The Heroine - Unwoman

(old post)

siblings

i am so normal about bug fables (lying)

my headcanons about void in hollow knight :D i also think eventually, with the palace being so brightly lit, the void constructs thicken on the inside and have to be phased out

[id: a series of black-and-white labeled sketches. the first is a jar of black liquid, with text reading “void in its natural state- very goopy, like molasses”. the second is a picture of a cup of void, then a flashlight shining into the cup, then a solid block of void in the cup’s shape. text reads “exposure to light thickens over time, eventually turning it solid”. the third picture is of the lighthouse shining over the void lake. the top part of the lake is labeled “thick, immobile layer,” while the rest is labeled “thin liquid layer”. text reads “the void lake is too large to completely solidify, so the lighthouse works by thickening the top layer so the rest of the lake cant break through”. the next picture is of a mold for a void construct, next to a kingsmould with no armor, labeled “barbequed”. text reads “the void constructs are formed by exposing the void to blinding light inside the mold for a short time, essentially solidifying the shell but leaving the inside liquid”. the final picture is of the king looking at the young hollow knight, sleeping. text reads “being half pale being, the vessels are not affected by the light as strongly. however, exposure to bright light does make them sleepy”. end id]

idk if i've said it before, but another aspect about Hollow Knight's lore that compels me is that its a tragedy, but it's told through the story of the victims. The Pale King is a sterotypically tragic character in that the road to his damnation was paved by his own love, hubris, and damnation, but we don't deal with that downfall directly, and the game offers no sympathy for his situation. Instead, the characters who drive the story are the ones who would normally be the silent casualties accompying the downfall, or the victims of the protagonist's fatal flaw. We're given a story where for once, the focus is not set on the agony of the main character, but of the lives of the people he hurt, and we are privy to that pain and anger and sadness that was inflicted on the voiceless victims. We see the story unfold from their perspective, we watch them deal with the aftermath. And while they were discarded by the main plot of the tragedy of Hallownest after it was all over and done with (that being the fall), their pain isn't depicted as any lesser just because they were forced to be silent. Obviously they too are tragic characters, but they were forced into such circumstances because of their father's hubris and inability to concede defeat, and we see the refuge of his actions change the whole world despite it all, specifically because they loved their sibling too much to let them go.

Idk. It just hits different when you read it from that perspective, especially since it really drives home the fact that no matter how much the Pale King regretted his fall from grace, his emotions meant nothing because it still lead to his children suffering when they didn't deserve it. Hollow Knight is a story about the shadows of what many others would consider to be the main characters, and I love it for that

(Radi might also be a tragic character, as someone who was betrayed by her own people and then came back a monster when trying to chase her own glory, but we don't know enough about her side of the tale to say for sure, but I can say for certain that she makes a terrifyingly good antagonist)

Drew Team SnakeMouth fighting The Radiance cause why not

Background was a pain in my ass, was worth it tho

Also just as a bonus

Imagine if u were blindsided by ur first kiss was on stage in front of an audience and also ur incredibly smug friend was there smiling smugly

i like their dynamic

My favorite thing abt quirrel is that he can't fucking get over how short ghost is

Has to bring it up every time you talk to him

Everybody needs a friend.

I NEVER POSTED THJS HERE OOPS. anywyas amogus

You know, there’s one thing about this line that makes me wonder…

What if the spell on Monomon’s mask made it so that hunger and exhaustion wouldn’t affect Quirrel as much as a normal bug would?

I haven’t really seen anyone mention this, but it’s a pretty interesting to think about for me.

Remember when Quirrel returned the mask to Monomon and effectively released the spell as well, he instantly collapsed on his knees? What if that was the exhaustion the spell was keeping at bay catching up to him?

Not only that but based on the canon things we’ve seen in game and in the Quirrel comic, if Quirrel didn’t eat anything behind the scene, the last time Quirrel ate would be his meeting with Boon….. which was before his encounter with Hornet.

So in his entire time in Hallownest, he didn’t eat anything for a veeeeery long time.

After the mask was returned, Quirrel would need to relearn and readjust himself back to eating and sleeping regularly like a normal bug. Which would be hellish for the first few days, if not weeks or months even.

Even though a spell that’ll lessen the effect of hunger and exhaustion on a bug sounds good on paper, and Monomon or someone else probably did this with good intentions, the after effects of the spell being broken and the rehabilitation needed to soothe those suck.

But hey!! At least in this case Ghost and Hollow won’t be alone in trying to eat and sleep regularly like a normal bug should!!!

So Welcome to the Club “I Don’t Know / Forgot How To Function Like A Normal Bug” Quirrel”!!!

Here’s your free (not) unlimited tickets for “the gang keeps reminding you when to eat and sleep for your wellbeing”!!

Eetl Bug Fables

OH AND MUSE I LOVE HER

they’re a side character that’s been onscreen for 5 minutes to YOU. I’ve known them for hundreds of years

This is the first fanfiction I’ve ever read and good LORD. Everyone(that’s finished Leif’s request)go read it now it’s good

Title: Trypanophobia Fandom: Bug Fables Characters: Leif, Kabbu, Vi, Dr H.B. Word Count: 2.477

Summary: A new illness threatens Bugaria and Dr. H.B. calls everyone to get vaccinated. Leif thought it wouldn't be a problem, until he sees what exactly a vaccination is.

@sicktember

Even though I haven't seen them reblog my stuff lately... is tumblr glitching again?! First fic for Bug Fables! I had a lot of fun writing this, these characters turned to be very dear to me over playing the game and it is nice to write characters who have a canon voice for once instead of having to make up 90 % of their personality.

i dont think lemm knows ghost is a descendant of gods. if they were to defeat the radiance and somehow survive they’re selling that trophy as soon as they get it and freak the shit out of some old recluse who probably never even noticed the infection was gone

I think it's a bit funny how the fact that PK having lots of sex is not only a canonical fact but is also important to the plot of the game.

Headcanon that idk if anyone else has but I think it’s funny so I’m posting it anyways

The Pale King isn’t the one who put all the buzz saws in the white palace.

The Radiance did. She did it as a prank, Shade Lord helped set them all up one night.

Featuring a shitty PK and a Radiance sprite bc I can’t draw her for shit
