Happy Father's Day to Max Haltmann

Planet Robobot is still my favorite Kirby game to this, with Susie and Haltmann being part of the reason why. Their backstory has driven me absolutely insane.

Not to completely leave out the other dads in the series... Happy Father's Day to Hyness as well, and I guess King Dedede for those that interpret him being a dad-like figure to the waddle dees.

But yeah this is mostly dedicated to Haltmann.

Later today, I might drop more information on my "Memories Still At A Halt" AU.

Puffe's new ref is DONEEE! Can't believe it tbh... I remember all the wips I posted before when i was still trying to figure out what to change...!

Just a lil info on her below the cut-

🔸Puffe joined Haltmann Works Company after the events of Robobot, simply looking for a job, and hopefully travel the galaxy in search of that spark to just... exist, something to strive for.

She's pretty serious, a bit of a jerk, all stemming from loneliness. She doesn't have much experience interacting with others so she may say something awkward or not know when to keep an opinion to herself.

Get to know her though and she's quite the odd yet caring friend, she will pull out the business suit to protect you! She really just needs more friends.

🔸Her job is simply Intergalactic Space-Delivery... exactly like Futurama, but her ship is absolutely massive. As part of Haltmann Works Co.'s new ambitious changes, Puffe is one of many to export and import goods from planet to planet. Say a planet has too much snow? Haltmann Works Co. will come scoop it all up! And take it to a planet that needs it!

🔸Puffe has 2-3 robot buddies accompanying her on her galactic travels. She'd only later meet Halaro after delivering a package to Castle Dedede- where he had to sign for it.

They didn't get along at first- it was only later when he ended up on her ship that Susie decided to pair them up- seeing an opportunity for Puffe to make a friend.

It would be this very decision that starts Halaro and Puffe on a wild goose chase for ancient artifacts, after the Mirror shard Halaro was carrying sends the ships radar crazy, picking up all sorts of signals!

"NOW SPELL ANSWER."

The song started playing in my playlist and it gave me a sudden motivation burst, and although I had promised myself I would not do a rendered drawing of Star Dream Susie ever again, there I am. But I had fun with it so I suppose it's fine HAHA

Star Dream Susie my beloved and beloathed.

As much as I have Taranza and Susie being best friends, I don't have them mourning their losses the same way. In fact, in my interpretation, they handle grief differently despite their friendship.

While Taranza is more straightforward about mourning Sectonia, how Susie handles her father's death is a lot more complicated.

Susie does take Haltmann's death hard early on, but in general she doesn't outwardly grieve as much as Taranza does. She doesn't open up to as many people as he does, and keeps it to herself more by comparison. She also has an easier time letting go and accepting her loss than he does.

There's something to be said about how Taranza literally grew up with Joronia/Sectonia, and had her in his life up until she was warped by the mirror he gave her. I headcanon that they were childhood friends, and they were close up until the mirror accident. Taranza knows exactly what led to Sectonia's spiral, he understands that she was warped beyond her control, and that it was a grave mistake on his behalf for accidentally corrupting her with that mirror.

On the other hand, Susie really only truly had her dad when she was a child. She was separated from him for a long time after the Another Dimension accident, and then she comes back to what's effectively a shell of her dad's former self as he forgot about her by that point. She doesn't know how he became that way, because she wasn't there to witness how Star Dream erased his memories of her.

She has no idea that he was trying to make Star Dream get her back. For all she knows, he could've just willingly moved on from her, and that's enough to make her wonder if it was intentional for him to forget about her. And it's led to her resenting him.

Susie has very complicated feelings about her dad in my headcanons. The thing is, she does care about him, but she also really resents him because she was offended by him forgetting about her, and she feels a strong sense of disillusionment with him in general. She certainly doesn't love him as much as Taranza loves Sectonia, and honestly I don't blame her. I think it's understandable, considering everything that happened between her and Haltmann.

This isn't to say she doesn't mourn Haltmann at all. She absolutely does mourn him, especially early on. As much as she resents him, she really did want him back, and she really wanted to find out what led to his memories being erased. That's why she aggressively stole Star Dream's controller from him in an effort to force him to answer about what happened. She really didn't mean to get him killed, and it did in fact mess her up that she accidentally caused his death.

Kirby introduced Taranza and Susie to each other shortly after Planet Robobot when Susie was struggling with Haltmann's death. And quite frankly, that was the perfect timing for them to bond. That was a clever move on Kirby's behalf. He noticed many similarities between Taranza and Susie, and thought they could be friends because of that. He succeeded at making it happen, especially with the timing of when he did it.

Susie moves on from Haltmann's death quicker than Taranza moves on from Sectonia's death. But despite that, Susie still keeps Taranza around as one of her closest friends after how nice he's been to her. He's a big reason why she's been able to let go of her dad.

I have Susie and Francisca bonding over daddy issues, considering how I recently wrote about how I imagine Francisca (as well as Flamberge) having complicated feelings about Hyness after what happened during Star Allies. I also have Taranza and Zan Partizanne forming a close friendship because they overlap quite a bit in terms of how they feel about Sectonia and Hyness respectively.

Despite this, however, Taranza and Susie stay as each other's closest friends because of the timing that Kirby introduced them to each other. Although Zan is Taranza's second closest friend, and Francisca is Susie's second closest friend.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk on me exploring parallels that I envision between all these characters.
