I wish, I wish there were any texts left about what the Karaks and Verdanians ate but wouldn't you know! The Citadel didn't bother to preserve any of them. No recipes, no grocery lists, no nothing... So unfortunately I have nothing to base opinions on.
Skarr cuisine though! Heavy on the carbs and protein and lots of open fire cooking, definitely my style. I'm a big fan of herb-stuffed roasted Caranid ; it's a lot tender and juicier than you'd expect.
And DO NOTA SAY "hear me out" she is married.(or maybe not idk..)
Heheheh... The White Lady of Hallownest, sweet Kratt has heard of her. An older being but gracefully aged. Lovely twisting roots and lovelier curves. She deserves someone who would treat her right (like me) instead of that pathetic bug who calls himself a """king""".
Do you have any general school-related head canons?
Apparently! Probably not what you're thinking though since most of the Koopalings didn't go to traditional school
Ludwig was definitely homeschooled as a kid and mostly was taught inside the castle once he and the rest were incorporated into Bowser's family, he did go to a little private schooling and has some one-on-one lessons with Kamek though, he's also definitely been and IS in rigorous army training.
Iggy+Lemmy's bio-parents didn't have the money to get both of them in school and since Lemmy was premature they ended up only sending Iggy to a public elementary, he didn't get any further traditional education beyond that. Nowadays Iggy tends to research on his own rather than enrolling in any course or schooling aside from troop training, he is secretly in a few clubs though, and he often visits the castle archives and pirates/steals documents.
Lemmy, having not gotten any schooling in his youth, was eager to enroll once he was adopted by Bowser, but found the stuffy private schools his new "King Dad" offered too difficult and stifling, so after he left middle school he begged to not go to any more. He did enroll in clown school one summer but that was mostly just for fun on his part, and he still has his graduation certificate from that.
Roy had the luxury of going to public school most of his life until getting Adopted into the royal family, however it can be said that he was NOT the best student, at all, he skipped most of the time and while he wasn't super disruptive, he also didn't do much work when he was there, late and missing assignments were a constant, and once he WAS living in the castle he wasn't eager to do anything aside from mandatory Army training, he did relent and at least let Kamek teach him how to use his wand though since he couldn't figure it out after It was given to him.
Wendy was also homeschooled when she was young but was always pretty social, if a bit bratty, once she was adopted by Bowser she eagerly accepted the offer for actual schooling, but she was also disappointed by the Private schools she was allowed to attend, fortunately she just happened to win her place in Bowser's favorites so she eventually convinced him to let her into a public school, where she actively flourishes even if she was a tad behind on some topics in the beginning, she also had a tutor when she was a bit younger.
Morton went to public school and has always struggled with it, refused to go to any similar schooling once he was adopted and so was mostly tutored inside the castle, he doesn't do well in group schooling so he often prefers one-on-ones when possible, and with the personal education Kamek could provide him he was able to get by, of course he avoided troop training for as long as he could but he does have to go to it eventually.
Larry does go to a private school but it's only twice a week and he mostly gets lessons within the castle the rest of the week, all of The Koopalings are in army and troop training and so is Larry so that's what he's doing most of the week, sometimes he gets training from the Majikoopa's though.
Junior does sit in on troop training sometimes but he isn't being taught yet, he mostly gets lessons from Bowser or the majikoopa's as well right now.
Not entirely sure this is what you meant, I had a lot more ideas than I thought I would though so I'm proud of this either way, hope y'all enjoy!! If you read all of em' then here's a fortune cookie π₯
How did Dark Matter Swordsman become good? Shouldn't he be made of negative emotions?
"I was, technically speaking. Lord Zero created me, along with the other Dark Matter drones, with the purpose of smothering the galaxy in their Dark Star. But, when the star child struck me down with their blade forged of positive energy, my core was shattered and then reborn. Rekindled as somethingβ¦ some*one*β¦ different. Someone whoβ¦feels. Who loves."
Because of a previous encounter, Coilailpe approaches Amalthea with fear and caution. The hybrid was shaking slightly as she spoke.
H-Hello ma'am...I hope you don't mind me asking b-but what's your stance on ultra beasts...a-and what's ultra space?
Amalthea glances over to the small figure trembling before her. Slowly, the Lunala hunkers down, her eyes meeting the Rioluβs.
Amalthea began to quietly speak, hoping her voice and stature would be less intimidating to her guest.
βHello there, little one! What great questions you have. Letβs seeβ¦β
The Lunala trailed off as she began to recall memories of her home.
βUltra Space is a place not unlike Earth. In fact, itβs where Iβm from! The constellations there shine like no other. We also have various βwormholesβ that lead to a wide variety of locations- forests, oceans, desertsβ¦β
Amalthea trailed off yet again as she gazed at the color and patterning on the Riolu. Strangeβ¦ almost likeβ¦.
βUltra Beasts!β She exclaimed.
βThese are the residents of Ultra Space, if you will. They may look frightening, but you will find that they are just like any other Pokemon you would find on Earth. In fact, Necrozma calls upon Lunala and Solgaleo to watch over and guide them. A very noble and highly regarded task, indeed!β
The Lunala nods and offers the Riolu another small smile.
Decided the ponies of the AU need some alternative names better fit for the world of Equestria!
(and so they they can bs properly identified separately from the original sonic cast)
Here's a master list of all the names for everypony:
β’ Ponies
β Sonic Boom (Sonic)
β Twisty Tails (Tails)
β Ace Rose ("Ace") (Amy)
β Creme brulee ("Creme") (Cream)
β Bulky Catch ("Bulk") (Big)
β Mareroon ("Roon") (Rouge) batpony
β Shadow Sparks (Shadow)
β Silver stardust (Silver)
β’ Other Creatures
β Buckles ("Bucks") (Knuckles) Zebra

β Espionage (Espio) Dragon
β Scorcher (Vector) Dragon
β Hamuli (Charmy) Changeling
β’ Machines
β Timber Omega (T-123 Omega) (Omega)
β Metal Boom (Metal Sonic)
(this list will be updated if I think of any additional characters I'd like to include )
β°ββ€ Tagsββββββββββ
Some character are still referred to by there original name, so for tags I'll be using
The original name of that Character (e.g. Amy)
The original, fullname (e.g. Amy Rose)
The AU name (e.g. Ace Rose)
β Explaining the nameing ββββββββββ
β’ Ace Rose ββββββββββ
β Card pun
β’ Creme Brulee ββββββββββ
β Creme Brulee is a type of dessert which primarily uses cream!
β’ Bulky Catch ββββββββββ
β a play on his size but a hint to his love of fishing! (and because he quite the catch himself, we love big in these parts)
β’ Mareroon ββββββββββ
β since "Rouge" is a color, I decided to pick another color as the alternative name. Maroon not only works for the pun, but is also a color associated with bl*od, which felt appropriate for a bat pony
β’ Shadow Sparks ββββββββββ
β he's a dark figure, illuminated only by the sparks of his own magic
β’ Buckles ββββββββββ
β Horses (or Zebras in this case) don't have hands, so they don't have Knuckles, so they can't punch. Horses do however, have hooves, and can kick, this Buckles, Bucks!
β’ Tenochtitlan ββββββββββ
β Tikal is named after a temple, so I figured her AU name should be named after a temple in Equestria, and I landed on the Tenochtitlan temple, not much is actually known for this temple in universe, so writing will be required.
β’ Blazing Aster ββββββββββ
β the Kirin have plant/nature related names. Aster is a kind of purple flower so I figured it fit best!
β’ Mareef ββββββββββ
β "Marine" is in reference to general Ocean life, which is very prominent in Coral Reefs.
β’ Espionage ββββββββββ
β Dragons usually have short names that list off a specific trait, Espio is short of espionage which refers to spying
β’ Scorcher ββββββββββ
β A hint at his fire breath (or fire tunes if you'd like)
β’ Hamuli ββββββββββ
β the changelings tend to have names that reference bug anatomy or topics, "Hamuli" are a structure found on honeybee wings.
β’ Timber Omega ββββββββββ
β Omega is a term used for wolf rankings in some cases, so perhaps it's used for Timberwolves as well! Omegas design will reflect that aspect as well as what powers him
