Me with the Kirby franchise

3 months and 2 week, 8 frames per second again, 5 grams of nothing, that's the power of procrastinating on a animated gif redraw for way longer than the original which it shouldn't...but it did, cause I'm slower than your typical social media digital artist lmao

comparison with the new one in krita on the left and old one in flipnote on the right

just in case they get confused...

I have finally figured it out.

That "'found family' that is in no way a 'make-believe' nuclear family, that does NOT have pre-defined relationship roles doled out to the participants, just people from wildly different walks of life + attitudes bonding through a shared hellish experience who would be there for each other no matter how late the nightmares hit / that will help you bury the bodies without question no matter how cold it is outside"

...THAT is how I see all the Dream Friends being in Kirby.

Current Project Dream Progress

Here is the current progress to Project Dream! This post's images will be updated as more pieces are completed. If you would like to download the pieces as desktop wallpapers you can grab the older ones through this Imgur album link while the rest can be found in my Ko-Fi gallery. I will also post each new piece on here as well ^^ Oh and of course, be sure to check out the Youtube channel for the timelapse drawing behind each of these as well as additional lore in each respective video's description :)

Kirby Headcanon

Due to Magolor's robe being similar to Hyness' Zan PArtizanne was initially interested in him the same way as Hyness, at least until Magolor began being his snarky annoying self.

Now she finds him uniquely annoying, and will brandish her lance and threaten to do bodily harm when he annoys her for a little too long.

On Magolors end, he enjoys pushing her buttons.

You know, I wish they’d do some sort of update/DLC thing for Forgotten Land that adds one or more new cups to the Colosseum where the Dream Friends are your opponents. Maybe they’d also appear in town, visiting the new world for a variety of reasons

And they would actually have ✨DIALOGUE✨

(I highly doubt this will happen, but it would be cool)

I just want more boss battles involving Dream Friends, particularly the ones we haven’t really fought, like Gooey and Bandana Dee

The Dream Friends are thrust into a murder game! (Simulated. No one's actually dying. >.> )

Now...

...Who fulfills what tropes?!?

First to Die: either Marx or Dedede

Marx because he's a good fit for the "I don't believe this. This is stupid. There's no way this is real." :immediately killed off as an example of the mastermind's seriousness: character. (Or because killing "the funny clown guy" first achieves the same goal.)

Killing Dedede would be the hardcore version of this where you know no one is safe. That said, both of them have a strong claim to the title of Kirby's "rival" so whichever doesn't die is also a shoe-in for that character that is ALWAYS arguing with you in debates. The evidence is RIGHT THERE! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!?

- [Continued Below] -

Meta Knight is your support character who does all the complex mystery solving for you till they get removed toward the end of the game. Same with Magolor, except for the opposite side. Magolor is the one who is never completely trustworthy but still guides you to the logical answers with his trickery. These two almost assuredly die together-ish in the same late-game chapter, pitted against each other by the mastermind to isolate Kirby. On Magolor's side, he will probably be trying to make amends for messing up badly and causing someone to get killed accidentally earlier.

Bandee is an end-game survivor. You just know he is. Adeleine is either another survivor or dies in a middle chapter shock death because you had every reason to assume she was safe until she wasn't. May also be one of those characters who slowly breaks down and loses her spirit as things go on, being a completely different character at the end of the game. Especially if Ribbon dies at any point. (If Adeleine dies first and the killer didn't get Ribbon too, Ribbon will absolutely go ballistic on someone else later on.)

One of the two, Flamberge or Francisca, doesn't make it to the end. Tight knit pairs like these always get split up. Flam seems to need Fran more, so I'm going to assume it's Fran that gets the deep freeze (ohoho...) requiring Flam to both be held back from destroying the place in her rage and slowly learn to be on her own. Zan is a good fit for the rules lawyer character always trying to wrangle the group who is pushed into breaking her own code (probably for Hyness.)

Rick, Coo, and Kine are the quirky background chatter group who all (?) die in the same chapter when the stakes start getting really bad. Gooey survives till the end 100% because you need that one person who cannot follow the logic behind the mystery to save their life and has to have things explained to them but you still love them.

Elfilin is almost perfect for that innocent character that can do no wrong until you realize...oh no, they've been tricked into being responsible for a murder and there's nothing you can do to save them. Goes gracefully to their fate, wishing everyone the best...

Susie is one of those characters who isn't making it past chapter two. (Sorry, Susie! You're still great!) By process of elimination, Taranza probably gets to be the "last boy" sole survivor of Wave 3. But also for being smart enough to keep his head down when everyone else is being idiosyncratic. (Plus just actually having no murderous intent.)

Daroach voted most likely to seem like a reliable, funny friend for most of the game, only to be revealed as a wicked murderer later on only to THEN be revealed to have done the murder for the greater good of the rest of the party. Cue tears. (Aka, "the Gundham")

Dark Meta Knight is the biggest wild card. He could either be 1) the requisite asshole victim/patsy in someone else's scheme 2) the jerk killer without a sympathetic motive that makes you question if any of you are going to make it out of here alright 3) the one guy who is belligerent and nasty and unhelpful but won't just kill anyone and get it over with, only to step in at end to fill MK's empty shoes at a critical moment, saving the party 4) that guy who never really did anything good or bad and you cannot BELIEVE he made it to the end! Nooo! All my favorites died~! Why are you still here, you jerk~?! /affectionate

--TLDR--

[Survivors] Wave 0: Bandee Wave 1: Gooey Wave 2: DMK and/or Adeleine Wave 3: Taranza Wave 4+: Flamberge

[Potential Survivor] Dedede/Marx

[Murderers] Meta Knight, Daroach, Zan, Elfilin, Ribbon*

[Victims] The AF, Magolor, Susie, Francisca

*If Adeleine dies
