(I don't know to what degree you count the anime, but since I love Sword and Blade...) I wanted to ask what Prisma would think of Sword and Blade, given that Meta Knight took them in after the war, they're kinda like his adopted street children. They'd probably be delighted to hear that Meta Knight has a kind of sister and want to meet her. Found family my beloved...🙏

Any friend of their lord is a friend of theirs :)

Edit: Realizing I missed answering part of the ask DHSJDS but she likes them! They're very respectful and kind to her and she appreciates it.

#prisma knight #borbology #sword knight #blade knight #they respect her as much as they do meta #especially knowing that she and meta were war partners #they want to learn from her too

I've been thinking about the relationship Meta Knight could have with Sidia if/when they ever met and the emotions of believing that for all intesive purposes they were the last survivors of the war. In a way, I also think Sidia basically being stranded for all this time since then actually maks Kit Cosmos the one who can relate to him the most :p

Growing up, Meta Knight did admire Sidia Knight, since he had him as one of his mentors. Meta even adopted some of Sidia's philosophies about being a strong/a knight. It's a sad coincidence that both of them got separated from their troops and ended up believing that they were the last remaining Star Warrior ;;

Sidia can relate to Kit on some levels, most notably the similarity of being stranded somewhere after the war, but the difference comes when you learn that Sidia is much more jaded after the war, since he knows it's over and believes most of his allies (many of whom were friends) have died.

This leads him to struggle to find purpose in his life. He's alive...but at the cost of his whole troop. So what else is there to fight for? Can he even call himself a knight anymore? What is a knight...with no home to guard, no loved ones to protect, and has ultimately failed his mission?

Prisma as a character is a very guilt-ridden individual whose arc is all about overcoming the mistakes of her past and learning to embrace the person she is, despite her missteps and failures. It's always hard for her to reunite with people she used to be close to because she fears they wouldn't be happy to see her after thinking for so long that she had died.

But to her surprise, everyone she once knew is always overjoyed to see she survived. Even when she thinks they should hate her for running away.

Reuniting with her old mentor would be especially daunting given that she completely ruined a mission that she was put in charge of. She let her hubris get the bet of her, and feels she let him down the most since he believed she could do it.

She couldn't be more mistaken though.

He would be one of, if not, the happiest to see her alive. The news of her death was devastating to him, and it's something that he felt terrible about for a long time. What a joy to see she survived.

THOSE LAST COUPLE CHAPTERS HIT HARD

I just got caught up on your fic and I always oh so love the interactions between the three knight bros. I also adored how you wrote the interactions between Meta Knight and Dedede. I'm a huge fan of redededemption arc and it's why in my hcs I count (an altered version of) the anime as a precursor to the games. I really think that anime Dedede gets a little more hate than he should. He's selfish and a jerk but he's been like that in the games too. I don't like it when people characterize anime Dedede as truly evil and undeserving of redemption because he's meant to be seen more as downright childlike to a fault, even having fits and not being able to read. He's more negligent of real danger even when he's the one causing it than he is downright cruel, and that was proven in the episode where he really thought Kirby died (which was actually a pretty fucked up thing to pull imo). My point is that I think that's exactly how Meta Knight sees him in the anime. Bothersome, spoiled, and a conductor for events that become far more serious than he ever thinks they are. Truly, Dedede has no idea what he's up against with Nightmare, and Meta Knight doesn't hold him responsible for that. He's just there to make sure nothing goes too wrong and shrugs off the childlike berating Dedede gives him afterwards. But for all of that Dedede never stays mad at Meta Knight, and likewise Meta Knight looks out for Dedede in a way by also making sure his exploits don't go out of hand and harm him (since he knows Dedede is playing with fire when it comes to the monsters). Even for the flawed parts of anime Dedede's characterization he's just an immature king who isn't actually that much of a feal threat, just like in the games -- and Meta Knight is his loyal knight who puts up with his antics. Sorry for the drabble but again my point is I just felt like you nailed their interactions PERFECTLY. I can absolutely see in your writing the potential for how their friendship would grow overtime. All the characters really are just silly fellas, reading them gives off those same vibes from the anime. Anyway, I just wanted to compliment you over that .o.

uwhjg. thank you !!😭 dedede has always been a fun character to write whether it’s a serious scene or a silly one, and i wanted to set them on the same course they take in the games. of course, it’ll still be a long time before everyone sets aside their differences enough to become friends, but it’s a start. matching the characterization of the show while doing everything i wanted to was a challenge, but it’s good to hear it paid off! dedede is misled and inexperienced, but he’s still dedede. there are inklings of the character we know today, it’ll just take time for him to grow from his original characterization. like, it takes until triple deluxe for kirby and dedede to really work together. now that nightmare’s gone, it’ll probably follow a similar course.

i’ve had one or two people mention leading up to 93 that not a lot of writers look at mk & ddd’s relationship in too much depth, and i agree. i didn’t get into is as much as i would’ve liked to, but i tried to include it whenever i could because they’re so interesting. you see them hanging out like friends but you also see them constantly denying the other’s wishes and fighting about it later. not to mention the whole ‘let’s blow up the halberd’ debacle. we’ll talk about that another day. but to my original point, dedede gets shelved a lot in favor of developing other characters and it’s a shame. he’d be just as important after nme’s destruction. he’s still got kirby to deal with, after all. it’s not like he and meta knight never interact, either. i’ve inserted a lot of scenes but there are plenty of times mk just shows up in the throne room to ask about something. even things like mk helping dedede with his plan to get kirby into the grand prix in 35/36 are suggested by the fact dedede and escargoon are in the storage room with him when he talks to kirby. these scenes are really only baseless in episodes where the knights don’t appear at all (i’m pretty sure they aren’t actually in 93).

i’d like to say dedede starts to realize just how serious things are after 89 because of the whole…incident with mk, but because that didn’t really happen, it’s not reflected in the show. maybe it’s more in the back of his mind, sort of a ‘no, that can’t be right!’ thought that he can’t quite dismiss. by the time the destroya come along, he just goes along with things because he wants to stop the attack. he certainly understands the danger once they’re at there fortress, so he has to have realized at some point. i think meta knight also starts to gain a level of respect for him after my made-up 89 epilogue, if only because he brought him back to sword and blade to make sure he was safe after. they wouldn’t have fought so openly in 93 if it were the beginning of the show—dedede might’ve been a little upset, but what’s it matter? meta knight is just another soldier under his lead. they’ve been through a lot by the end, and they’re going to go through more.

i wish the show gave them more interactions. i think that’s part of the problem. all you really see of them is mk asking questions from time to time, and it doesn’t establish anything beyond their usual fronts. it feels uninteresting and surface-level. but there’s so much more there that can be brought out simply by removing them from the situation and letting them talk on their own.

shit i just thought of something so i’m gonna talk a little more—the opening of 60 is sort of a fun example. their interaction is very short, but shows a lot. dedede and escargoon come into the courtyard with their destroyed car, and dedede shouts for meta knight to get down there and help. sure, it can be read as a nothing command, but it’s also a declaration of ‘this is serious, we need /your/ help because i know you know what you’re doing.’ he doesn’t call for the waddle dees to line up at the gate and prepare to battle, he calls for meta knight’s help specifically. (i’m pretty sure sirica asks about star warriors before blasting them, but i’m not sure she ever says mk’s name. they probably don’t know she’s actively looking for him at this point.)

i wanted to express everyone as having room to change, because that’s part of what the series is about. it’s about love and it’s about change, and even if the anime isn’t so bubbly bright and happy as the games, the anime is about that, too. they all have their own lives and they all have places they’re going, even if we don’t get to see what happens after they get home to dreamland. these aren’t static characters, as simple as they seem. they have history, they’re layered, and yes, they are very, very silly. letting that potential go ignored would be a crime, wouldn’t it?

Not really an animal fact but the thought of Meta Knight stuffing his face with sweets such as marshmallows and cakes like how bats eat bananas has been rotting in my brain for months. I have a video but it won't let me put it here :p

Do yourself a favor and google "bats eating bananas." It will do your mind some good.

I guess Mochi being around means that Meta Knight has a nephew now <3

Will he do fun/crazy uncle things with Mochi?

Uncle Papa Meta likes spending time with Mochi, though he is still a bit too young to start his training or do anything too dangerous. But he does enjoy taking him for a flight or getting sweet treats with Kirby <3

Is Prisma a morning person?

"I like to wake up early! I feel a lot more productive and happy when I wake up with the sun."

#prisma knight #borbology #she has a growing collection of mugs with words on them

[ask-prismaknight]

Oh Prisma, we all know that Meta Knight must have tried to make you a cake but it didn't turn out so good... Has he always been that helpless with cooking? Well, it's the thought that counts 🎂🍰 Happy birthday! :>

"Lucky for him, I love to bake! So I've been teaching him a thing or two lately..."

"I'm quite proud of the progress he's made."

#borbology #meta knight #prisma knight #kirby #kirby oc #meta really wanted to learn to bake so he has something to satiate his sweet tooth #but being able to make a birthday cake for his dear friend...that brings him joy as well #hes still not the best cook but he is finding he loves to bake desserts thanks to prisma

Has Prisma seen DMB's pretty hair?

[startistdoodles]

I can't stop imagining Prisma scolding Meta Knight like a misbehaving animal after the events of ROMK

If she was there, she would have likely given him a good bonk on the head with her staff for it lol

But since she only heard about the whole ordeal years later she just kinda teases him about it (though I'm sure she gave him an earful too)

#ask #my art #prisma knight #meta knight #kirby #kirby oc #borbology

[startistdoodles]

Prisma is really such a fair ruler. It makes me think about just how much she'd hate slavery of any kind. I wonder how she'd react if she was exposed to it in any way. The only thing that came to mind was what Susie did to Meta Knight. Not only did she certainly force him to do her bidding, she also took away his ability to resist. Not to mention it happened to her friend. How would Prisma have reacted to the whole Mecha Knight ordeal?

Yeah, she does strive to do her best as a queen <3 Prisma loves her subjects and is as fair to them as she can be. She isn't a perfect ruler or anything, (especially considering she has little to no prior experience as a figure of authority) but her subjects very much respect her.

As for the whole Robobot thing, if she had been there to see it, it definitely would have distressed her. Not just purely based on Mecha Knight (though that would hurt a soft spot in her since they are friends) but she thinks the whole mechanization of everything and taking natural resources from a planet that needs it is not a good idea. Seeing her friend get mechanized would absolutely hurt, but seeing the same thing happen to so many other innocent people would hurt her as well.

She just is not a very power-focused person in general, so when others use their power over others it rubs her the wrong way. She has the same criticism for Meta Knight when he tried to take over Dreamland by force lol

At least they are sorry about the incidents they caused and are doing their best to rectify it. She respects that a lot.

#including taranza bc he did the same thing as susie just not on as broad of a scale #still deserves a talking to tho #i do think both of them are mainly following orders from the people they are working under but they are still responsible for some things #so prisma would probably. scold them a bit HDKJSJDDSJ bc shes a mom like that #ask #my art #borbology #prisma knight #taranza #susie haltmann #kirby #kirby oc

[startistdoodles]

When Prisma says that she was too late... Is it because she thinks it was DMB who infected the baby with dark matter?

Something tells me whatever happened, happened before the baby landed, though... 🤔

Yeah :( Even if he didn’t touch the baby, she fears that DMB’s presence alone was enough to infect the child, even if it wasn’t his intention to.

Interesting 👀 Perhaps you should trust your intuition on that…
