IT'S DONE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRBY!!!

If you've been following me the last month, you've seen me posting invitations to join Kirby Birthday Collab. Well, as today is 27th, I'm proud to present the result of this collab!!

This collab ended up even bigger than the last year's one. When last year we mainly had only Dream Friends (with some special guests like Morpho, Galacta and Elfilin), this year we've got characters from many more groups, including villains! We've almost left no one behind lol

The image above might be a bit scuffed (anti-AI protection, and all that), but no worries! You can click on it to see full, uncompressed image and see everyone's work that's been put into this!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated, and to everyone who wanted but either learned about it too late or didn't manage - don't worry! Looks like this thing might be annual from now on (or until i run out of steam lmao), so you'll get plenty of chances to join next year! Just keep your eyes peeled around March-April :3

And now, everyone who participated in this collab:

@squeak-art - Daroach, Dark Nebula and Squeakers + two bonus polaroids (the one with Nebula and the one with Squeak Squad) @sacrificecage - Hyness and Shadow Kirby @aseuki - Sectonia (absolute madlad) @giantchasm - Elfilin, Fecto Forgo + possessed Awoofy and Rick @taranzas-biggest-fan - Taranza and President Haltmann + bonus polaroid with Wave 3 trio and Kirby @sourghostsoda - Dark Meta Knight and Galacta Knight @spidersandtomatos - Zan Partizanne + bonus polaroid with their OC and Zan @kachikirby - Samus Aran and Francisca + bonus polaroid with Samus @eleart - Meta Knight @azumetapraline - Magolor @tinybandee - Sailor Dee and UFO @a-stardusted-sky - Landia @mementomarx - Morpho Knight @xxmooncheetosxx - Ribbon @rosakikoza - DMS and Zero @hascaple - Chuchu @deafeninggardenerpanda - Void and Arthur (also special thanks for allowing me to organize it on his server that i've been advertising all this month lol) @pixbit - Prince Fluff @eryth-arts - Susie and Flamberge @deefighter2739 - Bandee @skitty-kirby - Sword and Blade Knights @hoshi-no-mahoroa - Coo @diroxide - Fecto Elfilis @starrveria - Tiff @nausylemmyj - Adeline @thecreatorlynne (on Instagram) - Miracle Matter + bonus polaroid with all the Matters @thundermarisol - Pitch, Pick, Mine, Shiro, Nyupun and Pitch Mama @michirikapchiyyy - Falspar and Dragato @galapathy - Nonsurat and Nightmare @wybienova - Clawroline + bonus polaroid with Clawroline @mistilteinn-magolor - Gooey @superskullz64 - Spinni, Doc and Storo @starrysorry - Tuff, Fololo and Falala @tazmilygray - Elline and Keeby @icy-dark-star - Leongar @yokyoaaa - Nago and the Meta-Knights (Axe, Trident, Mace and Javelin Knights) @itsquakey/@chickenhoops - Marx @chibihuey - Drawcia, Claycia and Kine (and colored Nightmare) + bonus polaroid with four Kirbies

Ever thought about how Susie most likely went an incredibly long time without any hugs?

I can't imagine there was anyone for her to hug during her time in Another Dimension, and I feel like Haltmann wasn't willing to accept hugs from her when she came back considering he forgot her existence.

Tragic deprivation of hugs. (and many other things)

Probably the last time she was hugged was from her dad before the AD accident.

I bet Susie would break if someone hugged her for the first time post-AD accident. Whether it be crying or some other incredibly dramatic emotional reaction out of the norm of what she'd be like at that point. Regardless of whoever it may be that gives her that first hug after so long, depending on one's headcanon (whether it be Kirby, or Meta Knight, or Taranza, or Magolor, or whoever in general)

She could use a hug for sure, I think.

i have! now here's a significantly longer answer to this!

i apologize for the late response as well, i really wanted to give this ask the most appropriate answer i possibly could & may still do additional edits after posting:

i agree that susie probably wouldn't be hugging anything but herself in the another dimension - i assume that being deprived of any human connection, especially physical touch, for at least a decade would be the equivalent of sitting in an insane asylum for an equal amount of time, or even more when you consider the sphere doomers & their funny little enderman powers

furthermore, i also can concur with haltmann being generally against giving/receiving hugs, it's pretty difficult to imagine an egomaniac businessman (when we meet him in robobot at least, beyond that is all dependent on personal headcanons) willing to suck up to someone of a lesser position than himself, especially if it's his very own conglomerate

however, there's something that keeps me from completely settling with that notion, specifically in regards to susie:

throughout robobot, we can see that susie has a very large presence in haltmann's life besides just being his secretary, whether it be the gold statues that heavily resemble her, her image on the hwc currency as shown in haltmann's 2.0 boss battle, how she oversaw the mechanization of popstar (although that one could be easily chocked up to just being his secretary), haltmann's approval of the ice cream factory, her concerts for him as seen in the 100% completion cutscene, & a little personal headcanon of my own:

giving her the opportunity via arduous tasks to join hwc without any sort of previous resume nor prestige, possibly due to sympathy after hearing her story about being his long lost daughter & having really nowhere to go after that - the way i imagine it is similar to a situation where someone in need directly asks you for help, although you may not be personally acquainted with that person, it would feel wrong if you didn't at least try to provide them with some sort of help to get them back on the road

susie clearly means a lot to him despite his negative & usually apathetic disposition & shows that he's potentially already crossed his own personal boundaries once if not multiple times for her & would do so again in a heartbeat --but only under the pretense that she would have to ask him first

i specifically mention "ask" as a majority if not all of haltmann's "canonical" affection towards susie can be easily regarded as implicit. in spite of that, with the amount of care he's shown, i feel confident enough to say that he most likely wouldn't be against the idea of giving susie (& ONLY susie) something like a hug as well as may even view giving her a hug a minor thing for her of all people to ask for

but let's think about why SUSIE wouldn't ask/hug haltmann? some immediate reasons i can think of are:

a bad reaction from him when she first hugged him after returning from the another dimension (perhaps before explaining her story to him)

out of respect as her higherup/boss (remember, haltmann's affection towards susie has been up to this point very indirect, i doubt he himself would actually offer to hug her, so she'd probably never know if he wanted a hug/to hug her)

abiding to company etiquette

or going into crack headcanon territory, quietly waiting for the day he'll get all his memories of her back. & with how overly imaginative & grandiose susie tends to be, she'd probably be more than just willing to wait to hug her father for that one special day (which of course, never happens.)

but this is all assuming that she'd still even be willing to hug anyone let alone seek physical connection in correlation to her time in the another dimension, as although haltmann is her father & she may have hugged him in the past, sometimes our more recent personal experiences weigh more. & after her very fun trip to disneyland, i imagine she's learned to be paranoid & generally distrustful of others, perhaps stemming from previous life-or-death situations in which she believed she could trust others only to be immediately betrayed by those same individuals

for example, think about all our battles with the sphere doomers in kirby's return to dreamland: initially, we're led to believe that after finishing the extra stage we can immediately obtain the energy spheres via reaching for them in the middle of a suspiciously boss-like platform. however, as soon as we actually reach them, a sphere doomer suddenly forms around the spheres as a sort of surprise attack, forcing us fight in order to obtain them

although we may be able to immediately identify that this is a trap majority of the time, susie was most likely very young & thus naive. combined with the idea that she most likely was also very desperate to survive, it's not hard to imagine that she'd fall for similar traps multiple times before learning not to trust anything in the another dimension

we can even somewhat see her skepticism in a few of her cutscenes in robobot, specifically whenever she mentions the possibility of the mother computer/star dream being imperfect & i can only imagine that her cynicism would only further grow as the person who saved her--the only other person she potentially ever trusted in her life--also led to her father's demise

a hug for susie is like a wrecking ball to a tower entirely made of glass, although it appears tall & encompassing, it's ultimately fragile & unreliable as a source of comfort & security

phewwwwww, now i've reached the end with that tangent, i can totally agree that susie would literally shatter into pieces of she were hugged by someone, but i doubt it'd be a dramatic emotional reaction as i can't imagine her knowing how to react, let alone understand the concept of physical connection after such a long period of time

for her, i feel like it's one of those moments where you think about how much you're touching someone, yet, in spite of all the awkwardness, something about it makes you feel a bit more complete than before.

homegirl needs a hug, maybe a bit more than that, but better to start with baby steps than to put all our eggs in one basket

#this is really good #I love stuff like this that goes in depth how another dimension messed with her #girl needs that emotional support badly #kirby

Happy Birthday Kirby!

if it's alright to ask, what's dedede tuesday? very curious

The answer to that is... absolutely nothing!

It's mostly just a joke based on how people like to name certain days of the week after characters that start with the same letter as them and I needed a funny caption for my stupid t-posing ace Dedede render and I thought it would be funny. It probably isn't except to me, oops.

#trash talks #thank you for asking! #and welcome to icy answers asks in the middle of the night while I should be sleeping!

Raus aus den Federn, es ist Dedede Dienstag!
