very good images from the latest kirby picture book

[Image description: three images from a Kirby picture book. The first shows Dedede and a Waddle Dee at a barbecue, Kirby and Bandana Dee fishing, and Elline and Claycia shaping clay together. The text reads "I was able to meet a new me as well." The second image shows Meta Knight holding up a lantern next to Kirby in a dark room. The text reads "Thank you. With you here, the darkness can't scare me anymore." The third image shows Kirby, Bandana Dee, a Waddle Doo, and Dedede having a picnic together. In the background, Meta Knight is reading a book against Whispy Woods, and Elline is offering a clay crown to a Plasma Wisp. The text reads "My gratitude will always remain, just for you. Thank you."

IT’S KIRBY TIME, READ-ALONG FINALE IS SO IMPORTANT!

IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED KIRBY STORY TIME PLEASE WATCH IT BEFORE READING THE CONTEXTS!

Please watch all 6 before the 7th one because it really does pack a bigger punch with this last one. 

I think this series was honestly the cure for my depression. I actually want to do an analysis of the last “It’s Kirby Time” series. It shows why the main four (Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee) are friends.

“When I met you, I was able to meet a new me as well…”

King Dedede and Bandana Dee have the same core reason but have different implications. With King Dedede, his relationship with Kirby wasn’t the best, but due to the King's jealousy. Making Kirby his rival, the root of jealousy is always the desire to want what the other person has… or to be that person.

This brings us to this “When I’m with you I find new things to love…” it shows King Dedede being kind to another Waddle Dee. With Kirby’s influence, Dedede learned how to be kind and selfless. Being a positive force in Dreamland and enjoying making others happy, just like Kirby. He was always capable of being kind; someone just had to show him first.

Then there’s Bandana Dee, who is pretty much the underdog of the group. Being one of 300 waddles probably doesn’t help you feel you stand out. Bandana Dee’s main insecurity is that he doesn’t stand out like the others. But being around Kirby makes him feel like, “Hey, I can be a hero too...”. He stands beside the rest of the group, no longer a background character but himself.

It says a lot that Bandana Dee is the one who’s on the island right beside Kirby fishing; he is his equal. Kirby brought out the best versions of Bandana Dee & King Dedede hence the line “I was able to meet a new me... “ This brings me to the fact that the islands are connected to Kirby. Kirby was able to see a part of himself in both of them, which made him feel less lonely.  

Thank you. With you here, the darkness can’t scare me anymore.

Alright next is Meta Knight and Kirby,(AAAAAAHHHHHH META DAD); honestly, it could apply to both of them; it’s a double meaning. If you read in Kirby’s voice it implies that Meta Knight makes him safe and secure. Even with the unknown future, he will always be there to light the way and make sure that he’s always ready for whatever comes his way. When the darkest times arrive Meta Knight is always there for Kirby.

It gets more interesting if you read it in the context of Meta Knight. it implies that Kirby gives him a reason to be brave. Now it’s implied that MK is from dark origins (created by Nightmare); something he’s trying to get away from. With Kirby, he’s been given the chance to see himself differently, that he can be good. Being allowed to separate himself from his dark past, he’s not afraid of it anymore and can move forward from it.

I will miss the series, but it gave us so many wonderful stories I do hope you have the chance to watch them.

It’s Kirby Time - Book 9 English Translation + An Update on Blog Happenings

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! IT'S HEEEEERE!! A truly adorable story about Kirby and Meta Knight deciding to spend some alone time and the activities they like to do during that time. Featuring beautiful illustrations painstakingly cleaned up by myself, this one is a must-read for fans of the relationship between Kirby and Meta Knight. Read the full thing at the links below:

Imgur

MangaDex

Google Drive

...But wait, there's more! Because the illustrations are so pretty, here's a link to a folder containing just those illustrations with no text at all! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19z8WLah-ZGES2jnyZOILJKc9kE75Wvs9?usp=drive_link (I'm probably also gonna make a post featuring all these images on their own soon.)

Finally, I have an update regarding the blog. tl;dr, I'm definitely gonna keep doing translations, but the rate at which they are completed and uploaded is most likely going to change soon. I don't know by how much or even if it will be positive or negative. For a more detailed explanation, click the Keep Reading.

So, I got a job! *audience cheers* But the job does not involve translating Kirby manga. *audience "aww"s* Ordinarily I wouldn't get more specific than that since I try to avoid revealing too much about my personal life, but in this case the explanation won't make much sense unless I do, so: The job entails working on fishing boats. This means that there isn't really a set daily schedule or even a weekly schedule. When the boats are fishing, I'm working, and when they're not, I have next to nothing to do.

I've been told by many people that I should expect a lot of down time for that reason, so I'll definitely have time to work on translations. However, I can't predict exactly how much I get and I also most likely won't have an internet connection on the boat. All this is to say that I literally do not know how this is going to affect the rate of translations on this blog beyond just, "It's going to change." I could find that I have so much down time on the boat that translating is the only thing that keeps me sane and I actually get more done. I could find that the boat I'm on is a super-busy one and I get barely any time at all. And regardless of which one of those happens, I won't be able to actually upload anything until the boat gets back into port, which is entirely dependent on how long it takes for the boat to catch all the fish it needs.

The job doesn't start for a couple weeks yet, so I'm gonna try to fulfill a few more requested chapters before then. Once again: I'm definitely going to keep translating, I just don't know how often I'll actually be able to do it. So enjoy this translation, look forward to more coming in the future, and please wish me luck both in my work and in getting time to translate!

Kirby discovers that a new friendship can sprout up at any time!🌱

what a little freak (i am fighting back the motherly instinct to raise him as my own)

[yagurlhere]

Although I am disappointed that there wasn't a read-aloud of the Birthday one with Ribbon and Kirby being adorable together and the 64 crew celebrating Kirby's B-Day, (I was convinced they would do that as the seventh/last one,) and that the read-aloud series is over, this was honestly such a sweet and cute, peaceful way to go. I love it, and the piano in the background just adds up to that teary-eyed happy feeling.

I’ve been trying to read the ace novel to practice reading Japanese and I find it really funny how deuce describes ace like he’s the heartthrob surfer dude male lead in some 2010s Disney film

Anyways here’s an ace since I was thinking about him
