note: pollmaker is thinking of the USAmerican lottery system (powerball, mega millions, state lottos, scratchoffs, etc), but poll applies to other countries lotteries systems so long as its still the same concept of "big ol state sponsered gambling shit", but not like casino style gambling. u know what i mean, Lottos.
questions for the tags: how regularly, what stuff you play, if you have limits for yourself, if you feel like its a Problem for you, and for funsies the usual 'first thing youd do if you won the lottery' shit
reblog to have absolutely zero effect on your luck either way. just like, absolutely no change in luck whether you reblog this or scroll past. this is the luck neutral post reblog in the next 30 seconds or dont who give a shit

One of the main things I dislike about book 2 Lestat vs book 1 Lestat is it just takes away a lot of the interesting mystery about his character in the first book to have him definitively answer everything like: "oh actually I WAS hiding a bunch of secrets of the vampire universe and rules and hierarchy and history from you the entire time, and actually I WAS also filthy rich secretly the entire time due to a treasure left to me by my maker and didn't actually need you for your money at all, and also I wasn't a bit insecure about my lower class upbringing and poorer education and trying to compensate for that by being both showy and secretive about myself I was actually a noble, and also I CAN do a bunch of other vampire things that I never taught you to do or did in front of you even though we lived together in the same house as a family for like 70 years, and yes I DO hate following rules and doing what I'm told and keeping secrets but I did it because Marius said your fragile minds couldn't handle the truth if I DID tell you anything else, and also I DIDN'T want any revenge on Claudia or blame her for attempting to murder me or think I maybe should undo what I did by making her one bit, I was just being forced by the even EVILLER vampire to have her condemned to death, and also almost everything questionable or problematic or cruel that I did within the first book was either a lie told by Louis or secretly actually a kind and heroic thing I did because I cared about someone other than myself, IN FACT I SECRETLY THE ENTIRE TIME HAD A STRICT MORAL CODE I WAS FOLLOWING every time I casually killed an innocent npc in the first book, and whenever you watched on in horror at my cruelty and toying with my victims I was actually only killing scummy evildoers and Louis was just too dumb and romanticizing of humans to ever see it etc..." like FINE WHATEVER, I GUESS hahaha but I actually kind of liked you better when you were a bit meaner and a bit petty and a bit imperfect and a bit lame

Can I be honest, this might be a controversial Kirby opinion but I think... They peaked with Magolor for Boss battles and design... Now I know that's saying a lot considering Star Dream and the blue guy from Forgotten Land exist, but honestly, Magolor's song, background and design (especially Soul design) is iconic.
The scene where it turns all white and his crown upgrades? It is my very first thought if Kirby bosses get brought up. Maybe it's nostalgia speaking but I don't really have much of an attachment to the other bosses. I think they kind of drag on a bit too long, though I do think the inside of Void Termina is also kind of iconic but only for it's stage.
Ok so like, after Magolor, Sectonia has an iconic music piece, I think it's matched or maybe a bit higher on my personal tier list for Kirby boss music. Star Dream's design overall is iconic to me, I love robot stuff. Void Termina's staging is kind of very pretty and the final scene with Elfilis with the truck is pretty cool... But I don't think any of them ever matched up with Magolor for me personally.
Like even past Star Dream I can't remember Void Termina or Elfilis's boss music. I think Kirby music has gotten a bit more... Grandiose? I could be wrong and maybe it's just my taste in music but I think they've kind of complicated a bit more of the simple melody Kirby would have for it's boss music, but I don't know, I'm not a music expert. All of this is just my opinion though
Though I think Star Dream is probably 2nd place though, I just don't think it needed 5 million phases because good lord it's so long. Also I think the difference between it and Magolor's fight is that Magolor's is a lot more personal, since you can use any abilities he throws at you or fight him just as Kirby, while you fight as Halberd against Star Dream. You have to think a lot more on what to do with Magolor's fight compared to Star Dream where you spam A. I don't know where I'm going with this, I just think Magolor's fight is peak, and I still think he has the best Soul Design next to probably Sectonia Soul.
