#(Have to write more Castle Dedede w Marx hijinks now...)

[desultory-novice]

I’m sure I’ve stolen this punchline from something.

You almost never see these two together, and I think that’s a shame! (I can see Bandee, as Kirby’s ‘second banana,’ being another favorite target for Marx’s pranks. Also, I really realllllly like the idea of Marx getting hired as worming his way into becoming Dedede’s court jester so these two, as the inevitable, surprisingly “smartest in the room” residents of Castle Dedede, end up spending a lot of time together. Maybe begrudgingly, in Bandee’s case?)

But secretly the two actually have a mutual respect for each other, being a Waddle Dee and a Noddy respectively, they each know what it’s like to be underestimated by most other species in Pop Star.)
