Hope you enjoy!

For the character ask, what about Waddle Dee?

Send Me a Character!

First impression Did not care much for them but I was a tiny kid who played games like Kirby inhaled food. Gone through a whole lotta games, but might not have savored them all properly. I think I did find them cute but never drew them much. I did not draw many of the characters I played the games of when I was a kid. :(

Impression now They are babies, I want to claim them as my babies but they are everyone's babies and I'm happy to share them. I want a Waddle Dee nendoroid, I am not satisfied with just the one plushie of them, but I like it cuz I love squishing it and I won them at a UFO catcher.

Favorite moment Every moment. EVERY. MOMENT. (ok if you want an actual favorite moment, it would be any time they speak, and especially the times when they grubbed on food in the anime.)

Idea for a story Yo, I always had this story/idea about the Waddle Dees being the servants/staff/etc. for Smash Bros. They also run a cafe ala the Kirby Cafe irl. They love serving the fighters, and yes many of them are fandees of fighters and assist trophies.

Unpopular opinion Idk if it's unpopular now cuz there's been a HUGE surge of Waddle Dee love lately and it could just be my social medias catering to my interests and disdains. But I just really think Waddle Dees are cuter than Kirby. Their squeaks and antics are too cute... ...oh yeah I think Bandee is fine. Prefer the vanilla Waddle Dee. I'm just not like...a huge Bandee fan. Though now that I think of it, they're kinda like Luigi...

Favorite relationship Just the Dees vibing with Kirby is splendid by me. Them being friends with Kirby is lovely. I do appreciate them serving King Dedede, but I'm liking the Waddle Dees establishing their own society. They are like Toads now I love them.

Favorite headcanon Again, big fan of them being workers who help maintain Smash cuz as much as Master Hand handling everything with magic snaps or whatever makes sense, there could be hired hands for more mundane stuff. Idk i just love the dees ok??? ;o; I want them in everything. A bonus headcanon cuz I love them and idk when I'll be asked about the Deedles again, but I like thinking they're really fluffy as babies, but are still soft in "adulthood"...whatever that is for a Dee.

Chapter 4: A Powerful Enemy? Dedede Café

Bandana Waddle Dee gathered his staff at Castle Dedede, one by one.

"Are you joining the staff too, Sir Kibble?

"Correct. I’m in charge of cutting all kinds of fruit and cake with my cutter."

"What about you, Broom Hatter?"

"I clean the floor. After that, I do the dishes."

"And Knuckle Joe?"

"I'm the bouncer. My job is to guard the café from bad customers! When possible, I’m a waiter and show customers to their seats and take their orders."

"Alright then. Let's get going!"

While everyone was buzzing about, the door to the hall opened and King Dedede appeared.

"Thank you all for gathering here for me." The Great King said gravely.

Burning Leo whispered: "I came here for the Waddle Dees’ desserts, not for you, Dedede..."

"Hmm? What did you just say there, Burning Leo?"

"Nothing, nothing at all!"

Dedede looked around and continued. "As you may have heard, I have decided to build the finest café in all of Dream Land. It’s called the 'Delicious Deluxe Dessert Café', or Dedede Café for short!"

The Waddle Dees (and the rest of the crowd) clapped their hands in unison.

"The location will be the garden of Castle Dedede. You will be responsible for building the furniture, kitchen and other necessities. I expect you all to make something gorgeous that’s worthy of being called the Great King Dedede’s cafe. So, let's get started!"

Everyone went out into the garden in a huddle. Bandana Waddle Dee unfolded a piece of paper and said: "These are the blueprints for the chairs and tables. Everyone, please follow these instructions."

"All right!"

Everyone started cutting wood and building chairs and tables according to the blueprints.

"I've also made a design for a sign. Cut a board into a circle and paint the words 'Dedede Café' on it…"

"Waddle Dee."

A harsh voice rang out. Bandana Waddle Dee turned around and saw Dedede standing there with his arms folded.

"The sign is important," he said. "I hope you've come up with a beautiful design that properly represents me."

"W-well… Beautiful… Actually, I tried to make a stylish and cool sign…"

"Let me see."

King Dedede took up the design and immediately, his face turned grim.

"What's this? This is way too plain!"

"Too plain…?"

"Yellow letters with a red border on a blue background… What? That's boring!"

"I thought I’d pick the colors that’d represent the Great King the best…"

"You can’t represent me with some plain colors, you need something flashy and sparkly… That's it. We're going to use colorful light bulbs to represent the letters."

"Light bulbs...? But there's no power source nearby."

"What are you talking about? We have Sparky."

When he heard his name being called, Sparky, who was busy cutting wood, jumped up.

"Me...?"

"Correct. You'll be our power source. You'll have to use all your strength to make the light bulbs on the sign shine so bright that everyone will know how great I am!"

"But I'm not strong enough for that!" Sparky grumbled, but King Dedede was too enraptured by the idea to hear him.

"No, no, no, wait a minute, it's too small as it is. Waddle Dee, make the sign at least ten times bigger."

"Ten, ten times bigger… Light bulb sign..."

There's no one who could eat near such a bright sign. Bandana Waddle Dee was on the edge, but of course he didn't want to disobey the Great King's order.

"Oh, I get it…"

King Dedede looked around at the inhabitants working on chairs and tables, and then grumbled again.

"Ugh, what a bunch of boring chairs and tables!"

Bandana Waddle Dee hastened to explain. "I tried to design a comfortable chair and a table that lets you easily lay out the food…“

"These designs are too plain! Is it really that difficult to design something that actually captures my greatness properly?"

"Yeah… Let's see…"

"These designs won’t do. What we need is something that radiates a powerful aura!"

"Chairs and tables with a powerful aura… Hmmm…"

"Something that's fun and exciting to sit in! Oh, I've got just the perfect idea!"

"P-perfect idea?"

This made Bandana Dee feel uneasy. Dedede’s “perfect idea” was bound to be bad, but it seemed that the king had a lot of confidence in it.

"It's a chair that suddenly jumps up and down. And so does the table, of course."

"...Wha…"

"We're going to make a thrilling roller-coaster chair that will make everyone squeal!"

"U-uhm… Great King… Great King, we're building a café, not an amusement park…"

"Fortunately, we have Bouncy on our side!"

Bouncy, who was busy hammering nails, nearly flipped over when she was called out by her name.

"M-m-m-me!?"

"Yes, you. You're good at jumping up and down, aren't you?"

"Y-yeah… but…"

"Gather your people, crawl under the chairs and tables, and jump."

"What?"

Bouncy jumped up and down and ran for cover. Bandana Waddle Dee said frantically: "Great King! If the chairs and tables bounce around like that, the food will be destroyed!"

"That's fine! The Dedede Café will be the first ever super exciting café where you can enjoy deluxe food and dangerous thrills at the same time! It's wonderful! Our reputation will spread throughout the galaxy!"

King Dedede turned over and laughed out loud.

"Uh… Ummmm…" Bandana Waddle Dee was troubled.

King Dedede smiled and said: "The most important thing in a café is, of course, the food. If the food is bad, it doesn’t matter if the sign, chairs and tables are perfect. The café will be ruined anyways."

"So true!"

Bandana Dee took out his notepad, ready to finally have some decent café talk.

King Dedede said: "When I think of food, I think of meat! Prepare a meat dish of the finest quality, so good that it will melt your tongue!"

"Meat, yes! What do you think of meatballs and chicken sandwiches?" Bandana Dee said, jotting down the ideas on his notepad.

"Oh, that's good. And the thing I want to focus on the most is the desserts!"

"Yes! Ice cream and cake and…"

"Mmm! Meat ice cream, meat cake!"

"…What?"

Bandana Waddle Dee dropped his pen.

King Dedede licked his lips and said: "It's ice cream and shortcake filled with juicy grilled meat!"

'Oh, ummm… Great King… wouldn’t that taste the same…"

"Ice cream and shortcake are completely different, you idiot!"

"But, I mean, it's dessert. You can’t just..."

"That's okay! I'm a meat lover, you know. I can't get enough of it. And don’t forget about the meat juice and meat soda, of course!”

"Y-y-yeah…"

Bandana Waddle Dee couldn't imagine what that would taste like. Dedede's eyes bugged out and he screamed.

"The thrill of the Dangerous… Café, it makes my heart go crazy! From appetizers to desserts to drinks, it's all meat, meat, meat! A café of meat, for meat! Oh my! It makes me so excited!" Dedede added, waving his fist in the air. "That Whispy Woods café won't stand a chance against our perfect plan. My café will become the most popular in the whole galaxy!"

King Dedede's high-pitched laugh rang out.

~~~

Chef Kawasaki has taken a long-awaited break from his restaurant to visit Whispy Woods. There, Kirby was trying to make chairs and tables, but he was having a difficult time without Bandana Waddle Dee’s help.

"Hey, Kirby, good job."

Kirby looked up when Chef Kawasaki called out to him.

"Hi, Chef Kawasaki."

"I've brought you something, as a ‘thank you’ for your hard work everyday."

"Brought something...?"

"It's my new pizza, and I’m considering putting it on the menu at the café…"

Chef Kawasaki presented a pizza with colorful fruit toppings. Kirby threw aside the chair he was working on and shouted: "Whoa, that looks so good! I'll have some…!

"Wait."

Before Kirby could open his mouth to inhale the pizza, Chef Kawasaki quickly withdrew it.

"Why…? Can't I just eat it?"

"It's just that, as I said before, I don't want you to eat the whole thing. I just want you to take your time and savor each bite."

Chef Kawasaki handed Kirby a fork and knife.

"I don't want to do this. Just let me eat it now!"

"No, no, no. I want you to taste it and tell me what you think. I'm thinking of making pizza the centerpiece of this café."

"Huh? Is the menu gonna be pizza?"

"No, no, I mean I want it to be the most popular menu item. We're going to build a big stone oven here, so we can make the best stone-baked pizzas with a crispy crust!"

"Stone pizza? Pizza with stone? That sounds weird..."

"It's not like that at all… Well, you should try it anyway!"

Kirby took a bite of the pizza and squealed.

"Mmmmmm…!"

His eyes were glazed over, his whole body was twitching, and he looked like he was about to roll over.

"It’s...  It’s... It’s... It’s amazing! So good, so good!"

Unfortunately, Kirby was too absorbed in eating the pizza to say more, so Chef Kawasaki took it over.

"I topped the pizza with fruits and served it with custard cream to make it both refreshing and sweet at the same time. I was also particular about the appearance of the fruit, so I cut it in different ways…"

"Thanks for the food! I want another one!"

Kirby had devoured it all in a matter of minutes. He looked like he was almost about to swallow the plate. Chef Kawasaki looked satisfied.

"Did you like it?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I want more, Kawasaki!"

"We'll continue tomorrow. I've got lots of ideas for pizza for you to try out. Tomorrow, I'm going to make a pizza with seafood…"

Just then, something fluffy flew through the air. It was Bronto Burt. He flew over Kirby's head and said: "Yo, Kirby, Chef Kawasaki, do you hear me?

"You know we're busy with the café, right?"

"I got some more info on Dedede's Café. He's recruited every resident he could find, so he's got a whole staff now."

"What? A staff…"

"I was just out of town, so that helped. But Burning Leo, Chilly, and most of the other residents were all turned into staff."

"What?"

"Moreover, the café that Dedede is planning to build is a mess. The design of it is amazing, but the menu is just terrible. It's got meat cakes and meat juice! It's crazy."

"Meat… cake? Juice…?"

Chef Kawasaki was horrified at the thought.

"That's just awful! I don't know what they're thinking. How do they expect customers to come to a café like that…?"

However, a sudden voice interrupted Chef Kawasaki's words.

"...Sounds tasty."

"...What?"

It was Kirby, who grumbled: "Meat cake… Meat juice… Meat… that sounds so good…!"

"K-Kirby!"

"I wanna try some of that! Meat cake, meat juice! Please make that, Chef Kawasaki!"

Kirby was so excited that he almost grabbed Kawasaki's hand.

"Oh, calm down, Kirby…"

"We can't keep going like this!" Kirby said with a serious face. "We'll have to come up with a new menu too! Or we'll lose to Dedede's café!"

"I've been thinking of all kinds of new menu items, like fruit salad, omelets and soups, as well as stone-baked pizza…"

"That's not good enough." Kirby looked up at the sky. "We have to come up with a menu that's just as awesome as meat cakes and meat juice!"

"...I think I can beat those by a long shot…"

"I don't wanna be defeated by King Dedede," said Kirby forcefully. "So I'm gonna come up with a new, wonderfully tasty menu that will blow everyone's mind!"

"Oh… Kirby… I'll handle the cooking part… you just need to make the chairs and tables…"

Chef Kawasaki knew all about Kirby's lack of cooking sense. But Kirby was very motivated.

"It's fine. I'm confident in my cooking!"

"Kirby…"

"I've got a great idea for a dessert. I'm gonna marinate Whispy Woods' fruit in miso and mix them with custard cream, then top it with kabayaki and lots of strawberry jam…"

"No, don't do that, Kirby…"

Chef Kawasaki almost fell over.

Bronto Burt laughed and said: "That recipe sounds like a waste of fruit! Right, Whispy Woods?"

But there was no reply.

"...Hmm?"

Bronto Burt and Chef Kawasaki looked up at the tree. Whispy Woods had closed his eyes tightly. He had a pained expression on his face.

"Whispy Woods? Is something wrong?"

"Hm… mmm..."

Whispy Woods opened his eyes. He was trying to smile, but his eyes were glazed over. His voice lacked energy.

Chef Kawasaki said with concern: "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm fine. Just a little sleepy."

"Oh, well… that's good…" Chef Kawasaki looked up at Whispy Woods. "Good luck with that. The success of this café depends on the deliciousness of your fruit!"

"Oh… I'll take care of that."

Whispy Woods may have said that, but his voice and expression were still a little tired.

[aforgottenlordandknights]

"Everything shall be consumed... Or something like that."

I made a Kirby blog bc I was inspired by a friend lmao

Meet the cast below!

The Forgotten Lord

Fecto Elfilis (or just Elfilis)

An invasive alien species from a different dimension than the one they were found in. Now being kept under the watchful eye of several gods - I mean Kirby and Meta Knight - they now sit around being edgy. Though they are plotting to fuse with Elfilin once more because they can't help their destructive tendencies.

The Knights of the Round 'n squishy Table

These fellas decided for this one time (aka being on this blog lol) to form an order of powerful knights, who helped whoever they deem worthy of help or fighting whoever they deem worthy of fighting.

Meta Knight

The Mysterious Lord Swordsman of Planet Popstar, who happens to show up wherever Kirby is. Epic duels constantly ensue when he's present, and makes for a fearsome foe or a fantastic ally, depending on who's side he's on. Helps Kirby keep Elfilis in check.

Galacta Knight

He heard that Morpho Knight was trying to kill him off so he came back out of pure spite and sheer will Galacta Knight is an ancient warrior that once fought for justice, but due to his growing, awesome, power, he was sealed away by Nova. But due to that power, he can never be truly destroyed. So now he floats about finding a person worthy of battling him (Kirby), ending up in the Forgotten Land with the others.

Morpho Knight

The spiteful ex Morpho knight is the butterfly of paradise, taking form whenever something that has ceased to be is found worthy of being their vessel. They appeared in the Forgotten Land, and after that gruesome colosseum fight, is now chilling in Waddle Dee Town alongside everyone else. Drinks your Pepsi and calls you a bit-

Floryn

A Star Warrior from a realm of constant battling thattotallyisntthekirbsonathatidecidedtorepurposebccringe, she traveled across dimensions once more when she heard that the pink puffball friend she made might be in mortal danger. After arriving and realizing that everything was taken care of, she made the choice to stay awhile, as traveling dimensions without an interstellar spaceship can wear a person down. Takes pride in the fact that she's the only warrior among the four that uses a staff rather than a sword.

Guest Appearances lol

Kirby

Of course, this isn't a Kirby blog without the boi himself, Keeby -uh - Kirby! The adorable pink ball of pure happiness, he is the only peacekeeper here other than Elfilin, considering everyone else here is literally a brawler lmao. Canonically will kill you with a hug

Elfilin

Often called by the others the younger sibling of Elfilis, Elfilin (who doesn't mind being called Elfy!) is the other half of Elfilis that is the kind and caring side of the planet destroying genocidal maniac. He's often indulging himself with the treats in the cafe and generally hanging out with Kirby because they're friends! Do not ask him to join forces with his elder sibling, he will start crying.

[knightedgem]

Have you ever gone to the Kirby Cafe alone? You can sit with your own Cafe Dee plush!

[panickypeachboy]

“......i-is...is anyone going to eat dinner...?”

“...”

“...D-Donmai...Wadee will have, l-leff over...”

The mansion may have its own cooking staff (that doubled as a cafe staff for cooking for the public), but what’s served at dinner may not always be consumed by the fighters and assists. Anyone can cook for themselves if they like...or eat out, order delivery, and whatever.

..So the remainder of the prepared grub goes to the Waddle Dees who are more than capable of eating what’s not consumed. It’s a portion of their payment for working at the mansion.

...Of course, they can feed any remaining food to Yoshis and Kirbies too...or anyone who asks.

[panickypeachboy]

[The following includes being a jerk to folks in the food industry. Please respect folks who handle your food, mail, and other essentials.]

There was a higher amount of battles going on these days...which meant more characters making way to the stadium to watch. ..and that also meant, more folks buying refreshments and meals.

It seemed to be a bustling evening at the Smash Cafe...until a Waddle Dee scampers into the kitchen. There was tears in their eyes as they squeaked worriedly, which certainly held the attention of the staff.

Grumblings could be heard from the dining area. Most of the Waddle Dees squeaked nervously. But the humanoid of the kitchen looks to the entry way.

...Seems like a order was incorrect...so he must make amends. As the humanoid walked out into the open, the Waddle Dees observed with bated breaths. They could never get used to these frequent complaints.

The source of the belligerent voice looks to the peach boy: a mushroomed cap, run of the mill, fanatic Toad. ...But their personality wasn’t as nice as most Toads,

“Oh, I thought it was just Waddle Dees and Toads back there. Seems like we have the true culprit of the meal.”

Momotaro looks on with confusion, “Wh-What? I...I just want t-to apolo-”

“Zip it, chef,” the Toad scoffs, “You’ve already given me a bad impression with that dish and now that stutter! Gosh. Should you even be in the kitchen? You don’t look Nintendo to me! You’re just some anime swords man!”

Ah...this comment...Momotaro has heard it before, in a variety of ways. He bows deeply to the Toad, “I-I was saying s-sorry, for, for that meal....w-will, make it, aga-”

“You ain’t gonna waste any more of my time with your crud! Get me a refund or someone else to cook the Pikachu burger!” the Toad barks back.

The peach boy paused, then stands up.

“Wakata...but, but please, ‘pologize to Wadee...”

That’s all he wanted. And the Toad shrugs,

“Yeah I should apologize, they didn’t do anythin’ wrong. You, on the other hand, just get back to whatever nobodies do. Chop chop, I ain’t got all evenin’!”

Momotaro nods, and paces back to the kitchen. Waddle Dees looked worried but a few managed to scramble up a new Pikachu burger and other orders. The individual that was crying earlier seemed to have calmed down. Momotaro looks at that with some relief, but mostly a deadpan expression.

“...all good. Just w-want, new baga, please.”

“Wanya!”

And the Dees resumed their business. Meals were delivered, and the Toad was satisfied...presumably.

It was just another day.

[kindakirby]
