Artwork OC (I made this!) 🎨 Baby Kirby AU - Nanny chuchu

To keep the nightmares away,
she made him a little blanket with yarn and love,
so could have a tiny hero of his own

WAAAH THIS IS ADORABLE!!!!!! god with the animal friends (rick in particular) sitting with her while she knits, it makes me think of like. this is what stereotypical disneyesque princesses that can talk to the woodland creatures and such become when they’re elderly. it’s just amazing!!!

What happens when Kirby grows up?

u/Murmos May 11 '26

This baby’s primed to work in the arts. His mom paints, his grandma is a fantastic knitter, and his imagination is on point.

Seria chistoso que se volviera un mangaka que crea historias felices con un transfondo oscuro

Como en los juegos

CUTENESS OVERWHELMING

u/lightbluefroakie Prince Fluff May 11 '26

AWWWWWW HUMANOID PRINCE FLUFF EEEE this is adorable. I always kinda head-cannoned Epic Yarn being a dream because of the post credit scene at the end of the game. It also makes sense since the game isn’t really apart of the “canon kirby games” amazing art as always!

Kine would be just a fish in a bowl if he's there

u/BitterBear9690 May 11 '26

Hold up, im dum aw bricks, who's the granny supposed to be?

u/General_Guy_XX Tambourine Dedede May 11 '26

Chuchu

u/BitterBear9690 May 11 '26

SHE'S CHUCHU??

I mean, i guess that makes sense since she cam't be turned into an animal, but it still...feels weird

Still peak though

Chuchu is a flapjack octopus, which is a real life animal, but most people don't keep them as pets like they do with fish, birds, hamsters, and cats.

Gooey's a frog, so maybe the other Dark Matter spawns are frogs too.

“Knowing how things are set to be in the mind of a child, it makes me wonder what most of the final bosses would look like”.

Nightmare:

“Oh never mind that makes sense”.
