OC: Ian; the vampire
A little bit ago, I shared a piece of art of an OC of mine, named Ian.
He's a vampire, who one day suddenly found himself in a completely different world than he fell asleep in.
Eventually, he gets found by one of the world's inhabitants...
This being Iggy (and Morton) Koopa.
Perhaps, despite the trauma Ian had gained from people overall, and the distrust pretty much all of the Darklands have for humans, they can trust each other…
So, Iggy and Morton take Ian back to the castle, and the rest let him stay for a night.
It’s just that all that while, Ian hadn’t let on that he isn’t exactly a normal human…
But what happens when they do finally find out?...
Will they still accept Ian, even though they now know what he truly is?
Also, bonus of my personalised design of Koopa Iggy.
He's tall and slender, his tail being long and thin, too, and him having dark green scales on his shoulders, and light green underneath those, and on his knees, tip of his tail, elbows, and heels.
Does your ludwig have a stuffed animal to sleep with? If so, what animal is it?
I have a stuffed elephant that I’ve had for forever, and I still sleep with it :>
He does! His usual/main stuffed animal is a "regular" Teddybear (that he got from Bowser somewhere in the first week of being in his castle). But he actually has a whole arsenal of plushies and stuffed animals.
It's almost "You need one, Ludwig got one."
It's just that he keeps them a secret from everyone... (Untill two people eventually find out...~)
He also definitely has a collection of plushies of himself and his family. I really like the idea of the royal Koopa family having plushies of themselves that are sold throughout the entire kingdom/throughout all of Darklands.
So, he has either bought this collection of everyone, himself. Or, perhaps Iggy and Larry got Ludwig that specific collection...
I think you might like to read this one-shot ;)
(And it also explains why/how no one knows about them, but Iggy and Larry do).
PS; Also, same. I still sleep with the Teddybear I had since my birth. A lot of the sleep headcanons have bits and pieces of how I sleep ^w^
Koopalings sleeping positions
(These are my ideas for my Koopalings).
Ludwig; Is a side sleeper, and needs something in his arms. Preferably a plushie/stuffed animal, but a sibling will work well, too. And if he must, a blanket or pillow will suffice for the night…
Iggy; Can fall asleep in almost any position. Well, keep sleeping in any position, is probably a better explanation… He can fall asleep on his back or his side, but as long as there’s no one to “restrain” him, he most likely won’t wake up in the same position he fell asleep in. Sleeping on his side while hugging someone? Will keep hugging them all night long. Lemmy curls up and falls asleep on his chest? He’ll be an amazing mattress for the night. Falling asleep without anyone in his arms or on top of him? Yeah… He has woken up hanging half off of his bed… Multiple times.
Lemmy; Curls up, much like a cat. It’s pretty much the only position he sleeps in. Or curled around something. He sleeps on Iggy’s chest, but has also fallen asleep curled around someone’s head a few times. He doesn’t care about the surface he’s on though. Sure, bed or person is the best, but couch, floor, or grass, is also fine for him. Heck. Even atop of the fridge, is where he can sleep. Yeah… Kamek will not forget the fear he felt when something (relatively big) suddenly moved on top of the fridge, when he was making early breakfast for himself… O yeah, did I forget to mention that Lemmy has the magical equivalent of sleepwalking? (Or accidental magic, whatever you want to call it. ~ Iggy) It has happened quite the few times where Lemmy fell asleep in his bed, but woke up somewhere else. Usually in a flowerbed in the garden, but on top of the fridge, or some other place where it’ll scare you if you’re not prepared, is not out of the options…
Roy; Is a stomach sleeper. He also usually doesn’t have a pillow. It’s very quickly that it elevates his head into a position that’ll cause his quite the amount of neck pain, which isn’t exactly ideal for a fighter… He is the opposite from Lemmy in regards to surface to sleep on due to this though. He usually can’t really use a pillow, so he needs his head to be able to rest on a soft and comfortable surface. It’s highly uncommon to see him sleep on anything else than a bed or couch (and the stuff that belongs in that same category). Or he must be really, really tired/sleepy.
Wendy; Is a back sleeper, and wears a mask. She prefers to be surrounded by soft stuff, so you better bet that she has those extremely fluffy pillows and blankets. She also has the “power” to fall asleep at any time. This (thankfully) is a conscious thing, and not something akin to narcolepsy, like the rest had initially feared when she started to display this as a young hatchling.
Morton; Is a side sleeper. He likes to lay against something though. It’s not like Ludwig needing something in his arms. He can sleep just fine without sleeping against something. But, 4 out of 5 times, he can be found sleeping close to the wall next to his bed.
Larry; Can sleep in any usual position, and uses a mask while sleeping. It has a Bluetooth speaker in it, so that he can keep listening to music. He falls asleep significantly faster when he has something to listen to. Usually this is music, but when they have a big sleepover, and people (usually the twins if it’s one with their family,) are talking still while everyone should be trying to sleep, Larry will actually fall asleep due to their talking
Junior; Prefers sleeping on his sides, but can also sleep on his back. He has this thing where his body (aside from his head), has to be covered by the blanket when he sleeps on his bed or on the couch. He will seriously wake up if he doesn’t have it. Or if he moves a bit and a bit of the blanket falls off of him, this can wake him up.
Based on/Inspired by my own "love language Koopalings headcanons", I made a drawing of a part of Iggy's explanation.
(Him being very much of the physical touch.)
He will often stand behind Ludwig and "use him as a headrest". Ludwig near always pretends to not like it, but he secretly loves to get hugged. (He just barely ever gives them).
Btw, this is simple family love. No romance for those who might think it with this.
Also, I tried to show the difference in their body types more in this one. With a hint of more of my own view of what their body types are like. (Potential extra colouring will come later. We're doing things step by step).
Koopalings heacanons; Love language
I got inspired by me and a friend of mine for this, as we both know we love each other (platonic in this case), but show it in vastly different ways.
So, how do my Koopalings convey their love for each other?
General info:
The five types of love languages are:
- Physiscal touch.
- Verbal
- Acts of service
- Quality time
- Gift giving
Ludwig is mainly gift giving, with a denial on physical touch.
Iggy is mainly physical touch, with verbal as a pretty close second (or perhaps almost equal), and a hint of quality time (he hates that he hasn’t found something for him and his dad, and him and his sister to do together.)
Lemmy is mainly physical touch.
Roy is mainly acts of service, and a chunk of quality time.
Wendy is mainly gift giving/acts of service (her gifts are always something that you’ll need, like a nice suit for an important event.)
Morton is mostly physical touch.
Larry is quality time with physical touch.
Junior is gift giving and quality time.
More/Deeper info under the cut.
Ludwig’s gift giving is in the form of how he always makes his family a personalised music piece, which he spends hours, if not days, on to get it perfected.
And while he is never the one to initiate a hug or so, he is the one to pull away last.
He will also say to stop leaning on his head to Iggy, or to ruffle his hair with just about anyone, but he either doesn’t try to slap the hand/paw away, or does it with minimal power. (And sometimes even starts to softly purr when pet).
He will sort of give the physical touch too, though. Just not in ways most immediately think of.
It’d be like sitting on the couch reading something, and letting Larry lay against his leg while the younger one is playing a game.
Iggy is of the physical touch and some verbal love. The biggest example, is with Lemmy when either is not feeling well (or just ‘cause). Or with Ludwig, when he's overworking himself again.
Lemmy will often use Iggy’s chest as a mattress, and Iggy will hug/hold him in return. (And of course we have the whole thing of Lemmy standing on Iggy’s shoulders while they’re walking.)
As for with Ludwig, when Iggy notices that Ludwig is overworking himself again, (usually by not having seen Ludwig all day long, while he has been out of his room himself), he'll get to Ludwig’s room, get behind him, lays his arms over Ludwig’s shoulders and his head on top of his.
When Iggy “annoys” Ludwig, and Ludwig says something like “I hate you…” or “You’re a menace…” Iggy simply responds with “Love you too Luds/Luddy.”
Bonus on the physical, he is very quick to use his long and slim tail to wrap around someone's ankle during a hug. This isn't always a conscious doing, and it has happened that someone tripped.
Lemmy is mainly physica touch, as he is not afraid to jump onto anyone (usually back, but also shoulders with Iggy and Roy).
He loves to hug people, and lay/sit in people’s laps.
Roy is mainly acts of service, as he will see someone struggle, and help them out if possible. Like he did in Lemmy day 2024. If someone can’t get the new jar to open, he’ll say “give here”, and open it for them. Or, (in case if the small ones), he’ll grab the jar they want from the higher shelf, with a “here you go” or sometimes even wordless.
His quality time is through little things personalised on the combo.
Just Dance battles with Ludwig (usually late in the evening or night, as both agreed that no one must know).
Study sessions or simply physical research. (He and Iggy both took Biology in school, and due to this, sometimes accompanies Iggy when going out to find shit out (about plants or peole/creatures)).
Being Lemmy’s spotter while trying new tricks, as landing just that tad bit wrong can result in shit that not even Iggy or a trained nurse can really help with. But, Roy is strong enough to safely catch the little Koopaling, and is very quick to see when it (will) go wrong.
With Wendy it’s helping her while she’s making new clothes, or simply play dress-up. He’ll gladly let her paint his nails, as they’re often not that pretty on their own due to his love for fighting and showing off how strong he is. (And he thinks he rocks certain of the nail polish colours).
With Morton, it’s mainly the sparring sessions. But, what not many know, he’ll gladly watch shows and/or movies with his fellow strong brother. Or race each other on their motorbikes. (Quite a lot small things).
He loves to play against or with Larry in sports or games. He especially loves to play shooter games with Larry on his team. Together, with Roy’s knowledge on firearms, and Larry’s gaming skills, they almost always win.
With Junior, it’s an admittedly smaller amount of things and times. But, he’ll still gladly try to see who can get the farthest with their fire breath. Currently, Roy can go the farthest with the straight fire breath, while Junior can keep his fireballs going for longer than Roy.
Wendy is mainly a combo of gift giving and acts of service. She’ll make things you’ll need (soon). Usually this is clothes, like a fancy suit for an upcoming event. But it can also be something like a book for Ludwig or Iggy that has to do with whatever they’re researching. Or spices that she overheard were almost gone/empty on the kitchen.
Morton is very much about the physical touch. He loves to pick his siblings up and hug them. With the little ones also picking them up and put them on his shoulders. Although… He has done it once or twice with Ludwig and Iggy… (He would with Roy, but because they’re both the same size, it would bring him out of balance.)
Larry is quality time with a bit of physical touch
He’ll just be near/hanging our with Ludwig. Bake with Iggy. Do parkours with/against Lemmy. Spar or play games against Roy. Talk love interests (and sometimes fashion/trends) with Wendy. Just chill in Morton’s lap (usually when watching TV, or playing something on it). And play some sports with Junior.
But he loves to hug, and will sometimes also just cling onto someone’s leg. (This happened especially when he has just hatched. Ludwig still has a few scars on his leg from baby Larry’s claws…)
Roy usually just continues walking like nothing’s wrong. Morton and Iggy pick him up and carry him. And Ludwig looks down at Larry for a moment, giving Larry the opportunity to let go. Sometimes he does, but when he doesn’t, Ludwig just floats the rest of the way to where he was going. (He casts the spell onto on himself, so Larry has to really hold on. But, or course he never flies too high, so that if Larry fails to hold on, he won’t really be hurt from the fall.)
Junior is mainly gift giving and quality time.
Similar to Ludwig, he’ll always have a drawing ready for the person’s birthday. Usually this is a drawing about something he and the receiver like to do together. (Or just something that is really conveying their relationship).
One of the instances;
He has given Ludwig a drawing of the older brother scolding or explaining something to him once. Ludwig rolled his eyes, but thanked Junior anyway. Either way, it is a birthday present after all. But when he did something with blacklight a few days later, and it accidentally hit that drawing, a message of “Thank you for teaching and help me understand the boring stuff” appeared. (Yes, Ludwig shed a small tear).
Thank you for listening to me ramble if you made it this far!
If you have any questions due to this post (or a previous one, or just in general), please feel free to let me know/ask me!
So...
Something a little different from what I have posted before, as this is no Koopaling stuff or the like (or Fnaf)
But, instead, an OC of me!
This is Ian.
And he's a vampire!
Little bit of backstory;
He was hunted by a lot of people that wanted to actually kill him, and a lot that wanted to experiment on him. But, he one day woke up in a new world, not knowing how he got there, and where he was.
But, a new world... Maybe this one is kinder to vampires?...
I wanted to introduce him, as I have plans to make more art of him.
But, don't worry, the Koopalings will still be drawn, too.
And if you have any questions, ask away! Even if I don't immediately have an answer, I like to come up with more stuff to really flesh him out. (This goes for any character).
How old is everyone?
Welp, this has been plaguing me for about a week or so... (All throughout the Koopa week, at least).
But, I think I have an idea for ages that I write them the most with. (The adult age for Draconic and MagiKoopa's (which the Koopalings are a mix of) is 27 in my AU)
Ludwig is 26 Iggy & Lemmy are 24 Roy is 22 Wendy is 16 Morton is 14 Larry is 12 Junior is 10
But, these are still a work in progress, as they "have" to meet a couple of requirements:
Ludwig, Iggy + Lemmy, and Roy are close in ages, because they went to school together (Iggy Koopa day 2024, Lemmy part)
I want Morton, Larry and Junior somewhat near in ages
But Morton has to be able to cook
And Larry has to be able to ride a horse
Yet I want Larry and Junior to be quite young when they’re found by Bowser
While Ludwig, Iggy, Lemmy and Roy have to be able to take on at least some form of responsibility at that timing (They lost their parents and the house from an accident (still deciding on the specifics of that) and had to live on the streets for the time between that and being found by Bowser)
Yet Ludwig is not quite an adult for around the ages I write them as
Plus, I want them to have been under Bowser’s care for some time by the time I write them as
I hate how deep this speaks to me...
Or the "I want to ask something, but WHAT?!"
Last day of Koopa week, Junior! Finally a one-shot that I didn't have to speedrun to get out in time-...
But, last day of Koopa week, it would be a nice one to have a one-shot set into the future, right? So, that's what's gonna happen here. A piece of story that's set into the future.
Bowser has retired (not dead) and given the crown to Junior. But, now that he's king, that means everyone is an adult. That must mean they wanna leave and go live on their own, right?... And it'll leave Junior all alone...
Second to last day of Koopa week 2024... Ludwig!
The oldest of the Koopalings... The first to become an adult... So, he deserves some more childish fun before he becomes one, right? Well, his siblings certsinly thought so, too!
So, they set up an old fashioned food fight for the family.
Koopa week 2024, day 7, our favourite small goofball, Lemmy!
I got the prompt "For Lemmy you could have him feeling sad because he’s not big as his siblings" from a friend over on tumblr (@milk-powrit) So, that's what y'all are gonna get for today!
(But, if you know my works, you know it'll have a happy ending).
Koopa week 2024, day 6, Roy!
Roy is know as the fighter of the family, so what's more fitting than him showing off some skills while sparring with his family?
Day 5 of Koopa week, which mean it's Iggy's time for the spotlight!
As my Iggy is more of the healer, I made a lot of little one-shots (for a far as "little" is with mine...). With each part focussing on Iggy helping/healing them. I will warn, some are worse than others, but I will try my best to let you know what the injury sustained is at the beginning notes of each new story. (If I didn't give a proper warning, please kindly let me know, so I can fix the warning for it).
It will also be mentioned when it takes place, and in what AU (Koopa or human)
Koopa week 2024, Day 4, Wendy
Unfortunately, I have not been able to come up with (and therefor make) a one-shot for her...
I tried to find ideas, but I came to the conclusion that I simply have not developed her in my AU('s) enough...
So, to try and help this, I'm just gonna post some ideas that I do have for her.
(Warning, these are random as hell-, and some might have been in other posts or stories).
She's a back sleeper, and wears a sleeping mask.
She's naturally right-handed, but due to her developing sowing skills, she's getting closer to becoming ambidextrous.
She loves to swim, and likes to have swimming competitions against Larry.
Wendy knows a lot of different dances, of which especially ballroom type ones (she took classes of these with Ludwig).
Her bracelets are actually those of her (bio) mom.
She has been wearing/playing in heels since she was pretty young. She always had to keep up with her brothers, and due to this combo of things, she can sprint in heels.
She also likes to do parkour. (Even if that's more of a secret.) But due to having done this one on heels since she was young, too... She's just pretty much unstoppable on heels.
Her bracelet "magic trick" is actually a spell that Ludwig and Iggy made for her for them.
She's actually the one who came up with (the base idea for) Iggy's hair style and Lemmy's hair colours.
Her human counterpart has a pet bunny. A white bunny named Cinnabun.
(Btw, if you have any questions about her (or any of the others), feel free to ask! Even if it's a miniscule or random thing, don't be afraid. Even the tiniest detail can help shape a character).
Koopa week 2024, day 3, Morton!
Morton is a big sweetheart (at least in my AU('s)) So, he deserves to show that he is, to pretty much any creature!
(Btw, little different from my other stories of these guys, but not really jarring, this one is placed in a Human AU).
Koopa week 2024, day 2! Larry's day!
(My) Larry is often accociated with games and sports, so I decided to sort of combine this, into a physical game. Hide and seek, combined with tag! You have to hide, but when you get found, the finder/tagger has to tag you first. Which means that you can hide, like, 3 times, and still be a hider afterwards.
The first day of Koopa week 2024...
A friend of mine on here ( @milk-powrit ) requested I make a one-shot starring/centred around the Koopa of that day, and Bowser is the first!
This is honestly just Bowser getting to talk about his kids, and how he loves them, and what they do.
For each day of the koopa week you could do a story that centers that specific character!
And that's what I'm gonna do!
(Or at least try to-, in connection with how much time I have...)
I wanna go do something with this this year. Sooo...
Does anyone have a suggestion/idea of what I could do for it? (I can't promise anything, but I need some ideas).
With Koopa Week being near, I decided to make a calendar for people who may need it and/or want to participate!
The last sunset...
For the last sea day, and full day overall, Ludwig, Iggy, Lemmy, and Larry went to see the last sunset we'll get from this cruise.
(And played a bit with with it in photos 2, 3, and 4)
The last group pictures on the ship...
(Including some other plushie friends that were there for the ride as well-. The two darker brown bears are bought during the cruise).
The final info of the cruise and its journey...
Bonus;
And a totally inconspicuous picture of some books/the small library of the ship...
For the last (port) day of this cruise, Lemmy and Larry joined the trip off of the ship, and into Waterford.
Today, we had to tender to get to the shore, so I suppose Lemmy and Larry went on two trips on a ship...
We went into the crystal museum, and found a couple of nice works, including a helmet for Roy and Larry ;) (Please don't boys... That thing will shatter very quickly and hurt you badly...)
And furthermore, we kinda strolled through the town. And eventually stumbled upon a viking ship.
Ludwig and Iggy were the ones to join the (small) trip into Cobh, Ireland. We went to the heritage museum.
It was the main point for a lot of ships to travel from, (Including the Titanic), so that was what the museum was mostly about.
Ludwig really wanted to join for the history lesson, and Iggy just tagged along because the other two didn't want to.
(This cruise only goes to 2 places in Ireland, so they get to go off of the ship in duos, so that they all have been in Ireland once.)
Ludwig and Larry were the lucky ones to join the trip into Reykajavík.
It's the last day in Iceland, so they got to get off of the ship together, so all four of them got off and into Iceland once.
They joined the trip to a museum about the northern lights.
(My Ludwig loves the sky and the stuff that belongs with it, so it was a perfect fit).
Lemmy was the lucky Koopaling to join the trip into Ísafjörður.
He joined to see the "floating pedestrian crossing". But we coincidentally found a rainbow path, which I find a good fit for Lemmy (being all those bright colours himself).
(And the things but without Lemmy, so that they're in focus).
