My favorite Kirby Game has a cool remake

[daydreaming-ace]

Another Magolor Headcanon Poll(tm), let's go!

This time, it's based off of headcanons that Magolor's mouth is Messed Up after his boss fight (either having an eyeball still in it, having the outside be slightly melted, etc etc)!

Clarification:

Normal - He sounds like he did before putting on the Master Crown/before the boss fight.

A Little Off - He somewhat sounds like Before, but there's a bit of distortion/Eldritch Nonsense.

Very Off - There's a lot of distortion/Eldritch Nonsense, but those who didn't know him Before wouldn't know his speech is Off.

Distorted - It's obvious that he Fucked Around and promptly Found Out with something he shouldn't have been messing with.

Side Note: I made a poll specifically about the eyeball-mouth headcanon (here). It was about how he eats.

the kirby series is the literal funniest shit on the planet because these excerpts from the wiki are all 100% real trivia regarding inspiration behind actual events that happen in a game about a pink ball who lives on planet popstar where the fate of the universe is up for debate on a literal weekly basis, but more specifically this trivia is about what happens when a sentient egg cat thing goes to hell but only temporarily.

"Grasping At Ghosts"

Dess here to tell you that these three make up the very core of my being. Also, time for my bi-monthly reminder that Kirby did not beat Marx into submission, Marx's very crown-like wings went haywire after taking enough of a beating (just like the Master Crown) and it was that which sent him crashing into Galactic Nova to his doom.

Parallels, parallels...

I suppose the really frightening thing is that, unlike with Magolor and the Master Crown, Marx still possesses (possessed by) the wings to this day, meaning if they really are akin to the Crown, he's still under its(?) sway. Given the fact that his eyes bug out if you leave him standing in Star Allies long enough... and yeah...

Bad Dream. (True Arena spoilers ahead!!!)

Made this to cope with how depressing that last boss is.

~ Magolor’s Lullaby~

I took the liberty to do a small comic about Magolor from the new: Return To Dreamland Deluxe that just came out with a cameo of the wondrous Dream Guardian who came to soothe the troubled mage through his unbalanced broken mind after having threaten the universe by his hand.

Despite his actions, the Guardian soothes Magolor with a gently lullaby in hopes to ease him— to heal his psyche so that he may regain the energy to fight his way through the unknown in order to find a way back. And return to Dreamland.

Translation:

Oh dear traveler…

Magolor ~

Let the pain in your soul pass…

Along with the sweet waves of colors

Embrace the tender arms

Of the galaxies that surround you

You may have failed

You may have been beaten

But let not the light burn you

But let not the light burn you

Rest now for the stars call for you

Within the blankets of the universe

Rest now for the stars call for you

Within the blankets of the universe

O Nova~

O Nova~

Since I've seen the idea that Magolor still has the eyeball in his mouth, and can't use his mouth as a result, here's my question...

Note: I messed up on the original poll, so that's why there's two of them. My bad.

HELLO??

[atomik-art]

It's time for that once-in-a-blue-moon stroke of massive brainrot inspiration that causes me to do a whole composition out of nowhere. I got stuck on this piece for like a month purely because I didn't know what to do about the coloring and highlighting, but I got a recent burst of motivation and finally finished it! I do not anticipate making anything this big and crazy for a loooong while, so I'll be enjoying my artist rest now LOL.

Also, wow!!! That RTDL DX Magolor Epilogue!!! It's probably my new favorite extra mode in the series. I loved the upgrade system, combo system, and the feel of the combat while playing it. Also all the Magolor dialogue!! He's such a sopping wet menace gRAHH and that finale had my attention in a vice grip like WOAHH. I already loved him a lot before, but RTDL DX made me love him even more somehow <3.

Sketches and wip shots are under the cut.

Here's a really disturbing thought for everyone!

I've seen it speculated around the JP fandom that the True Arena Magolor Soul fight exists to be a sort of semi-canonical "bad end" AU for Magolor. That it shows us what would happen if the crown's possession had gone too far. If Magolor had been fully devoured by it. If he were truly beyond rescue by any means.

Oh, and what makes it worse?

This is the one fight where Magolor specifically asks Kirby to break the crown on his head and free him. He audibly cries out Kirby’s name during the fight, including murmuring a noise that sounds very much like “...tasukete...” in JP aka “...help...me...” And yet?

You Don't Succeed. 

The crown remains bonded to this Magolor even when he's defeated.

True Arena Magolor asks only to be freed and Kirby fails to free him.

The one version of Magolor you canonically cannot save is the only version who breaks down and pleads for your help over the course of the fight... Even the first pause screen asks you to free him from this nightmare. To save him and become true friends...

But you’re unable to...

Also, I hadn't realized this until Cauli-flawa pointed it out, but the crown’s gem blinks red and blue. Of course, the temptation to compare those colors to a certain jester is there - and I'll do that later, fufufu - but another, perhaps simpler interpretation is that the blue flashes are moments when our Magolor is fighting back from within the cage the crown made of his body. He's trying, struggling, doing everything possible... he even manages to play the role of "Helper Magolor" one last time by giving you that apple... 

But the moment his eyes shut... It’s too late.  He's forever out of your reach...

True Arena Magolor Soul is depicting Magolor's death...

Welp, time to cry myself to sleep...

Atonement.

NOT over Epilogue's ending.
