Okay, so if you've been living under a rock.....congrats I applaud you, somehow you manage to live in the seriously messed up world we live in.....to catch you up Nintendo released a new item that would be in New Super Mario Bros for the Switch and when Toadette put it on she turned into Princess Peach. Now, that in itself was a "wow, okay that makes sense so Peach can be and really is the Mushroom Princess it makes sense now." However, this is the internet, and thanks to a Twitter user named: _____________ we received this comic.
And it was only going to get worse.
Over the next few days fan art of her exploded more and more, it was madness. People drew pictures of other characters in Mario or in other games and universes wearing the crown as either gender-swapped characters or female versions of things like Chain Chomp for instance. Professional manga artists took a shot at drawing her. People were cosplaying Bowsette. There were people modifying Peach amiibo's to make them Bowsette amiibo's. There was a convention for her set up in Japan. And much like with Overwatch there was apparently a spike to something like 500K searches of inappropriate things online, because of course there was. Like, Bowsette already has and gets more attention than Waluigi....poor Waluigi....in all seriousness though she managed to become one of Nintendo's most popular characters without being a Nintendo character.
I know that things are a little less intense now but there is still constant fan art and "crown transformation pics" that people come up with. The problem with something like this is she's broke the internet so quickly that she'll become forgotten very quickly. That's how the internet works, something is incredibly popular then it disappears, and that's what she is right now. Bowsette appeared, broke the internet, and now it's how much longer is she going to be kicking around.
That being said, anyone that likes the character should enjoy it while it's still around and relevant, which is why the last part of my article is just going to be a slideshow of images. Obviously the credit goes to whatever artist drew them and I'm just getting them from Google, so enjoy.
