I love Waddle Dees! I just wish they were a bit crunchier.
Tumblr media
Perfect!
Name: Sectra Dee
Debut: Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Sectra Dee is exactly like a Waddle Dee... but it’s a bug! Isn’t that grand? Yes! It is! And you agree. For a little while, I was disappointed these were not called Waddle Bees, but I’m over it now! Sectra Dee is, thematically, a good name, especially since it facilitates the naming of variants, as well! And there are so many variants!
Tumblr media
The most straightforward is Parasol Sectra Dee! Parasol Sectra Dee is exactly like a Parasol Waddle Dee... but it’s a bug! Isn’t that grand? Yes! It is! And you agree. Parasol is one of my favorite abilities for how whimsical it is, and it’s even more fun to see a bug using it! This insect can’t fly, but at least it can glide jovially.
But these variants are not all merely Sectra Dees with different props! They are so much more. Kirby is not in Dream Land anymore, no no. He is in Bug World! “Buzz buzz!” -the bugs
Tumblr media
Sectra Burt is the one Sectra variant blessed with the miracle of flight! Bronto Burt is already vaaaguely bug-like with its particular style of wings, but this one goes above the ambiguity and is oh so bug. It even has a pointy stylet on its face! I know it will slurp some liquids! I hope not yours or mine!
Tumblr media
Then there is Sectra Knight, a bug redesign of Lanzer, a spear knight enemy! This one is especially funny to me. It looks like it’s wearing a mask with a bug face on it! Is it a fraud? Is that a non-bug under there? Or is that its real face, and its cuticle is just shaped in such a way it looks like a mask? I will assume that it IS a mask, and it has the exact bug face underneath. I’m a silly one!
Tumblr media
Sectra Shooter is a bug who will shoot you! Imagine being stung by a bug, only to notice the bug is feet away from you, and just shooting you with arrows out of spite. I’m glad that doesn’t happen in real life, both because it would hurt, and because people would use it to hate bugs even more. But Sectra Shooter is a cool creature! Very cool compound eye shades, and I like how the top of its head kind of evokes a hat, with its antennae like feathers!
Tumblr media
Finally there is Sectra Gordo, who we have talked about before! The most different in style of all of these, and also one of the funniest. Just a levitating and indestructible beetle. Magical beetle!
Tumblr media
But this post is about Sectra Dee, and I got sidetracked! They have only appeared in Triple Deluxe and Blowout Blast, only having story significance in Triple Deluxe. But it’s kind of vague! All we really know is they inhabit Royal Road, the realm of Queen Sectonia, and probably serve her. But that’s all we get! I like to think they really are just like Waddle Dees, little guys just living their lives, not truly meaning any harm but maybe sometimes getting roped into bad crowds.
Tumblr media
At least, we get some Sectra Dee Content in one of the manga, where they are serving Taranza just like Waddle Dees serve Dedede! Cinematic parallels. Are those eyelashes on the one in the back? Awesome! a Girl Bug.

So I've seen a lot of people posting their Kirby fankids recently...
And so I figured I should finally try and post some of mine! I've had them for a while now, but I've been too lazy to talk about them on Tumblr. Let's change that by making a post about my favorite out of all of them... my special little princess... my beautiful skrunkly.
Everyone, I'd like you to meet Peony!
Tumblr media
She is, of course, my Taransusie fankid. She came into existence because I was playing Tomodachi Life and I got attached Taranza offhandedly mentioned that it would be nice to have a family one day and Susie just kind of nodded along but her internal reaction was a strong 'ABSOLUTELY NOT.'
This reaction... unnerved her, to say the least. She didn't understand why she felt so strongly about this. It's not that she didn't like kids. She liked Kirby plenty! And so why...?
Oh stars, it had to do with her dad, didn't it?
Her own unfulfilled childhood. Her resentment for her father. A fear that inevitably she'd fail as a parent in the same exact ways he did.
Realizing this was what was holding her back, Susie proceeded to get extremely angry. Why the hell was her dad still influencing the decisions she was making? He was long gone! She wouldn't let him make her hesitant or boss her around. She wasn't afraid. She could do WAY better than him. In fact, she would make a great mom! She'd show him.
The next thing she knew she was holding a baby she'd grown in a test tube.
Susie pretty much immediately realized she fucked up the minute this thing started moving. She didn't have anything to take care of her. Not even a blanket to bundle her in. What was she THINKING? Did she seriously make a living being out of spite? Maybe that would have been acceptable during her ‘Yeah, sure. I’ll do whatever evil thing I want’ era. But now? It was pretty apparent she made a mistake that she couldn’t take back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thankfully Taranza was… mostly understanding? I mean, he was surprised, of course, and he had to be like “SUSIE. Never do something like this again. ESPECIALLY without talking to me about it,” but when she explained he understood why she reacted the way that she did. Plus, as unexpected as this all was, he pretty much instantly fell in love with little Peony.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which is to say nowadays they’re a pretty happy family! Peony is 8ish and things are going great. That is… except for one teensy, weensy, SLIGHT problem.
There was an incident wherein Peony almost died, and following it, she’s started seeing ghosts. This would be alarming under ANY circumstances, but with her family especially?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
…Hoo boy.
Further explanation under the cut, since this is long enough as is
First of all, I figure I should probably explain the circumstances of Peony’s near-death experience. It was all sort of a freak accident. One day, Susie had to perform some inspections at the Works Company, and no-one else was available to watch Peony, so she was just like, “Well. She’s a well-behaved kid. I’ll bring her along. What’s the worst that can happen?”
The ‘worst that could happen’ was her child being fed to an industrial meat grinder. All it took was looking away for ooooneeee second. Peony leaned a little too close to one of the company’s machines, fell, and the next thing Susie knew, she heard screaming.
She. Was. Horrified. She scrambled to shut off the machine, but it was too late. Peony was already hurt. Really hurt. She pulled her broken body from the machine, but there wasn’t much else she could do. She pretty much just had to call Taranza, explain what horrifying thing happened, and then wait for him, a person with actual experience using Soul and healing magic to get there before it was too late.
I cannot explain enough how distressing this was. Susie is someone who isn’t used to feeling helpless. She’s in control in pretty much every situation. But sitting there, holding her actively dying daughter, she had none of that usual control. Despite herself, she couldn’t let her mind wander back to that person. The one that she was thinking about when she first made Peony. She said she’d do better than he did, but…
If Peony were to die now, they’d be the exact same.
Even once Taranza arrived, they weren’t exactly out of the woods. He completely panicked, presented with the idea of losing another loved one, and his attempts to stabilize her were sloppy and desperate. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t seem to find her spirit to tether back to her body with his magic. Was it… already too late?
That’s when it felt as if something was passed off to him. Her spirit practically shoved into the metaphorical hands of his mind’s eye. It didn’t make any sense— it felt as if someone had intervened, but he didn’t question it. He took the stroke of luck as it came, and just barely he was able to stabilize Peony.
…She was hurt, but alive.
When she came to, her family was relieved, but she revealed something strange. When she was on the brink between life and death, she swore she was helped by two mysterious strangers. They comforted her, helped her calm down, and helped her get back to her body.
She described them as a ‘pretty lady’ and a ‘funny old man.’
Taranza and Susie weren’t sure what to make of this. It… couldn’t be, could it? But from thereon out, Peony continued to see these strangers, as well as develop more spectral powers.
You see… Peony is half Neumann— the same species her mom is. Her mom doesn’t have any magic abilities thanks to her cybernetics, but archetypically the species is susceptible to being… overloaded with a certain type of magic, especially when in life or death situations. Look at the Mage Sisters, for example. When on the brink of death themselves, they ended up becoming one with the elements that nearly killed them.
It was the same for Peony. A perfect storm, really. The Arachnid’s predisposition for Soul magic combined with the Neumann’s ability to soak up magic made for a very unique set of circumstances. And so when her dad used Soul magic to heal her, and some spirits perhaps stepped in to save her life…
Peony was overwhelmed. She developed an unnatural connection to the dead.
That said, Peony’s ‘guardian angels’ weeereeennn’t exactly supposed to do what they did. The rules of life and death are very strict. Particularly powerful spirits are allowed to remain wandering if they have unfinished business, but they are NOT to mess with mortal lives.
The arbitrator of life and death was outraged. It said it should whisk the two of them to Hades for their audacity! But this, too, was something Peony overheard, and she rushed to intervene. She begged Morpho Knight not to punish the mysterious strangers who helped her. If if was her who was supposed to die, shouldn’t she have been punished instead? She said she’d take their place.
…She didn’t know they were her granddad and her father’s long lost friend at the time. She just knew they’d helped her out, even though they didn’t know her. She had to return the favor.
Morpho Knight tested her conviction. It made it seem as if it was really going to go through with reaping her, but when she didn’t back down, it relented. It… couldn’t whisk away an innocent child. Perhaps all the time spent watching over Kirby was making it go soft. It allowed Peony to have her way. Truthfully, with the abilities she developed, the boundary between life and death for her family was already going to thin anyways. It would watch and see where this went.
Nowadays, Peony and the ghosts are best friends. She’s learned of their origins, and given a bit of an ego boost from her unlikely survival, she’s promised one day she’ll bring them back to life. This is something that is NOT going to happen, but at the moment she’s convinced she’s invincible— that she has unique, unmatched power and can do anything she wants to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her parents are… hardly sure what to make of all this. It’s difficult to believe, really. But the more Peony talks about her brand new friends, the harder it is to deny her uncanny knowledge. And that means old wounds are reopening as they grapple with the complicated implications of the very flawed people they lost not only entering their child’s life but, in a way, reentering theirs.
…But that’s a story for another day. I figure I’ve probably talked enough. All you need to know is god complex spirit medium spider girl. I hope everyone else likes her as much as I do.

sectonia taught me something
tw sad i guess lmao
why, whenever i make a tumblr post, is it long as fuck. do i just take that long to cook?
"hol on guys i still got 3 hours left in the Crock-Pot™ "
Tumblr media
my mom has one of these!
anyway heres the post:
so, ive gotten back into my kirby phase right 02's theme dragged me back into the hells
(this is slowly turning into a kirby blog. my top post is the rant on zero one)
anyway
kirby's been a big interest of mine ever since i played triple deluxe on my 3ds xl in like 2018 idefk
its kinda apart of my personality tbh. i really like lovecraftian horrors now and ive tried to mimick some of the kirby style in my own stories (best example being my bugs having eyes more similar to halcandra dees than the bug fables or hollow knight)
when i was a kid, i didnt really think much about the story of games i played.
i just went 'ohohoho. oheeeheehee. i kil yu.'
but, once i got my hands on lore youtube, oH MY GOD.
to summarize it, kirby triple deluxe is basically
there is a beanstalk
it takes you to floating islands!
grow the beanstalk to save the fairies who live on the islands from the evil queen!
the evil queen has an evil henchman (OF WHOM I THOUGHT WAS A GIRL. TARANZA. NAME ENDS IN AN A. THATS A FEMININE NAMING SCHEME. ALSO BRUV YOUR HAIR CONFUSED 8 YEAR OLD ME WHO DIDNT KNOW WHAT BISEXUALS WERE) who is doing her evils as well!
fight the evil henchman spider and fight the queen herself!
she fuses with a flower and you take her down with a giant ass laser! (american kirby. now in theatres near you)
that's the plot.
but the lore is kinda dark. duh, this is kirby.
if you've seen my call-out post, you know the basic jist of the lore. if you havent seen it, i'll explain
taranza got his wife, sectonia, a mirror for a gift! since she loved admiring her appearance
that mirror was the amazing mirror, a portal to the mirror dimension!
now i dont know how the fuck this happened but it fucked her up! and turned! her! in! to! a! bee!
she wanted to be as beautiful as human(spider?)ly possible so she turned into a bee ig
taranza assured her she was beautiful, but respected her changes
sectonia grew mad, trying to become as beautiful as possible, and fused with the dreamstalk/flower i mentioned above
and dies
now thats dark!
but here's where it gets interesting
i was in the shower like
sectonia was chill and okay with herself
someone provided her with a way to notice how cool she was
sectonia realized she wanted to be better because wow! someone said i was cool! i want that again!
sectonia then tried everything in her power to become beautiful, to gain that compliment!
and people told her, 'yeah sectonia! you are beautiful! you are drop dead gorgeous!'
sectonia did not believe them!
so she strove to be better!
and eventually the compliments probably didnt mean anything to her! they probably went out one ear and out the other!
and so these compliments didnt have the same effect as they previously did! but sectonia wanted the good compliments! she still wanted to be beautiful!
but the compliments didnt work
and so in a sisyphus like situation, she drove herself mad, dying for what she craved and yet couldnt recieve
and shower me was like
damn!
i kinda realized
i was chill and okay with myself
someone provided me with a way to notice how cool i was
i realized i wanted to be better because wow! someone said i was cool! i want that again!
i then tried everything in my power to become accomplished, to gain that compliment!
and people told me, 'yeah choco! you are accomplished! you can do anything!'
i did not believe them! for some reason! (idk why to this fucking day)
so i strove to be better!
and eventually the compliments didnt mean anything to me! they went out one ear and out the other!
and so these compliments didnt have the same effect as they previously did! but i wanted the good compliments! i still wanted to be accomplished! and recognized! and loved!
but the compliments didnt work
and so in a sisyphus like situation, i drove myself mad.
and im like
damn!
am i going to die waiting for my shower water to heat up? (because its STUCK ON ROOM TEMPERATURE. i needa ask my dad to fix it)
and i going to die waiting for Her war to end?
am i going to die waiting for someone to tell me they love me, and die waiting for me to realize they mean it?
am i going to keep working and working just to gain nothing? am i going to keep people pleasing in hopes someone advocates for me and die trying?
i find myself making my largest mental health break-throughs not from others words, but on my own.
and so an hour ago i stood in the shower realizing im killing myself in what im doing
working for what others see of me and not myself
Tumblr media
do i want to go out that way?
🥔

Ideas for a potential (and ideal for my tastes) Kirby Party game!!
This'll be long, obviously, so I'm leaving everything under the cut.
At its core, the game is a literal copy-and-paste of classic Mario Party. Everyone moves around the board, gathering more of a select item than their competitors to win, with minigames sprinkled throughout. No differences there. The difference comes from what the objects are, in this case.
On the topic of stars:
Here, stars are replaced with food items, given out by Kawasaki who replaces Toad. Whenever Kawasaki is moved, through any means, he prepares a new, unique food item.
When you get to Kawasaki, you can spend 20 point-stars (the Kirby equivalent of coins) for whatever he offers. Or you could spend 25 point-stars to get a different food selected at random.
Why does this matter? Because you can eat these food items for special bonuses, offering a nice helping of strategy to the established norm. Eating them means you lose a point, however, so it should be used very carefully to be effective.
Outside of those, at least one food is offered that has no stat effects and is just your bog standard.
On the topic of items:
Originally, I had planned for most of the items to come straight from Mario Party 2, but after looking more closely into the item system of Parties 5-7 (mainly 6 because it serves as another big influence on the project), I fell in love with the nuance and strategy that could be employed.
With that in mind, I was thinking about revamping the item system and number of items to better fall in line with this style. However, I'll still share the old item lineup, just for personal reference:
Wheelies act as mushrooms, letting you roll two dice blocks, while Rex Wheelies let you roll three.
Warp Stars act as, well, Warp Blocks, letting you swap places with a random player.
The Dimension Mirror allows you to move backward along a board when used. (And this will be more costly, so as not to be absolutely broken like the Reverse Mushroom was.)
The Vat-luck moves Kawasaki to a different space.
The Noddy Network calls Nightmare upon a player of your choosing.
The Enticing Cheese calls Daroach, while the Stinky Cheese prevents Daroach from stealing from you.
The Dinner Bell warps you straight to Kawasaki.
The Invisibility Stone lets you walk through alternate pathways.
The Nebula Chest steals a random item.
The Dueler's Sword... is self-explanatory.
On the topic of boards:
I conceptualized 12 main boards for the game. At the moment, they are:
Augmented Area (Technology-themed.)
Foody Feilds (Grassland, Food-centric theming.)
Corruption Cavern (Mining cave theme.)
Dusky Drawings (Spooky Mansion + Art theme)
Basalt Boulevard (Fire/Lava theme)
Royalty Ring (Castle theme)
Headstrong Honky-tonk (A casino in Merry Magoland.)
Galvanized Garden
Sanguine Sands (Western theme)
Mauve Mountain
Impeccable Iceberg
Nightmare's Nexus (Space Theme)
I may end up removing some of these, adding more, or changing a few of these ideas around.
On the topic of characters:
The roster includes:
Kirby
King Dedede
Meta Knight
Bandana Dee
Marx
Gooey
Adeleine
Ribbon
Magolor
Taranza
Susie
Elfilin
With the following making an appearance as non-playable characters:
Kawasaki (as the host.)
Nightmare (filling Bowser's role.)
Escargoon (who owns the bank.)
Daroach (filling in for Boo.)
Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright (who operate the day/night cycle.)
and other well-known enemies (who serve the other roles as needed.)
Each playable character will have a unique outfit for every board except for two. No one will have a unique outfit on Basalt Boulevard, and everyone will have a unique outfit on Nightmare's Nexus.
The character that does not have a unique outfit on the given board plays an integral role at the end if they lose, triggering a boss fight that acts as a final minigame (sort of similar to the boss minigames in Mario Party 9).
And that's everything I had! I hope you guys like my ideas!
Oh, and be sure to look out for the art I'll be making for this in the future. I've already made a few things for it, but they're all so old now that I feel like revamping them.

The Vigilante Squad - The Knight - Chapter One
“Known as a betrayer, everyday I try to atone for my sins. When I discovered there were more of me, and that they had fallen from what I have escaped from, my hunt began.”
Chapter One
Someone who called himself ‘The Admin’ gave us an anonymous letter involving myself, Taranza, and Majaway. There was also a package for each of us. Taranza was cautious about opening it, but I trusted them. It would be hypocritical if I didn’t. We had a private meeting in the royal court room.
—-
Your Highness and Closest Allies, 
The Calamity has given us a hard time to survive on what little we have, but I have come to a solution. It is known as “The Vigilante Project.”
Before you, are sigils that give great power to repel Dark Matter. I am unsure of its origins. While it isn’t picky on who wields such power, it wouldn’t choose just anyone and will refuse to give power if you are unfit for it.
I have no interest in hero work. However I know that you are indeed desperate for survival. If you are truly determined to save the universe, I suggest using such power… The catch? If it chooses you, you won’t be able to back out of this offer. Take all the time you need, I’m a patient man, after all.
~ The Admin.
PS. I could only find 3 of them, I’m unsure as to where the 4th is.
—-
Opening up the package, Taranza gingerly picked up one of the silver emblems. After a brief examination, he abruptly dropped it, gasping. “H-HOW! WHY?!”
“What is it?!” I exclaimed,  “What’s wrong?”
“How did they get these things? Why did they get these things?! How did they get the Hero Sigils?”
My mind swam. I heard of those things before, but I thought those things were just part of a fairytale, but they’re real– They’re right there in front of all of us. But there’s only three of them. Where’s the fourth? Would it even work with just three of them?
“This… letter,” Majaway commented, “This entire scenario is sketchy. I can barely tolerate being stuck in the calamity– now I have to DO something about it? On top of this, not all of these little trinkets are here? One’s missing?! I don’t buy it. Count me out!” Reaching my hand out to grab hers, she swatted mine away before leaving. “When I make decisions, I stick with them. I can only handle shenanigans for so long. Unless there’s an immediate threat, leave me be. AND DON’T TOUCH ME!”
“S… sorry…” Respecting her wishes in defeat, I couldn’t think of anything else but what Kirby would do. He wouldn’t hesitate to take them and use them in the name of good. Why can’t I? Taranza looks so scared, and Majaway could be right. It could be a trick, or the sigils could be fake. 
“Someone who has been holding on to this must either have significant status or significant power,” Taranza explained, “According to the fairytale that I grew up with, Only the Soul Hero kept them safe.”
I was taken back. They say the Soul Hero is the only one who is still either alive and/or well. “Are you saying the Admin is Morpho Knight?”
“Who else could have kept them like this in such pristine condition?” Taranza quizzed, looking at the pretty emblems once more, “My only gripe is why the Dark Hero sigil isn’t here.”
“Maybe because the Dark Hero Sigil isn’t as good at repelling Dark Matter?” I asked.
Taranza revised the letter one more time, “If that were true, he wouldn’t have said that he lost it, nor would he say that he wouldn’t know of its origins” 
“Maybe it's to protect us?” I theorized, “Or to hide his identity?”
“That… certainly is a possibility,” He somewhat agreed, “Hunter… I know how you feel about Kirby. I know what he would do, but he’s easily fooled. You know this.” “I– I mean no offense, but so are you!” I scolded.
He tightened his lip before turning away from me, “Y-yeah but still…” he breathed. He turned back to hold my right hand. I flinched before easing into his touch. I could feel my bandages ripping under my mittens. “I don’t wanna do this… I won’t stop you however. I know you miss your powers since you got… hurt.”
“This isn’t about my powers! It’s about how I feel!” I couldn’t help but scold him more. I thought he knew me by now. I was there for him when he lost Sectonia, and he has the audacity to assume that I’m doing this in the name of power? “What happened was unfair, and I can’t stop thinking of what would happen to you if my melee weapons aren’t enough to save you.”
He slipped his dominant hand off of mine. “L-like I said,” he reiterated, “I’m not stopping you, Hunter.”
I was left alone. Before me were the three Hero Emblems. I managed to catch a glimpse of them. The first one resembles a crimson butterfly, the gem almost emitting a fiery glow as it caught the gentle light of the stars. Close to it was what almost looked like an empty void taking the shape of a moon, despite the afternoon glow, the gem didn’t even reflect any sort of light. Then finally, isolated from the others, the heart-shaped gem sat idly, with an irregular, almost pulsating glow emitting from its cracked center. 
I picked up the heart emblem first, putting it on. Nothing happened. I don’t think it likes me, but at least it gives me memories of a kinder past. I’ll be wearing this for a while. I nuzzled it against my belt buckle, and wandered around the courtroom. So many stained glass windows in front of me of previous kings and queens looked back at me, their cold gaze judging me from their stained glass. The air stank of history, oak, and judgment. With a heavy heart, I couldn’t stand being around here anymore, so with little hesitation, I left. 
I went back to my dorm room and lied down on my back. Though I didn’t really relax, I only tortured myself. The time in Another Dimension, the time of being an overlord and later a soul beast, and even now I can’t guarantee my own room as safe thanks to the darkness waiting patiently to swallow this kingdom whole. I have so many responsibilities. I’ve made and lost so many friends. Taranza is the only one I have left of whom I've held close for so long. Marx and Kirby. While I saw Marx die before me, I didn’t see Kirby die, so there’s hope. There has to be hope. Maybe he escaped or maybe he’s holding on, waiting for someone to save him and his friends. My eyes fluttered closed, and I felt myself grow heavy.
“I found you,” A hiss echoed. If I didn’t know any better I could have heard it in my head, but I know it’s somewhere in this room, “You wear something that I wore, except it’s no longer on one’s head, rather shown off in a row around your neck.”
I couldn’t help but stammer up, letting out a gasp of confusion and disorientation. No one was here. Why would anyone be here? It was the afternoon earlier, but now it’s the dead of night. I must have fallen asleep. 
I’m the only one who’s willing to pick up a hero sigil, so why isn’t it responding to me? Is it because I’m not worthy enough? Or does it believe that I think I’m not worthy enough? Of course it knows!
Many people have forgiven me, so why can’t I forgive myself?!
In a fit of rage, I ran back to the courtroom, scrambling back to those emblems, only to discover that they’re not there. Tears stung in my eyes as anger and panic finally engulfed me. Where are they? I was the last one to leave, wasn’t I? Is there a thief in the castle? Was it Majaway? Did Taranza throw them away?! Frantically, I searched the room, hoping that I didn’t place them somewhere I couldn’t recognize. I checked the curtains, I scrounged through the drawers, but nothing came up. Those are priceless artifacts. If someone took them, and they’re in the wrong hands, the castle itself will fall, and I cannot let that happen.
I heard a click, and In the corner of my eye, I noticed a shadow floating away. “STOP!” My voice couldn’t help but raise as I pursued chase. I would have caught him immediately if it wasn’t for my inability to use my powers— meanwhile he was abusing them, teleporting left and right, floating endlessly while I can’t even flutter. My jealousy grew the more I chased him.. After some struggle of my own strength, and that’s when I noticed it.
It was broken and dull, but the remaining shape was unmistakable. It was that… A Master Crown. I was livid. I couldn’t handle it anymore, and because of this, I chucked a dagger right on his crown. He grunted, checking the top of his head as a distraction. As I closed the gap between the two of us, I noticed similarities. The cloak, the ears— that energy sphere symbol. I pinned him down, forcing them to face me… noticing a large blood red eye staring back at me, with turquoise skin I knew all too well.
He holds the box tightly. I tried to swipe the box as quickly as possible. However with his grip simply too strong, the box started to strain and tear.The two remaining sigils flew out of the box. The both of us scrambled to catch them. I caught one of them, but the Thief caught one. I put the other two in my pocket before gripping onto his hand, trying to get his grip off.
There was a bright light shining from the one we were fighting for, blinding the both of us. Our grip loosened, and was dropped breaking the sigil. I quickly swiped it off the ground while he ran off. Thankfully he left empty handed. What was weird as to why the butterfly began to glow. I was wondering if it was rightfully his or not, and yet it still brilliantly glistened in my hand. Granted, it’s not as bright as it was, but it’s still reacting to me. I decided to switch the heart pendant with the butterfly, putting it back in the now beaten up box. I’ll report this once Taranza wakes up.

Hi! I couldn’t find if you did any Magolor + Reader ficlets, and if you did I’m so sorry (can I be directed towards it?) and if you didn’t could I request one?
Thank you in advance!
Signed, a huge Magolor fan
oh my gosh MY FIRST EVER REQUEST! Ahem… I worked on a Magolor fic for a while before but decided to not finish it, and then I got this ask! Then I finished it and here it is, it’s not as bad as I thought it was turning out yay! Btw I was writing it a bit self indulgently (it’s a little sad) since it’s not originally from this ask so I hope that’s okay with you. Also this is, indeed, the only fic with Magolor in it I currently have, you were right lol! I hope you like it, and happy reading!
Magolor + Reader
You were at home, crying. Nothing went wrong, but you were crying anyway. Life sucks for you. (And that’s okay.) Your phone had been ringing annoying alarms for at least five minutes straight before, but they eventually died out. Your friends must have realized you didn’t want company, which would’ve been good a few minutes ago, but suddenly you felt like you could handle having someone nearby now. And you also NEEDED to have someone nearby now. You decided to text your friends back finally, since you luckily had the strength to move at least.
You opened your phone. 94 messages?! That’s a lot! Well, it had been ringing for 5 minutes straight earlier. You were treated to reading the following messages:
SkyBaby (that’s Kirby btw, RecD reference): what’s wrong? u didn’t show up to the picnic i planned w/ u! No one likes to refuse food! Are u ok?
ChinchillaTheCutest (that’s Elfilin): Kirby told me you didn’t show up to his picnic. What’s going on? He seems worried about you, probably because you passed up the chance to eat, but I get that you were probably just busy! But seriously, Kirby’s gonna cry if you don’t tell him why you weren’t there.
TripleD (you know): kirby’s crying! i asked him what was wrong and he said u didn’t show up to his picnic! whats up w/that?
BlueberryBatman (you know this one too): I heard that you did not show to a hang-out with Kirby. I hope you are okay. (If you read my Meta Knight + Reader, you know why he’s so concerned lol)
Spidersarenerdsallofthem (Taranza, I’m keeping in line with the lore of my Taranza + Reader): The king told me you hadn’t gone to a meet-up you promised Kirby. Is there anything wrong? I, your best friend, cannot allow you to stay hurt if you are hurt!
Spidersarenerdsallofthem: Nevermind that, something just came up. It probably wasn’t anything serious anyway, it might have been just because you were busy! I hope you understand~
Egg: yo, wassup? i heard you didn’t show to a hangout w/ kirbs was it because you forgot or smth?
You decided to respond to Magolor. You hadn’t talked to him enough and wanted to get to know him better. The only time you got to talk to him was when Kirby took you to see Merry Magoland, so you didn’t really know him beyond what was probably just a customer-service smile. Although Kirby convinced you two to give each other your phone numbers since he wanted all his friends to be able to contact each other in the event of a new threat that needs the power of friendship to be defeated, neither of you called or texted the other until now.
Well, here goes nothing.
You: i didnt forget i just wasnt feeling up to it… wanna hang out? im feeling a bit better now and would like to get to know you
Egg: a friend of kirby’s is a friend of mine! omw
You were glad dreamland was so peaceful. There was so little crime, people could just go to the houses of almost-strangers! While Magolor was on his way, you texted Kirby an apology for not coming to his picnic. He took it well, but you were still guilty for no good reason.
You hear the doorbell ring, and it was much tougher to get up than it had been to pick up your phone. It felt like your bones were made of lead, and your muscles were feeling weaker than usual. You wanted to cry again. Apparently you weren’t as over your meltdown as you thought, but you still managed to do it and went to the door.
You opened the door, and there he was, waiting patiently. 
You smiled to be polite and greeted, “Hey Magolor.” 
He exclaimed, “Yo, y/n! Doing okay?” 
You answered, “No.” 
He looked sad. 
“Is that why you passed up the opportunity to spend time with Kirby?” 
“Yeah.” 
“Can I come in?”
You just nodded, and moved out of the way to let him in your house.
You closed the door and led him to the couch, where you both sat down. You wanted to ask him if you could vent to him, but you couldn’t possibly ask that. You just met him! Frick, why did you even invite him over just to do nothing?!
Fortunately, being the socially knowledgeable, charismatic person he is, Magolor could tell by your expression and body language, as well as what you told him earlier, that you had something you wanted to tell him, and he knew no one likes an awkward silence. “Wanna talk about it?” He sat there eagerly, ready to take whatever you told him.
“Well… I’m probably depressed. I spent a lot of today crying for no reason, and a bit ago, I’d have probably died if anyone spoke to me. But then I thought I should CALL A BORDERLINE STRANGER TO VENT TO THE SECOND I GOT LONELY, I’M SO SORRY I CALLED YOU HERE-” You started coughing and crying from your little outburst, to which Magolor replied by patting your back to help your respiratory system and worriedly telling you, “It’s okay-” 
“NO IT’S NOT OKAY!” You yelled, and started crying again. He looked concerned before, but now he tried to calm himself down for your sake. He asked, “Can I put my hand on your head for a sec?” You were bewildered, but nodded, still weeping. 
He started petting you. What? He kept doing it. When you were quiet enough to talk to, he reminded you, “Hey. Remember when we met at Merry Magoland? We talked for a little bit. So we’re not borderline strangers. Besides, if we’re in the world where Kirby can instantly convince enemies to become his friend and fight alongside him, we can be friends.”
Oh, he was right wasn’t he? Your wailing slowed to the occasional sob, and you looked at him again. He was still concerned, but happy you were getting better. He continued to pet you, and you quietly reached out and pet him, too. He started PURRING. Oh gosh a kitty! you thought.
In your already emotional state, his cuteness and kindness made you cry again for some reason, but more quietly this time. It seemed like anything would make you want to cry now. He just hugged you (or, pressed his hands against you comfortingly, since he has no arms it’s the closest he can get). “There, there.”
You hugged him back and muttered, “Thank you.”
“Anytime. By the way, my dude, wanna play Minecraft? I’m sure it’ll show us the power of best friends!”
Giggling at the sudden change in vibes and glad to think about something else, you two played minecraft the rest of the day and loved it. The end!

meta knight for the ask thing
boop
First impression: When I was just a wee lad my uncle bought me a little indie game called Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Me and my buddies weren't very good at the game because we were like, 10, but we noticed that we would get more kills whenever we played Meta Knight. I had no concept of tier lists or op/broken characters or whatever but everyone knew there was smth up with MK. Brawl is. Not the best Smash Bros. by a long shot but it's got the most personality and MK sure was memorable. Impression now: He's still my favorite character, what makes him work is that for people that normally wouldn't like cutey games he's the Grumpy Bear they can relate to. The poster boy of the old phrase "real men play Kirby". But even then he still participates with Kirby and crew in their silly adventures, like the grown adult playing Kirby he's really not-so-above it all. Favorite moment: It's cliche but I liked the Kirby characters in Smash so much that I got Kirby's Adventure on the eShop. I was fascinated by the candy and the boss fights, but my tiny brain was obliterated when the mask snapped in half haha. Idea for a story: One of the problems with MK right now is that the mysterious aspect is starting to wear thin. The thing about looking like Kirby is interesting and all but we all know it's never going to be elaborated on. For that matter his lack of clear motivations is less intriguing and more frustrating after fighting him over and over. While this will never happen, I think the best approach to MK is that he wants to be strong. We tend to associate things that are soft and cute with things that are weak, stuff that is hard and edgy is considered strong. While Dreamland has accepted Kirby's existence, outsiders like Taranza assume DDD is the hero of the land while Susie and the Mages have trouble believing Kirby is capable of putting up a fight. Point is this seems like a bias that applies to this universe as well. MK knows he can't be treated seriously as a warrior because of his appearance hence the mask and whatnot. Then his fights with Kirby can be re-contextualized as Meta Knight trying to prove his strength. It's still silly when you think about it, but it's a more understanding explanation that he just likes to fight a lot. Unpopular opinion: I don't love this question, what's a hot take in one side of the community is a cold take on the other side. I guess I think that Meta Knight's Revenge should be retconned. It won't be because it's super iconic and everyone's favorite Super Star subgame (I know it's mine) but it clashes with the series current direction for the character and also. Is a literal attempt at a fascist takeover and. Okay when Magolor was crowned with the evil macguffin and turned into a big evil wizard so he can take over the galaxy that was easier to excuse because wizards aren't real. Magolor still did a dick move but at least wasn't anything realistic (also there's the implication he wasn't in control the whole time) whereas the events of Meta Knight's Revenge hit just a little too close to home. Not nearly as badly the events of Planet Robobot do, but man that sure is a thing that. Happened.
Favorite relationship: I don't care for their literal relation, like if they are the same species or whatever, but ofc I want to know what he really thinks of Kirby. Kirby himself I think just doesn't care, no matter who he faces he just =. But MK clearly feels strongly about him for some reason, and I wouldn't care as much if not for Galacta's appearance. Yes in the grand scheme of things it's another Kirby looking Knight who has smth to do with Void lore I guess but I don't care about that. Galacta Knight's original purpose in a meta (heh) sense is that he was Meta Knight's final boss. So they way they went about designing him was making him the opposite of Meta Knight, whose already supposed to be Kirby's edgy rival, resulting in a soft looking knight. Again I don't care for literal relation, I just really like the irony that MK is seemingly self conscious over looking cute but here are these other cute things that exist to kick his ass. Favorite headcanon: While I don't love the takeover part I still like the Halberd crew, again this is kinda canon/theory in that in was implied in game but I like that MK seems to really care for his crew but doesn't know how to express it. He acts aloof because it's a part of his cool persona but also because he genuinely does not know how to properly respond. I didn't shut up about him for the Daroach ask but I think he'd be a little jealous of how much more personal the Squeaks are. For that matter, while he's friends with some of Castle DDD he's not as friendly as DDD is and as such doesn't really know DDD's buddies like Ado, Ribbon, and Taranza maybe let's throw him in.

fav ships?
Mod Susie: Capitalism X Communism, Electricity X Robot, and Knight X King... also known as Marxolor, SuZan and Metadede.
Mod Ribbon: i like metadede, zansusie, marxolor, morphogala, taranza x therapy. also whatever kirby x fluff x ribbon is called because i'm dying on this stupid rarepair hill. i’ve taken to calling it rock kandi (bc crystals, beads, candy, friendship bracelets, yknow,,? it’s a bunch of relevant puns smushed into one if that makes sense)
Mod Taranza: Taranza X Morpho for the absolute win!! But also Marukabi, Marxolor, Taranzalor, anything with Meta Knight within legal boundaries, and also Mod Morpho made a crackship between nova and the queen and ripple star and it absolutely requires explanation, but I will stand for it
Mod Morpho: MorphoRanza, MaruKabii, MetaGala, SuZanne, and my crack ship SailorCisca. I also ship RibbonLace but that’s AU related also is it weird I have Kirby OCs
Bandanna Moddle Dee: Sailor and Bandanna are adorable together and I hc that Sailor has a huge crush on him.
Mod SKirby: honestly all of mine are nameless rarepairs...(aka I made em up and I’m 80% sure no one would like em) Metadedede’s cool though.
Mod Galacta: hm I wouldn’t say I have a favorite but, some of the ones I really like are Metagala, Metadede, Kirfluff, Marukabi, Marxolor, Morphoranza! (there are probably a lot more but these are just the ones i can think of off the top of my head)
Mod Gooey: I don’t ship anything, at least not romantically. I don’t feel romantic attraction/feelings so it’s kind of hard for me to imagine romantic relationships between characters.

Taransusie is so god damn underrated I'm going crazy here. Like.. there is no content and I'm scared to put mine out there. But anyway, you got any more hcs for a fellow starving anon??
ANOTHER TARANSUSIE ENTHUSIAST!?
Ikr? There isn't much content about them but it just motivates me to either make my own or appreciate what's already here!
Im saying that i would definitely appreciate more content of the ship, so don't feel scared of putting them out there!
Here are some more taransusie hcs:
At night, sometimes instead of talking, one of them streams a game while the other does commentary. Its usually just them in a call, one streaming and the other watching. One time, they played through a PMD game and got attached with the characters. They both cried at the ending djdkdjdjdk
They usually hang out with the others(kirby, ddd, meta, bd, marx, magolor, etc) and sometimes drag them(or even get dragged into) their antics. They held a brewing competition and what came out of it was that they both were in charge of drinks for most events in Dreamland now.
Taranza and Susie both like photography but in different ways. Taranza likes photography and takes more picturesque shots, he likes taking photos of scenery. Susie likes taking selfies, pictures of food, etc. While different, they both enjoy each other's gallery. Taranza's photos are beautiful and pretty while Susie's photos are something to look back on to and remember and maybe feel nostalgia for.
When one of them is feeling down or in a rough spot, the other would go and comfort them in person(sometimes with snacks). Taranza just sped out of his house, ice cream in hand, to comfort Susie. Another time, Susie bought donuts and rushed over to Taranza to just be there for him. They got each other's backs and care for each other a lot.
I hope these hcs are enough and thanks for stopping by!

(My) Magolor: You can call me Maggy my taranza calls me that already
Kirby: Maggy? *smiles* I like that! *excitedly turns to his Magolor* Can I call you “Maggy” too!?
AtKS!Magolor: *sweating* …Please don’t do that.
AtKS!Magolor: Just stick to “Mags” or something, alright? Even “Mago” is fine.
AtKS!Magolor: B-besides, calling both of us “Maggy” would be confusing.
AtKS!Magolor: So, uh, don’t.
((Should I be tagging my versions of the characters when two of the same one are present? I feel like it should be obvious that the characters I’m writing are mine, but… I dunno. I’ll do it for now I guess.))

The Vigilante Squad - The Hero Sigils - Epilogue
Midnight struck. Dark Taranza and the Princess had a night full of sugary lies and tenderness, and as the princess’s afterglow put her to sleep in his guest room, Dark Taranza immediately went to work. 
The dark castle he lives in had an unending library, with uncountable books and even more dust. What seemed to be a fairytale was something he had to discover for himself, and after so long, he could finally put his plan into action. 
Grabbing a book that was out of place, he nudged it towards him, wriggling it until he heard a snap, and slid it out of its undeserving spot. He flipped through pages, finally sighing once he saw the pocket he had created.
“Four. We have four potential vessels to call my own,” he muttered, “And the dress is ready.” He plucked an emblem from the book’s cavity, examining it carefully. With a few spare hands, he slid out a case from his pocket, prying it open and revealing reading glasses, slipping and fixing it on his face. “The Dark Hero’s Emblem. They say it’s more of a curse rather than a blessing.” He hovers towards the guest room, keeping his eyes glued to the princess’s sleeping form: his prey. While slipping off his glasses, putting it in his case, he got to work. “I feel almost bad for doing this to someone so beautiful, but… I need to make sure you don’t leave my sight. I need you to stick around.” 
Gaiakon shifted in her sleep, groaning softly.
His face cracked a smirk, placing two different accessories of attire across from her on the guest’s desk. “Fear not, for I won’t force this burden upon you. With an outfit like this, how could you deny a divine gift?” The dress was a beautiful emerald green, etched flawlessly without any sort of mistakes, and the tiara was a lovely silver, fanning open with a design of serrate leaves. One more thing needed to be done with the tiara, however. The emblem was flipped upside down, and with glue, he placed a brilliant gem to keep the tiara from falling apart.
With the confidence of an accomplished schemer, the kitchen was his next destination. In a case filled with elegant bottles, he slipped one out while another set of hands rummaged about in cabinets. While discovering a chalice, he placed it on an island’s counter, then turned and poured the crimson blend into said glass, taking a sip. Feeling lazy, he floated towards a glass crooked chair nearby in the dining hall before fluttering down. He felt relaxed and warm while leaning his head back. “It must be stressful… fighting such beasts… those emblems will help. I’m sure of it…” He took another swig, his head in the clouds. “Because of such help… this will be child’s play. This universe… will be saved, and inevitably mine.”
With his breath in the evening, and his goblet of red empty, He laborly stumbles into the kitchen’s sink. While cleaning his clouded dish, he flips it upside down clumsily. His room is all he’s thinking about. “The vigilante squad… that’s what I will call it.”
“They’re my toys, and I will be there to make sure they aren’t broken.”
