Once again, it's the anniversary of "Kirby's Adventure," and once again, we're celebrating Meta Knight's birthday! Wow, and I can't believe it's the fourth of the year I've done this. Last year, the previous year, my first one
Lady Celestine belongs to @kirbybecomesastarwarrior (I just love drawing her so much…)
And I had to draw my fave rarepair (Metalor!) sp count this as a sneak peek of their Starlittale designs.
Annd this was drawn from pure memory.
(Tumblr don’t fumbleeee)
Okie so Deltarune Chapter Five spoilers onwards…
Aqua was so cute OH MY GODD?? She is sooo precious and ahhhhhh!!!! The girl ever! (I also like Seth and the secret boss but I didn’t remember their designs that well-)
And Orange!! If there’s another favorite that’s NOT Flowery, it’s her! (And I added Flowery cuz I remember his design and I Lovedd him! (Platonically of course))
Flower Man was a banger of a theme, and damnnn!
I listened to these while drawing this whole thing. On loop. Especially vocal covers.
Even if broken I am more than glass
^Fave line in the song
And Kris’ black rose? Foreshadowing? I wonder if the sixth chapter will be MORE HEARTBREAKING.
(I NEVER WILL DO A WEIRD ROUTE. I DONT HAVE THE HEART.)
Also, Ralsei’s flower crown has thorns. I’d like to say it symbolizes the hidden thorns of his character.
This is basically the general rundown of the KBASW AU... (I go more in-depth with it on my main). In which each character is mixed with the fable as well as an "Arthurian upgrade."
For Fluff, he is the son of the Grail King, King Fisher (aka the Grail King), which is a big part of his story (since that's how he was born).
I know it seems like I'm giving Fluff a lot (which I know love him) but that backstory felt like it was his dad's (King Fisher content). Though I wanted to give Prince Fluff a title that was his own...So I connected him with the Brave Little Tailor. Which aligned with Prince Fluff's characterization perfectly (not to mention it fit his brand, LMAO.)
(Childhood friends to lovers) The bread & butter of the relationship developed because of their ability to understand each other. (Were in the same boat) Growing to truly lean on one~ And, of course, most of the romance happens when they're a lot older, but it all started because they were friends.
Side note: Probably gonna do them out of order (cause I keep changing my mind on the direction of these). Wish me luck~
I hope you guys enjoyed the content have a great day.
"Are you sure we'll be friends when we meet, Gally?"
"The best of friends, mety!Nothing will change that!"
This is fanart for @kirbybecomesastarwarrior au based on their post on how meta knight and galacta used to be friends.
Also, let's just pretend that the gsa has some pretty vents and that's why gala can crawl through even with the wings.
I'm not good at drawing orbs, so I drew them in a gijinka form instead, I may have made some mistakes while drawing this, but I did my best, so I hope that you like it, kbasw!
In KBASW, Kirby's relationship with King Dedede is so integral to both of their stories. And those who aren't familiar it's a play on the opening them of "Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart." (Mao Mao, you did not deserve to get canceled...) I think this song is so fitting for Kirby and King Dedede: Dede & Marx's story arcs are tied for my favorite in KBASW.
And in general, I have such a deep love for the Kirby series. This goes out to the anime & the games. It's brought me so much joy and has led to some of my happiest memories.
Keep reading for spoilers and future Kirby
Kirby is meant to leave Dreamland so he can become a star warrior and pass the mantle to King Dedede. And honestly, the cappies do go on their little redemption arc. During the Dark Matter Saga with Dedede as well, Kirby does forgive them all, but it's just never really the same.
His desire to leave more comes from Kirby seeing more of the world; he wants more of it. With each adventure, it grows stronger, while Dedede starts to learn what it really means to be a hero from them. And Dedede is reminds him why he wanted to be a hero after being burned out after defeating Nightmare.
When Kirby does make the plans on leaving Dreamland he makes sure to pass the baton properly and gives King Dedede a medal. To show everyone and remind him(Dede) that he is the hero of Dreamland now.

I can't believe I got this out on time! Sorry, I've been missing in action for a while; work got me swamped. It's always the busiest time of year for me at work, and I always forget to draw a Birthday Kirby piece. It's a humble first piece, but it's a good start (I hope to make this a yearly thing like I do for MK's B-day piece, let's fingers crossed for next year).
I got the blueberry & the raspberry to suit up! (So yeah, I've been playing Cookie Run Kingdom...) I got inspired by some of the characters' alternate costumes. I really wanted to do celebratory outfits for Meta Knight & Galacta Knight (Gala was highly inspired by Hollyberry Cookie). Outfit Name
Meta Knight: Cosmic Crash Crown
Galacta Knight's: Temporal Radiance
Maskless Version
Believe it or not, these outfits aren't just for fun.... (foreshadowing)
Meta Knight & Galacta's Knight have a lot of symbolism. But that's for another day! But anyway, I've been really just focusing on getting back into the swing of things. Trying to do lore content, get back to writing, this is the start of this. Hope you all have a great day!
While I am putting most of my attention towards "The Mage Behind the Man...", I promise I'm still working on "The Knightmare's End." As proof, I'd like to give you a little tasty bit of lore (as well as a preview of the next chapter... to be more accurate, end of the next chapter.)
Where we last left the story (In the Heart of a Knight), Meta Knight had managed to get everyone in the cast to hate him and to have King Dedede fire him. Because that's what he wanted, why?
Well, that tea is spilt by none other than Knuckle Joe and Sirica (I'm still not used to drawing them, it's getting there). Basically they are the catalysts for the gang to go find Meta Knight... (how they got Jecra's journal gotta wait to find out.) The journal reveals MK's connection with Nightmare... and what it means now that he's defeated it. What will become of Meta Knight now?
I also wanted to take this chance to confirm that MetaJecra is indeed canonically in the KBASW AU. AND WHY... BECAUSE I'M ALL ABOUT THAT ANGST FUEL! Said this a while back Jecra is basically Meta's Patroclus, and went berserk after his death (similar to Achilles)
Anyways hope you enjoyed that bit of lore, have a great night.
