Hi how are you doing could I request a DBZ x toddler Kirby reader please , maybe the reader comes from space and is a know species of alien, they got on a spaceship by mistake and crash in front of bulmas house, how would the z warriors react to a adorable blob pink alien with a vacuum for huge appetite?

-Bulma didn’t know what to make of you, when you crash landed in her backyard, alerting not only her but the Z-Fighters as well, of a possible unknown threat, as the past few aliens that crashed down to earth haven’t been friendly, at least at first.

-Your ship was small, telling them whatever was inside was small and when the hatch opened and you rolled out, your eyes like swirls as you were dizzy, everyone froze, seeing how tiny, round, and pink you were!

-Bulma thought you were adorable, poking your cheek once you were more coherent and you called up happily in greeting, “Poyo!” and instantly everyone relaxed, seeing that you weren’t a threat.

-Vegeta was a bit grumpy, as he was hoping for someone strong to fight against that wasn’t Goku, while Goku and Gohan were poking your round body with Bulma, making you giggle as they all thought you were cute!

-Goku, somehow, figured out that your name was Y/N, and nobody could bring themselves to question it, as they were worried they wouldn’t be able to understand it.

-After bringing your ship, which was now completely toast, inside, Bulma ordered food for everyone and Goku and Gohan cheered- you weren’t sure why they were cheering but you cheered too, which made Bulma collapse, thinking you were so adorable.

-To the shock of everyone, you were a very big eater, being able to inhale a whole plate of fried chicken, bones and all, with a powerful inhalation ability.

-Most, Goku, Bulma, Gohan, and Vegeta, were able to brush it off pretty easily, as they were all used to being big eaters or being around big eaters, while Krillin, Yamcha, Master Roshi, Chichi, and Tien were all thrown off by it.

-After the meal Vegeta wanted to work it off with a battle and you watched in amazement when both Goku and Vegeta went Super Saiyan, their hair turning golden and spiky and you cheered out, “Poyo!” before you opened your mouth, sucking in and everyone panicked as you inhaled Goku, swallowing him whole.

-What looked exactly like Goku’s hair appeared on your head before you cried out like you were screaming, powering up as energy surrounded you and everyone froze as you went Super Saiyan, as you wanted to do it too.

-After jumping around and playing with Vegeta, who found you difficult as you were small and quite agile, you spat Goku back out, who was completely fine but confused, “What just happened?” they all pointed at you as you called out happily again.

-It seems like the Z-Fighters gained another oddball in their ranks.

In honor of Paper Mario TTYD’s release on Switch, there’s someone I want to introduce to you all..

Meet Paperlor!

I’ve had this guy around for about a month or so now, and I figured now was the perfect time to introduce him to you all!

A bit more info/lore under the cut.

For starters, I’ll be officially calling this AU “Magolor and The Thousand Year Door,” MaTTYD for short. Posts with Paperlor will be tagged as such!

Simply put, this is an AU where Magolor goes through the story of Paper Mario TTYD for his epilogue instead of the actual Magolor Epilogue. Think like @cherry-blossom-qf’s Undertale and Skylanders AUs.

After being defeated by Kirby, Magolor wakes up floating atop a vast ocean. Too weak to move, he lets the waves carry him away, to what he assumes will be his eventual demise. Soon, he washes up on the pier of Rogueport, where the sailors bring him ashore and help him recover. It’s here that he realizes he’s been given something: a mysterious map. Where does it lead to, and how did he get it? He doesn’t have much time to question it, as he runs into Goombella being cornered by Lord Crump and his minions shortly after he’s well enough to leave..

Through the AU, Magolor gradually regains his powers as he searches for the Crystal Stars with his newfound friends. The upgraded abilities work slightly differently; the chests with these ability upgrades come in the form of Fruit Fragments, which not only upgrade either his jump or hammer ability, but also restore his magic powers as they do in the original Magolor Epilogue. In this AU, Magolor’s flight ability is stunted as a result of the Master Crown, so he relies on his jump abilities to reach high places.

There’s still a lot more I have in mind + things I’m working out as I go along, so be sure to keep an eye out!

In the meantime, feel free to leave any questions you have about him in my ask box! I’ll be happy to answer them! ❤️❤️

🕷️Catch You On The Web!!🕸️

An Itafushi spiderman socmed au ❤️

In which Yuuji Itadori, newly a sophomore in college who still has not a clue what he wants to do with his life, gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains new abilities, stats and powers. He's coasting on his raw athletic ability, a full-ride scholarship handed to him despite his less-than-perfect grades, when he realizes he's got way more ahead of him than he'd ever imagined. Including, but not limited to, a newfound crush that also throws him for a loop.

Prologue | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 (coming soon!)

notes:

teehee megumi crisis moment // tw: i think i put kms jokes in this part? i cant quite remember but i usually toss those in with megumi so just a warning 🫶🏻

edit: forgot to add that loml and kirbys gay friend are nobara pov, while the rest are all megumi pov 🙂‍↕️ should be obvious enough who were talking to though! :3

Megumi sat down on his lofted dorm mattress, out of breath, with slightly reddened cheeks and eyes wide. What the hell was that???

He posted his vague tweet and instantly flopped back onto his bed, still wearing his jacket with his shoulder bag still tucked around his body. He laid there for a while simply staring at his ceiling, catching his breath and replaying that moment over and over and over in his head.

Again… What the hell was that?????

He certainly got what he’d gone for, getting to witness exactly what the beefed-up jock meant when he said “superhuman abilities”. But, even though he had expected to see Yuuji there after Yuta let him know he was on the team, he truly hadn’t expected the interaction he’d gotten. 

Still, he finds the only thought repeating itself in his head to be, “what the HELL was that?”

The question repeats itself as a way to ask literally, what the hell did he just witness? But also, it functioned as a way for him to ask himself what happened to him. Why did he freeze up so badly? Did he make himself look like a fool because of that? He couldn’t stop staring at Yuuji, but somehow, he couldn’t even muster up a response.

Not even a thank you. 

Shit. Now he would have to seek the other boy out again just to thank him. Or, maybe just this once, he could hold up that facade that he was a heartless asshole who didn’t care about anyone or anything. Especially the guy he’d just met days ago and immediately found attractive despite the lack of a brain in his head.

Oh, yeah. He just thought those words. He found him attractive. 

This was something he could never share with the rest of the world. Under any circumstances.

After another 10 minutes of staring at his ceiling, replaying the scene over and over and over and OVER, still wearing his jacket and bag, he realized that he would never be able to keep this a secret, who was he kidding? Also, he would definitely be seeking Yuuji out on purpose again. Whether to Yuuji’s knowledge or not, he didn’t care.

Did that make him weird? Or a creep? It didn’t matter. 

His phone buzzed in his hand.

He had been laying here for a little over a half hour doing this. God damn he was pathetic.

Why did he have to find the way-out-of-his-league, no-brained-idiot jock attractive? He was doomed.

His phone buzzed in his hand once more, so he picked it up to see replies coming through on his stupid tweet. He huffed out a loud sigh, before hoisting himself up off of his bed, finally removing his bag and jacket, and then responding to them.

Nobara had expertly tracked down Yuta through the internet (read: found him through Yuuji’s private account on twitter) and got his number so she could conspire with him over Yuuji’s own love life.

She had little to no knowledge on this “pizza guy” who wasn’t even the pizza guy, and had never met Yuta before, although she’d heard plenty about him through Maki. From what she could tell though, he seemed like a fine dude.

After the brief introduction she offered to him, Nobara and Yuta began sharing their own stories on the perspectives they had to offer for each boy in question through a facetime call. Nobara needed to know more about this “Megumi”, how he truly fit into all this, and especially if he was even worthy enough to consider as a possible partner for her best friend. And Yuta was simply here to offer that information up to her.

He started from the beginning of this school year, telling Nobara everything he could offer up that might overlap for her. Anything that had to do with Yuuji, from the fact that he lives in the room above Yuta himself and his boyfriend Toge, all the way down to the last time he spoke to him, filling in all of the blanks that had to do with Megumi, as well.

The pieces were already falling into place for Nobara. She was seeing how they were all somehow connected to one another without even knowing or realizing it. 

After Yuta had wrapped up his storytime, Nobara shared hers, which as she had expected, was minimal in comparison to what Yuta offered for her (especially considering she needed some extra intel on who Megumi even was, whereas Yuta at least knew Yuuji pretty well). 

Where Yuta explained the progression of events with Yuuji acting odd, not being able to sleep and all of that, Nobara was able to offer insight on those things. She also was able to connect things Yuuji had told her about with things that Yuta knew of Megumi and what he’d been up to.

And then came that tweet from Megumi, not even an hour before Yuta and Nobara had their girl talk session. 

“So, obviously since you don’t know Megumi, you wouldn’t know about this, but…” Yuta trailed off as he ran to grab a screenshot of Megumi’s recent tweet to send to Nobara. “Look at what he tweeted a little while ago,” he said, the sound of a shit eating smirk evident in his voice.

“Oooooohhhh, interesting, okay,” Nobara hummed out, pursing her lips, her face showing her deep, deep thought process. “And this is after he supposedly went to a practice for the football team?”

“Yeah, and like, he said he only wanted to go because he’d heard some other dude from the team talking up this other guy who apparently had superhuman strength or some shit,” Yuta said, not realizing exactly who the “guy with superhuman strength” was. 

But luckily, Nobara was a professional at gossip. So she caught on incredibly fast. 

“Oh! So he was going to specifically check out Yuuji, got it,” she laughed, saying it sarcastically and assuming they were both on the same page. Well, they certainly were now. 

“WAIT-” Yuta yelled. “NO WAY.” 

Nobara looked back at him through her phone screen with raised eyebrows.

“OH MY GOD, YOU’RE RIGHT! HE WANTED TO GO TO WATCH YUUJI! TOGE!” Yuta looked off to the side of his phone screen where Nobara couldn’t see, or hear, Toge. Soon she was watching Yuta communicate with his mute boyfriend, signing out of habit even though it wasn’t necessary as he yelled about Yuuji being the reason that Megumi wanted to go watch the football practice.

He finally came back to the phone screen, a huge grin plastered on his face. “I can’t believe I didn’t catch on to that before, but I guess I didn’t really have all the details on Yuuji’s weird increase in strength,” Yuta said to Nobara. “But, do you think he even knew it was Yuuji? I mean, I hardly knew anything about Yuuji’s strength and shit, Megumi definitely wouldn’t. They only met for the first time a few days ago, and clearly Megumi was as disinterested in Yuuji as he is with anyone else. If not moreso. He also told me he didn’t even know Yuuji was on the team, I suppose…” He trailed off at the end, realizing that Megumi definitely didn’t know it was Yuuji prior to going.

Nobara thought for a moment. “Yeah, I guess you have a point. He probably didn’t know it was all Yuuji they were talking about, but if he didn’t know then, judging on that tweet, he definitely knows now,” she stressed the word ‘definitely’, laughing as she finished her thought. She was right on the money with that one.

After the two talked for nearly two hours, they finally ended the call with Nobara needing to get started on her hour-long-before-bed-self-care routine, promising Yuta an exciting update by the end of the night.

“What are you gonna do??” Yuta asked, morbidly curious of what this devious girl he just met was capable of.

“I’m requesting assistance from the queen, of course,” she wiggled her eyebrows, before bidding him goodnight, and telling him to extend that to Toge as well. 

As soon as that call ended, she flew to text her girlfriend, roping her into this wildly massive scheme she was planning.

[kirbybecomesastarwarrior]

Lady Celestine... do you know about the Arthurs from the other AUs does it bother you?

Sir Arthur: It's good that you bequeathed the name "Wart" to me long ago... Now I can be told apart from all the other Arthurs~

Lady Celestine: It's the gift that keeps on giving Wart~

(Celty getting all the forehead kissies)

@kirbyoctournament

The whole "Wart" & "Merlyn" nickname started out as a gag/reference (when I was originally writing their relationship ). Then this whole name scheme became layered like a dang lasagna... it became emotionally meaningful.

My Wart: You can be & and deserve to be loved "warts and all"

My Merlyn: You're amazing & incredible, just the way you are.

I'm bringing the feel train up next week be prepared~

~

And anon thank you for the question~ Though admittingly I wasn't sure if you were referring to the evil Sir Arthurs out there (sounded like it)... or that there are other versions of Sir Arthur in general. (So I did an all-encompassing answer, hope that's enough~)

~

And I'm not gonna lie... I love me some corrupt evil / morally grey Sir Arthur shout out to @galapathy, @zombiecicada, @thewinterraven

Great fantastic with their Sir Arthurs be zesty, & spicy in all the right ways! (STICK IT TO THE GREEN MAN~) And guys let me know if there are any others, I'd like to know more please~

Shout out to some other incredible & fleshed out takes on Sir Arthur:

@quanblovk, @doggirling, @deafeninggardenerpanda

For those who don't know in the original draft, Srir Arthur was supposed to be the villain in the series. (or the surprise villain so to speak~) However, once the rewrite happened and created Sir Uther in the au...all his evil went into him. But I wanted to "have my cake and eat it too..." so Sir Arthur (or Young Arthur) is a redeemed baddie~

And now "he's a certified good bean"

I took this one character from the Kirby anime who only had less than 5 minutes of screen time and gave him a convolutedly long and heartbreaking backstory just for the sake of bridging the "Kirby game verse" & " Kirby anime verse together" and to prequel all the events of the anime:

JUST FOR THE SAKE OF WORLD-BUILDING & EMOTIONAL STORYTELLING TO MAKE THE PEOPLE FEEL!

I'm not saying the power of love "fixed" him or anything; Arthur was always good at heart but his talents were being used by a truly rotten man who was snuffing the light out of him for his own selfish and nefarious purposes... lost his way~ (nearly became a mini Uther~)

Celestine didn't just save Arthur; Arthur saved Celestine as well~

(also this is why it took me so long Lady Celestine up until this point because writing romance is tough, and I wanted to create a truly wholesome & balanced relationship between the two of them. )

I'm really going to be getting into the meat & potatoes of their relationship. And hopefully, by the end, you will all fully understand why they love each other... I've been saving a lot of Celarthur content that's laid dormant in my deck.

Now that week 3 of the Kirby OC Tournament is on the horizon... I believe the time has come to pull out all the Aces in my hand and get you all emotionally invested... I hope you are all willing to ride this wave with me~

And cry a bucket of tears with me, look forward to it!

[desultory-novice]

Magalor gets the crown but neither turns on the main cast or gets controlled instantly and just kinda leaves.

(Bonus points if he gradually gets controlled, taking such a long time (like a couple months - a couple years) that people can see it happening but just can't stop it and have to watch it happen no I'm not copying adventure time)

Since you said Magolor left Kirby and the others alone, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with a Marx and Marxolor-heavy version of this prompt! (I sure hope you're one of my readers who either likes or doesn't mind some shipping between them, Anon! >w< )

I originally wrote this as a script to maybe comic-ify before I realized it was way too long and quickly transformed it into a prose piece!

"False King's Lament" Pairing: Marxolor Genre: Angst Words: 1,000 Warnings: Uh...they kiss briefly...?

[Read More]

A breezy question, spoken almost out of boredom, echoed with unexpected weight throughout the room. 

"How long you gonna keep wearing that?"

The wizard king turned in the direction of the voice: it came from his court jester, who spoke to him upside down, being in the middle of a series of complex acrobatic exercises. 

The jester was the only member of his court. For theirs was a kingdom of two.

"...Wearing what?"

"The big glittery crown on your head, your majesty."

They tried to invite others to join in their kingdom of laughter and good times. Most refused with looks of disgust or terror. Some took up weapons. Some simply ran. Of course, together the two of them had the ability to force anyone they wanted to stay, but after a time, the wizard king would sigh and say their screams weren't the ones he was looking for and let them go–to the jester's disappointment.

"The Master Crown is an object of unlimited power." 

The golden diadem in question, sculpted to resemble some kind of airborne creature, like a bird or a bat or perhaps a dragon sat atop the wizard king's head. The jewel in the center, a light opalescent color that every so often looked blood red in the light, sparkled on its own, as if it somehow knew it was being spoken about. 

"Why would I ever stop wearing it?"

The jester hopped forward, deft in his comically oversized shoes.

"Uh, cause it looks dumb on you?"

The veil of majesty on the wizard king's face fell away, one gloved hand massaging away the annoyance he felt in his brow from betwixt the crown's enormous claws.

There was no more dignity there as he dropped the royal charade to sigh at his longtime friend and lifelong partner in mischief.

"Ma~rx..." Irritation rose in the last notes of that name.

The jester, unfurling his wiry wings, crossed the distance between himself and his king with a single glittering flap.

"Seriously, Magolor. You haven't taken that thing off since you came back with it. I know you like looking all important, but come on!"

Magolor noticed Marx's ever delighted smile had left his face. His own countenance was a frown.

"Once more, I have to question you why I should?"

"...Can you?" This question was softer in pitch than that which initiated this conversation. Heavier in tone.

"What was that?" Magolor feigned a fool's ignorance. It was true that his hearing was not what it had been in years past. But to say he hadn't heard the jester's question would be the kind of lie that distinguished his life before his coronation.

"Can you take it off?" 

Firmer now. Marx no longer concealed his concern.

"....Why is that a question?" Golden eyes looked around the throne room for anything else to concentrate on. (Though had it not, at one time, been built for a purpose other than ruling? Had this empty castle in his image not been made to host more than just them?)

Marx wrapped his hands–though it was only Magolor who thought of the large, monstrous claws that way–close around the two ends of his jester's cap like they were cuffs, miming his king's horns.

"It's hugging your head pre~tty tight." His violet eyes glimmered as he stuck his tongue out of a crescent smile. "Even tighter than I do!"

Magolor laughed, suddenly at ease again. "Is that it? You're jealous over a piece of headgear?" 

He lifted the small jester in his large hands; up to the brim of his scarf for a secret kiss. But as the two pulled away, Magolor saw that the mirth in Marx's expression had been only temporary. A trap to encourage Magolor to let down his guard.

"I'm being serious for once."

Magolor absentmindedly bounced the jester from hand to hand as a distraction, Marx nimbly skipping and twirling along the stairs of the other's fingers in their little lover's game.

"Whatever you're worried about, don't be. I've spent years researching the Master Crown and its power."

The last two words came out with crushing force. "...I'm fine."

"Great!" Marx stopped, smiled, and hooked one hand on a white gloved finger, orbiting it like a trapeze artist to fling himself up on top of Magolor's head. "Then you'll be fine without it too!"

"...Marx, just let it go." Magolor wanted to crane back to pull him off but knew that he would not be able to turn his head to his satisfaction. He instead swatted uselessly at the air behind him.

"No, I won't." A once soft voice hissed with anger and determination. "Not until I get this creepy thing off your head, Mags."

Magolor's blind grasps grew quicker and more panicked. Marx stretched his wings to their full span and slipped the tips of his bony claws under the thick golden ones that wrapped crushingly close around the head and horns of his lover. 

The fake royal finally let the old weakness and helplessness of his former life slip through the cracks in his voice as he began to shout, "Don't! Don't tou-...!" Then, Marx began to pry at it.

"...Ngh!" Magolor groaned, feeling his head simultaneously forced up and pressed down by Marx's determined efforts to de-crown him. It was uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Yet. Still, he cried Marx's name through tight lips, pleading with him to stop before...

His howl of excruciating pain echoed through the room, bounding across every wall like a wounded animal desperate to escape as Magolor violently arched back, flinging Marx off of him like a missile.

"Ugh...!" Marx rolled several times before coming to a stop against the wall. He shook his head to clear the dizziness. "Mags, what the..."

He looked up at his injured king, whose hands were tightly clutching the crown that now appeared to be wriggling atop Magolor's head like it were alive. Magolor shook and shuddered, whimpering at the angry, punitive thrumming of the crown-creature that wore him.

Marx noticed that, in the struggle, Magolor's neck wrap had fallen. His round eyes widened, irises like dots, at what he saw.

"M-Mags...?"

The jester traced the path of the crown-creature's claws with those eyes. Unlike the ones clutching his brow and hugging his horns, these trailed down a ways before they disappeared entirely into Magolor's back, where body and gold fused together.

"Are you...satisfied...now that...you know?" A glint of a golden eye found him, wavering as the light illuminated a stillborn tear.

Marx flew around immediately to face him, kneading his claws gently into Magolor's curled fingers until they unfolded once more for him to hop up into. "How long has it been like this, Mags...?"

"I don't remember... Right after I put it on? Months later?"

Anger boiled over in Marx to the degree that he no longer knew where to direct it. "How do you not remember when this thing suddenly began crawling over your head and growing into your back?! How did you study it for years and not realize it wasn't a stupid crown at all but some sort of...messed up monster?! Do you even HAVE limitless power?! Then use it and get rid of it! Blow it up or take it off or whatever you have to do! You CAN do that, right?" 

The lying wizard ducked his head in shame; he did not want to lie.

"...What's it doing to you Mags...? What's it going to do?"

The jester, who in a moment had forgotten forever how to laugh, looked at his liege, his fellow trickster, and his love as the other opened lips split in a most unnatural way. "...I don't know..."

0018: Strange Tales #126

Cover Date: November 1964 On-Sale Date: August 11, 1964

It all changes here! In celebration, Doc reclaims some cover real estate and the blurb even depicts a scene from the story. What changes? Doc meets Dormammu! Up until this moment, Dormammu has simply been one of the funky names Doc calls on to put the whammy on his foes. Also, until now, most of his foes haven't been all that impressive on power level with Nightmare and Loki being the possible exceptions. And Doc doesn't call on either to power up. Dormammu is on whole other level.

Our story continues immediately after Doc's battle with Baron Mordo last issue. We see his astral body returning to his physical body. Now, Mordo's body should be in the house as well, but that never gets addressed. He must have gotten out somehow; we definitely haven't seen the last of him. No sooner than getting up from his comfy, funky chair (sadly, not the one with the dragon head), he's in the grip of a powerful spell, without his consent, that manifests itself as a floppy white and yellow bullseye. There's a nice touch from Ditko. Doc goes in the top of the bullseye and at the spell's terminus, The Ancient One's pad, he comes out the bottom. It even has a funky curl, like it's squeezing him out.

The Ancient One is dressed today in a fine frock. The original coloring is red, but the Masterworks recoloring makes it a vivid fuchsia. Once again I prefer the recoloring. Today's crown has less ostentatious horns that the last story but the detail is more intricate. The Ancient One makes a ghost thing visible to Doc just as it leaves. Doc prepares himself to jump to the old guy's defense, but he's like "Don't worry about it, he's just a messenger of the Dread Dormammu. Oh, by the way, Dormammu is gonna invade our dimension and take over. I just got back from being Mordo's captive and haven't had my old man nap yet. Can you deal with this?"

"Sure thing, daddio! Send me!" And Doc disappears into some whirling and hairy dots. Perhaps this is Ditko's answer to Kirby Crackle. The next thing Doc knows he's somewhere else, floating through a ring of smoke and heading toward a nasty beastie indeed. The smoke ring is a nice call back to the splash page!

The as-yet-unnamed nasty beasty is the G'uranthic Guardian who will show up here and again. I don't know if this is actually a living being or some magical construct that guard's Dormammu's "palace." Doc approaches the nasty beastie who looks down on him and shoots out some light that probes his brain, without his consent. It's a test of some kind that Doc passes and the cool six-sided doors open for him. He steps through, and we get get our first look at how bat-crap crazy Ditko makes this very brightly lit "dark" dimension.

That's right, the other side of this door is floating in nothing and Doc is walking along a floating ribbon all curled up. Nightmare's realm was weird, but this is drug-trippy crazy! What was Ditko on? This imagery continues throughout the story, so get yourself a copy if you want to see it all.

Next, we get our first glimpse of Dormammu. He doesn't quite look like his popular image yet. For one, he's wearing a two-tone green thing with funky shoulder accoutrements and not the purple we're used to seeing him in. His head isn't surrounded by flames, but smoke and his head is blue, instead of red. He only has a hint of eyes. He's also sitting in a funky throne. We will later learn this is the Azure Throne and it is almost never depicted as blue.

Dormammu is like "WTF? Who the hell is this? Where's The Ancient One?" One of the sychophants surrounding Dormammu isn't toadying up enough and dares to question Dormammu's ability to instantly wipe out the mortal and he instantly imprisons them until he doesn't feel like it anymore.

Meanwhile, Doc is facing a series of challenges as he moves toward the big bad. His first challenge is a little yellow creature who feeds on spells. Doc figures this out quickly and feeds him until he pops like a balloon. This is being watched by a certain silver-haired lady. Yes! We are finally introduced to the as-yet-unnamed Clea. At first he thinks this is The Ancient One returning, but realizes it can't be "for he is young -- and fair to behold!" While Clea's libido gets fired up, Doc is drawn into some object that looks like a flying magic carpet. "Oh well," thinks Clea, "better luck next time."

Doc defeats a bunch more of Dormammu's minion who appear before him. Dormie's not happy. He banishes them to limbo.

Dormammu is like "Enough of this! If you need something done, you just gotta do it yourself. Bring it on, earther!" Clea senses things are coming to a head and decides to shout about it.

The entrance Dormie conjures for Doc is just bizarre. It's like a big sheet of paper with a mini, desaturated bifrost coming out of it. Clea attempts to warn him off, but Doc proceeds to the ominous assignation. Doc finally confronts Dormie at last! "I won't kill you until the Ancient One shows up." Doc replies "Nah! You gotta deal with me." "No really, send in the Ancient One." "Nope. It's gonna be me." "You're funeral, blue dude!"

And we break here until next month. Last month was great, but this is just freaking crazy! Ditko is in top form here. Who knows how many pencils were ground to little nubs to draw these 10 pages? Visually, it's spectacular. Ditko had spent a number of stories with lazy backgrounds, but he must have been saving it up for this story. Dormammu's motivation for invading earth isn't exactly original, but it starts a great story. There isn't really anything in the way of plot holes. It doesn't mess with continuity. And it's the springboard of a new era where the villains are more powerful and the stakes are greater. I can't wait for part two!

[krikeymate]

Till it's all over, I will know you

Jill Roberts knows the Carpenters. Everybody does. And she's met the girls more than a few times over the years, although rarely interacted with them. Kirby's parents used to babysit them after all, and Jill always preferred to be at Kirby's than at home where her mother would go on and on about her cousin, she-who-must-not-be-named. Eugh.

So, Jill knows Sam Carpenter, the devoted sister (and recent troublemaker), and she knows Tara Carpenter, the sweetest most adorable little girl in the world - thank you Kirby. (For the listeners at home, Jill Roberts is rolling her eyes). But she doesn't know them, and she had no intention of knowing them. But life doesn't really care for what you have planned sometimes.

Jill has a bad day, so she does what she always does when she has a bad day, she goes round to Kirby's. Only to find Kirby's not alone. Kirby's out back smoking with her pet project.

After a failed attempt to get Kirby to heel, Jill stomps back inside and throws herself onto the couch. It's not until afterwards that she realises the little sister is here too, curled up at the edge and looking morose, a discarded book beside her.

"Oh great, you're here too," Jill mutters sourly.

The girl lets out a quiet sorry. She doesn't move, arms wrapped around her legs and chin resting upon her knees, eyes staring at the blank television screen.

Now that she knows the girl is here, Jill finds herself feeling awkward. She doesn't know how to act around kids, and quite frankly she's not really in the mood, but she knows she's got to be nice to the girl or she'll never hear the end of it. Jill knows how to play nice; she's been doing it her whole life.

"Sooooo.... guess we've both been abandoned, huh?"

Silence is her only response.

Seriously? Jill's trying her best and the girl doesn't even have the decency to respond.

"Jeez kid, what's up with you."

Jill’s mostly uninterested, but she is bored and they're stuck here together for the foreseeable future – until their other halves remember they exist – so she nudges her with her elbow. Eventually the girl mumbles nothing under her breath.

The tone piques her interest. It's bitter. Angry. Familiar.

What’s this kid got to be furious at the world about? At least Jill has real reasons. I mean, so her dad walked out, big whoop. Do you see Jill with a father? No, he disappears back in ’96 after mom refuses to skip town ‘cause of all the murders. At least she got those years with hers. Mom’s a drunk? Join the club kid!

She huffs and spins the hefty yellow and black book between them around. So you want to be an actor?

Huh. Not really what she’d been expecting. Well, she’s not sure what she was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t that.

“This for school or something?” Jill questions before she can think twice. She picks up the book and flips through the pages.

It gets Tara’s attention. “No,” she murmurs quietly.

Jill watches her, brow twitching. She doesn’t remember the kid ever being so shy and subdued.

“You… want to be an actress then?”

Tara nods, and all Jill can think about is how ridiculous it sounds. But more importantly, it gives her something to talk about.

“I want to be an actress too.”

The kid’s eyes light up in an instant, arms leaning forward and body unwrapping itself. She finally comes to life.

Jill doesn’t care about the girl, but the way she triggered the change certainly stirs something within her. There’s that sense of power, of control, of knowing with just a few words you can change someone’s world. For the better, or for the worse.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. I’m going to be big and famous, a movie star. I want everyone to know my name.”

She doesn’t know why she’s telling her this. There’s only one other person in the world who knows about Jill’s dream.

“That’s cool,” the girl says, sending her a small smile. “I bet you could do it! You’re super pretty and awesome and you look like a movie star!”

Jill smirks, brushing her hair behind her ear, pleased. “Thank you.”

“I just want to look after Sam… and my mom,” Tara says, smile fading. “Actors make a lot of money, right?”

Jill hums, filing the information away. “They can, if they’re good. I certainly intend to. I going to do better than my cousin in every way. Be more successful, more famous… more loved.”

"Who's your cousin?" Tara asks innocently, unaware of the minefield she's just stepped herself in.

Jill finds herself clenching her jaw. "Seriously? You don't know? Everybody knows," she scoffs. God she hates people.

But the girl just shakes her head, looking up at her, waiting.

Shit, she really doesn't know?

Jill ponders for a moment. She could just brush it off, say nobody important, but something inside her is curious. How could someone live in Woodsboro and not know about Jill's famous cousin?

"Sidney Prescott." It's hard to say her name with anything other than venom, but Jill thinks she manages it. A worthy act for a future star.

The girl blinks up at her, no recognition behind her eyes. "I don't know who that is," she mumbles, mostly to herself, Jill thinks.

Huh. Interesting.

Before Jill can question Tara, the snick of the sliding glass doors disrupts them, and a foul odour permeates the room. She rolls her eyes at the dopey grins the two losers wear as they stumble in.

"Well look who finally decides to show up," Jill sneers, leaning an arm over the couch. "Did you finally remember the child you abandoned or did you just run out of product like the degenerates you are."

Tara frowns at her, and for a moment Jill thinks she's going to interject, but the girl deflates and looks away. Jill's oddly disappointed.

Sam's frowning at her too, though it's not very intimidating given the way her eyes can't seem to focus. It's funny, it's not immediately obvious that the girls are sisters, until they emote. They have the same expression, the same tilt to their head, the same downward twitch to their lips.

"Jeez Roberts, take that stick out your ass why don't you. Tara's cool, aren't you Tar?"

God shut up Kirby. She's so irresponsible sometimes. What does she see in her?

Tara smiles up at Kirby with the fakest-

"See! She's all good."

You've got to be kidding me. That was convincing? Maybe the kid's got talent after all.

From the corner of her vision, Jill sees the way Sam’s eyes narrow.

“What were you doing?” She asks, clearly suspicious.

The audacity. Jill doesn’t know what exactly Samantha thinks she has to be suspicious about when all she was doing is what they should have been doing, and babysitting her little sister. And she’s about to tell Sam where she can shove her question when Tara answers for her.

“Jill was telling me about her cousin.”

Kirby has the unfortunate pleasure of knowing Jill, so the baffled look she sends her way is unfortunately warranted, and she knows Kirby’s going to be demanding answers later. How bothersome.

Sam, however, makes an incredibly speedy trip around the couch – given her condition – to kneel at Tara’s feet and grab at her shoulders.

Jill’s fascinated by the look in the teenager’s eyes, intense and dark. The strain and barely held-back panic in Sam’s voice only makes her more curious.

“What did she tell you?”

Despite the way her sister’s fingers dig into her shoulders with so much force they turn white, or the sharp way she speaks to her, Tara doesn’t seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. Well, she doesn’t react.

Jill’s always been observant, she prides herself on it. It’s how she stays on top of the social hierarchy. So it doesn’t escape her notice how Tara rests a hand on the back of Sam’s, how she stares back with soft eyes, how her words are spoken back in a sickly sweet tone, so innocuous it can’t be anything other than fake.

“Just that her cousin Sidney’s famous.”

It all feels so practised. And it works. Sam’s shoulders relax and she leans back on her heels.

Jill probably shouldn’t… but she just can’t help herself.

“I’m surprised she’s never heard of her, she might be the only person in Woodsboro who hasn’t. Why is that?”

Her innocent act doesn’t match up to Tara’s apparently, as Sam turns to scowl at Jill, a warning in her eyes and in her growl. “Tara’s eight. She doesn’t need to know about any of that crap, so shut your mouth and stay away from her.”

“Sam, you’re being rude.”

It takes Jill a lot of effort not to release the laughter that bubbles in her chest at the wide-eyed and confused way Sam turns and blinks at her sister as the young girl scolds her.

“I’m not- whatever,” Sam huffs, standing up. “It’s time to go.”

Jill watches intently as Sam grabs Tara and lifts her into her arms, as if she were a toddler and not eight, as Sam was so adamantly just telling her. There’s something possessive in the way she holds her. It feels pointed, and the way she catches Sam glancing at her as Jill hands Tara her book back tells her who this display is all for.

There’s something weird about the Carpenter sisters, something… not right. She can’t help but get one last word in as they go to leave.

“Have a good night, don’t let the Ghostface bite.”

She smirks as Sam freezes and her head twitches slightly to the side. Jill finds herself hoping she turns around and confronts her. It’s so very entertaining and she finds she wants to know, to understand, to find out what it is Samantha’s hiding.

Unfortunately, the day continues to be full of disappointments, and Sam continues walking.

Tara sends her a shy wave over her shoulder, which Jill reciprocates, flashing her a winning Jill Roberts smile.

The moment’s ruined by Kirby throwing herself onto the couch, her head slapping into Jill’s lap.

“Soooooo…” she crows, “what was thaaat about?”

Eugh.

- - -

“So what exactly was the deal with you dumping the kid in here, that’s not really like you.”

“Sam didn’t expect to have her today, she was supposed to go over to her best friends after school, but apparently they had a fight. Shortstack even punched her! Ha, didn’t know she had it in her.”

“She doesn’t seem the type.”

“Eh, that Freeman kid is a little bitch, I’m not surprised.”

“So what was the fight about?”

“Why so curious Roberts? Getting broody?”

“Eugh, shut up Reed, you’re the worst sometimes.”

[ask-prismaknight]

Hi!

Welcome to the askblog! This is where you can ask questions directly to Prisma and her friends. My main is @startistdoodles (where likes/follows come from). I have posts regarding all my headcanons tagged there under #kirby worldbuilding.

A few notes upfront:

Depending on the amount of asks I receive, I may not be able to respond to every one of them. Please understand.

On a similar note, please refrain from repeatedly asking the same/similar question multiple times.

Please keep asks PG-13 at most.

The characters are not omnipotent, so lore-related questions about the world or things they may not know will be moved over to @startistdoodles .

My AU follows both anime and game lore, so characters from either can be asked about. Generally anyone who is not dead is free to talk.

Side modes such as Knightmare and Dededetour are not canon to my AU. However, Soul Bosses and Magolor Epilogue are canon.

That's about it! I'll update this post with anything else if needed.

Under the cut is information on some of the characters of interest.

Prisma Knight

Prisma Knight (she/her) is a Star Warrior turned queen after she got into an accident involving Dark Matter that resulted in her losing her wings. Ashamed, she fled her troop and went into hiding on Planet Permafrost. There she was crowned queen after saving the inhabitants from a terrifying threat.

Many years later, she reunited with her old friend Meta Knight and was brought to Popstar, where she currently lives with her servants and new friends.

Kirby

Kirby (he/him or they/them) is a young Star Warrior that arrived on Planet Popstar a couple years ago. Ever since then, his incredible power has been put to the test as he stands up against terrifying threats. But he is never fazed and goes right back to naptime after every battle.

Kirby is still a child (about 3-5 in human years) and his speech isn't the best. He resorts to communicating with drawings or gestures alongside his babbling. His friends can often help suggest what he might be trying to say.

Meta Knight

Meta Knight (he/him) is a mostly retired Star Warrior who resides on Planet Popstar and serves as a watchful knight who aims to protect the planet alongside his crew, the Meta-Knights, aboard his Battleship Halberd. He serves as a mentor to Kirby, as well as a sort of parental figure (despite him disagreeing with the latter).

Many years ago, he and Prisma Knight along with Sir Falspar, Sir Nonsurat and Sir Dragato were in the same troop in the GSA (Galaxy Soldier Army). He presumed Prisma dead when she went missing, but was reunited with her many years later.

King Dedede

King Dedede (he/him) is the self-proclaimed king of Dreamland. Once a greedy and stubborn king, he has since chilled out quite a bit and now acts as a proud ruler (now with 10% less stubbornness!) that many respect. While he can still be loud and hotheaded at times, he cares deeply for his friends and especially his Waddle Dee family.

He and Kirby are friendly rivals, and he will defend his little buddy with everything he's got.

Bandana Waddle Dee

Bandana Waddle Dee (he/him - Bandee for short) is the king's right-hand Waddle Dee. A soldier in training, he assists in the defense of Castle Dedede and even hangs out in town looking for ways he can help others.

He is also one of Kirby's best friends, and the two are almost always seen hanging out together.

Dark Matter Blade

Dark Matter Blade (he/him or it/its - usually shortened to 'Dark Matter', 'Dark Blade' or simply 'Dark') is the former right-hand of Lord Zero, the incarnation of pure dark energy. While once highly respected among his kind, after failing his first big mission of killing a Star Warrior and then again failing to defeat Kirby in his invasion of Popstar many years later, he was forced to flee the Dark Matter tribe under threat of being killed by his master. So, he returned to Popstar where he was reunited with Gooey.

Nowadays he spends his time with his new friends, though is still distrusted by some. He wishes to lead a life of peace and comfort and as such shys away from conflict and confrontation. His relationship with Prisma is very tense — they don’t speak much.

Mochi

Mochi (he/him or they/them) is a new baby that recently landed on Popstar. There is something strange and somewhat dark about him...but he seems sweet enough so Prisma is raising him.

Sidia Knight

Sidia Knight (he/him) is Prisma Knight's old mentor and father figure. After going MIA during the great war that demolished the GSA, he was stranded on Galacta Star for nearly a century. Eventually, he reunites with Quiver Knight and they settle down and live happily together as a married couple.

Hilary: Gangway!

Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy: Hilary?!

Hilary: *She bumps into Donald*

*They both fall onto the ground*

Hilary and Donald: Whoa!

Donald: Hey! What's the big idea!?

Hilary: No time to explain! We gotta get out of here?

Goofy: Gawrsh! What was that all about?

Daisy: I think a better question would be, what is that?! *points to the werewolf, who lets out a loud powerful howl*

Minnie: Oh no! A werewolf!

Hilary: Run!

*The gang ran away*

Donald: I don’t understand what is happening.

Hilary: No time to explain! We have to get to safety!

Daisy: This way! *She along with Donald and Goofy head down an alleyway*

Minnie: C’mon! This way! *She along with Pluto and Hilary dashed down another part of the alleyway*

Hilary: Oh no! Dead end!

Minnie: *points to the werewolf*

Hilary: That’s just great!

Minnie: Now, look here, beast. I will not let you hurt my friends, especially Mickey.

Hilary: *suddenly noticed something* Huh. Wait a minute. *took a closer look at the werewolf and gasps* No way! Minnie! Hate to break it to you, but, Mickey’s the Werewolf!

Minnie: *gasps* Oh, Mickey!

Mickey: *hears a gunshot noise and runs away*

Wallace: Get back here, you furry creature! Wallace McDuffy always gets his creature!

Hilary: Oh no! Wallace is after Mickey! This is not good! *She and Minnie run to stop Wallace*

Pluto: *barks*

Wallace: I gotcha now, werewolf!

Minnie: You leave my Mickey alone, you nasty little monster!

Wallace: Never!

Pluto: *bites Wallace in his rear end*

Wallace: Yeow! Oww! Why you little?!

Hilary: Go, Mickey! Run! Save yourself! I’ll keep Minnie safe. Don’t worry about us. Go!

Mickey: *runs off*

Minnie: C’mon! Let’s go while the getting’s good!

Hilary: *whistles* Pluto! C’mon! Let’s go while the getting’s good.

Pluto: *barks as he follows Minnie and Hilary*

*Meanwhile, Leela, Ethan and Freyja are looking for Alexander and Eliza.*

Ethan: Alexander!

Leela: Eliza Kirby! Where are you?

Freyja: *Noticed Alexander and Eliza Kirby in the distance* Look. There they are!

Alexander: What’s going on, guys?

Eliza: Everything okay?

Leela: Not exactly! It seems that we’ve got ourselves a werewolf on the loose in the Magic Kingdom!

Alexander: A werewolf on the loose?

Eliza: Not good!

Freyja: And to make matters worse, there’s this hunter named Wallace McDuffy.

Alexander: Umm. Where’s Hilary?

Leela: *her phone rings* That’s her now. *she answers* Hello! L-E-E-L-A speaking!

Hilary: Did you find Alexander and Eliza Kirby?

Leela: Yes we did!

Ethan: They’re with us right now. Where are you?

Hilary: With Minnie and Pluto. And get this, it turns out Mickey’s the werewolf.

All: Wait. What?!

Hilary: Yep! I noticed his red shorts with white buttons while we were in the alleyway. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Wallace is after Mickey. And if we don’t stop Wallace, he’ll catch Mickey the WereMouse for sure.

Freyja: Not good! We’re on our way!

Leela: C’mon, guys! It’s time to put Operation: Stop Wallace and Save Mickey Before It’s Too Late into action!

Freyja: Let’s do this!

*The kids do a handstack*

All: For Mickey!

hi, i’d like to submit for the 100 followers celebration this bouquet for jill roberts : CAMELLIA, EDELWEISS (5 times jill attempted to/almost killed reader, and one time she realized she simply couldn’t bring herself to do it), IVY

JUST A GAME THAT CAN'T BE WON

.ೃ࿐ summary: camellia - mutual pining, edelweiss - 5 + 1 of (you choose) & ivy - friends to lovers .ೃ࿐ pairing: jill roberts x gn! reader .ೃ࿐ warnings: murder, causing injury & guns .ೃ࿐ word count: 805 .ೃ࿐ author note: kind of forgot how to count and not exactly like the request. i hope you enjoy it nonetheless

masterlist.

This was the plan. You had to die inorder for the plan to work. It was perfect you dying in the school bathroom, an homage. Jill hid in one of the stalls. Waiting for the perfect moment. You entered, wanting to freshen up before class. The whole school was on edge after the murder of Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper. Has the killer really come back?

One of the stall door opened, hitting the next one. Ghostface walked out. "Haha, funny joke! Kirby!" They pulled out a knife. Not Kirby. You scream for someone to help you. Ghostface hit you. You punched them back. Ghostface doubled over as you made a run for it. They stabbed your shoulder. You managed to leave the bathroom.

The police and your classmates arrived soon after. The principal sent everyone home for the day. You were admitted into the hospital. Your friends arrived as soon as they could along with your parents. You had to answer a lot of questions by the police. Once they were done, you grew tired. Visiting hours ended, you were alone. Two police officers were stationed at your door.

Incase ghostface tries something before you're discharged. You were fast asleep when the attack happened. She'd taken care of the police officers. Now, she was right in front of your door. You looked so peaceful. She can't do this. She didn't know how she could before. You were her friend but she had to finish the plan. She opened the door. You were so cute. The knife in her hand.

She was right above you. One, two, three, NOW! But her hand didn't move. She couldn't move it like a powerful force was keeping her in place. She left.

[ ... ]

Dewey had arranged better security after the second time ghostface tried to kill you. Jill seemed to be sticking to you like glue. The rest of your friends in contrast grew distant. Probably not wanting to be on ghostface's chopping block. You spent most of your time home, watching movies or shows or anything to entertain yourself. You were as safe as you could be.

"Stop moping and let's do something," Jill was insistent on getting you out of the house. "I can't, you know this. My home, my cell." She was stubborn and convinced you to go to the stabaton. "Is this a good idea?" She ignored you as the first movie started. You'd forgotten your drink in the car and left to go get it. As you made your way you were pulled into an empty car. Ghostface covering your mouth.

Preventing you from screaming. You tried getting away but it was no use. Right as they were going to plunge the knife into you. Jill appeared knocking them out. "Let's go!" She grabbed your hand and you ran to her car. She booked it out of there. "Are you okay? Do we need to go to the hospital?"

"No, I'm fine." Still when you stopped, a street away from your house. She made sure to check for any wound. Scared you would lie to her. She was gonna kill Charlie. "You're okay. You're okay. You'r-" She kept repeating it over and over. She wouldn't let go of you. You sat there for a few minutes just embracing each other. Her hold finally let up and she drove you home.

Insisting she'd be the one to explain what happened to your parents. They got mad at you understandably. It wasn't the best idea you've ever had and your parents kicked her out. As she was the one to convince you to go to the stabaton. She was so doomed. She was in love with you. She knows that but Charlie would kill her. Is she willing to risk everything for you?

[ ... ]

It's been only 16 hours since the last time ghostface attacked you. Jill refused to talk to you. So, two police officers drove you to her house. Jill's mom welcomed you in. You made your way to her room. "Hey! I was getting worried. You weren't answering your texts." She was on her bed, not looking at you. "You're ignoring me?"

You were in front of her now. Still not looking. You grabbed her face. Only now did she look at you. "I'm sorry for everything. I love you."

What? She is in love with you? What is she sorry for? She kissed you. You felt something pressed up against the side of your head. You pulled away. "Don't scream. Don't move," it was a gun. "What are you doing?" Tears fell from her eyes. "I have to kill you. I have to k-," you aggressively shook your head. "You don't have to do anything. Just put the gun down."

She listened, dropping the gun and kissed you again. "I love you forever."

Thank you for reading & requesting!

[samcscreams]

“Truth or dare?” Mindy asked looking over to Chad.

Game nights were a regular with the core four. But now they got to add Kirby and Danny to the mix. It was usually board games but they were all wanting to try something knew that would end with less yelling and destruction.

“Dare” Chad said

“I dare you to chug milk” Mindy said with a devilish grin on her face.

“Oh come on Min you know I’m lactose intolerant.” Chad whined

“Rules are rules dingus” Mindy said as she pushed Chads shoulder.

With a grown, Chad got up and headed to the kitchen grabbed the milk and poured a glass. He walked back into view and chugged the glass.

“How are you not vomiting?” Mindy asked as Chad headed back to sit down

“I like Almond milk in my coffee” Tara chimed in

“Never said what type of milk I had to chug” Chad said beaming at Mindy

An eye roll and a scoff escapes Mindy as the room bursts into laughter.

Chad slowly scans the room trying to find the perfect victim. He already got his revenge on Mindy by finding the loophole in her dare. Danny was already grilled on his and Sam’s relationship by Tara. And Kirby was still mad after Mindy dared her to say the best Friday the 13th was part 2. Then there was Sam who so far was pretty unscathed.

“Sam, truth or dare?” Chad asked

“Ummm truth” Sam answered surprising everyone. Sam was usually a dare type of person. Most people are the opposite but Sam would do anything you asked. She’d look of fool or eat something disgusting. For her it was always easier than the truth. But as she was growing tired she thought to herself it’s Chad he’ll ask me my favorite color or food. Like normal she was wrong.

Well shit Chad had thought of the perfect candidate but not the perfect question, Sam never chooses truth. He was gonna dare here to do a 10 push ups with Tara on her back but now he needed something new and he had to make it count.

“Earth to Chad? You have to ask a question now.” Kirby told him

“Ya I’m finding it. Sam never chooses truth. Gotta make sure it’s good” he said

Sam’s stomach dropped at Chads words. The longer he took asking the question the more Sam could feel her anxiety burn through her chest. Her mind was racing with what Chad could ask her. She knows they would never judge her for her truth. But they couldn’t stop her from judging herself.

Tara watched as her sisters breath caught on Chads words. Her jaw clenched and her hands started to fidget more than they already were. Tara reaches over and just puts her hand on Sam’s leg. She could feel her sister relax under her touch. Sam was still stuck in her head but her body knew it was safe. It was a reassuring feeling for Tara to know she had the power to calm Sam with a simple touch. Honestly, it just felt good to know it went both ways.

“I got it!” Chad said

“About time” Mindy added

Turing to Sam Chad took a deep breath. Sam tensed all of her muscles as if someone was about to throw a bomb at her and she had to withstand the blow.

“What’s something you’ve never told anybody before. Not anyone in this room can have heard it before” Chad says sternly trying to make sure there isn’t any loopholes in his question.

Sam swallows hard. Trying to think of an answer was hard especially with Tara and Danny there. The sisters agreed after the latest ghost face attacks no more secrets. They had spent plenty of nights talking about little things from the past. And then there was Danny who she would uses to rant to for hours. She could make something up or saying something Danny would know and he’d play dumb. But no she couldn’t lie to them anymore. Tara would know and The twins would pick on her for years if she gave a weak answer. She could feel everyone’s eyes on her. How they all were hanging on the edge of their seat with anticipation. The pressure was too much. She could feel the walls she built crumbling around her.

“I came back” Sam blurted out

“What?” They all said in unison

“To Woodsboro” she said looking at the floor

“Ya Sam we all know that it’s not a se…” Mindy said but was cut off

“No before that. I came back when I was 21.” The room was silent. Blank faces stared back at her. Sams heart felt like it was gonna explode. And then it did.

Tara took off to her bedroom.

“Tara wait” Sam said running after her sister

“Nice going dingus” Mindy said as she hit the back of Chads head

“I thought we said no more secrets” Tara said sitting on her bed as Sam entered the room.

“I know. I know I just didn’t want to remember this one” Sam said in a defeated tone

“I really could have had you back sooner?” Tara with tears in her eyes looked up at Sam

“No, yes, maybe but it didn’t happen like that. It’s complicated.” Sam said as she moved to the bed next to Tara

“Then tell me” Tara whispered

“Okay. Okay. So I had been clean for about three months. I had a stable job and thought maybe it was safe for me to come back. The night I left I made a promise to myself that when I did come back I was gonna be the big sister you deserved. I thought I was ready. When I got back I snuck into my old room like I used to. I could hear you downstairs. I was gonna sneak back out and come through the front door but you weren’t alone. Amber was there and my curiosity got the better of me. I waited upstairs just listening to you talk. I could barely recognize your voice. It broke me knowing how much time I missed with you. I was about to leave. Maybe give it a day or two and try again. But then I heard Amber mention me. You know Sam could never love you like I can she said. Her words just pissed me off. Like she knew I was there listening. I was about to rush downstairs when I heard you say i don’t need her anymore just you. I was frozen. To hear you so confidently say you didn’t need me anymore to agree that someone else could provide you the love I had for you was all too much to take… I broke my sobriety that night.”

Sam was crying before she could finish. Tara took her hand and just looked at Sam who was so broken down she looked like a husk of herself.

“I remember that day. It’s not true I just said that because I was mad. I shouldn’t have said that. If I didn’t I might have had you sooner. I’m So sorry” Tara said trying to get Sam to look at her.

“I didn’t want to tell you for this exact reason. My actions are not your fault Tara. You had every right to be mad at me for leaving.” Sam’s eyes were sharp and sincere.

“I know but you still left again. If I didn’t…”

“No Tara I left again because of mom. I spiraled that night and landed in jail for public intoxication. Hicks called mom to bail me out. She said she only would if I promised to leave again. That you didn’t deserve to be known as my sister. That you moved on and we’re doing better with out me”

Tara jumped onto her sister Bear hugging her. Sam shook as she let out a sob. The touch of forgiveness and understanding swirled around them.

“I’m so proud to be your baby sister. I’d shout it from the roof tops if I could. I’d alert the presses and call the president. The news stations would be buzzing with head lines “this just in Tara Carpenter is honored to be Samantha Carpenters sister” the world deserves to know just how important you are to me.” Tara pulled away from her sister as they both started to chuckle

“I’m the lucky one” Sam said in return

“Ya but everyone already knows that” Tara said through a cheesy grin.

“Hey” Sam said as she slightly shoved her sister in a playful manner.

Tara got off the bed and walked to the door before she opened it she turned back to her sister.

“You could have lied but you didn’t. Thank you for telling me.”

“I just can’t lie to you all anymore. It’s gotten us nowhere.”

Tara just nods her head in agreement As she opens the door

“I think it’s time for eye spy” Tara says as the sisters walk towards the group.

Nobody dares ask anything. They all just agree to the game change. Before the sisters part ways and go back to their seats with the group Sam grabs Tara’s hand and squeeze three times.

The first squeeze to say thank you.

The second to say Im not going anywhere.

The third to say I love you.

For Kirby Lore

What is Kirby’s species and how does it work? Are they like a void in disguise?

Good question!

Okay, so, just a bit of backstory: The creator of all, Void, is dead. It's just a corpse floating through space whose body parts reincarnate into a god (I like to call them void as an species too, might change it) every time it comes upon an event which is very positive or negative, the power the void being dependant on what was the event that made the god be born.

Cue the Metadede wedding, everyone has having a jolly time and Void's corpse just happens to be meandering around there so boom! Guess who was born! Void Batamon, the god of friendship!

(His true form if u were ever curious)

(Also yeah Void is kind of a suffix for all of these voids, Void Zero, Void Nebula, etc)

So basically her power is that they can make ppl into literal weapons (Think of Yoru from Chainsaw Man's power but way less gory), the strongest his bond with this person the stronger the weapon is, and the weapon turns back into a person when he discards it.

Also yes! A void in human disguise! Now you might as "How is it possible? Can Kirby shapeshift?" Nope! This is thanks to Dark Nebula, God of lying; their power is that they can do anything... as long as you believe it! If you can see pass their bs then they're useless (Which is why they got enslaved by Kirby and Zero at the same time, long story)

So with this power, they're basically applying an illusion over Kirby in which everyone believes he's a human child instead of a huge eldritch god child. Does that make sense?

Thanks for your question :3

Question Time

Time to get some asks outta the way

Questions below

W

Whe When the series called Birth of a Wish is actually about the story of the birth of a wish (Marx) (its really smart guys)

Bro I was literally just looking at your account and art like four hours ago what kinda witchcraft is this. But keep up the good work, I love how you draw Marx.

Also I love to see you and a ton of people find inspiration in me, especially when it comes to them enjoying my version of Marx because guess what. He’s a reflection of me and my experiences irl.

The realization Castella is a more common word than I thought and I have essentially poisoned at least a hundred if not a thousand minds so that every time they see the word Castella they think of a orb makes me kick my legs and giggle.

But Castella would like cheesecake, I think New-York Style would be her favorite type.

Nextgen Elfilin is either absolutely terrified of you or sees you as a family figure, there is no in-between

Nightmare isn’t Metaknight’s creator, but his influence did have a hand in Metaknight’s creation. Nightmare and his overall power was around waiting in the shadows, and a passing nebula gathered the positive energy from Popstar as well as some of Nightmare’s strange negative energy, giving way to Metaknight’s birth on a nearby planet. So Metaknight is a Light matter being with some of Nightmare’s power in him.

Magolor’s curse tattoos are from the Master Crown which were applied to his body after his initial defeat via Kirby. So the dude literally had to claw his way through Magolor Epilogue with this curse on his body.

I really liked Magolor Eplilogue, it has a good story to explain how Magolor got back to Dreamland as well as some extra hints of lore we haven’t gotten. I enjoy the challenge and how I actually needed to grind if I wanted to beat the final two bosses. And unlike a lot of people’s opinions I’ve seen , the ending is great. It’s one of those “happy but not in the stereotypical happy ending way as there’s still more to conquer” endings. Sadly there was no Marx though, which I was hoping he’d cameo in the epilogue, so a good 8/10 or 8.5/10 for me.

When a Dark Matter being reaches a certain amount of power they do grow into beings like Zero, however to me and in the event of Nextgen Zero2 is a Soul form of Zero, similar to Drawica soul or Marx Soul.

Yep! I’m alive! And I I will continue to be active on this account with Kirby stuff. I may kinda fall off once I graduate from college (which will happen either in 2025 or 2026) considering that’s my jump into real adulthood but that’s a while from now.

YESSSSS YOU GET IT TOO RIGHT!? Husbando Marx is literal comedy gold.

[kirbybecomesastarwarrior]

So is Papi in the story?

Yeah, Papi's in there plays a big role in Meta Knight's story. He is the key to Meta Knight overcoming his demonic instincts. He's integral in MK to learn to be comfortable in his skin...

(keep in mind I'm mixing game lore & anime lore). And for those of you who don't know Papi's character from the Kirby light novel.

With my version (the KBASW) of MK, his power level is god-tier! Not only that, but he was a strategic king. (This man was not the lone survivor without reason!) Hayday Meta Knight was an absolute war machine on the battlefield. But what's stopping him from being OP now, you may ask... TRAUMA!

After losing Jecra (his person), Meta Knight literally goes berserk leading to disastrous consequences. As a result had to seal his power away cutting 2/3 of his power level... to contain something awful away...

Even when he does unseal himself he basically has to relearn how to use his powers. They're not coming to him as natural (but in reality, it's more of an emotional reason...) Basically, his story with Papi is coming to terms with who he is (self-love and all that.)

But Papi's story doesn't exactly end with their adventure in Hades... Papi doesn't know this, but his (Papi's) soul is waiting for someone very special and is bound to wait for them... (he just doesn't remember who...)

Hint: My version of Papi's story was inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice's story... and for you, musical nerds/geeks out there (I'm one, too) basically Hadestown.

BTW: I've been getting a lot of lore questions lately and I love it!

Keep it up! Though it's just gonna take some time for me to get to them, I'm getting there I promise. (thank you guys)

Next up: Marx's role in the story! And I will say he is my second favorite character arc.

Nintendo Dream #6 RtDL DX Interview Part 2

Here’s the translation-summary for the second half of the RtDL DX interview with Kumazaki and the team, continuing from last month!

...Sadly, it doesn’t come close to answering all our questions. (The True Arena remains a mystery... :sob:) And I get the feeling Kumazaki’s going to continue to be very staunch on not giving away any hot lore deets/timeline information. Ever. But I like that he continues to encourage speculation!

Anyway, read below for the whole thing!

--

Q: I'd like to ask about the sub-games

-Nishi says since they were deluxe-ifying Kirby Wii, they wanted to enhance the parts of it where everyone could have fun together. The discussion of increasing the amount of sub-games and making them more extravagant led to the idea for Merry Magoland. Due to the desire to have many different generations enjoy them, they pulled popular games from a variety of classic titles and made them four- player.

-Kumazaki says they paid attention to including a variety of play experiences when selecting sub-games, so the experience of playing each doesn't overlap with the others. Man-power wise, it wasn't possible to put everything in, but looking back on it, he says, they miraculously included all their first choices on the initial design document. Ten felt like the right number for this "deluxe" game. They were even able to include some new ones, give them all a unique feel and make them all four-player. He notes as a director on Ultra Super Deluxe (Super Star Ultra) he was in charge of every sub-game there and how difficult it was to design games that used both screens and touch capabilities.

<Short additional commentary about designing games around the Wii remote and transferring that to the Joy-con I'm skipping>

Q: I'd like to ask which of the 10 sub-games everyone has the most feelings associated with.

-Tani says his is Egg Catcher, being the first sub-game in the Kirby series. It was very difficult and so there was some debating about making it more accessible... in the end, they slowed it down some to make it easier. But as you increase in difficulty, it gets about as hard as the original game.

Q: In the original, King Dedede throws the eggs, but here he's an ally. How did you go about solving that problem?

-Tani says that after thinking about it, they gave that role to a robot. It allowed them to re-include the Dedede robot from the Wii version's sub-game, Scope Shot.

Q: Kirby catches the eggs in their mouth, but Meta Knight has a mask and Bandanna Waddle Dee doesn't have a mouth. How did you go about solving this issue?

-Tani says that after thinking about a lot of options they settled on baskets. (laughs) He mentions that Dedede is taller than the other characters so the position he would catch the eggs at would be different. So they fixed that by putting the other characters on raised platforms.

-Watanabe says his favorite is the new game Magolor's Tome Trackers. Because it's Magolor's theme park, they made a sub-game where Magolor takes a big role. The rules are fairly simple, but that gives it lots of replay ability. But there are also fun changes to the conditions and the way it plays by Magolor showing you the back of the book instead or only the color, or taking time before giving you a hint. "My bad! Looks like I showed you the wrong side of the book!" he says, in Magolor-ese, to describe how the gameplay maintains these characterful "Magolor" elements.

Q: Magolor has become a really great character capable of anything now. (laughs)

-Kumazaki says Magolor has grown into a character that can do things they can't have other characters do, something of a rarity in the Kirby series.

-Nakanishi says his favorite sub-games are Checkerboard Chase and Smash Ride. Both can be tricky to control just right, but that makes it more exciting to play with others, and he was very happy they got remade for this game.

-Ninomiya chimes in about Samurai Kirby. It was a sub-game he'd always liked, and while there was some thinking needed to decide how to make it work with four players, its even more exhilarating to win in this version. And that goes for the online version as well. It works with motion controls so you can really pretend to be a samurai.

Q: Samurai Kirby 100 is a game you can play online against others but only once per day. Pleas tell us more about that.

-Kumazaki says most online games involve hanging out in the lobby, chatting with friends, and its very fun. And while the Kirby series has been making attempts at online play with Super Kirby Clash and Dream Buffet, he wanted a game that you can play with no waiting, just a quick, casual investment you could play without any fear.

It's a simple one button game, but they decided, rather than that just being something you could play online, "Wouldn't it be awesome if you could engage in a 100-person battle royal?!" and that was how Samurai Kirby 100 came about.

-Watanabe says they aimed for a goal where you could decide who was best in all the world in a snap. And because it just requires one button press, anyone can have an easy time playing it. It ends quickly too, but they put a lot of effort into the presentation of the game because of that. And you get to see something special if you get 1st place, so he hopes people will keep trying it every day.

[The Symbol of Peace in the Kirby World]

Q: There's an orange butterfly flying near Kirby and King Dedede in the opening and ending movies. Is that the same orange butterfly that has appeared in other titles?

-Kumazaki says that in regards to the story, many times they put much more priority on the game design aspects. But in order to expand upon the world's setting (or if it will make the series as a whole more exciting) they scatter these little seeds that make you think up these deeper connections.

Q: So you're looking/focusing toward the future

-Kumazaki says that the world of Kirby, in order to stay diverse with each entry, has many parallel world elements and unconnected timelines, and he cannot clarify for us if that butterfly possesses the same role in different entries. But that there are elements left in the game that those who want to enjoy the story more can ponder on.

Q: I see.

-Kumazaki says Meta Knight has his airship, the Halberd, that sank in the end of Meta Knight's Revenge. But in a later game, Kirby Squeak Squad, they bring back the sinking Halberd as it's laying at the bottom of the sea in this game. And that there are new stories that can arise from pulling out past story beats like that. Slipping these things in softly can allow those unaware of these to experience the depth of the series' story as well, keeping these elements alive, without interfering in the enjoyment of the series' gameplay.

So if you're unfamiliar with the orange butterfly, it can be a symbol of peace, representing the calm before the adventure kicks in, or the mood of the ending. There are many different points of view you can see it from. Kumazaki wants both those unfamiliar with or not that interested with the story to be able to have their own takes on it and take in the story as they wish.

Q: There's lots of theories/questions though. (laughs)

-Kumazaki says if you play lots of Kirby games then play RtDL DX, you may definitely be thinking "Wait, is that?!" And the fact that the butterfly avoids touching Dedede's head directly but stopping on the flower instead... we make little considerations like that.

[Magolor Epilogue where Magolor is the star]

-Kumazaki says the original had The Arena and Extra Mode, which is generally the right amount of volume for a good Kirby game, but since so many people have already played RtDL, they wanted something unknown, like there'd be if this was a new game - something new to enjoy. They also were thinking up something that included a different style of play than that of the main mode.

Four plays is the crux of the game, so you can play as four Magolors in the Magolor Epilogue too, but this is also an adventure to raise up a weakened Magolor and make him strong again. He focused on adding that growth/development part to the "fun, four player action."

-Watanabe says, regarding the gameplay systems, they included mechanics where you could develop the player character as you pleased, something that they haven't done much of in Kirby. It linked up nicely with the story of Magolor picking himself up from losing his powers, easing you into the story nicely.

Q: It's fun to raise characters up like in an RPG

-Watanabe says that outside of connecting the gameplay to the story, another reason they chose this style of gameplay was to make a wide-audience game that anyone could play. This mode unlocks after you've cleared the main mode, so there is a bit of a difficulty curve, but its also balanced so that players who don't like action games can proceed via powering Magolor up enough. We aimed for something playable for action game veterans and newcomers.

Q: By the way, is it possible to complete this mode if you don't power up Magolor at all?

-Watanabe says yes. The challenge stages require specific power ups, but you can play to the end of the game ignoring those. He's done it himself, he says. It's very difficult though, so if you're confident in your skills, please, make the attempt!

-Nananishi says its the kind of challenge they can include because its post-game content. Kirby and the Forgotten Land's copy ability upgrade system was well-received. This game's system is a bit different, but Kirby hasn't really been a series with elements where your abilities change as you grow, so they look forward to how these different elements will be received.

Q: Why did Magolor's outfit turn gray?

-Kumazaki says they made it white to show how he'd lost his powers after "a certain fight." It visualizes how he's lost all his energy. He's not going to elaborate on the series timeline, but there are things in RtDL DX that lean toward connecting the various stories.

Q: So, he's out of energy?

-Kumazaki says the other reason he's dressed in white is that in RtDL, there are these dimensional rifts that allow you to travel through a variety of worlds, and so Magolor's clothes are white to make you think "Oh wait, does it mean this?!" There's a bit that hints at this, so I'm happy if you complete the epilogue and are able to feel "Aha! So that's why he's dressed in white!"

-

<LATE EDIT: Sooo, I was in a rush when I wrote this and didn’t double check even though it pinged something in my brain (Bad Dess. Always double check!) but there is some implication, notably in the fact that Kumazaki corrects the interviewer gray > white and some obscure/older meaning behind the word “white clothes” that they’re also meant to be funerary garb.>

-

Q: By the way, you can play as four Magolors in multiplayer mode, but is this magic or some other established ability to split oneself?

-Kumazaki says that in Star Allies's post-game content, Heroes in Another Dimension, Kirby can transform into the Dream Friends themselves. Because it's otherwise very hard for Player 1 to play as the Dream Friends in Star Allies, so he wanted a special kind of game experience where you could control them all at the end. Lots of unusual things occur in the space known as Another Dimension, but... they realized it would cause less unease if you could just be four Magolors rather than Magolor somehow being able to summon Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandanna Waddle Dee to journey with him. It also makes it more of a Magolor Epilogue because its only Magolor.

Q: It's sure something to play with four people as four Magolors. (laughs)

Unlike with Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, where Kirby is divided into four by Dark Meta Knight at the start of the adventure, nothing happens to cause this. We just wanted to emphasize the fun of playing together as four Magolors gathering power and growing. This is just something conceived of to be unique and fun to this game.

Q: On the note of the four Magolors, tell me about being able to play as four Kirbys of differing colors.

-Kumazaki says the point of the multi-color Kirbys is so that everyone can be the main character. We had something similar in Star Allies with the helpers, but outside of Kirby, those are generally controlled by the CPU to help out and add elemental abilities.

Q: The helpers give off a strong impression of being support to Kirby during Kirby's own adventure.

-Kumazaki says that in contrast to that, the multi-colored Kirbys are distinct for letting everyone be the main character, and everyone play as Kirby. It's a difference of theme. To match up with the theme of the game, everyone can play as a Kirby of a different color. Because the helpers are identified as helpers, they're really support roles that exist to fulfill a need in the series.

[Kumazaki looks back at 30 years of Kirby]

Q: It's been a packed 30th anniversary.

-Kumazaki says with the goal of making the 30th a big celebration, they worked together with teams and departments outside of just Japan, all toward this one goal, and that he was glad they did. It was very difficult of course, but everyone put their all into "Let's make the consumers happy!" and "Let's make this 30th huge!" It was thanks to this clear goal that Kumazaki and everyone else was able to keep moving in the same direction and that everything was done with excitement and that you can feel the team's energy.

Q: You released three vastly different games this year.

-Kumazaki says for him, the biggest challenge was making those three games. It wasn't just because it was the 30th or to release a new Kirby title, but because they wanted to make the very best title they could that they were able to release three titles exactly on time for the 30th. But the Music Fest, that was definitely prepared especially as a 30th anniversary celebration.

Q: It was really impressive that you made that happen.

-Kumazaki says that he feels as if Kirby has grown much larger thanks to all the events packed into the 30th anniversary celebration. Kirby was 9 years old when he entered HAL Laboratory (2002) so it was just before the 10th anniversary. Now it's been 20 years and you see Kirby in all kinds of places. Kirby dolls hanging on students bags, Kirby merchandise for sale in storefronts, and Kirby prizes at gaming arcades. He says that back during the 20th anniversary, it was still somewhat rare to see Kirby merchandise around. There are many more opportunities to see Kirby in games and elsewhere in just these 10 years. From the first entry to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, not just in Japan but all over this wide world, support for Kirby really has grown. He felt that with the scale of the Music Fest, compared to the orchestra concert celebrating the 25th anniversary just five years ago. The deep feeling that Kirby is loved by so many all over.

Q: You worked person-to-person with the sound staff on the Music Fest while making those three new games, right?

-Kumazaki says it was incredibly difficult. (laughs) The peak of difficulty was Dream Buffet's development falling right when the end of production for the Music Fest was happening. I was listening to songs from the Music Fest in one ear and BGM tracks from the games with the other. We'd made the plan to announce Dream Buffet on stage during the Music Fest, so I made those announcement preparations with the feel of "We're working on it RIGHT now!"

Q: You did the voice of King Dedede for the HAL Laboratory Dream Band King Dedede Fest" didn't you?

-Kumazaki says about that, they didn't rehearse his part in the song before the event. (laughs) After hours at Kirby Cafe Tokyo, they did rehearsal and recording all in the short space between then and opening the next day. "I'll do it!" he thought to himself as he joined in, thinking it would please the fans.

Q: With the release of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the scope of what a Kirby game is has increased, and many people are looking forward to what's going to come out next.

-Kumazaki says as new ways of play are discovered, evolutions and enhancements on types of play increase as well, with things like additional growth parameters but they generally want to see player's growth and proficiency at the controls of the action games they play. The scope of the games has increased, but push it past a certain line and it really would become an RPG, and that action (the genre) and learned proficiency are very important to Kirby, so he's going to continue thinking about that balance going forward. Which is quite challenging.

Q: That brought us the "Magolor Epilogue" right? Magolor did no talking on his own, the whole story till the end was communicated in that fashion. Very well done.

<They're talking about the fact that he doesn't talk to anyone else to explain the story or his feelings while you're playing the game, yet you still understand the narrative. Obviously, he still has some dialogue when you power him up.>

-Kumazaki thanks the interviewer, saying that with an action game, its good to have a story you can read between the lines. And, he adds, the reveal that Magolor('s ears) was dark brown/black underneath his hood was always there from the beginning of his creation.

<They make specific mention of his ears, but I think the point is to emphasize that his looks aren't because he's in "shadow">

Q: Lastly, please share let us hear your enthusiasm as we move into the 31st year of the Kirby series.

-Kumazaki says that the 30th anniversary came about because of the hard work of staff and most of all, the cheers of so many fans. The games, the music fest, the events and merchandise. FL is the series first main line 3D action game, Dream Buffet lets you compete against others online, and now this game, a deluxe remake of an 11 year old 2D action game, so there's a great variety of Kirby for the fans to enjoy.

That the team had been feeling this after the 20th anniversary, but with the growth of the staff, while they were able to deliver almost non-stop Kirby titles, presenting nothing but traditional 2D sidescrolling action titles alone might put the series in a rut. That's why with much work, they try to change up the world, the graphics, and the style of play, but the series needs even more variety going forward. Now, at the 30th anniversary, the team has gained so much more experience and are ready to challenge new types of play. It's a big thing to deliver a diverse lineup of titles. But there are still things left undone and new challenges ahead. They don't want to be limited to just mainline titles and specific staple genres and are making preparations to deliver an even more diverse Kirby series to the world. Please look forward to what the new Kirby series will continue to have in store!
