Koopalings Sleeping Positions

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.

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.

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^

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 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 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...)
