HAPPY BIRTHDAY META KNIGHT!

Once again, it's the anniversary of "Kirby's Adventure," and once again, we're celebrating Meta Knight's birthday! Wow, and I can't believe it's the fourth of the year I've done this. Last year, the previous year, my first one

Kirfluff Week Day 1: Pinning~

Kirfluff Week is being run by @azzie-tangerine

I tried to do a little reflective set for the two... not gonna lie I made myself dizzy while doing it... WORTH IT THOUGH!

"Are you sure we'll be friends when we meet, Gally?"

"The best of friends, mety!Nothing will change that!"

This is fanart for @kirbybecomesastarwarrior au based on their post on how meta knight and galacta used to be friends.

Also, let's just pretend that the gsa has some pretty vents and that's why gala can crawl through even with the wings.

Happy Birthday to Kirby & King Dedede 34th

In KBASW, Kirby's relationship with King Dedede is so integral to both of their stories. And those who aren't familiar it's a play on the opening them of "Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart." (Mao Mao, you did not deserve to get canceled...) I think this song is so fitting for Kirby and King Dedede: Dede & Marx's story arcs are tied for my favorite in KBASW.

And in general, I have such a deep love for the Kirby series. This goes out to the anime & the games. It's brought me so much joy and has led to some of my happiest memories.

Formal Attire~

I got the blueberry & the raspberry to suit up! (So yeah, I've been playing Cookie Run Kingdom...) I got inspired by some of the characters' alternate costumes. I really wanted to do celebratory outfits for Meta Knight & Galacta Knight (Gala was highly inspired by Hollyberry Cookie). Outfit Name

Meta Knight: Cosmic Crash Crown

Galacta Knight's: Temporal Radiance

Maskless Version

Jecra's Journal (the reveal)

While I am putting most of my attention towards "The Mage Behind the Man...", I promise I'm still working on "The Knightmare's End." As proof, I'd like to give you a little tasty bit of lore (as well as a preview of the next chapter... to be more accurate, end of the next chapter.)

Where we last left the story (In the Heart of a Knight), Meta Knight had managed to get everyone in the cast to hate him and to have King Dedede fire him. Because that's what he wanted, why?

Well, that tea is spilt by none other than Knuckle Joe and Sirica (I'm still not used to drawing them, it's getting there). Basically they are the catalysts for the gang to go find Meta Knight... (how they got Jecra's journal gotta wait to find out.) The journal reveals MK's connection with Nightmare... and what it means now that he's defeated it. What will become of Meta Knight now?

I also wanted to take this chance to confirm that MetaJecra is indeed canonically in the KBASW AU. AND WHY... BECAUSE I'M ALL ABOUT THAT ANGST FUEL! Said this a while back Jecra is basically Meta's Patroclus, and went berserk after his death (similar to Achilles)

Happy Birthday, Meta Knight! <3

It's the "Kirby's Adventure" Anniversary, which means it's the first game Meta Knight debuted in, meaning his birthday! (Love you)

So remember that little angel character that would always help Kirby and Prince Fluff, in Kirby's Epic Yarn? Well, in the KBASW, she's Fluff's godmother and served as the royal adviser (or so the people of Patchland have been told). Her main connection lies with King Fisher; what they don't know is far more important than the people realize...

King Fisher/ AKA Fluff's father, The Creation of the Magic Yarn and Sock, Fluff's Mom & Prince Fluff the Grail Prince:

So, Angie's the Grail....

Angie could not be seen by anyone unworthy... and if she tried to reveal herself, there was a big chance that she may accidentally "blind, smite, or possibly vaporize" the poor soul... (it's based on the actual holy Grail lore & similar to how Galaxia shocks anyone whose unfit to wield the sword). The bar was set high; it took a thousand years until Fisher found her. (Falspar was a candidate too, but that's a story for another day...)

This all happened a few months after the deal with Yin-Yarn was made...

Fisher didn't treat her as an all-powerful sacred relic; they were friends. Even though the Grail blessed Fisher, it also cursed him to be immortal, and the years were starting to take their toll on him mentally. Meeting his wife (Queen Scarlett) remedied his sadness, but she knew that he'd tragically outlive her. (He would've eventually ended up like the canonical Fisher King...)

But Angie couldn't break her deal with Fisher; it'd also destroy the Magic Yarn and protection on Patchland. But if he made another deal with someone else, maybe... that's why she allowed Yin-Yarn in because not only would it give Fisher & Scarlett the child they've always wanted, but it would break King Fisher's immortality.

She knew that clown (Yin-Yarn) could never take over Patchland (not with the power of the grail infused there), but after Fisher was gone, that would mean she'd go back to being unseen, waiting for someone else to wield her... to talk to her, or even see her. It'd be another century if she were lucky.... However, Fisher knew what she had done for him... and he wasn't going to allow that to happen to his dearest friend.

King Fisher & Queen Scarlett were the only ones who knew Angie's real identity as the grail. They all had a few wonderful years before King Fisher eventually passed. After that, Angie had fully intended to have him be her last wielder, but much to her surprise and delight, Prince Fluff had shown potential to handle the magic of the grail.

They did have a plan if Yin-Yarn were ever to return… but King Fisher couldn't have predicted the disappearance of Queen Scarlett.  Which left Angie to fend off Yin-Yarn with the limited power she had, without a wielder to channel her magic through. 

The reason why Angie didn’t tell Fluff that she was the grail… was because he wasn’t ready. Fluff was on a loathing streak, blaming himself for the disappearance of his mom and the death of his dad. If she told him that now, to him it would be another reason why he was inadequate compared to his father!  (Since Fluff wouldn't be able to see her grail form yet...) So she planned to tell him once his powers were fully mastered.

Hoping she could buy herself some time to get Patchland back under control, she rigged the sock Yin-Yarn stole, sending him over to Dreamland. Angie was just extremely lucky that the sock led him to where Kirby was.

Initially, Angie was going to intervene, but seeing how determined Prince Fluff was to save Patchland himself, she couldn't say no... Not only that, but this whole journey may be the very thing Fluff needed to get him out of his shell and get his confidence back.

After they saved Patchland... (she was so proud of him), she encouraged Prince Fluff to continue and go out into the world. Eventually, Fluff does find out what happened to his mom (with the help of Kirby & Falspar) he finally masters his power. This leads to this glorious moment where she can finally reveal her true identity!
