What Do Your Initials Say About You?

Ah ha. Ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. If only. I don't know. Is this quiz being ironic? :(

I'm going to get this out of the way. I can be as open-minded about ships as I want, but I won't lie that there are some are simply don't like or can't stand. That said?

I HATE BOWSER/PEACH



There's just something about them that makes me irrationally angry. :/ Over at FF.net, fangirls write their summaries featuring fics where Bowser's a perfect-but-misunderstood gentleman and Peach secretly loves him and can see his Good Heart Inside, and doesn't give a damn about Mario who made enormous sacrifices to rescue her, but wait he's really a selfish lech no wonder Peach can't stand him! Mario would never understand the depths of their forbidden love! GEE I WONDER WHY. Maybe because Bowser rips apart her kingdom and all she holds dear while trying to force her into marriage? Because twu wuv, hearts and kisses, and romance is being ordered around and locked up by a giant reptile, where you're left with nothing to do in your scary cell but cry for hours. So Bowser developed feelings for her. But Peach does not reciprocate them! The closest she got to caring for him is sympathy. Other than that, when has she ever gotten close to him? When does she ever admit a positive quality of him that can be interpreted as beyond platonic? BUT BOWSER AND MOMMA PEACH HAD KIDZ SO THATZ TWU WUV!111!!1 No it is not. No. It is. Not. Ask any teenage mother knocked up by her boyfriend who bailed out before the baby was born. For all we know, the Koopalings could've been brought by Mr. Stork, just like how Bowser was delivered and cared for by Kamek. Bowser could've been bribing birds for kids so he could have a successor, or an easier way of getting at Peach. (7 kids, especially bratty as they are, are super hard to handle. XD!) He tricked Bowser Jr. into believing Peach was his mother. Which does not mean Bowser, Peach and Bowser Jr. are automatic family! If they are, then damn, it's a family built by deceit, unwillingness, and lies. This is the stuff I hate and can't stand, and seeing it passed of as superficial 50s smoochie-woochies pisses me off. Not what I want in my Mario games, kthnx. God, I can't even like Bowser and Peach in a dysfunctional relationship. Peach feels nothing for him, and no sparks fly from her head. No lust, just disgust. She thinks he's a monster and a villain: not because she can't see "the good inside", but because of his actions: hurting her friends, wreaking havoc among her people, and fully intent on snatching her kingdom in his reptilian grasp. There's nothing for me here. I can't feel it.

Bowser/Mario, on the other hand, that I could play with. Because Mario reacts to Bowser's advances beyond his usual bad, and there's more subtext for me to believe in. Strange couple, and may squick a few: "MARIOZ A PLUMBER!!11!1" Didn't stop Mario/Peach. "BOWZERZ A REPLTLE!!11!!" Didn't stop the Bowser/Peach shippers. "ITZ GAY!!11!" So's Bowser/Peach. *shot* I kid. But we've got Peasley/Luigi, right? Right? :D *cough* Okay, maybe Mario yaoi isn't popular aside from that pairing. But I'd MUCH rather have evil turtle hugs over a fantasy I see happening only in Bowser's dreams. The closest it gets is one-sided. :/

I end my rant with this: "So long, dear Bowser!"

Other than that, Puri had a lovely day with Dad and my darling doggie Amanda today~ ♥
