Eh, intent stops with the writer, that's all I'll say.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Sometimes I forget there's art and stuff on deviantART.
Kirby must always be hardcore. Because that's exactly what a game series about a hungry pink blob should be.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?No, but... it's always been like that, even in the SNES era. It's kind of bizarre, really. You play along as your happy pink eaty blob thing fighting dogs and snowmen and red goomba things, and maybe an angry tree if it feels like really putting you through your paces, and then you get to the end and shit yourself
◊ because somewhere along the line HP Lovecraft himself went and vomited up some long-forgotten monstrosity from a backlogged novel somewhere all over your happy sugar game and has christened it the final boss. It's fucking creepy.
It's always intrigued me why they've done this. Maybe to contrast how good Kirby is? Or maybe they just like making the player uncomfortable and testing their expectations. Dunno. Love the series either way.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistOh yeah, Kirby is pretty cool and has a precedent for it.
I guess my complaint was directed more towards all the other grimdark fanart for things that are fully and genuinely bright and cheerful.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Like, you stumble on people diagnosing the different ponies with mental illnesses and having them torture each other. You find people trying to find reasons that the Smurfs are intolerant communists.
Like, fuck, man? Is it too hard to just like the show for the reasons it exists?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Fact: Sora's trip in Timeless River is an allegory for heroin addiction.
I almost didn't believe the stuff about Kirby when I first heard it, though. You almost expect it to be one of those creepypastas where WHOOOOOOO I HAVE A COPY OF POKÉMON BLACK, AND GARY OAK BLEEDS WHEN YOU BEAT HIM AND HIS TEAM IS DEAD AND YOU FIGHT IN A SHADOWY VOID WHOOOOOOOOO. I figured it was basically shit like that. And it was, only it was real.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistYeah. I'm not sure why Kirby makes it swallowable while other mixes of cutesy and scary don't.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I like to think this is what the Colour out of Space looked like.
(Keep watching past the first stage.)
Geez, that's creepy. In a good way.
Make no mistake, I like creepy, and I like dark, and I like sad and I like terrifying.
Hell, I even like subversion to creepiness.
But I just can't stand it when people take something that's meant to be light and happy and senselessly and with full seriousness make it something it's not.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?There's this fanfic out there that illustrates that. I need to find it...
Also found this other fanfic, which I am personally titling "How Not To Write Descriptions", which is a much better title than its real one, "Demon Darkness Rose". Swear to god.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistAn excerpt from "How Not To Write Descriptions":
At which point I choked on all the purple and died.

Sabé was grateful to Cloud for getting her the notebook and getting her to rethink the way she was handling this, and Cloud was just glad she was nice to him for no other reason than "because". Obviously the reasons you've mentioned are why this won't work if they do ever meet again and it would fall apart just as quickly, but for what it is, which is a quick finale about the inherent goodwill in human nature and whatnot, and a last goodbye, there really isn't that much harm done.
