wait, since kirby has been manipulated mentored by galacta to be more cold- hearted, how does he react to affection in this state? (hugs, sharing, etc.)
cw for abusive manipulation tactics. like.. mind games. just in case. this response is a little dark just by merit of it being about psychological manipulation through lying, so take care.
kirby is as affectionate and loving as ever! he actually adores galacta knight, who stole the existing trust and familial affection kirby already felt for meta knight when they switched places.
there's a line in the another dimension fight comic, where galacta knight says "he's my family now, as he could have been yours.", and he means this truly. where meta knight was always a little stoic and guarded with his feelings, galacta knight is quick and easy with affection when it suits him, and reaps the rewards instantly
but what he does is targeted. if he were going after someone else (like bandee or dedede) he'd use a different tactic. kindness only works this well because kirby is so isolated and lonely, and craves it so desperately
this is super important i think; his core traits are the same as always. kirby is a good little guy!
he wants to be a hero. he wants to have friends and have a fun time and keep the people he loves safe. he wants to be good and to do the right thing with all his heart, it's just that what is "good" and "the right thing" is being purposefully warped around him
maybe it's good to act pre-emptively to prevent a war with the nation in the clouds, especially when they acted aggressively first.
maybe it's good to seek out and squash any trace of dark matter before it can infect anyone else, even if it's currently harmless.
maybe it's good to put that clearly possessed person out of their misery on sight, so they don't have to suffer anymore, because you couldn't save them anyway, right?
for bandee, who becomes aware this is happening, it's heart-breaking to watch. but he can't confide in kirby, because galacta knight's claws are too deep in him. also he will not put the pressure on kirby to keep a secret that could get them all killed
all he can do is try to be there to keep kirby safe, and hope he can reverse the wish before kirby crosses a threshold of misery or ruthlessness they cannot get him back from

The place of the Srebrenica massacre in the Bosnian genocide - Marko Attila Hoare
The role of the UN - Hasan Nuhanović
Genocide memorial day lecture (role of the UN) - Hasan Nuhanović
(the last two are important for understanding how the UN abandoned Srebrenica and contributed to the massacre)
Drone footage of Potočari from above, just so you can see how the Memorial Center now looks.
Bosnian only, no translation
Daleko je Tuzla
Putevi spasa
Zbijeg - priča Hasana Nuhanovića
Zločin i kazna - Srebrenica
Preživjeli
Nesmireni snovi
And here is a lengthy but detailed and well written text on why a revisionist documentary called “A town betrayed” is not a good source to learn about what happened in Srebrenica.
In addition, there are separate posts about Višegrad and Prijedor.

Okay this new picture confused me enough to post about it.
It's lovely, love the cat. But I'm confused, what exactly are they're going for here? I'm supposing this:
But the problem is they didn't bring Saito's arm and the cat actually in front of Okita (btw Okita's referring to this). All three of them are depthwise on different level, though Okita's finger is too perfectly close to look like he's touching the kitten's nose. Yet being on different levels they're all staring at different things!
I mean this is the supposed side view of that picture.
