how am i supposed to explain to people that one of my favorite pieces of media is a live action grimdark mario fanfiction filmed as a series of youtube shorts/tiktoks made by a bi4bi married couple in elaborate cosplay playing multiple characters, which they accomplish by clever use of camera angles

more mariolore nonsense, not real mario

Rewatching the series, I'm struck once again by how mmm devoted? The toads are to their human masters/ employers.

Especially Toadette, especially in the second act before she has more outside relationships/ friends with Mario, Luigi, and Toad... there's something so very desperate and dog-like at times about how she idolizes Peach and vies for her favor, even to her own detriment/ at her own cost.

For example, when she intercedes with Bowser on Peach's behalf after the cheating scandal and risks essentially telling off her superior/ her employer in an effort to make Bowser more sympathetic to Peach/ to reconcile the two.

Or all the times she tries to be Peach's genuine friend and give her advice, even when Peach never reciprocates this friendship and only ever treats her like a servant.

Or even in the third act when Peach kills Boo (and then runs out into the hallway and IMMEDIATELY tells the very first person she sees lmao), Toadette's loyalty is steadily and unerringly to Peach, not to the crown, and not to her own self preservation either.

Like, Toadette is SO aligned with Peach/ is SO loyal, that, even though Boo's murder had nothing to do with her and she could have just turned around and booked it, she instead immediately becomes an accomplice and covers up Peach's actions, seemingly without even thinking about it.

That quiet presupposition of complete and total loyalty in a character is. It just does something to me man, I don't know.

But although this is a type of love, it's also a complete blindness-- when Daisy criticizes Peach, for example, Toadette has this outburst about how "you're supposed to be her friend!" which I think is a great bit of writing on dinobunny's part.

It shows quite clearly how Toadette is SO consumed by this worship of Peach that she a) can't stand any criticism of her at all, even when Peach might genuinely deserve it and b) she doesn't understand how in a real friendship between equals, part of the deal is calling your friend out on their bs and being honest when there's something they need to change.

Anyways, TLDR Toadette the kinda girl to sit at Peach's feet on the floor just in the hopes Peach will put a hand on her head, woof woof Peach come get ur bitch before she tells Mario and luigi more state secrets

Oh and as for Toadsworth... hooo boy don't get me started. I've made a couple other posts about Toadsworth's Boo-shaped blindspot (and also written about 5k words on ao3, here is a shameless self promo) but Toadsworth's total support of Boo, even as he does some pretty monstrous shit (e.g. murder, general tyranny and poor leadership of the country, running himself into the ground, destroying his brother's marriage, etc etc the list goes on) is a relationship of devotion in the same vein as Toadette's.

Although I think for Toadsworth it comes more from having known Boo since he was a child, rather than the mutated crush Toadette seems to be suffering from...

You wonder the kind of stuff you have to go through with someone to erase all their faults from your eyes, to see them nearly permanently not for how they are but for how they used to be.

I wonder if all close servile relationships bxt characters eventually become like this, where they start caring more about the other person than themself, or if this is just a motif in the mariolore universe that dinobunny are playing with shrug emoji

Attention Tumblr users and all of my followers!

I apologize for not speaking on this sooner, but I simply can’t keep this inside anymore. There is a series that y’all need to know about, and I will not be one to gatekeep! It’s called Mariolore, by the channel DinoBunnyCosplay, and while it sounds silly, or weird, I promise you it’s amazing! Attached I have the latest video, and I encourage you to watch it, and treat it as a trailer. Unless you’d rather have no spoilers at all, which is also fine!

I kid you not when I say this series of shorts has amazing lore, backstory, character design and personality, lighting, editing, acting, props, cosplay, suspense, and development. I absolutely adore Ken and Kade, the married couple that runs the channel, and among Mariolore, they also make and show off other cosplays, such as Hazbin Hotel, Death Note, Helluva Boss, Fairly Odd Parents, and others I can’t remember at this moment. 😅

Ken is Dinobunny, and Kade is Dinograveyard. They can be found on YouTube and TikTok, and possibly other sites and/or apps I am unaware of. They also have a Patreon you can subscribe to to gain early access to episodes and special features! I myself am not a subscriber to any Patreons, but if that sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to support them and go for it!

On their channel, they will have playlists and compilation videos for Mariolore, and while it may seem overwhelming just looking at all of it, plus the Boo and Rosalina lore, it isn’t! If it’s interesting to you, you can take your time, or binge it all in one night like I did. 😅

No, this is not an ad. No, I was not sponsored or told by them to make this. I simply enjoy their content and would like to share it with anyone else who might like it but not know about it.

Now, for the big reveal you’ve all been waiting for…the “trailer”! Keep in mind that this is the latest Mariolore video, so if you don’t want any spoilers, steer clear!

Spoilers for Mariolore ahead!

Well, what did you think? Please let me know in the replies down below, and reply if you watch more and get interested! I want to see how y’all feel about it!
