Live Blogs One Man's Madness

Some speak legends of a man. A man who braved the horrors and traps of a sprawling testament to the wickedness and depravity of spirits from the beyond. To save his brother. They cite his odd manner of accomplishing his task as being straightforward and cautious, and his refusal to touch even one cent of money as a selfless desire to not be distracted on his quest. They speak of a man so determined to rescue his sibling he spoke not a word nor gazed upon anything deemed irrelevant to his goal. A hero. A tale of one man's bravery.

Others speak legends of a brutal warmonger, who stormed the mansion to exact vengeance upon the spirits that had claimed his brother, paying their crimes back with disproportionate, cruel "justice". Drawing out the figurative demises of each undead he met, leaving just a few to suffer the trauma of seeing their comrades given such horrible fates. Destroying all in his path, he walked unflinchingly and soullessly, hellbent on his task. A monster. A tale of one man's depravity.

Today, we shed light on the truth. What was really happening in Luigi Mario's mind. His thoughts, his dreams. Why he picked up not but one treasure. Why he dove into a mansion of ghosts. Why he took a long time to vacuum each spirit up.

If you are here hoping to read a tale of a hero, bravely vanquishing his foes in the name of his brother Mario Mario, turn away. Do not read further, for you shall only be met with disappointment.

If you are here hoping to read a tale of a monster, brutally slaughtering his foes in the name of bloodlust, turn back. Leave at once, for you too shall only be met with disappointment.

If you are still here, wondering what could possibly happen here, continue reading. For today we tell the legend of a mad and unstable individual; a warped worldview brought upon by perhaps years of his brother's overcast shadow, or perhaps a genetic defect. A lunatic. A tale of one man's madness.

Who knows, E. Gadd? Maybe it is simply the result of living in a place like the mushroom kingdom where somewhat crazy things seem to happen on a regular basis? :P

Strawberryflavored, do you have source for that "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario" thing you mentioned on the first page's comments?

(I hope he's still reading...)

Well, they are the Super Mario Bros. So that kind of implies their last name is Mario. Nevertheless, this is obviously not a serious liveblog, so I make no pretense of knowing the canon of the Mario universe.

Also, you never really responded. As this liveblog is, as you said, uninteresting, would you prefer I delete it? So you don't even have to see its name existing on the Live Blogginations page?

No, don't delete it. I am only one person, and don't particularly like fanfiction wherever it comes from. Others however don't usually think that way. I think.

"Super Mario Brothers" is poorly phrased. They are called that because the older and typically superior brother's name is Mario, not because they are both called Mario. (That said, the canon for the games, cartoon, movie... these are all separate from each other. For example, sometimes they're Brooklynites... but usually not.)

But if it's just not to your personal tastes why bother reading or commenting on it at all, instead of just ignoring it?

I just can't really see any reason you'd bother to make a destructive comment on it unless it really IS a horrible thing that shouldn't exist.

Please Anom, just let it go. Continue with the liveblog, there's plenty of us here who are liking it.

I commented because I clicked it while thinking it would be in a different style, and because I like commenting on things.

But yes, as Sixthhokage said, there are still people who are reading it. It's not like there's anything wrong with all this; it's merely something I don't have a positive preference towards.

Don't let the work required to make this work get you down. I read through this today, and I was amused.

Is this "Dark Lord" Mario?
