in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). theyโre going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archiveโs online library service. itโs so fucking stupid.
for those who donโt know what the internet archive is, itโs a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either donโt exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? thatโs part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i donโt say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.
so how can you help?
boycott the publishing companies involved in this. theyโre absolute ghouls, frankly, and donโt deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.
learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area thatโs closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.
get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. itโll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but theyโre so so useful. if you canโt afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.
donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and itโs going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise itโs helpful.

Introducing the Dream Friends AUโ (or as I like to call it: U.I.D.KB-42792-DF(DF is short for dream friends.) because I like to make things complicated, lmao.)
Part 1: In-game events (DL2-FL Part 1) (The Dream Friends AU)โ
Shortly after Dark MatterโSwordsmanโ'sโ firstโ attemptโ atโ invadingโ Popstar, he escaped with barely an inch of his life left and earned a permanent banishment from Dark Star, the events of Dreamland 3 (with the exception of the Dark Matter Kirby fights isn't DMS) and Crystal shards go as usual, and when Superstar rolls around (specifically milky way wishes), when Marx (somehow) got the sun and moon to fight, Dalmo (Dalmo is a female humanoid whose face is always covered by a sticky note which a lot were fooled by into thinking it's her actual face, but behind that sticky note hides a dark secret, in place of a face, is a giant singular (somehow familiar looking) eye, which means she is a member of the dark matter species who has somehow obtained a permanent vessel (will do a character blog on her later).)โ actually tagged along with Kirby to summon Galactic Nova, only for Marx to steal the wish instead, and after a battle with Marx and sending him flying into Nova (Marx survived by the way and accidentally absorbed a piece of Nova to still live) Kirby and Dalmo headed home, a few weeks later they decided to check on Marx, Kirby wanted to take Marx home, but Dalmo knew this wasn't a cake walk, so after divising a plan to bring Marx home (Marx was chilling at his battlefield), it's time to put it into motion, and after a bit persuading (with food) Marx decided to go home with them,amazing mirror and squeak squad go as usual, then in return to dreamland Dalmo and Ginger (a feline puffball with excellent mastery over ninja weapons who arrived a week before the events RTDL)โ come in and help the gang, (also side note Magolor caught a glimpse of whatever is under her sticky note, and he was terrified of it back then, now he sees it as him not being very familiar with the nature of the dark matter species back then, after all he never had a friend who is a member of the dark matter species up until that point.) and we get a glimpse of both of their abilities as well, triple deluxe goes as usual, and for planet robobot, let's just say cake hit the floor. and here comes the meaty part where the au completely takes a huge turn, everything remains the same except Dark Matter Swordsmanโ properly gets to adventure with Kirby. Kirby also finally gets to see what's under Dalmo's sticky note, which was pretty terrifying even for Kirby, and after many tough battles, friends new and old, blitzing through the Jambastion, and meeting the Three Mage Sisters, they finally arrived at the Divine Terminus, defeat Zan Partizane and Hyness, so Hyness sacrifices the mage sistersโ and himself to the Jamba Heart โ,Kirby, Ginger, Dalmo, Marx and Magolor chased after the now completed Jamba Heart in the Star Allies Sparkler,โthen the battle that will decide the fate ofโ the universe ensues, after the firstโ fewโ phasesโ ofโ Voidโ Termina, Dalmo noticed that Void Terminaโ was actuallyโ using her species' signature abilitiesโ with a mixture of the abilities of The Three Mage Sisters, Kirby accidentally shot one of the eyes that appeared on Void Termina out of panic, and it caused some serious damage for them(void), then after a bit of calculation Dalmo came up with a strategy, shooting any of Void's eyes that pop up on their(Void uses They/Them pronouns)โ body, and void was down for the count, of course the core wasn't down, the main body was just exhausted, and after dealing it 3 times, Void Termina was defeated, but due to the sheer force of the conflict the battlefield crumbled, thankfully the escape route came in handy and everyone made it out safely, then Heroes in Another Dimension happens. Forgotten Land comes next, and Kirby, Ginger, Dalmo, DMS, Marx, Magolor and Susie (though Dalmo's team landed somewhat later than Kirby and Ginger) along with the other Popstar natives got sucked into a dimensional rift, into the Forgotten Land, thanks to Ginger's strong psyche she was able to resist Fecto Forgo's control, and teamed up with Kirby to deal with the situation at hand.
May I have the back view please? (Also my art style is based a lot on canon Kirby with some cookie run, hollow knight, Pikmin, Among us, and Pokรฉmon sprinkled in, so it might end up looking more like official twitter art, but there are a few notable differences, Iโm not good at drawing hands, so they end up looking like balls, and sometimes Iโd totally forget the color of a Dark Matterโs Iris, which is why itโs black most of the time and I somehow find that cute, and Iโm not good at dynamic poses too.)
Pssst anyone down for an art trade :D
Reblogingโ on main since this is important.
To all my moots and anyone I've contacted: I'm moving messaging platforms entirely , since apparently, tumblr had the audacity to make my messages disappear, what the frick!? This happened twice!
Another thing that happened on main (which also happened here) is, my reblogs being hidden entirely, what in the absolute frick.
I'm open to talk on discord, though I won't respond as often. My username is sh1buya_t0as7.
Has anyone heard of Deekness ft.IA yet? For anyone who's heard of it and couldn't find the lyric translation for it, good news! I managed to translate (And used https://m.romajidesu.com/translator to translate the lyrics and edited it a little.) it myself, I'm not a Japanese expert myself,โ so it can be considered a little better than Google translate.
Video and Lyrics under the cut!

Yep, totally fine. (Note: Periwinkle replies with blue text, like this: Hi!)
OC tournament participants, can you interact with this post if it's okay for me to have Valfrey interact with your OC?

You can call me shibuya/shibu/shi for short, she/her. Ships: only platonic ones, no romance for me. Fandoms: Kirby, pokemon, and Paper Mario, used to be in cookie run which is why my artstyle is so reminiscent of it.(Alsoโ my pfp may look crappy because graph paper isn't very good for drawing, but that's how it is for all of the notebooks I have that haven't been used up. It's rare to come across a notebook full of empty sheets of paper for me, since I have to buy notebooks from a stationery shop nearby,I plan on changing it later.) Please keep in mind that I'm not very active, since I have life to deal with.
