Cold Storage Ideas #1 - Bowuigi relationship advice

[mrsluigivargas]

So sometimes I get ideas that i have little-to-no interest in turning into a full-fledged fic. Whether it's because it requires too much research, or writing it seems like too much of a chore, or maybe some other, secret third reason. Nonetheless, I dont want these ideas to live in my head forever; sometimes you gotta write them down! So I'm gonna write them down.

Most of these outlines have been posted to tumblr already; I just wanted to back them up here.

The idea this time is this: Bowser repeatedly kidnaps Peach for relationship advice and Peach gets so fed up with him about it that she tricks Luigi into being her body double so that Bowser kidnaps him instead and they can talk like Actual Adults instead of using her as a third party to vent to all the time.

• I imagine Luigi also talks to Peach about the same relationship problems because she's more in tune with romance stuff than his bro is (who's still low-key trying to wrap his head around his brother dating Bowser of all people).
• And they're not listening to her very reasonable advice of "just talk to each other about it, it'll be fine" so neither of them are doing anything about the misunderstandings and it's driving her mad!
• Anyway it would be funny for Bowser to have a whole conspiracy board about how Luigi not sending his daily "buongiorno!" text and shooting down two of Bowser's three date ideas in less than five seconds means that he's fucked something up irreparably somehow and Luigi's mad at him what do you think Peach how do I fix this?
• And Luigi-dressed-as-Peach is sitting there tied up like ah. Maybe we should talk about this properly.
• (They're both anxious messes about this fledgling relationship, lmao)
• Meanwhile, Peach tells Mario to hold off on the rescue for a day or two so Luigi and Bowser can sort things out.
• Mario has no problem with this because he too has also been subjected to the ever-shifting conspiracy board and has no desire to hear about his bro's relationship from Bowser's perspective beyond a surface level ever again (the conspiracy board goes beyond a surface level).
• And Kamek knew from the second Bowser grabbed "Peach" that it was actually Luigi, but he's also tired of Bowser asking him every 10 minutes if Luigi actually likes him or not instead of paying attention in meetings so he just leaves and takes a nap instead of letting Bowser know about his mistake because he sees what Peach is doing and yeah this is the only way this problem's gonna get solved.

I don't wanna write this one because I have little interest in established relationship stuff, even if it's still in the early stages. What would they even miscommunicate about? Probably a whole bunch of things, but I can't be arsed to come up with any.
