picture all 4 kings falling for the same gal
Asking the real questions oh my gosh- also my writing tends to lean gender neutral, with a heck ton of nicknames-
Ok so, for a base, you don’t live in any of the boy’s kingdom but in the boundaries or a neutral area.!
Number one: POLITICAL NIGHTMARE- OH THE POOR ADVISORS- SOMEONE GET THEM A DECADE OF PAID VACATION-
The near constant barrage of letters you receive from the advisors begging you to make a decision of either picking a king to marry, or simply declare your not getting married for their sanities and safety-
Number two: PETTY ASS BROTHERS- ALL THE SABOTAGE YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE- THINK MONOPOLY GAME NIGHT BUT WORSE-
There’s constant sabotage between the four, no honor among thieves or trust between the them.
Any of the subjects from the other’s kingdom is eyed with suspicion and for good reason-
Plans are often eavesdropped on before reporting them back to their king for ideas on how to sabotage-
Number three: You get so swarmed- be it the people of the kings trying to show how amazing their respective king is! The people of each kingdom have never been so united against the other kingdoms…..
Can’t even open up the curtain of your home or so much as gesture towards stepping out of the building, before the people of each respective king is chanting, swinging banners, yelling about their king’s great attributes for marriage-
You’d think that any of the kings have some kind of restraint or second thought about how all of this chaos would affect you-
Nope-
Constant invitations to dates, parties, one-on-one time to get to know you better-
If and when you leave your house, you find so many people talking about or showing banners of their kingdom and king-
Boos’ leaving books and research papers on all of the amazing technological advances King Don is making. Their king is eternal! And making so many advances for the betterment of the whole world!
Koopas’ showing you records of how strong and kind their King Raph is! He helps them train and grow stronger! Helps them build new buildings and homes, gives them a lot for their own betterment!
The bob-omb’s bringing pieces of King Mikey’s art and sculptures to you. Even decorating your home and its pathways. He’s so creative and freeing! Despite the fear of explosions-
The poor poor toads…..They don’t get paid enough to deal with their prince’s shenanigans…. They come to you whining about whatever important meeting Prince Leo skipped-
Main takeaway:
Your very likely to be picked up by one of the kings or their people before being dragged about to hang in their kingdom-
—— ——— ——
Never in your wildest dreams would you have considered yourself royalty material-
Maybe back when you were a naive child, ducking and diving in between you parents legs.
The thought of marriage was a fickle one as well, whistling as it quickly crossed your mind before vanishing with the next flutter of your eyelids.
However, fate, irony, and correlation but possibly causation, seemed to be scheming over the course of your life.
Yet of course, each one had their own plan and vision for your future.
Which…..brings you to this…..event? Day? Mess? Mess. Which brings you to this mess.
Confetti, stamped in colors, insignias, and crests of royal kingdoms greeted you at every twist and turn.
Your once peaceful little town, now overridden by mischievous, determined, and headstrong folk having migrated from the main kingdoms.
And for what wondrous and beautiful reason do you have, to thank those above as they breathe new life, joy, and competition into your little hometown? Well-
“My love look! My people are showering us in petals, which is simply a tiny fraction of what love I and my kingdom hold for you dear. Let’s go greet them with smiles, hm?”
“A display of this caliber is tacky, a waste of money, resources, even ultimately your limited time on this earth. My dear violet, follow me and I’ll regale you of the successes in any and every field imaginable!”
“I made a picnic for you my muse! I hade made the food, made from ingredients grown my kingdom and by my people! I even made the picnic basket, plates, and the blanket by hand! And that’s only a taste of my art!”
“There’s a new store selling paired plushies….ones that are customized, you can dress them to fit a loved one….I can carry you little one if you’d like to come with me?”
“Come on! Won’t you take my hand?”
It’s…..complicated?
