#kirbo rambles

[absolutekirbofool-archive]

thinking out loud underneath the cut-- just lots of mc/sm fanfic & general writing thoughts (sorta negative) :) and yeah that's old art of stella and aiden having a picnic

had 8k worth of aidenfic i don't feel like continuing bc. there's enough aidenfic out there for my tastes and id rather write stella instead. no shame to aiden fans out there, yall are great (/gen), but iirc there's Aiden's Memoir and the prelude to Misfit Mania... and if i just swapped perspectives in my aidenfic aiden's perspective would be the stronger one. plus. there's no stellafic out there that goes in her character in-depth outside of a ship. (i'd love to be proven wrong though!!!)

complaining abt it is laughable to write out tho because my aidenfic features stella and their relationship heavily!! (also. almost all of the aid/della fics on ao3 are rated e. imo eros is important to me but not that important to me lmao.) maybe no one's an island.

ugh maybe im being too hard on myself. i had this idea rattling around in my head for years but now that im writing it i don't believe in it much anymore. i'll posts the scraps for sure one day.

anyway. back to the point. im trying to adjust my mindset to write a story centered around stella. it's a lot harder, that's for sure!

one of the reasons being that i relied on a certain plotting method with the aiden fic. for a character-centered narrative with stella i really don't think it's good for that... and besides, there's not much canon set-up for a great adventure featuring stella *except* her rebuilding champion city, a place originally built thru exploitation... and most likely rebuilt again that way (due to this line appearing if jesse isn't kind to stella, and stella not changing because of their kindness). though im not entirely beholden to canon. but id like to be.

gah. im so picky on what to write! i'll have my thoughts together and maybe i'll finally complete a stella-centered longfic. or maybe not. i make no promises. if you made it this far and have some (please be polite) thoughts you'd like to share dm me on discord. i'm "drymouth."

pros of house to self for xmas: i can host my besties without feeling observed

i can pretend the holiday season is fake

no one can get on my case about doing a 500 piece (499 piece...) puzzle on the living room carpet over the course of several hours

cons of house to self for xmas: there is a giant house spider on my bedroom wall. it is doing nothing, but it is doing nothing... menacingly... there is no one to save me. i no longer have a bedroom, i have made a tactical retreat and taken my belongings next door. i may be in here for the next week, or until help arrives. i am genuinely considering cashing in my 'emergency' phone call with my uncle at 11pm on christmas eve eve.

bigger con: i bravely ventured into enemy territory to liberate a charger. it's moved now. it may be out of sight, but it is NOT out of mind. i will hold my ground (from the other room) and never back down (not hallucinate bugs) and most importantly, never surrender (cry about it)

[cringywhitedragon]

The most random shit I have said for Kirbo Forgot the Land (Kirby and the Forgotten Land) is calling Clawroline…

Wait for it

Freaking…

“Freddy Cougar”

And all because of those claws man (and I guess you could say her pre-boss intro in a way.). What is this “A Nightmare on Wonderaia Street?”

I’m sorry for the ramble but it’s still cracks me up

[enigma-absolute]

Thanks for being patient with me Kirbo! I'm obviously not great with consistently on tag games, but I felt the vibe to go with this one.

1. Three non-romantic duos: Luke and Leia (SW), Zoro and Kiki (@ablatheringblatherskite's sibling duo from One Piece, I haven't seen or read any of it but I am here to support her OCs), and Peter and Arrio (Chrumblr RP shenanigans, they are literally Those Two Guys and Arrio is in a comedy duo doing bits against his will but they're gonna be great)

2. Surprising ship: The fact that I actually have anything to actively ship at all is a surprise after being a non-shipper in a passive sense for a while (read: didn't really fully connect with them but respected them!)

Unsurprisingly to all who know by now, it's SpiderSaber and no, I will not be shamed for OCxCanon shipping.

3. Last song: According to Spotify, it's a piano cover of 'Right Here in My Arms' from the Barbie Island Princess movie. I may not remember all the lyrics but it still hits me in the chest /pos

4. Last film: Uhh, the one I attempted and failed to sit down in whole for or short films? If it's the former, then TASM1. If it's the latter, then it's Duet by Glen Keane.

5. Currently reading: email drafts and teaching ESL study.

6. Currently watching: Aside from youtube vids? Nothing.

7. Currently consuming: Water. Hydrate or Dydrate.

8. Currently craving: either that REALLY good chicken cheeseburger from a more beachy suburb, or a white chocolate chai.

Open tag to all bc guess who's still bad at this!

9 people you'd like to know better

Done this one recently, so I'm changing the questions up. Thanks for the tag @authortobenamedlater.

1. Three non-romantic duos: Anakin & Rex, Nancy & Peggy, Christina & Melanie

2. A ship that might surprise others: Ben/Rey. Except not the way it's done in the movies.😅 There's a bunch of AU versions I've seen in fanart that made me start liking them, and now I have my own AU for them.

3. Last song: 'The Force Theme' by Samuel Kim.

4. Last film: Revenge of the Sith last night with my big brother.

5. Currently reading: lots of SW fanfic, Jedi Trial by David Sherman and Dan Cragg

6. Currently watching: Loki w my sister, Book of Boba Fett w a friend

7. Currently consuming: last thing I ate was a bowl of granola for breakfast

8. Currently craving: to turn my phone off and concentrate on writing for a solid hour. I have a fic to finish.

temporary soulmate au masterpost

 @the-s-is-silent replied to your post “@angry-kirbo replied to your post “Jaskier did not expect to meet his...”

Oh shit! I wasn't expecting there to be reincarnations. Can't wait to read even though this is going to hurt real damn bad

Oh my god thank you for making me realize I haven’t been putting links to previous bits in my posts! It didn’t occur to me since it’s not linear, I’m just putting up random bits of story and backstory. But I should start linking things so that anyone who’s interested can see what’s going on in this convoluted AU.

So unofficial soulmate au masterpost is:

According to the legends, Witchers don’t have soulmates - where it all began

Ramblings about the various Jaskiers and their feelings about Geralt’s hair

A snippet of Geralt right before encountering show!Jaskier

About the incarnation who died of the plague

One Safe Place - Geralt and his relationship to the music of various Jaskiers

It’s unlucky to be a witcher’s soulmate

show!Jaskier’s thoughts about how he met Geralt

Geralt’s thoughts after meeting show!Jaskier

and wow that’s way more posts than i thought it was. huh. I really need to get the actual plot moving and stitch it together into a full fic because the angst is going to be just delicious.

[sapphic-sppider]

i mean if ever an ask prompt to get a load of asks on, this is the one.  it’s also going under a cut because goddamn i do like to ramble about kirbo @carolofthedailydays @tsukuyomishirabes and @ them two anons i guess

1- Favorite character i got this three times, so i feel like three answers are warranted.  top of the heap is marx of course, my bastard son and favorite boss, whose moveset has inspired at least one move in every final boss arsenal in every kirby game since his soul incarnation in kssu.  and i’m still not over him being playable in star allies aaaaaaaaa speaking of, susie is an equally fun dream friend, but my reasons for liking her are completely different;  where marx has a very basic story arc, susie’s is complex (for kirby anyway) and lore-laden.  plus she’s gorl so like.  i gotta. rounding out my top three would be sectonia, and by extension taranza.  i won’t go into details, if you’ve played triple deluxe/dededetour, you know why, if not go play it, also it’s hip

2- Favorite final boss two answers for two asks;  i already went over them in the previous answer, but marx and sectonia are two very different boss fights.  marx i like mostly out of nostalgia, like, i played the everloving shit out of kssu, i know that bossfight front to back, and i still enjoy it.  sectonia on the other hand is set over three different forms, and i hate to use the word but it feels “epic” in the same way that star dream does, but without the starfox battle style.  plus the music...  oo we’ll get to that later

3- Favorite animal friend chuchu!  she’s adowabwe!  and her combo abilities are unique and strong, in most cases

5- Favorite main game nostalgia wants me to say super star/ultra, but honestly star allies blew me away in terms of how much fun i had.  recent kirby games have been very fun, but also maybe a bit too reliant on gimmicks?  like stomping around in robobot armor was fun, don’t get me wrong, and the background/foreground stuff in td was cute, but the main game in sa is like...  really good core kirby.  like if you’re going for 100% yeah you gotta switch around powers and spawn ai if you don’t have a co-op partner, but the solid classic gameplay combined with the ability to play all these fuckin old characters and the absolute lore bombs that get dropped later on...  it’s just about everything i wanted in a kirby game

6- Favorite spin-off game i’ve had a lot of good times with air ride over the years, and like a lot of fans i hope we see a remake at some point.  until then i’m content to putz around in city trial with my best friend

8- Favorite copy ability i’ve always been a hammer girl at heart, i like big burst damage, but suplex is just somethin i can’t pass up.  it’s just fun to YEET fuckers around, even if it is a subpar boss-fighting ability

9- Favorite song / 10- Favorite Final Boss Theme three asks for this one too, i won’t go into detail, but i will provide links Moonstruck Blossom Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection/Soul 0 System VS. Marx okay i lied i will go into detail, why the fuck do most of the other dream friend morpho knight fights get these kickass titles like “The Maidens’ Battle with Darkness”, “Crowning of the Supreme King ~OVERLORD~”, “Deus Ex Machina at a Young Age” and yet marx is just left with “oh yeah it’s the star allies version homie we gotchu”  like??????

15- A song you would like to be remixed  zero.  why the hell they were able to seamless mix both parts of kdl2 dark matter into the dm clone fight in robobot, but for gooey’s morpho knight fight it’s just kdl3 dark matter?  the two pairs of fights are just as consecutive, dark matter blade bleeding right into true dark matter, and the hyperzone fights being just the same.  and i’m not counting the celebration pic theme, i want an actual boss remix.  hell i just want zero back in some canon form.  void is close but like, it’s still ambiguous...

16- A character you would like to see back ZERO PLEASE CMON GUYS THERE’S SO MUCH DARK MATTER LORE TO BE EXPLORED AAAAAAAAA

17- A copy ability you would like to see back see that’s tough because star allies has representation of a helluva lot of abilities, even if they aren’t necessarily copy abilities kirby can use.  even then, the other really unique abilities haven’t been gone for that long so like...  animal would be fun to see back, with some new tricks of course.  iunno i feel like i’m scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one, which is a good problem to have in this case

23- Any kirby-related memory you have i played a lot of return to dreamland with my best friend in college, and one of the bosses, mr. dooter, we’d just like...  say his name in increasingly goofy and stupid ways.  i dunno why that stuck with me but like...  fuckin dooter...  iunno i guess i just wanna get back to that.  which i mean, i guess i’ll get the opportunity to, since he’s comin into town for a week pretty soon.  so we’ll get to do all that again, only with star allies.  and a lot of other games.  ...fuck i didn’t think this’d turn into somethin this personal but like, kirby’s just that important to me.  got a lotta good memories with the series

[driftwoodmfbreblogs]

A while back I gave the KATAM Kirby's a whole story and what they are now doing in life.

I headcanon Red Kirby, I like to call him Kirbo, decided to travel basically to the other side of the universe so he can protect it like how Kirby protects Popstar and other nearby planets. He knows Kirby can't easily reach places that far, much less even hear about what danger there is. Thanks to a suggestion from my friend Arti, I decided that he ended up on a world with Cappy Town and all the anime character (That don't exist in the games already)

Oops, I rambled a little. Basically my headcanon is that Red Kirby is way to far away to hang out with Kirby very often. But Blue Kirby has time! (I need to redo Blue Kirby's personality)

TLDR - Red Kirby lives to far away to visit Kirby very often

Red Kirby. We haven't seen them for a long time, haven't we? They've pretty much been replaced with Blue Kirby at this point. It has been over a decade since they were part of the Kirby recolor gang. I can't help but wonder, if one of the games that featured Red Kirby was to get a remake, such as KATAM, would they get replaced with Blue Kirby?

Which lead me to think about...

Red Kirby having a crisis unable to figure out whether they took part in the events of KATAM or not.

PAMARTHE ARC 3: HIREACH (HIGH-RAWK)

A/N: It has been a hot minute. I've been so busy with life and writing my novel that before I knew it, seven months have passed since I last updated my beloved story. I've felt the absence greatly. Through the difficulties in writing a manuscript, editing and the general breakdowns that go with it, I've longed to return to the story where my entire heart and soul lives. A terrible bout of writers block was only cured by returning to Stitches, and I cannot tell you how happy I am to be back. I can't promise updates will be as regular as they once were given my commitments to publishing, but I want to assure you all, this story is not abandoned. It never will be.

NOTE! If you'd like to keep up to date on the publication of A Sensual Summoning, you can follow me on tiktok @racheljroman, all my links are there -3-

Stitches!Verse: the newest member of the rhaer's harem.

Pairing: Kyr Carria/Raesa(Fem!OC)

Rating: 18+ (NO Minors)

Words: 1.3k

Warnings: Smut

A/N: Just some writing practice expanding on some of the original relationships and lore on Pamarthe. Doesn't impact the greater Stitches timeline/plot, so feel free to ignore!

“Why are you hovering in the shadows, little fawn?”

If there was ever a person who embodied the delicacy of the doe; her skittishness and beauty—it was Raesa. She had captivated Kyr’s eye almost as soon as she had entered his territory, hidden amongst the towering aisles of the sanctuary where she worked, diligently transcribing poems and song into a chronological account of Pamarthen history. In particular, the coloured history of Clan Carria.

She was the first of his harem he hadn’t fucked before inviting into that prestigious group.

Though shy, she had agreed with such immediacy that it stroked along the spine of Kyr’s ego, made him hunger for her. But the little fawn needed to find her feet, before she found herself under him—and Kyr had plenty of warm bodies to distract himself with in the meantime.

That celibacy hadn’t lasted long, however. Tiptoeing around each other—avoiding twigs that snapped and leaves that crunched in order to feign ignorance of the others’ presence an edging game that left Kyr rock hard and the woman he buried that frustration in thanking Raesa with giggling gossip the next morning.

Raesa positively blushed at the insinuation every time, unable to hide it as said woman braided her hair in the harems summer solar. She was still adjusting and though the network of friends and support provided by the women who made up the rhaer’s harem were a welcome addition to her life, it was still new. And Raesa struggled with new.

It was by that struggle that Kyr and Raesa would finally bond.

When she slipped away into Siodam’s forest to one of the lonelier creeks to bathe and he spotted her weaving through the trees from his balcony. Still unaccustomed to the shared bathhouse, she preferred the privacy of the fresh water still chilly in the young suns weak rays.

He followed. And seeing her sitting naked on one of the many smooth, submerged rocks in the shallow water – free of clothing and makeup, hair wild and looking every inch a primal goddess – he didn’t hesitate to make his presence known. She welcomed him into the water and into her bed, into her as he joined her night after night to slake his hunger for the lovely soul that had haunted his dreams for months.

He still found it endearing how – even after that – she just about jumped out of her skin now when his voice rumbled across her skin, the hint of amusement noticeable in his voice lost in the flurry of nervousness at being addressed.

In front of all those advisors too, Siodam—she should have just waited until later…

The rhaer looked nonplussed, unperturbed as he interrupted the advisor currently speaking. He had his chin resting on his palm, elbow propped and eyes scanning the great hall for something to lay his attentions on. Anything but harvest logistics.

That something, was Raesa.

A feline smirk spread on tempting lips and lit golden eyes with an infernal glow beneath the strands of brunette hair that had escaped his tie. His gaze was lazy as it dipped down the length of her body. A caress in its’ own right, it touched her with honey warmth—sweet, bad for her.

Her stomach plummeted down her navel, an arousing awareness at being the doe spotted by the stag.

Don’t run, he’ll only chase you. He’ll only enjoy it more.

It was only instinct telling her to bolt, like it did to everything. But she didn’t want to run from him, not really. It was a habit she was slowly but surely breaking with his assistance. Every night spent with him inside her, every shattering orgasm chipping away at the hardwired reactions she had to flee from everything and everyone.

Hypersensitive, people called her. An insult.

A survivor, he called her. A compliment.

Nipples pebbled beneath the sheer length dress – it was summer after all – flowing like water down her curves, his effect on her was instant and obvious. It made the smirk nefarious in its’ intent, and his molten eyes lethal in their hold.

Another advisor had begun speaking, commenting on the previous mans’ findings and adding his two credits. They all knew where this was going. Still, better to let the rhaer have his doe. At least then he would be in a better mood. At least then he would be less obstinate and more likely to allow them to go ahead with the plans they had painstakingly prepared to present to him.

He pushed himself up to sit properly, still watching her—and held out a hand, palm open to the willowy beauty. He never commanded, only invited silently. And it was that quiet strength that made it impossible to want to refuse him.

Raesa was across the hall before she was aware her feet were moving. Small hand in his, his fingers swallowed hers as he closed them around her, thumb rubbing with familiar affection across her inner wrist.

“Mm…do not fear that you’re ever interrupting me, little one—” he guessed her worries instantly.

Chewing her bottom lip, Raesa all but forgot about the meeting going on—eyes dropping to his lap in embarrassment. She might accept him every time he came to her, but despite being part of his harem, she had yet to approach him herself for fear of being in the way.

He knew immediately.

And the colour it resulted in on her cheeks only made the weathered leather of his pants tighten further. That made her flush even further when she noticed.

“How was your morning?” he continued, the words so low she felt them rather than heard them—the sound making her all the more aware of her arousal as they shot with single-minded focus to her cunt, pooling with wetness in underwear she wasn’t wearing.

“Slow,” she began, the sound of her voice making the stag inhale through his nose audibly, as though scenting her very vocal cords, “I finished up some work in the sanctuary—”

“I imagine we’ll soon have more history books than we know what to do with,” the hint of a smile quirked the corner of his mouth, “those sentinels are treating you right, little love?”

She nodded, beaming at his encouragement even though she knew his interests lay in the outdoors, not in books.

“So a good morning, all in all?” he hummed, leaning back against the fur lined Seat of his rule, tugging her between his legs as he did so with confident ease.

“Mm…almost,” she admitted to the curious arch of a single brow, eyes alight with amused interest.

“Almost?”

Raesa nodded, her hands falling to the solid expanse of his thighs—fingers splayed not fitting fully over the tops of them. Strong, fast, as lethal as his gaze and as devastating as his voice. She held that gaze now as she dropped to her knees, slow—purposeful, to catch every shift of his irises as they changed, darkened.

He didn’t stop her from undoing the laces of his pants, too tight to be comfortable… and even when one of his advisors cleared his throat, Kyr only waved a hand dismissively for him to continue his presentation. And all the while, his gaze never left hers.

Not when she pulled his cock from his pants. Not when she wet it with small, tentative licks. Not when she stroked the girthy length of it with slow drags of her wrist up and down it.

His eyes only fell closed when she took him into her mouth, a suppressed groan showing in a strained jaw and head tipped back as he basked in the pleasure. Falling into a comfortable rhythm, Raesa would soon find his hand in her hair, guiding her down his cock while he went back to listening to the meeting. Nodding to certain demands and feeling much more generous than he had an hour before.
