#i will draw more of the team kirby sometime

[maybe-arts]

this year Feminism Wins since last year i had to cut Mage Sisters out of similar prompt.

and yes and no, it is kind of a kirby down below in terms that it's a Beam Mage teammate from Kirby Clash games - except I'm making her (as well as the other three, only Sword Hero gets to keep the name Kirby) a separate character. Her name is Kora <3

[desultory-novice]

I like the shifting gold veins. Its like his splintered body is ever-shifting, barely holding itself together. Great contrast to a more static Clockwork Mags.

...! I like that, actually! Let's go with that!

You're right about the parallels/contrast with Clockwork Mags too. Didn't even think of that when drawing them but it's clever!

Speaking of, their friendship dynamics have swapped sides too...

-

Mechalor still loves to shock people without remorse. (Sometimes literally "shock.") And he lies, like, all the time. "KIRBY, DID YOU KNOW... <tells blatant falsehood with a straight face>?" types.

Marx...doesn't really like to mess with people that much anymore. He finally knows what it feels like to hurt and be hurt and it turns out, that's not fun at all. That and, at least from Marx's perspective, his Master Crown scars defeat the "harmless, innocent" facade he used to use to get away with everything. (No one actually minds them, mind you, but to him, it ruined a part of his gimmick.)

As a result, he's now the one who puts a damper on Magolor's unending stream of hijinks and bad ideas.

Mechalor finds this change in his friend a little dull ("WE HAD SO MANY PLANS. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?") but he keeps up his reationship with Marx despite their new differences because...

...Marx was the only one who knew him really well before the Nova incident. Unlike the apologetic Main Game Magolor, Mechalor has failed in his attempts to make a serious apology/gain real friends. (Kirby cares about literally everyone, but Mechalor can't seem to bond with Taranza or Susie or Bandee or the others...) When they're all together, he's treated somewhat like "the annoying team robot that no one can turn off." (even though he's more like a cyborg.)

To his surprise, this doesn't actually bother him! But that's because he seems to be losing touch with his humanity. That Marx is the only one who insists on calling him Mags/Magolor despite Mechalor's attempts to get him to stop pulls a wire in Mechalor's clockwork heart that he just can't bare to cut loose. So lets himself share with Marx the kinds of thoughts he's...not sure how to tell anyone else. 

(Meanwhile, Marx, when he's not resting off the pain, talks to him about this new dream he's got to se up The Grand Marx Circus.)

--

As for their status as a potential couple in this AU, they probably were boyfriends - in the past. They're something else now that they can't quite figure out. To Mechalor relationships are very "???." He can't even process how he might be Marx's boyfriend again like this. (But that's just part of the whole "losing himself" up above.) Marx also knows they can't just "go back to before" but he can't forget and will still come up with reasons to nuzzle up to Magolor.

MHA General Dorm Head canons

General Headcanons of life in the Class 1A dorm, _______________________________________________ SFW//Fluff?//purely domestic and friendship dynamics// (read more for long post) _______________________________________________ The main living area has one communal blue tooth speaker- it's constantly causing fights- and is the main tool for trolling and annoying everyone in the 1A dorm...

-There's constantly some two students fighting over who connects their playlists to play, (Denki and Mina mostly).  Everyone agrees to have a shared Dorm playlist, Jiro ends up making this playlist and adds everyone's favourite songs and bands to keep everyone happy...

This however has been used for purely chaotic actions like - Kaminari playing Smash mouth (original -_-) at  2am after a dare gone wrong... Bakugou definitely made enough noise to drown out the speaker, and the speaker was quickly confiscated by Aizawa the next morning. 

Jiro will practice her instruments, however she often still gets shy- so she always has an ear jack plugged into her bedroom door and if she hears footsteps close she immediately stops playing and gets flustered. She'll sit and wait for the traffic to stop before she continues. The class discovered this and now is extremely quiet so they don't throw her off, and so they can hear her amazing music through their thin dorm walls (they love their punk rock classmate so much!)  

Everyone, both boys and girls have a silent pact that they protect (mostly) the girls' rooms from Mineta. Todoroki and Deku have unfortunately on numerous occasions caught Mineta outside one of the girls' closed dorm rooms, eavesdropping on their sleepovers. Let's just say Mineta backed right off after that, quickly realizing that he wasn't going to get anywhere with the strongest and talented boys and girls in the school breathing down his neck for being a creep. :(

Deku has a huge whiteboard on wheels in his room that Todoroki stole from general studies for him so he can right and erase notes as he pleases, Sometimes Deku will roll it into the main living room and use it for study sessions, -

Iida bought him nice, coloured whiteboard markers after deku’s one single black marker got harder and harder to read as he kept squeezing in more: "important notes and information" onto the one board.

Also with the whiteboard. - While Midoriya out training, Tsuyu, Tokoyami, Uraraka and Todoroki will draw little scribbles and cute sketches over it in the spare spaces, Midoriya hasn't erased any of them yet, and when he has to, he always takes photos of them before he takes them off!

The Dekusquad and the Baku-squad constantly having super smash bros tournaments on a friday night, however with an overwhelming skill gap towards the bakusquad; Sero and Kaminari will often jump and play for team Deku instead. The best super smash bros players being Sero, Kirishima, Bakugou, Todoroki, Denki, Deku, and Tsuyu is very good at playing exclusively, kirby.

Mock cooking shows with Sato, where Sato often tries to get his classmates to bake something edible while avoiding disaster..... Kaminari is now banned from using the oven and stovetop...

(I believe i've seen this written somewhere else before, but I live for this one so i'm carrying it on) Sero and Mina always have their dorm room open through the day so anyone can come in to talk or vent, and of course mostly chill. However only a few certain people have hammock privileges in Seros room.

Iida and Momo have made a copy of all of their notes combined across all classes, they got Midoriya to help organise it into a binder - that sits on the kitchen counter so anyone can use it to study or review notes they might have missed. It was mocked for about one week for being the nerdiest thing ever- but now Kaminari and Sero fight over who gets to use it and it's now the dorm room's ‘bible’.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love domestic and slice of life headcanons so this was a treat, I would write this stuff forever so feel free to request more!

Lowkey will write more on my own accord anyway

My old Kirby OC character Maya knight. there is more other oc characters in my deviant art. 

https://www.deviantart.com/meta-kaz/gallery/52845277/kirby-fancharcter-ref

Name: Maya Knight Race: Puffball Gender: Female Age: ????  26 in human years

Weapons and abilities: Great Sword Guardia ( I decide the remove  the transformation into Gladius form. because I don't think I'm going to use this. ) Different between Day and Night - Maya knight Is more powerful at night than day. During the day her power is unchanged. She can detect any form of energy, such as emotional and environmental. Wings: This is what she looks like without her cape, and you can see her long, flowing hair. Her oddly shaped wings do not deter her flight ability. The rings visible on her arms are the Moon Abyss Stones, it's only use to control her power correctly without getting the supply energy out of control. The Moon Abyss Stone or Core of Gaia is a gem that came from the underworld, and cannot be found elsewhere. It can only be wielded by someone with high spiritual energy. It helps Maya control her powers correctly, but you better not mess with her when the rings are absent, because it means a lot to her, though she still relies on them. One may wear one for luck, for health, for strength or for protection. Spirit Chains - Spirit Chain are one of must powerful weapons that can destroy or capture evil forces, people's soul who is imprisoned by supernatural beings. It can move like a snake; silent, very fast, invisible. Only Maya can see it and those who have aura-like senses can see it too. She can command several at one time, and there is no limit as to how many can exist at once. There is three phases: the first is harmless, use only for detecting energy. The second can cause pain, but without long-term damage. The third is a death sentence; once an individual is bound in their chains, they are only capable of breathing unless Maya commands so. The Abyss crystals - Maya can summon shards from the ground and target at enemies like missiles. Like: Drawing, salmon, sushi, travelling around the world. She likes to be with her friends, being alone (sometimes), walking and meditating. dislike: Being bored, evil forces. Personality: She is calm, intelligent, honest, steadfast and loyal. Maya can be stubborn when she has something in her mind. She never leaves her friends behind. Maya is mostly independent but she can work with a team. She takes thoughts into careful consideration and be serious and straightforward in needed times.

Ridiculous Kirby Headcanons

Unashamedly silly headcanons featuring the dream team with little to no basis that I can not fit into a fanfic at the time. In no particular order at all with cherry picking from various Kirby media.

Potential Bandana Dee backstories for why he is so high ranking

Adoption into position after Crystal Shards

Literally just walked up and said he's the new kings advisor one day and King Dedede said "K"

Found as child and Dad instinct says protect him, but King Dedede doesn't want to admit to having soft spot at the time so Bandee gets funky title and such.

Made King Dedede a cake and it was so tasty he made Bandana Dee the highest position he could

Just happened to be the closest Waddle Dee and kept getting more responsibilities. Ended up being good at it, it became an official job.

Things that would be funny if Meta Knight didn't know how/what to do, but Galaxia did

How to cook, however all of Galaxia's recipes and advice are ancient so it just looks like Meta is bad at this

A whole language that Meta Knight is pretending to know but it's just Galaxia translating for him the whole time

Dancing

Any weapon besides the sword, assuming Galaxia can still help him if he isn't holding her

Random and obscure facts that make Meta Knight seem well-read

Misc.

Meta Knight's favorite flavor is chocolate. He thinks it's a secret. Everyone in dreamland knows this is a fact.

Meta Knight and King Dedede, despite being highly intelligent in their respective fields, have the world's stupidest internet search history.

King Dedede has every clothing item in every color in animal crossing. He exclusively wears custom designs and the two very expensive crowns. His wand outfits are cosplays.

Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight have equal drawing ability

Bandana Dee has eaten something, such as a leaf, to see if he could have a copy ability like Kirby.

Kirby has a random fear that pops up sometimes that if he eats a certain food he will gain a copy ability from it and become that food.

Meta Knight owns a pair of stilts. He did not buy these

Kirby has broken into his friends' bedrooms to have impromptu sleepovers

Meta Knight accidentally confuses the names of the members of his crew in much the same way a parent might say their dog's name instead of their child's. Nobody corrects him.

King Dedede is excellent at reading people because he discovered it gives him an advantage at chess and some other games he is determined to win

Waddle Dees learned their "charge at you and attempt to tackle" attack from King Dedede

Bandana Dee prints out fanfiction and binds them. He does not admit to reading fanfiction

Despite being a horrible cook, Kirby has learned to deep fry foods scarily well

King Dedede and Kirby recommend each other cooking shows. Meta Knight watches them too but will never say anything about it

Bandana Dee collects souvenirs from his adventures such as really cool rocks

Kirby has a better range of taste buds than an average human. This does not mean he has better tastes in food than an average human

King Dedede has attempted to get a pet dragon for his castle as all castles deserve a dragon. Kirby was 100% on board with this idea.

Meta Knight plays Cookie Clicker casually

Bandana Dee can not hover because he can not hold his breath. He can swim because he does not necessarily need air

Daroach sometimes sleeps on the Halberd without telling anyone, wakes up on a different planet, leaves to steal stuff, and accidentally gets abandoned on the planet leading him to have to call either his squad or Meta Knight to go pick him up.

Susie has modded video games involving robots as bad guys to make it so the robots win

Sailor Waddle Dee was the Waddle dee who stole Kirby's cake in squeak squad and has told nobody about this

Magolor makes prank DIY videos that encourage stuff like microwaving metal. Taranza falls for these posts.

Marx only texts in L33t speak

Kirby's past friends do visit him or call him at least once a month and on his birthday

Kirby owns Kirby merch. So does Bandana Dee.

Meta Knight has never gotten rid of a gift from a friend. He has many shoeboxes filled with crayon drawings from Kirby

King Dedede can draw realistically however gets too bored to finish the picture unless it's something he is really passionate about

Bandana Dee and Meta Knight are fishing buddies. Kirby and King Dedede are too technically but they keep falling asleep

Meta Knight rage quits Co-op games with the rest of the dream team.

Kirby has all of his friend's favorite foods memorized

The only person to ever beat King Dedede at chess is Kirby. Kirby has only played chess once and needed his friends to tell him how the pieces moved every time

Meta Knight can't drive and that's why he hired Captain Vul

King Dedede shows affection through gifts, mostly food related. Bandana Dee shows affection through acts of service. Kirby shows his affection in many ways, but especially physical affection. Meta Knight shows affection by rigorously training those he cares about so they can defend themselves

Marx has attacked someone else for being a food thief. He has standards and stealing food is a line one shouldn't cross. Marx has stolen food before and will do it again.

At least one of the Meta Knights' names aren't their real name, however they never corrected anyone and so it just kinda stuck

Bandana Dee has good attention to detail which allows him to find an absurd amount of 4 leaf clovers

Kirbtober 2023 Day 20 - Favorite Episode

oh of course the saddest episode is my favorite episode

"I still remembered how Smile died. I just wonder... if one day I can see him again... but I can't really go back to it... sometimes I don't even remember how he died. All I know is he is already dead..."

Prompts by @paintpanic and @peachsupremeart Fused list compiled by @desultory-novice (click here for the list!)

...wait, WHAT? THAT ROBOT PET COMES BACK IN TU?!

Yep, just... rebuild but still carries the same memory data due to Escargoon and Gengu having something to do with it... but Smile only woke up years later after that. It's a long story.

In fact, he is named Smile, based on this fact I found at the Kirby Wiki (which I don't know if it's true or not):

The background is also derived from this deleted scene that was in WiKirby's gallery page of the episode!

I could have added more details... but my energy is drained all over, so yeah, sorry for the rather half-hearted effort. But it's definitely there.

I knew I forgot something when I designed the team's future design back then... it's the freaking nose

...tomorrow's Sunday and we had to go out, so I might just draw one favorite character. Ironically... I have a lot. I would have drawn more but alas.

I accepted this sub jobstudying IA to protect teacher. I did so I can find a way to protect artist and now I feel like I understand stuff to help us.

So, I talked about it. I have to study IA mecanism and (kinda) reverse engineer it has part of my job had the new member of the plagiat prevention team (aka, a bunch of university engineer nerd stuck in an old bulding with computer). I have to understand ways it work so we can teach people how to recognize IA art and prevent cheating in university.

I feel like I am going through a whole arc so quickly about it (call me DR. Strangelove) but let me give you a good and a bad news about what I have gather that can help all artist:

Bad news about IA art softwares :

Delecting your art from your blog, website, internet WON'T prevent his internalisation in the machine.

Story time: I was doing my usual report the other day (I have to do report for Eric the math guys who study ChatGPT) and I saw pass a submission with a drawing in it. Obviously not the OP art because I recognize it. It is Leahfuhrman, love his work, they delected their blog after IA ressurgence to prevent the machine from learning his art style... Wait... THEY DELECTED THEIR BLOG TO PREVENT EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HIM NOW. So yeah, people keep other people artwork sometime, I know I do for inspiration when internet is off, but I won't repost it, or send art to an IA (except mine for test but I am not a good artist anyways). But people who are less involve and less educated about it 100% do.

You are not safe by delecting your art. (BTW, If you come across LeahFurhMan. Tell him it happen with his art and I am sorry to be a witness to that)

Good news about IA Art Softwares:

HE SUCK AT FANART !

None of the try software can draw me a Kirby, and this is kirby ! everybody love kirby, he is the easiest to draw and it is not like nobody know him, he is kinda famous.

And the more obscure your blorbo is, the less likely he can draw something even CLOSE to it. The IA is actually really confuse about character who aren't IRL people. He mistake franchise, character and even type of game and when he cannot draw you what you want, he either give you a mess or a waifu for... Internet reason I do know.

By the ways I take that time to ask you. Do you have question about thoses IA ? Do you have idea or curiosity for me to study for you ?

Unlucky, the state I live in, hate artist and is pro IA. I would love a legislation to pass about it and be able to input my own experience but the truth is : The state kinda want to cut our fund right now...

Because we are kinda bothering them being a bunch of engineer free thinker, left wing, helping education and they might believe we are communist wanting to share knowledge for free (which I am lmao).

So really. I want to help artist, maybe I can help on any kind of apply pressure.

Bonus good news ?

IA software censor more and more word to not be ask to draw pornography but also combinaisons of word :

For exemple you cannot put "Woman" and "Raptor" (Yes I know it is specific but I was thinking about jurrasic park) in the same sentence, because it is really scare of porn, again.

So if you see massive cock art or soft nudity of any kind, be assured, it is not IA !

Four: The Simpler, The Better.

HE’S COMING HOME

For my fourth campaign, I chose He’s Coming Home – a campaign created by Women’s Aid to help raise awareness about the rise in domestic abuse surrounding football matches, in particular big footballing events such as the World Cup. 

According to a study by the University of Lancaster, ‘violent domestic abuse incidents increase by 38% when England lose or 26% when the team wins or draws’ (Kirby, S and Birdsall, N. 2022)

Despite this campaign not being on the same topic and not using any of the same methods we are planning to use in our group, this campaign was one that I felt really impact me and felt I must include in my research.  

The simplicity behind the video, left an even more unsettling feeling with me as a viewer than if I had instead seen the abuse on the screen. The use of a common looking cul-de-sac in the UK drives home the idea that domestic abuse can in streets that look just like your own. In a study by Gov.uk, ‘In the year ending March 2020, 5.5% of people aged 16 to 74 in England and Wales experienced domestic abuse in the 12 months before being surveyed.’ (2021), again representing the unfortunate commonness of the occurrence of domestic abuse. 

A campaign such as this one represents that you don’t always need lots of elements to a campaign to make it impactful, and that sometimes less is more.

Random thoughts and things about Forgotten Lands (yes it include spoilers):

These are in a non-specific order since they just happen to pop into my mind.

What kind of beef does Meta Knight have a against Gorimondo so that he beats him up 30 times?!

Gosh the waddle dee noises are so cute!

Fuck you HAL and your circles! /lh

You bet if there's more voice acting in the future then it'll be terrifying as hell.

Those damn waddle dees during the food rush mini game when you fail should be grateful I'm trying since that was the only damn restuarant in the whole village.

I'm sure there was character development somewhere with Dedede and Meta, I can't pin point what it is.

I have too many drawing ideas thanks to this game.

I would like to mention that the waddle dees had to summon a portal in the Colosseum while casually letting you fight in it, but no one can watch you expect for the waiting room in between each fight. (They or Elfilin most likely had to drag you out there when you lose)

Phantom Dedede's fight is actually a challenge for me sometimes.

The Morpho Knight sword is so over powered man.

I love the transition between angles in the Meta Knight fight and how he beats you up like in smash bros.

The team working on this game really utilized the fact that it's a 3D game.

The interview was really good to read to get an idea how development went, and knowing how much the devs really care for this franchise.

I love how fast pace the Clawroline fight was!

Sillydillo was the first boss to beat my ass.

We probably would see more Elfilin appearances seeing how he's important to how dimension traveling works between his and kirby's world.

Elfilis is beautiful.

Shadow the Hedgehog has another rival.

Beating every boss hitless is going to be a pain. (I’ve only done the first 3, thank god it doesn’t apply to the final one)

My morpho knight ramble

Also is Galacta Knight dead? I’m pretty sure he most likely is…

Morpho is shown to take some power of whoever he possess apparently. (It’s amazing how he was suppose be shown so many years ago.)

I can breeze through the Z cup almost easily thanks to the Morpho sword, (I blame Gorimondo, Meta, Dedede, and Morpho for my mess ups) but that final final boss got me twice already and by that time I already used my tomatoe and double health already.

I think most of us can agree that katfl played our hearts twice thinking 2 characters has died

Loving lore with the figurines even the ones without ‘em

I smile a bit everytime I see Dedede do that animation when he runs on all fours. It's hilarious.

This:

[desultory-novice]

Have you ever just looked at a unimportant character no one cares about, and you just go

“They could have so much depth”

- the necrodeus anon

...I've been passively trying to come up with a compelling backstory for Brobo of all characters so yeah, I do...

Jokes aside (though I was being serious about Brobo!) I sympathize, Necrodeus fan! Some people might notice that I don't ever seem to draw the Dream Team as a whole? Or even all that much indidivually.

It's not because I don't love them. In contrast, I love them all sooooo much! But I also know that as a fan-artist (1) I don't NEED to do anything for them. They're so important to the, err, "brand" that I'm going to get my daily dosage of Kirby and others being cute by checking Twitter for merch announcements!

King Dedede, who is not as well loved by merch as the other three, gets a lot of fan-made content exploring his backstory, relationships, traumas etc, so I'm feasting on his majesty that way! (...I-is that phrasing too weird?)

It might seem weird to position myself like I'm some champion of giving minor characters depth when I draw a lot of Magolor and Marx, characters who are also showered in love and attention. But as much as I love jester boy, I know that for a variety of reasons, Marx is still in the exact same tier of cameo character as Daroach is, regardless of the difference in merch-love and fan content for the two. Neither of them are going to top the list for "characters to make important in the next Kirby game." That's just facts.

That's why, instead of producing a whole bunch of Meta Knight content, even though I do have ideas for him, I lean towards characters who were important once and are likely never to be important again. (The exception is Magolor, who has been made so important lately, he's likely to stay a reoccurring character. My excuse there is just that I'm biased. (2) Though even I start to feel his spread too much lately? He's trended on JP Twitter twice this last month and I don't even think it was for anything special.)

I LOVE Elfy but I didn't have much for them in the wake of FL's release because Elfy was everywhere I turned. A year later the fire has died down somewhat and I'm ready to write and draw more about Elfy in a relatively collected way. It's weird but sometimes hot news characters can turn into unimportant characters?!

I wasn't here for this, but Daroach was an important figure in two games, back to back! Imagine at that point, he must have seemed like frickin' Magolor to people! Isn't that wild? And the Animal Friends too! They WERE Kirby's friends, allies, family, supporting cast! They were Kirby's everything! ...Fast forward to the years between 64 and Star Allies and it's like... who?

And even then, trying to "spread the love around" is something I have to make a conscious effort to do, and I still know I'm WAY lacking in this department! I'm sorry, my other precious blorbos! Someday I will give you all each the visual masterpiece you are deserving of!

--

A thought struck me, as I watched a longplay of Kirby's Pinball, Kirby's Blockball and Kirby's Dream Course (three games I didn't play because even as a Kirby fan, young Dess avoided anything that reminded me of "sports.") that there are more "tiers" of Kirby characters than I typically think of!

If you love even the non-Dedede and non-Magolor last bosses or if you love the Dream Friends, you're still eating good. Because in the early games, our "supporting cast" to develop were things like the Poppy Bros, Squishy, Broom Hatter, and Kabu!

And I LIKE those guys! I like the Helpers! I like Wheelie and I like Bonkers! I mean, Chilly, right?! We all love Chilly! These guys were actually treated as kinda important in the older games! (The older manga gave focus to them too.) They didn't have compelling narratives out of the box, but they were staples in Kirby's world!

Have I ever drawn something for them? Have I ever stopped to think up a story about Simirror or Gim...? I'm not trying to guilt anyone or myself. After all, they really don't have compelling narratives, and I think you'd have to do some serious stretching to come up with one. (It might be a little easier for Gigant Edge and Bonkers and Mr. Frosty since they all spent time in the Forgotten Land...)

--

I think what I'm getting at is that we, who love characters who were important, if only for a single game, are kind of blessed to have that experience. Even if it's only for the length of the Milky Way Wishes sub-game or Mass Attack's main campaign. Our favorites were the shining stars with their own arc: triumphant rise and downfall.

So of course we want to plumb their depths! We got attached! And we're still better off than the Brobo fans or... dare I say it... the GRYLL FANS who dearly love a tough as nails last boss with a great design and... that's it...? We Gryll fans (because I am one of them) have pretty much had to make up their character whole cloth.

(On that note, even Gryll being non-binary is not a 100% canon thing. Gryll's just a character who we know so little about, even their gender is "unknown." There are artists all over the world who have settled on either a strictly fem or strictly masc interpretation for our onion witch. Though I prefer enby Gryll and am actually pretty confident that should they make a future appearance, the official localization will go that way themselves.)

For a long time, what informed Gryll's character was "Gryll introduces themselves with the same line that Marx does. Marx Soul and Drawcia Soul share the same attacks. All three use magic. Maybe these three who have never interacted know each other?!" That is, as far as I'm aware, the "origin" of the semi-popular HC that Marx and Gryll are friends/rivals/pseudo-siblings and both of them know/respect/fear Drawcia.

When Magolor came along and hinted he knew Marx, suddenly that lent some credence to all the magic-users knowing each other. Then Taranza came in with some weird hints of his own about knowing Magolor, and then Drawcia started to get pushed out because she was a little bit less "fun" seeming than the others...?

But I want to highlight that this is all made up!!

And I think it was made up because of people like us. People who still hold fondness for the characters that sparked their imagination and, because they were never likely to appear again, started making connections between other benchwarmers.

:cough: currently in the middle of a lengthy comic connecting Adeleine and Dark Matter Swordsman :cough:

--

I'm not going to say that we "keep the fandom going" or are somehow more important than people who just draw gorgeous fanart of Kirby. Everyone please keep doing that, btw! (Although it's funny that prolific Kirby fanart master, Suyasuyabi, will often draw these bottom-tier no-personality characters alongside Kirby. We don't get to see what motivates Chip or Blipper but we do get gorgeous visuals of them just living their lives) But our weird little hyperfixations are valuable and do have a purpose!

Still, if we want depth for the non-tier 0 characters, we will need to act on it. We can be helped along by inspiration from other people via weird, off-hand ideas that will make you think "Oh my god, wait what?! Oh, that's PERFECT!"(2) but your brain is going to be the one that makes the most fulfilling connections to you. Thus, my "compelling Brobo backstory" quest.

(I'm currently thinking he could be made by King Dedede? His majesty has a way with robots, after all. Or DOES he? What if there's a person or a place or a Weapon Shop Waddle Dee or Planet Mecheye that his majesty goes to to make his golf robots, blockball robots, and rocket hammer??)

-

Have I mentioned this about myself? As everyone knows by now, I'm one of the oldies. Not old as in I've been in the fandom forever. I've only been here for like, a year or two? But I am physically older than the rest of the people I know here, at least. But I only started drawing a few months before officially joining the fandom. (I did write fanfic when I was much younger but I hate all of it. Whee!)

Part of the reason I started drawing at my age was when it finally hit me that I would have these utterly brilliant ideas for cool things! "Oh my gosh, this would be SO perfect for X!" And I would patiently wait for someone to make this same connection and draw or write something for it that I could then love...!

:insert crickets chirping:

And...yeah... This could basically summarize my participation in my last fandom. Now, I actually wrote a lot of essays/answereds some ask questions. I didn't just sit quietly in the corner. But no matter how much I emphasized "This is a really cool thing more people should do something with!!" no one, outside of my one fandom friend, ever did.

I began to despair that maybe no talented artist/writer would ever come along and wave their magic brush/magic pen and fill me up with serotonin in accordance with my dreams. And it's a good thing I realized that because, oops, that's actually kind of true?!

Anyway, not to hammer on Dess's Philosopy of Fandom: that you should make the works you most want to see, regardless of how poor a job you do at the beginning but... yeah, actually. That.

Anyway, keep giving depth to characters! In whatever form you can!

I want to say once more to everyone who follows me and likes my art that I learned all this in like... two years. It just takes obsession :cough: dedication. But yeah, also obsession.

Also insomnia and sacrificing your free time to devouring every piece of beautiful art you come across and dissecting it lovingly. You can do the same with fiction, if you lean more towards writing. Not that I am recommending anyone pick up my regemin...

...Regemen? Regimin? RrrghI JUST looked up this word the other day. How could I have forgotten how to spell it so quickly?!

Aha! It's "Regimen."

...Wow. That's not how I pronounce it at all.

--

--

(1) Note that I seemed to talk a lot about drawing fan art up above, because to me, that IS giving them depth. When you draw a character participating in a hobby, enjoying a certain food, or talking with another character, you are giving them depth! You're rounding them out and making them feel whole!

(2) Another reason I draw a lot of Magolor is that I follow a bunch of obsessive Magolor fans on twitter who seem to do almost nothing but speculate on things that could have happened to Magolor all day(?) Just the other day, someone wrote something like "What if Magolor didn't immediately threaten to take over Popstar in front of Kirby et al? What if he just calmly took over Halcandra on his own and then realized too late that he couldn't take off the crown?"

I found that idea so compelling that five minutes later, I was scribbling this script down...

So, yeah. I want to apologize because for all of my nattering up there, it really isn't all that fair across the board when you like an unloved, unimportant character because the popular characters ALSO get talked about more, which leads to more sparks of inspiration and opportunities to explore ideas and plumb their depths. And that does suck. It just does. It can drain the inspiration you have to work on growing your favorites and make you feel alone and unloved yourself until the love you once felt for your beloved fictional muse is more like a heart-shaped hole in your chest...

...On the bright side, sometimes you can use another character's popularity to grow the less important characters too! I saw another gorgeous and scary comic (in JP) the other day about Magolor and the Master Crown that treated Dark Nebula as a cruel, dangerous, highly intelligent and threatening rival to both of them!! How awesome was that?!

So yeah, try riding the coattails of popular characters to make your favorite blorbo more interesting! Merry Magoland as much as confirms that Magolor has interacted with a stunning amount of Kirby characters. Use the squishsy wizard egg's popularity for your own benefit! (You could argue that's what I do with Marx all the time! Use Magolor's constant appearances to loop Marx into his activities and keep Marx relevant/give him stuff to do...!)

So, what WOULD the fandom's darling think of X canon character we don't see enough of? Or King Dedede. Or Meta Knight. Make connections between the characters that everyone is devouring up content for and draw people's attention that way!

--

This is a bit of a silly thing but... my Dark Matter + Adeleine comic-in-progress? The actual base comic did really CRAZY numbers! To the point that it's not even a month old and it's almost as popular as my most popular post! (That being my "moon's haunted" meme I drew when Forgotten Land came out - and oh.my.god it looks so bad?! I want to redraw it just to wipe off the shame... I feel that way about a couple of my more popular pieces tbh...)

Legitimately one of the reasons it became so popular initially was because it featured King Dedede in a sympathetic role. So it got boosted by certain Dedede fans and, not to diminish my own talent, spread way further than it would have on my art/storytelling abilities alone! (To which I'm thankful. And also, I love Dedede myself and love seeing him in serious roles, so it all worked out.)

Anyway, I hope that proved entertaining and maybe a little hopeful?

LU Headcanons: Smash Ultimate Mains

There are multiple for each one because there are over 80 smash characters and more than one fit each of their vibes and I personally have a whole team of characters that I like to fight as.

Wind: Young Link, Meta Knight, Minecraft Steve, Sonic, he is a child, he plays characters that a gamer kid would play, also he hero worships Time so of course he’d play as baby Time because it’s funny. He prefers fast characters to ones that are super strong and has different moves that he spams constantly. Aside from Young Link he refuses to play children. But when they go for an all Zelda character round, he’s Toon Link. 

Four: Tends to go for characters that are multiples in one, like the ice climbers or duck hunt or Banjo and Kazooie or Rosalina and Luma. He gets bullied into playing Hero because of their matching haircuts, He also occasionally plays as Olimar because he’s just a little nature alien that uses throws little alien plant people at everyone else. He draws the line at being bullied into playing Little Mac. 

Hyrule: Likes cute cartoon characters like Yoshi and Megaman and Sora, also tends to go for a lot of Pokemon like Pikachu and the Pokemon trainer, he also sometimes plays as Lucas because he’s just a scared little kid with magic and that Hyrule identifies with a little bit. He also goes for that one Fire Emblem character that does magic and turns into a dragon, I literally cannnot tell those bitches apart. 

Sky: Likes little characters that can fly, like Kirby and Pit and Bowser Jr. but he couldn’t not main Cloud. I mean seriously, his name and big sword is the perfect fit for Sky. I also think that he would play Peach because he likes how cutesy and nonviolent she is despite being in a fighting game. I mean seriously her main weapons are her ass and her parasol and a golf club.  

Warriors: Okay he only plays as those Fire Emblem sword bitches, Ike and Marth and Lucina and all that shit. He plays as any prettyboy sword bitch in the game, including Shulk and Cloud and Sepheroth, though he only plays as Sepheroth when Sky plays as Cloud. When he’s not a typical swordsmen character, he plays as Toon Link. He loves Toon Link for obvious reasons. 

Legend: Either goes for girls but especially magic girls... and that’s it. He plays as Zelda and Zero Suit Samus and Palutena and Bayonetta and Pyra/Mythra, but absolutely refuses to play as a Fire Emblem Character specifically out of spite for Warriors. He does play as Ness when Hyrule is Lucas. 

Time: Has not type, sure he has preferences but they don’t follow a pattern. Like he plays as Bowser and Sheik and Pac-Man and Min Min and there’s no similarities, he just likes them. Though he does like Bowser only because Malon has the little scarf clip that looks suspiciously similar... He likes Pac-Man because he’s old, and Sheik because he’s bisexual and Min Min because she has dragons and noodles and just perfect vibes. He will play as Young Link when it’s that wario stage that forces you to taunt because his taunts have him chugging milk and saying hi to Navi and that is pretty cute.

Twilight: Whatever vibes the Belmont's and Solid Snake have is Twilight’s theme, like buff bounty hunter/monster killer types, but also dogs, like Duck Hunt and Isabelle, and he has been bullied into playing as Wolf. Idk he either goes for the edgy buff dudes or puppies. He likes the living room stage but gets distracted by the animals in the background.  

Wild: He likes a bunch of the robot-y sci-fi characters, Like Samus and Dark Samus and R.O.B. He also thinks Ridley is cool. Sometimes he goes for the Fire Emblem character that comes in different genders (I think it’s Byleth but idk), He also plays as himself because he thinks its cool that he can. He likes that he can use bombs. Also his final smash is with a bow and arrow and that’s very Wild.

salesman • sapnap x reader fluff

used to be a door to door salesman, wanted to write a fic for it idk

pronouns : none really used ?

-

I drove along today's route in the company vehicle with my team in the car as well. We stopped at the last house on the list, everyone looking at me silently. "This one is on you, remember? Layla took the last house yesterday," one of my coworkers reminded me. I groaned and unbuckled my seatbelt. "Plus, if we're out for like 20 more minutes they have to pay us for the hour. Draw it out."

I nod and think about the money. "Okay, I'm going." I grab my clipboard and step out of the car, walking up to the door. I knock and wait.

Finally, a tall brunette man who looks about my age answers the door. His look of happiness kind of slips away, showing me I'm not who he expected to see. "Oh, uh, not interested."

I quickly stop him from closing the door, continuing my job of being annoying. 'I'm gonna get that bonus.' "If we could just talk for a moment, I promise I won't use too much of your time." He reluctantly keeps the door open. "Do you have carpet in your house?"

He rolls his eyes. "Nope, none at all. Guess I'm not your target demographic, huh?" He goes to close the door again.

"Just humor me!" I get in right before the door closes. "I'm trying to get an extra $17 on my paycheck." He chuckles and opens the door back up.

"All this for $17? Doesn't seem very worth it." He definitely wasn't wrong, but that $17 could be a good ass meal sometime next week.

"It's more worth it than you think. I've been working 40 minutes of this hour, I'm gonna get paid for it." The two of us laugh.

"So what are you selling?" He inquired.

"A state of the art vacuum that you can own for $2500! But because you know me, I'm sure I could get that marked down to $1500 if you buy it now." He chuckled, shaking his head.

"What's taking you so long?" A taller blonde came up behind him and looked at me. "You're not Karl."

"Do you need a vacuum?" The brunette jokingly asked his friend.

"Oh, are you selling those Kirby vacuums? They're terribly overpriced, don't buy one, Sapnap." The blonde said.

I chuckled. "But they are patented! It's impossible to get another vacuum that will work as well as these ones."

"Yeah, we're not really in need of a vacuum right now." I could tell he was trying to shoo me off, as most people do, but by now I had been out too long to not get paid for this hour.

"How about I bring out a model and I can show you how well it works? If you truly don't want it then, I'll leave." Much to the blonde's dismay, the brunette (or his friend referred to him, 'Sapnap') invited me in.

After walking to the truck and grabbing the box, I brought it inside and the boys walked me to a living area in the house. I checked my watch. 'Gotta draw this out for 13 more minutes.'

The taller one walked off, leaving me with Sapnap. "You don't actually have to do all that shit, it's fine. I just want you to get your $17." I chuckled as sat down on the spot he was patting.

"Thanks, it's appreciated. I'm Y/n, by the way." He smiled and let out a bit of a laugh.

"I know that, you have a name tag on." He pointed at it and I rolled my eyes.

"It's still nice to properly introduce yourself."

"Okay, fair. I'm Sapnap." We exchanged 'nice to meet you's and get to know each other a bit.

"You know, you should give me your number. For in case I want that vacuum, of course." I chuckled and pulled out one of the cards in my pocket, writing my number on the back.

"Here's the company number, my extension, and my hours... but my personal is on the back if you ever want more than just a vacuum."

"I might end up calling both." We both laughed before he saw me out. I got in the car with all of my stuff, my coworkers looking at me funny.

"What?" I asked.

"You're too happy for it be 8 pm on a Wednesday," one of them responds.

"Just happy about my $17."

MHA General Dorm Head canons

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main living area has one communal bluetooth speaker- its constantly causing fights and is the main tool for trolling and annoying everyone in the 1A dorm... -There's constantly some two students fighting over who connects their playlists to play (Denki and Mina mostly). Everyone agrees to have a shared Dorm playlist, Jiro ends up making this playlist and adds everyone's favourite songs and bands to keep everyone happy.

This however has been used for purely chaotic actions like - Kaminari playing Smash mouth (original -_-) at 2am after a dare gone wrong... Lets say Bakugou definitely made enough noise to drown out the speaker, and it was quickly confiscated by Aizawa the next morning.

Jiro will practice her instruments, however she often still gets shy- so she always has an ear jack plugged into her bedroom door and if she hears footsteps close she immediately stops playing and gets flustered. She'll sit and wait for the traffic to stop before she continues. The class discovered this and now is extremely quiet so they don't throw her off, and so they can hear her amazing music through their thin dorm walls (they love their punk rock classmate so much!)

Everyone, both boys and girls have a silent pact that they protect (mostly) the girls rooms from Mineta. Todoroki and Deku have unfortunately on numerous occasions caught Mineta outside one of the girls closed dorm room, eavesdropping on their sleepovers. Lets just say Mineta backed right off after that, quickly realising that he wasn't going to get anywhere with the strongest and talented boys and girls in the school breathing down his neck for being a creep. :(

Deku has a huge whiteboard on wheels in his room that Todoroki stole from general studies for him so he can right and erase notes as he pleases, Sometimes Deku will roll it into the main living room and use it for study sessions, Iida bought him nice coloured whiteboard markers after deku’s ones black marker got harder to read as he kept squeezing in more: "important notes and information" onto the board.

Also with the whiteboard. - While Midoriya out training, Tsuyu, Tokoyami, Uraraka and Todoroki will draw little scribbles and cute sketches over it in the spare spaces, Midoriya hasn't erased any of them yet, and when he has to he always takes photos of them!

The Dekusquad and the bakusquad constantly having super smash bros tournaments on a friday night, however with an overwhelming skill gap towards the bakusquad, sero and kaminari will often jump and play for team deku. The best super smash bros players being Sero, Kirishima, bakugou, todoroki, denki, deku, and tsuyu is very good at playing exclusively kirby.

Mock cooking shows with Sato, where Sato often tries to get his classmates to bake something edible while avoiding disaster..... Kaminari is now banned from using the oven and stovetop...

(I believe i've seen this written somewhere else before, but I live for this one so i'm carrying it on) Sero and Mina always have their dorm room open through the day so anyone can come in to talk or vent, and of course mostly chill. However only a few certain people have hammock privileges in Seros room.

Iida and Momo have made a copy of all of their notes combined across all classes, they got Midoriya to help organise into a binder - that sits on the kitchen counter so anyone can use it to study or review notes they might of missed. It was mocked for about one week for being the nerdiest thing ever- but now kaminari and sero fight over who gets to use it and its now the dorm room bible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love domestic and slice of life headcanons so this was a treat, I would write this stuff forever so feel free to request more! Lowkey will write more on my own accord anywayssss -mod Quartz
