🐧Waddle we have here? It's a Gerry update!

🪶It’s o-fish-ally time for Gerry’s first annual adult molt. Instead of a feather here and there, African penguins do an all-at-once feather swap in just a few weeks. Talk about a glow-up!

💪Before a molt, African penguins bulk up their fat reserves. Without an intact, waterproof coat of feathers, they can’t get into the chilly ocean to hunt for their food!

🐟Penguins face significant threats from habitat loss and overfishing. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensuring their survival and protecting their natural habitats. 

💙Let's waddle together to make a difference!

maybe a little bit generic of me, but i adore the dream land four!

magolor and bandee are tied for tippy top favourite, but this whole group just mean everything to me and i am extremely normal about them. after these guys it's probably a very close galacta knight and marx!

king dedede was actually my first ever played exposure to the franchise (through smash multiplayer at a party where i picked him due to Bird) and marx was my first 'character i recognised + played + was obsessed with outside the mains' in star allies so i still consider him my original Little Freak (affectionate)

ask answer for @trainerbob23!

Apple Seed 11: Abuela

Vaggie: (helping Charlie walk around the hotel) Just a couple more weeks and this will be all over, babe.

Charlie: (waddling like a fat penguin and holding her back) Thank fuck!

Lucifer: ....I'm risking it. (rushes up behind Charlie, lifts her up, places her feet on his, and starts waddling forward while singing) WWWWWWaddle like a penguin, quack, quack! WWWaddle like a penguin, quack, quack!

Charlie: DAD!!! I'M NOT THREE ANYMORE!!! I'M JUST PREGNANT!!! (looks down at her recently dropped baby belly) Very.... VERY.... pregnant....

Lucifer: Sorry, duckie. I thought this might help bring a smile to your face.

KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!

Vaggie: Who the fuck is here now?! We put it out that we're not taking anymore sinners until after the baby's born!

Charlie: (slowly easing herself onto a lowered bar stool) Vaggie, be nice.

Baby: (wiggles, sending Charlie's whole belly pulsing)

Charlie: Baby agrees.

Vaggie: Yes, dear.... (answers the door) What do you- .......

Carmilla: (standing in the doorway with an imposing stare)

Vaggie: Carmine!? What are you doing here?!

Carmilla: (places an envelope in Vaggie's hand and enters the hotel with Clara and Odette in tow - dragging mounds of baby goods) I am here to check in on the princess and child while dropping off some much needed baby items.

Charlie: Aww~ That's awfully nice of you, Ms. Carmine.

Baby: (flutters)

Vaggie: (opening the envelope) This better not be an invoice for all of that! (pulls out a thick packet of paper and reads) WHAT THE FUCK???? You're ADOPTING me?!?!?!

Charlie: (jaw drops as she's in the middle of holding up a white baby onesie that says "I Love My Mommies" in rainbow from the pile) What?!

Lucifer: (Angry puppy face) Oh, no! That is MY daughter-in-law!

Carmilla: I figured it was overdue, especially with a child on the way. The baby needs an abuela in its life.

Vaggie: (opens mouth to say something only for her to close it with a snap) You know what? Fuck it. This is fine. Someone, give me a pen.

Odette: (hands over a pen)

Vaggie: Thank you. (signs the paper) There. Carmine, now you're an abuelita.

Carmilla: (staring at Charlie and the baby belly) Abuela is just fine.

Vaggie: Abuelita or nothing.

Carmilla: (opens mouth to counter)

Baby: (flutters excitedly and little fist impressions press against Charlie's belly)

Charlie: Awww~ They want to say "Hi" to their abuelita~

Carmilla: (flushes red and closes her mouth before shuffling forward and holding her hand over Charlie's belly)

Charlie: (smiles and gently presses her hand on top of Carmilla's, bringing it to her belly)

Baby: (tiny hand presses against the taught belly to meet the hand outside)

Carmilla: ......... (internally crying from sheer emotions) Qué pequeño tan precioso.

Clara & Odette: Can we feel the baby?!

Carmilla: (walks back over to Vaggie to retrieve the paperwork)

Vaggie: (smirking) Don't think I didn't hear that.

Carmilla: I don't know what you're talking about.

🐧 📢 Calling all penguin enthusiasts!

Waddle with our penguin parade and help spread the word about #NOOW: Not On Our Watch. Our African penguin pals have faced some tough times over the past century, but by protecting their ocean homes and choosing ocean-friendly seafood, we can flip the tide for our feathered friends!

[starflungwaddledee]

@moon-mage-ex you are SO right. "who wouldn't want to smooch him" literally nobody. everybody wants to smooch him and i'll hear no counter arguments.

i saw someone once say that they headcanon all the waddle dees to have little crushes on dedede which i thought was super cute, and i'm sure starstruck would want to join in! she is a super normal waddle dee, after all!

[shapeshiftinterest]

response to a post i made about what characters would look good in my style

@askatriangleandastar: snorlax and king dedede

@touchofthetism6: kirby and waddledee

i've drawn the others before but this is my first time drawing king dedede

rlly liked the idea of putting snorlax in king dedede's outfit

trying something with the shading, was gonna redo the lineart but sometimes the messy draft kind looks so good you just can't, y'kno?

[didyougetthebroomclosetending]

(Fictional characters?!) yes.
