#this week ​i've had multiple dreams that would qualify as nightmares i think but i've felt so strangely neutral while experiencing them

[oblako]

is a dream technically a nightmare if it's objectively scary but you don't feel scared

I accidentally deleted everything I had like twice so here's a comprehensive list of a bunch of Magical Girl associated tropes that fit with Kirby.

Action Hero/All-Loving Hero/Badass Adorable/Magical Girl Warrior - There's a specific style of Magical Girl who gets all up close and personal with their fights along with magic. Kirby fits this to a T. I mean, anyone who can survive in Smash Bros deserves this title. (If we're including Smash Bros we can also add Calling Your Attacks, where Kirby calls out attacks like Hadouken)

Befriending the Enemy - Dedede. Meta Knight. Marx. Daroach. Dark Meta Knight. All of the Wave 3 Dream Friends. The Mage Sisters are literally a Dark Magical Girl Squad.

Brainwashed and Crazy/Villain Possessed Bystander - Dedede, Bandanna Dee, Adeleine, the Ripple Queen Daroach, and Meta Knight come to mind. Also Sectonia and Haltmann, to an extent.

Butterfly of Transformation - Morpho Knight

Cute Clumsy Girl/Child Mage - Kirby is portrayed as clumsy, often tripping. And if the anime is anything to go by, they're a kid.

Dark Magical Girl - All four Knights, and Dedede's Masked iterations. Sectonia, delectably.

Eleventh Hour Costume Change - Although Kirby doesn't wear much outside of hats, I'd count the Final Weapons (Dream Rod, Love-Love Stick, etc.) as this

Fairy Companion - [gestures wildly at Ribbon]

Henshin Hero - This trope refers to when a hero only has super powers for a limited amount of time. Although Kirby could kill gods at any time, they only carry copy abilities for a short period, until they are hit

Jerk with a Heart of Gold - Dedede, Meta Knight, Daroach

Magic Idol Singer - Mic Kirby certainly can kill with their voice

Magic Staff/Magic Wand -

Mentor Mascot/Animal Companion - The Animal Friends!!!!

Magical Idol Singer - Mic Kirby certainly can kill with their voice

Magical Land - All of Dream Land!!! Ripple Star!!! Everywhere you go!!!

Monster of the Week - Replace Monster with "Local Hellspawn" or "Elder God" and that's just life in Dreamland (Also, the entire anime)

Normie Best Friend - Bandanna Dee, for a time

Mysterious Protector - Meta Knight tries, okay?

Non-Human Sidekick - Literally everyone. Also amazingly inverted with the single human sidekick, Adeleine

Pink Protagonist/Super-Cute Superpowers - Kirby Kirby Kirby Kirby

Power Crystal - Isn't that what they named Kirby 64 after

The Power of Friendship/Five Man Band - That's just the plot of Kirby Star Allies!!!! Like, that finishing move where Kirby summons all of their friends on the Star Allies Sparkler? Iconic as heck!!!!! (Bonus points for all the playable characters being color coded and relating to different elements/skillsets, which is common in Magical Girl teams)

Recruit Teenagers with Attitude - I am looking directly at Marx (also, every iteration where Kirby has spoken)

Sealed Evil in a Can - Do people count as cans. If not, Nightmare, Dark Nebula, and the Master Crown, which also acts as a Transformation Trinket.

These are just the listed tropes on the Magical Girl TVTropes page but I can think of multiple instances where you could plug Kirby characters into the plot of a Mahou Shojo series and everything would make the same amount of sense. I can't list them all here because I would go over the character limit but. It's there, I promise.

Anyway not only is Kirby a mahou shojo, but ALL of their friends could qualify as Magical Girls in some way or another. In fact, I would actively encourage any and everyone to make Magical Girl Kirby AUs because they are good and incredibly valid and I've already come up with like five Magical Girl style Kirby AUs someone please help me.

I’ll write the essay for you! Kirby may not be considered a magical girl in the traditional sense, however they display many traits that are associated with magical girls and the mahou shojo genre! First off, from what I know about the genre, transformations are a VERY important element, and do you know what Kirby does the most? They transform! Whenever they inhale and gain abilities from an enemy, they get a cute lil hat to show for it! Not to mention, they also have a cutesy aesthetic- (1 of 2

absolutely PERFECT analysis. this is the content im on this site for. god bless you anon
