In which Kamek fully knows the single parent struggle! o3o

Funfacts for the headcanon:

-Bowser’s parents are perfectly fine and are, in fact, alive, they’re just bad parents. And bad rulers for that matter. Kamek is largely the reason why the Koopa Kingdom didn’t fall to ruin under their reign since he basically ran the kingdom himself; the king and queen were too busy out partying or taking several vacations as the expense of their subjects. And when Bowser came into the picture? Same deal; Kamek was already running the kingdom, why not have him raise their child too?

-Bowser was a very mischievous and adventurous child, always getting into things he wasn’t supposed to! Kamek had a hard time keeping up with him most days and would often refer to several books on how to rear children for advice. His favorite is “Child Raising for Imbeciles”, a book series written by old friend Toadsworth.

-Bowser straight-up sees Kamek as his dad, and he calls him “Ba”. His blood parents can barely get him to call them “Mother” or “Father”, as he often uses their actual names instead; he doesn’t really like either of them to be frank.

-Kamek initially attempted to snatch Mario and Luigi when they were babies because he wanted to give bab Bowser some playmates so he wouldn’t be so lonely. Of course this failed, but the irony in it is that years later, the Brothers and Bowser end up friends anyway.
