Yes, there’s even cosplay.

As the weekend went on, Japanese artists on Twitter took this idea and ran with it. They’re using their own hashtag, “クッパ姫,” which translates to “Princess Koopa.”

Before you venture into any hashtags about this, I want to be very clear: a lot of this art is porn. Nothing against porn—who among us has not had idle thoughts about a girl with horns that could beat you up?—but I have seen probably too many images of Mario having sex with Bowsette before noon today. Enter this search term into social media at your own discretion.

As the obsession with Bowsette has grown, some artists started to wonder what other characters would look like if they wore the Super Crown.

If you’re at all interested in video games, and certainly if you’re interested in anime or Mario, Bowsette-related posts feel unavoidable right now. This means that online has gotten into its favorite pastime in response: shitposting.

While I love all art of mean ladies who breathe fire, and I happen to currently be populating a Pinterest board of images for my sexy demon Halloween costume, I am still overwhelmed by how strongly Bowsette has taken root in video game fandom. Next time the world seems so bleak and divided that you want to give up hope, just remember the Super Crown exists, and that also, most people would probably fuck Bowser, with or without the crown. I’m not sure if that’s comforting information. But it’ll definitely keep your brain occupied.
