I used to be one of those guys when I first joined the Kirby fandom, but everytime I hear a discussion of the series writing that starts with "So the Lore is InSaNe-" and not like, "Kirby has a fun writing style that takes advantage of its cute exterior to tell cool stories that reward player's curiosity and leave lots of room for imagination-" I cringe so goddamn hard.

I kinda just hate that people approach things that encourage investment when they don't expect it as inherently absurd. Like it is fun to joke about how absurd Kirby lore can be, but it really often comes with an air of disrespect or exhaustion rather than like, appreciation that these games are made by people who want to tell interesting stories when they could easily make as much money just making polished enough fluffy kiddy platformers. And when it's not met with exhaustion, it's met with - like I said before - that tone that it's stupid for a series like this TO have devs who care about writing stuff for it. Which is a whole other thing about people not respecting things made to appeal to kiddie aesthetic or tone.

Maybe the state of low-stakes YouTube video essays just blows cause people play up ignorance and disbelief for engagement, but like I STG I hear people use this tone for like actual narrative based games sometimes. Some people don't like... appreciate when a game is made by people who care a shitton in ways that aren't direct gameplay feedback. And they especially don't appreciate it when it comes from something with any sense of tonal dissonance intentional or not.

Anyways, I love games made by insane people. I love games made by teams who feel like they wanna make something work or say something so bad. I love that energy, especially when invested into something that could easily rest on its laurels or which obviously won't be taken seriously. I love this in a lot of classic campy 2000s games, I love this in insanely niche yet passionate fanworks, and I love it in the Kirby series and its writing. Can we please stop talking about it like it's an annoyance or complete joke?

#shut the heck up #kirby #kirby lore #fandom #midnight rambles #im quite talkative today cause my rambling bestie is busy #im also bitter cause im too burnt out to make the things i want to properly express my adoration for this series #but i can waffle about it ig #ive been relying on prose and essay ro express myself a lot in leiu of my usual creative outlets... #i always wanted to make a video edsay series about kirby lore with this expressed ethos #maybe i should just start with essay-essays somewhere #still need to replay all the games for that first though #more streams coming up eventually i swear #tag talking #i read a cool analytical article today that had the same tone as a video essay and i was like 'ah thats the origin of the essay part' #so now i wanna explore that world more of article game and media journalism and such

#in my lore they all can transform fully into quadruped wolves but they dont do that often because it is Especially Painful because #of how anatomy has to be extremely altered #but for the sake of exaggerating how ridiculous rozkurw looks when compared to literally everyone else. regular wolves it is #i mean none of them is 100% realistic wolf. they keep their piercings and glasses and such #fiona has small anime fringe. małgo has a bit more dog-like features because shes kinda like an akita to me #man i wanna make an infographic on my werewolf lore theres quite a lot of it. and also proper refs for all the 3000 with lots of info #that most would find unnecessary lol #my art #3000 #rory oaklow #<- posting this to the tag idgaf. barely any original drawings happening in there #i do still check it every now and then. love u rory #the sims 4 werewolves #the 3000 the most important sims 4 werewolves. to me. and to yall also

this is, imo, some of the most hilariously teenaged conversation on this show

#you can't think of a SINGLE reason why it would be inappropriate nancy?? #for an FBI agent who is old enough to have gone through med school and quantico and risen up the ranks to head an investigation #to kiss a 19-year-old who is barely out of high school? in his public place of work? in the town where she's a local celebrity????? #also george's look of outraged incomprehension at the idea that park didn't wanna kiss nancy is so good #girls supporting girls! why WOULDN'T he wanna kiss nancy? she's hot! is he full of himself? geez! #also george....did you not have an affair with a man in his 30s QUITE RECENTLY which you now regret and say fucked you up??? #oh this show and its timelines #the characters are kinda treated like they're in their early-to-mid-20s because time has passed in the real world if not in HB #and then these kids have a conversation like this and it's like being slapped with a reminder that they're all SO very young <3 #nancy drew #george fan #nancy drew cw

[spielzeugkaiser]

hey are you okay...?

you havent posted anything in a month...

yeah I know 🥺🥺😭 for someone who did that nearly daily for years it's really, really strange. (But I'm still alive, so I'm answering this, although a little late.)

In news of the trailer!! And our boy!! (and what they have done to his hair, pfpfpp) part of me wants to draw so very, very bad, but my body isn't cooperating, sadly 🥺 Hopefully I'll be able to once S3 truly starts...

#my current state of functioning it's more like riding a clownishly small bike that is on fire and slowly falling apart but alas #I do work a lot right now #lots and lots and lots of weekend shifts too #I want to quit all of my jobs and become a goat farmer 😭 #but then it would also only need a baby goat to kill me #... I wanna draw 🥺🥺 #but maybe it's also good that I don't currently something is wrong with both of my hands I have zero grip strength these days 😔 #and when do I not have a fever - maybe my body is just trying to fry itself for funsies #mixed with the migraines and the things that I still have from covid I am one ill little bean 😅🤦‍♀️ #alas! #this bean will draw once S3 is out or she goes mental 🤸‍♀️

Hello :3 and it’s completely okay if not of course but could you do a Kate laswell x chubby s/o, your work is amazing btw :)

Hello! Thank you! Don't worry, I've written about Farah with a chubby reader before, so I can do Laswell as well :-)

Laswell with a Chubby!S/O

As long as you’re healthy and doing just fine, Laswell really couldn’t care less about what you look like, so she really doesn’t mind you being chubby. In fact, to her it’s a  sign that you’re eating well enough. However, she will sometimes make sure that you don’t gain too much weight by eating too much sugar or other things that are unhealthy for you. Something along the lines of diabetes can be fatal very easily, and she really doesn’t wanna lose you to something that could have been prevented. She won’t always go out of her way to make sure you don’t eat a lot of sugar, she won’t monitor what you eat either, but she will make you aware and wants you to be careful. I know this could cause some disagreements among the two of you, but she just really wants you to be well. However, that doesn’t mean she wants you to change, not in the slightest, she loves you as you are. As long as you’re healthy you can do what you want.

Laswell isn’t a very physically affectionate person in general, so she won’t really do much in regards to hugging or cuddling you and using you as a pillow. Sure, she’ll give you the occasional hug and squeeze you a bit, but she knows there’s a chance you might be insecure about being chubby so she won’t go out of her way to make you aware of your being chubby too much. You’re beautiful in her eyes either way, it doesn’t matter to her how chubby you are.

If you ever feel down in the dumps about it, she’ll reassure you that you’re lovely as you are, that you don’t need to lose weight in order to be the prettiest person she’s ever seen. And she really does mean it. Again, she won’t be too touchy with you, but she’ll use her words to convince you that you’re worth so much more than you believe, that all those people hating on you are simply too insecure about themselves to see just how great you are. Laswell loves you and it shows through her actions and her words. However, she will support you if you do decide to lose weight. Might sometimes allow you to have a cheat day or two, though.

#cod #cod x reader #kate laswell #kate laswell x reader #it would be really rude of me to not write this request considering the farah one #besides as I've mentioned before I am quite chubby myself so I have to write requests like these #but I feel pretty confident in myself by now in all honesty. I used to be far more insecure about myself #but then again I've grown older. getting older really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm looking forward to my 30's #not being in pain and stuff but I'm looking forward to becoming a much more calm and collected person. I really wanna better myself #I'm just so glad I'm finally in my 20's. my teen years were the worst and I don't think they could have gone much worse #so yeah I'm looking forward to a brighter future! I'm gonna create that future for myself! it's gonna be better than the present!

[oathkeeper-of-tarth]

Also I quit my job of what would in about a month or two have been 10 years, and perhaps now I will get to actually be a human being again.

#honestly? honestly? #last week i told the two (2) godawful egomaniac lab head Man In Academia bosses i quit and that we need to formalise it asap and i just #felt like a little feather about to float away on a breeze #maybe now i can do normal people things like eat and sleep and have a routine of some sort idk #i have been slowly losing it for at least 3-4 years now #i took a screenshot and last year i had no fewer than 14 fucking travel orders fulfilled #most of which consisted of like 12+ hour days on ships and docks #i'm just so tired man #not for reblogging obviously #i don't really wanna vent anymore or ponder them and the entire godforsaken institution but like #good riddance tbh #which is really really sad when you think about it! but here we are #it was just... no trace of future anywhere to be seen! entirely a Void!! #gonna post a beefy lesbian paladin real quick to push this post down lmao #but i felt like sharing because i know there's good and concerned people who follow me here and i both appreciate and miss you all #and lord knows some of you have been listening to me vent and whine for ages #am i going to miss some great people and the research community of my field? of course but also it was all just completely unsustainable

[mueritos]

being in a social work masters program as a marginalized person who is ages ahead in theory and experience in comparison to your (white, privileged, rich) cohort is a fucking minefield. solidarity for all and every other marginalized person in these fucking micro aggressive and liberal ass social work programs.

#muerto talks #i mean like yea. of course this would happen #didnt matter if i went to nyu or school in philly #white women flock to social work programs because theyre not smart enough for nursing programs #sure youre not commiting elder abuse as an rn but youre a mandated reporter in communities youve never spoken to until now lol #its been quite isolating here and im not afraid to be myself and speak up in class but the fucking thank yous i get from white women #make me wanna bite a rock man #id much rather u call me a slur at this point #at the very least my field placement is in a bipoc space with bipoc staff #godspeed to all other marginalized people in these masters programs........

[opens-up-4-nobody]

:-P

#practicing their faces bc i wanna do a thing. also bc its the 1st time i actually feel good ant drawing them #like i feel like i got merlins face pretty good and theres 1 or 2 arthers that i feel r ok enough #which is a huge mark of improvement for me haha bc idk there was someone i followed on devient art in like hs #who drew amazing merthur art and i used to use their stuff as refs all the time for like how i wanted to draw #and now im like hey i got closer to how i wanted to draw in high school haha it only took like 10yrs #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #i just cant quite seem to get bradleys delicate little nose

[beif0ngs]

Oda, please... please, I’m begging you... I can’t do this, not again... 😩

#One Piece #opspoilers #Trafalgar Law #Blackbeard #like i wanna believe Oda would never kill off Law's character #but i honestly feel like it could easily go either way at this point 😬😬 #i mean i wasn't even expecting him out of all the others to clash with Blackbeard this soon... #especially not after what just went down in Wano and Amazon Lily #and the fact that Law's death has been foreshadowed quite a bit throughout his time is so unnerving now

[skitskatdacat63]

Some matador studies :)

+ ref pic I like but couldn't even attempt to draw 😭

#its funny how your brain can randomly turn on #no one saw it (i hope) but i posted some other matador sketches last night #MAN they were not great imo. i only kept one of them for this post lmao #like i was referencing pics and it was just not working in my brain except for the one #and then i came back to it just now and boom suddenly i could ref poses very well?????? #istg i either struggle so bad and have to trace the pose to check shapes and its a whole ordeal #or like now i randomly can look at pics and get the pose down pretty well #not perfect obv but i drew these all in like 50 mins so ????? pretty good no? #just having a severe matador moment #like i wanna draw more of the AU but i need to study poses first #something i actually really dont do a lot cause its often frustrating #but wow these were quite fun! #not worrying abt the end product yknow #i love matador pics so fucking much #bcs you never have to worry abt: is this unrealistic? is this too flamboyant? #cause man the pics are fucking insane #i think the legs are my favorite? theyre all just very slayful i guess. idk how to describe it #but it always feels like a dance #anyways! maybe more matador nando soon #i think i said before but ah....really wanna draw him bloody #catie.art. #matador au

happy wednesday! your writing is a treat and I hope you're having a lovely day <3

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE Y- I MEAN ARSON! ARSON! ARSON! ARSON! ARSON!

WIP Wednesday (1/31) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU (Part 93)

Andrew How much gas did you use? 10 Eh. Twenty bucks worth, I guess. Andrew You spent twenty dollars on gas just to burn a building? What are you, rich? 10 I'm not super wealthy, but I've got money. Besides, it was a special request, if you recall correctly. Andrew No it wasn’t. It was a suggestion. Wait. No. Scratch that. It was just an idea. 10 An idea that YOU gave me. :) Mr. Firefighter. Andrew I told you to knock that off. 10 Didn’t say I would. Andrew You’re annoying. You’re annoying and you might be stalking me. Why am I chatting with a potential stalker? 10 I might be annoying, but I’m not stalking you. Not my crime of choice. And… as for why you’re chatting with me. I think it’s because you like me.

Andrew’s eyes widen. Well, yeah. Duh. 10 is hot and witty and stupid. Of course Andrew likes him. But 10 isn’t supposed to know that.

10 Or, you think I’m interesting enough to talk to. By the way, *you* messaged me. Which means you took my number from a confidential case file. Thus, you’re the stalker.

Andrew sucks his teeth. Fuck. He’s almost got a point. But,

Andrew I got your number off the station’s phone when you called.  10 Stalker. Andrew Stop saying that. 10 Fine. I’ll say something else. I like you, too. You might actually be my first friend. Congratulations. Andrew An honor, I’m sure. 10 Mmhmm. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m starving to death. I’m going to get some dinner. Don’t follow me. Stalker.

Andrew huffs and rolls his eyes. He sort of wishes he could figure out where 10 is going for dinner. He wants to see him again. The picture in his head may be perfect but it’s not enough. He wants to sit across from this man and talk for real. Maybe one day.

#*howling from the rooftops* I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOO #sorry for all the stalking jokes in this part D: i hope you get to see this! :') i think they're done making that joke now tho! #also this part is quite long bc it's just a text chain #and also because i only got one ask for this au and i feel like i'm starving you to death at this point :'))) so enjoy the idiots flirting< #andreil #aftg #WIP Wednesday #Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew #🕊️ #answered #tisaqslur #beloved! #long post #just in case #i don't wanna get on y'all's nerves (more than usual anyhow lol)

[babacontainsmultitudes]

Here very messy unfinished Nicky sketch that I'm deleting in 5 minutes or so (and def not maintagging) for whoever is up lol

This is when I would say "I can't remember the last time I posted a drawing here" but I do it was that Glenn who got voided from the tags because the world wasn't ready for his honkers 😔

#I knowwwww he's a messsss #It's being caught between knowing my art is mediocre and wanting to share it anyways aaaaaaaa #god I cannot draw mouths for shit they are the death of me #Also need to eventually gather refs for bodies- didn't use one here and it shows lol #But the love was in it okay #Despite all the self deprication I prolly will finish this if only for me- I wanna give him tattoos haha #Am I wrong for thinking that Nick would be the kinda guy that would wear a belt but still his pants would sag? #“But baba why are you posting this just to delete it” to get back into the habit of posting my sketches cause it's so so hard for me #Only just starting to get back into drawing after quite a break from it too! #Not me hovering over “post now” for 5 actual minutes
