OOO LOVELY AS ALWAYS

i created the AU a good few years ago & even then only worked on it for maybe a week before abandoning it, gumball kirby & cotton kracko are the only designs i remember & i just have a note of Dreamland being based around candy, Patchland bakery goods, Ripplestar fruits, & just Halcandra looking like soup

& now that i'm thinking about it,, perhaps Nightmare could be made out of licorice, Heavy Mole gumdrops or some type of hard candy, Whispy Woods being made out of chocolate bark/gula gait bc Tree or just wafers, Mr Bright being those atomic fireball candies & Mr Shine... banana candy i guess

oh & on other kirby characters, Coily Rattler can be chocolate rocks, Blocky is just lokum, Mr Star obviously konpeito, & i don't think you'd have to change Void's design too much to say it'd be a jawbreaker lol

i tried making a kirby food-themed AU some years ago too & honestly u are executing this concept a whole lot better than i did. one thing i would like to share is Kracko being made out of cotton candy & his spikes are the cones. & also i'm just a bit curious as to how you'd design a few other characters like the poppy bros or bosses from kirby's adventure =-)

aaaaa I love the idea! I miiiight have to tweak this design because I'm not 100% satisfied with it.

regarding your food-themed au, I would love to hear more about it if you're still working on it!

(other bosses under the cut)

with poppy bro and paint roller I got an idea on what to do. kirby's gotta get his cherry bombs from somewhere sooo I did this whole thing backwards and based poppy bro off of kirby's bomb ability.

paint roller is inspired by a gingerbread house and his paint is icing. I think I like this idea so I might not change it.

with other kirby bosses...yeah idk what to do with them. I already got dedede and mk, and with whispy I was thinking he could have candied apples, but that's about as far as that idea goes, lol.

Bandana Dee: And here we see Dedede and Meta Knight in their natural habitat. Texting each other variations of the word "garlic bread" to try to make eachother laugh.

Dedede: Gaelic bread.

Meta Knight: Grueling brad.

Dedede: Ha ha, glamorous beans.

Been playing a lot of Kirby Super Star Ultra lately. It's a game very dear to me in a way I haven't really considered before until now.

I'm always on about how Mario and Zelda and Pokemon have really defined gaming on my childhood and made lots of memories, but replaying KSSU this last few weeks made me realize how much this game has made an impact on my memories

Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS is a remake of the original Kirby Super Star for the SNES. It came out in 2008, over 10 years after the original, and it's basically a perfect remake, in the way that it's better in every single possible way, improving in every aspect, AND adding multiple new stuff

There's about 11 game modes in total, including the first one being a full re-remake of the very first Kirby game ever made. So, if you so desire, could start with this as your first Kirby game experience. Beyond that there's many interesting and fun other stories to be told with many beloved characters of the Kirby series, such as King Dedede, Meta Knight, Marx, and even Bandana Dee

There's also unfortunately some bad stuff as well. Namely a little thing called The Great Cave Offensive, and basically all of the Mid Bosses. But ironically the Cave Offensive is what made me want to replay the game. So yeah, it will leave some impressions in my opinion and experience. Also there's the Helpers system, in which you can turn enemies into powers by absorbing them and then into your Allies that help you in battle and around the map

You unlock game modes by beating the previous ones, as you can see in the picture. They go up in difficulty as you progress. My personal favorite is Milky Way Wishes, for its cool story characters and gameplay. The music and visual graphics are honestly peak and some of the best on the Nintendo DS. The songs by Jun Ishikawa range from calm and ambient to upbeat and actiony. All of them memorable

It may not be the perfect videogame, but in my opinion it is the perfect Kirby game. And one that everyone should try out some time at least once

Hans Darius Drosselymeyer

And his granddaughter... Ribbon

So the "Nutcracker" & the Rat King are. one and the same... with Ribbon being the granddaughter of Clara & the Nutcracker.

Similar to the tale of the fairies of Ripple Star, very much looked down on the Daroach's species (and actually come from the same planet) ... Especially since they had the appearance of common mice. However, they were natural welders of magic and could naturally negate Dark magic.

And tensions were naturally high... after the war on Nightmare, people became wary of their species. This caused a young Drosselymeyer to seek work elsewhere, which led him to settle in Halcandara. Rising in the ranks, becoming lead engineer for Halcandra's Technology.

Becoming Queen Minerva Mims' (Magolor's great aunt) right-hand man. Eventually, he became great friends with Lady Celestine, Kit, & Sir Arthur... however, there was one person in their friend group who was the apple of his eye: Queen Velvet.

Queen Velvet was trapped in a political forced to marry King Argyle due to her family's military power during the war. And became the sixth wife of King Argyle (Argyle is basically like King Henry)... during Velvet's lowest moment, her wedding, she was befriended by the wedding officiant.

Celestine, who genuinely felt so bad for her predicament, basically invited her to the friend group. Meeting and Drosselymeyer... seeing her sorry state, he insisted to Minerva to reveal Halcandra's wedding gift to her (which he made, of course)... it was a tiny mechanical dove that cheered her up. And Drosselymer was enchanted by her smile. This led to numerous toys he would always make for her every time Velvet would visit Halcandara...! <3

I was very much inspired by the storyline of the Diabolical Box that's why this is their theme (Still working on Queen Velvet & Minerva...) So how did they all get separated?

During Minerva Mim's Revolt and eventual downfall... Sir Arthur & Kit took all the magic folk ( Celestine & Minerva's followers) and hid them away... (as many as they could), knowing all too well they'd be on the chopping block... (similar to how the King ordered the extermination of the rats in the Nutcracker story...)

Hiding them away in the enchanted astral belt, later known as the "Bermuda Triangle..." (created by Arthur & Drosseylmeyer) However, there was a catch: once you go in, no one goes out (all touch up on this later...). There's a certain time you can leave the astral belt, however, if you don't get the timing right, you could be locked out... Or not let back in. Well, that is if you could find the place again. (which itself could take centuries to find again...)

Bremman fell on this astral belt... (Kit's home planet), it was actually Arthur's intention to hide Kit and his clan. Believing he couldn't protect Kit as well with his fallout with Uther. However, Kit wouldn't let that happen, "Ya honestly think I'm gonna leave you with that brute running that circus not a chance!"

Also, Kit had built enough of a reputation to protect himself but was smart enough to stay off the field, now opting to become drill master. Drosselymeyer wanted to stay, too... however the same could not be said... He had worked far too closely with Celestine & Minerva to ever be trusted and surely they'd imprison him on the spot.

Not only that but even if he did manage to convince them otherwise, he'd still be at their mercy...

And so this forced Drosselymeyer to have to say goodbye to his remaining friends... and the love of his life. Queen Velvet gave him your pendant (the one he's wearing to remember her by) and disappeared along with the rest of the magic folk. Becoming their de facto leader...and this how magic pretty much left the galaxy!

~

But unbeknownst to both of them, she was Velvet was pregnant with their daughter. Originally, she believed it to be King Argyle's child... but soon, the baby appeared to have mouse ears... Knowing the dangers of what would happen to their daughter. Using the magic of the crystal shard, she had to use a magic ribbon to conceal her ears.

The one Ribbon wears now... however, this was not enough for Velvet... lucky for her, King Argyle was not long for this world. Fritz (who never liked King Argyle) took this as an opportunity to get his sister out there! However, before she left, she made sure that Ripple would inherit the throne and not have to take a husband to get it. (Ripple was the child of King Argyle's first wife, who he had divorced...)

Ripple didn't take to Queen Velvet leaving very well..., not knowing the true reason why she left. But that's a story for another day... Ripple's mother had died giving birth to her, (her dad died in the war), so she was mainly raised by her Grandma Velvet & Great Uncle Fritz... however, after they died, she ended up moving in with Queen Ripple, her aunt.

Despite Queen Ripple being kind... Ribbon lost only two people who knew of her secret. And for some reason, she could never truly trust her estranged aunt... despite how much Ripple trying to fill that mother role... something just felt off.

However, with her Grandfather, she felt an instant connection with him and was very quick to accept him. And Drosselmeyer was very taken by his granddaughter planning to make her all the toys.

And his Nephew Daroach~

So, back to Daroach's part in this... Daroach was born in the safety of Bremman. However, he had a great curiosity outside the astral belt. Drosselymeyer wouldn't allow it and warned him of the dangers outside, which was a constant fight between the two of them.

Despite living in safety in the back of his mind... he couldn't help but regret that he didn't fight to stay more. And the fact that Daroach kept reminding him of his guilt... And couldn't help but be upset...

So after the worst fight they ever had, Daroach stole Triple Star & his uncle's cane. Using them to sense when the astral belt would open, believing that he could time it perfectly and come right back before anyone would notice... WRONG!

Despite his flawless plan... the very act of stealing Triple Star & his uncle's cane made him unworthy of reentering the "Bermuda Triangle..." and it blasted him away, unable to return on time. It was during his stay that he realized how unwelcoming the outside world was to his kind...He turned to thievery to survive, but he made friends, and eventually, they formed the Squeak Squad.

However, he wasn't just thieving for fun... Daroach had figured out that they could use the Sacred items of the Ancients. Like Galaxia, Triple Star, the master crown, the grail, etc. To find Bremman again... pitching it to the Squeak Squad as some sort of "Promised land..." This is why the stole treasures in the hope they'd find these artifacts...

Unbeknownst that, they could have just asked Sir Arthur... who was one the creators of " the Bermuda Triangle..." (but hey, they didn't, know and nobody asked him, LMAO... moving on!) They eventually do find it... leading to Daroach's reunion with his dear uncle... who finally got to meet his granddaughter Ribbon...

Daroach & Ribbon are very close by the time they find out they're actually family. Which is why Drosselmeyer isn't as mad as he should be... of course, he gets brownie points on that front. But best believe he gave Daroach & the Squeak Squad an earful.

Reconciling with Daroach and also accepting the fault he had in their fight as well. Realizing how much he missed out on meeting his daughter... at the very least he got to meet his grand baby.

~

And that's Ribbon's fairy tale mix her mouse plays such a big role in her character. I hope the Nutcracker mix is too farfetched I thought I saw an opportunity to expand Ribbon's character...I can't go into detail with all the things because (spoilers), but I really did want to showcase Drosselyer's connection with Ribbon and show off what I was working with. And I just love her little mouse ear I just had to!

Originally, they did follow the roles of the Nutcracker tale... it felt like I was relying too much on the story itself. This gave me a chance to flesh Ribbon out more... giving Ribbon a chance to relate to Kirby and the gang more... feeling like an outsider in your own home.

However, this does come into question... what about Queen Ripple, you see, King Argyle's first wife abandoned and divorced him was none other than Queen Pirilpat (Ripple's mom)... so those who are familiar with the Nutcracker story know who exactly this character is... AND SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST!

I hope you guys enjoy this lore drop, have a great day & stay tuned!

Ok early post because it's another sketch (on the unfinished and will never be finished warp star)

[incorrect-star-allies]

Magolor: Oh, hey, I didn’t see you come in! You should have come by and said hello!

Meta Knight: Oh! Yeah, I uh...

Meta Knight: Didn’t want to bother you.

Meta Knight: Or talk to or listen to or be around you.
