This is to commemorate the year of the Wood Snake, my zodiac animal. It's late, but still.

The gent drawn here is an OC of mine, but older; that I made when I was 10. A friend of the other OC I drew in December.

What do you mean this game is 3 years old?!

But really, Happy anniversary to you to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, to the purest boi and to my favorite final boss!!!

Vote for your favorite 💛

But... voting for Pure Vanilla Cookie is the only right choice (kidding).

Shadow Milk is only supporting PV so Mystic Flour can demolish him later, no other reason at all...

SORRY I COULDN'T RESIST-

Rest in peace, Gooey. You would've loved Mouthful Mode. 😔

So, wedding update, right?

You don't how much fun I had designing wedding dresses for Shadow Milk Cookie. I had many variations, and honestly, I'm still indecisive.

Designing Pure Vanilla Cookie's suit was a bit of a challenge, as I have not as many choices, but I wanted something unique. But anyway, we know the bride is the star of the show.

Here, the sketches:

Yayy wow the world could so beautiful

Meta Knight says hi to you. Rb to let him say hi to your mutuals

Can't sleep, can't focus on my personal projects, my next semester is starting. Have some orbs that struggle at showing sincere affection.

I forgot putting these extra sketches, a little teaser. These are NOT the finalized designs (I gave Taranza a mech) but will give you an idea of my process.

Role Swap AU: Susie and Taranza

Hey, hey, hey, new roleswap au!

Ok, ok. I finally decided to post this. This thing is being in the works since 2023. I originally kept it to myself as I perfected the designs and story (and got swept away by other projects...) but here it is: My Kirby Role Swap Au!

It started out with just the idea what if THESE TWO swapped roles. Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot are some the most thematic heavy games, gardens and technology, fairytales and sci-fi, a kingdom and a company.

I kind of goes against my usual patterns, I usually show off main characters first, but I think this duo represents better my vision. I'll slowly showcase other characters whenever I get the chance.

Anyway, let me elaborate in my au versions of these characters.

Taranza:

A young inventor from a distant planet and a rather recent hire of Sectra Labs Inc., a company that specializes in biotechnology and bionics, that is genetic manipulation and mechanical enhancements. This company explores the universe to harvest new specimens for their experiments. In their travels, Taranza hopes of reuniting with an old friend.

When thinking about this au, I didn't want things to be just changing roles, but also a few story details and how they play out. So, I made SLI a bio tec company instead of a robotics one.

Taranza, then, doesn't use magic but his own inventions (he doesn't have any genetic alterations as he is new). I drew how electricity just bolts from his gloves, he also has invisibility and a sticky solution he can shoot. I also gave him these expressive goggles just because I like those.

In story, he is a bit peeved about having to deal with the interloper in his first planetary harvest trip; but we also get to see a dorkier side of him as he gushes about what he or the company has made to deal with the pink pest, I'm thinking Varian from Tangled.

But also, as the plot moves, he grows concerned about how intrusive the harvest process actually is as he joined for a legit interest of helping improving lives using processes of nature, like Joronia used to do. Oh, the pain he will find in the end.

Susie:

Through the islands of Crystalia descended a mysterious lady who captured Lord Meta Knight, but why? Whatever her mission is, she won't tell. Yet it's clear she will use any tricks to not let anyone get in her way. With her magic crystal, she can control the elements.

Oh Susie, Susie, Susie. I had this long conundrum. Ok, Tanzy has mechanical enhancements to replace magic, but in a way different to how Susie uses tech (it wasn't always like that); but how do I do something similar to Susie?

I came up with the wand, but that wasn't enough. This came up to me recently, but what if she could just create elemental armor around her? Something like how certain character does in Ninjago Dragons Rising; but is wind, is water, it can be anything! She does have other things too, like her crossbow.

She is a woman on a mission, but this time is Crystalia instead of Floralia. I wanted something natural and pretty, but that kinda aligns better with the characters involved. Kirby still has to climb the Dreamstalk using Sunstones, though.

Opossed to Taranza, Susie seems to have some sort of secret plan. She is wayless chatty, acts more somber. Could it be related to her being a wanted fugitive by the kingdom?

Ok, this winded up longer than intended. I hope you find my idea interesting. I'll get to more entries when I can, might drop at random days, I have other projects I want out. Could look up "EFY's Kirby role swap au" to find more entries... or just follow me (・・。)ゞ

Thanks for taking some interest!

I can't help but wonder...

What if I got him by my side?

Oh, cookie angst. This duo is everything to me, the themes, the contrast, the parallels, the colors 💛💙 I don't know how to properly describe it, like they are meant to be together, as foes, as friends, as companions. I felt this since Shadow Milk got introduced; but with chapters 7 and 8, this feeling got stronger.

...I would have gotten to drawing this if I wasn't busy with college.

But anyway, since you decided to read whatever I wrote here, can I comment on the legendary costumes' story?

It's a post-corruption/didn't fully became a beast SMilk, not his pre-corrupted form. His whole conversation with Truthless Recluse, I admit, got my head spinning. He talked about everyone having their truth, noting that TR's is "to protect others from anguish". He also mentioned that he went through the same despair as TR (continuing the canon of SM seeing himself in PV).

I wondered if the story shed some light into how Shadow Milk turned into a Beast. It is already known that he turned to deceit because of cookies around him choosing it as well and there's no further elaboration.

So, did he just corrupt just because? No, absolutely not. I think there were two traits of the Fount of Knowledge that were at play. First, I think he was somewhat of a crowd pleaser, as the Sage, he always tries to put on a show, make something entertaining, answer any inquiries. As a Beast, sure his showmanship is to entertain himself, but his whole deceit thing is giving those cookies what they want.

Second, and most important, I'm quite sure SMilk fears/hates rejection. Turning to falsities is rejecting knowledge after all.

Shadow Milk Cookie became who he is as a way to lash out at the rejection of his knowledge, to give them the performance they wanted to see.

Tangent but, when Pure Vanilla offers him his friendship, the whole fearing rejection explains why not only he rejects it, but in such fury, leaving the whole showman act. (Image below to break monotony, I'm just proud of this little section)

I want to go back to the truths the Sage comments on, what's his that make him curse himself? Going by the Recluse's, I guess is 'to give others knowledge', but that alone couldn't give him despair. I think there has to be a second part to the statement.

At the end of the story, the Recluse is gone, and the Sage hears cookies still pursuing the truth. So, the Truthless Recluse 'complete' truth will be 'to protect others from anguish (here, the cruel truth), but there would always be cookies seeking it' And with that logic, the Fount of Knowledge is 'to give others knowledge, but there will always be cookies that will reject it'.

No matter his title, prestige or merit, not everyone will like it. Could the Fount had gone insane searching for a knowledge that will get everyone to accept him, could it be that when he reached the Peak of Truth, he felt like the universe pulled a sick joke on him.

The Sage's eureka at the comment of the Peak of Truth having nothing be his realization that what he found was technically something he already knew, but denied for so long. Laid there, not as a sick prank, but a challenge to finally shed the lie. I mean, his other theory was that someone took all there was. (Does this make sense?, I'm still doubting my read)

But yeah, that Sage of Truth overcame his despair by accepting every part of that truth and still trying to live by the first part. And can I gush about his characterization? He's so jolly and enthusiastic, open for new ideas.

And the way he describes himself, a scholar and academic, but also a performer and an artist. Is just lovely how his showy persona is not just part of the charming liar act. Though that got me thinking, was the Fount also like this?

I mean in that era, cookies sought him out, he had his Spire of Knowledge and is very hinted he is connected to the Blueberry Yogurt Academy. Then is the Sage's "Not like those academics" line.

Wouldn't it be interesting that as the Fount, his way of giving knowledge was restricted by academia, that he wasn't able to be fully himself and when he became Shadow Milk Cookie, in a way he found freedom.

If that were the case, the Sage is even a happier situation as he can do what he wants as himself. And hey, I can make a parallel to Pure Vanilla, as he forgoes his title, like PV stops being king. He is in a humbler position, no spire but talking in a town square, where he found his crowd.

Though is kind of a sad that in a way the story still implies that he has no friends. Sure, lots of cookies see him every day, but they are there for the knowledge, not the Sage himself as they don't know or want to know about him. I guess his path would only be lonely...

Unless someone who understands came his way.

Anyway, thanks for reading my very long essay, I wanted to also speak of my early prediction of SM and PV switching sides and how this costume set somewhat gives me some of that, but again this is long, so I'll just leave it there. Have a sketch of the Sage of Truth and Compassionate Pure Vanilla having a tea party.

Below the art background without effects.

And the main part isolated.

He's gorgeous in every form✨💛 I wanted to draw him for the longest time.

Wish me look pulling for both legendary costumes.

I saw a pretty movie theater art and got inspired, so I drew this days ago, and I couldn't wait to post it!!!! ✨❤️
