KRBAY/HNK Head Canons (Robobot Addition Part 2)

The final part begins with Tiff & Kirby being encountered by Haltman, who was surprised at how far they made it into his office. Then he gives them two choices, either to be mechanized or to be smashed by his robobot, in which Tiff declare that she & Kirby will never be mechanized. Which he happily activated his robobot as he began to attack them. Meanwhile when DMK & the otter girl were trying to find the medical facility they bumped into some docs where they found out that when Haltmann was trying to make the portals, he made some deal with a NeMeEe, who were in secretly going to control Haltmann like Dedede & Sectonia. When the battle ends, Haltman declare that he will have to take extra measure, which means he will use the power of his AI Star Dream to annihilate them. However, Susie stole the helmet that would've allowed him to activate star dream. However, before Haltmann could use the machine, Susie snatches the control helmet off his head, causing him to pass out. Planning to sell Star Dream's database to "teach Haltmann a lesson," Susie puts on the control helmet; however, Star Dream becomes sentient and turns on her, (because he was made by NeMeEe) blasting her unconscious with a laser. Star Dream then takes control of Haltmann��s body and uses it to communicate with Kirby & Tiff. Through Haltmann's now comatose body, Star Dream declares that all life-forms are obstacles in the way of Haltmann's wish for eternal prosperity of his company. As the giant computer flew away, Susie woke up and called Kirby's robot, where he got back on, the otter girl, MK, DMK, & Tuff joined in, which Tiff was happy to see he was MK & Tuff back to normal. as they got outside, they saw Star Dream head into space, but then they saw the Halberd (With ChuChu & PyuPyu driving it (more on them in another ask)), which DMK was shockingly surprised, and Tuff said that if Dark Meta wasn't alone, he would've had his own ship as well. Susie activate Kirby's robobot as it absorbed the Halberd and made a Kirby version of the Halberd. Susie, DMK, the otter girl, Tiff & Tuff got onboard, as Kirby went to battle star dream. After defeating it and attach to the Haltman company and its face was revealed, Kirby and the others were shocked to see galactic MOVA's face, as it intended to destroy them, Kirby & co then battled it until Meta Knight launched Kirby and his robobot armor. Turning the Halberd back to normal. As Kirby drilled its head through its body, he made an opening into the NOVA, where he battled the NOVA's heart to shut down Star Dream. Ater Kirby broke the heart of the NOVA, Star Dream exploded. The explosion damaged Kirby's robobot armor and knock Kirby unconscious. As Kirby fell down to the planet, MK picked up Kirby as everyone hoped he would wake up. As Kirby woke up, everyone was happy he was alright. Then, they noticed that the Mecha started to go away, turning everything back to normal. Tiff said she didn't understand how the Haltman company magically turned everything into metal. But it's explained by Susie that Star Dream had a magical being's DNA & that it used its power to turn everything into robots. Tiff asked what would become of her, which Susie said that she would find what to do. Meanwhile, the otter girl & Kirby thanked Dark Meta Knight for helping them, but he said he only did it to try take over the company, but now that the company is gone, he will return to his ship as he walk away. Tiff tells Kirby, Susie, the otter girl, & Meta Knight that they should go to Cappy Town and see if everyone is alright. In which he agrees, as they ran into town. However, at the fountain of dream. the robot landed on its water. Where the fountain swallowed the robobot armor as the fountain of dream shined brighter.

(PS I NEED A NAME FOR THE ROBITIC OTTER GIRL WHO'S INSPIRED BY THIS BETA DESIGN OF SUSIE! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS EGGY?)

Rotten blue borberry anon here, i kinda meant MK but i don't mind if there's DMKs as well (๑´ㅂ`๑)

Ah, the true blueberry :3c I can oblige!

Meta Knight was born similar to Kirby in a way! To make a puffball, one must complete a heroic or kind act in the world, and a wish must be made to the stars. Whatever the wish is will impact the abilities and personality of a baby puff. Once that’s done, a puffball will be sent down from space!

Meta Knight was born in the aftermath of a Great War and found by one of the four powerful knights of the galaxy! They raised him along with their crew and taught him almost everything he knows :3 a tradition Meta Knight is continuing further with Kirby

He is a nocturnal creature, but his sleep pattern is completely jacked due to his job happening mostly in the day

He’s actually much stronger in the nighttime, but again... jacked up sleep schedule

Dark Meta Knight is a very passive aggressive bastard and it’s a miracle that Shadow Kirby is able to gleam anything from his training lessons

Meta Knight in his spare time is trying to write down all the vital knowledge he knows to pass down to Kirby and future puffballs in the event of his inevitable demise

...

One day, he knows Kirby is going to grow up

That will perhaps be the proudest day of his life

#MKarunanidhi

I created chaos in the temple,

not for protesting against the temple,

for temples not to become a camp for the scoundrels.

I attacked the priest,

not for he is a devotee,

for preventing devotion from becoming deception...

This is the lesson, rationale, and political philosophy,

that can be found on every page

from the books of our lives..."

- Muthuvel Karunanidhi (3rd June 1924 – 7th August 2018)

--------------------

Today is the Birth anniversary of Legendary Leader Muthuvel Karunanidhi, The product of the Legacy of Legendary Periyar Ramaswamy ( the modern Father figure of South Indian Indigenous Movement of resistance against Brahminism/Hinduism). Muthuvel Karunanidhi was popularly known as 'Kalaignar' (artist), served as the chief minister of the state of Tamil Nadu for five separate terms in the 1969–2011 period. He was a long-standing leader of the Dravidian (India's Indigenous) Self-respect movement and ten-time president of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) political party. Before entering politics he worked in the Tamil film industry as a screenwriter. He has also made contributions to Tamil literature, having written numerous stories, plays, novels, and a multiple-volume memoir. His life span replete with revolutionary actions in the interests of poor and needy will continue to inspire a legion of fans down the coming generations. More than a politician, his mass adulation is borne off his meaningful screenwriting, and dramas. Few achieve success without developing charisma in electoral politics. Kalaignar was the one hell of a charismatic Leader of the southern shores.

Blue Salute to the Legend!

Long Live his Legacy!

Long Live Social Justice.

Final Journey Post

My reason for enrolling in the EBMS program was to develop a career where I could pursue something that I truly love, rather than just work at a job that pays the bills. While I was focused on opening a music studio where I can work on my own music and later expand into offering artist management services, my goals have grown over the past twelve months. As I learned more about the entertainment industry itself, I also learned a great deal about myself. Now I am ready to do what I want to do, rather than what I, or others, think I should do.

Making a complete career change at this time in my life was a bit scary, but I have found it to be a necessity to my personal happiness and satisfaction. Reading Mastery by Robert Greene in month one helped to reinforce and validate my career-change decision. I studied music until I graduated from high school, then it fell by the wayside as life got in the way. Greene’s discussion about returning to our origins as the means to discover (or rediscover) our calling was so encouraging that my apprehension quickly went away while reading the book. I have posted the following of his statements on my vision wall for continued inspiration; “in order to master a filed, you must love the subject and feel a profound connection to it,” and “if you connect to this core at any age, some element of that primitive attraction will spark back to life, indicating a path that can ultimately become your Life’s Task” (Greene, 2012).  

To make the Turning Point video for our first Mastery assignment, I had to first learn several new skills. Prior to entering this program, I had never created a Keynote presentation, iMovie or MPEG, or uploaded a video to YouTube. Using the tools available on Lynda.com, I taught myself how to create the presentation and convert it to a movie. Then I learned how to set up a personal YouTube channel and upload the video. If was frustrating at first, but once I figured out the platform, I enjoyed the experience and will use my channel as part of my self-promotion efforts.

The Greene and Maxwell books used in Executive Leadership were very helpful in analyzing my own leadership skills. It is very important to view and understand one’s leadership role from both the leader and employee/follower perspective. Maxwell defines leadership simply as “the ability to obtain followers” (1993). Having followers is extremely important if one wants to succeed in the entertainment business, both from a manger and artist point of view. A key aspect to successful leadership is setting priorities, and using the Pareto Principle to prioritize is a helpful exercise. The spread sheet provided in the course is one to which I will often refer.

The leadership topics discussed in Executive Leadership provided a nice segue to Project and Team Development. The personal assessments completed in PTD were very beneficial in helping identify the areas where I need to work to become a more effective leader. Using the Conflict and Leadership Style assessments along with the DISC and Personality Type profiles has given me insight into my strengths and weaknesses as a leader. The conflict resolution plan we developed gave me an opportunity to look very closely at how I would manage certain issues both on a project and business management basis. Learning the WBS and Gantt chart system for project development was also something new to me, and I found the project to be a very helpful tool in my screen play development.

Business Storytelling and Brand Management offered some additional challenges as I had never before created a website. The Digital Leadership Portfolio Workbook provided for the course was a great help to me for this undertaking. I learned a great deal about how to market myself through personal branding, which will also help my future clients.

The Brand Prism exercise along with CC Chapman’s Business Storytelling guide and the Business Model Canvas exercise were all helpful tools in helping to develop and expand my dinner theatre business concept. The prism and canvas platforms were also new to me, so provided another skill for me to master.

Entertainment Business Finance provided a nice review of accounting principles which I already knew. The pro forma spread sheet is a great tool that I will definitely be using for future projects. I have already used it to create financials for the music school where I serve on the finance committee. The financial ratios and time value of money concepts were more meaningful to me when applied to an actual business model of my own than when I have completed such exercises in the past.          

Digital Marketing provided one of the largest learning opportunities for me. I knew nothing about KPI’s or SEO prior to taking the course. Nor had I ever created a full marketing campaign or an editorial calendar. Now I am familiar with platforms such as Google Analytics, Spyfu and Similarweb which can not only help identify website weaknesses, but also offer tools to help improve search engine optimization and ranking.

Other sources used to create marketing projects such as Adobe Spark and Canva were also new to me prior to taking DMK. Not only did I learn how to put together a comprehensive marketing campaign that integrates website, social media and print advertising, I also learned new project creation platforms and marketing skills.

The concepts applied from Negotiating and Deal-Making and Product and Artist Management go hand-in-hand with the artist management aspect of my business plan. The case study on artist managers completed in PAM introduced concepts both for successful artist management and contract negotiation. The product planner exercise provided in PAM is a great promotional tool that can be used for my future clients.

Preparing the negotiation analysis for NDM provided an opportunity to further research and critique negotiations on the professional level. The fact that we were to appear in the recorded presentation required me to learn another skill, which I did. Not only did I learn valuable lessons about negotiation, I got to enhance a skill learned earlier by creating a movie and uploading it to YouTube.

What I learned through Advanced Entertainment Law and Entertainment Media Publishing and Distribution inspired me to explore additional avenues for creative expression beyond music. I am now writing two screenplays and have developed an outline of short story and essay ideas which I will be writing going forward. Thanks to what I have learned regarding copyright and trademark protection and self-publication options through the aforementioned courses, I feel confident about getting my musical and literary work published and produced.

The Intellectual Property and Legal Liabilities exercises completed in AEL provided me with a thorough understanding of how to register and defend trademarks and copyrights, as well as prevent infringing upon other’s. Through exercises completed in MPD, I now know how to write and submit a query letter and film treatment.  

The Business Plan Development and Final Project courses were paramount to helping fine tune my business goals and prepare a business plan that is appropriate to submit to financiers or investors. The comprehensive proforma spread sheet used in BPD is a great guide to make sure all expenses are realistically considered. Breaking down income by different streams or products is also helpful in determining if a certain aspect is worth including.

Learning to develop an effective elevator pitch in FP was fun, and a skill that will definitely be needed in the future. Creating the elevator pitch and business plan presentation videos allowed me to use all of the technical skills I have developed over the past 12 months, while reinforcing the investment financing knowledge gained from the lectures and supplemental material.

Looking back at my first post in month one, I wanted to be “out of the office” by the time I graduated. That goal has been met. Now I can move forward with achieving all of my personal and professional goals. I have purchased a karaoke system and begun promoting myself as an entertainer. I am writing and preparing to self-publish my first screenplay over the next few months. Everything I have learned through the EBMS program has culminated in a business plan for a dinner theatre venture that will benefit artists of all kinds. While working towards my goals, I will be able to help many others reach theirs.

via Today Bharat For a day that has long been in the making, over four decades after he joined the party, newly-elected DMK President MK Stalin on Tuesday called upon party cadres to come together and work towards achieving a society as envisioned by his father and late Chief M Karunanidhi. Assuring the party that he will continue to walk on the path shown by DMK founder Annadurai and the former President Karunanidhi, Stalin pledged to protect, cherish and advance the four founding principles of the party. ldquo;I aim to lead Tamil Nadu on the path of self-respect, equality, social justice using this party,rdquo; said the new President of the DMK. Beginning his speech using the same endearing words used by his father to evoke euphoria among the cadre, Stalin said, ldquo;En uyirinum melana anbu udan pirapukkaley (my beloved siblings who I love more than life itself).rdquo; He, however, said that unlike lsquo;Thalaivar Kalaignarrsquo;, ldquo;I donrsquo;t know to talk like him, I cannot talk like him, I cannot own the language like him. But I stand before you with the guts to try anything.rdquo; Taking over the mantle as one of the most influential regionals leaders in India today, he called for a total decimation of the AIADMK government in the state and the BJP at the Centre. ldquo;Education, Arts, Literature, religion are being used by the Central government to propagate religious hatred. The schemes started by Anna and Kalaignar are being sidelined and self-respect and social justice is being shattered by the party that is ruling Tamil Nadu now, with Annarsquo;s name in it,rdquo; said the new DMK Chief. In his first significant political statement after his election as the President of the DMK, Stalin sounded a clarion call to his cadre and said, "Come, come join hands with me. Come with me to teach Modi's government- which paints all of India in saffron- a lesson. Come with me to rout out the state and central governments. Let's all come together." Stalin also used the occasion to set out his vision for the party. ldquo;Some questions like lsquo;Who are we? What is our future? What are we here to do?rsquo; did not let me sleep for a few days. I would like to share that dream with you all today. It is a society which respects everybody, has social equality, transgender rights etc. It is a society devoid of differences,rdquo; he said. Calling party workers to unite to help him achieve this dream, he said that this is not just his dream, it is of the party and of Tamil Nadu. Emphasising that change had well and truly come for the DMK, Stalin said, "The man that you see today has been born again. This is a new me. With the hope of a new future for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, here I am born before you." Harking back to the social justice values of the DMK, Stalin reminded cadres that the party comprised not of those who valued their caste above all else, but those who valued each other as human beings. Stalinrsquo;s speech suggested that he was ready to lead the party on a new path, upholding and staying true to the principles laid down by Periyar, Annadurai and Karunanidhi. He concluded his speech by assuring party workers that they are all equal in the eyes of the leadership and that he himself is a worker first.

Karunanidhi had ability to inspire loyalty and that loyalty never left him

In over 70 years of his political life, Karunanidhi contributed immensely to establishing social justice platform and encouraging Tamil language in the state. For the last 40 years, from 1975 onwards, there have been only three major players in the Tamil Nadu politics - Karunanidhi, MGR and Jayalalithaa. With Karunanidhi's death, there is a huge vacuum in the politics of the state and who is going to fill that vacuum is a big question. Though Mr Stalin is certainly pre-eminent among those who are there now, he himself admits that he has not reached the same height as his father. Only time will tell whether Stalin would be able to develop the party in the long term.

Whether you liked him or not, Karunanidhi was a force in Tamil Nadu politics. He had a never-say-die spirit. He was able to keep the party together even though they had long spells out of power. Between January 1976, when the DMK government was dismissed, and 1989, almost 13 years they were out of power and they lost three elections- in 1977, 1980 and 1984- but still he was able to keep the party together. He had the ability to inspire loyalty and that loyalty never left him. The ability he showed to keep the party cadre motivated is a lesson for any political leader in India.

Tamil Nadu well prepared to tackle rains like foreign countries, say ministers

Even as DMK working president MK Stalin lashed out at the Tamil Nadu government and said that the state government had not learned its lesson from the 2015 floods in Chennai, two Tamil Nadu ministers put on a brave face and said the government was more than prepared to deal with the rains.

SP Velumani, minister of municipal administration and rural development said that the state government has done more work than several developed nations to deal with the rains. 

"Recently heavy rain lashed Bengaluru, London and America but I assure we've done more work compared to these developed nations,'' the minister was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

D Jayakumar, minister of finance and fishing, went a step further and claimed to have solved 98 per cent of rain-related issues in the city.

 "We are having the capacity (to solve the problem) like foreign,'' the minister said.

98% of the problem has been settled. We are having the capacity (to solve the problem) like foreign: TN Min D Jayakumar on #ChennaiRains http://pic.twitter.com/GpnYm6DZer

The state government had declared a holiday for schools and colleges on Tuesday as the weather office forecast heavy to very heavy rains in some areas of coastal districts, including the capital city and its neighbourhood, in the next 24 hours. 

Many parts of Tamil Nadu received heavy rainfall on Monday, disrupting normal life.

One person was killed in Thanjavur district in a rain-related incident. 

Reports attributed the rainfall to the cyclonic circulation that is currently persisting over Southwest Bay of Bengal, off the Sri Lanka coast and the adjoining Tamil Nadu coast.

[todaybharatnews]

via Today Bharat When Indira Gandhi announced the Emergency in 1975, among the few Chief Ministers of the country who opposed her was Tamil Nadursquo;s Muthuvel Karunanidhi. His supporters say that despite having political control of the state, he took a stand against the draconian act and the despotic Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA), and stood by democracy. It cost him dearly ndash; his government was dissolved soon, and his confidantes and family members faced the wrath of Indira's government. He would not return to power for nearly 13 years. But those years defined him as the brave, shrewd and perseverant person he was, until the very end of his life. On August 7, the master politician and Dravidian luminary who held five terms as the CM of the state, passed away in Chennai, not before a long and hard battle against his own body. The ailing leaderrsquo;s mortal remains are at Kauvery Hospital, where he had been receiving treatment since July 28. The veteran politician had been keeping unwell and was out of active politics for nearly two years. His public appearances had also become limited. In December 2016 alone, he was hospitalised twice, and since then had been in and out of the hospital. Following the deterioration in his health, his son MK Stalin wasnbsp;namednbsp;the Working President of the party on January 4, 2017 at a meeting of the DMKrsquo;s general council in Chennai. Ill-health prevented Karunanidhi from attending the event, the first time ever he missed it due to his health. Karunanidhi, however, continued to hold the post of President till his death.nbsp; nbsp; From Thanjavur to Fort St. George Karunanidhi wasnbsp;bornnbsp;on June 3, 1924 at Thirukkuvalai in erstwhile Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu, around 300 km from state capital Chennai. He was born into anbsp;poornbsp;Isai Vellalar family ndash; members of a temple-dependent caste that traditionally played the Nadaswaram. While his fathernbsp;wantednbsp;him to propagate the familyrsquo;s musical tradition, Karunanidhi was not inclined. But it was the music classes that gave Karunanidhi his first lessons in politics, as it reflected the caste intricacies of that era. He was not allowed to cover his upper body and his learning was restricted to a few songs. At the age of 14, Karunanidhi was inspired by a speech made by Alagiriswamy of the Justice Party in 1932, which prompted him to enter politics. He became a student activist in Periyarrsquo;s Self-Respect Movement, whichnbsp;foughtnbsp;for the rights of the Dravidians against the domination of the lsquo;Aryanrsquo; north Indians. The 1937 anti-Hindi agitations catapulted him into the thick of Dravidian movement, and elevated his profile in the state. After Hindi was made compulsory in schools, Periyar brought to the forefront inspiring young Tamil students to take to the streets in protest. Among the students leading the protest was Karunanidhi, who gave speeches and even brought out a magazine. His political activism found favour with Periyar and his lieutenant CN Annadurai, who gave him political space. Both of them were also impressed with his excellent oratorical skills and gave him the opportunity to address public gatherings. He was later made the editor of the Dravidar Kazhagam party magazine, Kudiyarasu. He led campaigns fighting for the rights of Dravidians and this brought him into political prominence in Tamil Nadu in the 1950s and 1960s. After Independence, after Periyarrsquo;s movement split in two, Karunanidhi joined the faction led by Annadurai, who went on to form the DMK in 1949. While Karunanidhi was good at mobilising crowds, he also managed to raise funds for the party. He was first elected to the Tamil Nadu Assembly from the Kulithalai seat of Tiruchirapalli district in 1957. He was among 15 DMK legislators elected. Thereafter in 1961, he was appointed the DMK Treasurer, and a year later, he became the Deputy Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly. He got a cabinet berth in 1967 when he was made the Minister for Public Works and Highways, after the DMK formed the government. Following the death of CN Annadurai in 1969, he became the CM of Tamil Nadu with the help of MG Ramachandran, known popularly as MGR. In 1971, he led the party to a resounding victory in the snap elections held that year. The very next year, after a cabinet post was denied to him, MGR split from DMK and formed his own party, the AIADMK. Political rivalry in later years Karunanidhirsquo;s government was dismissed in 1976 by then PM Indira Gandhi, who imposed Presidentrsquo;s rule in the state, following a declaration of Emergency in the country. In the 1977 elections, the AIADMK led by MGR trounced the DMK and stayed in power for as long as he was alive. Only after MGRrsquo;s death in 1989, did the DMK stage a comeback and Karunanidhi became CM for a third time after a gap of 13 years. However, an unsavoury event on March 25, 1989 turned the tide against Karunanidhi. On that day, Jayalalithaa, the Leader of the Opposition and the first woman in the state to occupy that post, was assaulted in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. The DMK minister for Public Works, Duraimurugan was at the centre of the controversy, as he allegedly tugged at her saree, which tore in the process. This incident altered the political dynamics of the state. In early 1991, the Centre dismissed the DMK government and Karunanidhi suffered a humbling defeat in the elections held in June. The government in Tamil Nadu alternated between the two Dravidian parties every five years, until the last Assembly election in 2016 which Jayalalithaa managed to win, for a second successive term in office. An important reason for the loss of DMK in 2011 Assembly polls was the corruption allegations against his party and family, most notably the 2G spectrum scam in 2008. The CBI arrested several people in connection with the scam, including DMK member and former telecom minister A Raja and Karunanidhirsquo;s daughter Kanimozhi. Both were subsequently acquitted. Karunanidhi perceived the 2G investigations against DMK members as part of a grand plan by the Congress to dump the party. Vinod Jose for Caravannbsp;reportedthat Karunanidhi had in fact confided to his closest associates that Sonia Gandhi was planning to betray the party, just like her mother-in-law had done several decades back. After Indira won a landslide victory in the general elections of 1971, Karunanidhi felt that she abandoned the DMK and associated with MGR who had left the DMK, in order to gain a stronger foothold for the Congress in Tamil Nadu. Life beyond politics Outside his political life, he was a prolific scriptwriter in the Tamil film industry. He was popular for writing historical stories which furthered the rationalist ideals of the Dravidian movement. He started his writing career with the film Rajakumari in 1947 and this was also the first time that MGR and him were seen together onscreen. Many early MGR films like Abimanyu, Manthiri Kumari, Marutha Naattu Ilavarasi, Naam and Pudhumai Pithan had script and dialogues written by Karunanidhi. Some of his early plays included Manimagudam, Ore Ratham, Thooku Medai, Vellikizhamai, Udhayasooriyan and Silappathikaram. In 2009, a Tamil film, Pen Singham, which had script written by Karunanidhi based on his old novel, was released. In 2010, he wrote his 75th script titled Ilaingan, based on which a film was released later. On the personal front, he married twice and had six children. From his first wife Padmavati, he had a son Muthu. His second wife was Dayaluammal from whom he had sons MK Alagiri, MK Stalin, Thamizharasu and a daughter Selvi. He also had a daughter, Kanimozhi, from his partner Rajathiammal.
