I Had To Relearn How To Draw This Oc Since I Havent Drawn Him In So Long Just To Make This Picture

the following text is work-in-progress lore stuff i wrote down recently and have copied from where i put it down! i mainly wrote it to tie up some loose ends in my kirby au.

Emotion: A Blessing, Power, and Weapon

Emotion is a fundamental fact of life no matter which way you look at it. It's part of who we are.

On Popstar, other planets, and all of the branching timelines, emotion is so much more: Strong emotion can make or break battles or, in rare cases, influence fate itself.

Not everyone can weaponize their own emotions, much less consciously, and the effectiveness of the power of one's emotions is very inconsistent across individuals. However, a general pattern is that more positive influences on emotions tend to increase the effectiveness of other powers drawn out through such. This isn't always the case, as certain individuals may draw power based on only intensity or may become stronger under negative influences, but it applies to most, especially to those able to do so on Popstar.

Sometimes this manifests as a copycat mutation, as it did with Wakana, whose love for Nova grew so intense that it awoke a new power within her: Nova's Light. Other times it will influence how variants of someone will behave, as all variants of Wakana and Nova love each other in some way. (It's also a major factor on how Parallel Wakana survived her purification process. She should absolutely be dead.)

There's a couple of rules to make this work.

1. You have to completely and genuinely feel the emotions you get powered up by. I'm not sure how to explain it with words, but an example would be like... if Wakana said "i love you" to someone out of fear, that would not trigger her copycat mutation, even if she does feel the love to some extent. It has to be pure, fiery, unbridled emotion that makes all this happen. (There ARE exceptions, like if you're feeling angry at some jerk because they hurt someone you love.) Oftentimes this means more stoic or less expressive individuals can't make use of this quirk. This also means you can't force it to happen at all.

2. Robots with an Energy Core powering them cannot make use of this - only robots that utilize a Soul, even if it's artificial like Nova's. It's unclear why the more cost-effective robots can't do it, but (in-universe) many who are aware of this entire thing have likened it to how bad jobs that prioritize money no matter what will make you resent what you work with, even if you liked it before.

WEEKLY QUESTION TIME WOOOO

Asking about your two main ladies >:D

1. Does Wakana have a favorite childhood dish, if so what is it?

2. Whats Nova's favorite unconvientual looking animal (like animals that majority of people find ugly)

Wakana's favorite childhood dish… ooh, I've actually never thought about this. I think she'd have a very strong nostalgia for Rektun's homemade pies, particularly those of pumpkin, blueberry, or strawberry flavor. (Rektun had to learn to cook well because of Elise's abnormally long disappearance, so he's actually quite a good chef all things considered!)

If by "unconventional animals" we're talking about animals we'd find here on earth, I think her favorite would probably be the star-nosed mole. (idk tbh i had to look up a list myself LOL) However, if we're talking about in-universe animals… I wouldn't have an answer because I don't really have non-sentient animals developed yet outside of a few examples.

Just fishing

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!

(Mariah carry its time sfx here)

Does Arcline's beetle like headgear also work as a lightning rod or it can only shoot out electricity ?

How long are the bones spikes able to be on Tick? Are they able to be broken off too?

I'd imagine it'd function quite well as a lightning rod, especially when Arcline is running low on electricity.

The bone-spikes on Tick can theoretically grow indefinitely, but past a certain point they're too cumbersome for him to have on him. He regularly breaks them off for combat usage, partly because he doesn't want them to be so heavy on him.

silly doodle i made with @starflungwaddledee's adorable OC, Starstruck Dee, after learning that individuals that can sense magic signatures get really uncomfortable around Starstruck Dee, and since Nova is a nurse bot who can detect these, she immediately gets really concerned about whatever happened to her LOL

bonus followup: Nova, in her confusion, tells Starstruck Dee that she's taking her to the hospital and then panics harder because "OH NO WHY DID I SAY THAT?! THAT SOUNDED SO MUCH BETTER IN MY HEAD I'M SO SORRY!!" and someone looking on would just be like "who hurt you?" lmfao

A Kirby OC Ask Game!

Thought I’d make one of these for people to reblog and send each other asks about their OCs. You can send a number or an emoji, I’ve included both for all of the asks here so people can send whatever is easier for them.
