Not that anyone asked but I'm gonna say it anyway. Princess Daisy isn't the tomboy people present her as. She's not the butch or the jock or the rather-not-be-in-dress that I see people constantly lean into with her.

She's competitive.

Like in what we've gotten for her:

She does all the sports (so does Peach but I rarely see her portrayed more masc than femme).

She's vain (+occasionally bossy).

She's got high standards for approval.

Obsessed with winning.

I understand 1 dimensional characters and character tropes and how a singular interpretation of a 1d character will never satisfy everyone (believe me, I saw the movie, I know). However, when I boiled Daisy down to her dry bone essentials: She's Competitive.

Princess Peach be like 'girls just want to have fun. It's me. I'm girls.' From what I've seen of her she is the classic damsel in distress due to the deadly combo of being obliviously confident and accident prone.

Playing Luigi's Mansion (3DS remake) for the first time:

Day, 1

I love that he hums the tune.

Rage and hate and sadness, there is a leaky shower head and Luigi doesn't fix it.

Sound design on the locked doors slaps, 10/10 will mess with a locked door repeatedly just to head the sqee sqee sqeek raddle raddle.

Controls are wonk, expectation is experience will make less wonk.

Day 2,

Luigi really likes things neat and clean.

Comments also lead me to believe that he thinks he's still gonna keep the mansion after everything.

It should not have taken me that long to find Mario's letter.

How the fuck do I battle Bowser?

Day 3,

Oh, that's how I battle Bowser.

Experience made controls less wonk.

Put that boy in the washing machine.

Sibling on sibling violence.

Rank E? Aw, he does get a mansion*
