Where does the name for the City of London come from? (History) (London)
Article by @warrenwoodhouse #warrenwoodhouse
During the Viking Expansion of the 9th Century, London was called Lunden. Before the 9th Century, the Romans called it Londinium and before that they called it Trinovantum. Before the Roman Conquest of the island of Britaain, the Gauls called it Kaer Llundain, after its founder, King Lud of Heli. Lud comes from Welsh descendants. The name Kaer Llundain in old Welsh means Fort Lud of the River.

In the story of England this layering of culture, language and custom on to much older, and often unseen, identities will be a recurring theme in our account: part of the mysterious crystallization which shapes the life of every community over time.

Everytime I forget something, all my brain says is "he has forgotten the face of his father"
1. I am, most of the time, not a he (but occasionally it feels nice)
2. For months I forgot what that quote was from while still quoting it
3. I remembered where the quote was from while looking at my actual father

uh oh, more insane theories from the local Lucatiel Simp
Y'all know the drill by now.
So relating to my last post, the second theory I have concerning the Darklurker is that it is the last fragment of Manus' being, similar to the queens within the game.
First, an explanation of the queens within ds2 in case you're one of those poor fucks who follows me but doesn't play ds2:
Within Dark Souls, one of the most important entities lorewise is Manus, the Father of the Abyss. His soul, contrary to those of the other Lords, was dark, borne from the shadows that linger on the edge of a fire's light (in my opinion. He did possess the Dark Soul, but it's not really specified what made it different, apart from its name and apparent power).
However, Manus wasn't manus when he found it. He was the Furtive Pygmy, and actually split the Dark Soul into fragments prior to his first death, which led to the creation of humankind.
Later on, people from Oolacile, a land of Golden Sorcery that (ironically) manipulated light, dug his corpse up and at the behest of the Darkstalker Kaathe (one of the Abyssal serpents who manipulate the world from shadow) performed terrible and cruel experiments upon it.
These experiments, coupled with the theft of the Pygmy's amulet, drove its lingering soul mad, causing the birth of Manus and the complete devastation of Oolacile, and the creation of the place that would become known as the Abyss.
The main character of Dark Souls 1, the Chosen Undead, eventually destroys Manus, and that's the end. Or so we thought.
As it turns out, parts of manus persisted within the Abyss, emerging thousands of years later as four (or five, if you think Mytha is one) women, each borne from one of his Negative emotions. Alsanna from his Fears, Elana from his Wrath, Nashandra from his Want, and while Nadalia isn't specified, a lot of people think she is his Loneliness.
Now, something you may have noticed is that none of these are particularly good things, which makes sense. The birth of Manus was not a happy event, and I think that most goodness was driven from his Soul upon his birth.
Most.
My main theory for the Darklurker (took long enough, eh?) is that it is the virtues of Manus. Those better aspects of him that were nearly lost during the transformation into the progenitor of the boundless dark within men. The Darklurker's lack of a voice at all, its ability to wield magic, and its pseudo-angelic appearance reminds me of a fallen angel, which is notably different from the appearance of the Abyssal Daughters. They, for the most part, resemble darker beings such as Demons, Grim Reapers, or horribly twisted human forms. The otherwordly appearance of the Darklurker makes me feel like its nature is much less grounded, and more abstract. Hence, the virtues of Manus.
anyway sorry for the rambling, I just realized i have a semi-captive audience. Love y'all moots.

centaurworld is unfortunately not very good at all but hey if you wanted a faceclaim for liliana for your drawings that isn't the one official art of her side profile or a teeny tiny drawing of her mini in the opening, the mystery woman makes for a good option

It's even got power stancing!
remember when everyone was like "ughhh... dark souls 2 even re-used the ornstein as a boss... and you have to fight the dragonrider TWICE... what a bad game"
and then elden ring was like "we're even recycling plot bosses like godfrey and astel" and everyone went "holy shit this is the best game ever released"
idk maybe dark souls 2 actually is either the best souls game or elden ring is just as bad as dark souls 2 take a side already
#that said i think what everyone hates about ds2 is the level design#looking at you no man's wharf/gutter/shrine of Amana#also the mirror knight run up pre sotfs and the dlc optional bosses (smelter demon 2/lud&zallen/ser alonne)#and the sunken King gank squad#just#it feels designed to wear you down in a way that's interesting in a ludonarrative Sense but kind of sucks to try to play

How is everybody doing?!
(And, if they know this is an ask blog for the time being, how do they all feel about it?)
Thank you for asking! (This is the first ask on this blog EVER!)
First of all, no, they do not know abt the askbox thing. Let's pretend a tiny Child of Sardior is currently spying on them to report the best answers possible ;P
Now let's talk about the Royal Koopa Family! They are doing well!
Currently, they are on a vacantion on Isle Delfino! King Bowser decided it was the right time for a break - considering it was getting too hot even on his Dark Lands - and literally grabbed his children, Kamek and a bunch of loyal personal guards and went to the Isle. They are currently staying at Bowser's private Hotel, Sunshine Resort, located on Sirena Beach - the Hotels and Resorts area of the island.
Except made for the troop of guards, that are currently "at work", everybody is relaxing or trying to do so.
Bowser first. No royal burocracy, no responsabilities for a while - he left a council of his most loyal generals and counselors at his main castle - and he can finally chill under the beach umbrella reading the News, eating out in fancy restaurants all around Delfino and sleepng sweet dreams without thinking about the Human Plumbers or conquest plans and so on for a while. To be sure none will disturb his weeks off, he decided to rent a whole piece of beach only for his family. Is it even legal? The King of the Koopa doesn't care.
Then we have Kamek, who is unfortunately the one that can't really relax for real: being one of the main caretaker of the little Prince Bowser Jr. - but also of the others, even if the older ones are actively trying to ignore this fact - he needs to keep an eye on the small Dragon-Turtle even when at the beach or visiting the various cities. Still, our old Magikoopa is still grateful to be able to sleep 8-hours with the air-conditioning of the Resort.
Now, the kids! (Ludwig and Roy would eat me alive for calling them "kids")
Ludwig is chilling. Like, he decided that "chilling" would be his whole purpose of this vacantion. Being normally nervous and easily irritated at the castle and around his siblings, this time our young multifaceted artist is imposing upon himself to only do things he feels to, and not, like always, all the tasks that he MUST do. He's basically spending these days under the umbrella, talking to his gf on his phone, going out at night with Wendy and Roy when they want to visit the local markets near the beach, playing his favorite violin in his room when outside is too hot and so on. Chillin', yknow?
Lemmy, on the other hand, is enjoying his staying and suffering at the same time for the extreme humid temperature. Probably at the main castle the temperature was way hotter, but Lemmy can't really stand humidity, and summer season in general. But he likes to go swimming, playing pranks on tourists with Iggy and trying every type of ice creams he can find - and Larry and Morton will happily help him finish the ones his belly can't take anymore, since Lemmy tends to buy way more food than he can actually eat. He also loves the fancy restaurants Bowser is taking them every two days, especially since he only packed cool and elegan outfits in his bag, maybe trying to forget about how hot it was. Oh, and he also LOVES Pinna Park, especially the Yoshi Go-Round and the Rollercoaster, and has started to bring there Junior with him to have an official excuse to ride the rides for kids.
Roy brought his motorbike with him, even just to complete his "bad boy appearance". He's actually the one driving his siblings around the Isle when they don't feel to take the public transports - busses are REALLY crowded in this time of the year and... some of the royal brats feel too royal and "superior" to take them anyway, right Lud and Wendy? Except for that, he's mostly competing with Wendy in swimming races, going around at night to find some disco open to teens, and collecting shades at the various markets for his evergrowing sunglasses collection. And he's the one with Morton that is suffering less for the heat, due his constitution and the fact that he's used to the desert heat.
Iggy feels at home with all this humidity filling the hair, but the aggressive reflection from the sun forced him to work on a special shades-version of his already customized spectacles before embargin on the conquest of this vacantion. He also made them star shaped because *fancy*. He also tried to cover himself with all the garlands of flowers he could find at the markets in their first day, and instantly bought the biggest hat he saw for sale. He has his own idea of fancy. His chilling-and-pranking times alternate with researches on the local flora and fauna - if Iggy disappears during the afternoon, don't worry, he probably went studying fishes and birds and monsters and trees and flowers only found on the Isle Delfino. He also brought his pet Charlie the Chain-Chomp with him, to the *delight* of the other guests of the Sunshine Resort.
Wendy is living her best life. She loves going on vacantions and she especially loves to go shopping on vacantions. Her favorite places are the markets all around the seaside cities along with the world-famous Coconut Mall, and she's already ordering enough summer clothes and new forniture to renovate and redecorate her own bedroom at Bowser's Castle. But she's a very good swimmer and loves the sea, and she's very excited to go swimming in something that is not a super hot pool inside the castle or at the ash-gray beaches and tumultuous sea of the Dark Lands. She's also updating her followers on Koopagram almost everyday, especially is she finds something pretty or cool to take a photo with - a beautiful monument, a fancy ice cream, an unsuspecting well-dressed tourist...
Morton is quite content for the break. Even if his older siblings are taking a bit of advantage of him - for example, always asking him to carry their luggage - he doesn't really mind. He knows he's going to spend these weeks with Larry and Junior mostly, helping Kamek keeping an eye on them on one hand and having fun with them on the other hand - eating at the weirdest local restaurants and trying the most-gigantic ice creams on the Isle. He also follows Lemmy and Jr. at the Pinna Park time to time, not because he's too interested in the rides but mostly 'cause they need a tall sibling that looks big enough to let them ride the most dangerous rides without questions by the staff. When he's not spending time with the younger (or shorter) siblings, he go swimming with Roy and Wendy or keep company to Iggy in his scientific researches - and while the green-shelled brother takes photos, samples and notes, Morton has started collecting the most perfectly shaped, beautifully colored and shiny rocks he can find, for his own pleasure and to show Junior, too.
Larry here! Larry is spending his mornings creating the best sandcastles he ever made, and turning them into magical glass/crystal sculptures with his azure breath. Since he found out he could try this out he insisted for months to go to Isle Delfino on vacantion, winning over Lord Bowser at the end with great displeasure of Lemmy, who wanted to visit a colder place or at least going hiking around the tallest mountains they could find. When at the beach, after creating a whole crystal city with Jr., the light-blue Royal Koopa posts photos of his creations on Koopagram - he recently was allowed to create an account, under the name of Darkdiscokoopaxx, even if he only has 3 followers at the moment, two of wich are his siblings and one is Princess Peach after he spammed her tons of DMs asking for her official page's follow. Then he goes swimming, always bringing with him his inflatable donut not because he can't swim - he's actually a decent swimmer - but because he can use it as a chair as soon he's too tired to move his arms. Larry is also enjoying the sort-of-freedom Bowser gives him and his siblings dring the afternoon, and is trying out all the junk food and weird soda he can find, along with his brother Morton.
In the end, Bowser Junior is a kid in vacantion being a kid in vacantion. It's not easy to always act as the Prince of the Koopas and the official Heir to the Dark Lands throne, you know? He's enjoying playing with the sand, trying to learn how to swim properly without water wings - he *can* sort of swim already, but... he feels much safer with them, especially when in open sea and not in a pool - eating cookies under the beach umbrella, painting on the beach during sunset like a Real ArtistTM (jokes aside, he's quite good for his age!), convincing his dad to buy him toys and souvenirs, eating lot of chips with Larry when Kamek isn't watching, riding the backseat of Roy's motorbike too when Kamek isn't watching again, and riding rides too dangerous for the average kid of his age - but not for a Dragon-Turtle, to be honest - when neither Kamek or Bowser are watching. He's enjoying his staying a lot! Oh, especially when, at the end of their second week of vacantion, he bumped into Princess Toadstool herself, with her guards and her friends. But this is another story.

Some headcanons and stuff :>
Okay, first i just wanted to say this is in my au, and if you don't agree with these headcanons, that's completely fine, just don't harass me over them. I respect your opinion, so please respect mine <3 This is also a long desc so I'll put it under the cut..
And yes this isn't really "lore" I just wanted to put this out there as a ref sheet (kinda XD)
Anyways, just some extra info explaining things..
Yes, you read that right, the koopalings are his biological children, I think it's cute, ok? (yes that would also mean that Ludwig would be the king but i dont think i'll get that far in my au...)
Bowser and Clawdia we're kinda pressured into having so many kids and some at such a young age and one day it just got too much for Clawdia and she left... she never really got to know Lemmy and Junior... ( I might do more on their story when I design her, but idk when that will be) That's all I've got for now..
Here's some additional stuff about their age and sexuality...
You'll notice they are all pretty close in age, since Bowser and Clawdia thought it would be easier for them to get along and also what I mentioned above..
Identities
Junior literally does NOT care, lol, he thinks love is disgusting.
Lemmy has been questioning whether he's gay or not but everyone sees it except himself.
Iggy is genderfluid, but their siblings usually just call them he/him, since it's what they were used to before they came out! , they obviously don't mind tho!
Morton is still questioning his identity, and that's completely fine, he's in no rush to find out.
Wendy, oh my gosh, Wendy, there's a LOT to say about you XD! She's always been into girls (even my oc, oop-) but she's too scared to come out as Bowser is a little more strict with her since she's his "precious princess",everyone is pretty much oblivious anyway, except Lud, he can sense something...
Kamek has been straight his whole life and claims he's too old for this "gay nonsense" he still supports everyone tho :>
Making Hazel bisexual just felt right to me (and to cause drama with my friend lol, nothing serious)
The rest of 'em I can't really explain they just gimme those vibes y'know?
I think that's about it!! If you read all this, thank you so much, and I hope I explained everything fine (also au/hazel lore stuff should be coming soon I'm almost done with them! 🫶
#super mario#koopalings#bowser koopa#bowser jr#kamek koopa#iggy koopa#my au#my art#carlzy rambling hopelessly#lgbtqia#those flags took me so long... yes i couldve just gotten images but it didnt feel right...#ik for a fact i made mistakes in this.. gimme a break man its like almost midnight rn XD#hazel tag

Me: *reading the headcanon voice ask* My intrusive thoughts mind: We have to recreate Kalymir in the WWE 2K22 game showing off and mocking in the ring. Me: Haha, What? My intrusive thoughts mind: Make Cero the referee, he is good with rules and the booming voice will help. Me: *wheeze* I don't think he will be up to- My intrusive thoughts mind: But don't make Zizz the commentator, everyone will fall asleep... or him, don't know which one will be first.
(I swear I'm not crazy, It's just random scenes popping up in my head without warning)
Wrestlemania AU (I blame you for this)
You know damn right Cero's too busy doing his fantastical heel speech to see a single punch incoming and gets destroyed immediately.
Livius is the most irritating little shit in the ring. He tries to mirror the opponent's style during fights. And when that doesn't work, he just loops around them, snaps his limbs like whips. Cries like a bitch when he's slapped.
Kalymir is living his best fucking life, he's never been so happy. He's probably the pet wrestler of that whole franchise. The John Cena of demons I guess.
Vorticia fights on the men's league because she's so fucking massive it hardly matters what gender she's off against. Has to puke the losers back out because voring is not a permitted finisher move.
Rinx has a fit so big and flashy that it actually becomes advantageous during fighting, as it blinds his opponents. He has attempted to steal the championship title belts several times instead of tackling his opponents.
Vesper is often escorted out of the ring because he keeps trying to suck and fuck competition for funsies. He doesn't even make efforts to win sometimes. Oh nooo, I fell on all fours *wiggles ass*~~
Zizz is the wrestler equivalent of "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing".
Rei is the referee, you know he is. The problem is he sometimes gets too enthusiastic and joins the fights.
Ludwig, Obie and Mervin are commenting all the matches. Lud has to be held down sometimes because he gets wrath demon zoomies and starts barking into the microphone, Mervin just insults everyone's techniques for no reason and Obie puts on different metal tracks for each fight, sometimes you can hear him chewing.
Each of the icons' main imps are in the audience probably picking fights with each other, or desperately wishing their Kings slip and die mid-fight. Santi's jerking someone off in the audience, not even paying that much attention unless Vesper's in the ring.
Clergy staff in general gets to come watch this shitshow, participate sometimes. Belo has to be held back or he will throw himself in the ring and die in a blaze of glory.
#Cero oc#Vorticia oc#Vesper oc#Zizz oc#Rinx oc#Livius oc#Kalymir oc#Rei oc#Ludwig oc#Mervin oc#Obie oc#general tce

GerEng headcanon(s): Has Arthur tried learning German from Ludwig before?
I mean dude has had German kings at least once. So I'd imagine he was familiar with the language before getting with Lud. Though he might have tried brushing up on it for Lud and try to surprise him.

Kamek/Bowser/Ludwig/Lemmy/Roy/Iggy/Wendy/Morton/Larry/Bowser Jr.
Headcanon under cut
General info:
Full Name: King Ludwig Von Koopa I
Gender: Cis Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Illnesses: Depression, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and Maladaptive Daydreaming
Birthday: Dec 16th 2009
Other info:
Ludwig is the oldest of the Koopalings. The other Koopalings typically call Ludwig, Lud, or Luddy (Iggy will take it one step further and call him Luddy-Wig). Ludwig's favorite type of music is Classical (he will take some Jazz and Country music, he also likes Queen). Ludwig is the most introverted of his family. Ludwig has a very sharp memory, he remembers things from a few days after he has hatched (it might not be the best but he can still remember things from that point of time). Ludwig can be super protective over people he cares about but it us very hard to get into that soft spot in Ludwig's heart (Bowser would've probably been the first to actually get really close to Ludwig). Ludwig is a little bit of a tyrant (but better than Bowser) he did end up killing the king of CloudLand so he could take over that throne (probably out of boredom or not wanting to be around his siblings 24/7). Ludwig is the most magically experienced of the Koopalings and most powerful out of them magically, because of this he enjoys hanging out with Kamek more than the other Koopalings do. Ludwig is an insomniac (not as much as Iggy though) and does prefer night rather than day. Ludwig typically is calm but if he gets irritated he gets as mad as Bowser does when Mario saves Peach (which is pretty mad). He will do everything in his power to make his opinion the best one even if it's very wrong or a bad opinion (Ludwig has caused drama and fights in his family because of this [Iggy or Roy are usually the ones to disagree with Ludwig]).
And that's all for Ludwig today!
