Loose doodles for The Star-crossed Temporal Warrior AU!

The AU in itself is a Forgotten World/ Star-Crossed World AU which WILL NOT BE WORKED ON IN COMIC/ASK FORMAT UNTIL THE DLC RELEASES OR WE KNOW ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT IT.

I want to have an idea of how this AU works then when the DLC comes out I will add on ideas from the game to this AU.

⬇️FULL DISCUSSION ABOUT THE AU BELOW⬇️

In this AU, the mysterious comet that falls into the forgotten land contains Galacta knight. After lying at the bottom of another dimension for a millennium, the crystal seal he had been stuck in began collecting crystals from empty space thanks to the deep influence of Void Termina controlling him, helping create a Jamba-heart-like crystal casing. When Elfilis began to open various rifts in space to try and get rid of Kirby, it accidentally caused a stir at the bottom of another dimension when it frantically opened up a rift there, sucking the comet out of place around the exosphere of the planet. This allowed the comet to orbit the planet dangerously close to its land. The comet then, after a full orbit or two, was finally pulled down onto the planet, landing near the natural plains not too far from where it was originally summoned (in redgar forbidden lands).

The combination of Void termina's remaining malicious energy, and Galacta's fury from that influencing energy caused these crystals to infect the area and its inhabitants, as well as create new creatures like the crystal monsters we see Kirby duel in certain levels we've been shown already.

What about the starries? Well they originally part of the process that helped seal Galacta away to prevent him from going on a rampage due to the sudden possession of Void Termina, who did so as a last effort to keep its reign of destruction going. The starries themselves were sealed in their crystals like we see in game, doing so to seal away great evil like their gacha figs mention. When Galacta was pulled down to the forgotten land, the starries followed, hoping the seal would not fully break. Unfortunately it kinda did and that's were we see stuff like fallen-star volcano and the effects the crystals have on people.

Kirby, the one who can reverse the effect of the possession, goes out with Elflin, Bandee, and the unnamed dee we see in the trailer in order to rescue the starries and figure out what's happening exactly.

Eventually they get to the volcano, where the seal now becomes broken and Kirby must fight a Void-possessed, crystalized Galacta knight. The pink demon obviously beats him, and undoes the possession like he has with others before. Galacta is a bit out of it, but he doesn't seem like a threat anymore. The starries realize this too, and no longer have to seal Galacta away, going off into space to do whatever the little fellas do.

While this is the "end" of the story, it's only the start for Galacta. Waking up in someone else's bed, bandaged up and only remembering the strange feeling of loosing conscious after helping seal Void Termina away. This puts the warrior on edge.

Galacta as a person is much like Kirby, a genuinely jolly and aloof fellow...until he feels threatened, and becomes something entirely different and very, very angry. And right now Gala feels like he's in danger. After shooting through the chimney with such force he almost cracked Kirby's house, he has to be calmed down by people he doesn't know in a place he doesn't know in a language he can't understand. They don't seem to be able to understand him either, which may cause some issues.

While Galacta doesn't blow up the town, he has a strange discomfort around the waddle dees who don't know what personal space is and are a little too friendly for the warrior's liking. The penguin seems like a lax fellow, and the knight that looks like him is very interesting. Though in the beginning he only trusts Kirby, Elflilin, Bandee, and the currently unnamed waddle dee. The AU then follows him adjusting to this life and learning to cope with the changes of the future and the fact he had to leave the comfortable past behind.

Hyness and the mage sisters also are involved with this AU, which cause some conflict at first but things cool down thanks to Kirby.

Other little Gala AU factoids:

Galacta's eyes are naturally teal, when possessed they are that strange pink like Meta is when he was possessed. I picked teal because Elfilin/Elfilis have a teal/pink-magenta color-scheme and giving Gala that too I thought would be interesting

The crystaling caused a large cluster of crystal to sprout from one of his eyes, causing a strange, shiny scar when beaten by Kirby. This scar acts up and causes Gala pain when if he were to be in another dimension or around certain kinds of magic.

This Galacta was never summoned to fight in this universe/timeline, and rather stayed at the bottom of another dimension until Elfilis accidentally moved him.

This AU Galacta was unconscious fully during his sealing, as well as being partially unconscious during his possession episode. This causes quite a bit of confusion for Gala as he has no one to tell him what happened in detail.

I'm considering this AU's Gala to be transmasc because I can <3

Obviously with story and its elements will be updated and changed when the DLC comes out, especially in the event if Galacta IS endgame and we get a different story than this AU.

Kinda hate how this one came out but I mean it's 80% art and 100% writing from 2022/2023 so of course it's going to be of that quality. Basically a lore dumb about how Gala and Morpho work here better explained. And a slight intro to Necrodeus though he's behind the scenes.

Anyway I used my "allowed to make a post F-tier art" pass today so I'll have to wait next year to use it again heehoo

baby kirby and elfilin 🍼

details under the cut ⬇️

elfilin

for a few years after his separation from fecto elfilis, his appearance was not the fluffy animal we know and love today, but some sort of goopy freakish homunculus

-translucent, constantly dripping/damp body

- IDF-87 identification tag tightly zip tied around his neck. this does become a problem in the fiture

-large, non blinking eyes

-pinkish innards visible from the outside. if you looked at him close enough you could even see veins, guts, and bones... gross

-still developing ears, tail, and... everything. only gains his current appearance after slowly shifting his form subconsciously to appear more animal like, similar to all the animals he encountered in the forgotten land

kirby

born from the ashes of a tragedy, sent across the galaxy as a shooting star... quite alien looking but very cute all the same. not yet the pink puff we all know and love

-wayyyyy cuter. sorry elfilin...

-he's got the starrie rainbow face star thing going on. idc if starries end up being unrelated to kirby's species <3 i do what i want in my house

-his species, astral, are born practically blind but with long very sensitive whiskers used to feel his way around and find food

-very fluffy. basically a living puffball

-he will gain his pink colors and heart shaped blushes after being taken care of by the citizens of dreamland and knowing their love and devotion

kirby star allies 1 year anniversary

[pastelaeqy]

honestly once this DLC comes out I am genuinely considering making one just like that lol

my magnum opus. I am star crossed world pilled.

forgive me for spelling errors or whatever I just needed to get all my thoughts into one place.

Included is a bit of commentary on why I think we should disregard Morpho Knight absorbing Galacta Knight as strictly canon, as well as me pointing out how GK was made quite literally integral to the lore of the series given his appearance in Super Kirby Clash...

Only time will tell if I'm right lol

im not playing around.

I've still yet to include the newer information and some other quotes. I'm also repeating a lot of what other people have already said, but I'm trying to add more context to these connections and give more reasons why GK is the best fit. I'm also trying to give more context to some of the design elements because whilst some are definitely meant to mirror others (e.g. Lor Starcutter, the Starries), things like the Another Dimension obstacles appear to me more as design staples of the series (but as I say elsewhere on this map, I would be selling the Kirby design team short by assuming they never considered the parallels).

One thing I will say though is that very few design elements of the jamba heart in the trailer and the crystals relate to GK beyond being conceptually tied to him. I don't think this necessarily excludes GK from being present though! If it is indeed GK then I'd be interested to see how this relates to him. New GK design????

more progress plus some doodles. Talking about my design plus other things below.

I think the copy ability hat kirby has merges and changes with the armour but what I'm rendering is like default. I also think the whites of his wings also change, so for example water ability? They're made of water now. Spark? Pink and electrified. He gets a set of goggles and his wings become feathered for the Wing ability. They become cool and mechanised for Jet (mecha knight-esque). For abilities where he just gains a skill or weapon (e.g. chef, hammer) his wings don't change.

Idk what to do about yoyo and esp because he just gets a cap and I think that would look dumb.

Maybe to get around this he doesn't wear his armour all the time? It's not like he needs it (as evidenced by all kirby games). Maybe it's like a formal thing. He's Kirby of the Stars. I feel like he'd be down to wear some fancy armour every now and then. Also helps distinguish any sort of future kirby design from a present kirby.

also something really really important I would like to state.

I don't think Kirby, or Meta Knight by extension, have weird hands underneath their gloves. I think they're just extending their... paw? Hand? Into the glove, and if they were to withdraw it, it would go back to its normal rounded shape. This is because I think it looks gross and off-putting otherwise. There is a single image of this being the case with meta knight and I will cling onto that forever.

WIP of a fake render for a very specific iteration of grown Kirby I made like 5 years ago. yes I’m Galacta knight pilled what of it.

[pastelaeqy]

Happy Birthday Kirby! to celebrate I wanted to create a series of illustrations based on the 'it's Kirby Time' series <3

'It's Kirby Time - A world without Kirby'

I created a read-along video to go alongside it as well <3 I'm not the best voice actor with mediocre equipment but it was fun to make!

Watch it here:
