Metasusie

Metasusie is the het ship between Meta Knight and Susanna "Susie" Patrya Haltmann from the Kirby fandom

Canon
Meta Knight and Susie met in the latter's debut game, Kirby Planet Robobot, where she worked as the second-in-command of the Haltmann Works Company, in the game the Company invaded Planet Popstar and began mechanizing it and its inhabitants to further the company's goals of "prosperity. Susie was leading the invasion when Meta Knight tried to stop it along with his Meta Knights, however he failed and she managed to subdue him offscreen, before capturing and transforming him into her cyborg servant as she was impressed by his skill, power and determination.

Susie is beaten first by Kirby in a battle and in their next encounter she summons forth Meta Knight (now christened Mecha-Knight) to defeat the pink puffball, who ultimately wins, forcing Susie to cut her losses and retreat with Mecha-Knight. In her third encounter, Susie calls forth an upgraded Mecha-Knight and shows massive disbelief when Kirby defeats him again, and frees Meta Knight of her control in the process. Later on, Susie teamed up with Meta Knight and Kirby to defeat the rogue Star Dream after it absorbs President Haltmann, before parting ways after the machine is stopped, now reformed.

In her next appearance, Star Allies, Susie has completed her redemption and now is a "Dream Friend" who Kirby can call forth to help him and his friends (Meta Knight included) out against the Jambastion Cult, so as to prevent the awakening of Void Termina, a Dark God. Susie also stars in her own special route in the ''Guest Star ??? Star Allies Go!'' subgame, where she fulfills a similar role to her optional assistance in the main story, but now faces the Meta Knight-like Morpho Knight as the final boss, she still can team up with Meta Knight if he's picked as a NPC or Player-controlled ally.

Fanon
was first shipped shortly after the release of Kirby Planet Robobot in which Susie debuted. The ship's popularity came about because of comments Susie made about admiring Meta Knight's power and strength and going as far as putting him under her control after she managed to capture and roboticize him in order to create stronger robot forces from his template. The shipping only got stronger once the third and final wave of DLC came for Kirby Star Allies (released in 2018) in which Susie is now a full-time ally and even has a special title screen animation where she tries to amicably interact with Meta Knight despite the latter's fear of her and chases him down when he runs away startled.

The ship enjoys a fair amount of popularity in the fandom, having considerable amounts of fanart and fanfiction. Though the fanart can often involve it in a one-sided situation with the feelings coming from Susie. Though as with most Meta Knight ships, the knight is often portrayed as a tsundere who rarely shows his reciprocal feelings of love towards Susie and will inevitably warm up to her if portrayed in a more developed manner. Sometimes the ownership of Haltmann Works might come into play since Susie currently owns the company. While she has turned over a new leaf after Planet Robobot, she will still be portrayed with an antagonistic streak towards Meta Knight as a result of her previous full-blown antagonism.

Some parts of the fandom do take issue with the ship due to the instances of Meta Knight being mind-controlled to serve Susie and some concerns about possible lack of consent and boundaries on Susie's part in addition to some implied trauma of Meta Knight left from the mechanization process he went through. Though this rarely leads to debates it can often come up when shipping-oriented discussions come up. By extension this ship's supporters have come to clash with Metadede shippers on occasions due to the aforementioned argument and subsequent back-and-forth discourse.
