LOOOOOOOOOOOK-!!!
finally came around to making doodles of the turtle brats heeheehee
this took such a long time to perfect but very much worth it!
if you asked me who my favorite koopaling is, it’s a very tight tie between Lemmy and Ludwig. I really love Iggy too.
I’ll be sure to draw them a little more often!
Alrighty, the first one we got here is topper!
Topper is the eldest of the broodals and also the shortest for no particular reason, He's also extremely paranoid and jumpy, very easy to startle, and very over protective of his siblings, and not one to back away from a fight. He has extremely good reflexes and can dodge just about anything, which makes it hard to hit him in combat. And he very rarely let's his guard down, also he is often sceptical of new people, and very aggressive towards them, (*(will not let his siblings near anyone he doesn't know, or generally feels is a threat)*) throws a lot of empty threats, and rarely goes through with them, but will absolutely bite you if you get too close, no warning either, just randomly bites you when you get withing 7 feet of him or his siblings, moral of the story don't invade his giant personal bubble unless you want to get beaten to a pulp and lose all your limbs, but depending on the occasion he could just scurry away, it's a gamble of life and death, but if he doesn't notice you somehow and you touch him, he's gonna have a fucking panic attack and he'll be screaming for the next seven hours, anyways! I think I stuck too long on that part- but anyways he's not very jumpy in the morning, he's too tired and most likely wouldn't notice if you punched him in the face multiple times in a row, he just doesn't process anything when he wakes up, so if your gonna hug him, or if you wanna beat him up for some reason, you should do it in the morning...... Yeah that's all I could come up with I know it's crappy, have a good day..... Pretty sure I contradicted myself multiple times in that paragraph-
Sexuality: ???????
Age: 21
Drink: Dr. Pepper
Music: running on a treadmill by: oingo boingo
He/him
OH! I forgot to announce, (incase you didn't already know) the broodals are now available for asks! So send in the questions, And they'll surely be ready to answer!
Just figuring out they're design's
:open photo for better viewing:
I decided to draw Wendy since she's the only female koopaling and I think I like how she turned out it mostly stays with the original design just with a few tweeks
I decided to experiment with a lil bit of a chunkier more muscular look for the koopa frame so I drew Roy since he fit the look and I think I like it but I'm still not sure.
tell me someone else sees them the same way........
I HAVE TO KNOW. Do the koopalings purr?? Y'know, like cats? That would be so cute if so!
YES! they do in fact purr like cats they're basically the reptile version of cats... Except they're mostly like turtles and lizards when it comes to looks but if you point out that they're purring they'll probably be embarrassed and some of them will most likely deny it like Roy and Ludwig.
Ps: here's a drawing of Ludwig and Lemmy as cats because why not!
Sorry if this took too long! Im not usually on my phone during the day✨

(I know how you feel I haven't got any asks either my blogs dying T-T)
Is any of the koopalings and broodals in relationships? If so with who? And the ones who aren't, would they like to be in one right now)/actively seeking one!
:)
Yup! Quite a few actually, a few of which have already been seen once or twice on the blog, and a few which haven't been mentioned at all!

I've been thinking a lot about Euclydian biology lately, specifically in regards to pigmentation thanks to this awesome ask I got on a side blog, and wanted to illustrate some of the ideas I had. Super quick lazy sketches but hey, maybe some of you will dig this! Nerdy stuff under the cut, will make a bit more sense if you read the aforementioned post
Euclydians have a genetic predisposition towards a "resting" color (in Bill's case, yellow). The opposite of this state (full "flexing" of chromatophore-controlling muscles) is also predispositioned, which is what's seen in the threat display. This rapidly stimulates the individual's metabolism and gets their blood really pumping in preparation for conflict, but is also somewhat costly in terms of energy, so is typically only flashed rather than maintained as Bill does it
"Teeth-peeking" is the cute zoology term I came up with for when a Euclydian displays a couple teeth overtop their eye without fully switching into mouth-function, usually as a threat but sometimes a sort of stim when they're hungry
Communicative flashing ("Chromatic") has a few languages. The most primitive is Simplified Emotive which is a quick display of mood, while the most modern is Traditional Chromatic, wherein patterns of color serve as words. Words in Traditional Chromatic are not ciphers like they are in TBoB and there aren't always direct translations into English
There are a couple accepted ways for a naturally colorful Euclydian to signal an emotion or "syllable" that matches their color, typically either by a subtler change in value along the edges or by changing everything BUT the edges
It's probably worth noting that Chromatic of any variant is considered a secondary, uncommon language in modern Euclydian society. It's simply more efficient and easier for most to speak, though I think Simplified Emotive probably stems from the natural threat display and so it's more intuitive. It's not unheard of for someone's edges to flash "angry/surprised" (◼) for a second if you bump into them on the sidewalk
A memetic blush is a learned behaviour in which individuals appear to fluster by a reddish shift in color along the face, edges and vertices. This might just be something Bill (or hypothetically other Euclydians who come into contact with humans) does I'm not sure yet but it's cute so
Given the body needs to conserve more energy when fighting illness, it's not uncommon for chromatophore muscles to weaken or spasm in order to lessen metabolic strain, giving the individual a patchy look that often reveals the naturally white skin below the chromatophore layer
When rigor mortis occurs in a dead Euclydian, all the minute muscles in control of chromatophore dilation contract all at once, rendering the entire body white. Because of this, white is considered a bit of a grim color in Euclydian culture; you know emos are wearing all-white instead of all-black
Conversely, a perfect, non-tinted grey is a regal shade because it's seen as a sign of fitness and strength. Maintaining a neutral grey requires very precise control over one's chromatophores to get the balance right and hold it there
Euclydians are capable of training the muscles that control their chromatophores like any other, and as a result can change their resting color with enough discipline! They can also use this technique to give themselves markings. Haven't decided the cultural implications of this entirely, but I think the idea of someone training themselves to match their threat display so nobody can tell when they're angry, for example, is a cool idea. Possibilities!
what was your favorite fancy koopaling i did
I'm gonna say either Larry or Iggy, I like the lil Leafy detailing on Iggs collar and Larry is absolutely ROCKING that striped suit n' vest! :]
