Hey, fellas, call me Moon! I'm an artist and very occasional writer, and a oc enjoyer and haver ^^. I'm mainly just here to have fun and goof around. Might be open to rp or drawing requests, so just ask! You can find also me on:
Currently into Kirby, Hollow Knight, TADC, Pokemon, and Splatoon.
if anyone has meta knight stamps please send them my way dividers by @/animatedglittergraphics-n-more
I don’t like knights in the “glorifying a military police force as symbols of power, wealth, and tradition” way. I like knights in the “cult of chivalry and psychological fallout of raising sons to die like their fathers for a king they’ll never meet” way but also in a “swords and armor symbolic of the heaviness and impermanence of manhood” way.
bitch watch out there's a frost troll like 20 steps ahead
what do you think of magolor soul’s true arena desc? makes me think he isn’t truly sorry.
I wanted to save this ask to write something MUCH more comprehensive about this but, um, serious RL stuff (it's positive stuff, no worries. I'm just kinda anxious about it...) popped up during my break so since I'm going to need to duck away for a few days to cool down (and because I'm currently super mega obsessed with True Arena Magolor) I decided to hit this one quickly.
So, in brief, this game has an excellent translation. Forgotten Land quality. I'd say even a little bit above that, since Magolor's writing in the epilogue is so good. (Biased?)
But there is a slight shift of TONE in Magolor Soul's True Arena description, the 2nd phase, where he talks directly to Kirby. (Honestly, this is probably just an issue of spacing. Magolor talks a LOT and you can see this screen is packed with text. Amusingly, spacing was my guess for the loss of a few details from Magolor Soul's pause screen in the original game.)

Here is a quick "alternate" translation from me:
"Kirby, frankly, I found you a pain to deal with. And the way you looked at me with that blank stare even after I betrayed you? It irks me that I keep having to rely on you but... I've had enough. Kirby of the Stars, hurry up and destroy this thing on my head. When you do, I'll come back and... heheheh...I'll tease you plenty!"
Reblog and put the species of the nearest stuffed animal
Would be asleep right now, but there are Fictional Characters to imagine in emotional situations. You know how it is.
He was truly ahead of his time for this
people talk so much about meta knight hiding his emotions but i need meta knight being expressive every once in a while. he should do a little "teehee" to himself in private when he's happy. let the old man do a little giggle <3
EXACTLYYYY EXACTLYY I’m happy that he’s more expressive in the games. Also in the anime with the mood ring eyes and his laugh
Girls will be like "awww my skrunkly, my blorbo, my little meow meow" and then draw that poor guy in a reenactment of a biblical scene

hate it when I call myself a girl and then someone goes "you're not a girl you're nonbinary/agender" and it's like. I am whatever I say I am. freak. I am a girl I am a little guy I am the man of the owl. I am nothing. I am everything. do not presume to know me in anyway I do not know myself
Scrap has a curious relationship with speech.
At first, it couldn’t make any noise. Nothing that wasn’t its body rattling or its wooden frame freaking. Vocalizations simply didn’t exist for it, and it never crossed its mind because there wasn’t a need.
Then it joined a party. It needed one, because humanoids understood so much more than it did and could pass obstacles it couldn’t. They made noise. LOTS of noise. Breathing, heartbeats, footsteps, popping, cracking, shouting, squelching, gurgling, so much noise.
Scrap doesn’t understand the concept of communication. It’s a scarecrow. It doesn’t understand why humanoids are capable of so much. So Scrap, as it’s learning how to make vocal sounds, takes these not as coincidence, but as correlation.
So this living scarecrow finally learns it can make sounds. Not from its body, but from its mouth. Like a humanoid. After months of practicing and mimicking it can recreate sounds. And now it won’t. Shut. Up. Breathing, hissing, growling, creaking. A horse’s neigh, a crow’s caw, gutting, squelching, thudding, no sound was safe. The sound wouldn’t make sense. The party would just have to sit and listen to Scrap repeatedly mimicking the sound of a heartbeat for hours on end. Of course, Scrap isn’t doing this because it’s excited. It’s doing this because it’s practical. Because THIS was what separated it. Now how it used the sounds, but the ability to just make them.
Eventually the team gets sick of it and start teaching it words to properly communicate. It works, but in more intense moments it regresses back to pure mimicry and animalistic noises out of habit. Also its idea of words and the Common language are incredibly different from what they actually are since it has no understanding of morales and society
Help = alert (because it would just take surprise attacks from enemies and not say anything)
Hello = first thing to say
Goodbye = last thing to say
Sorry = weird one, use sparingly when given certain stares
Waste = hurry up hurry up
Go = move
Detour = stopping. bad
