Hello! I'm Mrs. Luigi Vargas; you can call me Dami if you want!

On this blog, I generally make posts about fanfiction I've written or read, posts about media I'm thinking about, and some posts about my own life.

Speaking of stuff I've written and read, you can click here for the fics I've written and click here for fics I've recced. There's also an other recs tag, too, for non-fanfic recs. I'm on AO3 as MrsLuigiVargas, if you'd rather read my works there or peruse my many bookmarks. My transformative works policy is on my AO3 profile; the tl;dr is that blanket permission is granted to make all transformative works with proper credit as long as there's no AI involved in making it.

My main fandom is the Super Mario series; I’ve been writing fanfiction for it since 2020! Other fandoms I’m familiar with and fond of include: The Murderbot Diaries, Sonic the Hedgehog, MCYT (e.g. Skyblock Kingdoms, Hermitcraft), Ace Attorney, Linked Universe, 2012-era Avengers, Hetalia, Steven Universe. My interests are on my profile!

I also play videogames (on my Switch and SteamDeck), and my favorite video games are Miitopia, Paper Mario: the Origami King, Rhythm Doctor, Wandersong, and Little Rocket Lab. Other hobbies of mine include singing, baking, and fiddling with my personal Neocities site!

I'm also on Pillowfort as mrsluigivargas and on Tumblr as

mrs-luigi-vargas.

Finally, you're welcome to comment on anything you see, no matter how old or new the post, or how long or short your comment!

Only one for last week! Reading this reminded me of some of the other Supernatural crossovers ft. Gabriel I’ve read in the past, haha. They were mostly Avengers ones, though.

To Gabriel, an archangel, storms have always seemed small. Yet when he's taken off guard by Hermitcraft's weather and caught in the rain, he has a chance encounter that might shift his perspective.

I went and took advantage of Crunchyroll's Ani-MAY sale so now I have a functioning Crunchyroll account for the first time in forever, haha. I decided to catch up on season 4 of That TIme I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and then I binged Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill because that one's been on my list for a while.

And I really liked Campfire Cooking! It's very sweet and wholesome. I really love Sui because its cute and loves to kill things, and also that uncle conversation it had with Mukoda and Fel made me go 'oh, i hope there's shipfic with the main guy and the wolf' and then I went on AO3 and there was the shipfic on the front page and I love a fandom that knows exactly what it's supposed to be doing, lmao.

This is probably because I binged it all within the span of two days, but the anime definitely got really same-y by the end, ha. I started fastforwarding through the cooking parts 💀 I think personally I'd like the anime even better if there was a little crunch to it to really bring it home; in its absence I started to get low-key freaked out by the housewife-ification of Mukoda, for real. Someone save him, please XD Even if it's just like, an episode where he gets burnt out for a while or something, and then everyone else tries to cook him something for a change, and they bungle it real bad, but he eats the results anyway and cries about the thoughtfulness of it all and etc, etc, etc, you know? It doesn't have to be much. He could even miss home for like 5 seconds!

I don't really begrudge the anime for any of that, though. It wants good, light-hearted fun with tasty food and it certainly delivers on that front! And I really appreciated that!

(I could wholly do without the deity interludes, though; they're so useless and the comic relief doesn't land in the slightest. I'm glad season 2 had way less of them, lmao)

Anyway, between this and Reincarnated as a Slime I'm finding that I really like the kinds of shows that have the protagonist wandering around being no-strings-attached kind to people. And then that kindness comes back three-fold because of course it does! That's how kindness should be! It's great.

EDIT: I also got to watch Parallel World Pharmacy today and it was lovely! Definitely has the at least little bit of angst I'd wanted, haha. I am kind of obsessed with the boss battle at the end, though. Like, we already have the potential Black Death epidemic looming over everyone for our epic tension-filled 3rd act, I'm not sure we needed an evil spirit skeleton man running around, too. One that mostly failed at being a foil to the main protagonist, no less. Oh, well. The main character flies on a ~~broomstick~~ magic wand. It was really cool for no reason at all and he only did it like twice. He's also actively avoiding overworking himself because that's how he died the first time, and his new sister reminds him of his old sister who died from illness and is the main reason he studied medicine. And the Queen thinks he's neat!

I cleared out more of my Marked For Later list this week, so now those 8 pages have reduced...to one!

Fandoms: Ace Attorney, Dragon Quest XI, Harry Potter, Linked Universe, Empires SMP, Hermitcraft x DCU, Naruto, Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Murderbot Diaries, Xenoblade Chronicles Series

( Bookmarked fics here: )

Exciting news for me and only me: a new Nintendo Alarmo update dropped today, and you can pick favorite alarms for the clock to shuffle through!!! Finally, I can banish most of the Pikmin alarms to the shadow realm!!! Yay!!! 😄

Anwyay between this and the last update's ability to preview songs and the update before that's ability to change the duration of the Sleepy Sounds timer I can probably now say that buying the Nintendo Alarmo was one of the best things I've done for myself relatively recently. Take that, everyone who decided that this device "wasnt worth $100" or whatever the fuck!!!

This week: A few fics from my Marked for Later list, and some MCYT fics!

( Bookmarked fics here: )

I will admit, The Flight SMP is growing on me a little. Just a little though. The Celestial Quartet is intriguing.

My choirmate sent me this super awesome oatmeal raisin cookie recipe that I was gonna try baking tonight but unfortunately my oven threw up an error code and freaked out while I was making lunch earlier 😞 So someone else should make it and then remind me of how good it is while I wait for an electrician 🥺

Just finished the Murderbot Diaries Platform Decay audiobook and OMG it was so fun!!! I enjoyed it much more than I did System Collapse, hahaha. That one was so clearly set up for this, and it was SO worth it!!! There were a lot of fun moments XD And some cute moments, too. When the marketing said this was the "road trip from Hell" they were Not Joking, lmaooo. Fuck toruses, for real (I think that's how you spell it?).

Anyway I stayed up late for this and I'm tired so maybe I'll have more coherent thoughts about what I'd liked in the future (or maybe not, who knows!) Very happy, though~

So that burst of haiku inspiration I'd had back in March only lasted 2 weeks, lmao. It was nonetheless fun, though! Here are the rest of the haikus I'd written for that second week.

( 5 Haikus! )

Prompt from Three Week Ficto Fest on ficto:

8. Do you have anything physical related to your f/o? A plushie, a keychain, a piece of jewelry to symbolize your relationship, a shrine, a tattoo, a wallet picture, a stuffed animal that just reminds you of them, etc?

OKAY SO I’d gone on a spree sometime in 2023 and bought as much semi-affordable Kamek related stuff as I could reasonably find! This ended up being a mix of official merch, Ebay finds, and Etsy purchases. I’m quite proud of my little collection, hehehe.

( Photos here!!! )

Here’s the sources for (most of) the Etsy stuff, btw:

The Crochet Plushie: BobaGumShop [Custom Order]

The Kamek with the chain on its head: SnupysBookStorenMore [Listing]

The small perler (smirking on broom): YeOldePixelShoppeUSA [Listing]

The medium perler (frowning on broom): LuckyFantasyBeadArt [Custom Order]

The large perler: Perlpop [Listing]

The square perler: TheSpookySeance [Unavaliable]

The keychain: SavonneriePowerUp [Unavailable]

The purple-y sticker: JosephAmaroArt [Unavaliable]

The other sticker that goes with the Pauline and Rosalina ones: OrdinaryKeyes [Listing]

Also! I painted that rock :)

One day I’ll figure out how to commission artists and then I’ll be unstoppable :D In the meantime, I just saw two new items on Etsy that look good, so if you don’t mind me...

This week: a whole bunch of fics because I was clearing out my Marked for Later list, haha. Still like 8 pages left, but there were 11 to start, so! Progress!

Fandoms: Ace Attorney, Haikyuu!!, Hetalia, Hollow Knight, Hermitcraft SMP, Hermitcraft SMP x Empires SMP, The Flight SMP x Vampires SMP, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, Murderbot Diaries, Voltron

Also since I took these pictures another island kiddo was born — Lee, Oliver and Sean's kid!

And yes, I racebended a lot of the blorbos, lol. In admittedly a pretty clumsy way for the most part, but I wanted the number of white people here to be at a minimum, dangit.

I've seen the occasional complaint about Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, and a commonality between them as far as I can tell is about how repetitive the game is. Which...yeah? The previous game was a 3DS game you were supposed to pick it up and put it down in smaller bursts. We're all just freaks who are excited because it literally just released two weeks ago, lmao. Even in a silly game like this, there's still a mundanity of life here. People got mad when Animal Crossing New Horizons leaned into that, too, lol. I guess this series is niche for a reason XD

Actually, this got me thinking a little bit about repetition in general. For instance, personally I find most combat to be repetitive, and as such boring. You hit the enemy, the enemy hits you, over and over for some (sometimes unspecified!) amount of time. And if it goes longer than like 2 minutes I start getting mad, lmao. I have better things to do than this...! But I'm sure that opinion has way less legitimacy than this one because TomoLife is lifesim-ish and has a very different reputation because of that compared to, like, Tears of the Kingdom, lmao.

Anyway, I feel like in a lot of games you're generally doing the same thing over and over again, it's just disguised in different ways. Like, sometimes you're doing A and then AB and then ABC in layers, and sometimes you're doing A and B and C separately but swapping out often enough you don't notice it's just A and B and C, you know? Stuff like that.

Above all else, though, I suspect it just comes down to whether you like the activity being repeated, lmao. I wish people would just say that and admit the game isn't to their tastes, instead of saying a game is bad because it's repetitive.

I was reading this Danny Phantom/DC crossover fanfic the other day that's honestly kind mid but still fun enough to follow along with the updates, and the newest chapter had this silly little throwaway scene that I'm still kinda thinking about. The whole chapter's an adaptation of what's presumably an episode of a DC...something, where it seems that all the kids and adults get separated into, like, parallel worlds or something and its a whole thing. But in this case, Danny Phantom is here, and because Danny's a ghost and ghosts have a different relationship to aging than the living do, he can like ping-pong between the worlds.

There's a part of the chapter where Danny is gathering a bunch of kids into one building and also trying to figure out what to do with the literal babies. And then Dani shows up with a big haul of diapers and formula and etc. etc., and then Danny's like, "Hey...where did you get all that?" and then Dani's like "oh, just from the store" and Danny raises is eyebrow and Dani's like "I left money on the counter it's fine!" and Danny nods his head like "okay, that's good" and I'm reading this like. I feel like in a situation like this - if there's ever a time to steal baby supplies from the store, it would be now, yeah. And sure, if there was an exchange like this that happened in the actual episode of whatever show this is and that's what this convo was referencing, then yeah the show's gotta be like "hey kids, you can't just steal shit, no matter what!" But this is a fanfiction with a wildly different audience, so...I feel like maybe we can let this one go? ^^;

But on the other hand I'm sure that in a world that's gone completely crazy and in middle of a crisis, we all have a really weird and specific principles we tend to stick to. And in this case, it is that Stealing Is Bad. Or something. Love that for Danny, tbh; I respect it.

Fic with most hits AND second most kudos

Egg in a Trying Time | Super Mario | Bowser/Luigi | 18,645 words (4 chapters)
If Luigi had known babysitting this Yoshi egg would bring him this much trouble, he would have thought twice about volunteering to watch it. Especially since said trouble had Bowser's name written all over it. But perhaps that won’t turn out to be such a bad thing, in the end...

Fic with third most comments:

Blizzard Blues | Super Mario | Mario & Luigi & Kamek | 10,084 words (5 chapters)
Mario and Luigi had been out for a walk in the cold mountain air when a sudden snowstorm forced them into a nearby cabin. They’re joined by Kamek, who had also found himself unprepared for the weather and, against his best wishes, has now found himself under it. The bros do their best to take care of him, but the snowstorm doesn't show signs of stopping anytime soon...

Fic with fourth most bookmarks

i hope you told him | Super Mario | Mario & Luigi | 300 words
A night in a house in Toad Town not too long after the events of the movie.

Fic with fifth most words

Cinderello: A SonAmy Story | Sonic the Hedgehog | Sonic & Tails, Sonic/Amy | 8,980 words
For years, Sonic has been the slave of his stepfather, Dr. Robotnik, who has Sonic’s stepbrothers on his side. Everything changes when the household gets a letter…

Fic with least words

American Revolution | Hetalia | England | 169 words
A poem I wrote based on the American Revolution. It's from England's point of view.

Why are those last two some of the oldest fics I have on record, lmao

Cedarwood Road by deadstart, tencitizens

Jazz Fenton & Damian Wayne, Batfamily Members & Damian Wayne
Identity Reveal, Damian Wayne-centric
5,071 words | 4 chapters
Damian knows that his father, Bruce Wayne, is supposed to be Batman, but he still is not quite used to it. The man was lost for nearly two years and Damian has spent that entire time playing the role of Robin for his older brother, Richard. Now that his father is back and Richard has taken back up the mantle of Nightwing, Damian feels oddly alone and disconnected from both of the two men.
He is bad at expressing his emotions, but maybe the new school therapist at Gotham Academy can help him cope? Jasmine Fenton is rather odd, but she’s incredibly supportive of his interest in the arts. Even if she does seem to have the uncanny ability to read exactly what emotion is on his mind…

Keith, Pidge

Someone is making paper flowers for Pidge, and it takes her a while to figure out why.
*Takes place during the beginning of season 3, while Shiro is still missing.*

Recently I finally got to try out the Trader Joe's Cinnamon Roll Blondie Bar Baking Mix I'd bought on a whim because I saw it on the shelf and went "Oh! That's...different!" And it ended up...just okay! The important thing is that while making this I got employ some fun new-to-me techniques like: parchment paper cut out on the bottom of the pan 🙂 and cooling the brownies in the fridge overnight 🙂 A very fancy baker, I am, now. Although the glaze never seems to come out like it does in the box... 🤔 (and also I think I underbaked it LMAO its something to do with the pan size I'm guessing?)

(And also this is the only pic I have of it because I ate it all in a week 🙂)

This week's just an Ace Attorney fic!

There was one opportunity in particular that she desperately wanted to take, despite the nerves in her chest and the voice in her head insisting that she didn't deserve it.
Iris knew she couldn't possibly repair everything that was broken, not after everything she had done and after everything everyone had been through, but now at the very least, she had a cousin and a little sister that she would love to get to know.

After being released from prison, Iris takes the first steps in learning how to live her own life by spending time with Maya and Pearl.
