The gang hanging out🤯🤯🤯

I thought this was funi cause Susie and Magos are fashionistas OBVIOUSLY

[fizpup]

kirby stuff I drew around 2020 (2/4) featuring the gang

this one was too sad and embarrassing to put with the rest sorry. I'm really really normal about taranza and sectonia I promise

[ultimadmt]

The Gang Plays Mario Kart

this idea was dumb but i needed to bully magolor some more and needed to make use of the fact my gijinka of him is a little manlet whos barely child height. i also just wanted to draw dumb expressions cuz its my specialty

so heres the dynamic

(this comic is also rough asf dont take it too seriously LMFAO)

Shoutout to everyone who adds Marx as an honorary member of the wave 3 gang

Gotta be one of my favorite genders

[fullmoonfireball]

thinking about like. Gryll running into Kirby and The Gang™ during the events of Star Allies bc they're curious as to what the hell's going on around here this time and they end up seeing

that one little kid that whooped their ass in Star Stacker

their dipshit little brother (affectionate), who last they checked, was bragging about how he tricked said kid and got in a fight with him (and nearly died in the process)

that one motherfucker who won their wand in a bet and then vanished before they could try to win it back

and they're ALL ADVENTURING TOGETHER

i think it'd be really funny if there was also a wave 3 character in said team, because that opens the possibility for either "oh yeah you were a pretty chill guy how've you been?" or, more likely, "YOU. and whoever the fuck that is"

The friends of all time

[icedragonlizard]

Can I just say that I love these images from Guest Star Mode in Kirby Star Allies?

I just adore the idea of all the dream friends in the same wave being friends with each other. Star Allies really highlights how friendship is a big thing about the franchise, and I feel like depicting friendship between the members of each wave is a really great wave to illustrate those vibes and it fits really well when considering the members of each wave become available together (Wave 1 as soon as Dream Rod is available, Wave 2 after Dedede's defeat and Wave 3 after Meta Knight's defeat)

Wave 3 friendship is thankfully super popular across the Kirby fandom and I do see a lot of Wave 2 friendship in the fandom as well, but I think Wave 1 friendship is overlooked and deserves more attention. Marx being friends with the Animal Friends and Gooey is a fun concept and to be honest he's not even that particularly out of place with them aesthetic-wise.

I know Marx instead gets lumped with Wave 3 a lot and it makes perfect sense as I sorta do it too, but seeing him hop around with the rest of Wave 1 in that image is just so wholesome I can't help but imagine he's also buddies with them too. There can also be some real shenanigan potential between him and them.

[invincimole]

for some bizarre reason marx is generally treated as an honorary member of wave 3 (likely due to magolor’s line about meeting someone who “knew kirby quite well”/his general popularity) but i think most people who write him don’t like writing him and instead write some other guy they killed and replaced him with instead

[scorchrend]

being a spark fan coming from the kirby side of the game and not from the sonic side is actually fucking hilarious. i have never played a sonic game in my life. the jester powers are barely in spark 3. that’s actually okay though because even without the different outfits and powers (main draw of kirby) i’m actually here for the stupid ass jester hat. not even the copy abilities. no. specifically a massive fan of marx from kirby seeing this specific jester hat get waved in front of me like a lure. there might be something wrong with me. i don’t get any of the comparisons to sonic based on anything beyond surface level such as level design because i have never played sonic. if i ever play sonic i’ll be referring to shit like the spin dash as charged jester dash. and the kicker is i’m not even good at platformers. where am i

Round 1 Wave 3

[ultimadmt]

i put all the gangs gijinkas all together next to kirby for a relative height chart…

wave 3!!

(+marx)

lining them all up like this makes me laugh and giggle because yes. magolor is almost as short as a literal child. in this pic hes wearing boots that i like to imagine prop him up a little to marx-height but rest assured he is the shortest (and very, very insecure about it) he gets prickly and sore about it when anyone brings it up

kirby gijinkas continued!!

continuing the gijinkas with some more maggs and ranza!! obsessed w how i did taranza here ngl

I have a question for Fylass.

I've been reading Astral Reiteration and I've seen his hatred for Wave 3. But here's my question: What does he think of OTHER villainous dream friends?

Specifically referring to Marx, Dark Meta Knight and the Mage Sisters.

Does Fylass hate them as well, or is it mostly just Magolor, Taranza and Susie that he opposes?

F: I may have to answer this myself.

I do not have the same amount of resentment in comparison, and rather feel pretty indifferent towards them.

At the end of the day, the reasons I hate them come down to two reasons.

First off, the world almost always ends thanks to them. What I mean is that the amount of times they have done bad things in different timelines is greater than the ones others did. For example, whereas Marx killed Kirby in 5 timelines, Magolor killed Kirby in 500. It's to set up an example.

The other reason I hate them more is because at least the others have regretted their actions in the future where they are victorious, unlike Wave Three, who don't seemingly regret what they did, and in fact, it seemed like the world shaped itself in such a way that everytthing ends up in bliss for them. Susie gains her relationship with her father back, Taranza is closer with Sectonia and Magolor gets control.

To summarize, I don't hate the others as much, because Wave Three's sins are expressed amongst practically all timelines without any pinch of regret later on. I think of the others' bad actions as something inevitable there, because it's inevitable that at least once the villain wins. At least they regret what they do.

...Did everyone Read The Announcement Post Very Carefully?

That's right. Kirby of the Stars: The Magic Crystal and The Mysterious Maze was my "A.P.R.I.L. F.O.O.L.S" joke! Sorry! XD

It started at the end of January when I remembered that I'd made a joke grouping of the four Dream Friends that get consistently left out of the novels: Marx, Adeleine, Ribbon, and Dark Meta Knight. I wanted to do something special for them and, partly inspired by Jojo's roleswap cover emulating the FL novels, I thought to make a fake novel cover just for MY forgotten favorites! Gryll and the Fairy Queen are a bonus, because if I was doing this, I would go all out!

I took a huge amount of reference photos, both from the novels and from Tau and Poto's "Find Kirby" books (the only place they've ever drawn Gryll! The Fairy Queen I referenced from Wave 2's ending picture in Star Allies - that's why her crown looks slightly different. Speaking of, Ripple Star Castle (?) is WEIRD looking, y'all!)

At ~40 hours~ of sketching, drawing, painting, refining, trying to get those distinctive Kirby novel touches right (don't get me started on emulating the cover's texture. I was a dumb bunny and remade it by HAND out of a clean scrap about the size of Kirby's body!) this was an immense challenge and the most time I’ve ever put into any illustration, but it was also a huge labor of love for Kirby and its cast!

For what it's worth, I actually did come up with a full on "plot" for this fake novel of mine! (And yes, it was a big stretch to combine Kirby 64 with Amazing Mirror, Milky Way Wishes, and Star Stacker!!)

Here is the "chapter list" (in English and Japanese!)

1 / "Marx the Magician Comes to Town!" 魔法使いマルクがやってきたのサ！

2 / "Into The Mysterious Mirror Maze" いざ！不思議なミラー迷宮へ

3/ "Ribbon The Fairy and The Missing Crystal" 妖精リボンちゃんと失われたクリスタル

4 / "Moving Reflections?! The Maze's Secret!" 動く反映？！迷宮の秘密！

5 / "Adeleine and The Path Leading Out" アドレーヌと出口への道

6 / "Oh No! The Jumbled Dimensions!" 大変！バラバラの次元回路！

7 / "Marx's Mocking Laughter?!" マルクの嘲笑？！

8 / "Catch That Clown!" あの道化師を捕まえろ！

9 / "A Day Packed Full of Delights" ��しい満喫な一日

In the "backstory" Marx attempted to steal/use the large Crystal from Ripple Star ("It's just a prank, bro!") but something happened (maybe the Queen did something) and the Crystal split into shards.

So Marx makes up a fake show and comes to Popstar to dupe all the simpletons there (his words, not mine) to do the bothersome task of gathering all the shards for him to fix the crystal while he sits back and waits, disguising this arduous task as a "fun game."

Kirby and the rest fall for it and start to do Marx's dirty work, going into the mirror maze (related to the Mirror World?) But there, Kirby meets the hardworking fairy, Ribbon, who is working all on her own to try and get the crystals back before Marx can. (Or, if Marx duped the folks of Ripple Star that he'd fix his own mess, he then trapped Ribbon in the maze once they were out of sight!) But so far, she has failed to convince any of his "guests" that she is anything other than a clever attraction. Kirby believes her though and offers his help!

I hadn't fully figured out how the mirror worlders were connected, but I thought it might have been possible they were working with Ripple Star/the good guys (but seemed to be "bad" because they were "scaring" the carnival attendees) or maybe, DMK and Shadow Kirby (who I was originally going to put in the cover as well but it got too crowded for him) were there as guardians to warn everyone to stop messing around with powers they don't understand.

Bandee spends most of his time in the novel outside the maze (to skirt any questions of a mirror Bandanna Waddle Dee) waiting for everyone alongside Marx, where he will eventually figure the jester's game and goes into the maze to warn Kirby and friends. Just as the group seems lost, they will encounter Adeleine, who will be all big sister like and help guide the kids to the exit (using the never fail maze escape strategy of "keep your hand on the right-hand wall")

However, just as things seem to be going well, Marx has used what pieces of the crystal the Popstarians have collected for him to pull his prank, and the gang find themselves lost not in the maze, but in a cartoonish jumble of dimensions!! (Picture each door you go through, whether it's to the kitchen or the castle, leading you to an entirely different planet!) It's amidst this wacky dimensional comedy, trying to grab Marx to get him to Cut! It! Out! that they meet Gryll, who knows Marx well and gives the gang a tip to lure him out (probably involving them all NOT panicking and instead sitting down amidst the chaos and enjoying a simple Adeleine-sponsored picnic, pretending like they're having a great time without him.)

They defeat Marx once he shows up to confront them, complaining they aren't "playing along right" and Gryll takes the battered, bruised jester back for "remedial magic training" or something equally embarrassing for Marx. Back home at last, they find it's sunset now and Marx's One Day Carnival (now being run by the Waddle Dees, who just can't help from helping out) is coming to an end!

However, Kirby, Bandee, Meta Knight, and King Dedede invite Ribbon (and Adeleine and the Mirror Worlders) to enjoy the last hours of the carnival with them before bidding everyone goodbye.

They promise to remain friends, however!

Speaking of friends...

I'm taking a long break from fandom to tackle some new things and take on a new direction in my life. As such, I have taken down all my old work from this blog to get some much needed emotional distance from certain things. That said, I don't require anyone who reblogged any of it in the past to delete those reblogs, nor do you have to cease sharing/distributing things of mine. Just know that if you ask questions, I probably won't be here to answer them.

My love for Kirby and its cast will continue, despite this change. And I do hope the fandom will continue to bloom in my absence.

To everyone who left me such beautiful messages on my previous post, thank you so, so much. I won't forget you all. I hope if our paths cross again, it will be as friends once more. And if not...rest assured that you will forever be a part of my precious memories.
