hi what if soul ties existed in some capacity in the Mario Universe

end post

Hi again I just read your pinned page about yourself and I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND about how you are deeply emotionally attached to ludwig cuz I'm the exact same way since I was 7 years old 😭😭😭

I've given up on acting normal here ((o(*>ω<*)o)) it's literally Tumblr, if any of the 29 of you who follows me (love y'all) know me IRL they're just in as deep as me. I'm still pretty ashamed of my oddities but it will get out one way or another, i just wanted to control the flow of the shit hitting the fan

edit: so many of these are halloween themed lol- im sorry

Ex: Hellboy and I are gonna bake pumpkin roll cakes!! (two bc bro could deffo finish a whole cake himself 💀)

Coming out

There is something I've been scared to share, regarding the oc I'm developing. But as more I design her the more I'm pushed to admit it, I even changed my bio to reflect it. With Elizabeth, I had two choices. Either A. keep her relatively normal, or B. keep up her true self. As much as option A is easier, I've decided to risk it to stay authentic to her both as a character, a s/i, a person who deserves to be portrayed the way she was intended to be.

Princess Elizabeth is an age regressor.

"But what even is that?"

Picture this: you're an important person, a princess, whose decisions weigh on the whole country. You're barely an adult (she's ~21), but the pressure is on, each little move can make or break it. You're supposed to know everything. Everyone asks you about everything, you're pressured to know everything while you know in fact nothing, everything is just so overwhelming that you're feeling like a little child. And that's exactly what age regression is - reverting back to a younger state of mind as a coping mechanism. Some people do it for fun, some, like me, use it as something to make every day just a little bit more enjoyable.

"Does that mean Elizabeth is a s/i?"

Partially. I'll ensure to tag any non-canon entries about her, but back when I made her in 2018 she was intended to be a s/i, before I even knew what that meant. She's a whole character, but I don't want to lie to myself about her roots

TLDR this blog is self ship and agere friendly!

we're not open for trick or treaters! ☺

(Ludwig please, we talked about interjecting in my posts)

((but Vaika! You don't even know what it means! it's unrea

Please reblog if YES so your followers will know!

I love your blog and how you're so active with us we enjoy you and the blog I hope it stays for a while ❤️😁

thanks for letting me yap about my little assasins

What is your favorite Headcanon for Ludwig von koopa the best koopaling ever ❤️❤️

Favorite headcanon? Probably that Ludwig is a Romantic at heart. I'm unsure how art eras are taught in your region, but Romanticism is an art period between ~1798 and 1837. The person Ludwig got characterized after, Ludwig Van Beethoven, comes from that time period. And it naturally reflects in Ludwig Von Koopa, too. How exactly?

Emotion and passion

his art is a reflection of all of his feelings that are most often trapped. Sure, most of the emotions he displays are negative, but they're intense, grand, Romantic, overwhelming. He's not half as stoic as he makes himself out to be. That's what I remember about the Romanticism the most, and that's what seemingly defines Ludwig, his grand emotions. His huge sense of pride, his sardonism, his jealousy of Bowser Jr, every single feeling is grand and all over even if he's trying to repress it.

The critique of progress

he literally abandoned his inventive work of making machines in favor of focusing on art. And guess what, the Enlightenment period that preceeded Romanticism is most known for the industrial revolution. Almost as if he entered a whole new art period during puberty, going from Kooky to Ludwig, finding a new purpose that is much more emotionally fulfilling.

A return to the past

he fixates on history, old art, human civilizations for a reason. He's seemingly fascinated by the old, by what made the Dark Land what it is today, eager not to repeat his ancestors' mistakes.

An awe of nature

a lot of his work, both musical and even mechanical circles around the nature. He actively doesn't like whenever Bowser attempts to do something against the nature, and he treats it as something pure, without any political chaos or wars. Animals just want to survive, they never have ill intent.

The purity of childhood

why is Ludwig so protective of the Koopalings? Why he's acting all like a helicopter parent whenever they do have to go on the missions? This is the reason. Not having much of a childhood himself, he wants to make sure the other Koopalings (and reluctantly, Bowser Jr)'s childhoods remain as innocent as possible. He believes each kid deserves a loving and safe environment, and it hurts him that the circumstances forced him to run the Koopaling Clan for survival. He tries his best to protect his siblings whenever he can though, especially if they're minors. (Wendy, Morton, Larry)

 The Search for Subjective Truth

he often diverges from Bowser's narratives, why? You guessed it, another Romanticism specific value! He often ignores his mentors and advisors, he's eager to dig into the information outside of the status quo, and often discovers knowledge that would be otherwise unavailable to him if he had blindly listened to Bowser or anyone else for that matter.

The Celebration of the Individual

I'm the oldest Koopaling! I'm the self proclaimed clan leader! I'm different, I'm unique! I don't think I have to explain this one. Ludwig is highly individualistic and self absorbed, to the point it comes off as pompous and brusque. He doesn't want to be a part of the group, but an individual with his own opinions and beliefs, independent from everyone else.

A Break From Convention

which of course, extends to his work flow! Since he's the individual he can do whatever the hell he wants! A lot of his decisions and changes of plans are chaotic, dare I say artistic, surprising everyone. He sees the bigger picture, and will act on his own accord, being two or three steps ahead.

Spirituality and the Occult

Nintendo isn't exactly religion focused, so this part is completely headcanonized. Since he's searching for the truth independent from everything, to me it only sounds natural he'd be interested in exploring the unknown, the irrational, metaphysical even. Like the star wishing, or anything Rosalina related, or even just boos. He's drawn to the unscientific not just to rebel against his childhood self, but to potentially discover something nobody else has.

Freedom

this is also something significant. Romanticism is an active rebellion against tyranny of the previous period. My AU takes place in a middle of a war between the Dark Land and the Mushroom Kingdom, and Ludwig resents the system. He secretly hates *both* Peach and Bowser, who are throwing wars over their political schemes. He sees his targets as equals, both him and the other side being victims of a broken system, system he's eager to fight against.

link to the article I was referencing: https://prowritingaid.com/romanticism-characteristics

However, there's one important detail; Ludwig is living in the present day. He's careful not to fall onto logical traps that Romanticism brings (example: women are just pretty objects to stare at, all science is bad). My headcanon is that his heart is in within this time period, not that progress wise he's stuck in the early 19th century. Sorry for making this so long!

Larry: So what sort of superhero missions do we get from the king?

Wendy: Larry

Larry: I want my costume to be all cool and fresh!

Wendy: Larry

Larry: you know, to really impress the cats we're going to save off the trees and-

Wendy: LARRY!

Larry: ?

Wendy: Do you even know what sort of clan you just joined??

Larry: I don't know, but it's surely something cool and badass since we work for King Bowser-

Wendy: we're assasins, dumbass. We kill people for our clients.

Larry: ...

Headcanon dump - Wendy Orlean Von Koopa (Wendy O. Koopa)

age: 17

mbti: ESFP-A

birthday: May 28th

Wendy has alopecia, and often wears wigs. She's growing more confident about her lack of hair, though :)

her red coral necklace is inherited from her late mother

She's the only clan member who doesn't wear second claws (spiked bracelets). Her claws are the longest and she doesn't need extra support

She works a part time job as a stylist at Birdetta's saloon. It's a great cover up for her actual occupation as a member of an assassin clan, and she gets to perfect her eye for fashion

She's fixated on her wealth and status, joining the clan in that sensitive spot in the development where she gets aware of the status/money, but not old enough to correctly process it. She comes off as a spoiled brat because of it, but she means well

She has a short temper, and despite her outward appearance she is tomboyish thanks to being raised with 6 brothers, arguably more aggressive than Roy (which is a noteworthy achievement)

Wendy absolutely loves water, in all forms. Whether chilling at the beach or ice skating, she's always doing everything to end up somewhere around water. Which is natural for an aqua caster

Her fashion sense is best described as gyarū, if we want to pin point it, kōgal. The beachy energy, bright hair, endless phone charms and bracelets describes her to the tee. However she is eager to experiment with any colorful and hyperfeminine fashion style

her gold bangles serve a second function - they can turn into magic resistant handcuffs to help capture the clan's targets.

She is defacto the spokesperson for the Koopaling Clan. Approachable yet not easy to manipulate, a perfect in between

She specializes in social settings that require gentleness. Higher politicians, scandals, corruptions, if the situation requires high emotional intelligence, she's up for it

her weapon of choice for this reason are usually small, unassuming objects. Because that bedazzled gun surely is just a toy, just like this little pink pen that surely isn't a knife

Although she is not the physical tank of the clan, she has one of the highest body counts, reliably neutralizing targets without a trace

she loves helping others get better at styling, if they allow her. Ludwig didn't get so good at embracing his inner romantic goth by himself, y'know?

She almost always has some sort of gum on her, a habit to help pop her ears became a long term thing

She likes to draw a mole on herself, comically it almost always changes positions, she just puts it where it clicks the most on a certain day (a reference to her art, love y'all)

Kootie Pie is arguably the closest personality wise to her older counterpart, maybe became calmer and more lethal but her core traits remain the same

She wouldn't stop getting teased on her 16th birthday because of her 6 year old self demanding America for her birthday, being convinced she's 16 and not 6 (the adventures of super mario bros 3 reference)

She's by all means a feminist, wants to hop in to any mission which involves a female client or a female victim(s). She knows exactly what being ignored due to her gender is like, and wants to do some good to women in a similar position

She doesn't have a particular close person in the clan. She's always been more on the side, hesitant as the only girl of the group. All of her brothers love her dearly, though.

I'm not even talking about surface level "ah we're siblings so of course we love each other". They definitely got influenced by Wendy's presence in how they treat women, getting a healthy female figure as a reference to what should they do. Believe me, her scratches can break down even Roy's most stubborn stunts.

She loves her ribbons, wearing them both with or without the wig. It bordelines on obsession, she has one for every single occasion

her favorite color is actually red, but she wants to look more approachable so usually wears pink.

She absolutely loves decorating anything. other people, interior, exterior, gardens, nails, cakes, you name it. She often is seen designing whatever comes to her mind

She may look and act like a mean popular girl, but she really does care, she's just bad at displaying it

she is ALWAYS fashionably late. She's quite analytical like Ludwig and gets busy ensuring the safest route (that includes starbucks/hj) to the destination.

She loves trashy media, trashy pop, trashy soap operas, anything so bad that it's good. She enjoys laughing at the stupidity of it

Just because she loves hyperfeminine things, it doesn't mean that she's stupid. Most of her targets had made this exact mistake, assuming she's just another dumb blonde and where are they? ✨in the grave✨

ah a fellow Ludwig liker, I see. Can I ask what made him your fave? /lh Like. What made you start liking him?

That fucking laugh in NSMBWii 🥺 Made all the suffering in world 7 worth it. A love at first sight if you will

- Vaika

Who is your favorite koopaling? (Bonus points if it's Ludwig😁)

of course it's Ludwig 😭 He's just in this perfect middle spot of a tsundere, not toxic but not soft either. He'll be protective and caring but he WILL be grumpy about it like a legit older brother

- Vaika

Headcanon Dump - Lawrence Von Koopa (Larry)

Age: 15

Birthday: he wasn't named after a specific musician, but I'm taking a guess it's an autumn birthday, somewhere in the early September.

MBTI: ENFP-T

He practically lives in hoodies as much as in his shell

He wants to be many things, but is too lazy to become any of it. He's not ambitious, but he will yap at you at how he is ambitious

His comfort object are his headphones, whether when working on a piece or to listen to the radio (hah! my blog name makes sense now!), they're always either on his head, or on his shoulders

He's the newest face in the koopaling clan, and has a lot of culture shocks in comparison to his knowledge from his days in the mushroom kingdom

why was he in the Mushroom Kingdom? after their dad had disappeared, all of the siblings got seperated in different foster care systems. Larry got the short end of the stick, and ended up arguably the worst, in the shady district of Toad Town, with unfamiliar species.

from his rough background, he had learned how to steal and cheat to get by, earning his childhood nickname "Cheatsy"

He and the Koopaling Clan met during one of his "endeavours"

His biggest dream is to become a worthy assasin like his siblings become a DJ in the Electrodome

His star shaped birth mark comes from his dad, Mortimer

His "second claws" (the spiked bracelets most of the clan wears) are misaligned, he still hasn't learned how to wear these

His shoes are always untied, not because he doesn't know, but because he doesn't care. He fell over badly during his first mission, and now he cares.

Out of all his siblings, for some odd reason he's the closest to Ludwig. He doesn't force his niceness, he's also a musician, and isn't scared to put Larry in line when the situation calls for it. Larry can rely on him and feel safe, while also admiring his skills.

He likes spending time with Wendy and Morton the most, though. They're close enough in age where it doesn't feel weird, and they're not as "mean" as Roy.

He loves video games, and YES IT INCLUDES DRESS TO IMPRESS. Even Wendy isn't safe from "do you have games on your phone?"

He discovered he has royal blood on accident, his fire breath manifesting when he picked particularly spicy chips, something specific to Bowser's family only. (the fire breathing, not idiocy.)

As a young teen barely having any time to himself, his sleep schedule is fucked. He relies on energy drinks to function, something the koopaling clan collectively dislikes

Despite of that, he has tons of energy, and being a clan member is the perfect place to let it out. He's always eager to train, combat, or even chase around with Iggy and Ein at 2 AM.

His music taste? does he even have one? He can have fun to any music, and I'm not exaggerating. He's the only one able to handle Bowser's sappy ballads, hence why he's "his number one koopaling"

He often hums to himself, and the Koopa Kid Theme comes from Ludwig and Morton picking up on it and adding their input.

he's HIGHLY competition and food motivated. Ludwig ensures that whatever he wants from him involves both

He absolutely is a foodie, coming from a food insecure background. Larry is living in a goddamn castle, of course his first instinct is to catch up on all the food he's been missing.

He's never there when you call him, but when you open any food he's always right next to you

Ludwig combats this by putting anchoovies in everything, well aware it's one of few things Larry hates, canned fish, eurgh.

He loves sports, as one of his favorite past times back in the mushroom kingdom. He often drags his siblings for a tennis match..or ten

His hair care is a trait directly received from Ludwig, wanting to be like him made him also copy his caring for appearance

Lots of energy doesn't mean great coordination. He's visibly clumsier and with less stamina. In his defense, he's been training for less than a year!

He is a coward, his confidence got a hard reality check when comparing himself to other siblings, especially Ludwig.

Ludwig: ah yes, that simpleton Larry vaping and ruining himself with energy drinks

Ludwig: *sips his 20th coffee* kids these days, when I was his age I didn't need all these..eurgh, addictions for inspiration *lights up cigarette*

Ludwig: I don't get it! He's wasting himself away and thinks it's normal!

Iggy: ...

Ludwig: *opens up Whisky* At least I know what goes down in my system

What is your juiciest headcanon for Ludwig

Ludwig is an absolute incel. He has the money, the looks, the confidence, but socially he's an absolute failure. It's so bad in fact that Roy and Morton often follow him around during social gatherings, to prevent him from talking to females without supervision. The only reason the fandom likes him is because we get to see him in the natural family setting, he'd be absolutely insufferable if you met him face to face

UWAAAA YOU'RE LOOKING SO GOOD LIKE WHAT 😭🥺

Boo, Ludwig cosplay jumpscare

she's actually really relevant to the fan fic and I don't even have a name 😭 a baker and a mama bear, that's pretty much all i can say without spoilers

he's only angry because they noticed

🥺

Für Elise?

Okay bye

Koopaling clan Headcanons - Human Culture

So we're both aware that dimensional travel between humans and Mushroom World citizens is canon. Mario and Luigi are canonically italian plumbers from Brooklyn, and some other characters are human in the Mario setting, an alien species in this world setting. An event common enough in my AU to gain a special division in Bowser's army! So how would the koopaling clan treat these aliens?

Ludwig owes his pianist career to human music. In the mushroom world, pianos are way too difficult for four fingered creatures, and having to tune them? They're treated mostly as rich people decoration, because trying to play anything is too much of a hassle. Ludwig tried to learn it by himself, however with barely any piano players and zero access to tutorials, he sounded terrible, to the point where people joked he's partially deaf. If it wasn't for Luigi who noticed him trying to steal his classical cassette player to try to replicate the pieces, and gifted him piano books and sheet notes translated by hand to darklandian, he would've been stuck smashing the keyboard for arguably the rest of his life. It's not just piano for Ludwig, either. He likes any art that comes from humans, intrigued by how good humans can get at it with zero access to magic! His favorite art period is Romanticism.

Lemmy has a lukewarm treatment of humans. He wants his tricks to be original, and it always annoys him when he discovers that his stunt, yet again, was made by a human before. But at the same time, they're fun to be around, certainly Luigi to pull pranks on him!

to Roy, human stuff is for NEEERDS. Wait. They have Jackie Chan? Okay, maybe human stuff isn't that bad..

Iggy uses human resources as a reference to his experiments. He loves discovering how different the experiments go, from different atmosphere and unique, earth specific factors. It's less biased than native research, either claiming that toads good koopas bad, or vice versa, and he really appreciates it. He also loves learning about human pets (carefully, to not make Ein jealous), especially insects!

Wendy enjoys learning human fashion, and snatching up pieces of the styling knowledge to herself. She also begs Luigi each time he goes back to Brooklyn for soap operas, because the darklandian television would've never dropped so low, and god is it entertaining.

Morton isn't interested in human culture too much. He once tried an Earth protein recipe and couldn't handle how much of it humans could have in one sitting. It took him a solid month to trust that Luigi's pasta isn't packed with powdered protein. (Don't even try to tell him that some people eat the protein raw)

And where's Larry, in all of it? He's too lazy to get interested by himself, he'd need a solid motivation to form an opinion on humans. Though he would absolutely love the meme culture if he ever discovers it, and God have mercy if he ever does.

liking anchoovies 👹👹
