How Old Is Everyone?

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

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).

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).

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.

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).

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.
