Happy Birthday Kirby! to celebrate I wanted to create a series of illustrations based on the 'it's Kirby Time' series <3

'It's Kirby Time - A world without Kirby'

I created a read-along video to go alongside it as well <3 I'm not the best voice actor with mediocre equipment but it was fun to make!

if tumblr ever does die, it's easy. if we were mutuals and had spoken before, contact me through discord dm or any of the surviving empire routes (messenger, instagram, whatsapp, imessage). if those are down or you never got my details but you do know my government name and location, send a letter to the general post office of my capital city. if we weren't mutuals or you don't know those details, leave a note in the comments section of my least-played amv on youtube like they did with historical ledgers on the walls of stores in pompeii. if youtube is down, pull out any bad screenshots of my posts (or fabricate some) and make some noise on r/HobbyDrama. if reddit is down, create an rpf tag on ao3 for my online persona and write your message into the fabric of a story. if ao3 is down, the discussion page for the wikimedia file upload of the largest scan of Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. if wikimedia is down, forums.whirlpool.net.au. if the internet is down we have no further business with each other

the really crazy thing about cooking is that once you practice it enough (for all the gamers reading this: "grind enough exp") your threshold for wuat counts as a low effort / depression / I Dont Really Want To Cook meal rises steadily and you can feel yourself becoming the kind of person whose "chill dinner" takes 1h45 and involves three pans

A Tutorial Masterpost

Some tutorials that I’ve come across, organized both for my own viewing pleasure and to hopefully assist others as well. I update this list whenever I come across new, helpful pieces.

A lot of these are hosted on my personal Tumblr, but I don’t change my url so it’s pretty safe to bookmark them there (and not have to worry about the url changing) if you don’t wish to reblog them yourself for whatever reason.
