Hi sorry to bother you but I just wanted to say that as an autistic person Starstruck makes me want to cry. I love her so much let her live the happy life she deserves with people that accept and care about her. That “otherness” or feeling of being “incorrect” and being seen as suspicious/ostracized for it was absolutely NAILED and it HURTS SO GOOD. I just really wanted you to know that. It’s nice to see someone like me in media, especially in something like the Kirby franchise. Thank you.
ohhhhh i am SO thrilled to receive this message because i am autistic, and by extension so is starstruck, and this was entirely on purpose! i'm so happy that you feel i nailed it! thank YOU for letting me know this; it's the highest praise i could have hoped to receive!
this was intentional autistic representation by an autistic creator and i am over the moon that it's connecting with you! her inability to "have the right magical signature" and her "mimicry of the signatures around her in attempt to fit in" is explicitly a (rather ham-fisted, if i'm being honest) autistic parallel, especially towards masking.
there are obviously parts of her story that aren't explicitly parallel (she is still a little alien after all, and there's going to be Fun Dramatic Aspects that my real life autistic experience sadly lacks), but for what it's worth i'm really happy that this purposeful allegory was noticed!
thank you again so much for writing in, it means the world

(I wanted this for future reference, transcript of Martyn’s defense below.)
I’m gonna go with ‘not the asshole’! Bros before hoes, and bros before bones. It’s an age old rule, it’s an age old tradition. And this friend, supposed friend, completely went against that. And why wouldn’t they wanna join the company, the kingdom, whatever it is? Why not? I think they should.
Your friends know you better than your partner ever will in those early stages, and if they can see that they’re a wrongin’ from the get-go… It’s not nice doing the ‘ha, told you so,’ or anything like that. I think the friend should’ve listened to the friend. I think the friend should’ve listened to the author.
‘Are you biased?’ No, this isn’t me. So… Don’t know what you’re talking about. I dunno, man.
‘You’re the asshole if you have to gaslight people to make your point, your point is invalid.’ Nah, but some people need to see the world through a different lens. That’s why you have to… sort of… tell a little white lie, and then when that person rebuttals it, and all the truth comes out. It’s like poking at the beehive, right? Poking it’s not pleasant, it’s not nice, and you might get stung, BUT at least, you know, this all goes through.
[Reading chat.] ‘They were husbands, how is that early stages?’ They got married fast, I don’t know what to tell you. They were married after the first day. I saw an edit on the post afterwards, and they said (…) they got married after a day, so this was like a shotgun wedding. This was a shotgun wedding, felt a bit cult-y, felt a bit, y’know… bit weird and a bit rushed. So, I dunno, man.

Blog 1: lol anyone else seeing a lot of strawberries in new recipes now? sometimes its fun but i really dont get the appeal of adding it to everything. why did you make strawberry garlic bread
Blog 2: u kno im not a fan of strawberries, i really like the rich sweet and sour notes from oranges, oranges and chocolate is such a good combo. i altered a recipe for a smoothie with oranges last week and it was soooo good ill give you my notes if you want
Reblogged by: Blog 1: ahaha yesss i love chocolate and oranges
Blog 3: I canNOT believe the hate im seeing to strawberries right now, like, you know guys know the rule don't like don't bake right?? you know you can hit the back button right?? honestly what's wrong with yall
Open draft- wait guys you know there's a difference between leaving a comment on a recipe saying you hate strawberries and the recipe writer should never use them, and going to your own blog to say you don't really like strawberries, without naming any specific people or recipes right? you know there's a difference right?? - Save - Post - Discard
Draft discarded
Blog 4: why is everyone jumping on the strawberry hate train right now. what is wrong with you.
Reblogged by: Blog 5: I knowwww like guys some people stop baking because of reading things like that, please stop it, if you don't like strawberries you can be quiet about it
Open draft- im so sorry if anyone's getting sent mean messages or comments about what they're writing and baking, but i'm literally not seeing any of that and if you are, please use the block button. but someone making a post on their own blog is not that, and if you can't see the irony in you being allowed to complain on personal blogs but not them i can't help you... - save- post- discard
Draft discarded
Blog 2: are strawberries even in season?
Blog 6: woo cherry pie!

the funniest moment I ever had in a trust was in the hydaelyn fight when I got a stack marker and all the scions came running over to me and then. then. at the very last second every single one of them ran out from under the stack to group in the middle (AI anticipating the next attack I presume) and the stack went off .0001 seconds after they ABANDONED me before I could catch up and the wol's mom resundered the shit out of my poor lizard boy. the sheer and utter betrayal of that moment. exquisite. hydaelyn was like yeah you guys should probably just get on the moon ship and gtfo

does anyone want to find someone from Dan's team on Feb 10-11 and ask what the fuck is going on with merch bundles on live.danielhowell.com? like, why they are available only in a handful of countries, and no one else has access to them.
team aka merch people, Martyn, Rosie, Dan's manager (if they are gonna be there)
i get that the only people who can be slightly interested are europeans who suddenly don't have access to what UK, Germany and the Netherlands have.

Went to a medical talk I wasn't feeling tonight purely so I can leverage the gossip machine (I'm not going to deliberately steal someone from another practice for my patients that would be poaching... but if they should Just So Happen to hear that there might be a job going... well that's none of my business is it)
