I feel like I haven’t made a post about Kirby in 12,000 years, anyone wanna read this powerpoint I made about Galacta Knight?
Everything About Galacta Knight Ever - Explanation and Analysis of All His Appearances
Tumblr media
For context I made it for friend’s on Halloween, hence the framing device of explaining my costume. It’s also a sequel to one I made the year earlier about Kuja FF9.

Starry Dee infodump time!!!
Tumblr media
Baby to young adult to adult forms! (info about them under the cut, check out this post about my waddle dee age headcanons for context if you want)
1. Around 12 in human years, this guy is pretty much just your average waddle dee. He hangs out in Castle Dedede, walks around Dreamland when he's bored, and plays with the other waddle dees. There's not much to say about him, he's just a lil cute baby still, pretty much.
2. Around 20 in human years, Starry Dee now has a name and a more personalized appearance! He's captain of the Galactic Nova fanclub, and sticker hoarder extraordinare (bonus points if they're glittery). He spends a lot of his time off hiking and stargazing, always trying to see the next constellation or meteor shower. You'll probably never catch him without his telescope stuck to his back, or a veritable plethora of space-related information at the ready. Sometimes his social skills leave... A little to be desired, but hey, he'll infodump all day about the cycles of the moon and what's going on in space tonight.
3. Around 35 in human years, he spends his days and nights wandering around Dreamland, exploring and having fun. He doesn't tend to talk to other Castle Dees very much, and is woefully behind on Dreamland news, but he doesn't really mind. As passionate as he is about the stars, he cares about other people (or Dees) just as much, and if he makes a friend he'll do just about anything for them, and also tends to go out of his way to befriend other wanderers like himself. His antenna function as miniature telescopes when he puts them over his eyes, and this plus enhanced eyesight lets him wander with little stargazing supplies. His tail helps him keep his balance on cliffs, tree branches, and the other precarious places that he often climbs up to, and even his own skin now matches the night sky he loves so much.

What stupid names? Can I know the names?
Ghirahim, Sephiroth, Zant, Kirby... I'm blanking but I know I have so many more.
(shout-outs to Cris!!! love ya buddy xoxo)
Micolash is a perfectly respectable irl name(a Hungarian variation of "Nikolas", iirc), but on him it has such a Vibe but then again I am writing Him. The name is the least outrageous thing here lmao.
In general, I tend to like villains, and villains tend to have "stupid-as-fuck-on-a-real-person" names. They might be perfectly serviceable with titles, but the moment you take them into a more intimate setting it's just... Bro. You're getting called that, on a day-to-day basis?
God, so sorry for blanking out on the more ridiculous names, I know I have more... But I think the grandiosity of the first two should do plenty well.

Kirby reference The Midnight Soirée chapter 1 & 2
This is Kirby in full! Usually, I would do a full rotation, but I'm too lazy. Unless the other side profile differs greatly, I will keep doing only one side profile for every reference I post.
Fluff 1-5
A warning for minor spoilers for The Midnight Soirée.
Colour Pallete:
Although saturated, Kirby's palette is colourful and uses all colours on the colour wheel except for purple and orange (well, the blue in his eyes is slightly purple and brown is desaturated orange). Kirby is a colourful character; I want to convey that in their colour palette. I had to use grey for the trousers to naturalise the other colours, but I'm pretty happy with it even though it took me a long time to find the right colours to use. Kirby's colour palette is more suited for the natural life on earth than Fluff's reference (which you can see in the preview I posted), as Fluff's colours are much more saturated and benefiting of a supernatural creature whose domain is in the void.
The boots and gloves are red to match each other, but also because I am a sucker for Kirby's iconic red shoe look, I wanted to keep that fun detail in his human form. The gloves/gauntlets were a gift from Meta Knight gift before they embarked on their journey. They are red because Meta Knight used Duke Dedede's favourite colour. As are the boots Bandana Dee gave to match the gloves as Meta Knight and Bandana Dee coordinated their gifts. Duke Dedede chose a blue cloak to represent both Meta Knight and Bandana Dee as they are associated with the colour blue (dark blue for Meta Knight and sky blue for Bandana Dee)
(*More on the cape in the next reference)
(**More on the tunic itself on the reference - sans cape)
Instead, like Meta Knight did by stamping his sigil on Kirby's gloves, Duke Dedede gave Kirby a belt buckle with his emblem. It is subtler than his original plan of emblazing his logo on the back of Kirby's cape. As cool as it would have been, as Kirby laments in Chapter 2 of MS - it would have been too eye-catching and drawn highwaymen to Kirby, who needs to keep a low cover if they want to explore the continent of Popstar without being bothered every turn.
Kirby's clothes are dirty, and doing upkeep on his clothes is difficult while travelling. But they are not super filthy, as Kirby has not travelled that far from Sunset Mountain Range. They are a week away on horseback from the infamous southern mountains of the country of Dreamland. Although Kirby has been taking the scenic route stopping by all the sights and staying at every village to get to know the world beyond the mountain he grew up in. (Well, he was born at the base and only started living at the summit with Dedede, Bandana and Meta after a good while of being friends)
Tumblr media
Hood up! Kirby and * more information about the cape. The rabbit fur is missing some strands because of Kirby's rough travelling style and habit of getting into fights. The fur comes from the rabbits' Sunset Mountain is famous for as Dedede's dukedom handles livestock and its savoury cuisine. (They know how to throw a good potluck). It is customary in Southern Dreamland to sew a travelling gift with this rabbit fur for luck in one's travels. Duke Dedede personally caught the rabbit, skinned it and made a parting dinner with it to wish Kirby safe travels, as the gift would be moot if he did not prepare the rabbit himself.
You can see a subtle star design on Kirby's back with the hood up. The whole cloak represents Kirby's name and connection to the stars. Kirby's full name is Kirby From the Stars/de las Estrellas (the latter is a surname Meta Knight gifted Kirby to protect them from human society and from the Nightly Folk). A nickname that transformed from 'Kirby Godess gifted' to 'Kirby Godess's gift', 'Kirby Starbright' all the way to' child descended from the star' as Kirby's actions proceeded him. Dedede commissioned this cape in Kirby's honour to call back to their first meeting and the amount of effort and work it took for them to become friends/family. Kirby's greatest treasures are the three gifts from his friends (cloak, gloves and boots).
Tumblr media
Dirtless! Kirby. This is after Kirby landed in Underhill. Fluff repaired his cape and polished his shoes and gloves. Other than that, there is not much to say. The patch to Kirby's trousers is left intact because Fluff thought it was a part of the outfit and not a literal patch-up job Kirby did because he tore his pants in the first week of travelling. 
Tumblr media
**As you can see, without the cloak, Kirby lacks the colour blue (aside from his eyes). The green sweater contrasts the red of the boots and gloves, and the yellow contrasts all the blue shades. As for why the tunic is split colour - it is because originally, the tunic was entirely yellow. But that didn't fit Kirby, plus I wanted Kirby to have pink on him as he wouldn't have pink hair as a human (yet). Since the cloak covers the tunic, it doesn't attract too much attention, and even then, a lot of peasant clothing had fun designs. As long as something doesn't look too fancy, Kirby won't be mistaken as a noble or servant of a noble. 
I lovingly call this tunic the Strawberry Custard Tunic. Strawberry because pink for Kirby and the Custard for the yellow dye in relation to Keeby, with the original tunic colour being a reference to them. The tunic's design is inspired by the Hylian tunic from BOTW/TOTK. Which was probably obvious with the leather chest plate. The tassels bring out Kirby's playful side and help spread the pink/yellow across the whole tunic. One side is longer than the other simply to enhance the design a bit, as an even-cut hem is not Kirby's style. Even if I gave Kirby an even-hem, it would slit at the sides for more spatial movement. Kirby's earthen look isn't all that exciting, so the little details go a long way, like the sleeves of the outer tunic, which are flowy and stitched to create folds.
As Kirby bemoans, his tunic isn't very pretty or festive, so they were so tempted to wear the dresses in the closet in chapter one. It is a shame I never got to draw/write Kirby with a dress. Well, maybe next time. :)
Tumblr media
And finally, at the end of chapter 1, Kirby with the blue rose behind his ear. A blue rose symbolises mystery or attaining the impossible. They are notorious for their 'love at first sight' meaning, and as Fluff gave Kirby one thornless rose, this meaning is amplified as gifting one rose means 'you are the one/you are still the one' and a thornless one also means 'love at first sight'. So it's 'love at first sight' message is doubled. It also adds Fluff's blues to Kirby's palette and nicely matches Kirby's blue cloak. 
Chapter 2
Tumblr media
Chapter 2 sees two major differences to Kirby. His hair change, and the sash Fluff gives them. The sash was neither a gift nor a deal because Fluff's sash tied Kirby to Fluff. This way, Fluff knew where Kirby was throughout the whole night. Once Kirby discarded the sash later in the fic, Fluff lost his ability to locate Kirby. 
Fluff changed Kirby's hair pink as a part of a mini deal. Interestingly enough, the pink used for Kirby's hair is not Fluff's brand of pink but the same pink as Kirby's split tunic. It also fits them more than the blonde hair did. Though I am sure many people in their world would disagree with this statement. (The pink also fits the blue rose better. Though that might be my bias showing)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(A closer look comparing Kirby with their natural blonde hair and the pink hair Marquis Fluff magicked without the blue rose.)
I made Kirby blonde because it's the brightest colour next to pink, as I could not make Kirby pink-haired from the start. Pink hair on a human would be really suspicious. If Kirby had been born with pink hair despite being fully human, he would have been tossed into the woods, never to be seen again. Either mauled to death, succumbing to starvation/dehydration or taken in by one of the elusive fae this story is centred around. Now, Fae! Kirby would be a very interesting character to write about. But that is not for this story... 
Kirby's dirty blonde hair (or pudding blonde, as I like to call it) makes the blue of his cape stand out more. If I had chosen brown hair, which is closer to pink and easier to make a gradient out of, it would have blended too much with the fur on the cloak. This worked back when Kirby's cloak was more on the green/cyan side. But that was before I made Kirby's cape and Fluff's tights match. (Though Kirby's hair does appear brown in low light/the dark)
I can also geek out about Kirby's eye colour with this close-up. Kirby's eyes have violet shading in this AU to bring in the colour purple to their palette and accentuate the blues. But also to differentiate this Kirby from canon Kirby as I paint puffball Kirby and Gijnka Kirby with green-blue eyes. Kirby's undertunic woollen sweater is already green, so it would have been too much green. Plus, I couldn't have it contrast with the pinks Kirby uses/is going to use. Blue/violet is a nice compromise as it is analogous to purple. 
Tumblr media
And now the last touch - the flower crown Fluff weaved into Kirby's hair as Kirby took a nap. They are just a bunch of pink and white roses. Nothing sinister about it :) (I got a little lazy with them, but you get the gist)
Okay, but seriously. The meaning of white and pink roses is peculiar. On their own white roses represent loyalty, purity, and innocence. It is a popular wedding flower and can also mean: eternal love and a brand new start. Pink Roses mean grace and sweetness. Other interpretations include; gentleness, appreciation, joy, thankfulness, and elegance. Pink and white roses are used in anniversaries, graduations or as wedding gifts. 
Combined, the Blue rose, pink and white roses mean: "Love at first sight, pure/gentle and graceful/elegant person - I attained the impossible/mystery, and I am thankful for this joy/new beginning you bestowed upon me." 
And so, in the end, Fluff's magenta and blue shades have been added to Kirby's colour palette. More of Kirby's references follow after Fluff's turn with his early chapters appearances. 
Thank you so much for making it to the end of my design notes. Until next time. ♪(^∇^*)ブ
(Don't be afraid to ask questions about this AU. I am all too happy to answer them)

Oh yeah, like I said I’m not a big fan of characterizing Meta Knight as narcissistic with the joke of how the Halberd looks. I’m not really a fan of him being seen as like a tryhard either, something about him just reads as very genuinely Like That to me. As in the knight persona isn’t him trying to be super epic and hypermasculine, it’s just an ideal of a hero he likes shaping himself after.
I think because besides the shyness, one of his biggest defining traits is chivalry and stuff. If he was just a tryhard or was supposed to be characterized as self-centered you’d see that side slip up more often.
But also my favorite thing about his whole aesthetic is that he’s like a brooding dark knight, but he’s always wielded a golden sword and has had yellow as key in his palette. It gives the vibe of a night sky illuminated by bright warm stars, so that’s how I read his knight persona. As a knight of darkness but whom with his sword has dedicated himself to goodness and justice. And I see that as inherently humble, to not present yourself as a perfect shining white knight but as dark and off-putting as you’d like, but no matter what still upholding that ideal.
Meta being a very genuine goth and not just Some Edgy Dude is important to me, thats my thesis honestly. If Dedede can line a hallway with portraits of himself, Meta is allowed to put his mask on his own boat, as a treat.

Ykw!? Fuck you throws some Kirby oc lore at you!
I am about to potentially ramble so yeah lmfao you've been warned it might be long!
So this guy right? His name is Elfporius mhm well he's from an alternate universe of Elfilin he looks different because in this world the two sides TRULY found peace in one another resulting in a more fused look
In this AU I wanted to play around with the portals a bit and yeah- he's not supposed to be in cannon world- Elfilin freaks the fuck out upon first meeting him lmao
Tumblr media
He also in his home world has a "sibling"(he wasn't the first attempt of being the ultimate being...)
His "sibling" being Imfay
Tumblr media
She was the first attempt in his world, unfortunately she didn't come out as well as he did but that didn't mean during their time together they didn't form a brother and sister like bond
However the two got separated during the time of an encounter making things very complicated due to being separated by portal and this is how Imfay met the cannon world Kirby and Elfilin-
Imfay says really nothing about who she is in fear of raising a hell storm of trouble but she kinda slips a little bit every now and then around Elfilin saying some things that normally only he would know, raising an eyebrow at this a few times here and there but not really questioning it all too much
Kirby is Kirby and is very curious about Imfay, if he could. He'd ask well over 20 questions about her lmfao
And yeh that tems the creturs sorry about my speaking I don't know how to word things when I talk about my OC's without getting autistic with it enenebebnebe

I was gonna work on the second page of Magic Pains, got half way done coloring it then said "fuck it DOODLE DUMP TIME!!" Really I just doodled whatever my heart wanted to, so we got some silly, some wholesome and some uh oh... I really should post more about my hcs for Galacta Knight. I also probably should brush up on drawing him so I can do silly meme centric comics of my AU version of him and Meta Knight accordingly. Anyways he's a baker and runs his own shop with his wife out of his home. He is very prideful on his cooking and won't allow any of family members to eat gross super market baked goods. Oh and Myra is just cursed to be shorter no matter what form she takes it seems. Serena seems quite amused with her daughter's antics. Meta Knight and Serena just having a nice nap and needed downtime of course. I often depict these two at ends but here is a rare moment of peace between them. Serena and a very...familiar looking butterfly? Oh dear this could bode something terrible. And finally random Gooey I accidently distored for your viewing pleasure.

Currently just thinking about just how weird Kirby’s process of growth is.
When he first arrived on Popstar at a few weeks old, he was tiny. 8 — 10 inches, to be exact. That’s average for someone his age.
By the time they defeated Nightmare in the anime at a year old, they were 3 feet tall, and already had horns and fangs growing in.
When he defeated and purified Void at 3 years, he was 5’9”, his horns were almost fully grown, and his wings were way too big for someone his age.
Now, in modern day, at 4 years old, he’s 6’1”, his horns are fully grown, and his wings are well on their way to the end of the final growth stage.
That is… not normal, like at all.
Kirby’s height when he first came to Popstar is understandable — after all, he was only a couple weeks old. However, the fact that he grew to 3 feet tall in 1 year is concerning, considering how Star Warrior growth and aging works. Meta Knight, Hano, and Empress were pretty confused when his horns started growing — that happens at about 2 years of age — but they put it off as a random growth spurt.
Then Kirby’s wings started growing in. At 2 years old.
That is the furthest thing from normal.
Wing growth is Star Warriors typically starts at 5 years, not 2. And their wings were growing fast. 6 months later, they were bigger than them. At this point, Kirby was about 4’9”. That is abnormally large for a 2-year-old Star Warrior.
His height began changing drastically, too. After 9 months from his wings starting to grow, he was 5’9”, and the storyline of Star Allies was just beginning.
Void predicts that, if they continue growing the way they are now, they’ll be fully grown by the time they’re 6.
That is the least amount of normal something could be.
For reference, Galacta Knight was 7’3” from 22 to modern day, and he won’t be getting any taller. Star Warriors in general are typically in adult stages of growth by 16 or 17 years, and average height for those ages is about 6’5”. Star Warriors are usually fully grown when they’re 20 — 22 (the latter being Galacta Knight’s case).
In other words, Kirby grew alarmingly (and unsurprisingly very painfully) faster than is normal. He somehow ended up in the final growth stages at 4 years old instead of the expected 16, and will be done growing by the time he’s 6.
That is terrifying.
Void estimates that, since his parents were both over 7 feet tall, he is going to end up at the very least 7’9”, at most 8’3”. He is expected to grow 1-2 feet in 2 years.
Many people are, understandably, incredibly concerned. Including Void, and especially Galacta.
Even Elfilis is alarmed. They didn’t understand at first (they thought kirby was, in fact, a teenager when they met), but now that his situation has been explained to them, they are actually starting to freak out a bit.
Fumu has been trying to research Star Warrior growth and come to a conclusion as to why this is happening, but she hasn’t found any leads yet. There isn’t much documentation as to Star Warrior growth, unfortunately.
Hano, Meta, and Galacta have absolutely no clue why they’re growing so fast, and they are the most knowledgeable people in Dreamland when it comes to Star Warrior biology.
They’ll find out eventually, but until then, they just have to remain confused and scared.
sucks to be you ig lol
