I Found A Friend Today

I found a friend today

From my writing blog, just to prove I ain't dead! I'm working on a few updates and perhaps a new au fic because I apparently need more than the ones I already haven't finished. Help.

Meta Knight headcanons

I am back from my unexpectedly busy vacation and I have some headcanons for you guys while I work on some fics. These are for my gijinka version of him but most could still apply to his good ol borb form. (These are for the game universe)

- He is tiny! He’s 5 feet tall and due to being a flying critter he weighs only about 60 pounds. He has a slight build yet he is pure muscle (and spite).

- He has retractable claws. He wears gloves all the time to hide these.

- Meta has a horrifying mouthful of bear-trap-like teeth. They regenerate when knocked out or damaged. His more demonic traits were genetically engineered by Nightmare.

- He’s a hybrid created in a lab by Nightmare. His unstable genetics render him completely sterile. These two facts have given Meta a bit of a complex when it comes to family.

- He LOVES sweets. He mostly eats fruits for health purposes but he has been known to gorge himself on pastries or parfaits until he becomes quite ill. He will deny this even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

- Meta likes snuggling up into corners and wrapping himself in anything blanket-like (usually his cape). He always faces outward, and will place himself in front of anybody with him. Trying to wake him from one of these naps results in a vicious hissing demon and numerous claw marks.

- He isn’t actually the same species as Kirby. He’s a demon created to specifically mimic the species. He does, however, have the same big doe eyes that Kirby has. Don’t tell anyone.

- Meta is actually a fairly competent mage. He is especially adept at wind and dimensional magic. His cape is an extension of his energy.

- His eyes are bioluminescent. He enjoys scaring people when it’s dark.

- He’s bi, but can be skittish about displays of sexuality. He views such things as exceedingly private. He can never quite stifle a giggle at a really good dirty joke, though.

- Meta likes to perch on tall objects. Several particularly flimsy cabinets have fallen victim to this habit.

- Unless you are his significant other or an extremely close friend, resist the urge to pick him up. Doing so will result in several kicks to your most sensitive areas.

- The membranes of his wings feel like soft velvet. The other parts are covered in small hard scales. He molts these yearly and becomes enraged by itching during the several days the molting is at its heaviest.

- He has a hair-trigger temper, but never strikes anybody in anger. In fact, he is most often enraged at himself for whatever real or perceived mistake he’s made. Meta is quite creative and enthusiastic with his insults.

- His ears are long and pointed. They can move to pinpoint sound, and also move in response to mood. Something particularly interesting may get him to flick his ears.

- Meta is exceptionally beautiful, to the point where he could easily manipulate others. He’s also completely oblivious to both this and to any romantic interest someone may take in him. He’s a blunt guy, despite his formal speech, and often misses out on social cues.

- He has yet to unlock the mysteries of the mythical “hair brush”. While he is fastidious about hygiene, he never bothers to contain his ever-fluffier blue mop. There are secrets (and possibly several of his lost tools) contained within.

- He has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. He will be very flattered if you call him Doctor.

- Meta and his crew build and sell weapons and other equipment to fund their operations. The Halberd accounts for about 75% of their expenses.

- He likes having his head pet. Only Dedede knows this. Meta is too proud to ask to be pet, so he butts his head against him like a cockatiel.

- Dedede is his BFF. They make even worse decisions than usual when together. Dedede’s mask and rocket hammer were built by Meta as an apology for his attempted invasion

Well, there’s your guide to oversized bats with masks. Hope you enjoyed reading! My interpretation of Meta is a bit different than a lot I see on here. All of these sweet, wise Metas while I have an angry gremlin, lol.

Inktober #8 "crooked" What a trustworthy guy!

This is amazing

Colored Dark Meta Knight gijinka! He looks way more threatening in color lol. Must be all the red! And yes this is fully colored, he just has literal white skin. I headcanon all the mirror-worlders as having white to gray skin to fit their monochromatic theme (and because it looks creepier).
