hey. un-bugs your fables. kirbifies those fables

the idea to draw team snakemouth as kirby species just kind of came out of nowhere and whoops hand slipped it's a whole au now

more things about this under the cut (bug fables + forgotten land spoilers there too)

so in general beetles are puffs and bees are fairies but only leif* is a chinchilla thingy

ants & everyone living in the ant kingdom is a pop star resident like waddle dees and the common enemies

the ant royal lineage is penguins like king dedede /insert masked dedede joke

the wasps are the bug people from triple deluxe, the termites are halcandrans, and the roaches are the ancients

basically the master crown replaces the vespidae mind control crown. hoaxe is one of the spider thingies like joronia/taranza and somehow got all six of his hands on the master crown and... you know how that went for the last person that tried to use it

the everlasting sapling is like nova but less cat and more plant. it grants whatever you wish for, but immortality is the most common wish so that's what it's known for

the deadlanders are dark matter, omega is a zero. the giant's lair looks like dark star

*leif and zommoth are chinchilla thingies. instead of "siblings" they're two halves of a whole like elfilin and fecto forgo, so the conclusion of leif's request looks a lot like katfl's true ending

morpho knight is just morpho knight here. wouldn't it be cool if butterfly grim reaper was also part of the bug fables mythos

about designs: yes, leif is using their ears as a cloak. yes, kabbu's sword is a visual pun on meta knight's master sword. no, we didn't think until after drawing this that vi's beemerang should look like a crystal shard but we wish we did

the literal master sword may or may not be sentient like galaxia. we have no idea what the beast is in this au so what happened to the actual master (and bit) is a mystery

and that's... all we have for now! we'll try to expand on this in the future because this idea is Captivating Our Brain
