This Is Really Important!

Finally made a reference sheet for the very first Kirby oc I’ve ever made, Ginger! More info under cut!

TW Trauma, Mass Murder

Ginger is very adept with the Ninja and Parasol copy abilities,​ since she's been trained to use it at a young age, she's technically about 10 years old in human years, and boy does she suffer from a lot of trauma. What trauma? Family Massacre, she's the last remaining member of her family, she also is very clingy thanks to this and doesn't want to lose another important person in her life, since she has lost her entire family, despite this she still has a Happy-go-lucky attitude, and is very loyal to her friends, and trusting to a fault, though to people she hates with her entire guts, well… Once she finds them, they're sashimi for sure, though she's quite forgiving, which means there aren't a lot of people she hates with her entire guts.

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.

for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.

so how can you help?

boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.

learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.

get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.

donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.

and finally…

Here's an oc​ that is actually more like a Kirbysona, Honey Toast Waddle Dee!

More info about her under the cut!

Lore:

Honey Toast Dee used to be just a regular mouse cursor inside of a regular laptop when a portal opened up inside said laptop, sucking in all kinds of things, fortunately nothing was sucked in except for said mouse cursor, which after drifting inside of that portal for who knows how long, she gained sentience, a pair of eyes, and the dripping honey and vanilla ice cream grabbed from some random stuff she found in that portal.

Shortly after gaining sentience, the portal lead her to Dreamland, and got a super effective critical hit to wherever the head of a mouse cursor is and is now a Waddle Dee with light amnesia.

How is she found? Well, the group (Made up of Periwinkle, Ginger, Moss, Niru, Dalmo, Artist, Magician and Jester Dee, Kamoro, Mari, Wave 3+Marx, Gooey, Dark Matter Swordsman[Aka. Kuro for my AU all ocs exist in the aforementioned AU], and the DL4.) are having a picnic, and when it was time for Marko Polo, Mari ended up finding a critically injured Honey Toast Dee in a nearby bush, and off to the hospital she went.

Honey Toast Dee was in the hospital for weeks as she was knocked out, and when she finally woke up, she tried to make something to eat, only to fail miserably, afterwards Bandee, Periwinkle, Moss, Niru, Artist Dee, Magician Dee and Jester Dee came for a visit and boy did they not expect to see what she did.

Since she technically has honey as an accessory, and you know it spills all over the place, when the gang went to visit her, they literally saw honey spilled all over the place.

And after a few weeks, Honey Toast Dee finally came out of the hospital.

Fun facts:

She's overall very friendly, but when she's scared (Very hard to scare her.) , under attack, or extremely pissed off, she will in fact whack people with a frying pan.

To prevent people from ever trying to make a snack out of her hat, she spiked it with wormwood

She sometimes works at the Dreamland Express as a staff member there.

Her hobbies include drawing, reading, cooking (She carries around a frying pan to try and cook something outside, but it ended up being more like a trusty weapon for her, talk about weaponizing kitchen utensils.)

She is technically in the same category as Starstruck Dee (@starflungwaddledee)

Her name is a pun on my Anon nickname, Honey Toast Anon, while her true form is a pun on my username, looks like the figurative is now literal.

More info will be added later on!

Rebloging this from my askblog since this is really important to me.

Tada! I decided to draw every single oc in the tourney I can draw (+A few honorable characters that deserved a spot in the doodle sheet).

KIRBY DATABASE!

its still a work in progress but i want everyone to know im working on a Kirby database of sorts! the wiki has some stuff but i wanted to include the actual images from the games. ill be updating it as I get more images but please check it out!

Edit: thus started out as a pause screen database but I've been collecting the harder to find stuff such as certain dialogues and the Nintendo miiverse and switch channel lore!

Edit: Tw1tter link if you want to boost my post about it there too!

Here’s a new oc​ I've made inspired by (and losely based on) Fern from Adventure Time, Moss!

More info on her under the cut!

She’s actually the corrupted grass spirit of Ginger’s home possessing her sister, Rachel’s dead body (Moss is a corrupted grass imbued Dark Matter from an experiment gone wrong on the night of the tragedy that left Ginger as the last survivor.)

Eats fertilizer.

Fun facts:

Loves gardening outdoors.

Can spawn in any plants or fungi on a whim, can use it for offense, defense or anything else.

Has a grass katana that’s as sharp as the real deal.

Knows how to talk to wildlife, comes in handy pretty often.

Can go back and forth between her disguise and her partially revealed true form, prefers her disguise more, since it’s more approachable and less unnerving.

Ginger​ and Moss's dynamic is based on Finn and Fern's dynamic, minus the *cough cough* the Elements mini-series not even happening, and the Green Knight thing being replaced by Moss making a shady deal before the attempted murder, then suffering the consequences by getting sent to Another Dimension instead. *cough cough cough cough-* don't worry, both of them come around eventually.

Also, all that's left of Moss after Ginger's confrontation with her is her iconic sun hat (Y'know, the one with green ribbons and leaves, along with purple flowers, it later gets changed to lavender blue which is the same shade as nemophilas, which Ginger gave Moss, since the purple flowers shriveled up.), and while in Another Dimension, she doesn't have her sun hat, since it's with Ginger, so all she has is her teal bandana which is used to keep the grass on her out of her sun hat and to keep it clean, along with losing her abilities, revealing her true form as Dark Matter, so she has to escape the place to apologize to Ginger (She does in fact regret the murder attempt, since she was blinded by jealousy fuelled rage.).

The other flower on Moss's hat that's on a strand of sorts? That's actually a part of her, and is always going to be with her, even without the sun hat.

Hello,
