literally nobody:
me *guy who is hyperfixated on a starstruck odyssey listening to wbn for the first time*: you guys ever think about how similar eursulon is to gunnie miggles rashbax? in the way thats like "i need to leave this safe and comfortable life i am in so i can finally find myself, i need to leave on a quest, i need to know whats out there, i need to find myself, i need to find honor, i need to prove them all wrong" and also in the way thats like "i have left and by leaving i am forever physically and mentally changed, i have been hurt and beaten by the outside world, but i cannot return, i can never return until i find what im looking for, until i find myself"
can anyone hear me?

Ok but what if she went to waddle Dee town in the forgotten land and all the waddle Dee’s just accepted her because they are really nice and not rude and they accept her and she has fun and a good time please I really need this for her
i considered drawing something out to this, and making it a happy ending sort of thing, because i think this is extremely sweet as a concept and i understand the desire for it!
that said, i decided that it would be a disservice to the lore i'm building for her, my biology/magic headcanons, and also the waddle dees as a whole. i might still draw it some day, because i could absolutely perceive a way it would work (ie: all waddle dee signatures messed up by Elfilis's portals, or their magic sensitivity nuked by it.) and i think it would be lovely
but for now, i have too many other things on the backburner to get to this promptly, and i wanted to answer this one sooner rather than leaving it for months
i will say, they're not being rude to her! there might be the odd one or two who is a bit snide, but there are some of those in every society. as a general rule the waddle dees not only understand that she is struggling, they want to accept and help her. many of them even know she's lonely, and feel pretty bad about it. but it's hard, and not just because she makes people uneasy!
i draw parallels with starstruck's gummed up magical signature to autism, as i'm autistic and so by merit (as a sona), so is she. but there are some parts that do not line up with the way autism functions in our world, and one of them is that touching or being around her can be genuinely, literally painful for some of the very sensitive waddle dees.
despite that, her waddle dee doctors actually pushed through it while she was in the castle dedede infirmary. because they were determined to treat her (mostly-surface-seeming) injuries and help her feel better. and they apologised for the reactions that they couldn't control anymore than she could control her signature; the various "sorry"s she parrots in this comic are implied to be from waddle dee doctors.
it's a fine line in alien-storytelling, especially with a real world disability parallel, and i'm trying to tread it as carefully as i can. but i don't intend to villainise the waddle dees at all for their reaction to her; they truly can't help it. many of them even do their best to push through it if she comes into their vicinity, especially because she often arrives with Beloved Celebrity, Captain Bandana Waddle Dee. but like a lot of us, she can tell when she's being tolerated, and so as a rule she just sort of tries to avoid it, one way or another

Watching Starstruck Odyssey for the first time and just hit the poker scene. Evidently I was laughing so hard that my family thought I was screeching in pain.

rewatching some random Adventuring Party in the background (mostly to provide my bird some entertainment while I do other stuff) and I realized:
in the first AP for Starstruck both Brennan and Zac know about Zac’s actual PC, but at this point the audience and the rest of the cast only know what went down in ep1 and its cliffhanger.
so Brennan asking Zac about his character and Zac being purposefully but not noticeably vague like “oh Amercadia was an interesting faction and a pilot sounded cool!” etc makes it so so so much funnier watching this knowing that they are both fully aware of the actual situation
