Mask in the Mirror

A Metadede Phantom of the Opera AU Fanfic

Disclaimer: This is my very first time writing anything Kirby-related, so there's no sort of lore tied to this story whatsoever. Also, I may or may not have written these characters accurately (the Kirby anime is literally the only kind of portrayal I know of). This is all just for funsies, especially since spooky season is already here on Tumblr! This idea all came from a random shitpost I made a few months ago, and after seeing how much traction it got, I decided to finally write a short story about it. I am also planning to draw this AU, too, so stay tuned for that!

Content Includes: Flirting and Slight Suggestiveness (no explicit NSFW)

“He fills me with horror and I do not hate him. How can I hate him, Raoul? Think of Erik at my feet, in the house on the lake, underground. He accuses himself, he curses himself, he implores my forgiveness!...He confesses his cheat. He loves me! He lays at my feet an immense and tragic love. ... He has carried me off for love!...He has imprisoned me with him, underground, for love!...But he respects me: he crawls, he moans, he weeps!...And, when I stood up, Raoul, and told him that I could only despise him if he did not, then and there, give me my liberty...he offered it...he offered to show me the mysterious road...Only...only he rose too...and I was made to remember that, though he was not an angel, nor a ghost, nor a genius, he remained the voice...for he sang. And I listened ... and stayed!...That night, we did not exchange another word. He sang me to sleep.”

Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera

---

“Mi rey...” spoke the mysterious voice, “Mi vida... Come to me...”

King Dedede, draped in his white laced night garb, snapped out of his concentration. Glancing over his shoulder, he rose from his desk with expectancy. He searched around his royal chamber. A week ago, the voice had promised him that they will finally meet when the time comes. Tonight was that very moment. “Stranger! I can hear you, but I don't know where you are! Where are you?” Dedede responded aloud.

“Tonight, I shall no longer be a stranger. As I have promised, I will present myself to you.” the voice echoed, “Look into the mirror... Your Dark Angel awaits inside.”

Dedede glanced at the mirror. Look into the mirror? But there's nothing behind the mirror – he was sure of it! Out of all the secret entryways, emergency escape routes, and hidden corridors, a mirror was the last thing Dedede was concerned about. What could a mirror possibly hide, he thought to himself. But as the mirror across the chamber began to creak open and the gaping crack oozed with billowing fog, he got his answer.

Behind it was darkness, and in the darkness was a mask.

The mask was silver and ornate with black jewels. It faced Dedede, and as Dedede looked closer, he could make out a long black cape below it, wrapped and almost camouflaged. He stepped closer. But he could not make another inch – hesitation took over his instincts. He swallowed, pushing himself to walk towards his Dark Angel. His struggle melted when a hand appeared and lifted itself from underneath the cape, reaching for Dedede's hand. Mesmerized, Dedede inched even further towards the mirror. His curiosity and fascination overpowered his second-guessing. The Dark Angel was here and it was far too late to turn back now. The king placed his hand over the Angel's, and gently did he hold on. Before he knew it, Dedede was being whisked away into the darkness, leaving behind the comforts of his chamber.

Dedede did not know where they were going. He could not see anything at first. But then lights – gold candelabras hanging on stone walls – illuminated their path. With his sight finally clearer, Dedede could now make out who this mysterious stranger was. And what a mysterious character this Dark Angel was! In fact, nothing about his appearance was angelic. Dedede turned to glance behind. “Ah, mi amor, por favor...” the masked Angel pleaded, “Do not look away. I promise that no harm will come to you. I have waited so long for this moment, and at long last, here we are. Together, as destiny foretold.” Further down the candlelit stone hallway they went, stretching deeper into wherever it lead. Soon, the Dark Angel, his hand still holding on to Dedede's, pressed a hidden button among the stone bricks. As the button activated, a secret door opened right in front of them. There behind that concealed entrance was an astonishing sight.

The large chamber was completely adorned with candles in almost altar-like fashion, shedding light on the various carvings of melodramatic scenes. The figures, some semi-nude, eternally displayed in almost every corner, posed with such a passion Dedede only found in film and novels. He blushed at the very sight; his eyes continued to wander. There before them was a massive organ, masterfully crafted in gold and polished wood, placed in the middle of a mural. Where did all of this come from? How did this Dark Angel manage to get this setup within the castle?

Or rather...Underneath the castle?

With a dramatic flip of the cape, the Dark Angel welcomed the confused yet enchanted king. “Here is where light ends and darkness reigns. This is where music is born – worshiped! Here, music is the breath of life! Here is where I reside.” he spoke to Dedede, “And here... is where you will know the truth.” Dedede watched as his masked host approached him. His eyes – eyes that glowed beneath the mask – softened as they met Dedede's with an overwhelming adoration. “Mi rey...” the Dark Angel cooed, pulling a bright red rose from behind, “The love that I have for you is beyond mere words. I have seen you from afar – from within the shadows – and I have longed for our romance to bloom. Ah, but I must confess; a thousand apologies for not introducing myself properly. I... am the Phantom Knight... Your Phantom Knight.” Dedede could feel his feathers poof from his chest, the warmth burning bright all over his face. His heart raced with such vigor that he could almost faint from surprise. Delicately, Dedede accepted the rose.

“I... T-thank you...” Dedede politely said, trying his best not to be afraid. Although he was familiar with the Phantom Knight – his voice for the most part – everything was becoming a blur of emotions. Flustered... Scared... Bashful... Concerned... The Phantom Knight, gently, as if he could shatter his royal object of affection into pieces, caressed Dedede on the cheek. “It pleases me to know that you are not afraid of me. Many in this world fear me, so much so that I have to hide away in these walls.” The Phantom Knight continued, “Ah, your majesty... Magnifico....Your handsomeness has bewitched me. It blinds me. Si, it does! And I speak with greatest sincerity.”

Dedede began to lean against his hand, just ever so slightly. A newfound amorous sensation blossomed within him as a soft smile began to crack. He could not help it. A sigh escaped his lungs as he begins to swoon. Pulling Dedede close to him, the Phantom Knight whispered so sweetly, “Eres mi hermoso angel... You belong to me, and to me alone...”

Kirby Manga Double Bill + A Fanfiction?!

Solid Snake voice: Kept you waiting, huh?

Finishing off the requests in my queue (at least for the time being), I present to you two chapters! One from Manmaru Nikki and one from Mopupu. And yes, you read that title correctly, there's a special surprise after them as well! Well not a surprise I guess since it's in the title but very special! Anyways, let's just get to the manga, eh?

Kirby: Manmaru Nikki (AKA Daily Round Diary) - Volume 4, Bonus Chapter 2 English Translation

Starting off with a quick little retelling of Cinderella with Kirby characters in all the roles! Though this one is short, I still feel like I got some good translation work in there. A lovely morsel of Kirby manga that can be read in full at the following links:

Imgur

MangaDex

Google Drive

Next up, it's

Kirby: Moretsu Pupupu Hour - Volume 7, Chapter 8 English Translation

A full-sized chapter here about Kirby leaving and the manga getting a new main character that definitely isn't just Kirby wearing a costume! King Dedede is left to figure out what's going on and how to convince the others that it's obviously just Kirby wearing a costume. Read the full thing at the following links:

Imgur

MangaDex

Google Drive

Now what was that about a fanfiction?

It's true, dear readers: I have dabbled in fanficcery! It's kind of like translating a manga chapter except instead of translating Japanese into readable English I have to translate my internal thought process into readable English.

It's a nice and simple story about Kirby wanting to eat a cake but not being allowed to eat said cake and all the emotion and heartbreak that occurs as a result, featuring King Dedede, Daroach, Adeleine, and Magolor. It's the very first fanfic I've ever written, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It might not Wham Bam Rock your socks off but it could, uh... Fatty Whale your... scales off? Look just read the thing at this link if you want

Whew! Looks like you've got some reading to catch up on. It hopefully won't take me this long to update again since I'm not planning on writing another fanfic anytime soon (but maybe someday...). Hope you enjoy the chapters and please let me know what you think of my fanfic!

[emerxshiu]

i forgot it was april fools lol. i definitly did not end up sprinkling in a bunch of memes in there, nope, not at all.

I havent checked my dashboard until a few minutes earlier, but now im booping everyone i find in there, its just so damm fun! its kinda sad that its just for april fools, i wish the booping stayed forever like its way too silly i love it.

Oh yeah the drawing yep aight. So uh, i had the idea yesterday and this looks NOTHING like what i had planned, it was just going to be a plain white backgroung, and i was trying to make it look like a pencil sketch (kinda). and simple coloring. but i had a lot of problems and drawing this ended up being really frustrating but im kinda happy with the result even if it difers so much from the og idea.

also here is a clean version (aka no memes)

i tend to change my idea as im drawing so after i realized this was not going to look like i thought, i tried some effects and i came up with the idea of making it look...off.

Backgrounf with saturated colors consisting of red and blue and a fecto elfilis who looks rather dreamy, wich is totally not kinda inspired by isolated isles and high school musical 2 believe it or not (im confused as to how that was present in my mind as inspiration but i guess anything works as a reference) and contrasting with the darker background from how light and glowy i made him.

Fun fact: when i drew elfilis here, they were reminding me of a bunny, so you could kinda count this as a bit of an easter post since im probably going to forget to do something for that.

fun fact 2: this image is based on a fanfic im writing right now, i havent posted it yet, and when i do im pretty sure i'll put it into the Anonymous collection, since what im writing is very different from my usual, i tend to write about my splatoon ocs or sometimes about kirby characters, most of these fics tend to be general with not a lot of archieve warnings and stuff (save for one but that one was very very tame and just had an implication of a character dying at the end) and they're oneshots, most of them, this one is also a oneshot. i just enjoy writing that, but its a little bit....how to say it? bloody, i just have like the start made and its probably going to take me a while to finish, im also thinking of reading it multiple times since most of my works are usually just the first draft. but uh since its quite different and has that im quite scared of the reception it might have when i post it, in fact a lot of times i dont post stuff since even tho i know i shouldnt worry about others, i still do like an idiot, i just cant help caring about what other people think of me. and yeah basically its just not like the usual fluff i write.

next post might be splatoon related since im redesigning some ocs i had, or it might be princess peach showtime because my father got me the game and im loving it

Thank you for listening to my unnecesarily long rambles and Jambuhbye!

Hey! Mist here! Maybe you saw me around, anyway. Just dropping by to send a friendly love message -w- ♥

Luv your art/style a lot! You became another fav artist in my long list hehe I met you with your Kirby Gijinkas and here I still now enjoying your current content of One Piece x SpyxFamily crossover, 2 of my top fav animes (actually are the two that I have the most merchandise lol). I need to read your fanfic yet!

Really love how you draw the characters! And happy you focus in the ASL bros, my fav trio in One Piece ^w^ Curious, who is your fav bro or top tier? I love the 3 of them of course but i would say my fav tier would be 1. Sabo | 2. Ace | 3. Luffy. I even did a crossplay of Sabo hehe.

Since you are in a stressful situation, I send you a hug and all my support with your studies and life in general ♥

Hello!!! I think we were on the same Kirby gijinka server at some point, I recognize your art style and your username! I’m glad to see you’re doing well :D

Hehe it’s certainly funny how fandoms change over time!! I’m glad you enjoy my one piece art too :) we have the same ranking of ASL bros! I also like sabo first, ace second, and luffy third!! They’re all excellent but sabo and ace have such compelling backstories and motivations and they’re very very precious hehe

Thanks for the support :) this made me feel a lot better when I saw it in my inbox!

I'm planning on also doing the friends to lovers idea slightly later on and I have another ask I'll post some point this week!!

Word count - 1318

You had tucked yourself away towards the back of your childhood home, hiding in the kitchen from the rest of your family as they gathered for your parents party.

From where you were, you could see some of the guests and the front door. You were stood behind the island, giving you distance from family members that didn't like you that much.

"Hun, could you get me a cup of water for your cousin?" You mum asked.

You hadn't even noticed her come into the kitchen, your eyes had been locked on the front door as you waited for your favourite uncle to enter. There was nothing telling you he would come but seeing him was all you wanted.

"Oh, sure," you responded, quickly turning and getting a glass, filling it with water.

As the glass became full, you heard the front door open and close. This caused you to quickly turn, crashing the glass into the counter and covering the floor with water.

You didn't care however, Hank was stood meekly by the front door. He was wearing his same old jacket, his hair shaggy and grey as he waved hello to the family.

There was a young man stood somewhat behind him. You had never seen this young man before and furrowed your eyes briefly before rushing past the mess you had just made to Hank.

"Hank!" You exclaimed as you charged towards him.

You threw yourself at him as you wrapped your arms around his neck, hugging him close. It had been too long since you had last seen him so you hugged him for a little too long. Hank responded by wrapping his arms around your waist, as he had done when you jumped at him for hugs so many times before.

"Well, if it isn't my favourite uncle," you grinned, pulling away.

"If it isn't my favourite relative," he grinned down at you.

"They're injured Hank," the young man behind Hank muttered, taking a step forward.

"What? Connor stop scanning people." Hank was turned to 'Connor' as he spoke, quickly turning back to you "this is Connor, I work with him. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," you grinned.

Connor reached for your arm, grabbing your wrist and facing the palm of your hand up. You had cut yourself without noticing when you broke the glass in the kitchen.

Someone from further in the house called Hank over to come say hi and he ordered Connor to help you with your hand before disappearing into the crowd of extended family.

You lead Connor upstairs to the bathroom across from your childhood room and told him where the first aid kit was.

He sat you on the edge of the bath, kneeling in front of you as he removed any shards of glass from your hand and cleaned it. You squirmed and grunted due to the pain.

"It would be easier if you stayed still," he commented, looking up at you.

For a moment, you were distracted by his beauty, your eyes trailed over his face. His hair was styled back, a few tufts of hair loose and dangling over his forehead. His wide brown eyes looked up at you, full of concern and worry as he held your hand.

He still had his coat on, however now it was undone, showing the hoodie and t shirt combo he was wearing beneath.

"I can't help it, it hurts," you huffed back at him.

"It's going to hurt, you're bleeding,"

You smiled at him, to which he returned as he bandaged your hand.

"So you're friends with Hank? He must like you if he's bringing you to one of these,"

"I'm mainly here so that he has a reason to leave," Connor smiled slightly.

"That sounds like him, if you leave take me with you,"

There was a moment of quiet as he sat, holding your bandaged hand while the two of you smiled at each other.

"So you two met through work? I thought he was all about working alone, how did you crack his shell?"

Connor hesitated for a moment, you could tell he was thinking about the answer from the way his body language changed slightly.

"I was assigned to work with him, neither of us could say no. Even if we wanted to,"

"In all my years of knowing him, the captain never forced him to have a partner," you narrowed your eyes slightly.

"It wasn't Captain Fowler that assigned me to work with Hank," he said, averting eye contact.

"Who was it then?"

"Cyberlife."

You paused for a moment as you looked at him. He bit his lip as he looked down, closing his eyes slightly as he lifted one hand. He removed his skin, revealing the white material which lay beneath.

"You're an android?" You asked, reaching up to touch his finger tips.

"Yes,"

You interlocked your finger with his, holding his hand gently as you ran your thumb along his knuckles.

Connor looked up at you, somewhat taken back by the gesture. A blue glow lit up his cheeks as he blushed deeply.

"Should we go back downstairs?" You asked softly.

"Yes. Yeah. We should. Find Hank," he stuttered out, fumbling over his words.

The skin returned to his fingers as he stood up, still holding your hand as he took a step away from you. As he took a step away, you were tugged towards him.

As you stood up we went to take another step away, forgetting that you were holding hands. This pulled you off balance, causing you to crash against him. You put your free hand on his chest.

His blush grew darker as he looked at you against his chest and your face matched his, turning its own dark red.

Connor let go of your hand and stepped away, no longer dragging you towards him.

The two of you returned to the party downstairs, quickly finding Hank in the kitchen. Someone had already cleared up the mess you had made earlier with the broken glass.

"Connor, there you are, what were you doing that took so long?" Hank looked between the two of you, his eyebrows raising when he noticed the deep blush covering both yours and Connors faces.

"He was just helping me with me hand,"

"Uh huh. Hand." Hank smirked. "Come on Connor, time to go," he finished, walking out of the kitchen.

You grabbed Connors coat as he began to take a step away, following after Hank, and pulled you towards him.

"I meant it, take me with you." You looked up at Connor.

He leant down towards you, leaving not much distance between your faces. You glanced down to his lips briefly and he glanced down to yours before making eye contact again.

"How about I take you with me to the movies?" He said smoothly, winking at you before turning and following after Hank.

He left you a flustered mess after his smooth exit, blushing and imagining the two of you at the movies together throughout the rest of the party.

<<extra>>

As Connor left the house, he was too busy thinking about the person he had just met and cursing himself for not learning their name to notice there was a step in the path.

The android fell over, causing the blue blush on his face to deepen as he scrambled to his feet and look around for you before heading to Hanks car.

He sat in the front passenger seat of Hanks car completely silent. Hank had thought Connor was malfunctioning for a short while until he turned to Hank.

"Please tell me their name,"

"You didn't ask their name?"

"Set up a date for me Hank." He was practically begging.

Connor continued to question Hank about you the entire drive home, always circling back to Hank setting up a date for the two of you.You had tucked yourself away towards the back of your childhood home, hiding in the kitchen from the rest of your family as they gathered for your parents party.

From where you were, you could see some of the guests and the front door. You were stood behind the island, giving you distance from family members that didn't like you that much.

Connor looked up at you, somewhat taken back by the gesture. A blue glow lit up his cheeks as he blushed deeply.

"Should we go back downstairs?" You asked softly.

"Yes. Yeah. We should. Find Hank," he stuttered out, fumbling over his words.

The skin returned to his fingers as he stood up, still holding your hand as he took a step away from you. As he took a step away, you were tugged towards him.

As you stood up we went to take another step away, forgetting that you were holding hands. This pulled you off balance, causing you to crash against him. You put your free hand on his chest.

His blush grew darker as he looked at you against his chest and your face matched his, turning its own dark red.

Connor let go of your hand and stepped away, no longer dragging you towards him.

The two of you returned to the party downstairs, quickly finding Hank in the kitchen. Someone had already cleared up the mess you had made earlier with the broken glass.

"Connor, there you are, what were you doing that took so long?" Hank looked between the two of you, his eyebrows raising when he noticed the deep blush covering both yours and Connors faces.

"He was just helping me with me hand,"

"Uh huh. Hand." Hank smirked. "Come on Connor, time to go," he finished, walking out of the kitchen.

You grabbed Connors coat as he began to take a step away, following after Hank, and pulled you towards him.

"I meant it, take me with you." You looked up at Connor.

He leant down towards you, leaving not much distance between your faces. You glanced down to his lips briefly and he glanced down to yours before making eye contact again.

"How about I take you with me to the movies?" He said smoothly, winking at you before turning and following after Hank.

He left you a flustered mess after his smooth exit, blushing and imagining the two of you at the movies together throughout the rest of the party.

<<extra>>

As Connor left the house, he was too busy thinking about the person he had just met and cursing himself for not learning their name to notice there was a step in the path.

The android fell over, causing the blue blush on his face to deepen as he scrambled to his feet and look around for you before heading to Hanks car.

He sat in the front passenger seat of Hanks car completely silent. Hank had thought Connor was malfunctioning for a short while until he turned to Hank.

"Please tell me their name,"

"You didn't ask their name?"

"Set up a date for me Hank." He was practically begging.

Connor continued to question Hank about you the entire drive home, always circling back to Hank setting up a date for the two of you.

You got it!!!

List 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

1. The spectacular, kind people that I’ve met

2. The spectacular, priceless art/fics that I’ve come across

3. SEPHIROTH.

A tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate ~ That would be this moment in Crisis Core! THIS LINE OF WHATEVER HERE! ❤️

Your very first fandom! ~ I’ve zipped through a bunch of different hyperfixations as a young(er) bean: Mario, Smash, Kirby, TMNT, and who woulda guessed—Pokémon! And I think the award for this one goes to just that <3 I was super young lmao and not really doing much, but I DO have memories of scrolling through Amino and reading Pokémon fanfics/seeing really epic fanart! So I guess that counts, right…? 😂 I was not really interacting with anyone tho- much too shy!- and was keeping all my writing 108 Google doc pages that the world will never see between myself and my close buddies. But in terms of interacting with people—being truly part of something…? That honor goes to FF7! <33 Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have joined such a passionate, creative, and kind community filled with so many passionate, creative, and kind people! (Yourself included!) Every fandom has their thorns ofc, but man do the positives outweigh the negatives by a thousand pounds. And I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else <3

Sudden news

Hey everyone!

Sorry to disappoint y'all, but I think I'm going to put my Marx & Magolor fanfiction titled "A Tale Of Two Traitors" on hold.

Please note that I'm not cancelling it entirely. Just putting it on hiatus. The reason why I'm declaring this is because I'm still experiencing a severe writer's block for it. I've had a lot of stuff to do IRL over the past few weeks and I just haven't found time to work on that fanfic. So I'm deciding that I'm for real going to put it on hold.

Don't worry, there'll be a point where I will go back to working on it.

I promise!

But for now... I'll begin working on a new project.

I'm gonna start doing a Kirby chatfic now. Yes, that's right. A chatfic. A groupchat fic.

I've been wanting to do one for quite some time now, honestly. I've read many of the popular Kirby chatfics (such as "Marx Attempts To Ruin A Group Chat" and "Why Would You Give Everyone A Cell Phone") and enjoyed them very much. I want to make my own shot at doing a chatfic for the Kirby series.

I've already got a plot in mind. I think what makes a good Kirby chatfic is when it actually has a plot, and I've got one planned up. No spoilers yet as to what that plot is, just that I have one in thought.

I hope you look forward to it! As I'll begin working on it, I'm aiming to get the first chapter of it done by late this month or early next month.

The characters in the tags are the ones that will show up in the chatfic, as a hint.

[possessable]

what are some of your fandoms?

short answer: At the moment i like Captain Underpants (no way) (the movie continuity specifically) but i don't tend to stay in fandoms for very long

long answer: Aha! You've made the mistake of asking me something that can be Unnecessarily Over-Categorized into separate lists!

Things i Am Currently or Recently Was a fan of:

Captain Underpants

The Odyssey/Epic The Musical

Rhythm Doctor

Things i fixated on for like A Month that people followed me for but i have a low chance of posting about unless i get into them again:

Deltarune (i will probably get back into this when the new chapters come out)

DHMIS

The Stanley Parable

Markiplier...lore...? like who killed markiplier and stuff. what do you call it

Simon Petrikov (???) (not true i fixated on him for longer than a month i was extremely fixated on him for like 2 years in 2018 and he holds a Dear Place in my heart i just don't . post or think about him anymore)

Mob Psycho 100

Things i am Perpetually a fan of even if i don't post about them often:

Hollow Knight (all of it but Sly especially, also that fanfic Stag Beetles and Broken Legs)

Kirby (I like the Dark Matter Trilogy stuff)

Mario/Sm64

Petscop

Gildedguy

Interface (by Umami)

The Odyssey (i put this already but Polyphemus and Poseidon specifically)

The Dear Hunter (Acts)

let's be honest Captain Underpants is also probably on this list considering i first saw the movie in 2017 and i still like it now

The only things you are guaranteed to see consistently if you follow me:

Possession Adjacent Tropes™ and any medias (usually involving Possession Adjacent Tropes™) that i happen to get into. and also my Dumb Ass OCs . (and stupid shitpost crossovers with whatever my current fixation is + my Dumb Ass OCs)

THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE KIRBY FANFIC IS POSTED!!!!!!

Okay, it’s technically the prologue. But still, it’s very exciting. If you didn’t know, my friend, @pigamariofthestars and I have been working on writing a fan fiction that centers around Marx and Magolor from the Kirby games, as well as some ocs. We’re really excited to share our ideas. It’s called Cor Caroli and is on ao3. You don’t need to have an account to read it, I’m pretty sure. here’s the link

Anyway, here’s some happy Magolor ( our human design for him). He definitely stays that way for the entirety of the fic. He totally doesn’t get traumatized at all…

:)

sorry this was so long, and thanks for reading!!

There isn't enough Metadedede or just general Kirby fanfics out there, so I've been intent on making my own for some time! Ideally I want it to be in the form of a webtoon, but since I don't have the resources at the moment, I'm going to start by posting the prologue on A03.

The fic in its entirety is going to cover all of the events in the Kirby games chronologically, following my own tweaks aka headcanons and the like. Spoiler alert: I'm very passionate about Metadedede and that will be the center of the first installment: my own headcanons of how Dreamland was founded, how Meta and Dedede became who they are, and just the right amount of backstory to set the stage for the story following Kirby's arrival to popstar!

Will be updating on the progress frequently! :)

[desultory-novice]

Once again, my ask box is so packed that I'm bundling a few of these so I don't have to take up everyone's day/dashboard with posts!

This time:

-The Fate of Mirror Galacta Knight -Traitor Magolor vs Elfilis?! -Kirby from Undertale?! (Silly) -Other Characters Babysitting 10 Kirbys -Magolor and Daroach Thievery Dynamics -A Redemption Arc for Zero?! -The Love-Love Stick is The Best

Anon, your concept that there WAS a Mirror Galacta Knight but that they were defeated - perhaps by Galacta themselves - is awesome!! I think the concept that either one or both Galacta's maybe even has a goal to see the other versions of themselves destroyed, pre- or post-sealing, feels very in character for Gala. Perhaps Gala knows of the Dimensional Mirror and doesn't like the concept of falling prey to it. Perhaps Gala truly does seek power and will only be confident in themselves when they are THE only one. Or perhaps they see what's coming and want to stop themselves from banishment and imprisonment across countless dimensions.

As for Galacta borrowing something in memory of his mirror self.. why not, right?! I think that's very cool! Aeon hero is able to turn their wings black and change his armor. It's not out of the realm of possibility! (Nothing is too fanfiction-y to have as a HC! Because neither headcanons or fanfic is something to be ashamed of! So please, indulge in all the fanfic-y thoughts that you wish!)

As for the last part, I totally believe that Magolor saw or encountered Galacta Knight at some point. (I always thought it would be funny myself if the first time Magolor is made aware of Gala is the Lor recording a snipped of Galacta's battle with Meta Knight in the Meta Knightmare Returns. You know, that easter egg where you can sometimes see the Starcutter in the background when Gala attacks? And so Magolor is going through the logs and notices, "Wait, was that a dimensional rift we just passed by? Whoa! Who's the dude who looks like an angry Kirby fighting Meta Knight?! ...Wait, weren't there legends of someone like that in those old texts?")

@a-stardusted-sky

Ahh, thank you so much for the birthday wishes and the nice compliments! I hope you're having a lovely day yourself!

OMG, Traitor Magolor vs Fecto Elfilis in the battle of the big, self-important egos! I can't help but think that even though Magolor ought to have "unlimited power" thanks to the Master Crown, he feels a little limited in creative ways to use that power. Whereas Elfilis would probably have no end of ways to use their dimensional power to ruin Magolor's day! They're both super persistent though, so I imagine neither one would want to give an inch.

As for how Elfilis would react, I imagine those choice words would get even spicier upon seeing Magolor flitting around with the Master Crown. Honestly, if Elfilis has enough of an understanding of the powers made from THEIR power, they could simply toy with Magolor knowing that all they have to do is damage/overload the Crown and then just leave Magolor a gloopy mess.

Is it just me? Sometimes I think of Elfilis as one of those characters that doesn't even have WORDS when they get angry. I think their speech in Lab Discovera was somewhat practiced, and that the capsule had something of a restraining effect on their emotions. Whenever they're free, they're mostly seen roaring and wrathing at people (in contrast to the angelic beauty of their completed form.)

@emeraldcoloredwinter

Not that shocking...!

Pictured: A Peaceful Family Reunion?!

(PS: are there still proponents of the theory that Sans is Ness grown up or was that exactly the kind of theory we make fun of Game Theories for now? I'm so out of the loop...!)

...But also, does that make Gaster Dark Matter? Or some other form of Matter? (...Stop! You shouldn't ask questions you aren't remotely equipped to handle the potential response to, Dess...!!)

--

This is a concept that I absolutely love! And it's been explored so little from what I've seen?! There's that one, err, somewhat infamous(?!) animation series which... ah, congrats on them for putting in all that work to get it done, and I won't say anything negative about them including content that appeals to them personally when, from what I've seen, everything manages to stay in the proper rating. Plus, making a full animation series has got to be SUCH an endeavor that you likely need to write/draw what you love to keep yourself motivated/sane in order to finish but...it's not personally for me. ^^

(Reminds me a bit too much of some of the western animation of my childhood that I wasn't too fond of. Aka, the reason I pivoted to watching anime as soon as I had the chance. ^^; )

BUT that aside, I've also seen some cute fanart on Twitter and such of Magolor not babysitting the 10 Kirbys but commenting on them...and then trying to steal one or two of them while no one is looking to keep for the sake of teasing on his own!

But yes, the idea of other caretakers is rich!

I personally think, in an adventure scenario like Mass Attack, Magolor would have a great time "accidentally" misleading the Kirbys into non-lethal traps, just to see how they fare. Marx would absolutely be a pest to the mini Kirbys! I think, when the chips are down, he would defend them (Kirby is HIS to torment, after all!!) but in times of relative peace, he'd probably try to eat a few... just to see...

The Animal Friends are used to backing up Kirby and would step into the role with no problem. I think Rick would love to ferry the tiny Kirbys around, them clinging to his fur. I think Ribbon's reaction to the 10 tiny Kirbys could be very funny, although that probably depends on where you fall on shipping the two of them.

Meta Knight would be another one who would be really fun/zany for different reasons. I think he would initially TRY to be stoic and treat the 10 Kirbys as if they were as reliable on their own as regular Kirby but then the moment something happens to one of them (even if they ARE in fact okay) his stoic facade breaks and he becomes a nervous wreck/helicopter guardian mode!

The Mage Sisters feel like they would cover the whole spectrum of reactions! Francisca wanting to "keep" some for herself. Flamberge wanting to test how strong they are and laughing when they turn out to be only 1/10th the original Kirby's power. Zan being the one who just... can't stop being ~SHOOKETH~ about the whole thing. (And the fact that Flam and Fran won't stop giggling about the minis!)

Dark Meta Knight would probably swoop them up and them drop them on Shadow Kirby to deal with. Susie would probably be a relatively reliable helper, keeping in touch via her tech whenever any trouble shows... in exchange for the rights to merchandise the mini-Kirbys after everything is over. >w<

@icedragonlizard

Hee! I got around to reading some of your dynamics posts, by the way! They're really good! (I still have more to read through yet!) But yes! This is super cute! Especially since both their tastes lean toward the collection of the ancient... and dangerous!

It's absolutely one of those things where one or the other will be proudly talking about their latest haul/salvage and the moment they have their eyes turned, the other is walking out the door with it!

Neither means the other any harm, so it doesn't hurt their friendship any. But there is absolutely a twinge of jealousy. 

"H-How did you...?! But... but... I've been looking for that EVERYWHERE!" "Looks like you were looking in the wrong places."

Everyone else is probably relieved by this strange dynamic they've got because it keeps most of the rest of THEIR collections safe!

Hmm, you know, I'm not certain that Zero as they are COULD have a redemption arc. They feel too... primordial for that. As if they are nothing more than the incarnation of what they can become, which renders them nil (fufu...) to change.

But Zero 2.... yes. I think there's room there. I think Zero 2 is a lot like Void in that they are searching for identity after their destruction and resultant... rebirth? (Or simply the act of living on in a new form? Zero 2 is such a fascinating mystery!)

But I think about the fact that while Zero's theme is just mystery and weirdness and fight music, Zero 2's theme is so... sad. 

(Btw, I listened to Man on the Internet's Zero 2 with lyrics recently and really liked it. It had this great feeling of... inevitability to it? I'm typically a bit mixed on Kirby boss themes (:cough: I haven't yet found a Marx one I like though I really like some of the lyrical motifs in Itoki Hana's version :cough:) but I liked this one.)

Anyway, as for Zero 2's redemption, I think it would all tie back to the fairies, really. Zero 2 spent pretty much the entire length of the game possessing the Queen of Ripple Star and I'm one of those "you can't really possess someone/be possessed by someone without that having an effect on you. For both the possessor and the possessed."

And whether or not the Queen is one of the heroes of lore, we have reason to believe she is both a being of power and a powerful being for good. (Why else would Dark Matter target Ripple Star FIRST without getting near Popstar? Well, getting their non-existent tail kicked might have something to do with it! XD )

So basically, I imagine that either Zero 2 picked up...something from the Queen or that the Queen might take it upon herself to preserve some form of Zero 2. To give it a chance to redeem itself. Surely, this would wig out certain of the fairies, who still remember their home's invader, and I imagine Zero 2 to be something that would probably have a very hard time understanding the difference between doing good and doing evil - only that one gets praised and one doesn't.

They might never be able to understand. They might never be able to be a friend, or left alone with an innocent creature, as invasion and corruption could be so woven into their nature that they couldn't HELP but hurt it, even though no intention to do harm was there. But through a bond/a deal with the queen, they might be assist in helping other planets that Zero had harmed or at least be stopped from harming anyone else.

...I dunno. It's interesting though!

@newthinkerer

I love the Love-Love Stick so much! You're right in that it's so uniquely Kirby's! Not just as an artifact, but as a representation of what Kirby would do when a genki dama's worth of power is sent his way! (Sorry for the random DBZ reference!

That and Dess loves magical girls / maho shoujo shows so the fact that is a really good approximation of a magical transformation wand is also excellent in my book! (Let Kirby Be A Magical Girl!!)

Speaking of the maho shoujo genre... a decent variety of finishing attacks are about "healing" the inner darkness/corruption/violence of their opponent/monster of the week rather than destruction. That Kirby would fight Zero with love in an attempt to heal them/the damage they have done to Popstar... It's all too good!

(The fact that it destroys them and all the Dark Matter too is a bit sad. But Void takes damage from Friend Hearts so...)

I like your idea about Gooey too. Either taken perfectly literal or as a metaphor -- that Gooey couldn't/was afraid to tap into their Dark Matter origins until he was shown enough love and acceptance that it was safe for him, emotionally, to do so.

...But of course, the other best thing about the Love-Love Stick is that Kirby KEEPS IT after the events of Dream Land 3 only to proceed to use it to bap people over the head with it in Star Stacker SNES!! Gryll, you have the honor of being defeated by the same weapon that was used to obliterate Zero. And yet, Gryll totally survived. Gryll strongest last boss canon?!?

fanfic request !!! (SPECIFICALLY WITH MY PERSONAL SELF INSERT/OC). Based on info given in dms, Headcanons for Alastor and attempting to get the human he made a deal with and brought to Hell to be less, well, anxious about his current situation being in Hell. Can be a bit on the yandere or even possessive side if you like ^^

One-Shots and Headcanons Masterlist

Reactive mutism: a reaction to trauma and/or abuse

OC belongs to @kirbybooo

Kirby always had a strange fascination with the occult, so when he started hearing constant radio noises around, he figured that some kind of entity might be trying to communicate with him

He knew that a lot of the self-proclaimed ghost hunters and ghost busters often used radios to communicate with the creatures from the beyond, so first thing in the morning he decided to order a very old school looking radio from an antique shop

When it arrived, plugging it in Kirby messed with the dials so that it would be on the same wavelength as the signals

“Oh dearie, what might this be?”

Alastor, whom was currently in the world of the living hunting wondered as he felt an unfamiliar radio signal

Paying it no mind, he continued with his pursuit of his latest victim

Soon, he started receiving message from whoever was responsible, though they were very strange to say the least

There were numerous voices cut together forming sentences, a clever way for Kirby to reach out without having to use his voice as he was unable to talk due to severe traumas in his life which ended up restricting his ability to speak quite a bit, but more about that later

Sniffing out the source of the signal, the deer demon decided to observe Kirby for a bit

It was a long, long time since someone reached out to him and talked to him WILLINGLY and without fear, even the Hazbin Hotel residents could not deny they felt uneasy around someone of his caliber

It was more than obvious Kirby’s life was a mess, it reminded Alastor of Angel Dust’s situation with Valentino, and he was more than ready to exploit that

Sending the little human a message offering his services, he expectantly awaited his reaction and soon enough, received a confirmatory response

Appearing in his modest apartment, Kirby stared at his “saviour”

He looked nothing like he would imagine a demon to look like, especially with his cute little antlers and fluffy ears and tail

A deal was formed soon after

In exchange for Kirby’s soul, the deer demon had to get Kirby out of his abusive situation using any means necessary

Looks like human meat was back on the menu for today

Teleporting back to Hell, Alastor strode towards the Hazbin Hotel looking forward to showing everyone his new human pet

If by taking his soul Alastor meant right after Kirby got a taste of his newfound freedom, he might have thought twice about making this deal or, more like made it specifically known that his soul would only be for taking after his death (which would have to not be caused by Alastor)

But a deal was a deal, there was no going back now

At least the people at this strange hotel seemed nice enough, though they first assumed Kirby’s unwillingness to talk to them to be rude at first, but thanks to a good old pen and paper they were able to understand his situation and to communicate just fine

Angel Dust felt instantly protective of Kirby as he could relate to him the most, knowing just how loathsome such a lifestyle is and what it does to a person’s psyche

Charlie welcomed him with a warm smile and open arms while Vaggie was glaring daggers at Alastor, standing between you two and pointing her trusty spear at his throat, cursing at him in Spanish about the repercussions and dangers of bringing a human to Hell

Niffty was quick to introduce herself as the “maid” of the hotel with a polite handshake and evident excitement in her eye

Husk stayed at the bar, observing the situation while downing a bottle of cheap booze

He seemed to be the most laid-back guy around here, so Kirby naturally gravitated towards him for a drink while the cat demon offered to indulge him in some stories of his life as a human in order to avoid awkward silence

The little human was a handful for sure, sulking over his unfair deal with Alastor, sneaking out in order to discover the ins and outs of Hell, partying and drinking way too much (in Alastor’s opinion) with Angel Dust and Husk, arguing with Vaggie over your intentions with the hotel and running around like a pair of goofs with Niffty

Maybe, just maybe it was more than Alastor bargained for

Perhaps he will just get a collar with a leash to get his new human pet to not run around like a fool, getting constantly either lost or in trouble

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months and slowly but surely, Alastor picked up on the fact Kirby was slowly starting to express himself not with a paper and a pen, but with his own voice

It started with small hmm’s and ohhh’s, gradually turning into single words as responses until it fully bloomed into short sentences

His voice was but a gentle whisper, yet it was tremendous progress from his previous muteness

But Alastor soon found out he wanted to be the only one who would be blessed to hear Kirby’s voice and just hearing him address anyone else made his blood boil, smile wavering

Yet he knew kidnapping was not an option as he noted Kirby only graced those he trusted with his words and doing such a thing would break the already delicate trust the two had

So there are only 3 possible options

First one, Alastor gets over his pettiness and accepts the fact he’s not the only important figure in Kirby’s life (VERY unlikely)

Second one, Alastor kidnaps his little pet, breaking his trust and reverting to being mute (he’ll resort to this only as a last option)

Third one, manipulation (the most probable option)

And oh boy is Alastor good at manipulating others

He’ll expertly manipulate him like a puppet without him even realizing it to the point where in his mind, there will only be Alastor

And since Alastor is the only one he needs, there is no necessity for the others now, no?

“Oh dearie, don’t you think I should be the only one deserving of that delectable voice of yours?”

Versus Chef Kawasaki! This man found a weird star somewhere in Dreamland and his first idea was to cook it and see what it tasted like. I think he is going to get himself killed if this is just a normal thing for him. Then again, maybe he has an incredibly high poison tolerance that we just dont know about??? Anyways I posted the first image on discord and someone said he looked like Jesus LOL. Like smh not every guy with long brownish hair and a beard is trying to be Jesus!! He just has those cuz I think they suit him! And his hair isn't always the same color. Just generally it's a sorta rusty orange color (like the outside of a ham....) to match his in game sprites. Again I find that I go about coloring these the way Araki might. Nothing's all that consistent but it's fun that way!

I've actually drawn Kawasaki using a similar design to this one before! The only real difference is that he doesn't have crow's feet here, since he's somewhat younger. I'll add them later in the timeline! During Super Star/Ultra I think? He's just a normal human guy who has a passion for cooking, no special abilities or anything. He's just very smart when it comes to food! (though idk maybe not SUPER smart since. he did just pick up a weird star and try to eat it LOL. He is open to experimentation even if it will kill him???) I also think it was interesting how he's cooking but he's outside? I suppose he was camping then since Kirby was! Maybe THATS why I think KSS is set in summer...

Also does this new pen suck or what??? I do NOT like using it its so flimsy. I hope it runs out so I can use something else LOL.

Anyhow, bad news & vent under the cut:

I'm gonna be brief abt this since I dont want to go into detail but essentially I was in a bad accident yesterday n I'm really traumatized about it! No one was hurt but it was just really scary and I'm all sore and have bruises from it now. So I'm doing that thing that fanfic authors sometimes do where I'm posting even though real life is very dire and scary. My car got wrecked though, so I could probably use more commissions right about now... though I don't know if I'll be able to work on them because I'm sore! Maybe I should start commissions in a week or perhaps several. Point is I don't feel good at all but I'm still drawing Kirby because it makes me feel somewhat better.
