This is the story led to the deletion of my tumblr, by the way! I noncon, age-gap, forced-femme'd my OC (with a side of mindbreak) in an AU to write a good end (!) lesbian romance with him and his "girl + friend" and...

...someone responded to it in a way that really hurt.

...Oops, I forgot about this place so hard that I didn't bother to delete it when I deleted my tumblr, haha. Well, too tired to do that now so I guess this place can stay as the last bastion of what the Desultory Novice account was.

Kirbtober 2025 - Day 5 "Fav. Character"

They are all (Dark Matter Swordsman, Marx, Magolor) my favorite character and I am not picking between them! Doesn’t mean THEY won’t fight over it though! 😆

Kirbtober 2025 Day 2 "Forgotten"

Unpopular opinion time but I genuinely like the Beast Pack. While I know many will not agree, I did not think they were shallow or forgettable or poorly handled.

Kirbtober 2025 Day 1 "Heart"

I love Hyness and everything he represents as far as the Kirby series stance on people, forgiveness, and friendship

We're still celebrating Marx and Magolor's middle-birthday over on Tumblr! This is the second (and last) piece I drew for the event! #Kirby #Marxolor

またまたマホマル真ん中バースデーの絵。今回テーマは「愛らしさ」と「苦悩」。クラマホ描くのちょっと楽しくなってきた。
Traitor Magolor EX holds a much smaller, laughing, winking Marx in his hands. His expression is torn, a glistening in his red eyes while the Master Crown sits heavy upon his head. His dark magenta cape flows around the two of them while wisps of blue flame and fragments of gold decorate their environment.

That is, in short form, how I got in the habit of drawing Adeleine and Dark Matter Swordsman as a pair of sad orphans struggling to find hope and meaning in a desolate world

(Also because that's my favorite genre of fiction lol)
Adeleine along with Dark Matter Swordsman as a young human boy, a personalized depiction of the character that I've named "Noir." (Partly cause Adeleine's name sounded French and partly for his "identity.") He is patting her head in a gentle, brotherly way while she smiles up at him. They're depicted in cool straw tones, though Noir is significantly more in shadow than Adeleine, hinting at his emotional state.

It seems I never posted about my personal Kirby HC/pet theory that I spun off into a whole AU, here but here's the basic breakdown of it. See the ALT text for descriptions.

Either way, it could be fun to find out if I was *completely* off base with this one or maybe onto something...?! 👀
#Kirby
How the theory started. After seeing the way the Master Crown corrupted Magolor, especially in the true Arena, like a twisted step between himself and a generic Dark Matter, it made me wonder if Dark Matter Swordsman had originally been something or *someone* else before Kirby's first encounter with him...? Unused (or IS IT?! /silly) settei of Dark Matter Swordsman from Dream Land 2 next to the Kirby 64 credits picture of Adeleine for comparison. Any similarities could just be that these are like, the only sketchy images we have of two of the only human-looking characters in Kirby. They've both got short, kinda spiky hair, but they don't exactly dress alike. Not that we can see DMS's body past the armor. ...Which, FWIW, is how I came up with the idea that it was the sword + armor that corrupted the Swordsman into the form we're familiar with. DMS's depiction is honestly all over the board. The armor, and most frustratingly, the eye. Of course the Mass Attack mini game is not mainline by any means but you still have to wonder why he looks SO different there. Either way, his eye has to be either gray, white, or purple in his DL2 debut, and it's *definitely* purple in Clash. It's this weird orange mark in Robobot, but I have to think that's some byproduct of the cloning process/Star Dream else...why go out of the way to call him the "clone" if he's functionally identical?! IMO, it has to be because there is some aspect of the clone that is not identical to the original incarnation, and I think it's the eye color. ...Which leads me to Adeleine. 64 and Star Allies are the only games she's confirmed to be the same Adeleine in. So why'd they suddenly change her eye color from green to purple?! Not that I necessarily believe having purple eyes would *force* her to be tied to DMS, but that's certainly why I made them be related in my HC. Anyway, thank you for reading through all that.

On Tumblr, we’re celebrating Marx and Magolor’s middle-birthday with a "Marxolor Week!" I drew this for today’s prompts! #Kirby #Marxolor

マホマル真ん中バースデーに上げた絵の一つです。
テーマは「距離感」と「チャーム」でした。
Magolor and Marx are portrayed as a pair of acrylic charms dangling on a charm bracelet with beads that read "Magolor" "+" "Marx" However, Magolor and Marx express sadness and frustration, respectively, that their positions on the charm bracelet are not nearly as "close" as they want to be and are trying to reach out toward each other.

The first two test reads (ie: sample chapters) are up for the newest #Kirby novel, the one starring #Bandee and the Waddle Dees (with Skirby and DMK too.)

I’ve been writing up these little summaries of what’s been posted so far if anyone is interested!

Sorry to neglect you, Bluesky! After what feels like forever, I finally have new #Kirby comic to share! The secret of Squeak Squad's notorious opening revealed at last...! XD

Finally drew something new and Kirby-related that wasn't intensely specific to my AU! (aka, that I feel more comfortable sharing!)

And Happy 18th Birthday to Kirby: Squeak Squad! (Nov 2nd) I love you, very silly game~! (Maybe I just love Daroach + The Squeaks?! Either way!)

#kirby #カービィ
Two panels of the "Whatcha got there?" "A smoothie" meme only with The Squeaks in the first panel and Daroach in the second with his paw on an ominous looking Dark Nebula

I don't know how this site works or if it will ever take off. ^^ But if anyone wants to maybe talk about the Kirby series with me, that's like, maybe my favorite thing so please do so?
