#update: tagged because anyways

[sarcastic-bug]

umm my interpretation of a Kirby rpg / kirby visual novel

(idea inspired on @das-a-kirby-blog)

-Another concepts ideas

[sev-ille]

I may be pointing out something completely obvious, but Round 7 takes place immediately after Round 6?

Like immediately after.

Hyuna is still there, bleeding. Like it's so unlikely that Mizi and Hyuna have just been roaming for days. Like after round 6, it's been maybe a few hours at most?

My thoughts are a mess rn but damn that sucks for Till if that's true (not that it doesn't suck if it's not).

Ivan dies in front of him, then he has a change of outfit and immediately has to move onto the next Round. No wonder he looks so fatigued, like he's about to pass out at any moment.

Did he even get to eat or drink anything? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, but still.

Hello hlvrai fandom

I made an animatic

I say this in the kindest way possible, but I think this style of prose is more appropriate for a personal account rather than an update account. I have no idea who's being talked about half the time. 🥲

[ghastlyaffairs]

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

rating the gloves of touchstarved characters except i'm a persistent glove wearer

all of it is under the cut for picture reasons. i laughed the whole time i was doing this, bon appétit.

leander

09/10! those gloves are not slipping out of his hands, good for him! love the buttons as well, but i am judging the opening in the back of the hand a little bit. overall a very nice design, need to find some like those irl.

vere

... 08/10. i like the look of them and i would wear them. they might seem goofy but i understand the need to cover those fingers. save yourself from calloused thumbs and index fingers with this simple trick.

sen

a solid 08/10, the only reason she isn't ranked higher is because she only wears one glove? but the one she wears is secure in place, i can admire that. fingerless gloves are so cool, and she makes them look even better.

---

bonus: mc!

listen. listen. in the ragged state they're in it's a 01/10. but if they fully covered the mc's hands? 10/10. as someone who's worn bandages like that before, they're more comfortable than gloves. the mc knows their stuff <3

another wippy,,,, updated timeskips will be happening :]

[batwynn]

I’m sorry for the long wait times for art at the moment. My body decided it would be funny for every chronic illness I have to flare up at once, and I’m not doing great at all with them ping-ponging off one another. 🥲🥲🥲🥲

I also did try to get a rush on Patreon stuff for October so it’s all ready to go and not late af like I somehow manage every year. 😂

I also may have rescued a boy! (who went straight for the farthest point under my bed, where all the dust is and like… random old med bottles.) His name is Duncan Watson and he’s shy af but adorable. It’s hard to resist laying on my floor to stare at him.
