no one knows that i actually really love these two panels because in them im trying to contrast the deep, mortal, exhausted madness a of haunted, cursed man against the careless musings of a being that has known and become one with the void that man has torn himself and the world apart to escape.

this is my morphogala. Galacta raving with borderline lovecraftian madness and Morpho - the lovecraftian knowledge librarian - going "ive been saying this lol".

I feel like I haven’t made a post about Kirby in 12,000 years, anyone wanna read this powerpoint I made about Galacta Knight?

Everything About Galacta Knight Ever - Explanation and Analysis of All His Appearances

For context I made it for friend’s on Halloween, hence the framing device of explaining my costume. It’s also a sequel to one I made the year earlier about Kuja FF9.

IM SO FUCKED UP BECAUSE I NEED TO EXPRESS HOW GALACTA KNIGHT A BUNCH OF NIN SONG ARE BUT I CAN ONLY DO THAT WITH SICK ASS ART THATS OUTSIDE OF MYBFUCKING SKILL LEVEL!!!! YOU GET IT, YOU GET IT YOUBGET IT IM BEAMING MY VISION INTO YOUR BRAIN

[fruitsofhell]

His OG name in SKC is something like "Knight Who Circles The Void/Origin". I think as in the knight from Another Dimension/the Void, the way Astral Void was said to be in "the Origin".

What's your rating on that one I think it's raw as hell.

Rating Galacta knight’s nicknames:

The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy: i don’t think this is true anymore. sounds cool anyway 7/10

aeon hero: this is cool as shit hell yeah 9/10

Gk: simple, succinct, perfect if you don’t want to use their full name all the time. 8/10

ancient hero: intriguing…but vague. 6/10

legendary swordsman: a lance is not a sword. what are you talking about. 2/10

gala: YEAHHHHHHH 🔥🔥 100000000000/10

Galacta Knight Day!! Yaaayy yipee wahoo!!! Have more doodles of him as is tradition.

I've also been drawing him as a kid a lot lately cause im working on a big fat headcanon backstory for him. (Drawings under cut).

He was a little menace who lived in the woods and hunted monsters before he became a solider and knight. The other lil guy is his childhood bestie and gf for some time.

On this non-specifc day of April the 1st, I’d like to declare that I do not like Galacta Knight, he is my least favorite Kirby character. Image illustrating what I’ve been doing for the past 3 weeks is unrelated.

[fruitsofhell]

Wanted to share one of my favorite bits of headcanon worldbuilding for Galacta Knight, and combine it with the fact that he gave himself that title and then also started using it as a personal name. Like he just named himself Sir Galaxy and was like “I’m also Mr. Galaxy too. Call me the Galaxy.” He’s just silly like that, Mr. Worldwide.

OMG I really need to make like an organized info-dump/lore Bible about my Galacta Knight, not even for his own sake at this point, because I wanna contextualize some of my AU versions of him who are just getting increasingly deranged in the best possible way.

Like my headcanon for him is that he was an ancient general with 10 million mental problems which led him to killing a lot of people for a complicated web of emotional and political reasons. And then I ran with that for a historical au where he's a really messed up revolutionary, and now I have one where he's on some insane traumatized punk kid to miserable banker to convicted murderer pipeline. And there are emotional and thematic throughlines in all of these I swear. I love him your honor.

I did in fact forget Galacta's birthday was on the 22nd, but I don't think my brain did cause I was literally up till 4am thinking about him for no real reason that night/morning lol

HELP IVE BEEN REBLOGGING AND TALKING ABOUT CHARACTER BRACKETS ALL DAY BUT THAT LAST ONE IS SERIOUS! I WILL WRITE AN ESSAY ON HOW INTERESTING OF A TIME-TRAVELLING CHARACTER GALACTA IS IF HE STARTS LOSING!!!

[fruitsofhell]

Ok, I beat the thing and I have thoughts now

I WISH IT WAS LONGER!!! Magolor Epilogue was a very fun little thing, and I liked the way that the handicaps and different moveset changed how the game felt. It felt shorter than like Heroes in Another Dimension to me... or maybe that’s just because it was easier. I guess that’s the other thing, I want Kirby games to have those really really hard modes and bosses again.

The nice thing is that I havent beaten the arena yet cause the new Magolor Soul shit was busting my balls fr. But thats now another problem I have which is that MAN IS THAT TRUE ARENA BLOATED NOW. I was hoping they would pull a Star Allies and just have a second True Arena, and I really wish they did that now cause that shit’s kinda gruelling and not in the best way. One of my favorite True Arena’s in te series is the KSSU one because it is short but can be very difficult with how limited your options are in that game. It’s 10 bosses with a final four but still gives me problems. This like 20 something long boss one with a final 6 is a bit much, its a bit draining imo.

But at the same time I might just be drained cause of all the lore stuff. I was hoping for more and what I got was... not NOT what I wanted but hdsjgdsf its a bit. This is Spoiler Spoilers now.

1) Magolor not being native to Halcandra stings for medjsfgshfjsd. I’m going to sue the fantranslaters who called Egg Engine’s theme “Steel Hometown” when its now “Birthplace of Steel” cause that gave me a lot of false understanding. And it’s less that thats something I have to change about his character headcanon now, I can manage since he still was on there for a while, but it sucks for the worldbuilding stuff I was trying to do. He was my base for the ancients as I thought he was their ancestors.

 I READ AN ENTIRE BOOK ON MATERIAL CULTURE to design him thinking that he was native to halcandraadsgjhfgsd. It’s just a bit to swallow, especially cause it now means I just have like 0 bases for what the ancients were like at all. And I mean I staked a lot of headcanon on him and his species being native to Halcandra its a bit worrying.

HOWEVER, I have cope-- I mean hope. He is still very clearly related to Hyness and his species. And I have no reason to believe that Hyness isnt related to the magic ancients, which means theres still a good chance that his species were once part of the Halcandran ancients. Thats my mental gymnastics on it.

2) I wanted to know how Halcandra fell :((. I feel like something related to that stupid fucking crown tree’s arena is a clue, or atleast a good idea of what its final days were like, but I was hoping for something more explicit. I’m happy my idea that the Master Crown was a literaly crown once worn by kings and queens is true atleast.

And while we’re on info I wanted that wasnt there GALACTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I WAS SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR HIM TO BECOME CANONDHGJFSKHGFDSKJ. It feels genuinely dumb to me he couldnt have gotten a spot in the epilogue, like he still just got thrown last minute into the arena, they could have done SOMETHING. And at the same time, I want to know where they hell that stupid bird is from! Is he not from Halcandra? this would have been the perfect opportunity to confirm that but his description gives nothing new, except that his crystal is gem? Like related to the apples ig. That is something to chew on.

I think a positive I can spin out of that though is that if this fucking game doesnt want to give me more on ancient Halcandra and Galacta god knows if anything will, which means I’m still free to headcanon away lol. I’ll give Galacta Knight the love Kumazaki doesn’t want to give him uwu.

3) That ending showing that after the Epilogue Mago went straight to the world of Clash is just......... hmmm... no... No thank youiodsfkjsd. I do not like thinking about the world of Kirby clash as an actual part of the Kirby multiverse, it’s annoying. I’ve always contextualized it as simply being like an AU, not as another dimension that characters can visit. It just stinks to me, and I’ve already talked about how much I hate the multiverse thing anyways. This is one of those things where I am very happy to step away from canon until it shows me something that makes the idea worth it to me personally.

And it’s also weird cause like?? So when did he come back to Popstar and build that amusement park? I was hoping that “different time and place” thing for the introduction of Magoland was to say it was post-story, but like I guess not? Or maybe I’ll see once I beat the True Arena. The idea that CANONICALLY he went to the clash universe instead of coming back to Popstar is actually sending me up the damn wallskhfdsjhfkds

4) I am either incredibly blind and stupid or like soo many pause screens got redone like Metal General’s and the Lor’s. I really really enjoyed those, I like learning more about silly side things in this world, especially those related to the ancient artifacts, I think theyre fun and I like creatures/machines that have been abandoned. I’m also happy to see Metal General and Landia in the Magoland plaza, but I have like a small thing about that.

So being that Magolor isnt native to the planet and describes it effectively as inhospitable, I’m... not sure if the idea is that there is any life there besides landia? There are creatures native to the planet that look living to me, but I’m worried the idea is that they arent and Halcandra is an effectively dead planet. And specifically that the idea of Landia and Metal General coming to play is that theyre abandoning the planet too. With how the ending works with the Lor and dragons going home I don’t think thats the canonical idea, and that them being in the plaza is just a fun easter egg, but oh well.

I’m trying to scope out like narrative intention. Like obvioulsy with the Forgotten Land the idea is that the land should be reclaimed by the animals and new dees who are seeing it with new, innocent eyes. And I made a comparison that I thought the idea was that while the Forgotten Land was abandoned and gets to be seen with fresh new eyes, Halcandra is still a source of retrospection and greed for those living there and elsewhere. The elsewhere is still true, every other kirby villian stole something of the ancients, but now i feel weird about the those living there thing. I just like Halcandra and I want it to be explored as a source of history with the same depth the Forgotten Land was. ... Ok that’s enough whining about lore. Loved this remake overall, but I’m probably going to revisit the original more often because it’s a more condensed package and I very personally have beef with some of the new implications it added. I’ll probably get over them, but I’ll also never forgive them for not making Galacta canonhsdfsdfdskjfs, like that was his last chance I think it’s over for the Galacta Girls out there.

It’s funny cause I feel the exact opposite about KSSU, which is a remake that came out before this game that got remade. And it’s over the same character I’m passing so much judgement on how I feel. KSSU is made better by Galacta Knight, and by that I mean he and all the extra content that came with him is very enriching to the game experience. RTDL DX, by ratio of stuff added, has less Galacta Knight in it, so it is inferior to its predecessor.

And also I like the wii graphics. I appreciate how shiny RTDL DX is and the new stuff looks A-MAZING, but this game’s aesthetic was built for the wii definitely. I dont mind the outline thing at all really, but I feel the game can be too bright at times, and I think the OG had a groundedness to its colors and lighting that balanced with the fantastical set pieces. And the set pieces do have a bit more realism to them than a lot of other Kirby games, so I guess that’s what helps too. All I know is that I’m gonna be replaying RTDL wii asap.

I admit I will majorly miss all the new character Magolor was given, always loved him but some of the silly lines they gave him in this game are fucking hysterical. That deceitful egg.

Hi, I've been mild media blackout since RTDL DX came out to avoid spoilers. I just finished EX mode and just gotta say, BOY DO I LOVE HAVING TO REWRITE HEADCANON ^_^
