GUYS I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DRAW EXPRESSIVE DEDEDE HE IS NOW MORE CONSISTENT.

[galactaknightyaoi]

☀️ IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! 🌙

This is my gift to myself :) I drew my favorite guys ever.

For a while I've been itching to draw the wedding outfits from this post again. I made them up on the fly as I was drawing, but I actually really like how they ended up turning out. They're super cute!! (though, yet again, you can't see almost any part of Dedede's outfit... 💔)

But then I couldn't get it out of my head to make a companion piece for it, with their mirror versions. And so. I did. What they have going on is a little bit messy, though...

Marriage or divorce!! Take your pick.

About metadede headcanons (it's not much of a headcanon more like how their relationship evolved and my headcanon timeline about the Kirby games)

•They were friends since childhood.

•They stayed as friends until Dedede declared himself the king of dreamland, they were traveling through stars until that and meta didn't wanted to stay in one star for the rest of his life and wanted to go adventuring through space.

•They still give each other calls and hangout, but as the time passed (and dedede started to change aka get cropted by power) those calls and visits became fewer and fewer until they didn't talk to each other.

•After that the first time Meta heard about dedede was due news that said king of dreamland stole all the food. Meta realized the power went to his head back when they were still hanging out, but he didn't think he would stood that low.

•Because of that meta knight figured out the best thing to do was to dethrone dedede, he wasn't planing to give dedede any massive punishment at worst he would send him to dangeon for a few months until he learned his lesson, but when he got out he wouldn't get his throne back.

•Meta knights revenge happens and after that Kirby informs dedede about the events and he says he will think about it.

•When it's time for Kirby's adventure, king dedede against his better judgment gives one of the star rod pieces to meta because he trusts him.

•Due to that Meta and Dedede starts hanging out and Meta realizes that Dedede has changed for the better (in my headcanon dark matter trilogy happens between superstar and adventure).

•After that they become friends again and fighters 2 happens.

Now for some non-timeline related headcanons:

•Meta likes to sit on top of dedede's head to feel tall.

•Dedede can pick meta in his hands.

•Dedede doesn't want anyone to know that his possessions has left an affect on him so he doesn't talk to anyone about it, luckly ,even tho meta is terrible at picking up on social ques, noticed something was wrong and talked to him about those things and made dedede feel better.

•When they were children Meta once gave Dedede a rock that he thought was pretty cool, and Dedede said "Yes, I will marry you" since he was told rejecting an offer from a friend was rude.

•In things where meta needs to have normal sized arms compared to dedede (like hugging dancing etc.) he uses his wings.

Sorry if it is too long.

not too long at all! thanks for writing all that!

it’s really interesting to me just how popular the childhood friends headcanon is, considering there’s not much canon basis for it (not that that matters.) it’s a really cute hc though and i’m always happy to see it

definitely always love the star rod thing. it’s interesting that even back then mk and dedede were kind of cast in the same light, y’know? that being a point they connect over makes a lot of sense—your timeline is a lot different than mine here, being placed after romk, but it’s pretty cool that dedede would trust him with that even after that. adds a layer to it.

anyway i drew a couple of those headcanons just for funsies

i do think meta likes to be held, just probably not in full armor and where everyone can see him lol. it’s definitely a little awkward given their sizes though. holds like burger…

i’m not really a childhood friends metadede believer but imagining their dynamic is pretty fun? especially if we’re adding the Spanish speaking mk hc into this. i guess for some reason i imagined dedede as a little more shy here? just not quite broken out of his shell yet…no pun intended. they can have shenanigans together or something

and dedede only accepting meta’s “proposal” out of courtesy is so funny lol. i can imagine him going home after this and being a little upset because now he feels like he has to marry him. i’m sure the conversation that followed that was very fun /sarcasm

poor meta must’ve been very confused ^^” ah but the irony…

it’s just a very endearing concept to me. cute :>

Kirby and Friends: Christmas Movie Headcanons

Christmas has arrived in Popstar and it’s the most wonderful time, a time where all friends and foes Kirby has met over his journeys in the past, decided to take a break from their usual shenanigans by celebrating Christmas with family and friends.

But what are their favorite Christmas movies?

1. Kirby’s Favorite Christmas Movie: Elf (2003) Movie

Kirby can relate with Buddy the Elf whenever he spreads the Christmas Cheer wherever he goes, with a smile on his face, and saving Christmas in the end. Kirby always spread some joy not only on Christmas but every day at every time, especially after he’s done saving Dreamland along with Planet Popstar.

So whenever he’s decorating his house for Christmas, or baking some gingerbread cookies for his friends and himself, he turns on the movie so he can join in on the fun.

2. Meta Knight’s Favorite Christmas Movie: Home Alone

To everyone’s surprise, Meta Knight does have a favorite Christmas Movie, since nobody knows much about Meta Knight’s background as a Star Warrior so everyone assumed he doesn’t celebrate Christmas much since his old comrades “passings”…

Meta Knight likes this movie due to the boys quick thinking, and the two crooks falling into his traps so easily. The movie reminds him of all of the good times he had with his late comrades, his friends. Now with Kirby along with his friends in the present he’ll be able to have good quality times with them, even though if he doesn’t show or admit it.

3. King Dededee’s Favorite Christmas Movie: Frosty The Snowman

Back when he was a little prince this movie out of the other holiday movies makes me smile, grinning from ear to ear mostly because his favorite snowman makes children smile, and his parents are here to spend time together with Dededee on Christmas.

But when he saw the little girl crying over Frosty melted away after by bringing her inside the greenhouse he cried with her, thinking Frosty would never come back, but when he saw Frosty brought back to life again he was happy again.

Now that he’s a king and an adult every year he always puts on Frosty the Snowman as part of his own Christmas Tradition, to celebrate Christmas with his friends and to all of his good memories spent together with his parents.

4. Bandanadee’s Favorite Christmas Movie: The Polar Express

Years ago his mother used to read him a story called the Polar Express growing up, but when he saw a poster announcing a movie about his favorite Christmas story Bandanadee didn’t hesitate in buying tickets to go see the movie, and eventually buying a dvd copy.

To this day he still held onto the storybook his mother had given him and every year on Christmas Eve he reads it to the children in Dreamland spreading some Christmas Spirit and wonder for all to enjoy.

5. Elfin’s Favorite Christmas Movie: Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas

Kirby recommended that movie for him a year later after the events of Forgotten Lands since Christmas is a new concept to him, so Elfin had a Christmas movie mini marathon with Kirby, and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas was the first movie he picked out for his little mousey friend. Since this is Elfin’s first Christmas ever he enjoyed it along with the movie.

Hoping he’ll have more Christmases to be just as good as his first one, and more good memories shared with Kirby along with his newfound friends.

(That’s all on Christmas headcanons for now! Thought I’d do a little Christmas headcanon for this year since Christmas is just a week away. Please leave a like, comment, and a reblog. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone! 🙂👋)

OH MY GOD IT'S SO AMAZING RIFUSFBIBWUIFBEWUIBFIUBWW-

Here’s a project I’ve been working on for a bit! I wanted to do mock color keys, so I decided to take something pre-existing and make scene keys for it, which ended up being kirby 64! Kirby is simple, so he makes for a good canvas to use different schemes and lighting. I totally recommend doing color keys of a game or movie; I really learned a lot about decision making from doing this!

Origin Swap AU: Dedede, Meta Knight and the Dees

EFY here, I just remembered this is Tumblr, I made a new blog for my Kirby Role Swap AU.

Excuse the radio silence. Have a two (and a half, IG) for one entry.

So before going with my absolute faves, I decided to show my ideas for the main players of the series.

Kirby

A pink traveler from outer space. He arrived during the Autumn Chill in the mist of Meta Knight's rule. Once freeing Dream Land's denizens from his clutches, Kirby decided to settle down. He vows to protect his home from whoever threatens it.

Let's get the pink puff first. He stays the same. A few characters don't get swapped at all, many from the distant past. With Kirby, I just felt right, he's a character that mainly reacts.

Of course, details of his story are different, like arriving much later than canon, giving Meta Knight time to take over.

Dedede

Dream Land's former self-appointed king. A target Meta Knight had to take down to establish his power. The disgraced ex-monarch now lives at the feet of Mt. DeDeDe, honing his skill with the hammer through mochi. He's been helping Kirby a lot in his adventure. Does he have ulterior motives? Is he plotting so one day he can recover his stolen pride?

So, in this AU Dedede was dethroned six months before Kirby arrived. Enough time for some self-reflection. Here he has no grudge against Kirby, but Meta Knight; but it expresses differently than canon as his personality has mellowed down a little.

As he is swapped with MK, he takes the role of Kirby's mentor. He's more straightforward, being openly friends with Kirby, with some food related rivalry.

He trains him in the art of the hammer. Though he might be using Kirby to take Meta Knight down a peg. Dedede gives him mochi, though. Kirby is kind to teach him how to fly too.

I pictured Dedede as a rogue living in a cabin at the bottom of a mountain, but he's not alone. There are still a few loyal waddle dees by his side, like

Bandana Waddle Dee

One of Dedede's loyal waddle dees that evaded Meta Knights watchful eye. Donning a blue bandana, this fellow seems to be somewhat of a leader to the other waddle dees, taking charge when Dedede's not home.

In this AU, Bandee takes a bit of a back sit as he is swapped with Sailor Dee. Here he is in charge of keeping Dedede's cabin in order. He's still good friends with Kirby as they do get to see each other often.

Meta Knight

The enigmatic knight that took over Dream Land long before Kirby arrived. With his many control bases and the battleship Halberd, no one dared to challenge his rule, until now.

In this universe Revenge of Meta Knight happened, and he won. So technically this is a Darker AU, I guess. A heavily militarized, but miserable Dream Land, with denizens in high alert until Kirby frees them. I guess this version of the first game would have been harder in general.

Of course, once Kirby comes, Lord Meta Knight loses a lot of his power. But he is not exactly mad. Somewhat angry, yes, but mostly intrigued by Kirby and his potential. In his attempts to recover some power, he has also tried to get Kirby by his side, make him his protegee.

But he loses again and again.

Meta Knight gets to have the years-long character development to not be such a control freak. His confidence is a bit inflated due to the power trip. But eventually he will stop trying to force Dream Land to his military lifestyle, become its protector and appreciate carefree moments.

He also gets to be possessed more than any character.

Instead of getting a masked power up like King Dedede, his power ups include him getting a second phase where he keeps fighting despite his mask getting cut in half. I refer to it as Unmasked Meta Knight.

Sailor Waddle Dee

A member of Lord Meta Knight's crew, usually seen aiding at the Halberd. Though that is his role, he secretly wanted to be like the Meta-Knights. May be that's why he's challenging Kirby. But is he skilled enough with his parasol?

I hope the lack of Bandee can be made up by giving the spotlight to Sailor Dee. He has a very similar character arc, prove himself to MK and later become Kirby's friend.

As a character with little screentime, my vision for the character might not be what others have in mind. I see him as less shy than Bandee, with dreams of being a fighter from the get-go. A bit upset that the parasol is his only weapon, but he learns to make good use of it. Also, he drinks grape juice instead of apple juice.

Oh well that's it for now. From this point forward all entries will be posted in this blog. Thanks for reading!

The Sworn Partners for God's Sake

i am SOOOO ecstatic w/ how this came out! i decided to participate in @das-a-kirby-blog 's DTIYS since i needed some fun artistic challenge in my life. i will put all my thoughts below the cut because i need to yap but please look at this image for atleast 5 seconds since i spent like 25 hours on it <3

sketching this alone took some thought since i had to adjust the canvas multiple times to make sure everything fit properly. i've never drawn alot of these characters ngl, so i was a bit nervous going in so suddenly. i wanted to make all the past villians more, well, villainous looking so i just added some crazed expression and dynamic poses. i especially like how i did susie ngl. like shes giggling so wickedly i love. i gave kirby a more confused expression while bandee is in his usual worried state of mind. i also decided to make meta and dedede make sexual eye contact as lovers sworn partners. however... i decided to take dark crafter and yinyarn out back before telling them to close their eyes because, tbh, i really dont give a fuck about either of them. marx and magolor felt like much more fitting choices in the section of past kirby antagonist as i would consider them far more impactful (and fun to draw) than the ladder pair. also added blade knight cuz sword knight was there and he wasnt?? smh. oh and vul is smoking lmao.

the hardest thing in this entire piece was the line art. originally i did all my lines in black just because it's easier on the eyes when crafting all the pieces together before i layer a blue merge layer on top. i questioned whether or not to use the lineart as both eye-black and metal highlight/shadow but im incredibly happy with the result.

coloring became a tricky subject since my art utilizes very bright, vibrant colors with high chroma. i wanted to stay true to the og by only using the base colors but just... tweaking them a lil bit. i cant resist a good highlight in my art. when it came to nightmare and meta's cape, i am a longtime subscriber to the hc that meta is like his "son" in a way so i wanted to make a nod to that by making the gradient and star-design pattern of their cloaks the same.

to be honest, this was so much fun. but holy SHIT my back is on fire. shoutout to anyone who actually read this monstrosity of an artist's explanation, ur a real one. thank you guys so much for ur support and ill see yall eventually with another dumb kirby post <3.

[drumdash]

Balloon Possessed Prince Dedede, I burst out laughing, especially with KC Waddle Dee and Meta's expressions

King Doo lookw very cool too haha

Ride or Die!!!!

PRINCE DDD'S HAMMAR!!!

Thank for answering!!!

Also want to ask the relationship between Meta and KC Waddle Dee, since it would likely be pretty different to King Dedede and Kirby

meta & the king are pals ^.^ hes a frequent visitor to the castle (mostly for bothering dedede) but he enjoys sparring and training with king dee & hes happy to pass on his knowledge in return, even if he thinks meta should be learning with only starry knight instead lol

at the end of the day ..... he is still kirby

[madsmadart]

(Repost from 2023)

I had this comic planned months ago, but I didn't like how it flowed so I changed the script. Sketching Dedede's expression was tough, but worth it!

[smashy-headcanons]

Speaking of "assemble the fighters there's another apocalypse happening", I have been thinking once again about the beginning of World of Light, where everyone is assembled at the top. Specifically, the fact that we start at what's basically the middle of the conflict.

Even with the thirty or so people in this shot (the full cast in this scene is close to the roster size of Brawl, actually), this is only a handful of the full roster (even without DLC considered). Additionally, everyone is tense and in "final boss fight mode".

Mario and Bowser are both missing family members, Kirby and Dedede are present but Meta Knight isn't, and the only franchises with more than one character that has everyone present are the Donkey Kong and Kid Icarus franchises. It's readily apparent who's in it simply because it's what needs to happen and/or it's the right thing to do, and who's in it because it became personal based on facial expression alone. The newcomers who didn't go through SSE have no plan of action.

Also related to the "cutting in at the middle" thing is: it reminds me of the Subspace and Great Maze levels. I guess WoL kinda went "what if we made that the whole adventure, but expanded it and added a second one" and I love it for that.
