these paper wasps(?) would fly up under our roof overhang every day when it got too hot to exist, and they would just chill for a few hours until the horrible sun went away. apparently they liked it so much they've now stashed three children up there! (central tx)

I'm glad they're enjoying their new home! Hope they have many cute children :)

reply roundup!

reminder that there's actual stuff on the patreon once again, link in the pinned post :)

@capitalismdisruptedmybarbeque added an [image description] for blanket, thank you!

also thank you for all the boops, what a good website feature.

@optimus-jetpack asked: What is your favorite Kirby game? Probably asked before but I'm new to Tumblr and I love your drawings

my actual favorite is epic yarn, but if we're talking mainline only it's either crystal shards or forgotten land! I grew up with crystal shards and the design in forgotten land is super charming (as is the design in epic yarn lol). and thank you!

how does it feel to be the funniest person on this website? I still think about this and it's been 2 months.

on [quicksand] @graycoin said: Yeah...that sounds like a rough day. :/ I hope all that leads to something better, at least.

thanks. I'll get the rest of the paperwork turned in this month and then we'll see I guess -n- (and thanks for all your other supportive words too)

on [pudding] @xurkitreeking said: I want to eat your art, i feel like it would make a satisfyingly cronch like one of those puffed air chip

omg that's so nice??? like puffed rice or something yeah, I can totally see what you mean

on [pudding] @ceylonsilvergirl said: I know things like spills are technically so small, but when you’re already at the end of your rope it’s fascinating how something like this can send you into a crying fit. you held it together so well for so long, and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back

ugh yeah sometimes when there's already So Much you just look at it and you're like. haven't I already been through enough. but it's like, kind of a "safe" thing to get upset about? because it's obvious to anyone there that it happened and that it's unambiguously negative, even if it is only minor, and it's also not like you're taking space away from someone else or whatever.

on [reborn] @ceylonsilvergirl said: I’m not allowed to watch any more, after I laughed so hard I gave myself an asthma attack

that's so tragic, this world is in shambles

they also did a delightful [expansion] of [outline] that's just so fun honestly, I love that every single object has the same gormless expression that kirby already had lol

on [bug] @theraphos said: me irl, literally i was about to clean the tub earlier and noticed this baby spider that was seriously just a fuckin. dot. i somehow managed to get it in a cup unharmed

whenever there's a spider in like, the shower, or the sink, I always worry so much about it going unnoticed and getting drowned until I know it's moved somewhere safer (we are a pro-spider household)

on [injection] @fakejtwelve said: I hope new meds work well for you 💜

thank you! so far I feel about as bad as usual except that my nose is finally not congested. which I guess is something. (it usually takes a couple months to really kick in so there is still grounds for hope!)

on [ghost] @11-eyed-rook said: this purple is a good purple thank you

there are many good purples in the world :)

anonymous asked: what is kirby's favorite swear word

honestly I think he's partial to "fuck", it's just got a good arrangement of consonants in it. easy to apply forcefully to a variety of scenarios.

on [eyebrows] @joekingv1 said: *asks baby what is their secret*

they definitely do not have a brown marker hidden behind their back :) don't bother checking you can trust them :)

on [pumpkin] @beardedhandstoadshark said: oh my god. Look at the lad. so round, so happy, so pumped (ha) to be here. no candles in and already glowing. happy halloween to everyone but especially this pumpkin (also as someone who can't cut circles for the life of me, let alone small ones, this seems genuinely impressive)

thanks! tbh my partner just handed me a steak knife and let me go, I smoothed it out some by just kinda like, jamming a finger in there to mush down any particularly jagged parts. it was a small pumpkin which probably helped.

@edgywithaheart asked: opinions on terminalmontages kirbo ?

excellent shape, excellent face. not all the jokes are For Me but clearly others enjoy them.

[arsonistmoth]

TWO OF THEM. Bell cannot get a goaty break it seems. WHOOPS.

ty for this goat is real update i have been given blessing

[serv0z]

[starkat-cosmickitty]

[arsonistmoth]

@cyberstarlope

I had this on my mind for a while now lmao i love putting lots of teeth on stuff

[kind-of-a-shitty-wizard]

POV: you just exited Haskill's dialogue tree. these are from the voice file folders that @theraphos was able to get from the game, seriously thank you thank you thank you th

[onenicebugperday]

I think someone is stashing their children way up above the front door!

Ohhh.......kids in there

[kirby-the-gorb]

reply roundup!

highlights:

there’s an etsy boycott until next week (april 18th) to protest increasing fees and other shady nonsense

I’m still very tired >n<

just a short one today.

on [the last roundup]:

@theraphos said: haha "tag yourself I'm sleep kirby" just ended up being my tag for sleep kirby anything cause I used it so much (same w/gooey) and I forgot it does look silly oops :9

that might make it even funnier tbh XD it’s certainly cute.

@ceylonsilvergirl was playing [spot] the [boy] on the tiny kirb drawings which is very cute tbh

on [tinier]:

@ceylonsilvergirl said: I think our pink friend might be shrinking. that tiny • – • is killing me tho. if you think about it, white blood cells are essentially microscopic kirbys. kirbies? what is the plural? I’ve officially lost my mind 🙃

I usually use “kirbies” but I don’t know that there’s actually a standard. and there’s many types of white blood cells but you’re right that there is one particular type that just finds things labeled “enemy” by the helper cells and straight-up eats them, which is very kirb-like behavior XD

on [hat]:

@mirioluigi said: time to put a bow on my hat

>:3 do it

@kirborb said: hat :) a fashionable baby!!! and u draw them so well op it's always a delight to see ur art!!

thank you! they deserve to wear cute little clothes from time to time.

thank you for the well wishes on [nap] and on [ocean], unfortunately due to the nature of chronic illness it will continue to come and go but I am trying to find longer-term solutions.

on [>:3c]:

@j-whirl44 said: how did you get this picture of me

@zer0cracy said: Oh this is my gf to a T 

both of these replies made me go “>:3c hehehehe”

from the ask box:

anonymous said: Hi! I love your art! Can’t get enough Kirby on my dash. Kirby canonically uses He/Him pronouns, so I am lead to believe he identifies as male not non-binary.

hi, thank you! we covered this in the last reply roundup as well, but someone using he/him pronouns isn’t automatically a binary person. many binary people do use he/him pronouns, but a significant number of nonbinary people do too. (including me! they’re not my go-to but I’m perfectly fine with being called he/him. and besides that, headcanon and fanart are not beholden to canon as some ultimate authority!) your headcanon and mine don’t have to match, and that’s okay. personally, though, I like thinking of kirby as nonbinary, and since this is my blog I will continue using that in my art and comments :>

[arsonistmoth]

HEEHOO. Therapho's gay ass entirely melts if a certain spider pick them up. >u>

I wanted to draw @arsonistmoth ‘s cutie with my Shamura :3

[arsonistmoth]

Tryin somethin dif for a warm-up. I just let my youtube music radio go ham and drew headshots to the songs it gave me. (yea youtube has it out for my ass when it comes to feels sometimes) Punk Tactics: just my sona showin their teefs The yawning grave: Lamb's having a time- Ends of the earth: WE ALL HAVE THAT SPECIAL FIRST FOLLOWER OK- The scientist: Hi this is Therapho, also known as my shamura's partner/ emotional support goat. I like making the two suffer. >:3 Speed paint under the cut

[shirasade]

theraphos

  Okay but imagine if during the whole...

The third kid is confirmed okay in the book at least!

You’re right, the book is more concrete in confirming that he’s alright, while the show keeps his ultimate fate rather vague.

[big-bad-shorty-king]

theraphos replied to your post “YES!!! THEY KEPT DEATH OBSESSED WITH THE TRIVIA GAME!!! WHY DOESNT HE...”

Gaiman, I think it was, said they unfortunately had to give up the other horsemen because there wasn't room for everything, and the other horsemen could be removed without changing the story. RIP those guys :(

Thats unfortunate, either way they did a fantastic adaptation of the book! 

[eyezackery]

@beetledee0 I will learn how to draw just so I can draw theraphos getting dunked on

[simosyne]

Therapho: When you said you had a reliable “source of food”, Saph, this isn’t exactly what I had anticipated.

Saph: Hey, just because you’re used to dealing with the scum of the earth doesn’t mean I have to cater to your expectations. Besides, the owner owes me.

Irune: I have a feeling almost everyone around here does.

Saph: My lips are sealed.

[sp-ud]

Oh fuck original art of an oc? On my mostly em sea u toob blog?

Whoa :o

Thearius [Th-air-e-us] is one of the hunters for my original story im starting work on, Venatio. I'm gonna ramble on about them some more under a "keep reading" that I hope will work right because rn im on mobile.

Okay looks like the read more worked, pog! Hope yall don't mind me writing out how to pronounce stuff.

[A lot of this is no longer true lmao]

Thearius, or as she's known by friends, Thea [th-ee-uh], or by her family, Eari [air-ee], or by her many internet followers, Rius [ree-us]. Is a 19 year old new hunter for Venatio [Ven-nah-see-o]. Even before her debut Eari was pretty popular online due to her sassy and rude personality, her wild training livestreams, and the conspiracy theory about her being the secret child of semi-retired Venatio legends Therapho [Thuh-er-a-foe] and Aries. Not many people actually believe said theory, and Eari often jokes about it herself like its wild and out there... but its actually true, she is their kid.

Eari has shown amazing skill with his axe, and was quickly accepted to be a part of the new season of Venatio. Not only is he a skilled hunter, with years of training from three of the best players under his belt, he also has an oddly charming personality, something Venationes [Ven-nah-see-o-neighs] need to keep viewers interested.

Their overconfidence shines through with their outfit, both revealing and with bright neon colors, bad for defense and camouflage. They also specifically style their hair to show off their multi-colored eye, and are showing stomach to flex that cool scar they got from a respawn glitch during training with their sister once.

They're unapologetically themselves and thats what so many people love about them. Including me. But idk if I count because I'm the writer.

Also here's some more art of them, if you read this I love you.

(First one is the first time I drew him, using the designs for Therapho and Aries to make their bby) (Middle one is him in a dress with a matching axe, because of course he has an axe that matches all his outfits) (Last one includes a 1st attempt at Claire, one of the prey for the new season of Venatio) ((Eari has a weakness for girls taller than him, poor Claire doesn't know why he staring))
