I think it has to! Regardless of WHAT Marx is now after making his wish (…he’s half Chinchilla, that’s what!) I feel very strongly about his inclusion here because he did not have The Gloop in the SNES game. It was a new addition for the DS remake of Milky Way Wishes, which was directed by Kumazaki Shinya, aka, the father of modern Kirby.
He’s been setting this up for a very long time.
Meanwhile, I’m still trying to figure out if Elfy’s purple/blue eye color plays into things at all. I mean, the Nova appear to be alive, or at least, have a mechanical semblance of life. And since they’re based on Fecto Forgo, well, it makes me wonder…
…Do the Nova just use Fecto’s form as a base for the heart, but are otherwise entirely manmade/Ancient-made? Or is there an actual Fecto simulacrum, aka, a living clone inside the heart of each Nova? After all, Star Dream has a heart beat. And if Fecto Forgo is so deeply tied to the power of dreams, what does it mean that you need multiple Fountain of Dreams to summon a Nova…?
(Hrrrgh, now I would really love to find more Marx = Rogue Noddy evidence, or anything tying the Noddies to the Dream Fountains, because it would be even more delicious thanks to Forgo’s ties with dreams. Like, can the Hearts of Nova speak to people through their dreams? Is THAT how Marx found out about them?)
Realized I forgot to properly color the background due to lighting effects in the last page and was able to darken the background just right. Also to give some information to lessen confusion, yes, BOAW takes place in the nextgen AU BUT takes place before Meta knight’s death which was the tipping point for some changes in the main four (also before Castella but that was kinda obvious).
WELP. Thought I could juggle a ton of things this week but apparently not. I’m quite tired so there’s no way I could finish what remains of the second page today, apologies. I am however going to start altering the style to the meta knight comic since I really liked the way that looked and was much more comfortable doing it.
