13. Favorite Flopside citizen?

uwaa... uuuwwaaaaa.. THIS IS SUCH A NICE MESSAGE TO COME BACK TO.. OHHHH... ngl this actually made me tear up sgkjsgkjgvksgkvsfvs i’m like. really really really happy you like the canon i work with... ive always been nervous about showing my headcanons to the world because i’m always terrified theyre going to get made fun of for being so outlandish/just going so Far offgame, so to know that you and other people here enjoy seeing them makes me really really happy.. q_q

there are many more stories i want to tell within the paper mario universe- and ill hopefully get to do it! this isn’t the end for me just yet- even if i can only do it through crude doodles, i want to try again.

thank you again!!!!!! ahhh this actually made me so so happy q_q and thank you for liking my art also! yours is beautiful too!!!!

oh! it didn’t, lol! 

this has been a pretty prominent ship for me for a while! i like it, tho i do worry about the age difference that’s present in some pple’s canon, but otherwise? absolutely valid ship. they work out so well together, just????? complementing characters. imagine if they joined forces in business, man; nastasia’s organization, mimi’s money handling and uh, absolute ruthlessness??? and charm, tbh. p sure they wouldn’t even need nastasia’s hypnotism to find willing workers, lol 

mimi is a good presence to get nastasia out of her shell, and help her, well move. nastasia can be... stagnated, sorta, in one place, for years sometimes. mimi helps her move on from her past, from the count, from the loss of this, honestly, probably really comfortable and safe feeling role she built for herself while she working for blu

nastasia... she grounds mimi. mimi has her head in the clouds, or keeps her focus on material things - clothes, money... nastasia, in her simple, straight forward way, brings mimi to the ground, to the present. 

right back at u queen......ily

oh boy… where do i even start with this one… 

i feel like in the game o’chunks and nastasia fall really easily into a “brain and brawn” sort of combination, but i don’t think that’s a healthy way for either of them to look at themselves. we see nastasia is just, she’s awful at showing care for others (her various “punishments” for o’chunks that probably really hurt his self esteem, her inability to talk about her feelings for the count without bringing timpani up and upsetting him). the care is there, obviously, there’s no reason she would ask someone like o’chunks to write a thousand-page essay about how much he sucks unless it was specifically to keep him out of mario’s way. a sad o’chunks is better than a dead o’chunks. but it obviously backfires, because o’chunks fights mario the most out of any of the minions, partly because he stops valuing himself at all! she picked one of the worst avenues to keep the man busy. nastasia tends to be very cruel to people she’s trying to protect. that will give her a mountain of trouble in any relationship where she feels she has to be protective.

meanwhile o’chunks is a lot of bluster and noise covering a genuine ability to be emotionally supportive. in flipside, in the postgame, he seems really concerned about nas! and i think his plan to cheer her up (keep her company, get her to eat that kind of thing) would probably really help her feel more stable. but the main obstacle with him is that the minute he feels like a failure, he impulsively gives up out of shame. o’chunks clearly holds nassy in high regard, to the point where it’s really easy to call it a crush, so he cares about her opinion of him. if he sat and thought about why she would be mean to him, he might be fine, but taking it at face value, that initial kneejerk is always to put himself down. 

as usual, i think these two would have too much trouble even starting a relationship until the postgame. all of these characters are kind of at their worst with the threat of impending obliteration haha, and o’chunks doesn’t seem to emotionally thrive in a setting where he’s expected to fight and protect. he’s much better at supporting people and cheering them up. i think once things calmed down, if o’chunks could work up the gumption to tell nastasia how he feels, they would have a chance to have a fulfilling relationship, but the “roles” the game puts them in would cause them both personal problems that would cause friction in the relationship. nastasia is also grieving the loss of her love in the postgame, and the stability of having a clear job, so they would have to be careful that chunky doesn’t become nastasia’s “job,” whatever that entails.

favorite thing about them: everything, trans queen of kindness and sweetness…….least favorite thing about them: this is a nitpick and not at all her fault but I always think her blush is her eye………favorite line: (choosing one was sooooo hard) “Mario! I’m fighting by your side from now on! I’ve made my choice… and I’m not turning back!”brOTP: vivi/doopliss….for you rubyOTP: I’m a pretty big fan of vivibella….nOTP: idt I have one!random headcanon: unpopular opinion: vivi’s crush on mario is a little excessive, imo…i get why it happens but she didn’t need to fall in love with him to figure out who she is! it sort of feels like a step back, and makes me feel bad for liking mario/peach….i just want her to be happysong i associate with them: i’ve got this song on the brain, esp. since vivi doesn’t have her own themefavorite picture of them:
