Is it helpful to keep the Broodal asks separate? I WANT MY FAN SERBICE

short answer none of them and they absolutely just Do Not

but ig i owe the three of you who read these broodalsposts some fan service so. have a longer version of that.

i think this is the original koopalings version of the question but it has been approximately 84 years since you originally sent this. i take forever to answer asks. but yall know that. i get a weird amount of questions in my inbox for such a teeny tiny small stupid blog. and ngl. i have no idea why. there are infinitely cooler folks with infinitely cooler hcs out there. but i appreciate the interaction greatly.

anyway. fan service.

topper is not an emotional guy. very closed off in that stoic old man way. does not believe in crying. he may be gay but hes not THAT gay. he hasn't cried in. a very long time. hes not very sensitive and its hard to get under his skin enough to make him cry. shame. need this old man DEVASTATED. make this horrible old man depressed now. he doesn't like to cry. does not like to feel things. that shit is GAY. he would just. Not. comfort anyone. if he saw them crying. dude cant even comfort his own kid let alone his Employees. pretends he didnt see it. definitely isn't acknowledging it. yes his circus yes his monkeys no not his problem. do not cry around this man. he does not know what to do.

rangos attuned to his emotions but hes not sensitive per se. doesnt cry much. hes got them emotions Regulated so he Doesn't cry at work. he smokes a pack of camel cigarettes and vents to his mama when he goes home. hes 37 years of age he is not bawling in the office. its hard to get him upset to the point of tears. bros very regulated. but his kind empathetic heart locks in when he sees someone else overwhelmed enough to cry at work. usually past employees tbf. he uses his assistant manager powers to summon some tissues, a cup of tea, and permission to take a little break. his presence is very soothing. hes good at comfort. and not awkward or weird like the rest of these dicks.

arty has cried at work before. probably a couple times. always in the bathroom. or his car. he kinda just fucks off without telling anybody and doesnt acknowledge it after. he has been yelled at by topper for this more than once. arty is not a great employee. hes a little emotional. he deals with a lot of mental health issues and they definitely contribute to how he reacts to events at work. he'll cry sometimes, sometimes he won't gaf, sometimes he'll get angry. you never know! hes not good at comfort. hes awkward and hes not particularly close with his coworkers. he doesn't really feel its his place and he feels he'd probably make any sort of emotional moment. significantly worse.

hariet isnt very sensitive about anything thatd happen at work. she doesnt give a fuck about her job. who gaf if the client is pissed. that's not her problem. cope. she doesnt gaf. shes sensitive about other subjects, she'll tear up watching sad reels on her break, but she's not really sensitive enough to cry at work. that shit is saved for her car and her bed. if she feels overwhelmed enough to cry at work she'll usually just tell topper she has cramps and shes going home. she would never comfort any of these fuckers she does Not know how to deal with that. points and laughs. leaves. can you tell all these guys suuuuuck. she doesnt get paid enough for this. deal with it yourself, old man.

Oooh a question about Arty!!! I love this poor rabbit so much.

EDIT: just realized maybe this was meant to be answered on character and I do want to start doing that. But that doesn't mean you're gonna get all the lore, since the actual characters will lie.

I really need to get on researching his conditions. The only one I'm sure about is completely made-up, and mildly based on my own acid reflux but cranked to the max. I can absolutely see Arty needing or really benefiting from mobility aids. I also see him absolutely refusing to use them for a long long time.

She hates being pitied. She would think a cane or crutch or wheelchair would make her seem pathetic because her worldview is very screwed up. It would take a good decade after we meet him, narrative wise, before he even thinks about using a wheelchair. Probably is helped by the fact Ludwig gets some sort of arthritis or osteoporosis and needs a cane. Roy would also be a big help cuz he would want to get one of those sport wheelchairs for like hiking so they could do manly stuff together. Roy probably gets one for Arty as a gift and Arty is STUNNED. She knows how expensive it was and if she accepts then she is accepting that she needs or wants it, which (in her eyes) makes her weak. Girl, get up, let your boyfriend race you in your chair.

If she starts using a regular wheelchair more often (I see her with a condition where standing too long or walking a lot hurts, so she would use it on days where she's been on her feet a lot), Lemmy would buy her so many cute accessories. Colored spokes, charms, a bag designed to hang off the back, etc. Iggy would deck out the sport chair like crazy. Arty vehemently denies the jetpack Iggy wants to add. Wendy would help him assort the decorations in an aesthetic way and probably even get him an outfit to go with the aesthetic of the chair. Morton would love to help Arty in any way: pushing him around, retrieving the chair when needed, helping fix a tire or smth idk. Larry would just ignore it. Becomes his new normal and he just dgaf. Hariet would get too excited about it. She’s trying to be woke so bad. Asks too often if Arty needs to sit down. Rango makes sure there’s a dedicated spot in the wedding planner shop for it to be stored. Topher will fuck up the wedding plans for anyone who says shit. Arty hates this, says he can fend for himself. Toph says he on a “getting fired speed run” since at this point he and Ludwig are married. He has the best friends lmao.

Doodles I did during my lunch break :3

TL;DR; I can absolutely see Arty using a wheelchair, but he would not want to for a LONG time bc he is so stuck up over his pride and ego. All the 'lings would encourage him greatly to get one.
