The Night Before Christmas

HYPING UP THE SQUAAAAAD

Today’s propaganda attack is extra special!

SURPRISE PROPAGANDA ATTACK!

I want to cheer on as many people as possible! Since I’ve already done posts for these four in previous rounds, I’ve decided to do one for all of them together! All of them are my friends, so please vote for them!

- Rifty is kind and fun to be around! They’re also purple, which is the best colour. They went out of their way to pose for me to help me draw their horns last time I drew them, and I think that’s really nice of them! I still need to do something for them to repay the favour. This post doesn’t count!

- Peony is smarter than most adults I’ve met, and she’s even younger than my little sister! She has really cool soul magic powers, and even though she’s much smarter than me, she isn’t ever mean to me about it. In fact, she’s a real sweetheart! And her parents are really nice too!

- When I first met Noir, I thought he seemed really cool and I wanted to be friends with him. But now that I am friends with him, I can see that in fact… he is really cool! He’s nice to kids and I respect that a lot! He also once offered to scare away anyone who bullied me. I’d do the same for him!

- Mr Mapobas is a royal mage! He’s very important! And yet he’s been really nice to me and offered me lots of advice, even though I’m just some random noddy who does magic tricks for a living. He’s one of my favourite people to talk to. And he’s super fashionable! And he has cool hair!

Vote for Rifty!

Vote for Peony!

Vote for Noir!

Vote for Mapobas!

Rifty belongs to @dizzy-dudd , Peony belongs to @giantchasm , Noir belongs to @desultory-novice and Mapobas belongs to @sacrificecage

My big entrance into the world of tumblr! Can’t wait to share my creations with all of you!

Kirby and the Purple Butterfly Chapter 1

It was a cold and breezy afternoon in Dream Land. Winter had just begun, and the snow was already starting to fall. Kirby loves the winter, where the ground becomes as soft as the cotton candy clouds in the sky, and the stores in the Waddle Dee Village begin to sell more sweets for the holidays.

Kirby wanted to celebrate the start of the season by having a picnic with his best friends, so he gathered all of his supplies into a basket, wrapped his cute little scarf around himself, and rushed over to Castle Dedede. When arriving in the castle halls, Kirby bumped into Bandana Waddle Dee, one of Dedede’s loyal servants.

“Bandana! Do you know where Dedede is? I’m inviting the both of you and Sir Meta Knight over to a friend picnic! I want to celebrate the start of winter together with you guys!” exclaimed an excited Kirby.

“Aww, that’s really sweet, Kirby, but I don’t think his majesty is available at the moment. He’s currently in his throne room trying to think of a plan to make sure Dream Land is-”

Kirby interrupted them, not hearing the other half of what Bandana Dee was saying.

“He is in the throne room right now? Okay, I’ll just go ask him myself!” He went to the doors, too excited to reconsider.

“K-Kirby! Wait! You didn’t let me finish!” Bandana Dee pleaded.

Kirby burst through the throne room doors and was greeted by a distressed Dedede sitting at his desk almost buried in papers.

“Dedede! How are you doing today?” shouted Kirby.

“K-Kirby?! What’re you doin’ here? Don’t ’cha know I’m busy right now?!” screamed the king in return.

Kirby hopped up onto Dedede’s desk.

“But isn’t today the perfect day for a picnic? Surely you have time to hang out with lil’ ol’ me?!” she asked, with starry excitement in her eyes.

Dedede picked Kirby up and carefully placed him back down next to Bandana Waddle Dee and returned to his desk.

“Look Kirby, I’d love to play with you right now, but Dream Land can’t defend itself without me! It is my duty as king to make sure that you and all the other dreamlanders are all safe and happy, and I plan to keep that promise from now on. Please understand, and leave me alone!” exclaimed the king.

Kirby and Bandana Dee left quickly afterwards. Dedede grumbled to themselves, “I wish I knew how to read Meta Knight’s blasted handwriting…”

”Wow Kirby!” said Bandana Dee. “That’s the nicest his majesty has treated anyone today. He must really like you a lot!” they teased.

“Yeah!” replied a nervous Kirby. ‘Dedede must be really busy this time. He doesn’t normally act like that!’ he thought to himself before asking Bandana another question. “Where’s Meta Knight? I’d still like to invite both him and you!”

“He should still be at the Halberd nearby!” replied the Waddle Dee. “I can take you there right now!” 

Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee then headed over to Meta Knight’s airship, ‘The Halberd’, which was parked outside the Castle near the hangar. When he was inside, he saw Meta Knight and his crew training with a couple of village residents.

“Oh Meta Knight!” exclaimed Kirby.

This startled the knight and nearly made him fall over. Luckily, he still had a sword to support himself.

“Kirby!” Meta Knight exclaimed. “You cannot just go around surprising people like that, I could’ve gotten hurt! Just please be patient and wait for me until I can speak with you.” the knight explained. Kirby apologized and patiently waited for Meta, while Bandana Waddle Dee silently watched through the window.

After a couple of minutes, Meta was ready to speak with Kirby.

“What was it that you needed me for now?” he asked.

Kirby then took a small handful of confetti from the basket and threw it up into the air.

“I wanted to invite you for a picnic to start off the winter! Dedede said he was busy, but surely you can still come, right?” Kirby asked.

The knight shook his head.

“My apologies, Kirby, but I promised a few of the villagers that I would teach them how to sword fight today, and their training has yet to be completed, so I’m afraid I cannot come, ‘tis rather unfortunate.” he said while discreetly eyeing a bar of chocolate he saw slightly sticking out of Kirby’s basket.

“Oh, ok.” Kirby nodded silently and left the scene.

On his way out, Kirby looked to Bandana Waddle Dee. “Well, surely you can still come, right Bandana?” he asked with hope still in his eyes.

The Waddle Dee unfortunately shook their head.

“I’m sorry Kirby, I still have my own business to attend to! Apple juice won’t make itself! I hope you enjoy your picnic though!” they quickly explained before heading off.

‘Even Bandana Waddle Dee is busy today! What is happening?’

Kirby looked all over Pop Star and even beyond, but no matter where he went, all his friends were busy with their own important duties. At that point, all the food in Kirby’s basket became too cold, so in defeat, Kirby returned to Planet Pop Star, feeling empty-handed.

By the time Kirby had returned to Dream Land, it was nighttime, and the cold winter winds were at their strongest. Whilst trekking through the heavy snow, Kirby spotted something in the distance. Over a field of flowers, that Kirby had never seen before, opened an inter-dimensional rift shaped like a four-pointed star, differing from the usual five-pointed ones. Out from it came another one of Kirby’s species. They were similar to Kirby in shape and size, though only slightly smaller, with their only distinctive features being their lavender hue and their small turquoise horns. Before the rift closed, a luminescent butterfly came from it and landed on the starborn’s face shortly after. Kirby cautiously approached the newcomer and lightly tapped them, but there was no response to be found, they were unconscious.

‘Poor thing!’ Kirby thought to themselves. ‘If they were out here any longer, they could freeze!’

Not wishing that upon them, Kirby quickly grabbed the picnic blanket from his basket and wrapped it around the other astral, scooping them up and bringing them inside of his house. He carefully put them on his soft couch and wrapped them in a fluffier and cozier blanket, lighting the fireplace to make sure they were as warm as possible. Kirby then thought of other ways to make sure their new houseguest could be kept nice and warm, and decided to start making some hot chocolate in the kitchen.

A few hours had passed by since Kirby had taken in his new guest, who slept pretty soundly while Kirby was making their cocoa. When Kirby started putting the finishing touches, his new guest quickly woke up in a cold sweat, which startled Kirby a little.

“Oh, you’re finally awake! You looked cold, so I made hot chocolate! This’ll help warm you up for sure!” said Kirby, while grabbing the tray with two mugs of cocoa on it.

The guest looked around the room in a panic, frantically asking questions.

“W-Who are you? Where am I?” they asked in a panic.

Kirby did her best to calm them down.

“Woah woah woah! Let’s calm down here. I’ll start off simple. I’m Kirby and you’re in my house! I found you outside in the cold and took you in so you wouldn’t freeze!” she explained. “Now enough about me, who are you?” she then asked.

The other starborn paused, struggling to form an answer before mumbling “I don’t know…”.

Kirby was shocked by this. “You don’t remember who you are? Not even your name?! That’s horrible!” they exclaimed, to which the other starborn simply shook their head.

Kirby took a moment to think about what she could do to help.

‘I can’t possibly imagine how that must feel, not knowing who you are’ he thought to himself, before an idea popped into his head.

“Well, I’ll just give you a name then! How does that sound?” he proudly stated.

“That could work,” nodded the other starborn.

“Let’s try something simple then! You look like me, and you came out of an interdimensional rift, so how does ‘Rifty’ sound?” they explained.

It took the other starborn a second to think it over, before smiling softly.

“Rifty…I’d like that!” they said cheerily.

Kirby was very happy to know that their choice was appreciated.

“Yay! I knew you’d like it!” She said with joy as they handed Rifty a mug of cocoa.

“Welcome to Dream Land, Rifty”

SURPRISE PROPAGANDA ATTACK!

…Okay, this one isn’t a surprise really. Rifty posed for my drawing earlier to help me figure out how to draw their horns, so they knew this was coming! Still, here’s some reasons to vote for Rifty!

- Their name comes from them falling out of a rift. I think that’s a pretty interesting origin story!

- They’re good friends with Kirby! So if you vote for them, you’ll make Kirby happy!

- They’re purple! Everyone knows purple is the best colour. Short purple kids gotta stick together!

- Don’t you think their horn clip’s cool? I do!

Vote Rifty!

Happy Birthday Rifty! 🦋

On this day, 1 year ago, a glimmering star was born during a winter breeze, and now it’s time to celebrate!

Kirby and the Purple Butterfly Chapter 2

It had been a few days since Rifty arrived in Dream Land on that fateful night, snow had coated the planet of Pop Star like a nice soft and delicious layer of frosting on a cake. It was very chilly that day, but of course, nothing can stop Kirby. He was getting Rifty ready for the day by bundling them up in a nice and fluffy winter coat with fur along its edges and some cute looking earmuffs. Rifty was quite startled by this, as they hadn’t realized what was happening until Kirby started preparing them! 

“Ehhhh??? Kirby what are you doing?” they asked while squirming around, attempting to get out of the fluffy yet restrictive coat. 

“Hold still!” shouted Kirby. “It is very cold out today! And I wouldn’t want you catching a fever out there!”

Rifty was confused by this. “But why would I need to wear all of this? Is something happening today?” they asked curiously.

Kirby nodded with excitement. “Yes! Today I will be taking you to see my best friends! I think you would love to meet them!” he explained.

This news had startled Rifty a little. “T-Today?! Are you sure? I don’t know if I’m ready to meet them yet!” they exclaimed with worry.

“I’m sure you will be fine, my friends are quite nice! I’m sure they would be excited to meet you!” Kirby said with reassurance as he wrapped his scarf around himself, to which Rifty was a little humored by. Kirby made them wear all of this getup yet he only wore a scarf!

The little purple puffball laughed a little to herself. “Ok, but are you sure I have to wear all of this on the way there? I think I’ll be okay on my own.”

“I just don’t want you to freeze out there!” Kirby explained. “You looked like you were about to when I found you out there in the snow!”

“Ok, I think I see your point. If you need me to wear this, then I will happily do it for you!” Rifty responded with a cheery smile on their face. Kirby happily returned the favor with their own smile as they continued to bundle up their friend before setting off to Castle Dedede.

Kirby quickly took Rifty across almost all of Dream Land to get to Castle Dedede, which is located somewhere near one of Pop Star’s mountain ranges.

Rifty was a little worried about where they were going, feeling intimidated by the tall castle. “Uhh, Kirby, where exactly are you taking me to see your friends?” they asked nervously.

”Oh, I’m taking you to Castle Dedede to meet the king of Dream Land!” Kirby explained casually. Rifty then quickly skidded to a halt. “Eh!? The king of Dream Land? Meeting me?! B-but, I…” Rifty was quite startled by this, they had only been in Dream Land for a few days and they were about to meet the king! What an honor that was!

“Of course!” Kirby replied. “King Dedede has been my friend for years! I’m sure he’ll be glad to meet you!”

”Ooh, I better make a good first impression.” Rifty said nervously to themselves.

Kirby and Rifty entered the big castle, being greeted by some Waddle Dees, who helped Kirby and Rifty take off their winter clothing to put somewhere safe. Some of the Waddle Dees looked at Rifty with curiosity. It’s not often that another one of Kirby’s species comes to visit.

The Waddle Dees led Kirby and Rifty over to the throne room, to which they saw Dedede sitting in his throne. Luckily, he was not surrounded by papers like he was a few days ago. Today, he was happily sitting in his chair reading a book about what it takes to be a good and noble king.

“Rifty quick! Hide behind me!” Kirby whispered with a mischievous plan in mind.

“O-okay.” Rifty said as they quietly shuffled behind Kirby.

Dedede looked up from his book. 

“Kirby! What brings you here today? Are you still gonna be doing that picnic?” asked the great king.

“Even better! I have something special to show you!” exclaimed Kirby. “Look!” He went off to the side to present Rifty to Dedede.

“GAH! TWO KIRBIES?! Did you just multiply?!”

Dedede was shocked! Just before him were now two little puffballs! As much as he loved Kirby, there was no way that he would be able to handle two of them now!

“Eek!” Rifty quickly hopped back to behind Kirby, startled by Dedede’s surprised reaction.

“Dedede! Don’t be scared! This is my new friend Rifty! I met him a few days ago and wanted them to meet you!”

Kirby then looked behind them to see Rifty shivering and quaking in their figurative boots.

Dedede opened his eyes again, getting a much better look at Rifty. He hopped out of his throne and walked over to the two of them.

“Y-Your majesty! M-my name is Rifty! I’m very fortunate to meet you!” Rifty said while bowing and saluting King Dedede in a quick sweat.

Dedede then shot his signature grin at Rifty, his ego inflating quite a bit.

“Heh heh heh! Get a load of this little dude!” He roared as he graciously shook Rifty’s hand with his big mitten hands. “The name’s Dedede, the name you should know! It’s a pleasure meetin’ ya Rifty!” Dedede gave Rifty a nice couple of pats on the head, he found the little one quite endearing. “C’mon Kirby why can’t you be as respectful to your king as ol’ Rifty is ‘ere?” teased Dedede. “Your little friend is such a cutie he is!”

Rifty was quite surprised by this sudden approval, to think the king of the land was able to warm up to them so easily! They were almost as pink as Kirby was in the moment, giggling to themselves.

Kirby just shook his head, of course Dedede would like Rifty, especially if Rifty treated him with such a level of respect.

Later on, Kirby was leading Rifty over to the Halberd.

Rifty was so energetic! “I can’t believe I got to meet and befriend the king! He was so nice to me!” they exclaimed cheerfully as they leaped up and down behind Kirby.

Kirby was very happy that Dedede was able to get along with Rifty so well, but he was very curious to see how Meta Knight and Rifty would get along.

“Where are we going next, Kirby?”

“We’re about to meet Sir Meta Knight! He’s one of Dedede’s most trusted companions and another one of my close friends!”

‘Wow! Kirby is friends with a lot of important people!’ Rifty thought to themselves as Kirby brought them to the entrance of the Halberd’s Hangar.

Meta Knight was overseeing the maintenance of his ship, it was imperative that it was checked over before the extremely chilling winter days came forth to ensure excellent performance.

“Hiya Meta Knight!” Kirby yelled.

Meta Knight swooped down from his perch using his bat wings to meet up with Kirby.

“Greetings Kirby, did you need me for something?”

“Yes! I wanted you to meet a new friend I made recently!”

“Oh, a new friend?”

“Yup! I want you to meet Rifty!”

Kirby moved over to the side again to present Rifty to Meta Knight.

“Hi!” said Rifty, who seemed to be very intrigued by Meta Knight.

“Eh!? Two Kirbies?! I can’t handle that many!”

Meta Knight was even more surprised than Dedede at the sight of Rifty! He had many questions to ask, was this what became of the star he had seen a few nights ago?

‘Do Kirby and I really look that similar?’ Rifty asked themselves.

Meta Knight landed onto the floor and wrapped his cape around himself, observing the astral before him very carefully.

“Hmm, interesting…very interesting, where did you come from, young one?”

“I don’t know really, I just know that Kirby said he found me lying down in a snowy flower field and brought me to his home, I can’t really remember anything else.”

“I see, very interesting indeed.”

“Meta Knight, what are you doing?” asked a puzzled Kirby.

“Observing, it is not often another one of our kind is present, I must take this opportunity by the reigns! Now, may I ask you a question, young one?”

“Uh, yes, sir?”

“What do you know about the art of the blade?”

“Meta Knight! You can’t just ask people if they know how to use a sword!” Kirby shouted.

“Why not? I am simply just curious. Besides, you know how to wield a blade quite well yourself do you not?”

“But that’s only if I have a copy ability!”

“Well then let’s see how Rifty can handle one!” Meta Knight says as he tosses a wooden sword to Rifty.

“Gah!” Rifty stuttered as they stumbled to catch the blade.

“Now, wail onto this target!” Meta Knight exclaimed as he pulled over a sandbag dummy of a Waddle Dee.

Rifty swiped wildly at the sandbag in front of them, leaving a couple of scratches in the dummy.

”Very fascinating,” inquired Meta Knight, before setting up three more sandbags around Rifty.

Rifty proved to be able to handle a blade pretty well for his first try, being capable of dealing with what Meta Knight put in front of them.

“Bravo bravo!” Meta Knight cheered with applause. “I see you are very capable of handling a blade, young squire.”

“Y-yes! I did my best!” Rifty said as they raised the wooden sword into the air triumphantly.

After finishing their conversation with Meta Knight, Kirby and Rifty were heading through the castle halls on their way home. On the way, they ended up bumping into Bandana Waddle Dee and Sailor Waddle Dee, one of Meta Knight’s crew members.

“Oof! Sorry Kirby!” said Bandana Dee. “We were just on our way to get more apple juice for the stand!”

“I guess we didn’t see where we were going!” remarked Sailor Dee nervously.

Kirby then quickly whispered something to Rifty.

“What have you been up to, Kirby?”

“Oh nothing much! Just showing a new friend around!”

Kirby and Rifty then stood next to each other, mimicking the other’s pose!

“Woah! Two Kirbies?! Am I seeing double?”

“Eek! Did he just multiply?”

Kirby laughed. “We got you guys! This is my new friend Rifty! I’ve been showing him around the castle today. Rifty, this is Bandana Waddle Dee and Sailor Waddle Dee!”

“Hiii! It’s very nice to meet you two!”

The two Waddle Dees greeted Rifty.

“Would you like some apple juice?” asked Bandana Waddle Dee. “It’s freshly made!” He offered a pouch to Kirby and Rifty.

“Ooh yes!” Kirby replied with excitement!

Kirby and Rifty were now out of the castle, on their way home.

“So? What did you think?” Kirby asked.

“Huh? Think about what?”

“My friends! Did you enjoy meeting them?”

Rifty took a moment to collect their thoughts.

“Yes, your friends are very nice. I liked meeting the king the most. The Waddle Dees were nice too, but I don’t know how to feel about the knight, why did he want me to use a sword?”

“That’s just how Meta Knight behaves when meeting new people, he loves to test people’s skills! That’s how we met after all!”

“Oh? How did you meet all of your friends?”

“Well, it all started one day during a spring breeze…”

As Kirby began to recall all of their various adventures, Rifty listened with interest as the two walked home while the sun began to set.

‘I think I’m gonna like it here.’ Rifty thought to themselves.
