the stars lean down to kiss you

[drakor127]

Am I adding more to the core team? Yes, I am.

Floor Guardians (Overlord) - Joined because Louise is Ainz Ooal Gown's descendant. My crew can't keep control for more than 2 seconds and I love these dorks.

Ark (Kamen Rider Zero One) - Joined to kill some Riders and take names.

Arlong (One Piece) - Joined because these guys love to have fun and because this guy be very smug.

Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk (My Little Pony) - Joined because of Adagio abandoning them and Sonata needing someone to look after her.

Zen Aku (Power Rangers) - This guy joined mostly to get some respect

Nui Harime (Kill La Kill) - Joined to finally kill Ryuko. Besides she's having fun with these people, even if they're fashion failures.

Lady Bat, Lanhua and Alala (Mermaid Melody) - Joined because mermaid hunting ain't selling like it used to. And besides, I love these three. The reason is because they were obnoxious, annoying, vain, smug and most importantly, useless (Hear me out for a second). Of all the fictional villains of all time, these three are the worst (in a fun way) fictional villains of them all. Lanhua, Lady Bat and Alala's track record in hunting Mermaid Princesses and spreading evil is pathetic but they're trying their best and that's what matters, even if they squander their powers on stroking their overbloated egos about how beautiful they are and how they are infatuated in themselves instead of using them to capture and defeat Mermaid Princesses for Mikeru. So pathetic that in each episode they appear, they achieve no success in hunting Mermaid Princesses.

Reason for liking Lady Bat: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from The Twilight Saga are more vampiric than her. And she are utterly laughable compared to them. And besides that, she is very much a smug gay trash bat. Plus she gets very spastic when she fails.

Reason for liking Lanhua: She reminds me of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast in a dorky way, just as cute as he is (except she isn't as vain as him). She may be just a hag in beauty's clothing who needs a lesson in being kind to others but she's my smug butterfly hag and has fun while she works. Even her singing as multiple chibi Lanhuas is out there and kinda silly.

Reason for liking Alala: Those two songs of her are pretty ridiculous when she can't succeed in achieving any kind of success in capturing Mermaid Princesses. She's an attention-hungry fairy bitch who is also an affectionate parody of Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. Plus, she flaunts herself on missions and is pretty adorable.

Le Quack (Courage the Cowardly Dog) - Joined to pull off heists of the century.

Stocking Anarchy (Panty and Stocking) - Was dragged out of Mallet Island to join the team.

Selina (Winx Club) - Takes place before Season 6, Joined because she likes their style and wickedness.

Rattlesnake Jake (Rango) - Joined to have some fun and make Xehanort see that pretty soon, no one will believe he exists.

Beth (Scream) - Joined to break the system.

Supervillain Girls (DCSHG 2019) - Joined to have some fun.

Grimcutty (Grimcutty) - Joined to get even with Endeavor (Put him in the MHAverse).

Scarecrow (Batman) - Joined to send worlds into oblivion.

Monika, Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki (Doki Doki Literature Club) - Were dragged out of the game to join the team.

Hammerstrike (Transformers) - Joined by being let out of his stasis pod.

Screech and Thud (Land Before Time) - Were revived to join the team.

Marx (Kirby) - Was revived to join the team.

Evelyn Claythorne (Meta Runner) - Joined to settle the score with Tari.

James Sheridan (Meta Runner) - Joined to get even with Silica City.

Suigintou (Rozen Maiden) - Joined by being awakened.

Crypto (Destroy All Humans) - Joined by Invitation.

Burger Beard (SpongeBob SquarePants) - Joined by invitation.

AZFK (AZFK) - Joined to cause chaos and live life.

Doki Doki ! Seriously tho, I love this game so much and we sorta wanted to do something funny with their pillow, Their chibi sides have their iconic game pose while the other side is well, just Monika. We thought it was a funny joke that would make people smile and chuckle to themselves.

They are available as PREORDER on The Loading Crew Crafts.

Kirby Manga Masterpost

I sometimes get people confused by how many Kirby manga there are, or the differences between them. Seeing as none have been localized, and few scanlated, there’s a lot of confusion around the different ones. So I’ve compiled a list of all the Kirby manga I’m aware of (with help of the Japanese wikia page). In total, there are 55 manga (including sequels as separate ones), with 23 serialized manga and 32 anthologies. The manga are all separate canons from each other and the games, but are still based on the games, like how the anime is a separate canon from the games, but still shares a lot of characters and plot points.

Here’s the three that are generally the ones referred to as “the Kirby manga”. All others are below the cut. Warning: it’s a very long post.

Kirby of the Stars! Moretsu Pupupu Hour! (星のカービィ! も〜れつプププアワー!), by Taniguchi Asami.

This is probably the most well known Kirby manga, and the one most people refer to as “the Kirby manga”. It was originally published in CoroCoro Comic, has 13 volumes, and ran from 2006 to 2016, covering games that released in that time period, but also has a lot of random comedy stories. It tends to give the characters more dramatic and wild personalities, such as Marx’s love for blowing up planets, and Meta Knight’s narcissism. It’s scanlated by Kirby’s Manga Funshack. (Tumblr) (MangaDex)

Kirby of the Stars: Pupupu Hero (星のカービィ プププヒーロー), and its sequel, Kirby of the Stars: Ultra Super Pupupu Hero (星のカービィ ウルトラスーパープププヒーロー), by Aoki Kei and Mikamaru.

This manga is popular for its art and the fact that a lot of its chapters focus on Magolor. It tends to have very “on model” type art in comparison to Moretsu, which has more expressive, comedic art - a good way of telling the difference between them. Pupupu Hero ran in Dengeki Nintendo: For Kids from 2009 to 2013, and was compiled into two (very limited edition) manga. Ultra Super Pupupu Hero ran in Dengeki Bazooka from 2014 to 2016 until the magazine was suddenly cancelled, and was never compiled into a volume. The creators are currently petitioning for get the series reprinted, as it’s hard to find now. It’s scanlated by The Fountain of Dreams. (Tumblr) (MangaDex)

Kirby of the Stars: The Legend of Dedede in Dream Land (星のカービィ デデデでプププなものがたり), by Hikawa Hirokazu.

This one also ran in CoroCoro Comic, from 1994 to 2006, then was revived in 2017 in CoroCoro Aniki and continues to run. It has 25 volumes, plus a "Best Of" compilation and mini-″25.5″ volume. The focus is on slapstick gags and dramatic behaviors from Kirby (usually negatively affecting Dedede). It was at one point picked up to be localized by Viz, under the title Kirby, but was dropped shortly after. That is the main reason it’s still some people’s most known Kirby manga. Only a few chapters have been scanlated, by Golden Roze. (MangaDex)

Serialized Manga:

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Sakuma Yoshiko, was published in Shougaku Ichinensei, Ninensei, and Sannensei from 1992 to 2009. Compiled into 12 volumes, plus a "Best Of" and other special editions and picture books. Kirby's a troublemaker who will do anything for food, but doesn't mean to do bad. He also wasn't originally from Dream Land, being born from a flower in the shape of a tiny star in a faraway place. He ran out of things to eat while growing, so he set off on a journey, eventually getting to Dedede's Castle and eating all his food.

Great Commotion in Dream Land (プププランドは大さわぎ), aka Knock Out Kirby of the Stars (かっとび星のカービィ), by Abe Sayori, was published in Shougaku Ichinensei from 1992 to 1993. The one with the strange original characters, including a human girl.

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Chibi Nyanne, was published in Shougaku Sannensei from 1993 to 1994. Kirby frequently has a :3 face, and this series also uses human characters.

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Maeda Noemi, was published in Shougaku Ichinensei from 1994 to 1996. Kirby has a more bratty, mischievous personality.

Kirby of the Stars: Exciting Grand Adventure (星のカービィ ウキウキ大冒険), by Taijan Hokuto, was published in Monthly Shounen Gag King from 1997 to 1999, and was compiled into one volume. It has a 4-koma format, but a continuous story.

Pupupu Grand Adventure ~Kirby of the Stars~ (プププの大冒険 〜星のカービィ〜), by Daimaru Roketto, was published in Pocket Land from 1997 to 1998. Rick, Kine, and Coo see Kirby as a friend and send him advice, but Kirby has a self-centred personality, and doesn’t give them much care.

Kirby Quiz (カービィクイズ), by Takase Hiroshi, ran in Preparation for Entry: Kindergarten Learning for an unknown amount of time around 1995 to at least 1999. The "chapters" are quizzes, puzzles, and games for kindergarten children to complete, though there's sometimes little manga along with that.

Kirby of the Stars: Friends of Dreamland (星のカービィ プププランドの仲間たち), by Himeno Kagemaru, was published in Shougaku Gonensei and Rokunensei from 2002 to 2003. Kirby's kind but has strange behaviours, such as making crop circles in fields and filling a pool with detergent to wash it with a tornado. He lives in a house along with Waddle Dee, Cappy, Broom Hatter, and Scarfy.

Kirby of the Stars: Great Commotion in Dream Land! (星のカービィ プププランドは大さわぎ!), by Himeno Kagemaru, was published in Shougaku Yonensei in 2003, with two specials, one in 2004 for Amazing Mirror and one in 2005 for Canvas Curse.

Poyo Poyo Kirby (ポヨポヨカービィ), by Haribuki Shikimi, was published in Famitsu Cube & Advance from 2006 to 2009. It's a 4-koma with game information. Kirby speaks in "Poyo" like in the anime.

Kirby of the Stars: Kirby & Dedede's Pupupu Diary (星のカービィ カービィ&デデデのプププ日記), first by Michi Michiru, then by Matsuyama Noboru, was published in Famitsu DS+Wii from 2006 to 2016, and is currently being published in Terebi Gemu Magazine. There are 6 appendix collections (booklets only released in magazines), and one "Best Of" volume. Kirby and Dedede are often with each other in a non-hostile way.

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Miyasumi, was published in Chara Parfait from 2006 to 2011. They're short, colour comics focusing on specific games.

Kirby of the Stars: Pakutto Big Laughter Show!! (星のカービィ パクッと大爆ショー!!), by Kawakami Yuuki, was published in CoroCoro Ichiban from 2012 to 2014, and compiled into two volumes. "Pakutto" is an onomatopoeia for a type of eating noise (think Pacman). It was revived just for 2015 as Kirby of the Stars: More Big Laughter Show!! (星のカービィ もっと大爆ショー!!), after the author recovered from illness.

Kirby of the Stars: Poyo Poyo Everyday (星のカービィ ぽよぽよな毎日), by Michi Michiru, is published in Pikopuri, starting in 2012, and is still being serialized. It's a 4-koma series, and despite being more modern, has characters showing up from the earliest games. It has a single volume so far.

Kirby of the Stars: Full 4-Koma Parfait♥ (星のカービィ まんぷく4コマぱふぇ♥), by Karino Tau & Poto, published in Chara Parfait Comic & Puzzle in 2013. It only ran for two months. It also has the same illustrator that does the novels' illustrations. The title's a punny one, with "Manpaku" meaning full as in "complete" but also full as in "full stomach".

Kirby of the Stars: Sparkling★Pupupu World (星のカービィ キラキラ★プププワールド), by Nanjou Akisama, was published in Chara Parfait in 2014 until April, and is still publishing in Chara Parfait Comic & Puzzle. It has one volume. It's a 4-Koma that focuses on Kirby and Waddle Dee.

Kirby of the Stars: Daily Round Diary! (星のカービィ 今日もまんまる日記!), by Dynamic Tarou, is published in CoroCoro Ichiban, starting in 2016 and is still being serialized. Had a heavy focus on Robobot. Kirby is an innocent airhead, and Meta is a shy subordinate of Dedede who says he knows all about Kirby, but actually knows very little. Also, it's a "Manmaru Diary", with "Manmaru" meaning both "cute" and "perfectly circular/round", so it's also a punny title.

Kirby of the Stars: Full Pupupu Fantasy (星のカービィ 〜まんぷくプププファンタジー〜), by Takeuchi Ibuki, is published in CoroCoro Comic, starting in 2016 and is still being serialized. It has one volume so far. Kirby's a bit dense, such as how he didn’t know how to make cup ramen. He and Dedede are friends.

Anthology Comics

These all have a similar format: various non-connected 4-Koma, with each “chapter” being a collection of these strips done by a different author. They’re mostly just separated by game.

[7-oh-ta1]

So guys!!! Last night around 1 AM, I completed the first draft of day zero on my DDLC/COPA crossover. \(^°^)/ It only took like five days, so that is promising!

The really hard part is definitely going to be disconnecting the DDLC girls from the poem game, because I'm not just replacing them, I'm also adding three other characters (and therefore three other chibis) to the screen. I'm hoping to start by replacing Sayori with Ryosuke, Yuri with Fukuroi, and Natsuki with Kai, and seeing how it goes from there. Once I get those three on the straight and narrow, then I'll have to start the even harder part of creating new lil bouncies on the page.

I have classes today, but I'm going to try and work on the first three tonight. Wish me luck!!

OH!! I also wanted to mention that I have access to these chibis from their creator, @hgss, who has given me permission to use them! Those of you who have been in the fandom for a few years will probably recognize these little guys when you see them. :3

Hi Yu! 💕

1. Favorite drawing from this year

aaa thats difficult, there are lots i like for very different reasons. I would say the lumiamber flying fanart because i still feel kind of proud of it.

4. Favorite character you've drawn

Sayori, even if she looks a little stiff i still really like how she looks. Also this Beidou in particular for some reason, and even more specifically the nonbinary lesbian pfp i made for myself lol:

5. Favorite little detail in a drawing you did

My Immortal chapter 1 and Bee Movie scripts posters, as well as the chibi poster lol

11. Artist(s) that influenced/inspired your art style

i like a lot of artists but there are very few i actively choose to implement into my artstyle so im not sure who to mention tbh

[ddlc-imagines-club]

The Literature Club Girls Draw Pictures of Each Other

Not a request, but I had this weird/cute idea and thought I'd share

- The girls would often do writing exercises and share their work with each other. Everyone had their own distinct style of writing, which got Monika thinking...

- "Okay, everyone. This time, why don't we draw something to share?"

- She knew that drawing didn’t really have anything to do with literature, but she was curious to see if their art reflected their writing. Interestingly, everyone agreed. And so, they decided on what to draw. 

- They settled on Sayori's suggestion of drawing each other; with Sayori drawing Monika, Monika drawing Sayori, Yuri drawing Natsuki and Natsuki drawing Yuri.

- Come the next day and everyone really did draw something.

- Sayori went first, showing her attempt to draw Monika. It was a simple picture of Monika standing, facing forward with her hand on her hip.

- The drawing... was decent, for someone who wasn't experienced with art. Which Sayori wasn't. The lines weren't sketchy and she didn't seem to have utilized a skeleton, which explained why the proportions were off. The way the hair was drawn was pretty great, though.

- She says she did kind of just wing it, and admits that she probably should have googled how to draw or at least look at more references than just a selfie...

- Monika goes next, showing the picture she drew of Sayori. It was a picture of her sitting at her desk, thinking. 

- Her art was pretty good (why would she suggest drawing if she couldn’t do it?), though it wasn't shaded and the circles and squares of the skeleton were still visible. Despite clearly having drawn a fair bit before, she'd yet to really capture the fact that a 2d drawing takes up 3d space within the page, so the image looked fairly flat; though considering the ambitious posing, it came out really well.

- She says that it's one of the better things she's drawn, but it'd be better if she drew things a bit more often and actually tried seriously to improve her art.

- Next up was Yuri, with her drawing of Natsuki. Like Sayori’s drawing, it wasn’t really all that posed, with Natsuki just standing there holding one of her manga.

- All the details were captured perfectly, and the shading was wonderful. Her lines were very carefully sketched, and even though the actual body of the drawing was somewhere between Monika and Sayori in terms of skill, it looked really nice.

- She says she wasn't confident in her ability to draw, considering she only really sketched little things in the corners of her notebooks. So, she looked up a lot of tutorials and references. It certainly showed.

- Natsuki was last, and though nobody wanted to admit that they thought she wasn’t going to be very good, they all totally did. They were expecting a sort of semi-decent chibi drawing, or something like that.

- She seemed reluctant to share, believing that her drawing wasn't good enough, but she was convinced to finally show them the drawing she did of Yuri.

- Natsuki drew this...??

- The image is incredible. It's not only detailed, but proportionate and posed incredibly well. The way Yuri's long hair flowed in the image was almost ethereal. She was standing under a street light, looking somber yet peaceful.

- It may have been stylized, but if they had been shown the image without context, they'd definitely have been able to tell that it was a drawing of Yuri.

- They're bewildered at how incredible an artist Natsuki is. Her response to their confusion is somehow an echo of the sentiment she expresses about the way she writes:

- "Well duh. I don't want people to have to study my drawings just to figure out what they're supposed to be. I want someone to be able to look at what I draw and think, 'oh I know exactly what that is.' So, I made sure this was obviously Yuri. I even kinda based it on one of her poems..."

- To think, the mindset with which she writes the simplest of poetry is the same that she uses to draw the most detailed of artwork.

[just-oki-doki]

I tried to draw Natsuki now

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING THIS MY WAY!!!

I’m glad the submission worked this time :D No idea why it wasn’t working earlier...

This is an awesome re-chibi of Natsuki! I’m going to embarrass myself with my illiteracy but I’d wager that probably says “baka | idiot” or something similar because this expression is screaming it!

Someone went and teased or implied something that made this Natsuki defensive, the poor girl!

Your expression fits the chibi form perfectly despite being such a different piece to the original head, and dang with how crazy Natsuki’s hair can be that definitely helped set things in place!

I love this Natsuki :D Her entire expression is clenched and upset at this situation and I adore it!

Proud as can be that you’ve jumped into these pieces and made such cute Dokis! :D

I’m not poking at the practice as it’s allowed you to make a great piece here, but I would love to see your take on Natsuki’s wild hair at some point if you ever get interested in testing yourself! HAIR IS INSANE but I thought you did fantastically with Yuri’s! Though, her hair is probably the least crazy of the group, followed by Monika’s which is strange when you think about it because long hair is usually so hard to draw but both Sayori and Natsuki have such iconic styles with Natsuki’s hair being without a doubt the most anime and out there style imaginable from the club members!

I digress- THIS IS A FANTASTICALLY EXPRESSIVE NATSUKI AND I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me and I’m so glad you’ve started creating! :D THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :D

I hope you enjoyed making this defensive little Natsuki~ She’s so adorable but I highly doubt saying that would be wise at a time like this!

Scrolling up a final time before posting this just brought another smile my way, fantastic :D

[seanako]

Made a cute little chibi sketch of Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club! :D. I feel like I really like making chibis more and more. Dunno if that's a good thing or not. Anyways you can see the work process here: https://youtu.be/9OI3Gy_rbz4 #cute #chibi #ddlc #dokidokiliteratureclub #sayori #sketch #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #artwork #fanart

[dearsunshinc]

[player] has made countless attempts at getting sayori into anime and gaming over the years. as much as she tries to make an effort to keep up with her best friend in the whole wide world’s hobbies, though, she really can’t get that into it, and the things she does like are woefully “casual.” 

she can enjoy a decent magical girl or romance anime now and then but doesn’t really have the attention span for reading manga (no matter how much natsuki’s tried to convince her that the manga is almost always superior.) however, aside from a couple series here and there, she hasn’t really been a frequent anime-watcher since she when she first became friends with [player] and would watch anime with him every day after school (and, of course, plenty of doraemon and chibi maruko-san and crayon shin-chan as a little kid.)

games-wise, she’s about the same; she can’t stay focused on long games and anything that’s too hard just gets her down, particularly since she’s really not that good at platformers or action games or anything that requires practice and skill. she’s only ever had handhelds, and her games of choice are pretty limited to pokémon, animal crossing and kirby. (and neko atsume, because it’s just too cute.)
