All I ask for this shot to show up and I will be okay...

This shot is also hilarious to me because it's the last shot of chapter 310. The chapter ended on Midoriya eating the food Dad... I mean All Might gave him! That is freaking adorable!

The kirby fanfiction rec list for people on the r/kirby discord server because i mentioned i wanted to make one and people said i should

(technically a repost from a google doc i made to share there but i figured tumblr might appreciate it too)

Alright kirbros, let’s get into it.

These are in no particular order; you should give all of these fics a read IMO.

First up, let’s get the easy ones out of the way,

Kirby on the flipside by ProminenceFlare is the most popular Kirby fanfiction on ao3. Ok technichally that spot is taken by some dumb MHA fanfic that doesn't even have a single Kirby character in it but thats not the point; KotFs is THE Kirby fanfic. Theres plenty of game/anime crossovers out there but this one takes the cake. Its 300 thousand words long for christs sake, and it’s a GREAT 300 thousand words. If you haven't read KotFs, you haven't read much Kirby fanfiction i imagine. It does not disappoint. Theres also a sequel fic in the works although currently it’s on a break, but it is also just as good as the original.

Second of all is actually a series, Heart and soul by post_it_notes7. This is another game/anime crossover but in an interesting twist. The premise is that Meta Knight, long before the events of Krbay, sought to fight galacta knight in order to become stronger and hopefully defeat nightmare. He does this, and galacta is resealed. Now in the present, nightmare has been defeated by Kirby, and all is good and well, right? NOPE, galacta knight has escaped his seal and is out to reclaim his title as the strongest warrior in the galaxy. Its technichally NOT a metagala fic, it instead focuses more on a friendship between the two. Im not really a shipping person so i actually really enjoy this, their personalities clash well and they get plenty of banter. The full series combined as of now just barely beats Kirby on the flipside (not counting KotFs's sequel, Kirby's dream trials) at 310 thousand words.

Okay, chances are if youre into Kirby fanfiction you’ve already read those two, however a series you may not have seen is PinkestMenace's Planet of Possibilities, Special Treats and Rest (haha get it it spells popstar).

Now I would suggest reading most of these, but if you don’t want to read all of them theres a few key ones that are my favourites.

Control halt delete goes into meta knight’s role in Kirby planet robobot, it’s a fun, somewhat angsty fic recounting the uh, ‘modifications’ star dream and Susie put him through. Its good.

Let the games begin! Is another good one, its quite short, but a fun read.

Do Starry Knights Dream of Eternal Sleep? is a much more angsty fic, focusing on that old “meta knight is a creation of nightmare” headcanon from the anime fandom. It is a very good fic but I will warn you its got some more harsh content in it including some self-harm/loathing-adjacent moments, and as with all fanfiction I recommend reading the tags before reading. If you are comfortable with that though, it’s a great read!

Rocks Fall, Everyone Flies is by far my favourite fic in this series, its got some great character interactions and storyline. The story is reminiscent of the Kirby novels, if the Kirby novels were not childrens books and were instead horror novels. I jest, but this story does have some good spooky content and moments. Its gives good attention to all four of the dream land gang and is another great read.

Alright that’s all for the POPSTAR series, there are other fics in that series but those are the ones Im interested in, I would suggest checking out the rest of their fics however if you are interested!

Where Were the meta-knights? By purblegaymer Is one of my absolute favourites, up there with Heart and Soul. It’s a ‘missing scene’ fic, going into where the meta knights were in those episodes where they were missing, as well as giving us a look at meta knights dumb internal thoughts throughout certain episodes. It’s a long but very good read, going into meta knight’s thoughts and personality in the anime. It’s a very good read, would absolutely recommend to any anime fans.

That’s been a lot of meta knight adjacent fics, eh? Don’t worry, I’ve got other character-centric fics. For example…

Stuck With The Lor by Azzie_Tangerine Focuses on magolor after he escapes from another dimension and tries to live in the dream kingdom. However the Lor, missing its captain, decides to show up and lock magolor in his ship so it can give the poor cat some therapy. Okay that’s not ENTIRELY how it goes but it is the basic premise. The fic goes more into magolor’s guilt and experience with the master crown, creates some fun lore for the uh, Lor, and is a good exploration into how the two’s relationship. Would definitely recommend this one for any magolor fans, 100%.

How King Dedede founded Christmas by NWTGMR is both hilarious and heartwarming. I think this fic might have one of the best portrayals of dededes personality in fan content I’ve seen, with the perfect mix between big soft man and petty jerk. I would definitely recommend giving this one a read, even if it’s not Christmas you will enjoy it.

Half Blind Date by Azzie_Tangerine (again, they’ve got some good fics) is the sole reason why I ship taransusie, which is funny because as I said earlier im not very big on shipping, but this one is too good to refuse. Taransusie is kind of a rarepair in the scope of Kirby ships (definitely not the rarest, but its not too common either), but this fic is very fun nonetheless! Please don’t take a drinking game at how many times ive said the word ‘fun’ in this list so far. Anyway, very good read, would recommend if youre a fan of either taranza or Susie!

Oh, actually, while we’re here, why not recommend Books Are Stupid, Anyways!, also by Azzie_tangerine. It’s a Kirby and prince fluff fic. Very cute, nuff’ said.

Youth by katrinasis is a pre-canon story recounting how king dedede and meta knight met, its cute and pretty fun. Good read even if youre not really into metadede.

He May Even Dream Again by voidknight is a fic that focuses on… Gooey of all characters! Yeah, gooey isn’t really the star of many fics, but this one gives him the spotlight! Mostly focuses on gooey’s relationship to dark matter, its in second person but somehow manages to make it work. Its fun, its cool, perhaps its even ‘neat’. Give it a read, if you want.

The List of Things Dark Meta Knight is Forbidden To Do by WarioCart Is… a fic (I say this positively). Based on that one Scp story I think, TLoTDMKiFTD is both a mouthful to say and a great fic. Its got some good humour, and just in general really funny. If youre too bummed out by angsty fic id recommend this one.

And… That’s about it, really. There are plenty of good Kirby fanfiction out there, but that’s all I really can think of (and have time for) today.

Wait actually, before I go, I should recommend The Olde Switcheroo by TripleMK, its another game/anime crossover but it focuses on dedede, its currently in the works but has updated recently. It’s a good one!

HELP

bak-u-go theory was kinda funny until it wasn't...

[avis-fictional-world]

I love to think about this analysis, so I’m sharing it! ☺️ I posted this on my Twitter and am just posting it here, with some spelling corrections.

I want to point out how AFO lived versus how he kept Yoichi. ch. 310 ch 408. Afo had a grand view and open space with good food. Meanwhile Yoichi was trapped in isolation and darkness. It's so messed up. But it also highlights Yoichi's objectification by afo.

Ultimately, it's the framework & base of many relationships in the series. In its raw form, AFO is possessive and objectifies Yoichi. There is a question of whether or not AFO actually loves Yoichi; whatever the answer is, he isn't able to move past being self-serving w/ his love

It's the difference b/t being treated humanely vs being stripped of all agency & autonomy. Yoichi's & AFO's relationship is a mirror, reflection & even foil to many of the conflicts/ relationships in mha, including Bakugou& deku, Endeavor & his family. Even toga & Uraraka etc

I’ll post more some other time and not write the analysis so off the cuff

MHA #406 review lite

Yeah, normally I do a “leak reactions” post but the timing for that didn’t work out, so instead I’m looking at the full chapter! (Reminder for newcomers: I don’t look at leaked images or fanscans until after the official chapter is out.)

Aoyama and Hagakure are adorable — love how he puts his jacket around her and is using his bare hands to direct his navel laser. Now update me on how Fatgum is doing!!!

We finally get our first view of Gashly and, I believe, our first Ryukyu sighting during this battle!

Tsukauchi is falling apart more and more each chapter. Horikoshi is delighting in torturing this man.

Nagant’s lying down on a rooftop. All Might and Edgeshot are lying down on rooftops. Is the Rooftop Trio on a rooftop?? Only time will tell.

Speaking of not looking so good, Izuku is huffing and has some really dark rings around his eyes. He dramatically says “it ends here, go beyond” and…we cut to Bakugo and AFO just as Izuku looks like his middle finger is about to Gearshift + Air Force flick Tomura into next year.

Love how Bakugo calls AFO a filler character as AFO calls him a pointless pebble. I especially like how the English translation uses the “pebble in my path” phrase that Bakugo previously used to describe Izuku. (I haven’t checked yet to see if the Spanish versions use the same lines.)

I know there’s a lot of discourse surrounding Bakugo’s power up, but it reads to me like it’s not a new “power” so to speak. Rather he’s using his honed instinct and insight into his own body (remember how he’s always coming up with new ultimate moves on his own?). But, instead of focusing on the outcome (e.g., victory, or being the strongest) he’s focusing on the process. Much like All Might recapturing his own smile from the joy of helping others, Katsuki is finding joy in the simple act of pushing himself and his quirk. That’s something AFO doesn’t understand. As much as he wants to live forever and mess around with quirks forever, he really only enjoys simple quirks that combine well with others. AFO doesn’t like the process of exploring his quirks or honing his skills with them.

Seeing Mitsuki and Masaru cry is giving me FEELINGS. Horikoshi didn’t have to include them but he did and oof.

AFO talks about “the hatred I harbor” for Second, whose name is revealed as Kudo. Kudo is, apparently, the one that AFO loathes “above all others” — even All Might, apparently?? — because it Kudo hadn’t reached out his hand to Yoichi, then OFA wouldn’t have been created. This is AFO’s side of the story we heard from Yoichi way back in Chapter 310: “The moment you [Kudo] reached out your hand to me was when One for All was truly born.” After Chapter 369 came out last year, I wrote some meta about why AFO might be crying while he force chokes Kudo, and ventured a guess that AFO harbored a deep hatred for Kudo, either because he created OFA or possibly because they knew each other. I don’t think there’s anything in 406 that changes those posts significantly, though it does seem that AFO’s hatred for Kudo lies primarily in the fact that he reached out his hand to Yoichi….though AFO still knew an awful lot about Gearshift and how it was “supposed” to work…

Ugh, I really, really want the OFA/AFO backstory now. Like if it’s 3-8 chapters of backstory I’m ok with that as a breather/precursor for Izuku vs Tomura (see bullet #5 above re Izuku about to exhaust his body from overuse of Gearshift).

Finally…I LOVE KATSUKI CALLING HIMSELF “KACCHAN”!!!! Izuku reclaimed “Deku” a long time ago with help from Ochako, and now Katsuki is embracing “Kacchan” with help from Izuku. Yes, Bakugo’s hero name is still Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, and that name was fully approved by All Might last chapter. In 406, however, Katsuki is referring to himself as a civilian and using the name “Kacchan” with no fear whatsoever of sounding diminutive in front of AFO (or the cameras) …and it’s absolutely beautiful and I love it. He’s not posturing one bit, he’s free to be fully himself, and even his parents can tell. He gleefully taunts AFO about being senile despite AFO looking like a child, which is just the perfect amount of teen boy prickishness that this fight needs.

MHA CHP312-316 (Lady Nagant, and why should i give a shit?)

Nagant is one of the most irrelevant DLC additions to the Horikoshi “Who gives a shit” character gallery since that Clown jackass with Bunny ears named “Mirko”

The artist in me admires the man’s sketching skills, what he achieved in concept only. 

Horikoshi can draw his ass off, but holy shit his writing is tripe.

We see this chic in the prison break at the end of Jaku arc 296-300, she just shows up behind Deku 310-312, we get a fight, then her backstory:

 (in true Horikoshi fashion) 

completely interrupts the goddamn fight, fucking the momentum of the fight in the ass, as usual-

Granted, Flashbacks in fights can work, GI JOE Resolute Snake eyes vs Storm Shadow or Gundam SEED, depending on the pace of the fight, and if the information is crucial.

What she revealed was not new information. Hero Society is corrupt, okay. Got it.

She just revealed she was basically a hitman for them, okay, big deal. 

And to top it off, we DON’T KNOW this bitch to justify why we should care. 

No hints of vulnerability beforehand, duality, character beats, actual time to spend with her so a backstory can actually make me give a shit, a favorite color? nothing- no relevant information prior

So why are we getting a backstory on her like she’s been in the story as long as Jeanist or Hawks.

 And if we're going to get one this soon, why haven't we gotten any quality time to identify with her?

Then immediately after this blood riddled backstory, Deku saving a certain returning character & then stopping her fall was enough to sway her trauma, PTSD, and disillusioned faith in the system.

Saying “He’s a real hero” or “You’re the real deal” basically sucking him off like everyone else

Deku is a special boy everyone, true special snowflake. It must be true because everyone in the story keeps repeating it over and over and over. 

Now, childhood trauma or disillusionment isn’t something you can just turn off with a good deed, ask Bruce Banner, Bruce Wayne or Jason Todd, or Homelander

This woman was an assassination, trained from childhood, a cheapass Deadshot with tits. 

So she’s seen and done some shit.

This brat saving one guy was enough for her to go: “Guess i was wrong”

THEN after this immediately goes boom......

Hawks “I know you well”

Too bad we don’t lmfao, literally.

One backstory doesn’t substitute INVESTMENT. Which takes effort, time, and vision. Horikoshi.

Then Hawks is screaming at her after she gets murked, reiterating her importance as to who she is & what she still has to do in this world, WHEN I DON’T know who the fuck she is.

This is like King Bumi showing up during the Eclipse arc in S3, except we don’t get any of the episodes beforehand establishing his character, or his connection to Aang.

He just shows up. And he’s imprisoned, and Aang cares about this but we don’t know this guy so how are we supposed to care.

Her combat debut, her backstory, and she gets mortally wounded in the same situation. 

That’s some fucked up pacing my guy.

And he didn’t have the balls to kill her, ALL FOR ONE yet again failing to kill someone who’s Quirk has nothing to do with endurance. 

So how IN THE actual the fuck did she survive this:

POINT.BLANK.

Trash.

Stop making my man AFO look weak.

There were people in the comment section really reacting to her getting bodied like we know her like that. 

We have more history with Deku’s HOSPITAL bed than this DLC waifu. Which is where her value is coming from, the fact that she’s another Kohei waifu insert that people are drooling over because 

“Exist as a remotely attractive female and thus you have innate value to the fandom, nothing else matters about your character.” 

Not that she actually matters or she has an identity or a stake in what’s going, she just “purdy”

That’s all it takes, and it pisses me off only because these Authors know that lmfao. Bare bones, bare minimum.

I guarantee you if she was plain looking face like Helga Pataki, with a more realistic body type, BUT she’s better written this time. 

She wouldn’t be getting as many simps.

Guarantee it.

All in all, i’ve never had such a headache in one fight before in a manga since the Naruto exams, this was narrative whiplash. 

She really just showed up in 297, now we get this shit like she’s established.

Nagant just showed up to peace tf out lmfao.
