#mentions of kirby lore

[sonicasura]

I've been thinking about my KN8/Kirby crossover, Starry Dreams, again. (My ass still hasn't done the extended versions for BotW/TotK or Blue Exorcist yet. 🥲) Thus why not share more stuff on the fluffier side of things. (We all need it due to the latest chapter.)

Kirby and Kafka's spiritual bond soon shows it affects both in more ways than one. You know how I said that our himbo could use Copy Abilities as a result? Well, any power boosts between the two are shared.

You guessed it then kudos! Kirby gains a new form, Kaiju Kirby, based on Kafka's own Kaiju nature. The appearance is very similar to how Copy Abilities are portrayed in Super Smash Bros which basically sums up to a 'cosplay' of the character.

I do plan on drawing this. Although it's 50/50 on whether Kirby looks like he's wearing a full body mask like the Corrin design or a removable mask that animates yet he can take it off. He is gonna be greenish obsidian in color and have back spikes because I loved it when Copy Abilities changed the pink puff's colors too. (Sucks they removed it over the years.)

You can bet your ass that Kafka fawned over Kirby's new form partly from his kaiju instincts. It's further proof this is his whelp. Kafka's instincts does lead him to do stuff such as proudly presenting the star warrior to his friends. Although now the Defense Force really thinks Kirby is No.8's biological offspring, lol.

Kafka attempts to piece together the 'lore' after each adventure in Dreamland. Considering he cleans up Kaiju corpses for a living, he would try to understand what him and Kirby went against throughout the few years. Although Kafka still wonders who has been leaving tidbits on collectible figures or random notes(based on in-game Pause Screen Descriptions for Bosses).

Our himbo finally finds a new place to call home, an old farmhouse out in the countryside. There are a few reasons for the decision. Kirby has more room to roam about or enjoy a nice nap, the Robobot doesn't have to be holed up in Reno's basement anymore, and Landia has a place to rest. (You can say Kafka's hunch about the four headed dragon wanting to live with them became true.)

Kirby and No.8 grew quite popular amongst the public. The Defense Force did try to put a handle on it as not all of them were keen about the vigilantes. Futaba and Ami threw a massive wrench in their plan when the former began carrying plushies based on the two. Something which led to tons of merchandise that expanded in variety often should No.8 call upon an ally(usually Landia) or Kirby summons the Robobot.

The Third Division gets back together after the base is fully repaired. (Rookies take temporary apprenticeships with the other departments as to fit canon.) Kafka's apprenticeship is put on hold once his secret becomes known to the whole place.

The rest of the Defense Force are unaware as a case is being built for Hibino. Soshiro and Mina want to make sure their friend alongside his companions stay safe from the more dangerous members in the force.(Obvious corrupt higher ups/mad scientists.) This includes looking over the rules and setting up procedures based on available loopholes.

Kirby became a sort of unofficial mascot for the Third Division especially with the female officers. It isn't uncommon to find the pink puffball napping next to Bakko(Mina has taken pictures), doodling as Okonogi works on the Robobot Armor, or playing some games with off-duty Rookies. Kafka is happy that everyone is getting along.

Now I have been thinking about an alternate version of Starry Dreams. This one has a childhood sweethearts type pairing between Kafka, Soshiro, and Mina with Skully showing up around canon. Plus my ass couldn't resist the look on the latter two's faces when their husband comes home with Kirby in hand alongside a towed spaceship.

Kafka would already have the barn house since he figures both of his partners prefer some peace and quiet. They do learn that our himbo can transport others much earlier as Soshiro ends up being an impromptu ally for Kirby 64. How it happens is the two decided to have a lazy day and slept in while Mina was making breakfast. She unfortunately had to watch Soshiro vanish alongside Kafka to Dreamland.

You can bet both our himbo's partners broke some Defense Force rules to help him in these adventures. This includes stealing and modifying their combat suits. It only grows when Kafka's powers alongside Skully come into the picture.

Nothing like an unlikely family to turn the world of Kaiju No.8 upside down.

Taking a moment to touch on some more seasonal aspects of Reaper/Underworld culture! The Annual Office Party™ is an event that is much looked forward to, even if the ensuing consequences may be...less than ideal >:'D

Again, major props to @humming-fly and @alagaesia-overlord for helping put together the brain cells for this and for also let me drag around their OCs like the rag dolls at all times <3

Closeups of the polaroids in the first panel are also under the cut! 👇

I wish I could tell the original artist that this drawing permanently changed the entire direction of my life in 2009. I want to shake their hand, look them in the eye, and admit I would not be who I am today if this drawing didn’t exist.

EDIT: Original artist is @ivynajspyder !!!!

Halley, do you have any fears coming into the tournament

“The more omnipotent contestants intimidate me slightly for reasons I am not able place. Then there are the ‘immortal’ contestants. I will spare you from my spiel on how pretentious that ordeal is. Then there are the ones that have died before… a violation and destruction to the cycle of life no doubt, it is not my job to deal with them at the moment as it is a friendly competition. However, a part of me is curious… how did they achieve such a fate of revival. Was it magic? Was it will? I need to know.”

Featuring several OCs of other folks in the tourney :]

(Directed at Comet and Sol) Is Seam Dee gonna disturb the inn guests if they’re hyped up on coffee? I hope this won’t be bad for business ;-;

(Text in the picture: Both Comet and Sol: "Nope!")

"Seam usually ends up using all their energy on making clothes most of the time they get anything with caffeine!" Comet answers, smiling.

"When they don't work on making clothes, they either run around outside or they use their Ability for... something" Sol blinks, yawning again. "We're not exactly sure what they do when that happens, since they disappear for a few hours afterwards."

"Not even Shadow knows what they do! So, we've taken to keeping anything with caffeine away from them, especially coffee." Comet winks. Sol lets out a sheepish chuckle, blinking slowly.

"Sorry again, Comet..." Sol apologizes, watching as Seam Dee continues to run around energetically. "We should... probably prepare for when they crash..." Comet nods in response, a determined look on their face.

"Right!"

it is midnight I have spent way too long on this holy shit I'm gonna die

HUGE TW FOR GORE UNDER CUT

[gethoce]

Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but does the red lines on Adult Kirby’s armor have any significance? Or is it just a design choice?

The design for the armor was based on the Legendary Air Ride Machine Dragoon and the Star Ally Sparkler, the former of which has those red markings! From a lore perspective, however, the Dragoon's design is modelled after an individual known as Twinkle Popopo, the Dreamer. ~

She was the first ever Dream Matterborn, birthed by the universe itself when there was but one besides her. With her dream magic she expanded the universe, shaping its many currents and keeping them stable to allow for more life to form. She passed away during times most ancient, leaving the universe vulnerable without her influence, a successor to her position yet unfound.

Kirby's armor comes from their own dream matter and sports her likeness solely because they're the one who comes closest to being like she was, bearing the potential to take on her position in the world, notably by accident. Kirby is not at all interested in actually going through with the final motions to obtain the position of The Dreamer. They'd rather live their life in peace without ginormous responsibilities like that.

[perenlop]

age has made me exhausted on many things but one thing i think im especially exhausted and confused on now is kirby shipping discourse. like barring obviously bad shit, why were people having discourse over “incest shipping” characters who had zero implications they were family in canon

The false puffball, Batamon, and Starborn

False Puffballs

False puffballs (Drakon caelestis), more commonly known as pseudopuffs or even just puffballs, are the result of convergent evolution. Nobody is certain how and why they evolved to become near-identical to true puffballs (or Astrals), as true puffballs inevitably outcompete them. False puffballs evolved from true dragons 1.5 billion years ago, and as such, their blood is always a bright lavender hue.

Unlike true puffballs, false puffballs are not purely magical in origin; as far as science is concerned, false puffballs are normal animals (although they have a much higher magical potential than most). False puffballs reproduce asexually and will lay a single egg at a time. Once an egg is laid, it is usually deposited on another planet, where it will remain for roughly one hundred years before hatching. The egg will slowly absorb life energy from the environment around it, which influences the young's physical traits and element(s).

Newly-hatched false puffballs are very independent and are able to fend for themselves immediately after hatching. During their first one thousand years of life, young false puffballs are extremely adaptable and their physical traits will change when their conditions do. They are able to grow new body parts if needed, and body parts that hinder them will fall off. (Attempting to raise a false puffball hatchling is extremely difficult, as they thrive in rough conditions. There are many sad stories of all of a hand-reared hatchling's limbs falling off due to disuse.) For the next three thousand years or so, their wings, horns, tails and other physical traits will lose their malleability and will develop into their final appearance.

False puffballs are fully mature at around five thousand years old; they can live for up to one million years.

While false puffballs tend to develop elemental abilities similar to those of true puffballs, they cannot use copy abilities, inhale, or float. Despite this, false puffballs have the capacity to become incredibly powerful. A famous example is the hero known as Celesta Knight, a false puffball from the faraway Conquest Galaxy who led four other heroes into battle against a terrifying threat and banished it back to the realm from whence it came.

True puffballs instinctively fear false puffballs and many will hunt them. False puffballs are few in areas inhabited by true puffballs. In areas where true puffballs are absent, false puffballs are numerous.

False puffballs can be considered superpredators.

Batamon

When the egg of a false puffball comes in contact with Dark Matter, it becomes infected and will hatch into a Batamon.

It is extremely rare for Batamon to live longer than one thousand years. Those that do will never develop wings, horns, a tail, or any other defining characteristics other than colour. Batamon are unable to use magic and are effectively defenceless. Their bodies are fragile, too, and they tend to prefer avoiding conflict due to being so weak.

Starborn

When the egg of a false puffball comes in contact with a true puffball, it becomes infected and will hatch into a Starborn.

Starborn are functionally identical to normal false puffballs. However, they tend to be more powerful, and can be differentiated from a normal false puffball by looking at the eye; Starborn always have pupils shaped like a four-pointed star, and normal false puffballs do not. Due to it being very unlikely for a true puffball to come across the egg of a false puffball, Starborn are incredibly rare.

In places uninhabited by true puffballs, Starborn are revered.

True Starborn

When the egg of a false puffball comes in contact with an unusually powerful true puffball (known as a blue star Astral), it may absorb the life energy of the true puffball and hatch into a True Starborn.

True Starborn are very similar to regular Starborn, but are even more powerful and rare.

There are currently no True Starborn known to exist, but that will change in the future.

Other Infected False Puffballs

Only Dark Matter and true puffballs have been confirmed to be able to infect false puffball eggs. However, research is underway to determine if false puffball eggs can be infected by pure forms of Dream, Heart, and Soul Matter as well.

Some claim that undead can infect false puffball eggs, but this has yet to be proven.

My brain wants more and more to talk and rant about that one Kirby OC I haven’t finished yet that ‘looks the least like a Kirby OC’. This is because, although she looks the least like one, she is absolutely my favorite out of my Kirby OCs.

I’m still trying to figure out how to draw the hands and legs/feet without it looking…off. After I finally do that, THEN I’ll add the coloring.

I am absolutely up to ranting about this OC I gave the ‘My favorite gets to suffer the most’ treatment if anybody is FINE with it. Might not know how to start the ranting if I do, though.

[thatonepizzaman]

Fuck it

WHOOPSIES J SLIPPED

Fireaoh was a comedian named Mike when he was alive

He was basically a celebrity<3

“.Mike on the mic bringing to you a microphone comedy special!*...

He was a legend to comedians

His best friend was a jester named jinx. Who’s still alive to this day.

He was “friends” with another person called Sasha. Let’s just say Sasha was jealous of his popularity so uh. One day

she lights a match and burns his house. Leaving broski to burn alive!^^

So yea yea that happens and then he’s forced into being a reaper for dying at the wrong time jjfhgjfhh 👍

Yeah he’s been dead for a bit and people still talk about Mike

[red-dragon-archfiend]

Kirby Star Allies is one of, if not my absolute favorite Kirby games, and I recognize while it's on paper one of the weaker entries in the core series, it appeals to me personally on multiple levels and I think I should revisit it more

Big ass lore dump about my kirby/oc lore

MOSTLY to do with ocs. This doesn't even cover everything I didn't even TOUCH on all my detailed headcannons about other characters or the other bits I've written for specific artifacts and places

-Void exists. It creates darkness, souls, hearts and dreams- and with them four gods are born from it, Nyebreus, Anichi, Corluv and Somiro - The first fight between mortals happen and Void becomes inconsolable, as Void is a eternal child they have a breakdown and start destroying their creations left and right, the four matter gods step in to stop them and seal them away- shedding their mortal flesh and becoming full on gods in the process

-The matter gods then leave, and find Paradise, there they'd live and watch over the mortal realm until gods started spawning from the land of paradise-

-Gods in birth order: Faye[light], Aradite[beauty], Avia[wind], Lazoliph[water], Floranya[plants], Kerivika[war], Raver[trickery/chaos], Magiajam[magic], and Fehaili[sleep- somiro dreampt her up so she's technically their kid] -Nyebreus creates dark matter from Void to balance out the now growing Astral population

-One of the astrals becomes a star eater who feeds off of beings of power and huge energy sources, and becomes an eldrich horror

-Magiajam in an attempt to get attention, fights the matter gods, destroys some of paradise accidentally and gets beaten, and banished

-They land on Halcandra and cry, their tears becoming the first halcandrians, they teach and nurture their creation until they decide to try and find paradise again, where they rip out their heart to lead their creation- thus the birth of King Jorrolor -Seeing as Magiajam accidentally created life the other gods decided to purposefully create life, and thus the universe was diversified with new beings

-The star swallower attempts to eat Halcandra, Jorrolor curses his ass and flings him across the unvierse, banning him from even coming close to his planet

-Later Jorrolor would get badly poisoned while fighting a dragon, and become weak to the point where he's on his death bed, knowing his time is nearing he gives his crown to his daughter and crawls to the surface [halcandrians were a burrowing species who lived underground] and gives all his magic to enchant an apple-like artifact he'd carved, then he dies over it before planting it

-Raver creates a face stealing beast that can transform into any person and copy their powers abilities and memories flawlessly. Loses it

-Many many many generations later, a halcandrian king has a bastard child with a maid, the childs name was Misteletenn and would grow to kill off his legitimate siblings and father for the crown, where he got and began his reign as a tyrant king, always hungry for more power. Accumulating more and more every chance he could get

-In another part of the universe, Void began stirring for the first time in eons, and was about to break free! However, four heroes stepped up, they'd been friends for awhile, and their bond would help them seal the void- Rei, Brioche, Azoth and Chiffon, second gen heroes of yore

-After hearing of this, Misteletenn decided "OHH VOID WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD POWER SOURCE" and manipulated Rei into helping him get more power, in turn he'd teach her dark secrets and more magic, curiosity killed the astral though because she became corrupted and evil after finding a way to give some of Void's power to Misteletenn

-Rei killed Brioche on accident after he tried saving her from her own darkness, causing Azoth to turn to necromancy to stop her, and Chiffon had to venture to the deep crystal caverns under ripple star to receive the crystal gun from her goddess Faye. Together, they killed off Rei- who was a world eater astral so she ascended into the goddess of secrets, who'd become a hermit, forever regretting her mortality and chilling out a shit ton because the matter gods are scary

-Back to Misteletenn, during all this he was still ruling Halcandra, now with his own children. His heir he would spoil rotten and shower in love would eventually be the one to stop him, Imiolor would trap her father in his own crown after hearing the pleas of her people and deciding the corruption had gone on too long. -After creating the master crown, she lead the halcandrians to the surface where they began becoming an intergalaxtic superpower -Now going to the prism galaxy with all the fectos, they held a belief that every fecto without color were evil and children of a fake god called "Listah". See, their goddess Fehaili fell into hibernation after creating the fectos, thus they did not know of their true god and due to the colorfulness of their home, created the color gods to worship -Matter overflows are when someones matter composition is in wack, and one of their matters is overflowing- causing them to be incredibly powerful but at a cost of some pretty debilitating side effects that make them both dangerous to others and themselves. So much so that they were seen as a bad omen specifically in the prim galaxy which eventually lead to their discrimination -Divai'kto Laufohkto thought it best to drown the brats the moment their born to prevent any issues, and kill any full grown endcoats- because "Monochrome is an evil color and you're evil" -Fast forward to Abbadon. An endcoat child thrown into the gray lake to drown, but was recued by a cruel fortune teller, who'd abuse him to make money off of his strong psychic abilities due to the dream matter overflow. -Eventually Abbadon would kill him, then become worse and worse, killing to make himself seem strong because he's a deeply depressed teen at this point -He hears Void after attempting to end his own life and misinterprets their words, believing them to ask him to make all life end when they really just wanted the pain of being sealed to end

-Cue: Death cult. Mind control. Bad shit. Fuck Abbadon -The Divai'kto Kalakto is sent to stop him, however she fails and Abbadon indoctornates her into the cult by fucking around her memories and making her dependant on him alone -Later he and Kalakto would kill the rest of the divai'kto council and find the jamba heart, where instead of immediately unsealing Void Abbadon decided to have an heir to follow in his hoofprints after he falls to the lords hand. Thus, Elfilis and Ceraphima are born- though Ceraphim did not survive birth. -Then Abbadon releases Void, it destroys the prism Galaxy, he sends Elfilis through a rift, where he lands in the space near Halcandra and is promptly adopted by two loving noble woman -Heroes of yore time baybe. Bastalor was an effort at revitalizing Halcandra, Magiajam had blessed her because they had returned to Halcandra but refused to interact directly out of guilt and also believeing they should carve their own path, but they couldn't ignore the underlying issues that King Mapolor had made much more appearant, so Bastalor was born. -Morpho was the second reincarnation of Void Termina, born from it's unsealing by Abbadon. They land in Halcandra as a normal astral, carried by the spring breeze -Galacta's an ACTUAL normal astral, and crash landed into the captian of the royal guard's garden who immediately took him in as his son. -The four heroes would later meet and become best friends, solving mysteries and having adventures together, uncovering an old dragon egg and hatching Landia, fighting all kinds of Villains from the past to the shape shifting face stealer to necrodeus -A Zero called Innanis attempts to invade and take over Halcandra, however is sealed within the dark matter immune Queen Bastalor because she couldn't think of a better place to put it -Bastalor would become queen and inherit the master crown, then, she'd start work on the novas, perfecting them within a few years along side countless other magical artifacts

-Morpho and Galacta would fall in love and get married, even adopting an astral daughter by the name Andromeda who all the heroes adored -Nightmare, Bastalor's advisor decided to put his plan to gain ultimate power and get the powerful queen all to himself- first he would kill Morpho with a spear that would immediately kill any who gets stabbed and disintegrate immediately after, wished for by the nova- he then hired an assassin to kill Morpho in the middle of a flower field they took Andromeda to. They became the god of death afterwards and spectated what their friends were doing after as a butterfly. -Nightmare then manipulated the minds of many nobles to hate Galacta, and would then frame him for destroying two neighboring planets [one of which was Lazoliph's] -Bastalor sealed Galacta for this 'crime' and Elfilis left to destroy earth to show Bastalor what a REAL planet destroyer looked like -Depression -Bastalor left, hiding away the master crown and the magitech war was kicked off, both sides attacking eachother over how to go forward after losing their queen. They'd tare apart the castle to find the master crown- the caslt would teleport into AD after getting attacked because of a spell queen Onalor casted -The tech side found the crown, used it to blow up the blue-lava volcano and blown up MOST of the planet, killing off a large chunk of the magic side and also some of their own. But the crown would corrupt and posess it's bearer, casting down more destruction upon halcandra until Landia stopped it, taking the crown for herself and guarding it so no one would get hurt by it again -The magic side was banished, and would be scattered throughout the stars.. Eventually dwindling till there was one remaining settlement and it's people could HARDLY be called halcandrian anymore -as for the tech side, though they won the war they were worse off, trapped in a hellhole that would eventually get mechanized and invaded by the haltmanns in an attempt to steal the blueprints of one of Bastalor's Novas -Going back a bit- Elfilis was captured by humans on the new world and experimented till they used it's rift powers to build the Lor Starcutter and many simular ships and get outta there. Eventually humanity would evolve into two species: magiman and corman- Magiman is the mage sister species and corman is the max haltmann species- susie's a hybrid -Anyways, back to halcandra, immeidantly after the magitech war kicked off Andromeda ran away with Morpho's sword Galaxia [which held the soul of Morpho's blessed mentor], Nightmare was also chased off the planet and became a galaxtic threat, his attempts to gain power caused a group of astrals to band together and form the GSA, which would- with help from Andromeda, seal Nightmare inside of the dream fountains -Andromeda gave Galaxia to Iridescent Knight who used the sword to seal away Dark Nebula on a nowhere planet [popstar] -On said nowhere planet…. There was a lonely penguin that was far from home. He wished upon a star, and the star crashed into him. That's how Meta and DDD met, and they'd go on adventure and accidentally release dark nebula cause meta was geeking out about Galaxia and took the sword, they sealed it in a BOX with NO magical seals and swore to never speak of it again. -Later, on another far off planet the last descendants of halcandra falls to a plague carried by a god cursed rain [Thanks Raver], only one kit survives this event, Maporei who changes his name to Magolor and embarks on a journey to find the legendary halcandra, lor starcutter and master crown -Hyness finds the mage sisters -Years later, a spring breeze blows through popstar... -The kirby games happen from here

thing i just thought (AU LORE ALERT!!!)

i gave lyrics from this song (the judgement part/ 3:20 mark to be exact) for my ocs from the KoTS AU

imma put this below read more for convenience

(Includes KoTS four heroes lore, and spoiler for my plan)

Too concealing, cold and unfeeling; (Tenma)

too hot-headed, lying and stealing (Ferrum)

Too confusing, selfishly choosing; (Doctor)

too much pride, you can’t fathom losing (Aeon)

Too deceiving, not worth believing; (Magolor)

too much noise, and lacking in meaning (Halcandrans of Light)

Too far-straying, half-hearted praying– one more soul uncontent. (Void)

Too small-minded, bitterly reminded; (Ibaraki/Rose)

lost in a song, you leave yourself blinded (Mailor and Zyllor)

Unforgiving, merely just living, you who are taking far more than giving (Ares)

End your ruses where the bad news is; (???)

do what you must, or drown in excuses (four season crew)

Bear your burden, get the last word in– (Kirby)

know your sins and repent! (Yama/Enma/Vey)

[cloud-the-forgotten]

Hey there, Seam Dee! I’m curious, when did you find your passion for designing clothes, and what was the first item of clothing you ever made?

- from Cosmo @poppybros-jr

(Placing most of this under a readmore since this gets a little long!)

(Text in the picture: "You'd probably think I made a shirt or pants, but...")

"The first thing I made was a pair of nightcaps for my siblings, Comet and Sol!"

"After the Incident, Comet and Sol's original nightcaps were really damaged. I tried to patch them up, but it wasn't the same. So I decided to make some newer, better nightcaps for them!"

"I spent a whole bunch of all-nighters making them, but seeing their happy faces was worth it! Looking back on it, all that time I spent working on those nightcaps, I was having so much fun that I couldn't even feel any stress!"

"I guess that's when I realized my passion for it!"
