WHEEZES SORRY I RESPONDED TO THIS SO LATE

So, the story of selfshipping with him kinda came about when I realized when I was kin with Galacta Knight and started getting memories of being with him in that life (this was... god whenever I got back into the fandom again, it's been a few years at this point).

The feelings of love was just so strong that it has bled over to loving him outside of that... I dunno why my brain is saying situation, but my brain is definitely not functioning fully atm. I don't have any specific self insert of myself for that (I've designed s/is in the past but never committed to anything), but overall I just very much enjoy and love him.

And I would say I properly 'met' him when I got back and started playing the newer games, because before that a lot of my experience was playing most Kirby 64. Once I dived headfirst into the stuff that came out after that - or even before that on different systems - I discovered a lot of identity stuff and characters that I love and are close to my heart, including Meta!!
