I Hate How Deep This Speaks To Me...

I hate how deep this speaks to me...

Or the "I want to ask something, but WHAT?!"

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.)

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...)

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).

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.

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.
