I just noticed Mario is so small compared to Don Pianta he barely can see over the desk!

^Don Pianta POV when a random small man asks for a Blimp Ticket^

I love how a part of Paper Mario TTYD is that not just once, but at least TWICE Mario has to ask favors of a local mafia Don in regards to his DAUGHTER running off with his Right Hand Man (and usage of the word Underboss correctly) to get MARRIED; and then brings said young couple BACK after the Don has a health scare-in which he announces his retirement, says his son-in-law is the boss now and says Mario can swing by ANYTIME that he's cool and now that he's Retired, he's gonna fuck off and hang out at his gambling parlor now, maybe do some golfing.

Just normal parts of Paper Mario.

Don Pianta: Lemme tell you sumthin' Mario. I been havin' a lotta powerful 'n' confusin' feelings ever since my Francesca an' dat Frankie got engaged. Like da fact dat Frankie is a potential nickname for Francesca. Which would mean my Frankie is marryin' Frankie. Frankie 'n' Frankie. People will be callin' dem da Frankies. An' dere's already a Professor Frankly livin' in dese parts, so that's basically an etymological nightmare just waitin' ta happen. Yeesh. If they name their child Francis I might suffer a coronary. And it'll be a question of which Frankie delivers da eulogy. Anyway, I also wonder what kinda cheap excuse for a rock dat boy got as an engagement ring. He knows he coulda just crimed up a better one, right?

Jim Pianta Headcanons

(edited to undo my undoing)

Main Timeline

A young purple Pianta who somehow has thick black eyebrows despite Piantas normally having no eyebrows at all

His mother is Don Pianta's sister. She's not involved with the Pianta Mafia so Jim and his uncle aren't really that close

They are at least close enough that Jim was able to meet Lily once or twice via Don's "business meetings" with the Estrellas before she ran away

A sensitive soul, though a bit dim. That dimness and his uncle's influence is why he goes along with Zack and Larry's pranks

Has always wanted to be a Chuckster and was very happy to get to keep the Suplex copy ability that GG gave him

Very creative with a keen eye for fashion, which is being bolstered by GG's ongoing experiments with acting like a "normal" girl. May end up becoming a fashion designer when he grows up

Tends to call Zack "boss" for some reason. Zack did not ask him to do that

Dim Quadrants Timeline

During the fall of the Mushrom Kingdom's original government, his mom had to turn to her brother for safety

This led to Jim being far more heavily influenced by his uncle, and eventually being named his heir

Despite that influence he can't bring himself to be anywhere near as ruthless as the Don was, since he is still Jim at the end of the day

Misses Zack and Larry terribly

Still isn't too bright, but being raised as the Don's replacement and getting practical experience as both a member and leader of a crime syndicate has forced him to wise up in some areas

Has a soft spot for kids and is as close with Poppy as he can get away with

Because of this he's the source of pretty much anything good and true Poppy has heard about her sister...which admittedly isn't much since they weren't exactly close

Never did manage to develop the kind of arm strength necessary to be a Chuckster

Has heard rumors of a hidden city in the Pipe Network (the brick chambers connected by warp pipes that make up most Underground Levels) founded by a blue and white catwoman to give people refuge from the quadrants above, and is working himself and his men to the stem trying to find it alongside their regular duties. Officially it's a mission from the bosses, but Jim's actually doing it for himself. Because that description fits Karen and Katie, which means it's a potential lead on reuniting with his real Boss.

Little does he know, this is actually a much more direct lead than he thinks...

POST RESTORED!

Don Pianta's introduction scene (or rather, immediately after it) in the Bob's Last Stand arc is when Lily finally finds out that Bob knows about her being an Estrella and Anonymous L. This is because she's there at the hotel when Don shows up to threaten Bob, and when he sees her he pulls the "honorary uncle who hasn't seen you in a while" card, basically outing her to everyone in the room (thankfully just his own men and Bob, since Bob had the guests and staff clear out of the hotel lobby for their safety when he saw the Piantas coming).

So when he and the other Piantas leave, there's no longer the immediate anger and fear at what Don's doing to her real honorary uncle to distract her from a freakout over part of her past catching up to her, and in the process of calming her down Bob admits that he's known both her secrets since they first met.

#smg4 #smg4 ocs #bob's last stand arc #scene idea #don pianta #lily #bob bobowski #he'd have much preferred for this conversation to happen when she was ready for a reveal #but don just has to ruin everything of bob's that he touches #even the very few things he isn't intending to ruin #slight angst #bob not letting his employees get caught in the crossfire of his and don's confrontation is a sign of things to come in the arc #and of his growth

Idea for either an arc or a movie: Bob's Last Stand

Ever since Bob moved to the Mushroom Kingdom in general and New Donk City in particular, he's been a thorn in the side of the Pianta Mafia. A thorn they were mostly content to ignore unless their paths crossed directly, but after all these years and with how successful he's become, Don Pianta's had enough. So now, he's gonna hit that slimy trash bag where it hurts unless he clears out.

His business? Crushed by competition.

His accounts? Drained.

His reputation? The backlash after Darkest Hour will look like glowing praise in comparison after they're through.

His loved ones? His life? Well, if he's smart it won't have to come to that...

It doesn't help that the Don used to be a business associate of the Estrellas and recognizes Lily when he first shows up to threaten Bob with all this. Or that he manages to manipulate Marcy into helping him, going by the logic that if Bob's no longer living in the Mushroom Kingdom with his friends it might be easier for her to convince him to rejoin the clan (which massively sets back the progress she didn't even realize she'd made on repairing their relationship after he finds out).

To make matters worse, the mayoral election is right around the corner, and one of the more popular candidates is secretly in the Don's pocket.

Not willing to back down, Bob's going to have to fight with everything he has to keep the life he's worked so hard to make for himself...or die trying.

#smg4 #smg4 ocs #bob's last stand arc #bob bobowski #don pianta #lily #marcy bobowski #serves as a successor to the rapper bob arc #and hopefully a conclusion to the bobowski family drama #and the estrella family drama #you don't need every arc to be eldritch horrors and big lore drops and metahumor #sometimes you just need organized crime and politics #the rest of the crew are just as invested as bob is #both because he's their friend and because if the hotel gets wiped out meggy's going to be homeless too #Marcy Faces Consequences For Her Actions #And Realizes She's Been In The Wrong The Whole Damn Time

idk had a random thought to draw him kinda like the kingpin cartoon nude alt https://twitter.com/Nanothehedgehog/status/1585143909025341440?s=20&t=msJckNYoL-ad6L29RyEBqg
