Thinking on it, this would be an interesting "curse" for Bowser.

Not only is it taking the big, powerful and intimidating dragon-turtle King and putting him in a smaller, and objectively weaker body. But it's also making him look like the object of his obsessive affection, a constant reminder of his failures and what he can never have.

With that said too, I'm still always 100% on board with cute Bowsette/Mario stuff like this.

This is super sweet and I ship the FUCK out of it.
