing style, and the way you explain everything from magic systems to deep and unexplained emotion... I am absolutely floored and find myself hungry for more. But inly if you wish to give it or make it no pressure at all! Thank you for what you have made it fuels my own writings.)

thank youuuuu i'm sorry you ran out of food, i am an extremely slow cook 😭

it will get updated...someday. as soon as i score a vacation probably

[lizadale]

what is dimentios birthday for tomodachi reasons

i'll be honest, i didn't give anyone birthdays nor am i allowing them to age lmao making up birthdays requires too much brain power atm

you could make him a classic fool (4/1) or give him a birthday sometime in the first week of August (international clown week) 🤷

[lizadale]

so I’ve had tomodachi for less than 24hrs and somehow Blumiere and Dimentio are already married

[mythighost]

@lizadale take my art of shadow prince au before I get too scared to post it again lol

I love these guys and their toxic dynamic, I hope Luigi beats Dimentio up. Also, I just wanted to put him in a silly little outfit.

[lizadale]

ohhh my goodness YESSSSS

i love all the little details, too!! the moon earrings!! dem boots!! i hope Dimentio falls on his stupid face!!

[lizadale]

happy SPM day, here's all of them together so far

[lizadale]

where'd your pinned post with all the links go? :(

whoops, sorry! it's back now, i unpinned it to edit it and forgot to repin it

[cometapollo]

@lizadale i had a horrible idea

[lizadale]

fukcing-

I NEVER REALIZED HOW CAPTAIN FALCON-ESQUE MR L'S SUIT WAS I AM SHOOK

lmfao they both have old urban superhero vibes but it was still really funny to me when i first realized it: scarf, buttons, belt, visor style, ridiculous posing. Mr L is just a Captain Falcon wannabe

[lizadale]

Do you have any ideas for how/why Luigi devised the Mr L costume?

[lizadale]

would dimentio have the shadow queen in his phone as " "mother" " or "bringer of mental problems"?

you think he would bother adding her number at all?? he's probably blocked her nine times and she keeps borrowing other people's phones to get through. if he had it saved it'd probably just say "DO NOT ANSWER"

...now i'm picturing like. the shadow queen is still stuck underground but she keeps calling dimentio at work just to be obnoxious. when your cursed mom calls from her coffin asking how to connect the wifi

[lizadale]

well now i wanna see the dimigi au cast as tbhk characters jkjk unless

i don't have a dimigi version but i do have this ancient cringe mario bros doodle it took me way too long to track down

honestly though it's tempting to draw luigi in yashiro's dress too

[lizadale]

did you know I was the anon that sent you that ask asking for more dimigi that caused you to start posting dimigi au

you. you have a lot to answer for.
