˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ about ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

i'm a kirby artist who specialises in comics, storytelling, and worldbuilding. lately my work has been focused on telling an original story about my oc/sona starstruck dee, but i also have several canon-focused AUs in various stages of development and release!

my blog is typically rated pg-16. nothing overly untoward or visually explicit, but there's some swearing and the occasional (text-based) suggestive joke.

i really enjoy developing in-depth sci-fi worlds and environments, languages and cultures, and biological or magical headcanons! my ask box is open, and i love to receive questions about my stories, aus, headcanons, and so on.

⛔ i am not doing commissions or requests. ⛔ please do not attempt to roleplay with me. ✅ i reblog art and content by others in the community! i aim for 2-3 pieces a day, almost always from the queue.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ starstruck dee masterpost; for everything relating to my oc starstruck dee, and her ongoing story gravitational collapse

‧₊˚ ☾ ˖°✧ #awtdy au; tag for everything relating to my "galacta knight and meta knight switch places based on an evil wish" AU. this is a good starter post for this au!

⋆ ⏱˙⟡'♡ #clockwork heart au; tag for everything related to an off-shoot of awtdy au, a "what if marx showed up and made stuff even worse" scenario

｡˚ ʚɞ ⋆｡ #chrysallis au; tag for everything relating to my "bandee is possessed by morpho" AU, including morpho dee

please be aware my creative work is drama heavy, and characters are not always having a good time. my stories are written by an adult, about adults, and while generally suitable for teen audiences they contain angst, violence, and complicated relationship themes.

artfight attack on @pastelaeqy's Aria done in my page card style! had an absolute blast with this character, she has a stunning design!

had to crunch these gifs like crazy for upload anywhere, but there's an mp4 under the cut! besides the time-heavy nature of creating it, one of the worst downsides of this style is that it's so hard to share the finished pieces anywhere because of the file size 😂💖

i just want to make a little update to say an enormous thank you to everybody who shared support and kindness with me regarding recent updates and revelations and what not!

i also want to give the heads up that i'm planning to resume regular posting of community content from my queue (which i had paused) and responding to gift-art over the next few days!

looking forward to getting back to normal 💖💖

hey there Boa!! nice to hear from you! this is a perfectly fine question! i absolutely understand why it's unclear in my work, and apologise for any confusion caused!

my work regularly blurs the lines of platonic intimacy vs romantic intimacy. that's mostly because i myself, as an aroace person, don't adhere to those lines or find the distinction important, so my fictional work also has a broadly "it's whatever" tone to it. my headcanon for popstar as a whole is that monogamy or romance as a narrative or social concept Doesn't Exist; but that does not mean that all of the actions or behaviours that we would associate with romance do not exist there in some form. it's just that the social structure around them is not present.

i've often insisted that bandeestruck is platonic in the past. this comes from a very specific place of not wanting them to be misunderstood as performing tropes that are usually codified by our society as necessary romantic milestones. but i've realised this is mostly only an important distinction as representation to me as an aroace person, and subsequently over the years i've realised i have a bigger fear- bandeestruck being misunderstood as being """"Just Friends""" or even worse, something familial.

so that said, i think that in an either-or scenario, i would say it is best to assume that most of starstruck's relationships with her peers who are adults in a compatible age-bracket are actually best viewed through a romantic lens rather than a platonic one, and never a familial one. she is inherently an abundant lover: she is both emotionally and physically intimate very quickly. this is not at all unusual or unique on Popstar, which i consider to be broadly kind of like One Huge Polycule of friends with varying levels of interpersonal closeness.
