#meanwhile DDD and Bow will jump into every puddle they see

[veinsfullofstars]

🌧️ Memories of rainy days ☔

(ID: Kirby series fanart of young Dedede, Meta, Para Dee, and Bow Dee having fun and enjoying the spring rain, the grass below their feet covered in puddles and dotted with little white flowers. More detailed descriptions below the cut. END ID.)

When having a friend with a proficiency in umbrella actually comes in handy for once.

Sketch started btw 11/23 and 04/24, render started 04/13/24, finished 04/19/24, updated for color correction 11/02/24. | Childhood Friends AU Masterpost

Left: The four huddle together in the rain under Para’s green-plaid parasol, magically expanded to cover all of them and sparkling with little glowing stars. DDD stands in the center wearing an orange-and-red raincoat, looking up in wide-eyed awe. Para sits on his shoulder, easily carrying his oversized parasol and gazing at the rain with smiling, starry eyes. Bow bounces joyfully on DDD's left (our right), dappled in droplets with her arms raised high, laughing as she splashes in a puddle. Meta presses close to DDD’s other side (our left), tugging the hood of his little purple raincoat over his head to protect it from rogue drops, a slightly annoyed expression on his face.

Top right: Para steps forward under his parasol (normal-sized), a hand over his eye as if searching for something, a word bubble over his head showing Bow’s ribbon and a question mark. Behind him, Bow - implausibly submerged right up to her eyes in a shallow puddle - peeks at her friend with a mischievous expression, a though bubble over head head showing a shark’s fin in water.

Bottom right: Meta stands at the edge of a large puddle in the grass, leaning over to peer down into it, a hand on his cheek and a curious expression on his face. His reflection does the same, sporting a color palette of blacks and reds, one brow furrowed in confusion.
