Been thinking a lot lately about how Mario and Peach might have gotten to know each other better and what subjects could have brought them closer together, so here are several little headcanons I had which I’ve combined together for this one scene. 😁
– Whenever Mario mumbles to himself or thinks out loud while working alone on a project, he usually does so in Italian.
– Peach has been fascinated by the language ever since hearing it from the bros and truly finds it beautiful.
– She adores Mario’s accent and could listen to him speak for hours.
– She learned an Italian word on purpose in the hope of catching Mario’s attention (and was secretly thrilled when it obviously did).
– She asked for possible lessons because she longs to spend more time with him and figured this was a good way to do exactly that.
– Mario was genuinely impressed that Peach could memorize something she heard only once and was touched by her will to learn.
– When around her, Mario gestures with his hands a lot and unconsciously makes all sorts of small flourishes.^^
– Peach is usually the one who initiates proximity and is just slightly less shy about standing close to him than he is to her.
– Mario’s patience and natural enthusiasm makes him a great teacher.
– They will soon develop a pattern from this and take to showing new things to one another as a recurring activity.
I love these calm, peaceful moments so much! They’re among my favorite things to draw. 🥰
