KOOPALING AMIIBOS WHEN?????????

sincerely, the average iggy koopa enjoyer

I just got these little guys for my birthday!

I wanted Iggy the most, but my parents went, "Yeah, but you can't get just one, then he'll be lonely," so they got me 3 more!

What other headcanons do you have for the koopaling

(Warning, you might have doomed yourself... But I really, really like the ask! I will never pass up the oppertunity to gush/share about my Koopalings).

My Koopalings are all biologically related, and all share the same mom and dad. (Junior of course doesn't. He is Bowsers bio son, while the others are adopted. But the other seven are biological siblings).

That usually sparks the question "But, why do they look so different then?"

Well...

Ludwig and Morton have a condition whereby their colours are different than they were originally supposed to be. (Melanism is a condition where an individual of a species produces more melanin (dark pigment) than is normal for the species).

Ludwig was supposed to be the same light blue as Larry, but due to being partially melanistic, he became a dark blue instead. (This also goes for Ludwigs eyes, which are dark blue instead of the light blue that practically all of his other siblings have).

Morton is pretty much fully melanistic, which is why he is completely white/black/brown. His pigment is devoid of all other colours. (Similar to Ludwig, Morton’s eyes are brown instead of light blue).

Lemmy simply has his hair dyed. He actually has the bright green colour hair that Iggy has.

(These go for both my Koopas as well as the humans. But with the human forms, the dark green on the shaven part of Larry’s hair is also actually just hair dye).

Where Ludwig and Morton have a medical condition that doesn't really affect their daily lives, Iggy and Roy unfortunately aren’t as lucky...

Iggy has epilepsy. He can sometimes have seizures, and when he does, he’s pretty much “out of the playing field” for a few days. He can do stuff the next day… But don’t count on it being a lot. (Seizures, or at least mine, which Iggy’s are like, hurt like hell for your muscles, and leave you tired and even lesser focussed than usual, for a good couple of days afterwards). For someone as naturally energetic as Iggy, this sucks ass. Luckily, he can tinker on some small things again the next day. Just not big things that he really need his focus for.

Roy’s sunglasses aren’t just for show. He actually needs them to see well. His eyes are over sensitive to light, so he needs his sunglasses to actually comfortably see shit, without having to constantly squint his eyes.

Extra stuff I can't find a nice flow to, but want to share-.

Iggy loves to bake. His dad, grandpa, and older brother eventually became fed up with his exploding science projects, that they had to find him something else. (Of course the others eventually got problems with it, too, but Bowser, Kamek, and Ludwig were the most vocal ones.)

Morton eventually suggested cooking to his big brother, which Iggy did try... But it ended up being more frustrating than fun for him.

(Cooking was a bit too free for his liking).

Eventually Larry wanted to try and bake muffins when he found a recipe for them which he thought sounded yummy. Iggy was the only one with no other duties that day, and was willing to help his little brother. This made him realize that baking was the thing that satisfied his need/want that his science projects gave him, but this was much safer. (Of course, shit can burn. But a charred cake is much better than an explosion).

He bakes every once in a while. He does it on his own just as often as with one of his siblings. The one that he bakes with significantly more than the others, is Larry.

(This is shown in one of my one-shots over on Archive Of Our Own, where Iggy bakes, with the help of Larry, and a bit of help from Junior).

[I will make another post with another thing about my Koopalings, but lets not make this one too big...]

If anyone has more specific questions about my Koopalings (all 7 + Junior in this case), don't be afraid to ask!

(Shoulder) Piggy back rides

(Are those still called piggy backs? Genuine question-)

The prince and heir to the throne of course has to be carried. Their dad insisted that only one of his siblings could do that for him though.

Luckily for Junior, Morton was willing to take that job.

Morton is the gentle giant for my universe, he just wants to help his siblings any way that he can. Plus, he's strong. So why would he not carry Junior around if he asks for it?

Now, we have seen that Lemmy cannot lift Iggy. But the other way around? That goes surprisingly well.

Maybe he should not block his brothers view though...

the twins luckily both have very good balance, so nothing bad happened here.

Also, shameless self-promition for my stories,

this is very much a human version of a small bit at the end of one of my stories about these guys. (In the stories they're Koopa's though).

Gift for @scrubbynicole

A little over a week ago (as of posting this), my friend Nicole made a my little pony version of Ludwig (as a pony, named Music Fang). He's been galloping in my head ever since then, so it was time for him to pay some rent.

I decided to do that by drawing him. So, I made a drawing of him, recieving headpats from my human Larry.

I found my Larry the best fit, as he likes horses (and pony's) and the fact that (in my AU at least) Ludwig is his closest and favourite sibling.

I think it turned out pretty well. (It's also one of the first drawing I made with a base of my own, too).

But, this wouldn't have been possible without Nicole in the first place, so please go give them some love! They're amazing, much like their art.

O, and here's the link to the original post of Music Fang-

🔹they made his ass turn into a pony HELL NAH!!! one of my friends from insta wanted me to draw him as an mlp character, so why not :•]

Are your pride headcanons in order of oldest to youngest?

Yeah, they are.

In my AU the oldest to youngest is:

Ludwig, Iggy & Lemmy, Roy, Wendy, Morton, Larry, Junior.

(Iggy and Lemmy are twins, but Iggy broke the egg + Lemmy woke a few minutes to an hour later, which is why Iggy is the 2nd oldest, and Lemmy 3rd)
