FHUIHFIJE SHADOWVANILLA-ERS

sorry my hate autism is spreading to crk So like its very obvious that a lot of these new shadowvani fans dont read the stories outside of ep 7 and 8 because they keep referring to pv as a king in their works even though hes abdicated and just the unlabeled democratic representative of the vanilla kingdom now 😂😂😂😂😂 CAN YOU GUYS JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME

Wind Down Cloud

I started drawing this the other day after it rained so hard. Having to finish this just now.

In shackled branch- does CV ever use the fact that shmilk is chained against him/the other beasts and heroes?

Ah well fuck

(REMEMBER!!! HE’S ALIVE!!! HE’S REPAIRABLE!!!! AND THE SOUL JAMS ARE TOO!!! DON’T RUN IN MY REPLIED, DMS AND ASK BOX ASKING IF HE’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT AND IF THE JAMS WILL BE REPAIRED!!!!!)

If Corrupted Vanilla were to get his goal of eternal peace through controlling every cookie, would Shadow Milk be included in the cookies he puppets or no?

He’d be asked to join :)

Just a character design that I've thought of, and uh something something flower holding

MASSIVE Return to Dreamland Deluxe/Magolor Epilogue spoilers below the cut! You have been warned!!!

So, I went into the Magolor Epilogue blind (aside from what I saw in the official trailers, of course) and I'm SO glad I did. That final boss absolutely fucking blindsided me, and I've been itching to talk about some themes and symbolism that I think were intentional.

So, many are already aware of Magolor having yellow in his color scheme as a reference to Judas and his betrayal (this also, funnily enough, kind of implies that Kirby is a Christ figure in his universe which... yeah, that tracks).

But I don't think the religious aspect stops there. Everyone was making jokes about Magolor going to superhell, and... that's kind of accurate, in a sense- though it's probably closest in comparison to the popular concept of Purgatory: a place where the imperfect go to be purified of sin (though, actual Christian doctrine treats Purgatory more like a process than a place, but we'll ignore that).

Magolor Epilogue is essentially the "purification" of Magolor's soul trough a trial by fire- as evidenced by the fact that the worlds he must traverse loosely mirror those Kirby traveled previously. Before he can truly find salvation, he must understand exactly what he put Kirby (and the others) through by experiencing it himself firsthand.

But the most important thing I wanted to talk about is the final boss and the moments leading up to it. Throughout his journey, Magolor collects pieces of a gem apple seed that grants him the absurdly powerful abilities that he'd lost before. Apples are pretty commonly used to symbolize the "forbidden fruit" in the Garden of Eden- which grants one knowledge of good and evil (though, classically, this essentially implies knowledge of everything, and thus ultimate power).

Here, however, the fruit seems to symbolize purification rather than corruption, and his final task is to destroy the very thing that tainted his soul in the first place: the Master Crown. His final battle is a bookend, of sorts. In the main story mode, the first boss you fight is, of course, Whispy Woods- an apple tree. In Magolor Epilogue, however, an apple tree is the very last boss you encounter, which may be representative of returning to a state of innocence.

Anyway, I still have more thoughts on the epilogue, but I can't really articulate them well so this is where my rambling ends. Make of it what you will.

I might try post here by now

Hello Tumblr

Slooooowly moves Mystic Flour onto the aspec (ramble below)

Maybe she struggled with why she felt little attraction when she was uncorrupted, but ignored it in favor of her work, and then when she was spiraling it sort of added to the stress. (“Why do I care? I can’t even feel right.”)

Then later on she brings it up talking to Strawberry or someone and she’s just like “Oh you’re asexual :)”

I present to you something even better - Dark Cacao AND Mystic Flour being on the ace spectrum and sort of bonding over it.

Also this is now absolutely canon to the AU, THANK YOU

(Dark cacao’s whole colour pallet is just the asexual flag, all the signs are there)
