#starry dee

AT LONG LAST IT IS HERE! (we ignore page 1 looking kinda funky that one was made like a few months ago ok) and anyway I know it still isn't Great but I've wanted to make Starry Dee's story into a comic series for a Long time and even though i'm not the best i finally feel confident enough to give it a go!!! this was also my first time trying to actually do the Composition part of a comic and i won't lie it's kind of scary but i think it turned out alright!! i know this is sort of too short to be called a "chapter" since it's only 3 pages but you would not believe how long it took lmao. like. holy shit. people who do comics regularly i respect you so much.

I've been putting off actually sitting down and Making this comic for almost a year and a half now lmao so it's kind of weird that this whole time it's been like. "Starry is running out of time ooohhh no!!!!" and then nothing ever happened ever. BUT lol. here i am now! if anyone noticed, i Did actually slightly change Nova's design, mainly I just shuffled a few colors around lol. (also, baby starry dee cameo!!)

but speaking of Nova!!! ohh boy I have Thoughts about them. so they were one of the first few clockwork stars that the Ancients created, which is why their specific clockwork star model doesn't have as many of the trinkets and doodads of later ones. also because they were one of the prototypes, they don't have to be summoned with wishing stars or whatnot like the ones we see in the games - the Ancients hadn't thought that far ahead yet, so they're kind of just ...... there, albeit in a very remote part of space. since they've been freed they've been slowly learning that it's Okay to feel emotions and have opinions and all of these things which is great!! but it also means that they have to experience fear and worry for someone else and something out of their control for the first time, and this is. not an emotion that they like at all. so they're just throwing everything at the wall to try to make it stop lol. originally they tried to convince starry dee to just let them fix him, because they still technically have all the powers of their clockwork star form, and they could change his biology so that he no longer needs the contact of other waddle dees to survive.

however, that idea is also unfortunately... kind of going about it in the wrong way? because identity is very important to waddle dees, and nova doesn't really understand that. so they were just like "hey you're broken let me fix you and change you into something else" which is coming from a good place but starry dee didn't really take it that way, so he won't let them "cure" him. especially because starry specifically Wants to function like a normal waddle dee so badly. and he wants to be accepted and normal but he's also so afraid of it (due to his past) at this point that he would Rather eventually die than go back and face the other waddle dees.
