TOP 5 FAVORITE KIRBY CHARACTERS

GO

AUGHAHGSBABDH....I LOVE ALL OF THEM SOSOSO MUCH <33 BUT HERE'S SOME OF THE ONES I THINK ARE VERY COOL (plus my thought process when drawing them)

6. cmonn... its kirby. kirby from kirby. he's such a wonderful fellow and so awe inspiring and cute and manifestation of love and friendship. he's a bonus but how could you not love him.

5. pitch!!!!! i love him i love him i love him. og birb with g r e e n colors and squeaky little design. plus he's super fun to use in DL3 :] to me he is a 7 year old kid who wants to be included with the big kids, and tries to act all cool and tough to impress them (but he really just loves his mama). i like drawing him with giant ahoges/head feathers, as well as giving him that long side-beak that i'm pretty sure i got from pato from pocoyo??

4. susie is amazing and wonderful and has a beautifully complex character that more people need to recognize!!! she's a capitalist and constantly has a condescending sales representative demeanor, but at heart she's just a playful girl who loves pink and ice cream and her dad that never got to have a full childhood to experience them. ALSO cyborg susie! i like to think her father let her choose one body modification each year on her birthday, but after the portal incident, she's been giving herself so many alterations that she's barely organic anymore (her voice is very AI sounding to me). uhh i like drawing her with little stars on her cuffs, and as of late i've been making her hair very fluffy (it has the same texture of a barbie doll)

3. RIBBON AAAA!!!!!!!!! i'll admit as a kid i did not like her but god she is a joy. that is a little girl! look at her! i love the idea of her being just a weird little chihuahua girl who performs seances regularly and knows the entire history of weaponry. also her being the crystal knight/guardian of ripple star headcanon!!! 🗣️🗣️ she is 100% the queen's adopted sister prove me wrong. lastly, i try to draw her as heart-shaped as possible— wings, head, hair, bow, eye highlights all vaguely resemble a heart and that is my biggest rule when i draw her. her little coat thing is inspired by @//somethinginworl 's design <33

2. bandana dee is my heart and soul and we tolerate ZERO disrespect for him here. even in canon, he's got one of the most well-defined personalities and backstories for a non-villain character! (in my heart he is the waddle dee from 64 and you can pry this from me with my cold dead hands) he's grown sososo much and i love how hal recognizes his development :]]] he may never amount to the same power as kirby, but goddammit if he doesn't have a heart and will of a true warrior 💜 i don't have a lot of idiosyncratic design choices since he's such a simple character, but his bandana ears must always be HUGE you hear me.

1. um. if you can't tell. i am very normal about adeleine. her moves in SA are super fun to use (and challenging), and oh my goshhhh the angst potential here. i am begging hal to bring her back in future games, especially with the more ancients-focused lore being incorporated recently. at heart though, i just really adore seeing her draw and paint amidst all these magical creatures in her life <3 she's slightly shy but super passionate, and is definitely kirby's big sister with her advice (especially in the storybooks!) and nicknames for him (kir-kun/kirbs in the manga). i caved long ago and gave her curtain bangs, and i really like dressing her up and experimenting with different outfits! *breathes heavily* the happy little artist kid makes me a very happy little artist kid 🫶

thanks for listening to my ramblings! in all honesty all of the kirby characters are my favorites and choosing just 5 is very hard and thought-inducing! :]

Next follower goal, I might be doing prizes. Who knows?

[1pcii]

mh yea! i definatly think the fact that they looks so similar and have the same main conflict to the point ZORO points it out is where most of that theory comes from. which I find funny because oda also makes it a point to say how DISSIMILAR they are, kuina was loud and abrasive and competitive while tashigi is more soft-spoken or atleast calm and by-the-book. their main goals are different and ZORO is the irrational one for being so hung up on their similarities and projecting onto tashigi. people make a literal connection in what's just a parallel. tho getting more of a backstory on tashigi is always a nice idea.

FR!!!! there's something about being a 1pc swordsman that gives you such A complex relationship with gender and your body and mortality and and. I wonder if it's because of how important swordsmanship' is in wano which has a more traditional view on gender in general 🤔. AND YEAAA I LOVE KIKU TOO. she's so fucking cool. I love when shes downplaying her skills on purpose and zoro is all 'ik you don't need me to save you' and she's like 'yea yknow what Ur right' and goes all out in her introduction!!! she's amazing <3

[post source]

THEY CAN LITERALLY HOLD SO MUCH GENDER IN THEM.

that fics sounds incredible!!!! I'll be sure to give it a read omg. I fucking love kuina lives au's so much and ZORO being part of HIS motivation, I'm sobbing that's such A cool idea. the first person to ever really see you for who you are, to make you feel like you can do anything RAAHGDJDHDIDJ I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. AND FUCK YEA KUINA AND TASHIGI INTERACTIONS!!! their potential dynamic is so interesting to me. I wholeheartedly believe that if kuina lived SHE would be tashigi's rival and it would be so good for a couple reasons.

-the difference in gender opinions is so much more direct because it's coming from the person themselves on not their younger brother who lives out their memory

-WADO ICHIMONJI

that fics relationship between trans!kuina and tashigi reminds me a bit of the dynamic between trans!zoro and kuina in aether above. trans zoro who never got to tell kuina and then she dies and he never can 😭.

ALSO YESS MASC WOMAN KUINA. non-binary kuina also <3 every gender and gender presentation works for her in such unique and interesting ways!!!

the GNC swag in this pic

I love how her design is so gnc also because it feels very symbolic of how gender doesn't (or atleast shouldn't) matter to childeren. kids are kids and are unburdened by societal gendered expectations. AND ZORO WEARING KUINA SHIRT STYLE AS AN ADULT TO SHOW HE KEEPS THAT WAY OF THINKING/IN HER MEMORY AAAAH.

OMG I felt the same way tbh. I got into 1pc mainly because of opla but reading the animanga version of kuina and Zoro's story hit so much harder. opla imo toned it down alot by having koushiro be a supportive father and the dojo being mixed gendered (which is prolly just netflix background character diversity stuff) but it kinda cheapens her situation where she is being FED this rehtoric and is being reinforced by her being the only girl at her dojo, making her insecurities feel so randomly attached. where's the puberty horror? where is the loneliness of being a girl in a ''''boys world'''', she was so alone and zoro ultimatly being the one to come to an understanding and befriend her is sososo important.

but her story in the animanga, GOD yea it hit me so hard. transmascs when a female character has the same issues as them 🤝‼️.

ZOROS BACKSTORY AND TRAUMA IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO HIS MENTALITY AND VIEWS ON GENDER AS LIKE, SANJI'S FOR EXAMPLE. they so obviously parallel but ppl don't give HALF as much though into zoro genderism as sanji. (probably because he's more chill about it until tashigi shows up lol). but still a backstory dosnt have to be super angsty and layered with explicit suffering to be complex and important. zoro also just isnt that kind of character, every obstacle and conflict he uses to better and motivate himself, we love a mental health king <3.

the 2001th battle is cinema to me idc idc. I'm so glad we're in agreement of this vision 🤝. genuinely it's so cool that we both share so many thoughts on these characters I feel like they're so slept on sometimes besides generally referencing them. Zoro carrying on kuina will with his own. the fucking... 3 motif is so good. his dream being symbolised by three ppl (himself kuina and Luffy) YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS TO ME.

the way he carries her sword and the beliefs that gave her hope in her last days with him to the top. crying sobbing I'm w you think about them all the damn time <333

SHADAHKNKAS saw u in the notes of some kuina posts and that made me realize that there is simply a bond with kuina and tashigi fans, who may even often be the same fan, because AOUGHHH KUINA I CARE HIM SO MUCH episode 19 literally changed me forever. swords + gender struggles are all you need to hook me on a character sometimes Maybe. the whole greatest swordsman promise... sob. also. something about zoro promising his name will reach the heavens and trans kuina. which made me think.. what if kuina and The trans fear of dying then having your deadname on your tombstone that you can't do anything about because you're dead. kuina dying before they even get to figure everything out and all of a sudden he's just known as kuina forever, and then zoro making a name for himself in kuina's honor or something idk (i like zoro's backstory) (KUINA )

THERE ISS. people who theorise that they are secretly related or the same person or direct parallels are so close to getting it but don't imo (no shade to those theories tho, I just personally find them narratively unsatisfying).

like they are parallels in that kuina is symbolic of the sexism people suffer and tashigi is an adult woman who has come out the other end sword swinging but ultimately so unsure of herself as a result. also the (trans)genderisms, we are all hand in hand 🤝.

MAN KUINAS STORY BROKE ME DOWN ON A BASE LEVEL AND REWIRED NY BRAIN. I had to take a break from reading just to let it soak in it's so good, a swordsmans promise indeed, that scene was beautiful, I love zoro the world's first a accidental feminist <3. zoro carrying on her dream with his will never not have me in hysterics.

FUCK YEA THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA. I have soo many thoughts about baby!zoro and kuina and trangenderism. egg kuina cis zoro, egg kuina STEALTH TRANS ZORO ABSVDJFBKSHDKDN <333.

little baby zoro looking at his grave with the uncontrollable urge to carve out those letters. to carry and rearrange them and make sure they get back to him in the afterlife spelling 'worlds greatest swordsman'.

trans kuina makes me so emotional because ultimately I don't know if they were canonically trans but it's my FAVOURITE 'what if' for them. they never really got to be anyone outside the dojo masters daughter. the failure of a heir and the girl who beat zoro 2001 times. who would they have been if they got to grow up? come to terms with themselves and unlearned all that heavy, painful biases pushed onto them? as a transmasc who's studying into a (cis)male dominated field myself ik, the feelings of 'betrayal' and 'proving misogynists right' and imposter syndrome and inadequacy issues and perfectionism they might've gone through,,, sobbing my eyes out HE MEANS EVERYTHING TO MEE.

zoros backstory is genuinely one of my favourite parts of the manga idc how 'simple' it was it's still beautiful.

[pyonzzz]

Please tell me about the fucked up little Pokémon oc siblings

hehe . hehehe . uueehehehe

obligatiry warning for faked suicides , some death , and toxic families

sososo important backstory is most of the siblings story takes place in my fan region , fioreé ( fee-or-eh ) , which is located somewhere to the north of unova !! and in fioreé its . mostly snow . its a very cold region and that part isnt really relevant but i think its very funny and cool ( hehe )

so here is where we meet a pokemon nurse / caretaker named grace , and her explorer husband , fissure . grace and fissure are the sweetest people youll ever meet , and they dont like to battle with their pokemon at all . most of them arent even officially caught in pokeballs , theyre just gentle people who want to live in complete peace with pokemon . grace runs a hospital / daycare out of their home for pokemon , often injured ones that fissure finds while exploring and brings home

they have a child and name them dogwood , and raise dogwood , who we will call dog for short , with their same values of non violence and harmony with pokemon . dog seems disinterested from a young age with continuing the family business , and prefers more academic things , which fissure and grace understand and allow

everything is fine , in dogs eyes , until they turn 7 and their parents have another child — this one named deerwood , who well call deer for short . from birth , deer seemed much more invested with the pokemon surrounding him , and it was clear to dog that their parents seemed to favour deer and his love of pokemon more than they did dog and their academics

this came to a head when one day , a wild , rampaging pokemon comes to the familys home / hospital and scares off most of the pokemon staying there , the only ones remaining being those that belonged to fissure and grace . by this time , dog is 18 and deer is 11 . the pokemon ( a legendary unknown to the kids ) attacks and eventually kills grace and fissure , and instead of fighting the pokemon , the parents sent out their pokemon to take the children to the nearest town to keep them safe

from this point onward , the siblings are nearly left to fend for their own . a friend of their parents gives them an apartment to live in once what happened is learned by the town , but dog has to balance working to pay bills and school with taking care of deer , and deer drops out of school to help out at the local pokecenter

dog refuses to get near any pokemon , even their parents old partners , a stantler and an arcanine , instead releasing them from their pokeballs . the two pokemon occasionally visit the children , mostly deer , until they pass of old age

meanwhile , deer continues to devote himself to caring for pokemon , so one day he can soothe any rampaging pokemon and prevent anyone else from going through what he did

dog was in the top of their classes , but due to their hatred of pokemon and overall antisocial demeanor , they were often bullied in school . they would in turn take this anger out on deer , berating him and such for the smallest things . deer never got mad at dog for it , though , as he view his older sibling as yet another rampaging pokemon to soothe one day

but dog ends up getting scouted by a scientific group , one wanting to understand everything about nature and the world . they ultimately want to return the world to a blank slate , with no humans or pokemon , for the longevity of the planet , even if they use pokemon in the meantime to help in some aspects of their plan . when they tell this to a now 22yr old dog , dog joins immediately , and within a year is promoted all the way up to vice-chairman of team ghast , the underground scientific laboratory

deer learns quickly what his older sibling is doing and absolutely despises it , because it goes against everything their parents taught them . but dog doesnt care about grace and fissure , since " they didnt care about me , either . just like you to kiss their asses as always , deerwood " . dog tries to convince deer repeatedly to join team ghast , but deer refuses and starts making secret plans to leave fioreé to live in peace

but to do this , they have to do something extreme , as dog was the sort of person to be able to track down deer almost immediately if he went anywhere behind dogs back thanks to fissures exploration teachings . so deer , 15yrs old , after months of making plans , fakes his own death with an attempt on his life that hospitalizes him , wherein the doctors and nurses help him escape his toxic older sibling . deer then goes into hiding before flying out to kalos by himself , to live freely with pokemon and never looking back on fioreé . he still has it in his heart that he wants to soothe dogs anger , but he wants to be happy , too , and his parents taught him that it can be dangerous to always protect others and not yourself

dog , meanwhile , takes the " death " of their little brother horribly , blaming themselves and their parents and the world itself for the loss . they devote themselves wholeheartedly to team ghast and their goal to erase all life from the planet . because theyve lost their parents to pokemon, they lost their brother to the pain living creatures cause . if they cant have happiness in this world , nobody can . they eventually become the ruler of team ghast after catching their first pokemon partner , an absol , and defeating the teams leader in a landslide battle .

maybe they reunite . maybe they dont . only tine will tell

now for lighthearted fun facts !! the story of my fan region was also a " fan game " i was planning , which would take place 3 years after deer runs away . 18yr old deer is 6'2" and 25yr old dog is 5'7" . deer is transfem with he / him pronouns and dog is intersex agender with a fem presentation

hey, so I'm p sure I followed you a while back when we were in the same fandom((s)??? idk) but I still follow you now bc you seem really cool and you post a lot of pretty anime gifs. anyway I was just wondering what akira was about bc I've never seen it, and it looks really interesting so i'm wondering if I should check it out. so what's like, the basic rundown of the plot? thank you for helpin me out

sure!!! i’ll give a Vague description of the movie.. but not th manga cause its rlly long and even though the movie will probably be harder to follow w/o having read the manga, it’s a big commitment u kno. so um i’m gonna be vague so i don’t spoil much even tho i’ve been reblogging a million gifs. also i’m on mobile so idk how to put it under a cut i am So Sorry BUT:

so obvi it’s after world war III but it turns out the war was actually caused by a child who was taken in after being discovered to have psychic abilities, then tested on heavily for having the potential to be extremely powerful, n then losing control and basically becoming a meat sack of power and , Hng, Exploding. but with him there were like . fuck . twenty? HNGG I GUESS twenty other kids like him but tht didnt have the same Power? I Guess ? idk how to explain it but these kids were discovered, secretly tested on in hopes for being used in the military, then one of them EXPLODED !! AND THAT KID WAS NAMED AKIRA AAAA anyway so That Happens but the shitheads who tested on him still had to keep all the Experiments a secret so they covered it up w/ the War Excuse. but guess WHAT! they still kept the kids and gave them their medicine and kept them secret and theyre not even kids anymore? its been like 30yrs? and only three of them survived the explosion ITS FUCKED theyre wrinkly and little but they each have their own little powers its great. thats the BackStory I Guess that wasn’t explained in the movie. im worried i got some of that wrong but i havent read it in its entirety in a long time so (SHRUGS) CANT BLAME ME OK LOL

ok but like the thing abt the Powers the children have is tht iirc its like passed down thru generations or smth ? im gonna act confidentsososo Basically the movie is abt a biker gang of 15/16yr old kids? 16/17? theyre our main characters. they have no parents but they have Cool Bikes. the main members that we Get To Know r kaneda (the leader), yamagata, kaisuke, and tetsuo! there r other members but fuck them i guess. so we follow them as one of the members (tetsuo!) comes into contact with one of the three little kids (i call them kids but theyre not) who tried to escape from the nursery all three of them are kept in. so tetsuo crashes his motorcycle into the guy and explodes and hes like HHHUYGGHHYYUUGG u kno. layin on th groundso now the Government Ppl who were comin to get the wrinkly buddy back in his nursery home see that tetsuo touched his Power n were like well fuck bring him in too lolso they TOOK TETSUO AAHH and kaneda’s like NO!!! and they do little brain tests on him and give him shots and pills and shit n they see, woah, would u look at that?, he has the potential to become as powerful as akira!!!!!!!! SO UH LETS FUCK HIM Up n try again w the whole capturing-god’s-power thing cause we’re selfish pigs Just don’t let him explode this time!!!!

so that’s uh the basic plot theres also kei she’s cool but is pretty useless in the movie so fuck her too i gue

but um! if u end up watching the movie and wanting to read the manga then here is me trying to convince u to: a shit ton more character development, a shit ton more kei i mean a SHITE ton, a shit ton more kaisuke, more kaori we love kaori, n characters tht didnt make it to the movie that are … So good

also the manga ends up taking place between like Two completely different and surreal aesthetics while the movie gives you.. just one . if you care

but ya thats me rambling about akira im sorry if it doesnt make sense!!!!! thank u for taking interest its a long movie But its very dear to me and its beautiful and funny and tragic and it’ll make u angry but also glad and its good????its a masterpiece so i hope u watch it lol

[its-kkotoko]

we both have something in common then lmao we both unfortunately love attention :D — i think I'll try maybe writing her whole backstory in my notes app soon maybe? And jsjs thank you so much for the last part and letting me ramble since seiko is one of my BIGGEST (and i have a ton of kins and comforts) comfort characters and kins so getting to flesh her out and ramble about her makes me sososos happy :D

Also to the one tag talking about her wiki YOUR SO RIGHT OHMYGOSH, they just kinda gave her absolutely no backstory despite her having THE CHANCE TO HAVE SUCH A GOOD ONE?? atp the team behind danganronpa make a interesting, cool and mystery character and they are given the chance to make their backstory complexe and good written BUT NO IT'S EITHER BADLY WRITTEN OR THEY'RE NOT EVEN GIVEN A BACKSTORY (ex : kirumi and obviously seiko)

//do you wanna just have an ooc thread regarding the tags btw <3 since it’s way easier to not have to go around the character limits with tags

— ooc [ @shiiingetsu / @yonananaga ]

ooc // sure :D and yeah it's more easy not to have them :3
