"Onion's Kirby Piss Lore Shit-Show"

What's This?

This is my Personal Kirby Fan-Site, Home of my Kirby Lore!

The Kirby series has been my favorite media franchise for the past 8 years of my life, and the center of my adoration has always been for its world-building, characters, and unique writing style. For those past 8 years, I've been using the series' mythos as a springboard for my own writing based around its central themes of connection, redemption, and cosmic optimism mixed with my own personal tastes. My writing comes from a mix of serious analytical speculation and what I think is coolest or most interesting to me, and I don't agonize over making my style and tone accurate to the canon just to its deep yet optimistic tone.

What I write is far beyond the scope of what I would expect or even want the series to tackle in itself, and that is by design as Kirby is meant to be a source of inspiration not a puzzle to be perfectly solved some day. As Kumazaki once bravely put in an article only known for enflaming super-lore-fans by de-confirming a timeline:

"No matter how serious the story, Kirby is always at the center and will always remain the cute and mysterious hero who loves to eat. For the current Kirby series, we focus on providing new surprises while avoiding the establishment of immutable facts and settings that would constrain Kirby."
-Kumazaki for the Washington Post

And the way Kirby will never be solved, this project will never be 'finished' -- instead being a perpetual, passionate work-in-progress.

Highlight Guide:

  • RED = Text that is entirely incorrect and needs to be revised
  • YELLOW = Text that is contentious and is being considered for revision
  • GREEN = Test that is still correct despite being surrounded by incorrect or contentious material

General Notes & Updates:

  • The only mainline Kirby games I haven't played are Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, and Kirby Squeak Squad
  • In general I have yet to fully digest the lore of KatFL and RTDL besides solidifying my magic system, so one day Ancients lore will be majorly revisited and rehauled.
  • Waiting on a more in-depth trailer of World Beyond to really right something on it
  • Thinking of doing a canon overview series of essays to help myself and others get down and dirty in lore since I've been away for a while...
