Always See Myself Profoundly Curious At Waluigis Backstory Since There Isn’t Many Hints Out There As

always see myself profoundly curious at waluigis backstory since there isn’t many hints out there as to who or why he is.

i always thought, what if he was once just like luigi? shy, cowardly, a messy amount of disoriented and always found himself an outcast. while luigi is currently praised for being himself and called a hero despite his flaws, waluigi just wasn’t ever able to obtain that level of appreciation and respect. no matter what he tried, he found himself circling between different personalities, until he found his current one. nasty, unfiltered, crude and at the same time, lost. in what he thought would make him stronger and more well liked, he actually lost his way in finding out who he wants to be.

it’s why i feel he isn’t nasty to daisy or even remotely forceful in his advances. he doesn’t envy daisy, but he envies luigi. so reasonably he’s more hard on him and has no intention on having any form of relationship with him. with daisy however, he respects her to the best of his abilities. he has no reason to be hasty to a woman he fancies.

luigi in a big way can understand his anger at the world. he can’t deny to anyone or himself he too has experience with anger and sadness within himself. insecurity is no stranger to him, and he’s no stranger to shame. he wishes sometimes he could have a chat with waluigi 1 on 1, specifically about what he’s ever done to him to make him angry at him. he knows he’s the main target for WL’s antics, though this specific time, he can’t find a reason to be angry back, just ever more confused and curious.

waluigi does wish he could just ask him “how do you do it?” — as in, how does he gain the respect and praise from people for being himself? he is far from being able to find his own personality again, but he at least wants to know how he can stop hiding. what opportunities and things he’s missed can he still experience? what’s waiting for him beyond the veil of honesty? though he could, he couldn’t possibly work up the courage, nor live with the potential shame afterwards of being a sucker. with that, he’s also reminded this is exactly why he’s just like luigi. which pushes him more, for a longing of relatability and true love.

his relationship with wario is just complicated. he treats him like he’s a nuisance some days, and like an acquaintance other days. can he say he doesn’t feel loved by wario? in all honesty— no. it’s been the only friendship he’s had in his life where he had a purpose and a role in life. he’s at the point where he takes any positive attention— maybe not even positive most of the time, but just attention. in a way he feels he’d be nothing without wario. though, thing is, wario is not cruel enough to say something like that. he can’t articulate or pinpoint his own feelings himself, but waluigi is his friend. he’ll say “you’re a big dumb idiot” but he’ll never say “i hate you” or anything. he’ll knock him on the head a few times a day, but he’ll never twist his arm and break it or something. (well, i actually have no idea what they’re capable of. lmao)

all around waluigi is confused, and confusing. while i like the mystery around him, why not make the mystery a part of him?
