Alright, I had to give him the topknot.

The knowledge that Dedede isn't actually a penguin and is in fact some unknown species of bird is still messing me up, but on the bright side that means I can do whatever I want with his species traits in stories >:)

I'm gonna give him some penguin and quail characteristics. I honestly like the quail idea to explain his r o u n d n e s s .

Alright, cycle of matter isn't necessarily canon since there's been no official statement about void's relations to puffballs or dark matter. (Ty misconception wiki)

Doesn't change the fact that 45 kirbies died. (For those confused, the first 9 die to the wand and the next 36 die from skullies when traveling from island to island.)

I'm still on-board the cycle of matter/void theory and I'm using it in personal interpretation but due to it being a theory I'm gonna try and be more lenient with upcoming titles :)

Bro, I wanna talk about the implications of Kirby Mass Attack so bad... I will go down with the take that it's the darkest Kirby game of all time; a MINIMUM of 45 Kirbys end up dead and lore implications (like the cycle of matter/mitosis) make it so much worse! 😭

Imagine, as a child, having to guide/care for infant versions of yourself that can barely defend themselves and at least 45 of them end up dying.

This shit was so bad the ending had Kirby actually do some self reflection. Straight up looking out at the void of space and acknowledging that darkness had to exist IN NARRATIVE TEXT!

Kirby may not be phased by too much at his current age, but oh my god the stuff he's gonna have to reflect on when he's older...

So the Kirby wiki is advertising their list of misconceptions page, which addresses a lot of widespread commonly held beliefs about the Kirby series which are all untrue. Such as "Kirby can fucking talk" and "Kirby doesn't say Poyo" ect. The Kirby wiki is very well written and researched and sourced and articulated in general and this page is a delightful headlined addition.

People have been responding to this by saying "WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SONIC!" which is true, the problem with that being that the only Sonic wiki is Fandom slop and there isn't an independent fan wiki for Sonic like there is for Kirby. But yes, Sonic would definitely benefit from a misconceptions page. However it would not solve all the problems with misconceptions about Sonic. Because sadly, a good chunk of the perpetuated misconceptions about Sonic are not the result of ignorance, but deliberate malice. Some people are, in fact, spreading what they know to be misconceptions about Sonic ON PURPOSE out of spite.

For example, a Sonic Misconceptions page explaining that it isn't and has never been called "Mobius" in the games wouldn't cut down on people calling it "Mobius" and its inhabitants "Mobians." Because the problem is at least half the people calling it "mobius" KNOW that it ISN'T "mobius", but they insist on calling it that anyway because they hate the video games.

"Oh they don't hate the video games just because they prefer the comicsblahblahblah"

yes they do

and I'm tired of giving them the benefit of the doubt

They DON'T actually enjoy the comics at all. They JUST hate the video games.

Know how I know?

Because they are INCAPABLE of saying a SINGLE positive thing about the comics WHATSOEVER without bringing up how shit they think the games are.

If they "just" enjoyed the comics, they shouldn't have to mention the existence of the games AT ALL.

But they don't, and can't, ever JUST say what they like about the comics. They ALWAYS make snide remarks at best against the video games, if not base the entire foundation of their espoused enjoyment for the comics off of asserting how much "better" they are than the games.

So no. They do not call it Mobius because they prefer the comics.

They call it mobius because they HATE the video games.

50% of the people calling it mobius do so BECAUSE they HATE the video games

the other half have heard the lie told 1000 times and assume it to be truth.

A misconceptions page about Sonic wouldn't be an instant fix, because the fact of the matter is the enemies are inside the gates. And frankly, I fear such a page would simply become a editing war waged by people trying to exploit its existence to PERPETUATE misconceptions.

We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing

GOOD NEWS!

The fansub project is official DONE! All 100 episodes! Including UPDATED SUBS for the original 66 episodes with improved translations!!  (*Except the 3D special but I was gonna wait til I got a better quality video…)

So you can either watch em here: https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x7bmum  (apologies if there are ads, I can’t actually control em! I hear Firefox with Ublock origin can block em)

Or download em here!

Softsub MKV: https://mega.nz/folder/ql9CxZrD#Oe4-8NvmOzwmJP8Rt5b50w

EDIT: also on Internet Archive if Mega gives you trouble) https://archive.org/details/operation-hnk-kirby-of-the-stars-subbed-v-2

Hardsub M4V: https://mega.nz/folder/e4UlxaQT#gNrHnDaEeDLVs4ge9Rz4Hw

Or raw vids: https://mega.nz/folder/Lo0TWLyR#23nRRrFd5iCpIRpMATrsKw

Please share this so more people can see! :D  We worked really hard on this so it’d be appreciated!

* Softsub means the subtitles aren’t ‘baked in’. This means higher quality video and you can modify the subtitles if needed. You’ll need a program like VLC or Media Player Classic to view them and they may not work on phones! Hardsubs are ‘baked in’ so you can view em, anywhere, but there is a slight reduction in video quality

I working on other projects atm but I’ll be going back and cleaning this up later bc I love this scene so so much

Would it be a good idea to update the official website with pictures of the colored dinos as opposed to just the pallettes?

Some people have issues telling which dinos are which with the pallettes alone, and unfortunately the only website that shows all pictures is the fandom wiki. (This is bad because fandom targets people with a ridiculous amount of ads...)

We actually don't have any colour palettes at all on our official website- but paleo.gg is a fantastic fan resource!

As for all the colour palettes, an AMAZING community member Skudde in our discord has a full sheet of all the colours on their stash!

What would you say is the rarest possible colored dinosaur to find in-game? (Probably need the spoiler tag for this one, sorry!)

Don't apologise!

answers under the cut!

The rarest dinos as far as our TEAM can see are the Tamablume Theri and the Cherry Blossom Baryonyx! They're both seasonal exclusives & their spawn points have 1 spawn! So they're EXTREMELY rare!

Alright, I was right to initially think there were no female watchdogs on the ship, that's still canon to the story now!

Referring to the comment I made on this post; Peepers has been proven to not be very sexist if at all, but he's not technically in charge. Hater is.

Even if he is the one deciding who gets let in, he still doesn't hire women because of Hater! It's not their fault, he just doesn't want Hater to be anymore distracted

"calm down son its just a drawing" no because I wont stand for this slander

original tweets from Craig

My stupid ass overthinking this because it made no sense to me

This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.

today in "google AI is fucking useless because it hallucinates things that never happened", i bought a couple CVS thermometers that have both been acting up, tried to search if there had been a problem with the whole product line:

there is no record of this product recall. it did not happen. the date "feb 8 2024" is the date someone listed a thermometer for sale on ebay.

If you're comfortable with it: skeletondance with your take on a redeemed Hater!

If you aren't: Captain Tim being lovingly forced into stupid cutesy outfits lmao

A lil' skeletondance never hurt anybody! I'm completely comfortable with 'em, Don't worry! Here ya go!

And for my take on redeemed hatey...I think He'd change his cloak up a bit(mostly replacing the blood drips with hearts), with a big ole' hoodie pocket! (that wander can probably fit in haha) : – ) I dont think his outfit would be much different, Like Jeff (Major Threat), His personality and goals would be the main change ^^

Please go easy on me btw 😭

Decided to join artfight for the first time ever! My profile is very much a WIP but I've got my main template done! Feel free to check it out/attack me when I finish listing my characters!

i made artfight templates for character permissions (cuz i'm a lazy fucus that dislikes typing)

⚠️WARNING:GORE

“You could be my child now”

Updated the first chapter! I've gotten back to working on the third, and again, thank you for your patience!

Howdy! I don't usually do this, but I decided to post the first two chapters of my fic early! Go ahead and check out the full series if you haven't already!

Trying to look back and add/fix some writing for The Coffee because I've gotten better at characterization.

Probably gonna fix the first chapter since it comes off as preachy and I feel like Sylvia would be more worried about Wander leaving the "happy to be single" club over him screwing up a relationship; she KNOWS those two are obsessed with each other. Also gonna dial back on the whole "Wander being downtrodden" to make him worried about the cut contact instead.

Other stuff to note about the series since I'm probably not gonna go back and rewrite old episodes (at least for a while):

- Female Watchdogs have apparently always existed on the ship, so that whole equality segment is trashed

- Hater's backstory changed a bit; the ID number name he had isn't accurate anymore since NASA chimps were named before launch. I'm keeping the whole "remembering being a chimpanzee" thing but I'm going to make it so that it's a lot blurrier for him and he just can't remember/doesn't like his old name.

- Any attempt at a play on words like a "kerson/keyson" in the first chapter is something I hope people completely disregard because it sucks... Sorry!

- Similar apologies for any preachy bullshit, I've gotta get better at the whole "show don't tell" thing

- Any future installment after The Coffee will be posted all at once instead of chapter-by-chapter because I tried that again for this installment and it's been a disaster.

Thank you for being patient with me! I'll try to get writing out as soon as I can, I've just been dealing with some sudden family deaths/depression. I'll post again soon! ;)

I've realized something as of late . . . . Whenever RW artists depict vultures, they almost always neglect to show these weird side bulbs that vultures have in front of their wings? Looking at Joar's concept art, it seems their an attachment point, and the wings protrude out from the back end of them in some way. I feel like I'm the only one who's acknowledged it, have you noticed this too?

That is interesting! I have not drawn vultures, so I didn't take a good look at them yet. I always like looking at these sketches for inspiration on design, though it's also good to remember that Joar's concept sketches aren't the be-all-end-all of creature's "true" designs. In the end, in-game sprites is where everyone is basing from, and there's freedom to re-interpret.

A mouth-watering fuck-ton of hand angle references.

Hi, Can you draw Wander as a giant? I've been imagining him as a giant Nomad cutie.

I love for him to be a Kaiju-sized or Tree-sized helper of the Galaxy.

He would be so cute as a giant in an AU.

I would like him to grow big from some potion or something wacky. He'll be like hundreds of feet tall.

Thanks for liking my Tumblr post.

WOY FANDOM PSA: protect yourself from possible fetish mining

Familiarize yourself with what fetish mining is so you can recognize the warning signs and avoid being exploited by people who do this. If you ever feel uncomfortable with something, trust your gut and know that you're never obligated to go along with anything you don't really want to, especially if anything about it feels "off."

This is stuff everybody should be aware about, but I'm making this PSA specifically for the woy fandom because we've had an ongoing problem with somebody in the fandom who very much appears to be fetish mining. This user is VERY active & outgoing in the fandom and they constantly send people fanart—and try to get people to draw them the same kind of fanart—that has the recurring theme of tentacles/bondage, yandere, & characters sweating/shaking in fear.

This is not to shame people for having weird interests or even fetishes. The issue with behavior like this, if the fixation is a fetish, is leading people into creating or engaging with fetish content without their informed consent, which is exploitative (and can even count as sexual harassment, if not worse.)

---

The user being discussed in this post is wanderfan2000. I am NOT naming her to get her shamed/harassed - if you send any hate and harassment her way, you're an absolute dirtball. I am only naming her because there are serious & credible allegations of inappropriate behavior (suspected fetish mining) on her part, so I want for people to be able to exercise caution around her!

For additional background: wanderfan2000 is known for constantly talking to people about her obsession with The Lonely Planet, and for being fixated with Wander being wrapped up in Planet Janet's vines or in any situation that makes him visibly anxious/terrified (e.g. she also has a thing for depictions of Wander being hunted by the Phantomines from The Heebie Jeebies.) She also goes to people who she knows are underage to ask them to discuss or draw these things for her...

A minor she's interacted with in this way sent me the following messages & screenshots and asked that I share them under the condition that I keep their account name censored for their protection. This person is underage and was still approached by wanderfan2000 to draw what we're afraid was a thinly-veiled request for fetish art. Here are the testimonies I've been asked to share:

(The context behind me getting this ask is that I made a post the other day talking about how scared I was that a certain "somebody" - I was nervous to name her at the time because part of me still wanted to give benefit of the doubt - was an active fetish miner in the fandom. After seeing my post, they came into my inbox to share their experience with wanderfan2000 and the disconcerting interactions they've had with her.)

Their interactions with wanderfan2000:

TW for suspected fetish mining / sexual harassment of a minor in the next screenshot:

I don't have any other screenshots because, quite frankly, I don't have the stomach to hunt down additional evidence, but I've also witnessed wanderfan2000 hitting up fans of all ages to engage in roleplays with her, which, even if she keeps her roleplays on here 100% G-rated, is a huge red flag in and of itself bc she likes to RP stuff about Wander and Janet/yanderes, which are the very things she's suspected of fetish mining for. Either way, it's evident that she doesn't establish boundaries for interacting with underage fans bc she discusses & requests the same things from them that she does with adults, which is not safe.

---

The only person who can know for a fact whether or not wanderfan2000 was fetish mining people for her own gratification is wanderfan2000 herself. (Once again, DO NOT HARASS WANDERFAN2000 OVER THIS.) Sometimes it's easy to figure out whether or not this is going on, and sometimes, due to the nature of it relying entirely on plausible deniability, it can be incredibly hard to tell if someone is fetish mining. I can't speak for her intentions, but I will say that wanderfan2000's art posts and patterns of behavior show major signs of her having a fetish. So on that note, if you feel that wanderfan2000 or anyone else is fetish mining people, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM. DO NOT SEND THEM HATE MAIL OR OTHERWISE HARASS THEM. SIMPLY BLOCK/IGNORE THEM. Warn anyone you think they might be taking advantage of, if need be, and leave it at that. Don't be afraid to block or say no to somebody who's making you feel uncomfortable online - and I don't just mean in these types of contexts. Again, your safety should always come first, and if you ever get a bad feeling about someone or about a situation, you have no obligation to tough it out if your gut is telling you something's wrong! It's always okay to disengage. You ALWAYS have the right to say you're uncomfortable with something.

---

wanderfan2000's response:

Wanderfan2000 made a post in response to the original PSA warning about her behavior, and we talked about what the problem was in the post replies. I didn't get any screenshots of her individual replies to me on there because she kept deleting and rewriting them each time I added a new point, but there is another post, here, where we talked some more in the notes; you can look there for more of her comments. I'm sharing this because I think it's important for people to know that she's acknowledged the allegations, shared her side, and promised to fix her behavior so she doesn't cause people harm. The decision to believe her side of the story and trust that she'll be mindful of others going forward is up to each of you, and the choice to accept her apology is solely up to the people she's hurt.

---

Apologies for how long this post has gotten, but hopefully this can help people inform themselves on how to stay safe from fetish mining and other forms of explotative behavior online. Maybe this can even bring awareness to people who might be engaging in similar behaviors so they can self-reflect and stop themselves from potentially victimizing anybody, too. Remember that being mindful of other people's comfort and consent is ALWAYS important.

Stay safe, everybody.

Trying to find a rain world post showing the initial concept art of vultures on a white background and I can't find it anywhere

They look all loopy and there's cool perspectives and their wings don't look like wings as much as limbs with flesh tendrils attached and I just want to use it as a reference :'(
