hopefully the full thing is "DEATH TOLL IS 0 THANKS TO KIRBY'S VALIANT EFFORTS"?

so many nice little things!

1. hope waddle dee and kirby are having fun!
2. a very appropriate expression from kirby towards kawasaki's cooking!
3. cake! fork (presumably not the type that shrinks you down and makes you fall onto the cake)! (knife!) cute lil bib for kirby!
4. ducky!
5. elfilin cameo!! unfortunately bandee doesn't seem to be there
6. that bed seems kinda... well actually it's probably the right size for kirby, it's just a lot smaller than many other depictions of kirby's bed. also that blanket is not doing its job very well (unless only kirby's right foot happens to be cold at the moment)

pepis

it's like bepis and pipis had a baby
a beautiful beautiful baby

i don't remember when exactly i got into undertale -- i'm fairly certain it was before deltarune chapter 1 released. i actually haven't played undertale itself, but i have played the first two chapters of deltarune. lots of cool stuff from both the games themselves and the fandom surrounding the games! i'm not that active anymore when it comes to this fandom (mostly been focusing on kirby for the past while, trying to contribute a lot to c/kirby in a way that i'm sadly much less equipped to do with this community), but toby's stuff has been a pretty not-insignificant part of my life

he released a new installment of the newsletter, too!

There was an interesting guy called "Beat Mario". His young kid was there running around yelling stuff like "I wanna go home!" "I wanna go home!" Soon after meeting him for the first time, Beat Mario picked up his kid and pushed them into me, trying to get me to hold them, but I just sort of backed up repeatedly. His wife asked me if I was afraid of children, and I accidentally agreed because I misunderstood her Japanese and thought she asked if I was bad at holding kids. Then she picked up the child and started spinning them around and making them do flips and said "it's easy, once they aren't babies you can basically do whatever you want as long as you don't drop them." It was cool, it was essentially like a free circus performance. "Sorry, I know you're afraid of children..." Wait, I'm not! But it was too late to correct myself, so they probably still think that.

also what's up with the lost girl leitmotif in that sneaking song

now i'm imagining toriel/asriel throwing pizzas at kris, noelle, and ralsei

and susie just catches them in her mouth and eats them all

why's kirby so shocked? he himself just bit into a cookie without teeth!

lol imagine eating buttercups

this post was made by the moss eater gang 😎

may c/kirby have a wanyaful waddle wednesday!

(beam) attacking the infrastructure

oh, this didn't get federated over to the main lemmy.world version of the community! :(

i'm 24 days late, but the thread is at the top of active for lemmy.world/c/undertale_deltarune now because i brought it over, so:

hopes and dreams, save the world, and undertale are all incredibly strong contenders for me. the use of leitmotifs! the key changes in hopes and dreams and undertale! the feeling of warmth and hope when once upon a time section C plays for the first time in save the world (ironically not hopes and dreams)! and of course, the emotion they all bring in context! toby fox absolutely nailed the music for the keyest moments in the game.

oh, and also shout out to a song that's genuinely pretty nice to listen to: can you really call this a hotel, i didn't receive a mint on my pillow or anything

not the weekend anymore, but this is the most recent "what are you reading?" post i can find, so:

just read Kirby: On The Flipside! for the first time recently -- it's a long, well-executed anime/game crossover with an ongoing sequel. also reread the entirety of Guessing Games (a kirby chatfic where kirby has to guess the identities of previous villains in the chat)... either last night or the night before, i don't remember.

[another repost of something that didn't federate last time i tried to post it.]

what about fandom-specific aus? undertale/deltarune is well-known for those. i would like to highlight inverted fate in particular -- very high production quality, great and nuanced characterization, and plenty of awesome and emotional moments.

[another attempt 2]

preference for 3rd person, slight preference for past tense. i prefer a bit of a larger separation between our world and the world the fic takes place in.

[attempt 2, hopefully federates properly]

some random explanation of what 4th person is for those who don’t want to google it

i don’t think i’ve seen any longform fics written primarily in 4th person – sounds like that would make for an interesting writing challenge.

testing from lemm.ee: post visible on kbin?

edit: wonderful! i'll probably be using this account for stuff, then. lemmy repost a few of my comments that didn't make it across my first time around...

the squeak squad portion sounds quite intense in my opinion! wonder how the medley would sound if it included more recent games

...Huh. Between here, lemmy.world, and kbin.social, I've only seen lemm.ee -> kbin.social federation shenanigans these past few days after the lemmy.world server issues resolved. This stuff is strange.

Interesting, thanks for the info.
