"I'm a villain, not a monster" is actually one of the best quotes I've ever heard. It's very deep and meaningful. Edit: So I looked on AO3 and as of now, January 7th, Bowuigi has 186 fanfics on AO3.

@@corncobbob2326 I think it just means using terms and mindsets that are mostly, if not only seen online? I honestly don't have a real meaning but that's how I think of it.
While I can’t say I started shipping it myself, I am absolutely LOVING the fanart and posts bowuigi is spawning. One of my favourite genre of fanart from it has to be ‘Mario being accused of being homophobic before Mario immediately hits back with a hilarious response because while Mario would not be caught DEAD being homophobic (truly an allied king or queer himself depending on how you headcanon) he has all the reasons in the world to be bowserphobic’
That sounds phenomenal - and entirely plausible, tbh. It also adds nuance to the relationships Luigi has with both of them. I haven't quite started shipping it either, but I do like ships that have depth.
When I first saw the trailer, I was with MY DAD WE WERE AT THE CINEMA WAITING TO WATCH THE NEW MATILDA And the trailer played And I swear my dad leant over the seat to whisper to me “Are they gay?” Like absolutely genuine It was so funny
I can just imagine charlie day & jack black's reactions to seeing all the bowuigi content, charlie would be laughing uncontrollably while jack would be so down with this ship, he would be wearing a massive shirt that says "i'mma bowuigi supporter" & then he'd say something along the lines "yeah me & charlie are gay in the movie"
I just think that the funniest thing possible would be the backlash from the writers who are now trying desperately to convince everyone that Jack was joking, to which it would only be followed up by Jack pushing the point home to the best of his ability.
If someone cares enough about me to go to the effort of kidnapping me, they clearly have some feelings toward me. Bowser just doesn’t know how to express himself towards Luigi 🙄🖐️
Idk how properly say it but they basically gave the internet a very fertilie plot of land, from wich a shit load of stuff can be grown. That setting, character dynamique, just the directing of the shot itself fits into so many like baseline
0:41 Okay, listen, I don't think this scene would read nearly as fruity without the finger under the chin. If the writers didn't want this they should not have used the classic enemies-to-lovers interaction of lifting chin with finger.
Bro, imagine that a bowuigi shipper works at the studio where they're making this or even is working at Nintendo and is like, "Let me feed them something."
I mean... With the colour palette used, the camera angle, the way the finger under the chin was animated... There HAS to be someone on the inside, no shot that's not the case! 😂
Ok no wait, this ship is actually good. Both being love starved by the people around them (Bowser being seen as a monster and Luigi always overshadowed by Mario) and finding the solace in each other's company, giving what both lacked... Tumblr did it again. It made me ship something I never thought of before.

Bowser is not a good person and he never will be. Simple as that.
I saw the most wholesome tiktok ever-- Bowser was saying “you are important to my plan” and luigi zoned everything else out and just asked “I’m…Important?🥺” guys i loved it
I wish Luigi just zoned everything out including the fact he was kidnapped, and focused on being important. The whole movie, he thinks he's just chilling with a new friend
I honestly think a big reason for this ship (besides monster fucker vibes and just how cute the contrast is) is the wish fulfillment for these two characters. Bowser just wants a spouse to keep him company, somebody he can be venerable with. Unfortunately he’s totally ruined that with Peach by being pushy. He just likes the idea of married life with somebody much more kind and sweet than him. Luigi always feels like he’s in his brother’s heroic shadow, watching him get the girl just about every day of the week. Not only scoring a big powerful monarch but one that seems impossible to expose the sensitive side of is a power move for him.
While I hope your answer is correct and It comes from genuine reasoning I believe it mostly came Gay romance between strong guy and soft and sweet guy makes everyone go crazy! And being in my hero academia fandom has ruined that trope for me forever
I started shipping it as a joke thinking I was immune to bowuigi propaganda but I was not immune and I fear it is no longer a joke. I've looked through the whole bowuigi tag on ao3 and refresh it daily
I'd never heard of this ship until the trailer dropped and seeing everyone act like it was normal was...quite the experience Edit: a lot of people think I'm new to fandoms, and...No 😭 I started out with my little pony on DEVIANTART, to put it lightly I have seen some shit. Despite that, there are still some ships that surprise me due to being ones I never considered. Bowuigi was one of them.
I have to say I don’t doubt that the mild wholesomeness sprouting from this ship is entirely from the noteable wholesome sweetness Luigi bring with him everywhere he goes Also as the big spiky dragon turtle man himself I had no idea about this
As a Bowuigi veteran (shipped it before the new trailer, I know, I do have the fattest ass and tits), I feel honored to have this underdog pairing’s newfound popularity covered by the fan girl/shipping queen
To anyone saying Bowigi isn’t realistic because Luigi has Daisy. Daisy also has quite a bit of fandom shipping with Bowser, she’s probably the one who noticed Luigi giving bowser looks and thought “I wonder if this could go somewhere” and wham, the three poly and Bowser Jr suddenly goes from one Dad to two Dad’s and a Mum
Daisy is only shipped with Luigi because of her character design. 1) girl. 2) looks a lot like Peach, who is often paired with Mario, Luigi's counterpart. There is next to no romantic chemistry or implications between any of the characters in this franchise, which means all ships are valid. After the end of Odyssey, I'd love to see Peach with Daisy. Throw Mario off the moon.
@@NoiseDay you missed the soft canonization of those two being together because of a Mario kart track (I believe it was Luigi stadium but not sure) where there is a statue of the two of them. It’s not a lot but still
I love how Bowser intimidated and threatened to KILL Luigi, ("Let's see how tough this Mario is when I kill his brother!") then tried to drop him into lava and people STILL ship it.
10:27 The only part of the video that aged well. Shame that they only got that one scene, but I'll take the weird tension between Mario and DK as a compromise.
I've had bowuigi art recommended on my Twitter and spent a moment scrolling and the wholesome part of the fanarts made this my number one mario universe ship. It's amazing. Also I showed it to a friend and they told me "but luigi is human and bowser is some sort of giant turtle dragon" so I told them "yeah but bowser frequently kidnaps peach and even tried to marry her by force and no one thought it was that weird"
@@VanNessy97 God I hope they do the sonic twitter takeover style and hint at it like they do, because they’re experts at pushing Sonadow shippers button with the voice acting and tone 😂
@@Floofies lmao you have no idea how many people have told me “WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE!!!!!!” like i could dig through the million videos i’ve commented on and find at least one reply like that
I saw the second trailer not too long after it released and was pretty satisfied with the fact Peach never seemed kidnapped during the clips. Then I realized who WAS kidnapped by Bowser and that’s when it all started.
@@marilinvanderwaal8907 FOR REAL THO LIKE DUUUUUUUUUDE. when I saw that yesterday I lost my mind. I did that thing where I was supposed to like the ship ironically but.......I don't like it ironically anymore
i haven’t even watched the video and i’ve gone through the five stages of grief. in the end, i accept this ship and await what shall come from it. godspeed, bowuigi. godspeed.
EDIT BUT NOT REALLY AN EDIT: suddenly, i have started debating what fruit they are. bowser, i’d say starfruit, because yknow, star, it’s a bit spiky looking, and it tastes decent (unlike the durian). luigi… i’m contemplating still, but my first thought was pear, but then my SECOND THOUGHT was _CUCUMBER._ i do not want luigi to be a _cucumber._ (i didn’t even know _those_ were fruits D:)
As soon as I saw the trailer I knew Bowuigi was going to become Symbrock 2.0 -- an older ship that was under the radar for a long time that suddenly exploded in popularity after a movie.
I love the illusion of tension between characters. They may not be a thing in the movie but just from one scene I now have 20 stories in my bookmarks on AO3
I'm always more fascinated by how a ship sky rockets, than the actual ship itself. It's interesting no matter how small the "spark", fans just create a symphony of creative fireworks displayed. 🤣
I was in the bowuigi fandom long before the movie was announced. And im so freaking happy now, so many people are joining, and so much content is being created. it's great!
Me before this video: "Ha, this is going to be so weird! I'm probably going to want to bleach my eyes after seeing the art!" Me after the video: "Thank you, women. I now am satisfied with my life."
Oh god everyone. The movie was released last week and the tag Bowser/Luigi (Nintendo) on AO3 has of right now 393 Works. We have tripled in the past three months.
Discovering a new ship, you haven’t ever seen before, is like finding out you have some of your favorite snacks left from the weekend, so nice, and so great. 10/10. It’s awesome.
I kept on seeing this fanart of them on Tumblr for the past few weeks, and I dig that so much!!! You know what else saw on Tumblr? Merlin trending for 4 days straight, you should totally make that video you mentioned!
@@EleiyaUmei mainly 3 reasons 1) Merlin being taken off Netflix 2) The anniversary of the finale is on Christmas eve, if you've watched the show, you know it's a big deal 3) us in the fandom doing whatever we could to keep it there. We reached spot 2 on the first day
Me when I first heard about Bowuigi: Oh...What has the shipping community done??! Me after seeing the cute fan art: Ooh... What has the shipping community done??? 😏😏😏😏😏
Watched this during a long car ride with my family, made me nauseous from the supressed squealing and butterflies. Was miserable for the rest of the ride, BUT I HAVE NO REGRETS!! THIS IS SO CUTE😍😍
Timestamps for parts I’m showing my roommate who is also obsessed with bowuigi: 9:11 10:02 10:41 Thank you Coley for always coming through with making videos for every fandom I find myself in, even bowuigi, you are the only one who can and does make this brand of fandom content for us and you are so appreciated for it 🙏🏼
8:35 who’s gonna tell Coley that this isn’t a lineup of Tumblr Sexymen but actually a lineup of selfcest victims that was posted after the Loki series paired him up with an alt ver of himself
Fun fact: I didn't get into the ship because of the trailer, I got into it because of a piece of fanart I saw on Tumblr during a particularly slow part of the d&d campaign I'm part of. Another fun fact: this ship got me so into the Mario Bros, specifically Luigi, that I just downloaded Luigi's mansion on my switch
When you're old enough to know this isn't the first time this ship has manifested itself like this. If we don't know our history we are doomed to repeat it! 😂
I fucking love improbable ships where you take one glance at them and think "somehow that makes complete sense." Also, no to AI art; not only does the concept of it suck, but Bowuigi are *way* too good for that, especially from all the artists featured LOL Marsoids is an underrated one, especially
First impression: I have no idea if this will explain all my questions tumblr has spawned, but this has thoroughly peaked my interest Ending impression: Still confused, but vibing
This is one of my biggest comfort ships and I’ve been in love with it for years. I’m so glad it’s getting more attention now and that people are beginning to understand why it’s so amazing 😭
After knowing so many people were ok with Billdip nothing shocks me anymore, I'm numb Edit: ok but wow Bowser x Luigi was actually way more wholesome than I thought awwww
@@HopeIsADrug11037 When I was around 11 or 12 I came across a video with over a million views and all positive comments... it was a Billdip ship video.
i was always a bit nervous to publicly ship these two. but then the trailer dropped and everyone was so normal about it. Nice work guys, lets hope we get more in the movie!
What made you ship it back then before the trailer? And what made you so worried about people’s reactions? I’d take this over Mario x Luigi and other incest ships tbh.
Bowser and Luigi has been around for a while. First time I’ve seen this pair was from the artist Kairy Draws. She’s talented EDIT: 12:06 huh, speak of the devil. There she is
Man, I remember obsessively reading this one Bowuigi comic on Instagram earlier in the year. It was SO FUCKING GOOD TOO! I would always be there for the new updates, and everytime I read the new page I was always like "GASP!! THE DRAMA!!"
I've been a fan of this ship since like 2019, and it basically exploding all across Tumblr right when I'm going back to it was truly a sight to behold Edit: also Coley!!! If you have the time, read Moonshadow. It's absolutely amazing and completely broke me
I have low key loved Bowugi since I first found out about it through a picture of Luigi helping Bowser with his kids. The art style is precious but I haven't found the artist since. :(
I needed a laugh after the Pokémon news we all got today, and BOY that intro had me outright cackling. Also might we get an update on the Pokémon fandom BECAUSE I'M IN MOURNING.

Oh gods, I'm not even a huge fan of the anime and I'm still recovering from the announcement. I wonder what will happen to Team Rocket, I don't want to lose my queer icons 😭
I know bowuigi probably isn't going to become canon but hope we can still get Luigi befriending Bowser and them being friends in the movie. Something wholesome like that would be nice. And then after the movie we can ship Bowuigi even more because of it 😃 (Also I definitely prefer the wholesome Bowuigi)
Me, an artist who fell down the Bowuiji rabbit hole because of this video, rewatching the video: *aggressively grabs sketchbook to learn how to draw them*
14:17 I like how your intro is a bunch of fandoms smashed together into one beautiful song. I can hear multiple fandoms like Steven Universe twinkle and beat at the end, I think I heard Pikachu, and a couple animes.
I literally started a Bowuigi fanfic in January LAST YEAR. I kinda left it on the back burner for a while before the trailer dropped and reignited my fire. Now I'm on chapter 7 and I don't plan on stopping. Thank you, Mario Movie, you've done a great thing this year. ❤ Also, you're at 666k views, and I hope that doesn't get ruined.
I was at the cinema a few weeks ago with my younger brother and younger sister and I saw the trailer for the movie with this moment in it and I had to try so hard not to laugh because my siblings would ask me why I was laughing and I didn’t want to try to explain it to them 💀
I honestly think that people just had had the hots for Luigi for a long time, and this is just the most appropriate way that they found to let it all out.
I went from “for the memes” to “…maybe not for the memes” over the course of this video 😂😅 love the wholesome wrap at the end of this lol beautiful love story
Lowkey having my bowuigi art show up in this vid is such a pleasant jumpscare (I did the one at 3:00 and the christmas sweater doodle that popped up twice) Hope you all have fun falling down the bowuigi rabbit hole eue
The absolute psychic damage I received from seeing this thumbnail to watching a new movie clip where he fricken STROKES HIS CHIN AND TWIRLS HIS MUSTACHE is unimaginable I may not ship it but those animators sure do
I once glanced at a pic of these to but I had to double take cus' it was titled "this twink got into friends with benefits with the fucking turtle king" 😂
"The Tumblr Sexymanification of Luigi" is a series of words I never thought I'd hear in a lifetime
It's happened before but he hasn't been this popular before
Luigi is the last person I thought who would be the next tumblr sexy man, but it is on par now that I think about it.
…wait he _wasn’t_ a tumblr sexyman beforehand?
@@hellgazer8370 no he has, just not as popular. Very low ranking tbh
Man, none of those words are in the Bible
"I can take him"

Yeah
same 💀 also nice pfp
I have to say I don’t doubt that the mild wholesomeness sprouting from this ship is entirely from the noteable wholesome sweetness Luigi bring with him everywhere he goes
Also as the big spiky dragon turtle man himself I had no idea about this
It's also the fact that bowser has 8 kids which originates a lot of family fluff.
@@tiekogalaxylatte8839 if no one noticed when the trailer came out then I would’ve been surprised
i love how surprisingly wholesome this is
I love how surprisingly wholesome you are
I like how she's both into it and concerned for the community at the same time /j
As a Bowuigi veteran (shipped it before the new trailer, I know, I do have the fattest ass and tits), I feel honored to have this underdog pairing’s newfound popularity covered by the fan girl/shipping queen
"I know, I have the fattest ass and tits" phrases that should be in every sentence
Bestie were the fuck do I find Bowuigi fics
Ao3
Genuine question but, why shipping these two?
@@specter3660 Because it's fun that's why
To anyone saying Bowigi isn’t realistic because Luigi has Daisy. Daisy also has quite a bit of fandom shipping with Bowser, she’s probably the one who noticed Luigi giving bowser looks and thought “I wonder if this could go somewhere” and wham, the three poly and Bowser Jr suddenly goes from one Dad to two Dad’s and a Mum
“This is my boyfriend and this is his boyfriend” energy right there
luigi and daisy are gay best friends and NOBODY CAN CHANGE MY MIND
YEEEEEEES
Daisy is only shipped with Luigi because of her character design. 1) girl. 2) looks a lot like Peach, who is often paired with Mario, Luigi's counterpart. There is next to no romantic chemistry or implications between any of the characters in this franchise, which means all ships are valid.
After the end of Odyssey, I'd love to see Peach with Daisy. Throw Mario off the moon.
@@NoiseDay you missed the soft canonization of those two being together because of a Mario kart track (I believe it was Luigi stadium but not sure) where there is a statue of the two of them. It’s not a lot but still
I love how Bowser intimidated and threatened to KILL Luigi, ("Let's see how tough this Mario is when I kill his brother!") then tried to drop him into lava and people STILL ship it.
10:27 The only part of the video that aged well.
Shame that they only got that one scene, but I'll take the weird tension between Mario and DK as a compromise.
YOU MADE ME REALIZE
I've had bowuigi art recommended on my Twitter and spent a moment scrolling and the wholesome part of the fanarts made this my number one mario universe ship. It's amazing. Also I showed it to a friend and they told me "but luigi is human and bowser is some sort of giant turtle dragon" so I told them "yeah but bowser frequently kidnaps peach and even tried to marry her by force and no one thought it was that weird"
AMEN!
Imagine if they completely changed that part of the movie because of all the shippers
ngl I hope they do, I just want to be able to watch a movie about my favorite characters without everyone shipping them
I highly doubt it since theres only like a few months left till the movie
Or just had like one, maybe two lines hinting at it
@@VanNessy97 God I hope they do the sonic twitter takeover style and hint at it like they do, because they’re experts at pushing Sonadow shippers button with the voice acting and tone 😂

I saw the second trailer not too long after it released and was pretty satisfied with the fact Peach never seemed kidnapped during the clips. Then I realized who WAS kidnapped by Bowser and that’s when it all started.
He got tired of peach and went for one better and cuter one ofc our baby luigi😌😌🤭🤭
Some of the wholesome art of this ship was showing up on my Tumblr dash earlier today and for some reason i didn't even question it

i haven’t even watched the video and i’ve gone through the five stages of grief. in the end, i accept this ship and await what shall come from it.
godspeed, bowuigi. godspeed.
EDIT BUT NOT REALLY AN EDIT: suddenly, i have started debating what fruit they are. bowser, i’d say starfruit, because yknow, star, it’s a bit spiky looking, and it tastes decent (unlike the durian). luigi… i’m contemplating still, but my first thought was pear, but then my SECOND THOUGHT was _CUCUMBER._
i do not want luigi to be a _cucumber._ (i didn’t even know _those_ were fruits D:)
@@hellgazer8370 luwegi is in fact a pear
What were the other stages? Is it different since it’s shipping and not death?
@@corncobbob2326 nothing is different

As soon as this improbable ship sailed, I was waiting for you to cover it. Praise Coley, the Queen of Fandom always delivers!
Entirely because of this single comment, I’m gonna draw Coley as the fandom queen. Brb
As soon as I saw the trailer I knew Bowuigi was going to become Symbrock 2.0 -- an older ship that was under the radar for a long time that suddenly exploded in popularity after a movie.
I love the illusion of tension between characters. They may not be a thing in the movie but just from one scene I now have 20 stories in my bookmarks on AO3
I'm always more fascinated by how a ship sky rockets, than the actual ship itself.
It's interesting no matter how small the "spark", fans just create a symphony of creative fireworks displayed. 🤣

I was in the bowuigi fandom long before the movie was announced. And im so freaking happy now, so many people are joining, and so much content is being created. it's great!
Me before this video: "Ha, this is going to be so weird! I'm probably going to want to bleach my eyes after seeing the art!"
Me after the video: "Thank you, women. I now am satisfied with my life."
It was the chin lift with Bowser’s claw that 100% solidified this ship. Like “OK. so THATS how he’s gonna do things, huh. I see.”
3:04 did NOT think my art would be shown here, thank u queen 😭😭😭😭

Discovering a new ship, you haven’t ever seen before, is like finding out you have some of your favorite snacks left from the weekend, so nice, and so great. 10/10. It’s awesome.
I kept on seeing this fanart of them on Tumblr for the past few weeks, and I dig that so much!!!
You know what else saw on Tumblr? Merlin trending for 4 days straight, you should totally make that video you mentioned!
Why was Merlin trending?
@@EleiyaUmei mainly 3 reasons
1) Merlin being taken off Netflix
2) The anniversary of the finale is on Christmas eve, if you've watched the show, you know it's a big deal
3) us in the fandom doing whatever we could to keep it there.
We reached spot 2 on the first day

eh, same difference

dave being there was a dead giveaway
Fun fact: I didn't get into the ship because of the trailer, I got into it because of a piece of fanart I saw on Tumblr during a particularly slow part of the d&d campaign I'm part of. Another fun fact: this ship got me so into the Mario Bros, specifically Luigi, that I just downloaded Luigi's mansion on my switch
Hell yeah, love the Luigi's Mansion games!!
AS YOU SHOULD KING 👏👏👏
@@captainofthelosercruiser7355 he IS adorable, I love him soo much
When you're old enough to know this isn't the first time this ship has manifested itself like this. If we don't know our history we are doomed to repeat it! 😂
Better keep this one under wraps then ;d
Someone please explain 😂
8:54 Crisp rat 💀
I fucking love improbable ships where you take one glance at them and think "somehow that makes complete sense."
Also, no to AI art; not only does the concept of it suck, but Bowuigi are *way* too good for that, especially from all the artists featured LOL Marsoids is an underrated one, especially
First impression: I have no idea if this will explain all my questions tumblr has spawned, but this has thoroughly peaked my interest
Ending impression: Still confused, but vibing
Same.
Though admittedly, that could just be due to the fever from the flu I've got.
the illumination studio does it again. first the onceler himself, now THIS 😭😭 and I love every part of it
This is one of my biggest comfort ships and I’ve been in love with it for years. I’m so glad it’s getting more attention now and that people are beginning to understand why it’s so amazing 😭
After knowing so many people were ok with Billdip nothing shocks me anymore, I'm numb
Edit: ok but wow Bowser x Luigi was actually way more wholesome than I thought awwww

i was always a bit nervous to publicly ship these two. but then the trailer dropped and everyone was so normal about it. Nice work guys, lets hope we get more in the movie!
What made you ship it back then before the trailer? And what made you so worried about people’s reactions? I’d take this over Mario x Luigi and other incest ships tbh.
honestly the ships been around for a looooong time, you should embrace it!!!
Bowser and Luigi has been around for a while. First time I’ve seen this pair was from the artist Kairy Draws. She’s talented
EDIT: 12:06 huh, speak of the devil. There she is
You have no idea how many bowigi beauty and the beast stuff I've seen
Man, I remember obsessively reading this one Bowuigi comic on Instagram earlier in the year. It was SO FUCKING GOOD TOO! I would always be there for the new updates, and everytime I read the new page I was always like "GASP!! THE DRAMA!!"

I know bowuigi probably isn't going to become canon but hope we can still get Luigi befriending Bowser and them being friends in the movie. Something wholesome like that would be nice. And then after the movie we can ship Bowuigi even more because of it 😃
(Also I definitely prefer the wholesome Bowuigi)

As Mario once said, “so long gay bowser”. But Mario predicted the future
