🪞 Fallen angel... who do you see staring back from the Mirror? 🪞
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Galacta Knight and my personal interpretation of his Mirror World counterpart. GK hovers above facing slightly to our left, his feathery wings spread wide, shaded in lilac and tipped with gilded wing talons, a swallow-like tail visible. He holds his shield forward in his left hand (our right) and his lance to the side in his right (our left), a single magenta eye leering at the viewer through the visor of his mask. A halo of heart spears floats and shines angelically behind his horns. Below him, M!GK hovers in the same pose but flipped horizontally and without the halo. Visually, M!GK has mostly the same features as GK, with his color palette being darker and less saturated (dusty purple body, dark gray armor, gray mask, maroon lance, rose-gold horns and weapons accents). His eyes are not visible in the shadow of his mask, but there are signs of erosion running down the metal surface in rusty orange lines, almost like tear tracks. Instead of feathery wings, M!GK has wings composed of jagged shards of pink crystal, glittering and lit from within by a luminous glow. A few pale feathers can still be seen peeking out from his back. END ID.)
Hey, so... what if... I went a little insane for a minute? What if I just... concepted a character... for the sequel... to an AU... I've told no one about... and haven't even finished writing yet? What if I then... pulled the salt shaker labeled "ANGST" out of the pantry and just... unscrewed the cap all over this poor lad? Oh, and Galacta Knight's here, too, I guess.
Sketch started 02/21/24, render started 03/01/24, finished 03/06/24.

Rewatching jatp for the [redacted] time and thinking about how Rose was the last person to talk to the boys before they died which led me to think about the fact that she must have bedazzled the Sunset Curve shirt afterwards.
She would’ve been there when the show got canceled since they didn’t come back and then found out what happened. But she bedazzled in anyways. Not only did she keep that shirt for 25 years but she personalized it, poured love into it. Rose saw the boys perform at a rehearsal once and talked to them once and still saw something worth not only remembering and preserving in a representation of their music but something worth making her own in order to showcase that brief but vital connection they all had.
I’m still so unwell about this show

The aptly named Blue Star Company holds claim to the various iron roads of the old state of Nevada with an equally iron fist for around a century in the current year of 2281. There is a people behind the company, after the founder had followed a pack of razorback boars out west.
Now, they're a semi nomadic community that herd grazing boars and horses, the former who are used for their tusks and lard while the latter for the company to rent out or to sell as meat. The majority of the community stays on the road, living in train carts, though there are a few permanent safe havens in various train stations and rail yards.
featuring! Rose Angela Magbantay, the second in command (and right hand arm, self proclaimed silly rabbit of the CEO, founder, and leader), along with a very young Aries, who will learn to love traveling and hold title of a particular courier.
Extra information on the community:
The group is known by different names: Belliskers, from los obeliscos in North Nevada that serve as warnings for nuclear dumping sites; Backers, from the similar razorbacks; or Packers, half as confusion of the consonant sound and half from the business. BSC (Bisk) and BX (Backs) are the most used abbreviations, along with BS, from those who felt wronged by past trades. Iron Runners or Roadrunners was a more popular name in the early days.
The founder, Anzie Silverton, has had BSC officially incorporated under NCR law a few decades ago, though she demands her account to be kept in caps. She equally trades with smaller settlements, as well as a spokesperson for that one big, red group from the east. Not her circus, not her monkeys, she says, and all information on her trades are kept locked down on a terminal (VERY HARD).
The community is around a group of perhaps 60+, who are quite active in the Mojave yet themselves depend on quite a bit on trade for more water than they can collect, as well as vegetables and textiles. They also raise children intracommunity together. Aries himself can't really pinpoint if he was an orphan or not, even if there was no specific person to call mama.
