Screaming, Crying, Infodumping

Everyone in the rpc has different interpretations of the four Knights (Meta, Dark Meta, Galacta, Morpho) And I really have way too much time and not enough things to do with it so I wanna drop off the versions of these guys besides Galacta my brainspace has created.

This isn't meant to invalidate anyone else's characters, headcanons, or threads. It is just a neat little thing I thought of.

Anyways, here are some lads. Long, because I can't shut up:

~~~

Meta Knight: He/Him male Puffball with a dark blue body, purple feet, silver-gray irises with poor eyesight, and webbed wings modeled after a vampire bat. Almost always seen wearing a silver mask with a V-shaped visor, half because it helps him see properly and half because he needs it for the intimidation factor.

Created by Nightmare himself with the intention of being a bootleg of the Strongest Warrior in the Galaxy (who had been sealed for some years at this point) The Wizard found that the actual infant Puffball was too much to handle and so dumped him in an uninhabited planet hoping he would perish there. Unfortunately for Nightmare, a nomadic, planet-hopping tribe happened to be around and rescued the child. They nicknamed him "Meta" (Meaning Lucky, or referring to the color Silver in their language) and trained him to be a swordsman of honor. Meta would soon leave the tribe to join the GSA and fight Nightmare, invaded Popstar with the Battleship Halberd after their collapse, and the rest is history.

Meta Knight is quiet and seemingly reserved, a stark contrast to the boisterous personalities of Kirby and Dedede. Many years of travel, study, and interacting with a wide array of different people and cultures have developed a Puffball with a surprising range of knowledge from scholarly intuition and language to more practical trades involving mechanics and medicine. He's pretty handy to have around! Despite him wanting you to believe otherwise, though, Meta Knight isn't perfect. He has a tendency to be prideful and vain, and absolutely sucks at communicating basic needs and dire emergencies.

Interesting Thing: Meta is merely a nickname. He went unnamed by Nightmare and by the tribe and is effectively nameless. He would only accept a proper name from someone he cares for deeply.

Dark Meta Knight: He/Him male Puffball with a grayish-black body, red feet, silvery-white irises with failing vision, and tattered webbed wings modeled after a spectral bat. Has a distinct scar over right eye. He is the Mirror World Reflection of Meta Knight.

Mere moments after his birth, the Mirror Reflection of Meta Knight was turned over to the side of Dark Mind and forever warped into a dark version of Popstar's honorable swordsman. While he was effectively under Dark Mind's influence with the rest of the Mirror World, his actions during Amazing Mirror were all of his own volition and free will. Dark Meta Knight was more than happy to attack the real Meta Knight and imitate his likeness as well as go after his protegee in the name of his master, and would ultimately die for Dark Mind.

However, many years after the events of Amazing Mirror, an unknown force revives Dark Meta Knight and allows him to call the Mirror World his home so long as he keeps it safe from threats such as Dark Mind. Dark Meta Knight is seemingly forgiven and given his second chance. And after a brief skirmish searching for Jamba Hearts outside of the Mirror (and with Kirby no less) Dark Meta Knight takes up a position keeping guard over the Dimensional Mirror that looms over Dreamland, barring anyone he deems unworthy entry to the Mirror World.

Though he has been revived and absolved of his treachery, Dark Meta Knight isn't a completely good person after. He is blunt, has minimal patience and can be considerably rude when he wants to be. Those who live outside of the Mirror World Dark Meta Knight can barely tolerate, however Mirror Worlders get more sympathy and patience from the Dark Knight. Shadow Kirby is the only person thus far to see a rare caring and loving side to Dark Meta Knight, who has taken the young puff as his apprentice and adoptive son.

Interesting Thing: Though he is now free from the influence of Dark Mind, Dark Meta Knight still feels a hint of loyalty towards the tyrant. With the new life he has for himself, however, Dark Meta may not be so quick to rejoin his former master if he too is revived. Similar to Meta Knight, Dark Meta Knight also doesn't have a proper name. He is also plagued by Meta Knight's memories and his status as a mere copy can weigh on his mind sometimes.

Morpho Knight: She/They genderless ???Puffball??? with a vanta black body, yellow-orange feet, white eyes, and wings modeled after a ???Butterfly of Paradise??? ???Sunset Morpho???

A being of judgement, said to be the force that will one day destroy the universe when life becomes extinct, ushering in a new day using the ashes of the old universe. That ultimate purpose is long into the future yet. And in the present Morpho Knight concerns themself with the matter of judgement and guiding departed souls into their afterlife.

They are particularly attracted to the souls of beings who are well-battled, have lived long past their expected expiration date, and have been pushed to the brink of despair. When an ancient warrior tortured with the pains of a life lived too long finds an ember-like butterfly perched on their person, they know that rest is finally upon them.

Morpho Knight will take control of the body, reforming it into their visage and give the aged warrior one final glorious hurrah in battle before they are taken to Hades and given peace. While being overtaken by Morpho may seem like the end, the "Final Battle" is a delicate process that can be disrupted should Morpho Knight be defeated, giving the warrior a chance to escape and reform. Morpho Knight can take hold of any body in theory, but cannot take anyone who isn't done living to Hades.

Outwardly, Morpho Knight is stone stoic and beyond emotions. Seems reasonable, given the task assigned to them by the universe. They do not have a physical mouth to speak from, and instead will rarely use telepathy to communicate intentions and guidance, but never opinions or desires of their own. Though Morpho Knight seems emotionless and almighty, there is an undeniable warmth to their mission and gentle tone of voice when they do speak.

Ultimate destroyer of the universe they may be. However, cruelty is not a trait you can find in Morpho Knight.

Interesting Fact: Galacta Knight, do you hear me? Aeon Hero, can you see me? Temporal Warrior, you can feel me. Cygni, Son of Ankaa and Phakt, Brother of Corvi. Husband of Alnair, Father of Deneb, Grandfather of ??? ??? ???, you know who I am. Weary Warrior, who has felt great despair in this life, and lives yet. Call my name when you are ready to come home, and I shall come and lead you into life everlasting, and be one with the stars.

Party Consequences...Aftermath of Another Gabriel Party.

Part 2: “Unneeded Stress and Make-out Sesh”

Warning: Some intense lip action...both talking wise and other, brotherly fighting and jumpscares~ 18+ <3

LuciferxFemReader

You stop in your tracks outside the door, you raise your swimsuit to your face, and roll your eyes. Bathroom, you need to change in the bathroom. You turn back to the door. Although you were no longer dizzy, your whole body still thinks it is way too early to be up. You turn the handle and open the door.

Lucifer is standing in front of the door. Arms at his sides with a smug smile. You jump and turn away from him, pressing your forehead head against the open door repeatedly, cursing under your breath.

He lets out a sweet sighing laugh and leans his shoulder against the door, and starts playing with your hair.

“You are so cute in those few seconds of terror.” You turn to face him, and he stops playing with your hair and instead fumbles around with the collar of your shirt, focused on this action. “Just like a little deer in headlights ...oh, I could just hunt ya for sport and place you on my mantle!”

You steadily put your hands over his, rubbing your fingers across his knuckles. He looks up at you, the swimsuit in your hand presses against his chest as he leaned in closer to you.

You tell him that makes you uncomfortable you don’t want him to keep scaring you just because he finds it “cute.”

He stares down at you and drops his smile, glancing down your body next at your eyes, his eyebrows chewing on the inside of his cheek. He gives you a lingering wink as he slides his hands to the sides of your shoulders and squeezes you gingerly.

“Yeah, bad word choice. Bad joking. Wish I had a autocorrect sometimes! Ha, I’ll tone it down and think about what I say before I say it. But, I can’t help it if I’m astonishing, that's part of the packaged Lucifer deal...” The lines under his eyes move up as he squints his eyes in a smile.

Your eyes flicker for a second at Gabriel who you caught flipping off the back of Lucifer’s head as he walked to the other side of the room. Still in a speedo.

You crack a smile, and Lucifer raises an eyebrow but he shakes it off. “But I’m glad you came back, I thought you had a sensory overload and decided to leave without me...” His voice is pleasant to your ears.

You tell him that you are going to get changed for the pool and that he should join you. You wait for him to let you go. But he remains looking down at you with a smug look. He takes a quick look at the bathing suit in your hands. It was a black one-piece, but one side had a hole that was mean to expose the side of your midsection. He slides a hand off your shoulder and pinches the swimsuit with his fingers, getting a better look at it, gently tugging at it.“Mind if I see?” You could tell this wasn’t really a question

You let go reluctantly and watch as he takes his other hand off your shoulder and holds the swimsuit up to his face as he turns, his side facing you.

“Ok, tasteful but kinda restrictive, right? I mean, if my brother wasn’t here, I would say lets Adam and Eve it….” He focuses his eyes on you, looking for your reaction and smiling as your start blushing.

You tell him to "cool it hot stuff".

“Of course, good point, I’m a way sexier Adam and Eve have nothing on you and this is a villa instead of a bountiful garden...but hey! We can still pull it off." He twirls the swimsuit in his hand. "I know I'd love to tempt you into more than just eating a piece of the forbidden fruit".

Gabriel lets out a groan and you blush and look behind Lucifer's shoulder. Gabriel turns on the TV and turns up the volume. His arm relaxed on the back of the couch as he flips through channels with purpose. Lucifer clears his throat, your attention is pulled back to him and you blush even harder.

"As I was saying, love the black and the peek-a-boo, look what I have hole...” He looks at the hole and turns back to you, presses the suit against his chest, shimmying his shoulders as he rocked up onto the toes of his shoes.

“So, come on, as you said, let's get changed!” He finger-guns you then places a hand against your back.

“What?!” Your face grows hot as he takes a hand and pushes you towards the bathroom door. You told him you did not mean for him to join you in the bathroom. “Nonsense. Bathroom buddy!” his voice in high spirits.

"I have to powder my nose too, so might as well hang girlfriiiiend."

You glance over at Gabriel, then around the room as your hook your hands on the wall, preventing him from pulling you in as you can't help but awkwardly laugh, feeling bad for Gabriel. You hear the bathroom door open behind you and feel Lucifer's chest against your back as he wraps his arms around your waist trying to pull you into the bathroom. You tell him to hold up, stuttering as you pull against him. You notice that two people are gone and you feel butterflies in your stomach as you expect the worst.

You ask Gabriel where Baraquel and Lamech with a forced calm quiver of your voice. Lucifer lets out a soft, "Forget about them... let's get naked." Which you try your best not to react to.

Gabriel doesn't look at you, his face stern. Well, he's obviously mad at something Lucifer must have said to him. Great.

You watch as he swats the air in your direction, “Don’t worry your little Luci didn’t murder them…” Lucifer’s hands stopped pulling at you as he looks around the corner at Gabriel.

“Don’t like how you assume I’d be the one to snap Gabriel…Ive been very good in not doing that, as of late if you haven’t noticed!” Lucifer retaliated, in a childish tone.

Gabriel grunts back and doesn’t acknowledge his brother's comment with words. You feel Lucifer lean down to your ear “He’s just jelly about you and me." He uses his hands to point to you and him and nods his head. "Stable relationship and all …” he whispers snootily and soon after straightens up and continues to hug you against his chest.

Gabriel turned the channel. “I sent them out to get some food.” He points to you, turning his head to look at you, and only you. He gives you a big forced smile as you feel the anger behind that was aimed towards his brother.

You're the only one that needs to eat around here so, I Being considerate about your basic human necessities..."

He glances up at his brother with a frown. "...sent Baraquel to wait outside an IHOP until it opens. While Lucifer here sent Lamech off with a mystery shopping list!" He taps his fingers against the back of the couch. "Of probably little to no use or value, to you." He says saucily and turns back to the TV playing around with the remote. He only does this for a second before pointing towards the Tv as if talking to you. “Not sure when his little demon will be back! Good riddance! Less Hellspawn the better!” He declares with a single irritated laugh.

Lucifer lets go of you and slides to your side, you stop him from going further by placing a hand in front of his torso. He glances down at your hand but is focused on striking back his brother's words.

“F.Y.I, I told them to get stuff for (y/n) my little brother...clothes, one of those drinks I know she likes from (Jamba Juice/Starbucks/ Insert drink place here) so don't make me look like the uncaring guy!" He mirthfully growled, ready to bite back and return the attitude.

"I would actually prefer you would leave all that caring for stuff to me. Gabriel as I can more than handle, the basic eat, drink, sleep care kay?”

“As I keep feeling like I have to remind you, she’s mine.” This hung in the air. Making you feel a mixture of discomfort and pleasure.

“Even last night, when you kept being all up on her..all close and personal. Don’t think I didn’t remember, guess why you were the one who woke up laying flat on your face under the table.” He presses his fingers together and drops his smile.

“Had to take a nighty night after getting socked by brother karma.”

And I’m reaching my tolerating limit so...It would just be SO GREAT! If you'd stop being so snippy about me and my abilities to care for her! Unless you want to...” he tilts his head. “Settle things.”

You tell Lucifer to stop and Gabriel to calm down mentioning that they are making you seem like a (pet/Tamagotchi/sim).

"Your right (Y/N) he is. But thats who your involving yourself with!" Gabriel chides making you feel offended.

Lucifer chuckles through his teeth and clenches his fist towards his brother “Just give me the word babe. I’ll knock him out for good.” He waits for your response eagerly.

You say no as you look at Gabriel’s angry face aimed towards the television.

Lucifer says as he turns to you and gives your temple a quick kiss. “Fine.” His breath sending a chill against spot even though it was warm.

Lucifer presses you against him again. “Bathroom’s off limits~” he sings to his brother as he forces you to walk backward with him into the spacious white bathroom. But didn’t turn on the lights. You hold onto his fingers against your stomach as he slides you into the darkness. Feeling the cold tile against your feet. “Enough of that pathetic jealous bachelor energy…” he jeers.

You tell him that if he keeps arguing with his brother, you might as well leave.

The door, still open, allows you to see a bit of the bathroom layout around you. Lucifer lets go of you and seems to vanish into the darkness of the bathroom.

“Oh, I promise, no more fighting...” his lulling voice echos from an unknown location. Then it's silent.

You hear Lucifer’s voice from the main room, but it was muffled from the television. But Gabriel’s response was loud and clear as they let out a loud sigh and walked towards the bathroom door. You casually sit on the sink and try to avoid his eyes as he continues past the door and exits the room. "Don't mess up the bathroom." He grunts shutting the door hard behind him.

The door starts to creak shut on its own. You shout that he better not try to scare you as you hop off the sink and rush to the door as it shut and locked itself, leaving you in darkness as you fumbled your hands to the doorknob.

You felt like you weren’t the only one in the bathroom anymore.

You close your eyes and feel a cold chill at your side and the tapping of shoes as they get closer behind you, stopping at your side. You call out Lucifer’s name feeling apprehensive, yet you refuse to look behind you. You hear a click sound and look down at the floor, seeing his shoes in a now illuminated bathroom. You trail your eyes up to his body. His other hand clenching and unclenching as he grinned at you, his head leaning back. His finger tapping on the light switch as he gazes down at you running his tongue on his lower lip. “What can I say...I’m dramatic.” he shrugs his shoulders and smiles.

You furrow your eyebrows with an angry grin as he slid his hand down the wall and pushed himself off. Winking at you as he turned away and walked to the middle of the bathroom. “Wow, look at that handsome guy…” He admires himself in the mirror and rubs his jaw, striking a few poses and flexing his arms. He then walks to the sink counter and gestures at you, looking at you through his reflection intensely. You raise an eyebrow and scoff at him. He swivels to face you while mocking your expression, then proceeds to walk up to you and gently presses a hand on your abdomen, guiding you back against the door. “Fine, I’ll come to you then.” His hand press against the door, right at the side of your face.

“Gabriels going to take a dip in the pool while we...undress...so we have some space to...” His voice trails off as he starts stroking your hair.

Your eyes flicker to his lips, all the negative emotions you felt after hearing the brothers fight melted away.

“...Enjoy each other's company.” He leans forward and tilts his head to the side. Pressing his warmed up lips against yours.

You part your lips, and he doesn’t hesitate to slide his tongue into your mouth. You taste the faint bitterness of alcohol on his tongue as he continues to give you the most passionate french kiss you've ever experienced. Your tongue a slave to the whims of his. You taste the faint bitterness of alcohol in his mouth.

His stubble tickles your face. Your eyes are unable to open as your overwhelmed by the sudden display of passion. You feel his finger slide underneath your chin, tilting your head up as he longingly shifts the angle of his kiss. He presses his whole forearm against the door and sandwiches you between him and it.

He slides his hand down the side of your neck, and you stand on your tippy-toes as he pulls away, teasing you. You feel his body press against yours, and his mouth returns back to yours. The muscles of his chest and midsection soft enough so that it almost molded with your body, and it felt so warm against you. His waist, his pelvis, everything fits so perfectly with yours.

He was no Sam in height, but he still towered over you in this position. His arms muscular nonetheless...you felt trapped, and this gave you a buzz. He won't let your lips go. As you tried to break away every now and then, he would follow and make you silent, with a dominant eagerness. You could feel with each movement of his body that he was getting more and more reckless. Something you often had to balance when you two were intimate, for your own sake. You don't want him to have to heal your broken pelvis again...ever since then. You realized the effect you have on him, and how powerful you often forget he is. But you asked for him harder, and he sure gave it to you.

You turn your head and try to look into his eyes. He looks into yours for only a second before he presses his lips behind your left ear, kissing down the side of your neck. Doing whatever he could to trail his lips down the path to your collarbone. You toss your swimsuit near the sink and wrap your arms around his neck, caught in the ecstasy. You ran your fingers across the back of his head, into his hair. You feel his hands slide down your side, and he leans down. One swift movement, he hoists you up by your thighs and presses himself between your legs as he slides you up against the door. It rocks, and the lock clatters as it shifts in creaks as he continues to kiss your neck. Every tickling kiss he gave you sent a chill down your body. It was a warm chill, and the hairs on his face made this even harder to resist. You say his name softly, and this makes him press himself harder onto you, his midsection between your legs.

You let out a soft moan as he opens his mouth and slides the tip of his tongue briefly up your neck. You press your head back against the door, and he pulls back to stare at you, unforgivingly close. “You always taste so good…” he mutters sucking in his lower lip and bites gently onto it, letting slide out slowly. You wrap your legs around his waist, and he glances behind him and back to you with a smile. His blue eyes traveling across your face as he lets out a sigh, “When I’m with you like this...I’m always reminded that I’m completely curve-balling my values. ” The leans his head back and continues to look at you, at your nose, mouth, head. “I sometimes wish I hadn’t fallen in love with you…” he says in an earnest tone. This confuses you and makes you feel...not that great.

You ask him why he would say that.

He takes his hands from under your thighs, and you tighten your legs around him more, but he’s pressing you up against the door, and so you slide up. He scratches the side of his jaw and slides his other hand against your waist, pulling you from the door and walking with ease over to the sink, setting you down on the countertop. You unhook your legs and watch him as he starts to pace.

“Because, if I had not. I could just easily have killed you and felt nothing…just like Jack’s mother...maybe one day go for a redo and make you the second baby incubator.”

He says this so matter of factly as if it shouldn’t make you feel alarmed.

“Now, I just can't...I have to actually live with the fact that I love a human...and I’m just saying his because its true, I’m probably too much for you to handle.”

He stops pacing and walks back up to you, a sad looking grin on his face as he places his hand on top of our head and rubs your forehead with his thumb.

“Right now, I know you're scared...I can feel it…” he chuckles tilting his head to the side smiling.

Why is he smiling?

Your heartbeat quickens...you look into his face and feel once again how much different he is from you. How he doesn’t feel the same way as you do or view the world the same. “But you still love me...despite my slip up and little quirks…” his smile lowers. “Right?”

Your feeling the pressure every second your silence is another second he clenches and unclenches his jaw. You tell him that you care about him, but not when he lets his emotions overwhelm him, and that needs to calm down. He scrunches up his face tapping his fingers against t the counter, as if unhappy with your reply. You tell him he’s making you feel uncomfortable, and that if he cares about you as well. He’ll take a moment to think about how you feel hearing him say all this to you.

He rolls back his shoulders and steps away from you, turning his back to you. You both have moments like this way too often for your liking. But he’s getting better at understanding you and allowing himself to be less...demanding...for the answer he wants to hear, less god syndrome and more compromising.

“Ok, I'm sorry. Hey, I have to admit Gabriel got into my head.” He says with a musical tone as he pivots back to you. “He probably wanted me to feel doubtful and make me mess this up…" he gestures between you both. "Make I feel like you would...leave me... because I apparently shouldn't have a single person who's on my side! Knowing this-”

“ -I still need to hear you say the words...that you won't.” He gestures in the air and forces a laugh. “ I just need to hear it or I can’t and won't calm down and I'll go bash Gabriel's head in just to feel better. Ok, so please?“

You look at him with sad eyes and smile. You tell him that you won't leave him. He opens his mouth, but you silence him by continuing to speak. You say as long as he continues to care about you, your free will, and what you consider important. You won't leave his side.

He rolls back his shoulders and lets out a nervous laugh shaking his head.

“Ok. Yes, you and only you. Your all I care about anyway, so its done. I promise.” He starts biting his thumb and glances at the door. “I've obviously rattled you a bit so let me just...give you some space.” He heads towards the door, and you see his face snap into an emotionless stare at the door.

You say his name clearly, and his face switches back to a smile as he turns to you. You tell him to stay here and help you get dressed. Knowing him too well, and that he would probably do something stupid to Gabriel that would ruin this whole experience.

So he watches you undress and helps you put on the bathing suit. His hands, being slow with each tug and pull and you. Watch that shirt of his come off, and him only in his boxers...then nothing and then suddenly. Some very nice, pink swim shorts with pink glitter on the rear that read “Eat me”.

Damn, he really knew how to throw you around emotionally.

On a weekend, how long do you typically lay in bed before getting up?: It varies.

How long was your longest relationship?: This is my only relationship. My husband and I have been together for almost 8-1/2 years, married for 6 years.

What is your star sign? (ex: Aquarius): Eh, doesn't matter to me. I don't know much about astrology, just enough to know that it's bullcrap.

Which cities/states have you lived in? You can just name states if you want: Delaware, Louisiana, Ohio (three different suburbs), and Virginia.

When it comes to school, how motivated are you to work?: N/A... out of school.

Do you know any high school sweethearts? How's life treating them?: Only three couples come to mind. One of which is my grandparents and they've been happily married for 61 years. And the two other couples seem happy.

Where do you usually buy your clothes?: I don't really have a usual place, since I go clothes shopping really infrequently, and I almost never find anything I like anyways.

Would you rather be fluent in Chinese or Japanese?: Japanese.

Would you rather meet your soul mate early or date a few people beforehand?: I met my husband early, when I was 19 and we started dating shortly after I turned 20. I hadn't dated anyone before him.

Name me a funny/weird/entertaining YouTube video, please?: Eh, I don't know... I don't watch things on Youtube very often.

Are your fingernails currently short or long?: Short as always.

If you had to be a school teacher, which subject would you teach?: Ugh, no thanks! I'd never want a job where I'd have to deal with children. Although I guess I'd be fine teaching an 11th or 12th grade class, older teenagers are more tolerable. And the only subject I'd want to teach would be an intro to aviation class, since I'm a certified flight instructor.

When it comes to relationships, are you the jealous type?: Not at all.

What do you usually order at Jamba Juice?: I've never been to one. I've been to plenty of other smoothie bars, but I don't have a usual order, I just get whatever sounds good.

Have you ever been to see Rocky Horror?: Yes. Oh god, what a shitty movie.

How long have you had your cell phone?: I got it a little over 3 months ago.

Which gift cards do you have in your wallet?: I think there's a Panera gift card in there?

Which is the scariest ride you have ever been on in a theme park?: Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point.

Which celebrity do you think is the prettiest nowadays?: I don't pay attention to celebrities.

this is the third time i try wording this post if it doesnt work again the jamba cult wont be the only ones interested in committing self destruct

so you got kirby right.kirby will help Anybody but doesnt let themselves get stepped over n will fight them if theyre being cruel, but kirby will always extend an hand after, throughout this whole game you repeatedly make friends w enemies n call for old friends kirby has helped before to help, kirby sees dedede is possessed for the hundredth time n does not hesitate to help, same w meta knight even if he has a cold loner exterior

then youre introduced to the villains (focusing on zan n hyness here but def smth to be said even regarding franciscas duties not allowing for friendship time even tho they work closely together n flamberge being so protective of her she jumps into violence) n zan is.so loyal to hyness she has no care for the cults other subordinates, she strikes their generator to explode the station knowing this will likely harm most of the cult members that came w the generals, n has no problem doing it bc it benefits her n hyness, then during the altar fights we see her loyalty is so extreme bc he saved her n shes so deeply attached to him she tolerates any mistreatment from him, all for that, n after all that hyping up on her side of how much she adores n trusts him, hyness calmly slaps her aside after shes ran out of use, hes casually violent towards the mages for his benefit bc he sees his hatred for ppl from literal eons ago as more important n eventually sacrifices all of them to bring void into life, their god, who while perfectly resembling kirby, is filled w nothing but negativity

like.god theres sm even tho the games ridiculously short.both kirby n hyness saved ppl theyre close to before, but only one threw them away bc he was first in priorities, both kirby n the mages dont give up on ppl they love, but the mages (n specially zan) passively accept when said person is being cruel, kirby sees their friends need help n immediately runs to it n does everything they can meanwhile hyness hears zan calling for help n hits her to get out of the way, kirby calls for friends n works along side them while hyness literally make ragdolls out of the mages bodies n forces them to play along w every move he chooses n uses them as shields n weapons instead of fighting along side them, kirbys friends have grown n improved since they met sue to kirbys kindness while hyness is stuck in the past when he was done wrong n the mages r stuck at "but he used to be so kind", n again the whole thing the product of hyness' work is a child god filled w suffering n hatred, kirbys environment fosters n creates love, hyness' however couldnt result in anything but hatred n hurt

just extremely fun the friendship themed game decided to go w foiling the good side, filled w love, saving n always having ppl there for you, while the bad side is filled w hate, loneliness, abuse n unhealthy attachments.the special anniversary game is ultimately that kirby loves a lot, n love will beat up even an angry hate god, n thats beautiful

(n this isnt even going into stuff like hyness being canonically stated to have charisma which is often smth cult leaders have for manipulation, or it being possible to read his corruption wasnt as unwilling n fast as previous ones n kirbys love wins anyways n they redeem Literally All The Bad Guys.despite its v odd pacing KSA has sm stuff in its themes)

i post about this every week but srly i am so insane abt the relationship themes in KSA wdym everyone else isnt chewing the walls abt it too

#god please let KSA be the next game chosen to get deluxe-d they deluxe important games n it was such a big deal #all it needs is a better main story pacing PLEASEEE JUST PUT A WORLD SET IN THE REAL JAMBA CULT LOCATION #N THEN A MINI WORLD MAKING IT TO VOID.THE LAST STAGE IS SO RUSHED PLEASEEE #n i cant even say its fully on the team bc they were having to work w a new software (first switch release)#while also needing to make a big special anniversary game the workload sounds hellish #you could say they had issues w prioritizing things but ultimately they mostly just had shit time.need to experiment on software #while also making an extra special game w multiple playable characters.so yeah just plz deluxe 🙏 itll be peak 🙏🙏🙏#chewing the wall i didnt get to psycho analyze the cult here btw bc its abt the themes n not them #zan partizanne still drives me insane whats new #...yeah still so fucked she didnt get better at all at the end of the game shes still clinging to him.oh zanny wanny youre so doomed #its a good thing to me youre technically immortal bc youre a reanimated corpse otherwise the universe would have it out for you #jk it wouldnt bc she wanta to die so it wont let her bc being zan partizanne is suffering #oh so fucked btw.in her first fight shes just being a sore loser n getting more violent but during the second she calls for hyness to help #her bc near him she gets vulnerable.thats so mean kumazaki whattt

Bob Fossil: Interview

by Tasha Bielaga

photo by Symone Camargo

Bellingham based rockers Bob Fossil are ready to foss the entire Northwest of the US, and the rest of the world while they’re at it. Making noise in everywhere from people’s homes in northern Washington to bars in San Diego, vocalist Kenny Clarkson, bassist Hank Miller, guitarist Joe Canfield, pianist Corey Teply, and drummer Alan Schellenberger have been together for about 3 years. The quintet’s groovy guitar lines and spunky keyboard features are evocative of the rock’n’roll of the 70′s, a place where the band’s fashion sense may actually fit in. We talk about bouncing around in basements, what’s going on in the studio where their new album is being birthed, and paying the rent.

Electric Daze: Congrats on raising over $2,000 on your live stream for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! Super cool that it was for such a good cause too. How’d you feel about doing it? Is it something you would like to do again?

Really awesome! The fact that people were actually interested was fun, and we think the cause did a lot of the work itself. We weren’t sure what the amount of money would look like or how attainable it was, but it happened. We’re going to work on making it an annual event. As time goes on we’ll get more of a viewer audience participation, so we’ll get to raise more money and help more people as a band. We would like to say thank you to all the people that tuned in and supported, it meant a lot to all of us

ED: I saw you guys played some covers in it. What’s your favorite cover to play live? How does the crowd react to it?

Africa by Toto is a crowd pleaser. 3 years ago when we started out, we would play 2 covers a show. Since then, we really don’t do it as much, other than when we wanna play 40sec of a cover here or there to throw people off their feet. We like to jam on a cover between songs to give ourselves a little break or while we’re tuning. We kinda use covers as a fake out. When we play Africa we play the chorus and it’s fun, and then all of a sudden we’ll throw them a curve ball and start one of our own songs. Next I think we’re gonna try a Limp Bizkit cover, that’d suit us. Corey remembers right before Sasquatch in 2014 when Outkast was headlining, we covered “Hey Ya!” and these white boys did a mighty fine job of covering it. The same can’t be said when we tried to cover “Thriller”, that was a disaster of catastrophic proportions. Thankfully everyone at the house show we were playing at was drunk beyond what the body should probably be able to withstand, so no one really talks about our attempt of “Thriller” much anymore.

ED: Since you guys are self-proclaimed “Fossil Rock”, what exactly does that mean to you as a genre?

The only reason we did that originally, was because we knew we were rock, and we knew that rocks were fossils. It also kind of symbolizes every influence we put in our music: old, and buried in dirt for hundreds of thousands of years then dug up for your enjoyment. We look at it as an organically-genetically-modified crossbreed of rock, funk, grunge, jazz, and whatever the hell the kids are listening to these days. Everyone in the band has different influences musically, which is really cool, and we all are able to incorporate the styles we most relate to individually to something that is a mixing pot full of all five of ours. Our goal is to churn the smoothest butter possible so your ears are pleased with every bite. Sometimes the butter is a little chunky, but once we work out the kinks in certain parts of jams we come up with, it turns to something that is probably worthy of spreading on your toast. We definitely hear different band names from different people, especially age groups, about who we sound like. They’ll be like “OH you guys remind me of _____” and it’ll be something different each time. “Fossil Rock” is a way to avoid the question of what genre are you, because fuck genres. One Kenny thought of recently was “emo grandpa core”. We have influences from the late 60’s to 70’s to early 80’s, but at the same time if we hadn’t listened to these indie and alt rock of the 90’s and early 2000’s, we wouldn’t be the same, at least vocally and lyrically.

ED: Have you ever as a band or personally, pursued or thought about pursuing a different genre of music?

We as a band have a few songs that are more math rock, which are fun to play, but we don’t spend as much time on those. We love what we’re doing. Alan plays bass in a folk rock band, and it’s nice for him to taste some other flavors. Joe plays sitar is a 60’s Indian cover band. Kenny was in a pop punk band in high school, before he ever listened to anything else. He was at that point where he was like “this is all I like, this is all I know, everything else sucks”, and he was 15. The years leading up to when we formed this band really gave him a growing period to open his mind up to playing more than 3 power chord rock music. Corey’s been told he should think about playing piano at the local Nordstroms, so that’s something to maybe consider in his future- but for now, he’ll stick to this.

ED: Being based in Bellingham and living in a college town, do you find there’s a big difference in demographic or vibes between playing a show in Bellingham vs. a show in Seattle? How does that affect your playing?

Bellingham has a really big underage venue and house show scene. House shows are always more wild and more fun. Under age kids just love to get wasted and bounce around in a sweaty packed room, they feel comfortable dancing crazily. People will go to any show in Bellingham, even if they don’t know the band playing. You don’t need to convince a 19 year old to go to a show, they just go. When we first came to Bellingham, 5 years ago, the scene was considerably smaller. We were freshmen going to house shows and there were certain bands that we would go see multiple times, but it’s definitely the biggest it’s ever been right now, besides maybe in the 90’s. These days, every single house show is packed. It’s really cool though, this scene is something that the people who are a part of it will remember for the rest of their lives. But, a show in Seattle has a much for professional aura to it, maybe that might be due to us looking at is as going to the big city and playing a show that has higher stakes to it. At the end of the day, a show is a show, and we’re going to have a good time regardless and treat each as important as any other.

ED: With your latest tour in August, did you see a variation in the music scenes between each city?

It really depends on the demographic of the crowd vs. where we are. Older crowds tolerate and appreciate jamming a bit more. 20 year olds may not appreciate that as much. We try to be in a happy middle, and be a rock band that can jam. City to city, it’s more about who we can get out to our shows. Right now, we do a lot of asking our friends in that city to come out, rather than making a post on social media and having fans come out. But whether it’s 1 person (which did happen to us, we played a show in Olympia that ended up being us, the other band playing, and a guy named Cory. We bought him a tequila shot) or 1,000 people, we try to play our best and make an impact.

ED: What was your favorite show out of that tour?

Actually, Alan got us a really sweet gig in Los Angeles at a smoothie shop. It called itself a cafe, and if you look at photos of the live music there, it looks like there’s some sort of stage and/or corner of a reasonable size. That wasn’t true. It was like if you took a Jamba Juice, and cut it in half. So with that situation, we did have to say “Oh, okay, let’s play music in a way we don’t normally, in a way we don’t practice. Use less of your drum kit, turn your amps down, and get drunk (optional).” But our favorite show was probably in San Francisco at the Boom Boom Room. Hank and Alan are both from there, so they got to see a lot of their family and friends. We played top notch that night and ended up jamming past closing for the owner and manager. It was really special to Alan because all these people who took care of him when he was young got to watch him play the drums and scream at them. Although we don’t give Alan a microphone, he quite enjoys screaming his lungs out to the lyrics.

ED: Do you have any crazy fun stories from tour?

One of the funniest stories was when we were in Oregon, we had two shows in Portland with a day off in between. We decided it would be really smart to not book any places to stay in advance for this tour, we’re gonna camp, we’re gonna crash at houses, and it’s going to be totally fine to go to Cannon Beach in August and find camping. Every campsite in a ten mile radius was full, and we had no cell service. So we end up camping east of Cannon Beach, not in a camp site, on a turnout on the side of the road in the middle of the woods. We have the trailer with the gear, the SUV, and the Kia Soul. We created a buffer with our vehicles around where we slept on the gravel, so if a car did come off the road, it would hit one of the cars first, maybe saving us some damage to our bodies. We woke up several times to this unearthly sound, which turned out to be cars going around the corner at 30 miles an hour which was just terrifying. It was a beautiful area though.

On your website, there’s these really awesome band member bios. If you made one for the entire band, what would it say?

Our friend Mitch who made our website wrote those actually! Let’s call him and get his nice Mitch diction, so it’s authentic.

Mitch: If I was going to describe Bob Fossil, the word fucking comes along. The photo of all five of you on the forest floor with the wood string going across is the connection of the life, beauty, and emotion in your music. The face paint on Hank is the inspiration for his peers for the music that they create. How Allen has a slight grin and Corey has a big open smile, but Hank and Kenny are serious, show that some people find joy while others find subdued excitement.

ED: You’re “Survival Kit” video is pretty tight. Exactly what I would want if I was lost in the woods. What was the inspiration for that?

The idea was to do a video a month, in this day and age people want to look at stuff. It kind of allows us to be relevant not only as a band but also on another spectrum. With that video, our first goal was to advertise merch. But after a few beers at the local tap house, our friend Jake and us got some goofy video game ideas. Conor O’Keefe from Walking Distance Media LLC shoots all our videos. He’s been doing movies and touring with us for a while now. They wouldn’t be what they are without his vision and hard work. So we give Conor our ideas that we aren’t sure are always doable, and he brings them to life! We want these videos to be really funny and stand alone entertaining. Next month we’re releasing a in-studio video with a few interviews about the upcoming album. We’re also working with Conor on a music video for our upcoming single off our next album.

ED: You guys have so many intricate parts, especially keyboard and guitar lines. How do you go about making it all cohesive and not overwhelming?

We’re working with Russ Fish (producer & engineer) right now. Last record we did it in 3 days, and spent all day there working, just trying to get it done because we didn’t have much money. We had Russ for 16 hours last time, and this time we have him for the entire time we’re recording. He’s a big factor in helping us piece things together and cutting down on extra notes. It’s not that we’re going to shift everything we do, but it can always get better and cleaner. We do have a lot of parts going on, but that’s our sound. For our new album, we had 15 songs written by September. We got to Russ and he wanted 10, but we said we were doing 11. We took a vote for what songs to cut so it was a very mutual decision. We’ve been together as a band long enough that we’re comfortable telling each other what we think about everyone’s parts. Being constructive is going to make this record a lot better. We’re able to pick out a specific part and discuss it between the band and Russ, and then we decide if we should keep it or not. That’s something we didn’t do on the first two records.

ED: Who brings the first draft?

Kenny writes the bare bones: rhythm guitar & vocals, sometimes he gets crazy and writes other guitar parts. He also writes the general structure, like how many times we repeat this section and how we transition. Once he’s comfortable with what he’s written he’ll bring it to practice and everyone will start layering their parts and everyone can had their own flavor and take it in their own direction. Everyone’s responsible for their own parts, and now that we’re getting better at communicating, we can mold things together. We’re finally able to democratically talk about how we think a song should go. Democracy may be failing, but not in this band; democracy is alive and well in Bob Fossil.

ED: I’ve noticed you guys have such high quality recordings, compared to a lot of other smaller local bands who have a much more lo-fi sound? Is there a particular reason you went with this direction, and do you think it separates you from the others?

We have such high quality audio because Joe did the first album but we mic’d every instrument individually. Now we’re spending a lot more money. The aesthetic of indie bands like Neutral Milk Hotel or early Pavement, it’s lofi. It’s a certain character, a certain attitude, and we do listen to that. But, a lot of the music that we really draw inspiration from is more high quality sounding. The DIY lofi works nicely for a lot of bands, gives it a good raw feel. Plus it's cheap and there's an enormous amount of pride that comes out of something you do all yourself. But we do have all those intricate parts, so we have to make sure that you can hear every last thing, lofi would mask and muddle these puppies up. Another big thing is our long term goals. We want to go far in this industry, and in this day and age a lot of music that people listen to like EDM or rap is electronically made. The sound quality on these songs are going to be, for lack of a better word, perfect, because it’s all done on computers. As a rock band, we have to have high quality recordings to excel and compete with other bands.

ED: What are your goals for this year?

We want to become a regional band. Wanting to be recognized across the whole Northwest, and play shows consistently in Seattle is a big one. We also gain traction with this new album we are recording currently. We want to be able to pay the rent with the money we make from the band, so we can save our money from our other jobs, or quit them. But paying the rent is probably a life goal for everyone, unfortunately.

Is Your Workplace Toxic or Does It Just Suck?

Most people have to deal with a crappy job at some point in their lives—as a person who once dressed as a banana to hand out Jamba Juice samples, I can attest to this. But how can you tell when a job goes from run-of-the-mill bad to a toxic influence on your life? To suss out the bad jobs from the truly detrimental, I interviewed mental health experts to get their advice on how to tell when a job is just too awful and what to do if you're stuck in a toxic position.

When I throw around the word "toxic," I really mean it. A study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology surveyed unemployed people and found that those in a hostile work environment had higher stress levels than people who remained unemployed. And this wasn't just "I'm-feeling-kind-of-stressed" symptoms: The bloodwork of people at crappy jobs was noticeably less healthy than their already-stressed, not currently employed friends. Being in a toxic job can genuinely do mental and physical damage. So it's important to know the signs so you can get yourself out of a bad situation.

When Work Doesn't Stay at Work

"You can tell a workplace simply sucks when the problems are contained around the work itself but do not permeate beyond that. A workplace crosses the line into 'toxic' when it impacts you internally and personally," says Julie Gurner, Psy.D. It's one thing to have a lot to do or some people in the company that annoy you. But when you can't shake the negativity of the day or when your self-esteem and worth are diminished by your job, that's when you slide into toxic territory.

Licensed social worker Laura MacLeod recommends you really examine how you feel when you think about going to work the next day. "If you feel kind of lethargic, not particularly motivated, or that it would be nice to call in sick—this is a job you're not crazy about," MacLeod says. "If you feel anxious, irritable, deeply depressed, panicked, get cold sweats—this is toxic." And if those anxious, negative thoughts keep popping up long after 5 p.m., it's likely that your workplace is having an adverse effect on your life.

When You Can't See the Positive

If you have a job that's just kind of crappy, you might be able to pick out one or two positive aspects. Yes, the cubicle mate who shows you a different unfunny Youtube video every five minutes might make it hard to look on the bright side. But usually, when a job is merely sucky, you can find one good thing about it. "See if you can spend more time on that aspect of the work and remember to hang onto it when things get ugly," McLeod says. "Find and connect with coworkers you trust and brainstorm to make things more tolerable. Having someone to listen and empathize goes a long way."

Sometimes, you really can't think of a single good thing about your job—or the minimal positives don't outweigh the many negatives. A study from Michigan State University found that negativity in the workplace spreads like wildfire. Meaning that one toxic person or ongoing toxic comments make other workers act poorly toward one another, and, in the end, you have a bunch of unhappy people being crappy to one another. This leads to lowered productivity, poor morale, and an increase in mental fatigue, according to the study. So, if you can't think of a single nice thing, you're likely stuck in a "cycle of incivility," which is very hard to stop.
