Aaaaand next off the checklist is Manager Magolor, it seems! I feel the need to clarify this is a while post-RtDL and most likely post-Star Allies too (and probably post-much-needed-therapy) given the temporally anomalous nature of Merry Magoland.

I also feel the need to clarify something weird I said in the initial theory post, even though it most likely goes without saying given some of the design decisions I made here and the sheer power of saying “you know what I mean”, but I think I finally have my thoughts coherently together about The Discourse. Going under the cut given that it is about The Discourse, and also about my personal experience with gender, transition, and internalized misogyny.

First off, if you don’t know what I mean by The Discourse, or why the heck I’m drawing Magolor as a Doomer and not a catboy, in the latter case see my previous posts, and in the former case, there was a line added in Return to Dream Land Deluxe for 100%ing the game where Magolor says he was lying about being from Halcandra. Now I’m not particularly entrenched in the Kirby fandom and generally avoid discourse, but even I’ve seen a lot of people say they think this lore addition was bad and stupid. I totally understand wanting to ignore it, given that the fanbase at large is full of Magolor likers that have elaborate headcanons about Magolor as a Halcandran, and various worldbuilding about Halcandra and the Ancients as informed by the concept. Personally, I had no previous stake in this given that the lore addition was actually the catalyst that got me to really care about Magolor in the first place, and obviously I think it’s interesting to extrapolate from.

Now, the ostensible gut reaction to finding out that Magolor has just been dressing up as an Ancient this whole time is to get really nervous about cultural appropriation. I personally think it’s likely to be more nuanced than a cut-and-dry case of an oppressor stealing from the culture of the oppressed, but given how little we actually know about the Ancients’ place in the Kirby universe both at their height and in the present day, and the fact that I myself am a white American, I’ll just cite Metal General’s RtDLdx pause screen lore, whatever the heck Grand Doomer has going on, and the short story Passing by Nella Larsen (Ok hi! Anxiety-ridden Kit from a week and a half later coming in to clarify that I’m not trying to equate funny little video game aliens to the severity of real life race struggles. As with everything please give me the benefit of the doubt in believing that I have good intentions and understand that there’s nuance but am just not the greatest at talking or thinking and I’m fighting for my life in here[my brain] ok thx bye) that I read in high school as sources for my personal thoughts, and leave the discussion on that subject there. (Oh, I also do like to think about the fact that he said he’s been studying the remnants of the Ancient civilization in Halcandra, for years, alone. Not much of anything with a concrete point to say about that though)

When I last talked about this in my theory post I said I saw it “more like uhhhh trans coding, kinda” and of course drawing this design forced me to confront the question of: now what the heck did I mean I mean by that, exactly?? Well, I thought about it more, and I realized that the much simpler thing to compare it to would be any teen coming-of-age movie where the protagonist dresses up as someone they aren’t because they don’t like who they are until they learn to accept and express themself for who they really are, though this message’s impact is often obfuscated somewhat in practice by Hollywood’s double gut-punch of beauty standards and misogyny. But as for what I was more closely reminded of when I called it trans coding, it was, as it often is, my own complicated journey with gender.

Speaking of, I realize I haven’t been very talkative on tumblr in several years, preferring to talk with close friends on discord rather than with the wider internet and you all know me as afab nb, so I suppose this is the time to come out as… cis, actually. Or rather, uh, transgender/cisgender/genderqueer/nonbinary/female. (Perhaps you can tell why I generally talk about this with people who already know me.) You know how it starts. I never really felt like I fit in with girls growing up, I held disdain for people who were “too girly”, I generally only made friends with nerdy guys, avoided wearing makeup, didn’t care overly much about how I dressed.

Then, five years ago, I discovered that being referred to as “they” made me really happy. I never experienced body dysphoria, but I liked to be able to have a flat chest sometimes. These are things that are still true about me. But feeling decoupled from the concept of womanhood, and, of course, simply growing as a person over time, allowed me to reassess my feelings and internal biases on it. I discovered I have very particular aesthetic preferences, some of which are traditionally very feminine. I started getting into fashion and sewing and started to be happy rather than ambivalent about the way I present myself. (I still don’t wear makeup barely at all.) I realized that what gender you are doesn’t have to mean anything about your particular gender presentation, and that your particular gender presentation doesn’t have to mean anything about what gender you are. I’m still addressing my own internalized misogyny every day, though I like to think I’ve gotten better about it. I’ve learned more about being queer and I’ve learned more about myself.

Over the years I’ve been slowly swinging back around to being comfortable identifying as a woman, and I’m not 100% there yet (I still have a bit of a dysphoric gut reaction to other people referring to me as female, I’ll likely always prefer they/them on the internet at least, and man oh man don’t even get me started on the religion thing. It’s even more complicated somehow and I have trouble talking about it even with close friends and family. I often feel caught between sides on a lot of things just because there’s just very few people who understand wholly where I’m coming from. For one thing, do you know how many weird reactions I’ve gotten to telling people I’m aroace and also getting married in two months? From all kinds of folks), but yeah. That’s how it is. Definitely genderqueer regardless what happens.

So uh, what the heck does any of this have to do with Maggie? I just have a relatively similar thought process regarding him. Uh, metaphorically, I mean; not necessarily with regards to gender. His gijinka designs have definitely turned out really genderqueer but as I’ve said before, this is just what happens whenever I get my little baby hands on new favorite male characters, especially given my penchant for selectively feminine aesthetics and the fact that I’ve never really learned how to draw cis men all that well. He’s also just really hard to put in pants & I wanna show the legs off, I paid money for those

Now for the million dollar question. Do I think any of my interpretation is how HAL actually intended it? Perhaps, but they seem to often leave deep lore things like this deliberately open-ended. So do I think they’re gonna actually do anything with it and make Magolor stop dressing up like an Ancient? Probably not, especially given that the lore bit is a reward for 100%ing the game, practically an easter egg at that point. Magolor is probably the one character who they’re most willing to give new outfits to, but I don’t see that extending to his mainline canon appearance. I think Kirby is a bit too much of a mascot-based franchise to comfortably depart from iconic aspects of their characters for that. They still haven’t given poor Taranza his own theme that isn’t a remix of Dedede’s, for crying out loud.

End of thoughts. Usual disclaimer that I am just one person with limited knowledge and judgement. I wanted to write out this clarification because I was worried my previous comments might look weird in isolation and because I know my Magolor headcanons are very intrinsically tied to The Discourse. It honestly kinda sucks a bit cause while it has been nice to be drawing again, I’ve also been relentlessly serotonin-seeking and I’m way too hungry for interaction & engagement on this, especially given how niche its particular appeal is. Ask box is always open but be warned I have no qualms about setting boundaries and won’t answer anything I don’t want to. Thanks for reading! - Love, Catboy “🪺” Discourse

Let's Throw a Party by Sammy Rae & The Friends is the ultimate song to describe my MC. Also, love you okay bye

I love you too!

I love that! I think I'll make an MC Playlist for you all and just have an eclectic bunch of music for you all to enjoy (with some things thrown in that may, or may not, be hints).

Thank you so much for sharing this song recommendation with me!

[journey-to-the-attic]

Can only imagine the absolute tears I'll shed when IK is gonna have to go back to the human realm.I can see myself sobbing uncontrollably on the floor.

(Seeing how good you are with angst, I'm scared to see what you'll write when the time comes...)

((love you tho <333))

if it's any consolation, at least you won't exceed mammon's tears once he remembers he won't be able to hang out with his little bestie forever (that doesn't help does it)

jokes aside, rest assured it won't be super sad!! more 'see you soon' than 'farewell', since it's not like they'll never see each other again (though it'll definitely be bittersweet)

[angels444yuri]

i love you :)

you have no idea how happy i am to have received this. it's like a prized possession to me

[picnokinesis]

bro what fics do you recommend and why is it the demons have the phonebox by theplatinthehat

BRO I absolutely recommend The Demons Have the Phonebox by theplatinthehat because that fic is just the BEST, like what more could you want from a fic? Hijinks ensue! Chaos! Drama! Unicorn Frappes in the UK! Donna Noble being iconic! Crowley being his brilliant self! The Bentley! It's the Good Omens/Doctor Who crossover of our DREAMS with a witty title and even wittier dialogue! Neil Gaiman himself quivers in fear of its awesome power and everyone who's watching gomens s2 (unlike me) should go and read it IMMEDIATLEY - oh, what's that? You already read it? Well, did you know that there's a sequel to The Demons Have the Phonebox? Yes, that's right! It's an intergalactic epic of astronomical proportions! It doesn't get better than this, folks, so what are you waiting for? Go check 'em both out right over here:

>>>>The Demons Have the Phonebox<<<<

>>>My Money's on an Intergalactic Cock-Up<<<

Also, did you know that not only does the sequel have INCREDIBLE writing, it also has BEAUTIFUL artwork to go along with it!! And not only THAT, but both fics were betaed by none other than me :) And honestly that fact alone means it's obviously worth reading obviously, so off you all pop!

Heyy! this is just a small(ish) rant that I though wouldn't nesseserily relate with, but you understand and could possibly give me some advice on.

so basically, I know your Colombian and so am I (well half because of my mum). my dad is Jamaican and I was born in Jamaica, then after of a year of me being there my family and me moved to England so I was raised there. but the problem is that my family was never ever practiced my Colombian side/culture.

dont get me wrong, I love the Jamaican culture and how strong and passionate Jamaicans are, but ive always wanted to embrace my Colombian side and im looking to do that more by my self now im a little over and I can make my own decisions.

I honestly have no idea about my Colombian side and surprisingly my mum had never really claimed it. so I know NOTHING about it. I really wanna learn more about it and wanna learn Spanish but I have no idea on where to start so im seeing if you maybe have any advice for me on what to do? I LOVE YOU!!!

Uhm well, first of all, bienvenida hermana colombiana... let's see, you can start by looking for what specific place your mom is from and from there see what traditions are specific to her place of birth, because in every region of Colombia, traditions are different. But uh, I'll make a small list of festivities that we do around here in the whole country…

We have Día de Velitas, we celebrate it on December 7th and it has a religious connotation, but you don't necessarily have to be catholic to celebrate it, you just get together with your family and light candles (each candle you light can be a wish or goal for the next year), there is food such as buñuelos and natilla.

Our Independence Day is July 20, not much is done on that day, it is a holiday and usually, at least in the capital, there is a parade of military aircraft.

We celebrate Christmas on December 24, or something like that, that day we wait until midnight to open the presents and have dinner with the family.

We have Holy Week too, usually in schools and universities they give all that week as a little vacation, everything is very religious, I personally do not celebrate that week but if you do it's ok.

Oh, we also have 18 to 20 holidays throughout the year, so those days we are not going to study or work, since Colombia is the country of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, all those holidays belong to saints or martyrs. As I mentioned, I don't believe in any of that, so those days are for resting hehe.

You mentioned that you want to learn Spanish, that's great, although I warn you that it can be a bit complicated language because it has too many grammatical rules, but if you want to start, listening to music in Spanish with subtitles helps a lot, you can also use Duolingo, it's a classic and if you can afford classes or get a tutor, it would be the best, but if not, learning empirically on your own also works, that's how I learned English.

I hope this is helpful, I was a little surprised when I saw your question and I wanted to answer as best as possible, if you have more questions, do not hesitate to write me on dm.

You know friend, if you need anything, text me :D

[retro-rezz-the-est]
