I was looking more into the magazine mentioned in this post and I found something interesting.

One of the issues of the magazine has a section listing the various enemies that resemble major characters from throughout the series, such as Batamon and Galacta Knight. There's not really any new information in the Kirby and Meta Knight parts, just a list of enemies and a short description for each. But then...

Yes, the question of whether Ado and Adeleine are the same person rears its ugly head once again. The main text of the section still isn't anything noteworthy, just saying that both characters share a lot of similarities. The real juicy bit comes from the caption under the picture.

This says, "Could it be that [Adeleine] becomes Ado when she's controlled by Dark Matter!?"

Now, this is not the most logical theory. It is not the most sensible theory. It is almost certainly not what the original intent of the character was and it's coming from a source of extremely dubious authority. But man, I think this is hands-down the funniest answer to the Ado/Adeleine debacle there is.

So yeah, I'm ride-or-die for this. Ado is Adeleine's evil alter ego that comes out when she's possessed. You can tell she's messed-up because she dropped the last syllable of her name! Dear god! I'm expecting to see fanart, fanfics, fan-whatevers allll about this highly important piece of Kirby lore soon.

(Bonus thing: A different page of this same section expresses uncertainty as to whether Zero-Two is connected to Dark Matter. This is once again extremely funny and part of me wants it to be true. Imagine Kirby and the gang rolling up to Dark Star like "We'll fight Dark Matter as many times as it takes!" and Zero-Two's just like "woah woah woah do not lump me in with those guys")

hey real quick can anyone find the excerpt or quote that states susie and hwc officially went eco-friendly/green?

trying to compile some stuff for kirby lore and i can't find it anywhere— was this just a popular headcanon or a mega-obscure interview comment or something?

[edit: found it yayyy (clanky woods 2.0 flavor text)]

[roborabbitart]

So for anyone confused as to how both Necrodeus and Morpho Knight both exist in Kirby lore, allow me to present this thought:

^ God of Fucking Kills You ^

^ God of Makes Sure You Fucking Stay That Way ^

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

The true meaning of insanity.

[dragons-hoard-of-fandoms]

I have a headcanon that Uzi is secretly a diehard Kirby fan and knows all the ins and outs of the lore and N is the first person she's ever been able to rant about it to without ruining her whole edgy goth persona.

He doesn't really get most of it but he's more than happy to just let her talk about her special interests.

The Anti-Kirbys Are Batamons Hypothesis

So in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening you can encounter an enemy called Kirby or Anti-Kirby, a Kirby-like enemy.

So I believe these Anti-Kirbys are possibly the Batamon that show up in Kirby's Dream Land 3. I believe this is the case because this would 1 explain why they try to eat Link for no reason, but 2 would work well because of the similarities between the Batamon and Anti-Kirbys in their eyes. Also, this would give an explanation to the Batamon as Anti-Kirbys.

Now how would they have ended up in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening? Well probably through some dimensional portal. Written by Eris

[still talking about this but i feel like this would be lost if it was just a reblog addendum]

For real my greatest regret with my time in this fandom is not finding enough people who talk about Kirby STORIES nor doing that enough myself. Like its always kinda just between "ah my adorable and/or tragic blorbos" and "MOST FUCKED UP KIRBY LORE!" as I've complained about 100 billion times now, but I really wanna talk about the evolution of the series' storytelling under Kumazaki's direction more and how you can really feel them finding their footing on What Kirby "Lore" Means.

Ever since Robobot the games have tackled more direct themes and science fantasy tropes and it's also when it's really started coming into it's own. Return to Dreamland and Triple Deluxe and wonderful but you can see where the team holding back on detail and leaning into more cliche platformer-y things didn't let them reach full potential. Robobot and KatFL on the other hand excel at the more sci-fi themeing because they really let that more out there stuff absorb into the fabric of the gameplay and visuals, and while I've touched on KSA not being as lush as those other two, it makes up for it with sheer volume of content in the end. Evil cults are more fantasy than sci-fi so it didn't have ideas as extreme as those other two to latch onto, but it could still be more purposeful with the levels in the middle yknow. But still, the writing of the Jamba and the design of Void Termina have a lot packed into them that make it work once you unpack it.

RTDL and Tripluxe you can maybe say theres like a theme of greed in a nebulous sense, but it is genuinely fluffy platformer fair with an interesting villain thrown in at the end, Robobot, KSA, and KatFL are like actual great sci-fantasy stories wrapped up in fairytale-like bow. RTDL and Tripluxe become good when you fill in blanks*, but the last 3 just Are Good, Straight Up*.

*I know some of you people out there think pause screens are supplementary but it is literally The Game's Text, so I mean good with the pause screens.

Like Kirby "Lore" HAS gone from What If There Was A Platformer Villain But Really Fucked Up to actual really cool commentaries on imperialism/industrialization, bonds and religion, and life. I think its really fucking cool and what actually has kept me a Kirby fan. I can find a platformer that gets really complicated the more you look into it's flavor text, or one with cute character designs, or sad moments, but you don't find one so often that like cares. That really cares about the characters and the world and stuff, but about saying something confidently. Kirby storytelling may not come off as confident to people because it's not overt, but the confidence is in the details that surround and support those ideas that in any other series would just be pedantic "lore".

Like Robobot doesn't have "lore" about Susie and Haltmann, it has a backstory complimenting a power struggle in the plot's climax that ties into the idea of imperialism being a cannibalistic pursuit. Star Allies doesnt have "lore" about doomsday cults and gods, it has a story about how real bonds and connections can form even in dark places and its important to cherish those and not let circumstances corrupt them (or something, it has been a whilehgjh). And KatFL doesnt have "lore" about ooooo all the humans are dead this IS THE DAHKEST KIRBY GAME!! Its fucking aboyut how animals and joy and whimsy will reinherit the earth!

im justfuskdgs WHOS DOING THE KIRBY LITERARY ANALYSIS?? Where are they? They have to be out there im so fr ghsf

What Happens To The Enemies Kirby Eats

A lot of people have wondered what happens to the enemies Kirby eats in all his adventures. Turns out there is an answer.

In a Polygon interview by Chris Plante titled 'What happens if Kirby swallows a hot man?' His directors give answers, we get the answer to this. Kumazaki: "Because the base world is a fantasy world, it’s not like they get swallowed and digested inside of Kirby. Because that might be jarring, and because we made the game to be approachable, having that kind of extreme or violent expression might negate making the game so approachable. Instead, we have this comical, funny depiction where the enemies poof. When an enemy or creature gets swallowed by Kirby, they may disappear but they do resurface somewhere else in the world."

So basically there is a respawn system in Dreamland. After an enemy gets swallowed, the get respawned somewhere else. Written by Eris

Happy Mother's day!!! 🤱🤱🤱

A redraw of Kirby's first moments. I makes me so sad that it has never been shown if Kirby has any parents... 😥😥😥

META KNIGHT

Well, Kirby is one of my favourite franchises, the Lore, the characters, the games, the music... I like everything!

After completing Kirby star allies another time and the SoulMelter (I tried the SM EX and is a hell) I can say that Meta Knight is one of my favourite characters from Kirby!

My favourite character is probably void termina, but meta Knight can easily be my second favourite character!

One of my best drawings :')

[bombyz-fuse]

I’ve found out so much from translated Twitter posts and art books. Apparently it’s confirmed DMK’s scar is from his fight with Meta Knight? And that Magolor doesn’t have a mirror world version?

Is there anything else I’ve missed???? I have to know. Guys give me your Kirby fun facts

FOLKS TIME FOR OLD SHIT POSTS I NEVER POSTED.

No need to thank me.

My Kirby headcanon: Moley either 1, transitioned and then detransitioned somewhere between 2006 and 2011, or 2, has always been genderfluid.
