Just Finished Chapter 2!

[Start ID. A close-up photo of one titular Provence Hairstreak perched on a rock. It is a butterfly only a couple centimeters long, with one of its big black eyes visible and lined in white, thin clubbed antennae striped black-and-white, and large, generally brown wings, with black spots amid a patch of orange on the forewing. Its most notable feature, though, is the ludicrously fluffy appearance of its front half: long setae the color of verdigris almost completely take over its head, thorax and abdomen, and the green hairs extend to its femurs and half of the hindwings. The white speckles dotting the green wings contribute to an overall fairy-like appearance. End ID.]

I don't have a computer that can handle actually downloading a game and I also don't know if Deltarune Chapter 2 is coming out on the Switch anytime soon so guess I'll just read ALL the spoilers all at once

Back at it again at [comparing my favorite video games]

Hollow Knight and Dishonored spoilers below the cut:

--

Dh1 Corvo and Ghost:

-Silent protagonists who gain void-related powers to help them progress. Only the first power is actually required to beat the game, though the others make it much easier.

-Magical abilities are gifted at least partially by a black-eyed god

-Have close relations to a ruler who died after trying to save their kingdom from a pandemic. The sickness is not well understood, even after extensive research, and was brought by a usurper who was jealous/envious of the ruler's power. All attempts at containing the sickness failed, but it's (implied to be) cured in some endings

-The kingdom they leave for a while after the pandemic begins, re-enter, and then traverse is not doing so well, and the vast majority of its inhabitants try to kill them. Many of said inhabitants have lost their minds from the aforementioned disease

-Can kill the usurper late in the game

-Can kill rich people

-Most of their allies die. Can kill allies themselves

-Friends with a kind old dude serving as their main method of long-distance transportation (kind old dude does luckily not die)

-Despite being almost perpetually in contact with it, never actually get the sickness. Their biology (possibly-genetically-immune-serkonan, hollow void being) likely prevents it

-Worlds probably take place in the same time period (according to fans anyway; most human AUs I've seen of HK are at least somewhat inspired by victorian england)

-The name of one popular ship in each of their fandoms involve weapons?? One person in the ship is red, associated with the person who brought the disease, and can be killed by the protagonist (though in HK's case, both members apply to these criteria)

-Their empires/kingdoms call themselves the only ones when there clearly are more civilizations out there

--

Dh2 Emily and Hornet

-Protagonists of sequel games, major characters in the first games and close relatives of the first game's protagonists

-Daughters of royalty and trained to fight (likely from a young age)

-Heirs to the throne of the first game’s kingdom/empire but can’t actually become queens/empresses because Sequel Game Plot gets in the way

-Technically they can die in one of the first game’s endings but no one regards it as canon

-I haven’t actually played Silksong (duh) or Dishonored 2 yet though so this list may get much longer

Much zooming in will probably be required

id: a digital drawing of an original character-diner. siner is a humanoid with blueish grey fish scales, a fish tail and a sea urchin head. they’re wearing a yellow dress with a floral pattern, white socks and black roller skates. they’re shown skating along a rainbow, throwing both of their hands up in the air, making peace signs. the background is blue and filled with fluffy clouds. end id

diner uses any pronouns

they should invent a sandwich in which all the ingredients stay where you put them and not slide out
