Miscellaneous Kirby Headcanons that I have nowhere to put so you all have to deal with them
Someday I’ll stop being sick and then you’ll all be sorry
Magolor’s fur is chinchilla like in texture. Soft and dense, though not as dense as an actual Chinchilla. He avoids water and getting wet because he takes 14 hours to dry.
Taranza and Sectonia are venomous. Taranza’s venom is extremely mild, only causing paralysis and numbness, while Sectonia’s was more extreme (intense bleeding and in worse cases necrosis). Sectonia’s venom got worse after her transformation but she viewed using it as “beneath her”.
Dedede’s molts make him beyond moody and the only ones allowed to visit him during molt season are the Waddle Dees. He eats twice as much food and sleeps most of his molt, so he's pretty cranky.
Magolor does have a tail, it’s just that it’s a bobtail so it's pretty much unnoticeable.
Waddle Dees are covered in a thick but short layer of fur and don't really shed, instead they "blow" their coats twice a year. Once during spring and once during fall in preparation for either the summer coat or winter coat. Thankfully they're an extremely social species and grooming is one of the major ways they show they care, so Castle Dedede and Waddle Dee town are not always covered in fur.
Waddle Dee fur feels similar to minky fabric.
Meta Knight brushes out Sailor Dee's fur regularly, both as a bonding experience and because Sailor Dee sheds more than other Waddle Dees.
Taranza is into various fabric based and textile hobbies and can sew, crochet, knit, needle felt, and weave. He often does multiple at once when stressed.
Kirby often volunteers for various jobs in Waddle Dee town, not just at the restaurant.
Okay so if you followed my old blog (or scrounged around) you've probably seen the old post, but I wanted to rewrite it because WHY was it so short... So here are the old points rewritten + some new ones :)
Half of it ended up under a read more because I am unstoppable and also I have become more unashamed as time has gone on.
Pros of cuddling with King Dedede
He is exceptionally fluffy, both because of his feathers and the lavish coat he wears. Hugging him is like hugging a cloud AND he's probably large enough for you to lay on top of.
His constant need for attention leads him to being top number 1 cuddler. He is constantly game for cuddling and would do so at the drop of a hat. Even if hes busy anybody hes talking to can suck it up because he needs cuddles NOW!!!
Where the king goes, the waddle dees will follow. This means its not JUST a cuddle with Dedede, it's often a massive pile including the waddle dees. If the king is, in theory, too busy to cuddle it's okay, you still have the dees :)
Since he is a king that means he probably has a lavish bed with the best bedding one could possibly get. Not only do you get some premium cuddles, but you also get to lay in the softest bed possible. Best sleeps of your life incoming.
Since he's a cold weather bird, if you prefer sleeping in a cold room he is ideal for it. Keeps you toasty warm while the room is frigid. There is the unfortunate con of "getting out of bed" but at least you slept well.
Cons of cuddling with King Dedede
He is, unfortunately, a constant victim of kidnappings and possessions. This means that simply by being around him you are constantly in danger.
Cuddling in the summer/hotter months is a NIGHTMARE. You're both sweaty and miserable but he NEEDS attention and love or he'll DIE so you have to put up with it.
He eats in bed and sometimes theres crumbs. You can have a waddle dee clean it up but sometimes the poor things miss a few and you suffer. Also he doesn't share the food anyways.
The Waddle dees, while a bonus, are sometimes a curse as well. You never get alone time, they are always there and always watching. They want snuggles too.
Pros of cuddling with Meta Knight
You get to see a softer side to the "chivalrous and stoic" knight that nobody else gets to see. Both because he abandons his mask for comfort and because he gets extremely vulnerable.
His wings are fantastic blankets, hefty without being suffocating, though you do have to be careful (as they are sensitive) but staying stock still is worth the comfort you get from them.
He has an extremely relaxing presence, speaking of safety and protection. It's so easy to let your guard down entirely around him.
He reads while cuddling and sometimes reads out loud, his voice is very relaxing and softer than usual so it often leads to you falling asleep near instantly.
If he falls asleep before you, you get to gently pet his head and watch him relax more.
Cons of cuddling with Meta Knight
Will literally instantly abandon you if he feels a disturbance on Popstar.
Will also abandon you to go fight another swordsman, you may be one of the most important things in his life but he has to go kick that guys ass right now you don't understand.
If somebody almost catches you two cuddling he isn't seen for 5 days, straight up stops existing until he stops being embarrassed.
As foretold; my fever has calmed down a lil so I'm back on my shit. You are free to take inspiration from these headcanons if you'd like! Use them for canon ships, use them for oc ships, w/e I literally don't care.
Features King Dedede, Meta Knight, Magolor, Taranza, and Susie! Might make a part 2 with different characters later idk
These weren't peer reviewed because I didn't feel like waiting all day for somebody to get back to me if they're ooc im not sorry <3
KING DEDEDE
A big gift giver when it comes to wooing a potential partner; especially things like foods and shiny objects. Gives his potential lover the best of the best treats and exquisite meals, the shiniest largest gems he can get his hands on, anything that pertains to their hobbies or interests, it's all free game.
He tries to be nonchalant about it, he tries really really hard. Giving them whatever gift he got for them and trying to appear unbothered by their reaction but also he wants to watch them like a hawk to make sure they enjoy it. He also can't hide how giddy it makes him when they do enjoy it.
He would also take them on trips or excursions around Pop Star, anywhere their heart desires and he's got the Waddle Dees readying transportation.
Despite his boisterous nature and ego he still takes a while to actually confess any feelings. He wants to make absolutely sure a potential partner is properly wooed and swooning over his kinglyness.
META KNIGHT
More of an actions speak louder than words type of guy. Carries things for his potential partner without prompting, gets them a book or tickets to a movie they'd been talking about but never had the will to purchase, just little ways to show he cares.
He's a lot like a cat when it comes down to it, he spends more time around them without actually interacting. Half the time they don't even notice he's there even if everybody else notices. He'd probably also leave treats in places that they frequent.
Genuinely they wouldn't even be able to tell he's courting them. He's not the most romantic when it comes down to it so it's easy for them to brush it off as "he's just being chivalrous he does it for everybody because he's a knight." He does not do it for everybody.
Would probably actually confess face to face, maybe with flowers, depends on how important he deems it to the person he's confessing to.
MAGOLOR
Capitalism king shows his affection and amorous feelings through discounts. Potential partners get discounts on anything he sells with "cutie discounts" and "my favorite person discounts". Though due to his smarmy nature they'd probably assume he's bullying them (he kind of is).
He gets more playful with any potential partner, affectionate touches and nuzzles; cutesy nicknames that sound vaguely condescending and insulting but he genuinely means them to be cute pet names.
He's not a very giving person without gain, so gifts are often things he feels he could afford to lose out on, though they still have their strings. What do you know, he has an extra ticket to Merry Magoland! Ohhh noo if ONLY he had a cutie to go with him because he doesn't have ANNNNNNYBODY else to play the minigames with :( won't somebody PLEASE take PITY on poor Maggyboy. Then he gives them a sidelong glance before dramatically fainting. Unfortunately, though not a villain anymore, he still has the dramatics of one.
Do I think he'd confess? Yeah probably. Though I doubt it'd be romantic or have much thought or consideration in it. Just off handedly after he gets caught up in his feelings and how he would've never gotten this chance had things gone his way.
TARANZA
Best spider boy in the WORLD is very much a guy who does acts of service to show his affection. He doesn't give gifts anymore, not after what happened last time (the scars may have healed in due time but they still sting). He makes up for it by giving his potential partner all of his time and energy.
Very big on physical touch and one of his favorite things to do is give any potential partner a massage, it allows him to help make them feel better and also provides physical affection. Big win!
Genuinely LOVES spending time with them and loves doing mundane things with them, doesn't matter if its just a walk in the park or hanging out while they do chores; he's just really really happy to be there.
He confesses purposefully and genuinely, more than likely during a picnic in a flower field. He doesn't gift them flowers, so just. existing nearby them is the best he could do. God forbid he gifts them flowers that are evil and fucked up.
SUSIE
An absolute autistic queen that has been so corporatized she isn't sure how feelings or emotions work. She'd express her interest in a potential partner by taking things off their workload. Chores, school work, emails, whatever she can do to make life easier for them (and give them more time to spend with her) is a sacrifice she'll make.
Not much of a gift giver, but when she does give gifts it's always something with a purpose or use. Type of woman to give you pots and pans. She doesn't see the appeal of useless doodads and doohickeys.
When she's not working to fix her fathers mistakes she's spending time with them. Though she prefers to do something productive (getting those chores they've been putting off done, for example) she'll give them a pass because she does enjoy her time spent with them.
Confesses robotically with precision. Done quickly and effortlessly, possibly through email.
Hi! I really like your work! I was wondering if you're still taking requests? If so, could I ask for cuddling pros and cons with magolor and marx.
Of course! I was just thinking about making another cuddling pros and cons list earlier, actually!
I'm going to put a disclaimer here for Marx's part; I don't think he's much of a cuddler or a sleeper. I was really struggling to find anything for him.
Pros of cuddling with Magolor
He's cat shaped and probably has some cat like behaviors, like purring and kneading. You curl up in bed with him and he (without meaning to) gives you a nice massage. You scratch behind his ear and he starts purring, which is both cute and relaxing.
Let's be honest he probably has like. Extremely soft bedding and silk pillows or whatever. He may not be able to rule the world but with the money his theme park rakes in he can AT LEAST live like a king. This means, lucky you, you also get to enjoy luxuries! I think he'd also have some nesting behavior, which means he has a horde of pillows and blankets that you can get buried in.
Being cat like also probably means he naps a lot; like a cat. Which means plenty of opportunities to cuddle + many naps if you're a big napper. Doesn't have to be in bed either you can cuddle on the couch while he naps.
I, personally, headcanon that he takes grooming and self care very seriously. He has extremely soft and thick fur, like the best fur pillow you've ever pet. He doesn't really shed due to how thorough his care regime is, and he's not REALLY a cat so the chance of allergies are low (unless you're somehow allergic to him, like people can be allergic to moon dust).
Cons of cuddling with Magolor
Just like with Dedede, you will get EXTREMELY warm very quickly. Magolor isn't that bothered by the heat (once again, personal hc. While he isn't actually halcandrian I think he came from a desert planet anyways), so he doesn't really notice and starts getting pissy if you move too much or try to get away to cool off.
Unfortunately; cat. He wants to cuddle on his terms and his alone and WILL express displeasure if you try to avoid cuddling or are busy. Will literally try to get in your way and whine about it. Or bribe you. He'll also try to charge you if you want to cuddle when he doesn't want to, though he's only half joking.
Ends up grooming you while you're sleeping; you wake up and you're cleaner than you passed out. Face washed, hair brushed, nails trimmed and filed, a whole spa treatment and you weren't even aware it was happening. This is because Magolor is what we call "an idiot" and has trouble expressing real genuine feelings and affection to someones face; so he ends up taking care of you while you're unaware.
Will literally stop cuddling on a dime for any reason. I'm sorry but. He's literally a cat let's not lie to ourselves if he gets hungry he's outta there.
Pros of cuddling with Marx
Small and portable! You can curl around him and he fits very nicely against you :) Due to his lack of floating hands you also don't have to worry about accidentally rolling over one and pinning it.
Isn't super fluffy or furry, so you don't have to worry about getting too hot or too cold.
?????
I'm going to level with you chat; there are not many pros here.
Cons of cuddling with Marx
He bites. He doesn't have hands so he bites to express any and every feeling. If you like being chewed on ideal cuddle buddy but he draws blood.
His wings are NOT comfortable, they're like a metallic bone deal and have bright lights. Also he has claws there and will use them.
Does not stay still for very long, so pinning him down for a cuddle session is borderline impossible. The only way you get to cuddle with him is if you settle in for a nap, and like a cat he shows up for a few hours and then dips as soon as you start to wake up.
Sleeps with his eyes open??? Can you live with that.
Hi! Love your stuff, keep up the good work! May I ask for some general romantic headcanons for Taranza (and Meta Knight if doable)?
Sorry this took so long !! I was waiting to get a new keyboard :)
Taranza Romantic Headcanons
Taranza is a very considerate partner! He knows every one of your likes, dislikes, preferences, right down to what light level you prefer your room at for sleeping. He even has a little notepad dedicated to things that he's worried he might not remember (silly things, like what your ideal volume level for the tv is).
Like I've said previously, he doesn't really give gifts anymore. He's far too worried about somehow accidentally giving another cursed gift that ruins yet another relationship; so most of what he does are acts of service. Things like making you dinner, cleaning your house, taking any bugs outside that might've wandered in if you're too scared of them to attempt to.
Really likes holding your hand! If you only have two hands, don't worry! He'll do everything for you just so he can keep holding yours for as long as possible. The extra hands come in handy when he's clingy.
Not the jealous type. He doesn't really care if you have friends or how close you are to them, he doesn't really view them as a threat.
Meta Knight Romantic Headcanons
Meta Knight is, unfortunately, kind of a distant partner. He's been a lone swordsman for so long that having any sort of close relationship is odd. He does attempt to make it up to you with gifts, though you both know it's not a substitute for a closer relationship. Overtime, however, he does get better about being more open and vulnerable.
You have your own room on the Halberd and you're basically an honorary member, if not already an official member, of the Meta Knights. If the Meta Knights can't find Meta Knight himself, they tend to defer to you for decisions and instruction. The Meta Knights also do their best to help you set up date nights with Meta, though it's a 20/80 chance it works.
Meta Knight would absolutely LOVE it if you baked him something, it doesn't matter if it's bad or good, so long as it doesn't kill him he's pretty happy. He's a war veteran, he ate shitty rations for 100 years or longer, a burnt chocolate cake isn't going to ruin his day.
He does get slightly jealous, only if he views the person you're talking to or interacting with around or above his strength though. He would 100% fight for your honor if he had to.
could I ask for pros and cons of cuddling with Taranza?
Of course ! I love this spider guy
Pros of Cuddling with Taranza
Very polite and doesn't move much, takes your comfort into consideration before much else. He can also hold your hand, pat your head, massage your back, hold a drink, and hold a snack. Multitasking king.
Willing to get up and fetch you anything you need at any point. It doesn't matter how comfortable he is he WILL get up. If you want to get up and get something yourself you need to move fast and not mention it.
He's a little on the cooler side, so he's all the better for cuddling with under a ton of blankets. Or cuddling with when it's hot as hell outside.
Taranza 100% knits, so if you find watching or listening to that relaxing it's a big win. Honestly he stims a lot no matter what and typically traces shapes on your back or plays with your hair or your hands when cuddling. ASMR king entirely on accident.
Cons of Cuddling with Taranza
Needy with some issues. If you don't want to cuddle he'll assume you're mad at him. Please don't be mad at him.
Slightly venomous, not enough to do real serious harm but enough to cause paralysis in a limb and cause numbing for a few days. He'll at least take care of you! And feel extremely bad about it. Immediately looks into getting anti venom afterwards, though.
If he gets cold he will be annoying about it. He has so many hands and they're all cold and please for the love of Nova help him.
Sometimes he gets nightmares and will push you off the bed or couch.
