Communal Tumblr Stim Toy Pass It On

Name: Walf

Debut: Kirby’s Return to Dream Land

On today this creature critter cFriday we are gathered to celebrate Walf! Walf is definitely one of the most critters I can think of. It is a really wonderful design! Flippers like a sea turtle, antennae like a beetle, and a round shell like both! Not too turtley, not too beetley, Perfectly Walf.

Walf looked quite different in its original appearance! More turtley, I think? Or maybe even mammaly. I don’t like it as much. I wonder if I would like it more if it was bald.

Nope! I don’t like it more bald.

All that being said, I don’t DISlike the original Walf design at all, it is quite cute! But in Planet Robobot, only the second ever appearance of Walf, they felt the need to completely redesign it. And this design, I LOVE! I like the colors more, the face is cuter, it feels like a more consistent design overall, good job, Walf!

There may not be any merchandise of Walf (yet), but take solace in that it does exist in-universe, thanks to the figures in Forgotten Land! This is also how its name was confirmed! For over ten years, we were just going by the file names that called it Walf. We could only imagine what they might ever officially call it in-game! We imagined they would call it “Walf”. Hey, this is only a two-star figure? Surely there must be a mistake!

Much better! Much more realistic!

Interestingly for something with flippers, Walf spends its aquatic time on TOP of the surface of the water! Also interesting is that while it has antennae and moves on the water surface, it is not based on a water strider. If anything, it makes me think of a whirligig beetle! Walf can do more than swim, though. So much more.

back at it again

pain 2: electric bloogaoo

evil etymologists be like:

helicopter comes from the greek words ήλιος (hēlios) and κόπτω (copto), meaning "sun" and "cut" respectively.

this is because the blades of the helicopter chop sunlight.

this is why it's also called a chopper.

i noticed oops i did it again and baby one more time sounded pretty similar a long time ago, so i decided to put them together to make my mind shut up about it

No one asked, but here's a mod that lets you do flips (does not come with cosmetic changes as seen in the gif, just somersaulting capability)

took me longer to make the video than it did to make the mod download is in the desc of the video

Modding is really fun

this reminds me of one time in AP Language

last quarter in my AP Lang class, my teacher asked "ok class, let's separate these sentences into its subject and main verb." (it was a two part activity, we were supposed to find the subjects of each sentence in a paragraph and then find a pattern. we never got to the "find the pattern" part that day)

it was getting increasingly obvious that most of my class forgot what a verb was. he asked people to point out a verb in a sentence, and some people said adjectives, nouns, or adverbs instead.

so he spent the entire hour reteaching the parts of speech lol.

an improv show that begins with asking the audience for one word prompts but as it progresses it becomes increasingly clear that they’re just testing the audience members on which parts of speech they know

update

currently working on a new project. gonna take a few weeks i think but might as well post my progress (this is one week's worth of work 😞)

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

RETURN TO DREAMLAND DELUXE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAA
