mrsluigivargasLooking over my fic WIP (Lost and Found), past-me was really really psyched about coming up with the innuendo in this bit, for some reason:
Present-me isn’t so sure about it, buuuut it's fine, I can let her have this, I guess XD It’s a minor thing anyway~
I think the idea was, like — since I headcanon that most babies in the Mario'verse come from storks except for (most of the) human ones, then most people's norms regarding baby-making is "make a wish → get a baby" and so they don't really have that "have sex → get a baby" correlation like humans do. Except the two ideas cross-pollinated over time as cultures intermingle or whatever, so now for a lot of people their understanding of humans includes "a couple makes a wish at night in a bed in private → get a baby" (or something like that). Which is. Close enough, tbh. A silly idea, but worth committing to, I think.
During his wait, Toadette stepped out of her hotel room across the hall. Mario waved at
her in greeting, and her face lit up with a grin.
"So the Princess was with you last night!" she said, with a glint in her eye. That glint
strengthened at Mario's confirming yet confused nod. She snickered. "Busy making quite
the wish, weren't you?"
... What?
