(Koopa) Iggy And Lemmy Hug

(Koopa) Iggy and Lemmy hug

I decided to give it a try to draw the Koopalings as true Koopa's for once.

So I drew my favourite (Iggy) and his favourite brother- (Lemmy)

This drawing is based off of a moment from one of my stories, and in that part, they are not wearing their shells at that moment, so that's why they don't in this drawing either.

This is the story I am talking about btw-

So, I finally finished the other 4 Koopalings! (Well, technically 3 + Junior, but I often call them 8 Koopalings to keep it easy)

But, I present to you

Roy Koopa

(His shoes/boots are a sort of work in progress, since I'm not sure if I want to keep em like this, but I couldn't find/think of anything better for him.)

Roy is the strong and tough one. I feel like he would love to show off his muscles, and what better way to do so by plainly displaying them? The camouflage printed pants fitted his brash and rough personality. We cannot forget that Roy is also amongst the coolest of the crew, for which I used the pattern on his shoes. Flames, yet in more of his pink and purple colouring scheme.

Wendy Koopa

Wendy is the fashionista, unfortunately I am not, so I hope I worked out well enough. (It's also partly why I had trouble coming up with clothing ideas for her).

First and foremost, I gave her hair. The games really did her dirty by not giving her any. I thought her bow would fit perfectly for her to use it to set her hair in a ponytail. Of course, we couldn't forget her bracelets, necklace and heels either. I eventually went with giving her a shirt with bell sleeves, and an airy skirt to go with it. (And a gold belt for over its overflow).

Morton Koopa

Morton is the only one in much darker colouring than his siblings, so my headcanon is that he has some form of Melanism (Albinism is the lack of melanin to give colours, turning it white, he has the opposite, as Melanism is the overabundance of this, turning it black). Due to having some form of Melanism, he has 'reverse' Vitiligo.

I remembered his as a boss of Dessert land, assigning his the colour yellow to work with. He also wears sandals because of this. But to also still keep with his original black white colour scheme (+ a little bit of brown), it's where the colouring of his shirt comes in.

(Bowser) Junior Koopa

The youngest and one of the most wild ones of the group. I feel like he would not have the patience to tie his shoes, so his dad got him velcro strap shoes. Of course his famous Bandana around his neck could not be forgotten. The rest of his clothes are inspired by what I often see small(er) kids wearing. Just some loose-ish clothes, of course in Juniors colours.

Like said in my other/first half of posting my human form for these kids, this is placed in order of oldest to youngest. It's just that Larry is supposed to be in between Morton and Junior. But due to already having been revealed in the other part, he isn't shown here.

Talking about the other part, I have decided to change Ludwig's eye colour. He has the same brown grayish eyes as Morton on that drawing, but I will be drawing him with Dark blue eyes from now on. (Due to my now headcanon, which is an extension of Mortons, is that Ludwig kinda has Melanism too. He was supposed to be Larry's blue, but due to this condition, he became a much darker shade of blue).

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!

My Koopalings pride headcanons

Happy Pride guys!

To celebrate pride, I decided to share my pride headcanons for my Koopalings. (I will only go into the sexuality part if I have vibes for it, otherwise it's romantic).

Ludwig; Gay and Ace (he likes guys, but he just doesn't see the appeal in sex).

Iggy; Bi/Pan. Perhaps a bit leaning towards guys, but if it's a girl that he likes, he certainly won't mind. It's about mind and chemistry, not the gender. Also Demi. He really needs/wants to know the person first, before he starts to really fall in love.

Lemmy; Pan. Just… Look at that hair. I couldn't give him anything else than that… (Besides. He just feels like the one to honestly not care about that shit.)

Roy; Bi. Both guys and girls are good. One side has positives that the other gender doesn't have, but that exact same thing is true in reverse.

Wendy; Still deciding if I want her to be a lesbian or be hetero cause she didn't have as clear of a vibe as the others did. Only thing I do know about my Wendy, is that she would fall head over heals pretty fast.

Morton; Demi. He only gets the feeling if he already knows the person. He thinks he is "capable" of feeling romantic feelings, he just hasn't had them yet. (He uses the word "capable" for feelings for romantic stuff, because Ludwig says that he's pretty much "incapable" of liking the idea of sex.) Also, Pan, cause he wouldn't mind the gender though. Much like his older brothers Iggy and Lemmy, whatever happens, happens.

Larry; Guys. Just, guys. (Aka gay.) He never really understood the appeal of girls whenever a guy talks about them. However… when he overheard, (or sometimes even joined,) the girls and their talk about boys… Now that was stuff he was interested in.

Junior; Hetero. Gladly wears rainbows to support his sibling/family though.

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

sincerely, the average iggy koopa enjoyer

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)
