Craneo87me - My Name Is Craneo

My boy magolor for the ask thing

deceptive wizard time

favorite thing about them - ngl, his personality is a joy. even when he's a huge jerk, he's incredibly entertaining, one of the best written characters in the entire series

least favorite thing about them - id like him to like. actually play a Role in his re-appearances instead of having pointless cameos because he's popular. c'mon hal, you literally brought him back from the dead, use him.

favorite line - "You are such a cool dude!"

brOTP - uh. Well it's canonical fact that he really wants to be friends with Kirby, so let's go with that. I imagine he at least used to be buddies with Marx at some point.

OTP - Marxochilly gang ngl

nOTP - idk honestly? though people that ship him with kirby make me feel uncomfortable

random headcanon - the reason he returned to popstar specifically is that despite him having questionable moral compass, he STARTED to genuinely feel companionship with kirby, dedede, meta knight and bandana dee and wanted to make amends. like his star allies guest star description says, he wants to be friends... and conquer the universe together. he might be shady, but he's hungry for positive social interaction.

unpopular opinion - while i'm all for magolor redemption, people woobify him a bit too much a bit too often. like he did some genuinely shitty things in the past, he literally tried to conquer the universe, he backstabbed people that genuinely trusted him. he should be held accountable because his current attempts at making amends were not the greatest. (gifting theme park is not a redemption)

song i associate with them - "under my control"

favorite picture of them -

Finally,, some Bandee action,,,,

Bandanna Waddle Dee design in KatFL with Kirby and Elfilin. Now the whole gang is her-

right i suppose Meta Knight and Dedede are there as well fjekmslsa (eventually)

[The sidequest where the player fights Mara in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne has several references to the previous numbered titles.] [The summoning area references the 4 dolls used in a summoning ritual in Shin Megami Tensei II which goes wrong due to the inclusion of “The Dancing Doll” rather than the correct “Sleeping Doll”. The Nocturne ritual also goes wrong, likely for the same reason] [Baphomet’s incantation is taken from the introduction of Shin Megami Tensei, which invokes the names of God as part of its ritual.]

It reminds of gabriel from drakengard 3 more tbh

You see the xenomorph orochi?

Yes, it's very much an 8-headed serpent.

honestly a Warhammer collab could be kinda neat (though im mostly familiar with 40k) i like the concept of a space marine screaming "HERESY!!" when he see japanese teenagers summoning demons

Putting aside outliers like Sonic, what series would you think would be a good fit for a Dx2 collab?

Something that immediately comes to mind is Court of the Dead.It's basically a collection of lore to sell expensive statues and other merch of its collection of characters, but I like some of its designs:

I can't say I'm really in to the property, whose best days seem behind it, but it's more or less the American equivalent in quality/tone to the less-than-stellar JP series you'd see Dx2 collab with, like Seven Deadly Sins.

Ah, Dx2, you're the perennial "break glass in case of SMT main series doldrums," such as what we're in now.

Holy shit Kamen Rider Accel game

‘Kinetica’! A PlayStation 2 game where your body is the bike! The game actually came with a little art book too! This is the American cover artwork.

everyone is Square now

Happy Pride Month, from your favorite Wing.

sketched some Magolors today! fun fact when I was a kid & I first beat Return To Dreamland I literally thought I killed Magolor & he wouldn’t come back in any other games cuz he was permanently ded LOL

anyways I think under his hood he’s KINDA like Hyness but like. more cutesy? idk, I can’t imagine he has chameleon eyes bc his eyes are oval-shaped, and I don’t think he has Hyness’ nose either bc his face is too close to his scarf, there’s not rlly much room for it. So… he kind of looks like a cat tbh. Maybe this has some implication of like… Magolor being the Halcandran version of whatever Hyness is?? or Hyness being Halcandran himself? idk I’m not exactly up to date on my kirby lore

THE SECRET IS OUT
