Ha llegado el momento de participar de Galem en el torneo... Si es que consigue entrar

@kirbyoctournament

Espero que al campeón le vaya bien, lo único que tengo claro que su familia va a estar animándolo.

Galacta's husband and Kirby's father.

Champion of the shield and one of the four heroes of old who sealed the Void, he is an expert in barriers and counterattacks. Although he does not like having weapons, it is known that his favorite weapon is spears.

He is a calm and gentle Puff until you touch his food, his brooch, or his family. When that happens he has a character comparable to his wife.

He met his wife, she stole his food since she thought that he should not be there since he seemed like someone weak and not to be in the fight against Void, if it were not for Solaris who blocked both of their attacks, placing him in the middle. , when they went too far in their fight, both would have ended badly, after that they met and after everything happened they started dating.

Years later they married and had Kirby's egg, many years later they adopted the rest of their children until by a miracle Morpho cured Galacta, since from Kirby's post an old wound left her infertile, allowing them to conceive the youngest of them, Ambar.

Hello Jacs! For fanfic asks: 7, 13, 20, 21

Fanfic author ask questions :)

What fic are you the proudest of?

Follow My Voice, the solavellan fic I wrote for the 2024 DA Big Bang! This was really the first time that I'd written something properly long, and not just oneshots and stuff. I really wasn't sure if I'd be able to do it going in, but I did!! And I still think it is some of my most tightly written and plotted stuff. I made so many fandom friends in that event and I'm so glad I did it!!

Also shout out to Food is a Love Language a galemance fic which was the first thing I'd written for fun in over a decade! It's not my best work by any means, but I'm still so proud of it because it was such a massive step! <3

What made you start writing?

Okay, this is going to get personal and a bit dark, and I've talked a bit about this before, but I was a really voracious writer as a kid (like, 13 maybe?). And I was so passionate about it and really wanted to 'make it' as a writer and even get published one day!

However, as it always does, shit happened. I developed some pretty bad mental health stuff, which I've only really started to get sorted out in the last couple of years with lots of therapy.

I legitimately thought I had lost it forever. Even though I hadn't written in a decade I still always wanted to write, I just couldn't. And I thought it would stay that way forever, that it was always going to be a 'what if' kind of thing. Some distant hope I'd never be able to get back to, ruined by my mental health struggles.

But! It was about a year into this (successful) attempt at therapy that I was playing Baldur's Gate. And... idk I just had stories to tell again. The words started flowing again.

Surely this was just a fluke, I said to myself. But the words kept on coming. I kept writing BG3 stuff, then moved onto Dragon Age which I've loved for years. And there's such an amazing writing community here that I just kind of haven't stopped! So massive shout out to y'all for being amazing and wonderful, honestly the impact it has had on my mental health is immeasurable <3

Have you ever made a playlist for a fic? (Share?)

Okay, deep and personal stuff over, lets vibe to music haha. Because oh god, do I ever. I have so many OC/fic playlists its not even funny. Linking to two!

What is something that no one has caught about one of your fics?

I... honestly don't know... This is more of a fun fact than anything else, but maybe the way I try and depict slavery in my Ancient Arlathan AU? I am always extremely careful about the words I use in regards to this, and I always make sure to use the word 'slave' (so much that it occurs nearly 150 times!).

It is very important to me that you call a spade a spade, you don't call them 'servants' to try and make it more comfortable to live in the world of the characters.

It hasn't really been commented upon as far as I remember, but it is something I am intentional about :)
