Oh hey wait it looks like you can still edit answered ask posts on desktop once they're in the queue, just not in the app

And I do already have a Dedede ask queued for next month

In that case...

(If I do switch them, the Magolor ask will be posted next week (May 4th))

So, I finished the Magolor Epilogue yesterday! Thoughts Time, and also time for some notes on how I'm gonna work it into this blog's continuity, given its ending.

I won't be tagging this post with any spoiler tags, but I will throw the rest of this under a cut in case anyone else was late to the game like I was! ...And also because it's Long dgdgshs

First off, the mode itself was excellent! It might be my favourite of the "play as someone other than Kirby" modes now. I like the whole collection aspect and upgrading Magolor's abilities a lot (along with all the little things he has to say about it—Magolor likes puns confirmed! Which makes sense. Yet another way to harmlessly annoy his friends lmao), and I definitely strongly prefer the combo mechanic as a way of determining score over the time attacks that Metaknightmare, Dededetour, and such have. ...And I do also just adore Magolor and playing as him dhdhshf (though I love Meta Knight too!)

Getting Platinum ranks on Electricky Dooter and Hydriath was absolute hell though. I have no idea why those two bosses specifically took so many damn tries, but they did.

As for plot stuff, it's cute that they tied stuff in with the Kirby Clash games and offered a bit more of a backstory behind the Gem Apples. And also given the newly added conversation that you get from collecting all 120 Energy Spheres in Extra Mode, it's nice to see him follow through on what he told Kirby and actually set up a shop (even if in doing so he becomes more evil than he ever was before by forcing Microtransactions upon us). I also loved getting to see the origin/creation of Magolor's Ultra Sword attack from Star Allies in the battle against the Master Crown!

But! The ending also causes some slight issues for this blog's continuity, given that here, Magolor is chilling at Dedede's Castle with everyone else. And obviously, I'm not gonna change that.

I've got multiple ideas on how I could adjust things to make everything work! I haven't decided on which one to go with yet.

My initial thought was to create a timeline split. Instead of going to the Kirby Clash universe, this blog's Magolor was sent to somewhere in the main series' timeline (along with the Gem Apple still, of course). Halcandra was my first idea, since that would work best with my original plans for him that I think I've mentioned in an old ask (Magolor talks to Landia, who tells him a bit of what they know about the Master Crown. They also banish him from Halcandra for his crimes, but allow him to take the Lor with him as long as it agrees to it (which it does!)). And then from there, Magolor warps to Dream Land using the Lor Starcutter.

I could see the Epilogue's extra level being a pathway back to Dream Land/Planet Popstar, given the presence of Waddle Dees and (more importantly, since maybe there were Waddle Dees in the other Epilogue levels that I've forgotten about) the fact that Magolor is going through a lot of the Another Dimension Sphere Doomer sections from the Story Mode, which are connected to Popstar and Halcandra. So I could see that being the way Magolor gets back home. Maybe he decided to stick around in Another Dimension for a little while longer instead of taking the portal into the Clash universe? So he could gather more magic energy and fully restore his powers before leaving (so that, say, he's not permanently stuck without infinite flight). And eventually he discovers the extra stage, which takes him back to Popstar. He never does learn what was on the other side of that portal that appeared after he destroyed the Master Crown, and sure, he wonders about it from time to time, but ultimately, he's with his friends now and right where he wants to be.

The problem with Magolor being transported directly to Popstar, though, is that he wouldn't have the Lor with him anymore. ...Well, technically he would get it back once Merry Magoland happens (since I'm treating that as part of the continuity for this blog rather than an alternate universe), when it shows up at the amusement park like «HELLO MAGOLOR. COOL PLACE YOU HAVE GOT HERE.» dgdgdshf. But I have Merry Magoland set as the latest thing happening in this blog's timeline, taking place sometime after Forgotten Land, so Magolor and the Lor would have only recently reunited.

But I guess, given that the extra stage has the Another Dimension Sphere Doomer Story Mode sections (I Do Not Know What To Call Them, I'm sorry dhdhshf) from both Popstar and Halcandra, it might be fine to just say he followed the pathway and the portal at the end took him to Halcandra instead! And then once again, he got the Lor back from Landia since it was willing to accompany him, and then they went back to Popstar so Magolor could make up for what he did to Kirby and the gang (and also because he was exiled from Halcandra).

The other option would be to say that Magolor did go to the Kirby Clash universe, but eventually made it back to Dream Land later on. Since I mean, it's now canon that Magolor goes to Kirby Clash after Return to Dream Land, but there's also the already established canon that Magolor makes it back to Popstar since he's playable in Star Allies. So either there's a timeline split, or Magolor leaves the Kirby Clash universe sometime after its story is complete (...which. I've never finished either of the Kirby Clash games actually dhdhshf).

Magolor does mention that he could potentially warp to other worlds if he upgraded his Dimensional Vanish beyond the in-game maximum, and while that could certainly be exaggeration on his part, that could also be the way he gets home? He managed to further power up his warping abilities during his time in the Kirby Clash universe, and once he's no longer needed there, he decides to use those new powers to go find Popstar (and Halcandra?), which he succeeds in doing in time for Star Allies to take place.

Or alternatively, maybe Kirby summoned him home in Star Allies? If the Dream Rod is able to reach Dark Meta Knight from within the Mirror World and Ribbon from over on Ripple Star, then why not grab Magolor from the Kirby Clash universe too? Plus, I do have to admit, that would make for a pretty cute reunion scene, because Kirby wanted Magolor back and specifically tried to summon him, even after all of the horrible stuff he did.

I dunno! I'm sort of leaning toward the first idea (this blog's Magolor never goes to the Kirby Clash universe at all, spending longer in Another Dimension until he eventually goes through the extra postgame stage, which leads him to a portal to Halcandra), but I still haven't fully decided. Going with the second option (Magolor still gets transported to the Clash universe, but eventually gets summoned back to the main series' universe by Kirby in Star Allies) would mean that he isn't present for the events of Triple Deluxe or Planet Robobot, but I guess that isn't necessarily a bad thing? It'd mean I wouldn't have to decide what he was doing during those times and why he wasn't helping Kirby, since he'd be busy in the Kirby Clash universe. ...But at the same time, for Robobot specifically, I think it'd be funny for Magolor to be there and be torn between going "ooooooh cool tech 👀" and "hey can you guys maybe not destroy Popstar please" dhdgdfhshdhfs

Meta Knight, has anyone adopted Kirby yet?

Meta Knight: I suppose I have adopted him, though it wasn't my intention to do so.

Meta Knight: He doesn't appear to have any actual parents, so Kirby views me as his father. I believe he sees Dedede as one as well.

Meta Knight: I... I suppose I do not mind being considered as such.

((I feel like this ask already kinda answers this, so I'm just gonna leave it here: https://askthekirbysquad.tumblr.com/post/187318527103/meta-do-you-see-kirby-as-your-son-and-does-kirby ))

((On that note this means that this blog is officially open for asks regarding the events of Kirby and the Forgotten Land! Technically it was supposed to be open for at least the main story a while ago but I uh. Kinda forgot to say anything about it dhdhsh

If you're still trying to avoid spoilers for Forgotten Land, don't worry! One, it'll probably still be a good few months before I actually get to any new asks anyway since I'm still working through my backlog lmao. But more importantly, two, all asks and posts related to Forgotten Land will be tagged with "#Forgotten Land Spoilers" for the time being, so if you need to, be sure to blacklist that tag if you haven't already!))

Welcome to the ask blog, where I post very often for a couple days and then disappear for the rest of the year!

Usual Schedule: New asks posted on Saturdays, first at 8:30am, then reblogged on Sundays at 3:00pm (Eastern, EST/EDT depending on the month).

Can u handle the boop notifs of an auto clicker :)

Also I love how the BOOp-o-meter this time around is both a pumpkin making a >:D face AND the silhouette of a cat head

Magolor took the offered Gem Apple from his otherworldly counterpart, the grateful smile on his face expressed through his eyes. "Thanks! I know a nice place we could go to enjoy these, if you'll just allow me..!"

Teleportation was an advanced and complicated form of magic (which is what made Meta Knight's cape oh-so-interesting to the mage); group teleportation even more so. Really, if it weren't for the energy-replenishing effects of the Gem Apple he was about to eat, he never would have attempted the task in such a low-stakes situation. Regardless, as his words trailed off, Magolor focused all of his magic into one point, and, in the blink of an eye, the three of them were transported to a completely new area.

"And... Huff... Here we are!" Magolor had brought the others to a forest clearing next to a river and a small waterfall. Of course, having somewhat of a relation to cats, Magolor wasn't a particularly big fan of water (especially when he wasn't wearing his magically enchanted hood), but he could still appreciate nice scenery when he saw it. He'd just... Appreciate it from further away.

Plopping himself down in the grass a safe distance away from the rushing water, Magolor took his first bite out of his Gem Apple, and, once he felt energized enough to speak, asked, "So, what brings you two to this fine world of mine today, anyway?"

My taranza: yes i am that taranza. What has my husband been saying about me

"Nothing bad, of course!" Magolor smiled, though, naturally, his mouth was hidden beneath the clasp of his cape. "He's just been telling me and some of my other friends from my world some stories about things that have happened in yours."

"Now, what has my other self been saying about me, might I ask?" His ears gave a light twitch as he changed the topic of the conversation. "Surely something about how great and cute and cool I am, right?" He added with a wink. Would it be self-centered to say such things about another version of yourself? Well… Yes, but it was also the honest truth! Surely the other Magolor would be honest with his own husband of all people, riiiight~?

Personally I think it would make a lot more sense for MMW to come before MNU, since Nova appears damaged when summoned by Meta Knight but not when summoned by Kirby. That, and it would make sense for Meta Knight to have been trying so hard in training to be better prepared after the domination attempt by Marx. Though not the strongest support, Nova can be seen in the background of the blowout blast minigame in Robobot, damage included, meaning they’re likely still alive. That’s just me, though.

Fair, but I'd argue that Meta Knight would already have a lot of reasons to want to get stronger even before Marx does his thing. Marx wasn't the first person to try to take over Popstar, after all. Even if we assume that Meta Knight didn't really know much about Zero and the Dark Matter take over, Nightmare was still a pretty big threat.

Obviously, though, consistency errors like the Nova being damaged thing wouldn't happen here. It's not like I'm trying to claim my timeline is canon for Kirby in general, so I'm not afraid to make little changes like that.

Nova explodes when Marx crashes into it, and I just don't see that being easy to recover from. I guess you could argue that Nova never fully died, since Kirby never destroyed its core like he had to do with Star Dream, but I dunno.

I didn't know about the Blowout Blast Easter Egg though. Do you happen to know what level that's in?

Overall I'd say both orders can make sense. I think I'll leave my order as it is, though, since having Milky Way Wishes happen afterward also gives Meta Knight more time to fix the Halberd before Squeak Squad, where it's up and running.
