There are two kinds of (Dream) Friends:
The Situation: Kirby of the Stars is on the ropes against a new and dangerous foe. He's on the verge of passing out when one of his Friends arrives with perfect Big Damn Heroes timing and says:
(exact phrasing may vary)
"How dare you hurt Kirby?!"
-Bandanna Waddle Dee -Rick, Coo, Kine -Gooey -Adeleine & Ribbon -Daroach -Magolor -Taranza -Elfilin
"I'M the only one allowed to beat Kirby!!"
-King Dedede -Meta Knight -Marx -Dark Meta Knight -Susie -Zan, Francisca, Flamberge

Kaoru has truly left behind his playboy times, his hobbies are now surfing and watching dramas and specialties swimming and making friends.
Rei has started wine as his hobby as soon as he turned 20 (legal drinking age in Japan) lol. Cool wine aunt in the making.
They didn't give Tatsumi driving as a hobby?? That would've been so funny. His hobby is giving advice/consultation when others have troubles/worries (what he does in his radio show basically).
Mayoi still has dioramas but also design as his hobby and his introduction includes that he would like to design stage for Alkaloid!
Tsumugi's hobbies are now reading (about time!!), watching dramas, collecting good luck items and his specialties are now planning and scheduling and such. Also his introduction now mentions his agency management work. Yasss, acknowledgement for this poor overworked soul!
Natsume got hobbies too! He used to have none. Fortune-telling and networking (what kind of hobby is that though...).
Leo is, as always, making composing music his Identity, it's both his hobby and specialty. His hobbies are also playing instruments, fashion (?!), garden/yard camping (watch Yuru Camp S3E2. :D).
Oh, tragedy! HiMERU's hobbies don't include hat collecting anymore. :'( Well, the lack of hats was maybe sign of something. He's now into cosmetics/beauty treatment and reading (novels) and training. Dorm life influence?
Niki's specialties include survival now... ES life so tough the boy had to develop new skills.
Midori's hobbies include DIY. :D (Remember Ibara fixed his chair and Midori was so impressed)

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".
it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.
do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.
but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.
do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).
you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.
walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.
no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.
do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."
you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.
there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.
i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.
he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

you have a crazy hc for gryll you say. hand it over /lh
So, I get terribly unlucky with Stone transformations, almost never seeing the rare ones in a given playthrough. (I, uh, also don't use Stone very much...) 
One day, while daydreaming about someone exporting and cleaning up all the Dream Friend stone transformations from Star Allies and turning them into 3D printable statues on Thingiverse for me to decorate my shelf with or something SILLY like that (...if, um, anyone wants to do that sometime, let me know...?)  I finally perused the wiki to check out all of the transformations across the whole series! And that's when I spotted that transformation in RtDL that pairs the Star Rod with the Magical Paintbrush and the Triple Star!
Tumblr media
It's also RtDL that makes it clear the Star Rod was made by the ancients. Logic suggests that those three items aren't just paired together for no reason. They are likely ALL creations of the ancients.
(It’s not even a stretch since the Magical Paintbrush is deeply associated with Drawcia and judging by the history of the unknown painting - and Drawcia’s golden eyes - she's likely tied to the ancients/Halcandra as well.)
But then we go back to the Triple Star. The only time we see it, it's one of a small handful of powerful but otherwise unremarkable weapons in Daroach's possession. Daroach is, of course, a planet-hopping intergalactic THIEF, and it’s likely that not everything he possesses was, oh, originally his...? 
There's also the fact that while his ice cane very much suits his "suave gentleman thief" look, the Triple Star doesn't mesh with his aesthetic quite as well - or at all, if I'm being honest... 
Tumblr media
(Now THIS is Daroach’s defining look to me.)
The Triple Star is big, clunky, and chunky. It's also more like a wand than a cane (despite being called a cane) and you'd almost expect to see this wand type item in the hands of.........a magic user, say?
Long story short, I think Gryll was the original bearer of the Triple Star. Or at least the previous bearer before Daroach got ahold of it. You see, Gryll is also an intergalactic traveler, and thus, would have plenty of opportunities to have a run in with Daroach before either of them visited Pop Star.
Tumblr media
Gryll is heavily associated with blocks. I mean, that's what Super Star Stacker IS: a game about throwing blocks at people! The block on the tip of Gryll's hat is nearly identical to the one crowning the Triple Star. And when Gryll attacks you, they turn their broom around and swing the larger end at you, just like how the ancient weapon is used in combat. 
Tumblr media
And again, the thing makes blocks. (...Okay, okay. It throws projectiles, but it was GOING to make blocks! At least, that’s the speculation, back when it was going to be the “Block” ability.)
Now, if the Triple Star was ever in Gryll's possession, how did Daroach end up with it? The most obvious answer is to say that Daroach STOLE it from the onion witch. But hey (hey, hey) it's also possible that Gryll lost it in a bet or a competition! Maybe Daroach is really, really good at playing Star Stacker...?
Now, why bring up the Triple Star as a creation of the ancients here? Well, there's not much tying Daroach into the ancients (...unless you assume he was another one of/was descended from the animals left behind on the forgotten land, and that the former residents went on to become the ancients - a theory which I'm still not completely sure I believe just because I can't make a rational path from the average-human-height-if-you-translate-the-signs-in-Wondaria-park FL residents to Gonzo I mean Squidworth I mean Hyness and the Jamba cult, at least not yet - and though it took Elfilis messing with Leongar's brain to teach HIM how to speak, maybe Daroach was a/descended from lab rats and so had more exposure to humans than your average zoo animal yadda yadda the Squeaks of NIMH/gee-Daroach-what-are-we-doing-tonight etc etc...)
...Sorry, got off on a tangent! 
Anyway, while there's nothing on the SURFACE tying Daroach to the ancients, so far, every canon magic-user in Kirby has had a VERY close relationship with an ancient artifact. Nightmare and the Fountain of Dreams, Marx and Galactic Nova, Drawcia and the Magical Paintbrush, Magolor and the Lor Starcutter/Master Crown (Gee, Magolor, how come HAL lets you have two ancient artifacts?) Taranza and the Dimension Mirror, and Hyness and the Sisters and the Spears of the Heart/Jamba Heart.
That leaves just Gryll without their very own ancient artifact! Boo! While it is a little anti-climactic to get this far and say, "So, okay, they had it once, then they lost it/it was stolen from them" I still think it's a solid theory!
...The real sad thing is that Daroach STIll has it in Star Allies, meaning that if Gryll has any aims on getting the Triple Star back, they've got a long way to go! (Psst, HAL! Gryll returning cameo plz!)
Addendum:
...Soooooo...I forgot about this until I was looking up screenshots to add to this post, but there's also that unused design for a set of Beam Mage equipment based on Gryll planned for Super Kirby Clash and yeah, Gryll is TOTALLY wielding the Triple Star there.
Tumblr media
 I mean, the embossing is reversed and it’s green instead of gold, but the cane glows green in game so I’ll allow it. After all, these are rough sketches and Gryll’s hat is backwards and missing the block tail so one can assume that the details aren’t meant to be 100% accurate at this stage anyway. Most importantly, it's got the same basic shape it's NOT Gryll’s broom, which they would otherwise be using.
Tumblr media
So, given that fairly decisive bit of evidence (?) maybe this theory of mine isn't really a wild theory at all, but something everyone else had already figured out? Either way, at least I get to share it finally!

but no yeah lets have the conversation:
"the CEO doesnt want to run that kind of website" Excuse, shouldnt have bought the 'go nuts show nuts whatever' website if thats the case. APPEAL DENIED
"we have to follow the TOS of the appstores we're hosted on" Excuse item one, no you dont, item two, you have since those days implimented infrastructure that would allow pornography and sex work on this platform Without violating TOS of any applicable app store. APPEAL DENIED
"we own the site we get to make the rules" Incorrect, this site has only ever made profit when the users willed it. we collectively own the site as a hive mind and no legal change in ownership will change that. APPEAL DENIED
"we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it" Argument based on fallacy banning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED
