hopefully the full thing is "DEATH TOLL IS 0 THANKS TO KIRBY'S VALIANT EFFORTS"?
so many nice little things!
- hope waddle dee and kirby are having fun!
- a very appropriate expression from kirby towards kawasaki's cooking!
- cake! fork (presumably not the type that shrinks you down and makes you fall onto the cake)! (knife!) cute lil bib for kirby!
- ducky!
- elfilin cameo!! unfortunately bandee doesn't seem to be there
- 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
Inverted Fate by Dorked - Empty Inside (Rift Part 6)
new inverted fate chapter just dropped in celebration of the anniversary! i just watched it, it's great (not that you'd expect otherwise from this particular AU).
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.
(from a truck-freaks-exclusive part of the newsletter)
also what's up with the lost girl leitmotif in that sneaking song
happy 8th anniversary for undertale, c/undertale_deltarune!
first anniversary since this community was created! 8 years (one for each human who fell into the underground) since undertale's release, but ∞ joy to be derived from it. thank you, toby!
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
euphemisms for vehicular deicide
[image: (kirby, bandana dee, and elfilin, together, happy.) Kirby and Bandee, cheerful: "We've only known Elfilin for a day and a half." (visions of Elfilin's capture.) Bandee, closing his eyes: "But if anything happened to him..." (a god is slain by a truck.) Kirby, angry: Somebody's bidding a "Full-Speed Farewell" to their life.]
decided to overhaul my program for turning scripts for new world friends chat into actual series of text boxes. support for bold and italics! the ability to put text boxes side by side! and in general, a more cohesive design that made the above things -- and some other things as well -- possible! took quite a while, and required a lot of thinking, but i'm pretty proud of the final result.
and what better way to celebrate than by implementing a meme idea i've vaguely had for some time now! the "full-speed farewell" part of the song title "a full speed farewell from the new world" is kinda interesting, given that the song plays when you're trying to ram a big rig into someone. more like a full-speed farewell from the mortal realm.
and, well, if there's one thing in the new world that could provoke that kind of retaliation from kirby, it's probably kidnapping his new friend elfilin. and that's the basis for this post, expressed through a variation of this meme.

Ralsei Chapter 2 by FafaMeow
[image: high-resolution drawings of ralsei's various chapter 2 sprites, with the original sprite accompanying each drawing. also, there's butler ralsei, hand behind head, saying: "U-umm, you don't have to scream... Just because you like my outfit!". drawings include ralsei standing, eating cotton candy, adopting that one dialogue portrait face with the big eyes and angry eyebrows and closed cat smile mouth that i don't know how to label (his hands are balled up in fists in the drawing), falling, waving goodbye, doing that one balanced-on-one-foot pose from when the delta warriors first meet up in cyber field, flattened, and bowing as a butler (the original sprite wasn't bowing).]

[email protected] is doing pretty ok right now in terms of activity, so lemmy ralseipost here instead.
oh also there's a discussion question post i found on lemm.ee from 24 days ago. it didn't federate over, so i did the search thing and brought it over to lemmy.world.
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.
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.
Federation issues with kbin.social?
Hi. As far as I can tell, none of my posts or comments from here are reaching kbin.social. I first noticed this about 3 days ago, trying to post comments to [email protected] from here.
What's strange is that lemm\.ee and lemmy.world seem to be federating perfectly fine, as do lemmy.world and kbin.social. This post I just made from lemmy.world is visible on both lemm\.ee and kbin.social, but this post I made from lemm.ee yesterday only shows up on lemmy.world, not kbin.social. Both lemmy.world and lemm\.ee are on version 0.18.1 right now, so I doubt it's related to the 0.18.0 Kbin-Lemmy federation issues. I'm also assuming the two instances are not intentionally defederated.
I can provide more details if needed. For now, I'm considering making an account on kbin.social to manually bring over some of the affected posts/comments. Either that, or reposting the content through my lemmy.world account.
Edit: made a kbin.social account. Seems like lemm\.ee can view kbin.social comments, just not the other way around. As nice as the threadiverse is, it seems like there are still quite a few technical headaches to deal with at this point in time...
the fediverse has done a great job replacing reddit for my scrolling-though-random-stuff needs! as for more niche stuff, it's still not there yet (as has been pointed out many, many times already), but i'm trying to help! i'm posting and commenting regularly on [email protected]. "be the change you want to see" and all that. i encourage everyone else to do the same with their niche communities!
edit: though at this point i have 4 accounts across different instances (here, lemmy.world, kbin.social, feddit.online), thanks to various things. so it's not entirely smooth sailing for me right now
for the record, i say it the first way (/u/ as in “goose”). hearing kirbyvolt (other comment) say it the other way in their kirby and the forgotten land let's play is what inspired me to post this.
i wasn't able to find an official english pronunciation from the nintendo of america youtube channel, but here's how various youtubers pronounce it:
/u/ as in "goose" / awoofy:
AntDude
pengyd769
Miketendo
The Completionist
Quasimofo
BornLosersGaming
StephenPlays
The D-Pad
/ʊ/ as in "foot" / awoofy:
Etce
Daily Doodles for You
KirbyVolt
ZackScottGames
based on this list, it seems like the first pronunciation (/u/ as in “goose”) is more common. but this isn't a big sample size so who really knows. feel free to bring up how other youtubers / notable people say it.
do you say the "oo" in "awoofy" like the "oo" in "goose" or the "oo" in "foot"?
in ipa: do you say /əwufi/ (/u/ as in "goose") or /əwʊfi/ (/ʊ/ as in "foot")?
yet another way to put it: do you say awoofy or awoofy?
or maybe you say it a secret third way?
edit: hey look we have enough posts to get a second page of posts now! :)

boopy the awoofy. you know you want to.
just making a relatively low-effort thing to verify that my posts will be visible on lemmy.world.
