#kirby knows no gender

[purble-gaymer]

simple thoughts on meta knight and gender euphoria

[samd1o1]

There's obviously way more nby characters out there be these are the ones I know and are my faves!

[pinkd3mon]

nonbinary gryll for pride reqs? :)

I've actually never drawn them before this was so fun

[raineofthedragons]

I’m the gender version of whatever Kirby has going on

[goblinbugthing]

ok so. in my au, kirby and galacta knight look very similar. both pink fur with hair that fades to white at the tips, pastel wings, gold horns, you get the gist. and gooey, who is very very very very very close friends with kirby and also kind of stupid (affectionate), cannot tell the difference between them. when he first met gala he actually thought that he was kirby from the future. the interaction went basically like this:

kirby and gala: *talking, conversing, snacking, generally just vibing*

gooey: *gooey noises* (translation: HI KIBBY)

kirby: oh hi gooey!!

gala: who’s that

kirby: a friend :)

gala: ah ok. nice to meet ya

gooey: *very confused, looking back and forth between them*

kirby: what’s up? you ok?

gooey: *confused gooey noises* (translation: KIBBY WHY IS THERE TWO YOUS???????)

(side note: gooey cannot speak proper languages, including the common galactic tongue spoken by beings like elfilis and void. he’s basically like a cat; he just makes noises and you have to guess what they mean based on body language. and still, despite not speaking any actual language, he remains having bad grammar and pronunciation skills, so he calls kirby ‘kibby’. just thought u should know teehee)

Since I did them a while ago, I figured I'd share what I thought Dedede and Zero's team would be like.

For Dedede, I like to think that Tinkaton would be his partner, though of course he needed an Empoleon as well. Also, his Pokemon were supposed to be based slightly off the bosses in DL1 (except Metagross). Also, his Tinkaton was a gift from Ripple.

For Zero, of course he would be a dark-type expert. Not sure if I'd let him keep Lunala (or Solgaleo), but if I do I'd probably make them variants so they resemble Nightmare (or Dark Mind).

I thought it was over but of course not. Every time I see a post on my dash about this ship starting harassment (on BOTH sides, everybody sucks here and you should all be ashamed) it takes away any semblance of motivation I was starting to get to get back to reading and translating the katfl novel (and motivation already comes and goes with me, hyperfixation stuff. This just makes me want to stay away from Kirby until things finally calm down again, though)

Can someone get the Kirby of Disappointment image out, I feel like it's warranted here, Kirby would not be proud of us

[b1g-ju1cy]

Kirby plushies i have irl :3333

[gncdarkmatter]

I've done it.. I've made an OC for Kirby after so long just so this sideblog can have an avatar

[deepseamuse]

I don't think Kirby understands what gender is. Wdym male or female? They don't know what that means, they're just a friend

[purble-gaymer]

*desperately searching for references* guinevere metamorphosed NOW!!!! (and various other things about the pendragon family)

everyone go read horrific demises by @camachine arthur isn’t a terrible person in this one (but the ones where he sucks are also good)

[katamarei]

kinda funny to me how I see some ppl bringing up ninty of america making kirby a 'boy' instead of genderless (in light of them doing similar with shiver in splat3) but like. look me in the icon and tell me kirby isn't just a little guy who is also nonbinary

[azuremist]

By the way, it wasn’t Nintendo that said that Shiver was ‘female’. It was Nintendo of America specifically. You know… The ones who changed Gracie’s gender from male to female because he was a gender nonconforming male? And the ones who censored Vivian being a canon trans woman? And the ones that changed Kirby from being a genderless character to being a boy? In other words, the ones with a literal repeated, verifiable history of censoring gender nonconforming and trans characters?

Edit: Apparently, not just ‘the ones’… THE EXACT SAME DUDE who was involved with localizing, and thus, censoring The Thousand Year Door (the game that Vivian was from) was the one who answered the question about Shiver’s gender.

Edit: Expanded reference sheet

WOOOO! Done just in time! @kirbyoctournament

Name: Olympea, the Pummeling Peacekeeper

Gender: She-himbo, She/Her

Age: Never ask a woman her age! (She's an adult.)

Occupation: Warrior/Hero of Yore

Species: Puffball/Starborn/Star Child/whatever the Kirby species is called.

Uh-oh, due to a temporal anomaly the Hero of Yore Olympea suddenly finds herself transported alive and well from Ancient Halcandra to the Kirby OC tournament! She doesn't know what's going on, but she'll roll with the punches and treat it like a fun dream vacation of sorts. She does like meeting all sorts of new people and trying new foods, weapons and technology. She'll have so many stories to tell her friends when she returns! It's probably for the best if she doesn't learn what disaster befell the four heroes in the regular timeline, though...

Some ground rules, just in case:

I would love seeing people's OC's interact with her! Asking Olympea questions is okay, but this is not an ask blog/rp blog and I'm not looking for extended roleplay. I may not answer your question. If I see potential for an interesting interaction I may draw it, but I can't promise anything. (Keep in mind if I don't respond right away -> 1: I'm timid and get anxious easily. 2: I may not have figured out that part of her story/the history of Ancient Halcandra yet. 3: The answer would have contained a spoiler for my fics. 4: I'm very slow at drawing.)

I'm joining this tournament for fun, so thank you for understanding!

Overview:

While she's not very big, intellectual or attuned to magic, she is unbeatably chipper and physically strong. She loves fighting and gleefully uses a variety of lovely accessories/weapons like a giant club, enchanted glaive, magitech gauntlets, etc. Her left glove allows her to access a dimensional storage. Teases hard, punches even harder. Actually quite feminine when off the clock. Loves magitech gadgets a lot. Doesn't think science or magic is better, because their society needs both. She's definitely not insecure about her height. She'd also never conjure a giant squeaky hammer to bop you over the head if you call her short.

Likes: Vegetables, Nectar, Trying new foods, The colour green, Flowers, Butterflies and moths, Pretty/cool/badass women, Her club, Brass knuckles, Tinkering, New gadgets, Teasing her friends, Seeing a certain winged magenta knight open up and feel genuine joy

Dislikes: Being mistaken for a child, Being called stupid, Stuck-up people, Seeing her friends being hurt, Strangers flicking her antennae, How much dust and scales her wings leave behind

Abilities: Able to fly. Very physically strong. Innately has access to Suplex and Hammer, but mainly uses her trusty club. Her boots and gauntlets let her emulate elements of Hi-jump, Laser and Mecha. (The boosted jump, laser finger guns and palm blasts, respectively.)

Weaknesses: Can't fly quickly. Stubby little arms limit her great strength with little reach. Distractable and a little naive. Can't resist eating strange and exotic snacks no matter the source. Seeing cute girls (she HAS to show off).

Fighting Style:

Her gauntlets are good for punching and the palms can release blasts of energy as well. They're mainly so she can hold large weapons well, since her actual hands aren't very big.

Her moth wings aren't very big either, so while she can normally fly and can still break her fall when she's armoured, she prefers to zip around close to the ground. It's often faster and easier to run and jump when she's fighting. Especially when she's wielding her heavy club. Her boots help her boost and maneuver quickly.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that because she prefers close range combat and isn't proficient with magic she can't attack at a distance. Her gauntlets possess finger laser guns and she can use her left glove (which she also wears under her gauntlet) to access her weapon hoard at all times. Who knows what else she keeps in there?

Even her civilian outfit isn't harmless. She still has access to her innate Suplex and Hammer abilities, after all. And those shoes have steel toes! Of course, the platform heels are just to keep her delicate wings from scraping across the ground when folded. No other reasons. (Like being taller.)

Design Thoughts:

Olympea is the first of the Heroes of Yore who came to me. I was thinking about how to describe the Heroes of Yore and knew I wanted at least one to be a woman. Suddenly her name resounded through my head! Then I just started associating. Olympea sounds like Olympics, so she must be strong. Pea calls to mind small, round and green, so what if she's (mostly) the same species as Galacta Knight? Peas are famous for research on genetics and alleles, so what if she was born, not formed like him? Maybe she doesn't have a lot of magical affinity. Then she needs weapons. Pea, peace, pea shooters, peas in a pod, peacemaker, pea-smacker. Let's give her a hammer, no, a club! She's strong, so what if she packs a punch? How about some gauntlets for punching? She can have a gun, wait, let's put the gun (pea shooter!) in her gauntlet's finger! She needs storage for her weapon hoard (girl needs to accessorise!) so what if her enchanted gauntlets let her access dimensional storage (peas in a pod)? Hmmm, does she have wings? There's a bug called a pea moth, so she has moth wings now. Her ponytail is twisted like a dried pea pod and not-so-coincidentally looks a bit like a cocoon when down and a boxing glove while up in a bun.

I maaay have gone completely overboard with the whole pea thing, but such is life. Although there is a bit of Hammer Lord in there as well. She doesn't hate magic, she just doesn't have a lot of affinity for it. She does enjoy tinkering and building weapons. This is how she ended up relying mostly on technology instead of magic.

She's not a knight and has no mask, because while many people depict all adult puffballs as masked knights (probably influenced by the Star Warriors from the K:RBAY anime) I personally don't think this has to be universal for their kind. How sad it would be if all they were destined for was fighting! ...And then I made her a warrior anyway. Oh well.

Would you be open to writing Chris/Matt X Nonbinary Reader headcanon?

of course, my love, thank you for the req 🤍

enby!reader:

✨a concept✨

includes usage of pet names that are gender-neutral in my opinion

coming out -

chris: "you guys have the best flag colors, honestly. don't tell nick i said that, he'll kill me."

matt: "they/them? cool, mine are he/him, wanna go get ice cream?"

pride parade -

chris: "all of these pins are gonna look so cool on my backpack, holy shit, these go so hard."

pride parade with matt: "i told you to put on more sunscreen, that's probably why you're burning. no pride stickers until you put it on."

meeting the parents -

chris: "as long as you let him talk about golf, Jimmy's gonna love you. don't be nervous, i got you." very wet forehead kiss

matt: "okay so there's something you have to know about Mary Lou, right..."-deep sigh-"she's gonna make you a casserole. yeah. yeah like- yeah like a whole, a Whole Ass Casserole to take home. and she'll call me. and ask if you liked it. you're not allergic to anything right?"

hanging out with justin and the boys -

chris: "he may seriously rock your shit at cards so if you wanna play with me you can. no, i'm not bad at cards. i'm not cheating! what is this slander against me?" chris is very bad at cards and is trying very hard to cheat his way to victory.

matt: "you've never played Super Smash Bros? nah, i'll teach you. don't want you to worry about learning it tomorrow instead of having fun with everybody, come here. okay so first you pick your character...yeah it kinda matters but i'll start you off with Kirby, he's pretty easy...yes you can be the purple one."-kisses your cheek-"you're so adorable."

self-expression:

chris: "how other people feel about how you express yourself literally doesn't matter. they can go sit bare-assed on a lego. i think you look cool as shit and my opinion is the only good one, so." he's very proud of himself, but he does genuinely care about you and how you feel. if he could get rid of your doubts about how you style yourself, he would.

matt: "listen, my entire goal when i get dressed in the morning is to look homeless. i promise you, the people who matter won't give a flying fuck."

spicy time -

chris: "biologically, you've got one of the two set-ups, and i'm experienced in both,"-wiggling eyebrows-"so you're in good hands."

matt: "you experiment however you want, sweetheart. i'm here to learn how you like it."

aftercare -

chris: "blankets for you, water...you want juice? sure baby, i'll get you juice," he chuckles, kissing your cheek before heading to the kitchen, leaving you snug under his fluffiest blanket.

matt: "come on, shower time. nope, let's go. i know it's warm but we gotta...okay, you get five more minutes, and then shower."

dear anon,

hope you liked this! i'm not nonbinary myself, though a dear friend is, and in this post, i've used pet names and honorifics that i know for a fact they're comfortable with, and i hope none of these were off-putting to you.

thank you!
