I used the Odyssey rendition to write the lyrics here. The Castle I always figured had to have been before Peach's reign, and would last after... so it's not a theme for Peach, but rather, the kingdom itself. So, I used it as a basisc for a national anthem of sorts! Which. Helped me establish more solidly some lore gaps in what i'd been doing.
You are the Leader, I'm Second in Command.
Us, a pair of pitied twins, whom destiny had damned.
Together through thick and thin and fighting through the pain,
I will always be here, knowing you're not to blame.
On the day we had been born, our lives had become cursed.
Were we supposed to expect anything but the worst?
With our mother gone, our father had given us hell,
And no one would believe us, no matter who we would tell.
With the lies you use to protect your heart,
From all the truth that has torn it apart,
I will always be there right at your side.
So don't cry, everything will be all right.
You are the Leader, I'm Second in Command.
Us, a pair of pitied twins, whom destiny had damned.
Together through thick and thin and fighting through the pain,
I will always be here, knowing you're not to blame.
Not so long ago, in my recent memory,
I remember seeing you fill people with glee.
With your happy smile and the crowd going wild,
It was a happiness I thought I'd never know.
But everything has started to fall apart,
The Killing Game has begun to break your heart,
I know what you say is all a lie...
But why do you pretend you are the Mastermind!?
You are a Liar, I'm your useless brother,
For oh so long, we held fast to each other...
But now you're alone in a game no one should play,
And I'm on the other side, watching you be led astray.
What you wanted is everyone turned against you,
What you want, is what you got, they believe it's true.
Now with poison in your veins, this is your last stand,
With a smile on your face, you extend out a hand.
"Kaito, would you please do one last thing for me?"
"I want you to put me out of my misery."
"It'll be all right, I have a plan, don't you see?"
"If we break this Killing Game, everyone goes free!"
You are the victim and he's the one who killed you,
Yet another trial starts, I don't want it to be true.
But yes, you're dead and gone, there's nothing I can do,
And now I hate this world for everything it put you through.
Long ago, when we were young, you taught me to smile,
And you made living in this world always worth the while.
Then you were stolen away and forced to play a game...
And after that, nothing would ever be the same.
"With the lies I used to protect my heart,
From all the truth that had torn it apart,
You had always been there right at my side.
So please don't cry, everything will be all right!"
You were the Leader, I'm your useless brother,
For oh so long, we held fast to each other,
Together through thick and thin and fighting through the pain,
And now you're no longer here, and I am to blame.
I'd give anything to have you at my side again,
So I will become the Leader until then...
Hey ho remember these old fan lyrics for "Servant of Evil" I did? :'D
I decided it’d be fun to write quartet lyrics for The Star-Conquering Traveler so guess what I did
I spent ages on this and I’m posting this at midnight after finally finishing it so idk wlkjhbiuiokjnhio
maybe i’ll finally finish up My Friends and the Setting Sun next...
Warning: angst at the end, the gang repeatedly roasts void for being cringe
Starring:
☆Kirby
☮King Dedede
☾Meta Knight

(originally color-coded in the google doc i wrote these in but unfortunately tumblr is weird when it comes to text color and i can barely work it so yeah, you get symbols instead)
(unmarked = everyone)
The Star-Conquering Traveler (fanLyrics)
☮‘What in the world is THAT?!’
♡‘Is that… the Dark Lord?!’
☾‘Everyone, prepare yourselves! This won’t be easy…’
☆‘Alright, gang! Let’s move out!!’
(lyrics start: 0:16)
☆The stars spotlight a frightful scene
☆Worse than all that we’ve ever seen
☆The dark destroyer rises from his heart’s vice
☆We’ve gone far past the time to play
☆Let’s haste away, do not delay
☆And let our power fill the husk that’s made of nil dreams
♡A threat to shake the galaxy
♡Born from a cracked mind’s fallacy
♡O world beware, for war we’re forced to declare
♡But if “the end is near” proves true
♡Don’t think we’ll leave from next to you
♡Responsibility for this burden we four carry
♡Our stars arise
☆All through the cosmic cold
☆A terror of the old
☆A past that time forgot (it’s strange…)
☆As its armor starts to crack
☆With each attack
☆I feel something whole from that which is not…(?)
☾Dancing with every shot, we wear down its pride
☾Break off the mask and close your eyes when we reach deep inside
☾Do not look straight into the void
☾Star-crushing pain and soul devoid
☾We’re almost there, I feel tension growing stronger
☮A mindless end, a puppet to another’s schemes
☮Marionette, oh please, let us tear out your astral seams
☮The broken locks cannot prolong
☮But I can feel that there’s something wrong
☮It's not the end, we've still got a lot more ahead of us!
☮Team, stay strong!
☆‘Everyone, jump in!’
(lyrics start: 1:51)
☾The drops of life force fall from the ceiling’s flesh
☾The dark lord’s servants’ thrall, look at their mess
♡Knock out the evil from the core
♡Send the souls crashing to the floor
♡Wake up from this nightmare, we still have way more to go!
☆Pull off the shell
♡A light so blind
☾I can’t tell
☮What we’ll find
☾I warn you all
☾Keep up your guard
(lyrics start: 2:46)
☮Flying as the heavens cheer
☮The winning team shines crystal clear
☮Hard to believe, even harder to perceive
☮Clip those wings off and cease to fly
☮Drop to your doom above the sky
☮We have no need for your dear “services” here, okay?
☾Without a heart or mind to care
☾How does this creature ever fare?
☾Is it shocking, demon, to hear our mocking?
☾Erase yourself from memory
☾Makes no difference to them or me
☾Prepare to fall, we’ll knock you back into the vacuum
☮Doom’s on the horizon
☮Wait to see what lies in next
☾(Let’s hope for the best…)
♡(Let's hope for the best!)
☮Hatred as its sole behest
☮The husk takes flight, a dark star to shill
♡Escalating- that’s all of this conflict seems to do
♡But every time we’ve faced the end we’ve proven it untrue
♡Unholy Spirit, go away
♡You’ve led our friends far too astray
♡Soon you’ll learn why despite all odds our star has stayed whole
☆Though I see nothing when I look into those eyes-
☆…forget it, I’m here for the sake of my allies
☆The friendly hearts from which we’re sent
☆Will put an end to your dull torment
☆The end’s approaching, let’s dive in for our final strike!
☆For Dream Land!
(lyrics start: 4:03)
☆(I still feel drawn in to the core…)
☆(Have I seen these walls before?)
☆(I just don’t know anymore)
☆(But there’s no time to explore!)
‘...What?!’
☾I never thought I’d face such a shocking sight…
♡What does it mean?! No, it can’t be! There’s no way this is right!
☆(...now I understand…)
☮…Hey, uh, what did you say?
☆(It all makes sense…)
☮Uh, Kirby…? // ☆(Now I see…)
…
☆Now I know
☆Looking at a face just like my own
☆Where I came from and where I was made
☆They were right
☆Even though I'd try to fight
☆I really WAS the monster they had claimed…
☆And I’m feeling so guilty
☆All those days under the stars, where I always wanted to stay-
☆Would I have snapped and brought it all to an end someday?!
☆I feel the force in my heart, echoing around from the start:
☆“Join your origin stained with negativity”
☆…I’m sorry, everyone who had trusted me
☆Please strike me down before I end up hurting somebody
☆Please throw me straight into the void
☆Until I’m finally destroyed
☆This love was made for miracles, not destroyers of worlds
☆The sweet spring breeze clearly had been mistaken
☆How could a hero be made from a darkness forsaken?
☆My friends, I want what’s best for you
☆I’m hoping you’ll understand this too:
☆Please don’t let me live long enough to become the villain!
♡…
☾…
☮…
☮No, you’re wrong
☮Dream Land will always be where you belong
☮And we have no plans to cast you away
☮Thin and thick
☮Proved your kindness is no trick
☮So just accept that it will be okay…
☮We all have faith in you, kid
☾Throughout every adventure, had the thought ever crossed your head
☾That you wished all those faces would all end up dead?
♡We all know who you are, you’re the Kirby of the Stars
♡Now let’s take this jerk down! Please, wipe off that frown!
☆‘...you’re right!’
O darkest void, please hear us for what it's worth:
You don’t have to become what you were made to be at birth
But if you choose that destiny
Don't think that we’ll show you mercy
That evil eye will be gouged out and exposed for nothing!
Even if all’s reduced to just odds and ends
Still will remain the echo of us four and all our friends
Though your face tries to trick us too
Don't think that our hearts won't remain true
Prepare to fight, or face defeat at the hands of Pop Star’s heroes!
I remember, a little more than a year ago, looking at the Easter candy in Target and thinking, "Put your mouth around the bunny head." Then I wrote this and posted it, effectively beginning my tenure in Misc.T. Here is the original post, unedited. If I had it to do over again, I'd go back and make some changes, but still think the original riff is fun.

(Put Your Mouth Around) The Bunny Head - TMBG
a seasonal adaptation by Sonya Rousseau
As you race to fill your basket
And win in plastic oology,
Is it safe to say you’re completely bored with
All these things you’ve done before?
It was not-not-not so great
Eating choc-choc-choc-o-late
And as you take a bite off the butt for spite
There’s a pounding at the door.
Well it’s marshmallow chickies
Talking of some love of posterity
That said the good ol’ days never say goodbye
If you keep this in your mind:
You need a la-la-larger shell
To duck this li-li-living hell
And as you crack your face, the only words you say are:
Put your mouth around the bunny head
Put your mouth around the bunny head.
Put your mouth around, put your mouth around
Put your mouth around the bunny head.
Ads up in the chapel are the work of
Someone trying to please their boss
You know the guy’s a fake
We all know what he wants
Is just to please somebody else.
If the bu-bu-bunny head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
It’d be a better thing
For everyone involved
And we wouldn’t see the eye.
Put your mouth around the bunny head
Put your mouth around the bunny head.
Put your mouth around, put your mouth around
Put your mouth around the bunny head.
Memo to myself
Do the dumb things I gotta do.
Eat the bunny head.
Quit my pew before the sermon
Didn’t leave a note in the collection plate
That said the check’s in the mail
And I’ll see you in church
In another year or so.
If the bu-bu-bunny head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
My Easter would be cool.
Put your mouth around the bunny head
Put your mouth around the bunny head.
Put your mouth around, put your mouth around
Put your mouth around the bunny head.
Put your mouth around the bunny head
Put your mouth around the bunny head.
Put your mouth around, put your mouth around
Put your mouth around the bunny head
reposting this as a video rather than a link (it’s no longer 4am and i’m not running on adrenaline and 3 hours sleep)
honestly @dragonhoardsbookz is the best and i don’t deserve her <3 thank you for doing this for me - you’re brilliant and i love you
Song is by me - Shura (Firebreak)
Video edit put together by @dragonhoardsbookz
Video cutscenes are from the game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice by FromSoft Games. (Shura ending scenes)
(It is a little known fact about me that I like to make fanlyrics for songs! I’ve made a few before, but this is the first time I’m posting one on here.)
(This is a rendition of “Asgore” or Asgore’s theme if it was sung by a Pacifist/Narrator Chara.)
(I hope you enjoy? :D)
Father I do not want to fight,
Father I know this isn't right!
Won't you please, lay your weapon down--
Let's settle this now!
Memories are filling my mind...
Oh how I wish I could rewind,
To a time, where everything's fine,
When your smile shined!
(It's not fair...)
(Father, I never wanted this...)
(Father, do you hate me now?)
(Father, I never wanted this...)
(Father, do you hate me now?)
(Father, I never wanted this...)
(Father, do you hate me now?)
Once upon a time, a child climbed and had fallen down...
Then that child became the angel of the underground.
And when upon their lips golden flowers started to bloom,
The bright future for all of monster kind had become doomed.
The mistakes that I made created a series of tragic events,
So I will take on the blame, because I'm not above the consequence!
When this battle finally comes to an end,
I hope that I can finally make amends!
And maybe when I take away your pain and grief--
It'll all be okay!
I won't be lead astray!
Your trust I won't betray!
I will make sure this ends...
since my Roar of Dedede lyrics were pretty well-received and I was hit by inspiration, I have decided to write lyrics to Macho of Dedede instead. I may do more but I’ll probably give Dedede a break and do something for like Meta Knight or something.
Warning: Not feral, some references to the other lyrics, no references to muscles
Also: parentheses mark spoken/not-sung lines
(Lyrics under the cut)
Macho of Dedede (fanLyrics)
Stand down, peasant
This won’t be pleasant!
Heh!
(What? Weren’t expecting me to fight?)
(I don’t “talk,” kid)
Your efforts are laughable
All so fallible
I can’t help but smile
Seeing you try to compete
I stand the highest of all
Above all you so small
All the while
Today it’s all-I-can-eat
Hey there, pipsqueak, hope you’re understanding
First impressions really mean everything
Were you really, seriously thinking that I'd forget that day?
NO WAY!!
At last
Now we’ve crossed paths
And you’ll be outmatched
Now bow down as you’re finally surpassed
Oh boo-hoo, what a shame
Seems you’re finally
Losing
The game!
Don’t try
You’ll fall behind
Look me in the eye
Wipe the makeup off, fight for real this time
Really, such a disgrace
Now let me pound that
Stupid
Pink face!
I can see you’re tired. Now, hear my demand:
I declare you banished from my humble land
You can’t keep going forever, you can’t out-withstand
I hope it’s not too hard for you to understand
The audience always loves a fight
So let’s give them a real painful sight…
Once I’ve flattened you on the floor
Nobody can ignore
My greatness…
COME ON, YOU KNOW I’M THE BEST!
“(C’mon, Dedede, remember the good times!)”
(Yeah, I remember them alright. I just don’t care.)
Dream Land’s never had stronger
Been here far longer
My territory
So please, GET OUT OF MY FACE!
You blew in on the spring breeze,
Past the clouds, through the trees
Heard the news, and then began the chase
In this land I have claimed under my rule
Anyone who misbehaves is a fool
Even though my actions at first seem cruel
Really, this is all mine…
DON’T WHINE!!
Kirby
You should worry
I don’t do “mercy”
This spot will mark the end of your journey
Come bow down to your king
I need to teach you:
You’re worth
NOTHING!
But hey
You’re at least brave
More than I can say
About all those who’ve fled out of my way
You don’t do what you’re told
An untamed monster
Can’t be
Controlled!
“Listen to your heart! This isn't really you!”
Then what do you think I've been listening to?
The payback for what you did to me’s long overdue
Don’t try to deny it, ‘cause we both know it’s true
