What Is The Most Interesting Thing Ludwig Could Do Or Have Been Through??

What is the most interesting thing ludwig could do or have been through??

Ludwig, early on in Bowser's castle, had a struggle relating to magic- magical residue. He was struggling to control his magic, and it was manifesting as magic dust.

Which most commonly is white. It's very sparkly, and makes your hair next to impossible to tame. It's a sign of either a very weak spell caster, or a prodigy. Ludwig just so happens to be the latter. Think someone who is too good for their level, magic literally oozing out of them.

He grew out of it as he gained proficiency to match up to his potential, but for a long while he was a walking disco ball, sabotaging early Koopaling missions because he was visible from miles away.

Other Koopalings also had magic dust in some capacity, however Ludwig's hair got straight up white. Bowser only discovered his true hair color after he started to take care of himself

how having a fictional man wife feels like

Headcanon dump - Mario Mario and Luigi Mario

birthday: 11th October, shared (Mario is the older twin)

species: human (duh)

MBTI: ESFP-A for Mario, ISFJ-T for Luigi

Humans aren't a native species to the Mushroom World. If human logic applies to the Mushroom World, Mario and Luigi and any other humans could be considered aliens (Super Mario Bros SCP AU?/j)

99.99 percent of first generation humans come from the comically complex pipe system in this universe

Naturally, both Mario and Luigi ended up discovering such pipes, because they're working as plumbers

Most humans have a complex relationship with the Earth and the Mushroom World, which extends to both of the brothers alike. They love their family back in Brooklyn dearly, and often visit them. However due to the financial stability and much better conditions of the Mushroom World, the duo have decided to reside primarily close to the Mushroom Kingdom, in a small home set up by Princess Peach.

Their home has a giant pipe on the roof, but not just for aesthetic reasons. This pipe is actually capable of sending any of the brothers back into the Earth whenever they please.

Mario's relationship with the Princess Peach is actually more complex than in canon. He's actually in a happy relationship with Pauline, a fellow human who also ended up in the Mushroom World, and was the person he was initially saving. However, being impulsive heroic and hearing about a poor Princess who needs rescuing, he jumped right in for help. Without any considerations who's the real good/bad side, without thinking how an alien intrusion could potentially wreck politics the way it got wrecked in my AU, he's just eager to help, albeit a little blindly

yes, I am implying that Princess Peach is a hypocrite pushing down a relationship onto Mario in a similar fashion to Bowser pushing Peach. Luckily for her, Mario remains oblivious, misinterpreting her intentions as friendly. She wouldn't get interested in a human plumber, let alone a taken man, right?

Luigi's rescuing comes more thoughtfully, and in a more reasonable approach. He discovered the pipes leading to the Mushroom World later, following Mario in secret. He intentionally kept Luigi from discovering the Mushroom World, wanting to ensure this new dimension would be safe for his baby brother before properly introducing him to it. It backfired however, getting Luigi only more insistent, ironically to protect Mario too

Because Luigi treats his missions more seriously, he is generally respected by different kingdoms, despite being an alien whose older twin's first instinct is to throw hands. To me, the fact people don't remember Luigi's name is a good thing, he's so respectful there aren't no incidents with him present for strangers to remember his name.

Because of his respect and nuance, Luigi and Bowser are friends, keeping their eyes out for Mario's shenanigans. Who knows, maybe Bowser someday will mature out of gluing up to his ex and pursue someone who actually likes him? (yes I'm a bowuigi shipper)

But what about Prince Peasley? Simple, he's out of the comfortable age range, around Ludwig's. If Bowser could comfortably have someone of Peasley's age as his child, Luigi is definitely too old for them. They're still close friends, but if there's something it's one sided, and Luigi makes sure to set boundaries if he ever gets too close, like a responsible adult.

Mario and Luigi are mutually overprotective. Mario assumes the worst and immediately wants to jump into the action, Luigi is making sure that everything is okay calmly.

both of them love cooking, especially from their home recipes smuggled all the way from Brooklyn. Whenever they come back from Earth, their backpacks are filled to the brim with Earth food and Earth spices

despite having countless job options (they even could open a restaurant, Toadstools are suckers for Earth food), Mario and Luigi work as plumbers in the castle, and REFUSE to be anything more, anything less. They don't like flashy titles, and exploiting their alien advantages, their occupation at home was being a plumber, and they feel their best working as plumbers. All their rescuing is volunteering without pay, which often perplexes Bowser

Mario, despite being very erratic at times, somehow befriended Yoshi's, a solitary species living in a seperate island who refuse to speak common. The real reason is that he actually had visited the dimension pipes before as a baby, and got taken care of by a Yoshi tribe (the whole Yoshi's island series). He's essentially treated like a part of the tribe, even if he doesn't have any memories of it.

Luigi is acting often like a babysitter either for Bowser Jr. or the Koopaling Clan. He gets countless questions about humans, and even started Ludwig's pianist career on accident by introducing him to human pianists. He's eager to teach them and Bowser though, and incorporate human traditions in his babysitting (ex. Christmas), happy that his human status is being appreciated in the Dark Land.

Mario is often hesitant to talk to Toadstools. They smell like mushrooms and he hates these (newest mario movie reference). He's growing more tolerant to them, though, exposure therapy/lh

Daisy, another princess Mario decided to rescue without thinking, became their close friend. She's living quite far away though in Sarasaland, so it's not super close, but her approach is definitely healthier and more unconditional unlike Peach.

Wario and Waluigi are another pair of human brothers residing in the Mushroom World. However unlike Mario and Luigi, they're much more exploitative and detached, living as two bounty hunters with Wario having his whole company (Warioware). They're not too friendly, though Mario and Luigi have tried to befriend these humans in a similar position.

Mario is highly competitive, but not antagonistic. This often gets interpreted wrong, but just because he's energetic doesn't mean that he's holding grudges, and just because he's friendly doesn't mean he's meek.

in a similar fashion, Luigi is cowardly, but not a pushover. He may be scared, but he will rescue you. And just because he's heroic, it doesn't mean that he's suddenly confident. He's a person who wants to do good, pushing through even with his anxiety.

Luigi and Dr. E.Gadd are friends. Though he gets all embarrassed and timid whenever this famous scientist still recognizes him and goes for a hug. He doesn't see himself as a hero, so it's really awkward for him when he's recognized as one

Humans don't hold in magic permanently, forcing the duo to rely on power-ups, aka magic inducing herbs. However, after learning fire casting and thunder casting respectively (Superstar Saga), Mario and Luigi have a slight bit of magic that have stayed. The longer they reside in the Mushroom World, the more their human limits can be crossed and the stronger they can get, using more and more complex power ups. Though, the duo is happy with just having a free lighter on their hands to set off the stove/lh

They're capable of speaking common, but in heightened emotions they default to italian, their native language. And then of course Junior picks up on italian slurs and parrots them back at Bowser

Star Children Theory

Every Koopaling is based on the stars in some capacity. Named after famous music stars, Morton's habit of painting on a star on his face, Larry's star shaped mole, Lemmy's crescent moons marks.

They were here before Bowser Jr, without Bowser having any hints of a relationship. Without a reasonable way to get an heir.

Seven koopalings

Seven stars

what else has seven stars in the Mario universe?

(actually a lot of things, but let's focus on something relevant to the theory)

a literal game about granting wishes!

My theory is this: Koopalings are a result of Bowser's wish to prolong the koopa kingdom when he's gone.

Without any heirs (yet), without anyone worthy in Bowser's eyes to run this place when he's gone, with Mario's shenanigans being a proper threat. What's Bowser going to do if he suddenly disappears? He won't give the throne to a nobody who will ruin the kingdom Bowser takes such pride in!

So, calling Koopalings his children and his commanders is both correct. They're the kingdom's future support, a group of koopas without whom Junior would've been driven into oblivion. Technically, they come from Bowser's wish, so you can interpret it both as biological children, and unrelated successors.

Look, even the colors of the star piece match up!

(before you start bothering me about Ludwig, there's his super mario world appearance)

TL;DR

Bowser's Koopalings are a direct result from a fulfilled Star Road wish to prolong the prosperity of the Koopa Kingdom. This explains the star themed design on the Koopalings, and is another motivation for Bowser to help in Super Mario RPG - he tried wishing and it had worked! almost too well! (seven kids is a lot)
