i just think it’s so cool when gems are used in kirby where/when something is very powerful !!!!!!!! 😙

i know gem apples and the sun stones are their own things for the most part but the jamba heart and galacta knights sealing crystal are *physical manifestations* of the magic in a resurrection spell and in a curse. and. HOW COOL IS THAT !!!! you gather energy and as it bunches together it crystallizes. when you cast a spell to bind someone’s body the result is a big cut gemstone forming all around them. SO cool

Queen Sectonia DX is sooooooo pretty,like,one of the Kirby designs ever,and I’m sad that nobody really seems to talk about it

As you may have seen on my Kirby therapy tier list, I put Kirby himself in the "needs therapy" tier.

I've seen people argue that Kirby doesn't need therapy or that he could even be the one playing therapist to others in the series. I don't disagree with these sentiments, although it's just a matter of interpretation more than anything.

There are actual reasons as to why I put Kirby himself in the tier where he is. I'll make it clear that it's based on my personal interpretation of him, but here's why:

I get the sense that Kirby must be really feeling the weight on his non-existent shoulders to be playing the hero all the time. He's been through so much, has confronted so many eldritch horrors, and have saved so many people, and it definitely has to be affecting him mentally. Even if he attempts to repress it, that doesn't mean the stress isn't there.

And the thing is that Kirby, at least in my interpretation, is a bleeding heart. He cares about people so much. He's always been wanting to help others that need it. He feels like it's an obligation for him. If he ends up failing to save someone, it hurts him. It would hurt him and break his heart if one of his friends were to die, or if a loved one of one of his friends were to die.

I'll mention two incidents where he feels like he failed: the deaths of Sectonia and Max Haltmann.

Kirby wishes that he helped save them, and it really hurt him that he didn't. When he was informed by Taranza and Susie that they were trying to save their respective loved ones, and told him about their backstories and how Sectonia and Haltmann weren't always evil and that they were corrupted by outside forces, it broke his heart. Both situations broke his heart. He wishes he could've helped Taranza and Susie get the happy endings that he believes they deserved, and the fact that it didn't happen makes him feel like he failed them.

Taranza and Susie aren't mad at Kirby over it, though. They understand that he was just protecting his home, and they feel more responsible for their loved ones' death than he is. They're friends with him, and although the process of them becoming his friends was admittedly a little awkward, in the end they don't hold a grudge against him despite the initial bad starts they had with him.

(Note that I headcanon that Susie is generally pretty guarded, as she hasn't opened up about her backstory to most people. But Kirby is one of the people that she did disclose her backstory to, although it was a little while after becoming friends when she did so, and he promised not to tell anyone when she said to keep it secret. Needless to say, learning about the Haltmanns' backstory was really horrifying and upsetting for Kirby)

I've seen people come up with the interpretation that Kirby saved everyone in the Switch games (including saving Hyness and Leongar) because of the guilt that he has over the 3DS tragedies, and I think that's a great interpretation. Enough to make me want to adapt it for my headcanons. And when it makes him look back at those previous incidents, it makes him upset. Kirby still wishes he could've helped save Sectonia and Haltmann like he did for Hyness and Leongar.

And so this is something that my interpretation of Kirby could use therapy over. He feels guilty and that he failed in those two situations. That, and alongside whatever stress he could (secretly?) be having over the weight on his shoulders of playing hero all the time.

I'll mention another thing for my interp's Kirby: After the events of Milky Way Wishes, he didn't see Marx for a long time, and it made him believe that he killed him. It made him sad, because even though Marx did turn out to be evil at the time, Kirby had the feeling he could've been redeemed and that they could've been friends. He would've loved to see Marx survive and do better, but there was a time where he thought that he died, and it admittedly upsetted him.

But Marx came back. It turns out he survived Nova's explosion, and crossed paths with Kirby again a long time after. Kirby was very happy to see that he survived and they became friends. The same also goes for Magolor, because Kirby didn't see him for a while after RTDL and was worried, but he was happy to see him come back and become a friend as well.

At least Marx and Magolor came back and became Kirby's friends, but sadly Sectonia and Haltmann did not and will not. Kirby will always feel the weight of those tragedies.

That sums up my thoughts on the matter and as to why I put Kirby in the "needs therapy" tier on that list. I do believe he can handle his problems a lot better than most of the others in the cast, but there are legitimately stuff he'd need therapy over. Of course, if you're one of those who believe he doesn't need it or that he himself is the therapist, bravo to you. Funny enough, the latter is also somewhat existent in my verse's Kirby too, on top of him also needing it.

modern kirby has some weird moral standards

magolor. wanted to take over the universe, but got mind-controlled and possessed by the master crown. redeemed. karma's a bitch huh. i have no problems with this tbh, he did everything he could to make amends and destroyed the crown himself

sectonia. used to be a nice queen, but stared into the dimension mirror for so long that it drove her completely mad. started to feed on other creatures and copy parts of their appearances for thousands of years to fill the gnawing void of self-hatred and body dysmorphia the mirror brought out in her. this gave her an existential crisis so bad that she LITERALLY BEGS FOR DEATH when she realizes how far gone she is. irredeemable. dead

haltmann. used to be a self-made inventor and family man, but tragically lost his daughter to another dimension and got his mind and memories eaten by an eldritch supercomputer. regretted everything in his final moments. irredeemable. dead

hyness. used to be a dark matter worshipping wizard before he got banished. proceeded to throw an aeons-long hissy fit about it, growing more unhinged and vengeful until he concluded that he needed to summon a destroyer god to kill everyone in the universe. had countless opportunities to stop what he was doing. threw up his hands and went "nah". abused his followers MULTIPLE times, ON SCREEN no less, to the point where in the japanese version it's implied that they only came to another dimension to get revenge on him for their terrible treatment. performed a fucking SACRIFICIAL RITUAL on said followers against their own will. didn't show one ounce of remorse. just doubled down. is an obvious threat to all existence. aww he's not evil! let's be best friends forever!

elfilis. assimilated planets for the thrill of conquest. bit off more than they could chew. got captured. got experimented on for thirty years until a lab accident basically turned their frontal lobe into a separate person (elfilin), causing them to revert back to the physical and mental age of a young child. turned into a tourist attraction. has been isolated for so long that they hear the announcer's voice in their nightmares. irredeemable. dead

people say that elfilis is the worst kirby villain and tbh so did i for a while, but upon further reflection idk if fecto forgo can even help the way they are. solitary confinement fucks people up in ways we can't even start to comprehend

hyness doesn't have that excuse no matter what he says in his ramblings. he's a cult leader surrounded by legions of loyal followers, and they all live in a space station the size of a fucking solar system. the man has no excuse he's just a hater

(edit: before someone tries to say that he got corrupted by void. his rant mentions in the japanese text that void is "swayed by the one who awakens him", and the lore shows that depending on what emotions and energies void gets exposed to before incarnating, he can be good or evil. in other words, void termina and his vessel, the jamba heart, are so dangerous and toxic to other beings BECAUSE OF HYNESS)
